As Lugh approached the kappa menacingly, the turtle-manlet coiled his legs as well, beady eyes seeking an opening, a moment to counterstrike. So long as the warrior held his posture, the kappa couldn’t advance, but if the warrior missed his blow, the kappa could close in. Though both of them moved slowly, maintaining the distance between each other, it was certainly a samurai showdown. Then Raime threw his bolts out in a loud and showy form of support for everyone else, and without the pressure of an archer keeping him in place, the kappa bolted as well, springy legs propelling it much farther than Lugh could travel. There was a fundamental difference in speed between the two, and while the ranger fumbled, trying to reload his crossbow, the kappa would break into the backline with his buddy, to wreak further havoc.

They rolled in the dirt for a couple of meters before the kappa shrieked in bestial rage. Webbed hands wrapping around Klein’s throat, the kappa’s beak-face opened up, revealing rows and rows of hooked teeth. If nothing was done immediately, Klein would literally have his face eaten by this monster. But if Klein could get this monster into a favorable position, Lugh could finally utilize his Power Attack! As the stick-wielding kappa broke free from Ames and rushed for Amulak, Ari’s well-placed, yet mistimed stone hurtled through the air, striking the kappa in the calf instead. He cursed her with a gurgling gasp, and before he could recover, another stone, this time from Magpie, bounced against his skull. The brawler girl bounced against his body as well, powering through the spear butt that was rammed into her gut as she pressed in further, past the 13 points of damage dealt. They were in close quarters now, and even though the kappa could clearly see magic wreath itself into Amulak’s palm, he couldn’t shake Magpie off in time. Fine then! He was gonna fuck her up! As the brawler battered him with her rock, the kappa twisted around as well, dropping his spear and wrapping one arm under hers, so that her rock slammed against his back, rather than against his neck or head. With the other, he slipped it below her groin, before hoisting her up! [b]“BRUGH BORUD LUPRIDEH! (FRONT FACELOCK SUPLEX!)”[/b] Magpie found herself upside down all of a sudden, the green limbs of her foe bulging with brawn. Amulak’s magical blast caught the kappa before he could forcibly slam her down though, the concussive blast just enough to force the two of them apart. The kappa was blasted back towards Ames, while Magpie, spared from the fate of having her back slammed into the hard dirt, fell face-first instead, her nose squashed into the ground and her health suffering yet another 9 damage.
