[center][h3][color=fff79a]Fields of Dorter[/color][/h3][/center] [@Evanist][@Crimson Raven][@Cyrania] As the undead hordes began to swarm about the Taguel and the Moogle, the armored warrior from before rounded to the wayward duo as he rushed into the fray- [hider=Combat Logs] [b]Gabranth[/b] ([sup]1[/sup]/[sub]2[/sub] MAG + roll (1d6)) casts cure on [b]Erion[/b] [b]Gabranth[/b] heals [b]Erion[/b] for 5 Heatlh= [b]Erion[/b] is at 25 [b]Gabranth[/b] (9 MAG) casts Cure on [b]Risen H[/b] (12 RES) [b]Gabranth[/b] (13 MAG) vs [b]Risen H[/b] (15 RES)= Miss!

[b]Risen H[/b] falls to the ground [center][i]Gabranth gains 15 Char XP, Gabranth gains 15 Job XP[/i][/center] [/hider] felling the spell slinging Risen as he cleaves his way through to those who had made an attempt to aid them. As he attempts to fight his way into the masses, a few Risen turn on him- [hider=Combat Logs] [b]Risen I[/b] (13 ATK), [b]J[/b] (13 ATK), [b]K[/b] (13 ATK), [b]L[/b] (13 ATK) attack [b]Gabranth[/b] (19 DEF) [b]Risen I[/b] (15 ATK) vs [b]Gabranth[/b] (24 DEF)= Miss!

[/hider] though their attempts cannot seem to land a solid hit on the man. As he approaches the Moogle, his steed flaps it's wings as a soft and subtle glow settles about the trio- [hider=Combat Logs] Erion casts Choco-Cure twice on Jo-Anne, Gabranth [b]Erion[/b] (7 MAG) heals [b]Jo-Anne[/b]: 0 Health Gain ([i]At full[/i]) [b]Erion[/b] (5 MAG) heals [b]Jo-Anne[/b]: 0 Health Gain ([i]At full[/i]) [b]Erion[/b] (8 MAG) heals [b]Gabranth[/b]: 0 Health Gain ([i]At full[/i]) [b]Erion[/b] (5 MAG) heals [b]Gabranth[/b]: 0 Health Gain ([i]At full[/i]) [b]Erion[/b] (13 MAG) casts Choco-cure twice on [b]Risen C[/b] (9 Res), [b]D[/b] (9 RES), [b]F[/b] (9 RES), [b]G[/b] (9 RES) [b]Erion[/b] (15 MAG) vs [b]Risen C[/b] (14 RES): 1 Health Loss [b]Erion[/b] (17 MAG) vs [b]Risen C[/b] (14 RES): 3 Health Loss [b]Erion[/b] (14 MAG) vs [b]Risen D[/b] (14 RES): No Damage!

