It all appeared to go according to plan. The Speartongue was in sight and Grant aimed carefully, then shot at it. In that moment, all seemed well. She was actually starting to think how easy this was going to be. Maybe it was actually going to go without any complications. So in that, Savayna wouldn't close her eyes just so she'd be able to savor the moment. However, as her ears waited and waited to hear the vibrations of the firearm sounding off through the hollow walls of the cavern and the sound of steel piercing flesh, immediately, she noticed something was wrong because neither of those things happened. It only took her a moment to catch a shadow arise from behind the toad. Moments later, as everything unfolded, the visage of a viper-looking monster came into the illumination from Lorenzo's magick and it was huge. No larger than Savayna remembered the deceased Judge Magister Robur was. Of course, nowhere nearly as bulky, but it was tall as he was, not to mention as ugly, too. Distracted by it, Savayna hadn't noticed the gathering of more Speartongues. By the time she did realize this, there were almost a dozen of them. One had shot a bubble out from their mouth and Savayna nor Lorenzo would be able to stop what happened next. [i]THUD[/I] Grant's body fell to the ground. Hard. Apparently, the liquid held a sleeping side-effect. Whoever was hit by it would feel the effects of it and find themselves on a one-way ticket to the land of Sleepytown. Just as she was going to pull out a spare awakening she had in her left pocket, she noticed one of the Speartongues lept for her. Unprepared and defenseless, Savayna looked and then, as if sensing her notion to be protected, Mateus was summoned and his trident sliced through it cleanly. Looking at the fallen toad beast, Savayna was thankful for that, but at the same time, she was in despair because now they had to find another one for the Sonosis Magicite. [color=7ea7d8]"Apologies, Savayna. I know you needed it alive, but, well you were going to die, so sorry but not sorry."[/color] Mateus said, disguising his snark as an apology. She scowled at Mateus as she gave GRant the awakening. When his eyes started to open, she kept her own on them. When she would get the non-verbal cues that he was okay, she stood up with him. [color=lightblue]"Next time, don't shoot the snot bubble."[/color] She warned him. And so they were back at it again. Mateus with his trident and floating in the air, Savayna wielding her Ice Queen Sword, Grant had his gun, and Lorenzo his lightning aura and fists. It was an all-out battle from here on. The goal? To retrieve an unharmed SOnosis Magicite. Ready? FIGHT!
