In varying degrees, some were less fortunate than others, but whatever dread he'd feel about it didn't seem to register in the boy's head yet. All that mattered was Marrie being able to break herself off and get a stab into the paleguard's chest. Even if he [i]did[/i] struggle to keep the pole-pipe-thing at a distance for long enough. But, as zombie rules apply, a simple stab in the heart wasn't enough to affect the guard in any degree. [color=goldenrod]"Ah shit-"[/color] Marrie being flung towards Finn was enough proof of that. He was about ready to dodge when she changed course and clipped him instead, only causing him to stumble a few steps back. He huffed. [color=goldenrod]"Use your melodies! Our weapons are useless against them!"[/color] The Timekeeper called out to the others. If anyone else could hear him. Hopefully. He was about to aim one at the paleguard when, as per the tradition of all these ridiculous battles, a giant ass snake launched into the MicroMart bringing with it the [i]actual[/i] cultists. Oh shit. So that meant-?! ...Ah. Well, hopefully the others will assume the charred corpses were cause of the cultists? Oh hey. The water truck's moving. This is going so well isn't it? Somehow he wasn't surprised this shit happens anymore. Everyone else was determined to keep the Cult of Aigorost at bay [i]while[/i] preserving the stolen truck from the looks of it [s]except the blindfolded guy trying to slice it in half like a samurai[/s]. Finn, on his end, fished Eddy out of his pocket and aimed him at the cultists. The eldritch Big Ed can take the opportunity to cleave them apart. With Marrie using the paleguard as part of her attack, the boy fired an electric projectile at the Grand Wizard guy instead. He wasn't a freelancer anymore, but he could still help stall their enemies as best as he could.
