Rian clicked his tongue as he watched the Beast tear a number of bloody gashes in Ryouta's arm. They didn't look too bad, but it was his job to heal them even if it wasn't exactly necessary in his opinion. Nonetheless, he gave his staff a small twirl and began to chant, but something caused him to sputter and lose the spell. Some random AcadeMMO student, going by his appearance, charged out of nowhere towards the Cockatrice and landed a few hits on it. If Rian had seemed slightly annoyed at the fact that Ryouta and Haruka had joined the party, then he was downright angry at this scumbag who thought he could just sneak in and get rewards after realizing it was safe to do so. [i]'Oh hell no,'[/i] he thought bitterly, as he easily sidestepped the Cockatrice's spit attack. Its aim was good, given that Rian had to actually move, but it telegraphed its intent and acted on it so slowly that the Cleric was already moving before the spit had even left its mouth. Stepping away from even the drops that splattered when the projectile hit the ground, the glow that surrounded his staff's head wasn't green that signalled healing for Ryouta, but the same black aura that he'd just used moments ago. [color=39b54a]“Weakness revealed, vulnerabilities exposed, Frailty of Strength and Speed.” [/color] Muttering the chant, the aura streamed forward from his staff to surround and swallow Abigael, weighing down his entire body and draining his arms of any strength in them. At that point he didn't even care about what the others who were part of the "party" might have thought of his actions. Rian simply saw someone who was trying to take advantage of a situation that had been in control and reap the benefits. _______________ ((OOC: Abigael should have his Attack get dropped to 0, and his Speed to 4.))
