The Drive increases all SPELL rolls. Also, no, Gourd's just flying around awaiting instructions.
As for a sequel: Maybe! If I'm feeling like a fresh start which, knowing myself like I do, I probably will, it'll be a week or two before I post again. Should we keep it in this thread or no? Either way I'mma vary it a little...

I might do a little sequence thing if everyone does die, but steady on! At least try to put up a great fight! Might even pull out a win with the right imagination and rolls. Mostly the rolls.
-----------------------------------------------------------------Turn 116----------------------------------------------------------------

Feeling the panic and desperation of their situation, Kairy cannot help but lose a little bit of herself. Even with her ruthless efficiency, the odds just don't seem to play out well enough. Zuko is practically dead, she has no reliable and quick weapon, and death might as well be yelling "I'm coming to get you!". The only thing she can think to do that would wield results is use the crawler's own features against them. Picking one up, surprisingly easily, she launches it at the crawlers 4! smacking some and causing some to slow down. She continues to do this all around her, making sure not to get in anybody's way. She breaks off one's razor-sharp leg with her foot, cutting the bottom of it and causing her to bleed slightly as the sting of it sends shocks throughout her body. Holding it feels haphazard.
Subsequently, Renae and Razuna make it to the gorup with the crawlers behind them, Razuna having killed 4 on his way. Renae falls to her knees and gasps at Zuko's current state.
"Don't worry, don't worry! Everything'll be fine, let me just cats Soothe Wounds!" Wes assures her with a gulp as he prepares his spell. 3! A shimmering light envelopes Zuko as all his wounds are closed and he stops bleeding. However, his bones are still broken. Renae's eyes start to tear up while the crawlers and Anathema get closer. Fureira practically disappears from view as the crawlers surround her. Their deaths seem imminent.
Suddenly, a raging firestorm explodes from Fureira, melting the 12 crawlers that had surrounded her! Her swirling chakrams come closer and scare the crawlers to a stop, preventing them from getting closer. Renae is practically smacked with the realization of the medicine she carries! She quickly pulls out a Pitus Elixir and commands Zuko to drink it. He does so unknowingly, as the pain had brought him to deliriousness. He comes to his senses with Renae's smiling and teary face looking at him. She urges him to get up, shaking him lightly yet firmly. Zuko stands up, free of injury, but his armor is practically useless now.

Same as before, only Zuko is standing and Renae is by his right side with everyone within close proximity except Fureira, who is slowly closing the distance between her and the group.
Anathema will arrive next turn and be able to attack the turn after, and there are 19 crawlers left surrounding the party.
---------------
Only way to find out about what the blue vial does: Drink it!

E: Renewed writing vigor, page break, apparent desire from players for a new game should this one end prematurely.... today is good day.
I'm thinking of giving up, but then, after seeing my friends worried about me, trying their best to keep me alive, I realize that my life is the last thing I should be worried about right now.

I'm doing this for my friends who are counting on me to do my part and help them leave this battle victorious. I'm doing this for Haeyuna and the rest of the townspeople whose lives depend on the outcome of this battle. And I'm doing this for Bazyli, who died when he had so much to live for yet.

I can't let them down now!

"This is not over yet. We have to win this, or everything will be lost. Let's erase this monster from our world!"

I proceed to throw a ball of Dark Fire to the largest group of Crawlers!
---------------

EDIT: A sequel for this game would be awesome! I'll be looking foward to it! :D

I keep on forgetting to remove those rolls from the top of the post cause they spoil the entire thing >=l
Maybe I should keep the note off to the side in a notepad or something.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Seiromem: I'd totally like to play another game like this with you as the GM, regardless of whether we lose or win this one. That is, assuming you'd let me join, of course.
But don't think I'm giving up this one. Kairy might be desperate at this point - I'm not. Not yet, at least.

--------------------

Zuko is back up again. Fureira is killing Crawlers dozens at a time. Everyone is standing in close formation and we still have plenty of medicine left. The tides on this battlefield seem to constantly be turning by the second.
This time, we have to make sure it stays in our favour for good. Time to start ending this madness!

"That's right! Wes, go for the big one now! Time to die, you disgusting monster!!!"

I combine Quickload and Zip Shot to fire an Angelous bolt at Anathema itself.

I'm much better at targeting single powerful enemies anyway. I'm sure the others can take care of the Crawlers without me.

Hey, my first accidental double post on RMN ever! Uncork the champagne!
Shouldn't I wait 'til Anathema's a bit closer? It's going to arrive next turn, but won't attack til the turn after. Seiromem, how does Smite work? Is Anathema in the attack's range or do I need to wait til next turn?

Anathema's coming soon, I need to prepare for it! We'll strike it down! I'll cast Power Strikes on myself.
Seiromem

As long as you have sight, you can smite!

