[center][h3][color=fff79a]Fields of Dorter[/color][/h3][/center] [@Evanist][@Crimson Raven][@Cyrania] As they heavily armored man and woman sprinted away from the oncoming horde, the Taguel approached -having transitioned into her bestial form- and offered to carry the man and the woman to safety. As the man declined the notion, Jo-Anne turned and attacked the nearest Risen- [hider=Combat Logs] [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (18 ATK) vs [b]Risen B[/b] (11 DEF) [b]Jo-Anne[/b] strikes at [b]Risen B[/b]: 23 ATK vs 12 DEF= 11 Health Loss [b]Jo-Anne[/b] strikes at [b]Risen B[/b]: 22 ATK vs 12 DEF= 10 Health Loss Risen B falls to the ground. [center][i]Jo-Anne gains 10 Char XP, Jo-Anne gains 15 Job XP[/i][/center] [/hider] felling the creature as it groans from the assault. However, due to her attempt to save the wayward people, she draws the attention of a few nearby Risen. [hider=Combat Log] [b]Risen C[/b] (13 ATK),[b]D[/b] (13 ATK), [b]E[/b] (12 MAG) vs [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (15 DEF, 15 RES) [b]Even Rhythm triggers[/b]: +2 LCK on even numbered turns [b]Risen C[/b] strikes at [b]Jo-Anne[/b]: 18 ATK vs 19 DEF= Miss!

[/hider] Their mindless assault misses the nimble creature. As the escape continues, Erion bolts forward on his chocobo assaulting the Risen that had assailed Jo-Anne- [hider=Combat Logs] [b]Erion[/b] (18 ATK) vs [b]Risen C[/b] (11 DEF) [b]Choco Beak[/b]: +2 to Standard attacks [b]Erion[/b] strikes at [b]Risen C[/b]: 21 ATK vs 14 DEF= 7 Health Loss!

[center][i]Erion gains 10 Char XP and 10 Job xp[/i][/center] [/hider] His strike hits it's target, though the creature merely lifts his axe to swipe at the moogle- missing as his blade swings high and over the creatures head. As the horde now begins to converge upon the Boco and his rider- [hider=Combat Logs] [b]Risen F[/b] (13 ATK), [b]G[/b] (13 ATK), [b]H[/b] (12 MAG) vs [b]Erion[/b] (19 DEF, 10 RES) Risen F strikes at Erion: 17 ATK vs 25 DEF= Miss! Risen G strikes at Erion: 19 ATK vs 20 DEF= Miss! Risen H casts Fire at Erion: 15 MAG vs 13 RES= 2 Health Loss [/hider] though they escape the assault with only minor damage. As Gabranth and the woman continue their sprint towards towards town, the woman continues to shout for aid. [@Eklispe] As the events of the battle begins to unfold, Holliander curses loudly as the taguel and the chocobo rider speed off, "Those damned fools! They'll be dead before the creatures even hit the city!" Turning his attention back to the troops, he'd lift up his sword, "We cannot use the Summoner now. Get ready for the charge!" All around the Myrmidon, a sudden unease grew. "No summoner... What are we going to do!," a soldier called out from behind Arus. "Why not just fire upon the fools?! No point in saving them if they have a deathwish!" shouted another. "Enough!" Holliander spoke, a sudden bright flash of light erupting from what seemed to be a common sword. All at once, the masses fell silent. It's now apparent to Arus just how respected the 'Sword Saint' was, his commanding voice seeming to echo over the sounds of combat in the distance, "It we shared that mentaility, half of you would be joining the ranks of the undead by now! It is with the light of God that we now strike at the monsters that threaten our world and those who would assault our home!" Rounding his chocobo towards the horde once more, the man would thrust out his sword as his voice bellowed out, "Charge!" before sprinting off. All at once, the soldiers around Arus shouted at the top of their lungs, beginning to rush forward onto the battlefield.

All around him, he can hear the sounds of bows being loosed and spells firing off, however the summoner merely stands there, eyeing over the battle as the forces before the city gates charge out the meet the horde, "I don't like this..." his says loud enough for Robert to hear, idly thumbing over his tome, "I don't like this at all."