[center][i]Erion gains 10 Char XP, Erion gains 20 Job XP[/i][/center] [/hider] and seems to have an adverse effect on the undead, the moggle driving his spear through the chest of one as it topples under his assault. As Jo-Anne feels the comforting sensation of the spell (though feeling no physical effect) she charges at one of the Risen that had assaulted her- [hider=Combat Logs] [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (18 ATK) attacks [b]Risen D[/b] (11 DEF) until death. [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (21 ATK) vs [b]Risen D[/b] (15 DEF): 6 Health Loss [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (23 ATK) vs [b]Risen D[/b] (15 DEF): 8 Health Loss [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (24 ATK) vs [b]Risen D[/b] (15 DEF): 9 Health Loss [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (22 ATK) vs [b]Risen D[/b] (17 DEF): 2 Health Loss [b]Risen D[/b] falls to the ground [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (23 ATK) vs [b]Risen F[/b] (13 DEF): 10 Health Loss [b]Risen F[/b] (13 ATK) counters [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (13 DEF) [b]Risen F[/b] (14 ATK) vs [b]Jo-Anne[/b] (18 DEF): Miss! [center][i]Jo-Anne gains 10 Char XP, Jo-Anne gains 15 Job XP[/i][/center] [/hider] tearing into the creature as it bellows out before collapsing on the ground. As she tears into a nearby creature, it rasied it's blade to swipe back at her, but failing to connect it's strike. Suddenly, the trio has a chill sent up their spine. Though they have succeeded to stave off the assault at this one, an ominous feeling is suddenly cast over the battle field as the eyes of the Risen begin to glow a sinister red. [@Eklispe] As the town's militia slams into the flank of the horde (who had now surrounded the three inside) Arus begins to cleave through the nearest creature- [hider=Combat Logs] [b]Arus[/b] (23 ATK) assaults the undead horde. [b]Arus[/b] (24 ATK) vs [b]Risen A[sub]2[/sub][/b] (17 DEF): 7 Health Loss [b]Arus[/b] (28 ATK) vs [b]Risen A[sub]2[/sub][/b] (17 DEF): 9 Health Loss [b]Arus[/b] (25 ATK) vs [b]Risen A[sub]2[/sub][/b] (16 DEF): 9 Health Loss [b]Risen A[sub]2[/sub][/b] falls to the ground [b]Arus[/b] (29 ATK) vs [b]Risen B[sub]2[/sub][/b] (12 DEF): 17 Health Loss [b]Arus[/b] (25 ATK) vs [b]Risen B[sub]2[/sub][/b] (15 DEF): 8 Health Loss [b]Risen B[sub]2[/sub][/b] falls to the ground [b]Arus[/b] (26 ATK) vs [b]Risen C[sub]2[/sub][/b] (12): 14 Health Loss [b]Arus[/b] (27 ATK) vs [b]Risen C[sub]2[/sub][/b] (15): 12 Health Loss [b]Risen C[sub]2[/sub][/b] falls to the ground [center][i]Arus gains 20 Char XP, Arus gains 30 Job xp[/i][/center] [/hider] his fury seeing three fall before his blade as he helps drive the militia into the enemies exposed flank. This attack does not go unnoticed as some begin to diver their attentions to the myrmidon- [hider=Combat Logs] Risen D[sub]2[/sub], E[sub]2[/sub] (13 ATK) attack Arus (7 DEF) Risen D[sub]2[/sub] (17 ATK) vs Arus (11 DEF): 6 Health Loss Risen E[sub]2[/sub] (17 ATK) vs Arus (9 DEF): 8 Health Loss [/hider] landing heavy blows against the warrior in their mindless rage. As the yells of the guards mix with the gutural bellowing and screeches of the undead, a familiar voice rings out. Arus can see the elderly knight charging into the horde- swiping his blade as group of Risen are assailed by blades that seemed to fall from the heavens. But it was then, that Arus noticed the eyes of the Risen begining to change... Something was amiss. [@Lugia] Robert fires off a few bolts of Fire from his Rod- [hider=Combat Logs] Robert (22 MAG) casts fire on Risen F (9 RES) [i]Long distance: -5 MAG to Robert Weakness: +5 MAG to Robert[/i] Robert (28 MAG) vs Risen F (15 RES): 13 Health Loss Robert (25 MAG) vs Risen F (14 RES): 11 Health Loss Risen F falls to the ground Robert (22 MAG) casts Fire on Risen G (9 RES) Robert (24 MAG) vs Risen G (15 RES): 9 Health Loss Risen G falls to the ground Robert (26 MAG) vs Risen I (15 RES): 11 Health Loss [center][i]Robert gain 10 Char XP, Robert gains 20 Job XP[/i][/center] [/hider] seeing one fall to his assault and another take significant damage. The Lord Summoner, who at this point has been flipping through his tome, merely glances over to the Black Mage before speaking, "Aye! They are very odd. Which is why we usually let them approach and let our ranged pick them off before our warriors enter the fray. But since their all jubled together like that-" He says, turning back over the pages, "I'm looking for my teleportation spell. Perhaps I can move some of us closer to the fray!" An ominous silence falls over the battlefield, the Risen now seeming to stand in place as their eyes glow an ominous red. Though they still held weapons in their hands, they seemed to be frozen in whatever action they were apart of before the odd occurance. It's then an ominous shriek would resound over the battlefield, causing all the undead to bellow at the top of their fetid lungs. They continue their assault with renewed vigor and rage as their strength seems to have been bolstered. Behind Robert, a well dressed figure would ascend the stairs, he too carrying a tome in hand. "Have they done this before?" The man would speak, stepping up beside Robert and the summoner as he looks over the battlefield, "They never did anything like this back in Ylisse." Curiously the Summoner would glance up for a moment, his finger firmly planted on a page as he eyes over the newcomer, "And you are?" "Robin. I'm the commander of the Sherpards- the band who entered your town not long ago," He pointed out a cluster of the troops from earlier, "We've fought these things before... But they never did anything like this." "Yes... Well this is what I was afraid of," The summoner spoke as his eyes reverted back to the tome, his scouring even more frantic than before, "We end these fights as quickly as we can just in case a Dark Esper shows... And it seems we are too late."[hr] At this point, anyone paying attention can see a shadowy figure atop the hill overlooking the scene. It's obvious it's presence is effecting the undead in a rather odd way, and it casts an ominous shadow that blankets the shallow valley below. A sense of dread and unease settles over even the most jaded of soldier as the creature lets out another ear splitting shriek.