Rhymes are nice.
"Go for the big one?" Does she mean that we should try to vanquish the Anathe- ah, she does! Right, I can't falter, I need to muster my strength for this! I shall not allow us to die here, not after... after Bazyli. No, I shall not let my grief distract now. I shall instead let it empower me!
"If we are to strike, then let us strike now! For Bazyli!" I shall muster all my strength now to Smite the Anathema!
(I have 100 problems with this post but eh)

-----------------------------------------------------------------Turn 117----------------------------------------------------------------
Renae's Soothing Presence adds +1 to all rolls! 3! With this boost, Zuko is barely able to cast dark fire at some crawlers! The resulting blast melts 5 crawlers as the demonic flame burns fiercely. Kairy drops the crawler leg to whip out an angelous bolt from her pack and load it in her crossbow instantly 4!, shooting it instantly with Zip-Shot! With a FWIP sound it lodges itself into Anathema's fleshy underbelly. A splash of light is emitted from the entry wound and Anathema flinches, preventing it from arriving. Razuna attempts to empower his strikes 1!, but fails miserably, dulling his blades instead! 3!
Wes brings down divine wrath unto Anathema, stunning it even more so!
The remaining crawlers attack! 2 jump at Wes, 2 at Razuna, 2 at Kairy and 1 at Zuko! The other 9 are getting cut down by Fureira's firestorm!
4! 2! 2! 4!
Wes swings his shield to face the leaping crawlers and knocks them aside! Razuna attempts to parry their attacks, but his dull blades don't injure them, and the resulting flaying of their limbs cuts his arms up! -1 to rolls involving arms! After shooting Anathema, Kairy turns to meet the two crawlers that jump at her! She sidesteps one easily, but the other jumps on her! Her armor is torn as a foul smelling mist starts to ooze out of the creatures mouth while it's limbs attempt to stab Kairy to death! Renae turns behind her and feels her heart skip a beat as a crawler lunges right at her! Zuko quickly steps in introduces the crawler's face to his shield. He then swiftly cuts the crawler in two.

-----------------------Current Situation-------------------------
Try a Top-Down Perspective. Renae had moved to the center, so she's now the center point. She's facing South East towards Zuko. Kairy is on the ground to the east with a crawler on her. Wes is North-North East with two crawlers in front of him. Razuna is South West badly cut with two crawlers in front of him ready to attack. Fureira is furthest away and north-West, decimating crawlers. Anathema is North where the Rock Formation is, a good distance away but will arrive in 2 turns, attacking on the third.
"Damnit, I really hate these things!"

I attempt to kill the Crawler on Kairy, while being careful not to hurt her.

--------------

wildwes, you could use Gourd to help Razuna with the Crawlers if it helps of something.

"Nice Job, Wes! Quick, someone go help Razuna before-
Argh! Get off of me, you little crapper!"

I try to shake the Crawler off of my body while grabbing another Angelous bolt. If Zuko manages to kill the Crawler or I get rid of it somehow, I will load my crossbow with the bolt. Otherwise, I'll use the bolt as an improvised weapon to stab the Crawler instead.
"Razuna! Here, I'll help you!" I need to get those Crawlers off him!

"Dammit, really not a good day...! Gourd! Get over here!" I call Gourd over to me, to help get these Crawlers off me before they kill me.
So then, what's up here?

Bun-bo, mafia idea hatching, making my game. Expect it tonight though. Ha nope nevermind.
You're making a game!? O.O

As hard as it is to believe, as a user on a forum dedicated to discussing and making games, I am indeed creating, making, birthing, and/or bringing a game into existence with the engine of my choice, VXAce. Even harder to believe, I have in-fact completed games, despite my lack of doing things, however the majority of them are community games.

Now who's final fantasy IV's villain?
I was just kidding with you Seiromem! XD

No need for the sarcasm... (unless I got it wrong and you're not being sarcastic, in that case, I take back what I said.)

And it's Golbez, if you're not talking about the final boss.
Seiromem... Hello? Are you trying to think of a snappy answer for my post?
Seiromem

don't worry it was in good spirit.
This is too:

-----------------------------------------------------------------Turn 118----------------------------------------------------------------

I need to get those Crawlers off him! -Wes 2!

I call Gourd over to me, to help get these Crawlers off me before they kill me. - Razuna 6!

The action buzzes around everyone, the screeches of crawlers and the cries of Anathema attack the ears of the party, and everyone has one thing on their minds: Everyone survives.

Zuko rushes towards Kairy and slashes at the crawler on Kairy 5! cutting it in half, allowing Kairy to quickly get up on her feet and load an Angelous Bolt in her crossbow. Wes rushes over to Razuna to attempt to bash the crawlers off of him 2! and promptly trips and falls on his face! Luckily for Razuna, his command for Gourd's assistance suceeded and the bird slamed into the crawler, stunning it and scaring the other away as Razuna is able to stand up and obliterate them! The remaining five crawlers soon shudder and collapse into lifeless piles as Anathema practically turns to stone! Almost immediately afterwards it bursts out leaving behind a hot, slimy molt! Anathema, no longer stunned, rushes towards the party and is in range for attack! It brings it's lower body as if to wrap around the party completely!

Same as before, only Anathema is in range to attack you!
"It's coming towards us now! What do we do now? Wha- Razuna, what are you-"
I'll use/cast Aura Burst on Anathema! "Hopefully this'll at least stun it or something!"
Er, and I'll be prepared to assist Razuna in case something goes wrong with that. (Unless someone else has a better idea of what I should do.) (Also, anyone have any idea when JJJ a.k.a. Razuna's coming back?)
