It was far more wise for Theo to focus on defense, just as Reylan soon called out. The slash had hurt considerably, but Theo was prepared - he had expected it since he casted aggravate. Unfortunately, Aggravate only worked for a few seconds - after it was done, thee beast leaped towards Polak and rag dolled the trainer. Theo glanced at the blue bar in the top right of his vision, seeing that only 100 MP remained - a sight that worried him slightly. How long would that last in aggravate time - 20 seconds? 10? Theo knew that the party could survive the fight, but he needed to learn a new aggro gathering spell or action soon... Reylan was still letting loose shots from his bow, but he clearly could have fired off more had he not been directing everyone. Somebody needed to direct the group, and Theo was glad that someone took that up - especially considering this was their first boss. Karma, meanwhile was running low on mana - with such little stores left, it was good that the guards were going to die soon, and that Theo still had 75% of his health left. Theo had to talk to the rest of the mages in the party about getting at least Healing beam in order to lessen the stress placed on Karma... [color=a36209]"Be careful - Karma is pretty low on Mana!"[/color] Theo, of course, was unaware that Karma still had a blue and red potion, and was becoming nervous that the only healer was running out of their second most important resource (right after their health). Because of his focus on the Herald, Theo did not notice Alisea and Paralyze attacking the first guard - Theo did notice Paralyze begin to mutilate the herald, however. Theo quickly moved in front of Aster, who took a large hit from the Herald - Theo didn't have much more health than her, but he had significantly more armor. She was agile, and would surely be able to attack and retreat behind Theo's ironclad defense. [color=a36209]"C'mon big guy - If you don't like magic that much, attack the guy that's taunting ya with it!"[/color] Quickly, Theo cast Aggravate once more - his second-to-last casting of the spell. He braced himself for the expected hit, and continued to brace himself for the hits that followed. Should the herald attempt to turn his attention to the others, however, Theo would quickly use the gift he was given by the admin - he would don the Abyssal Mask, and make the Herald realize who the real threat here was. [hr] Summary: Move in front of Aster. Cast Aggravate. Guard. (If Herald continues to attack Theo after Aggravate is over) Continue Guarding. (If Herald does not continue to attack after Aggravate is finished) Use Abyssal Mask to scare Fenrir's Herald.
