Taking Damage!

<Our heroes have succeeded in finding their quarry, the dreaded double Cyclops. However, the monsters proved to be quite the formidible foe, and without a high enough level to attack them head-on, it'll take a little bit of ingenuity from the party to overcome their foes.>

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::I need a ;Medpack!:::

<@Darren_McFist616 says> *Wrong game, bro.*

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::Oh yeah... I keep forgetting. Now where was I? Oh yes. Hiding behind inexplicably indestructible cover until I can somehow magic become fully healed with no damage whatsoever for some reason:::

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "I think there might be a bit of a flaw with that little plan of yours."

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::Don't be ridiculous! I hide behind things in order to mysteriously regenerate health all the time!:::

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "Is that it? You know you could just ask the party healer to do just that. And you don't even have to retreat and find some sort of blast-proof desk to cower behind."

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life!:::

<whitebishop2017 says> "I already healed you back to full health. Twice. Get over yourself."

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::grumble grumble grumble:::

<whitebishop2017 says> "I'm sorry, what was that?"

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::Whatever:::

<whitebishop2017 says> "That's what I thought."

<@Darren_McFist616 says> *Um, hey guys. Don't mean to interrupt your happy little chat but there are two angry Cyclops that aren't going to punch themselve in their one-eyed faces anytime soon.*

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "I hadn't forgotten. I was just distracted."

<whitebishop2017 says> "Again."

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "Hey. Not funny."

<whitebishop2017 says> "I will admit, these monsters are a bit tougher than I thought they'd be."

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "A bit?"

<whitebishop2017 says> "If I could punch you from across the country, I would."

<@Darren_McFist616 says> *Hey, Rook! You see how the Cyclops does a combo of one short punch followed by three sweeping swings of it's club? I think if you jump in front and block with your shield right when the final swing comes around then charge dash into it, I think you might be able to stagger him long enough for me to jump in and deliver some massive damage with a flying knee to his weak spot.*

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "I think... I think you might be onto something. I'll give it a shot."

<The hero Rook waits patiently, attentively, for just the right moment to step in and, hopefully, put the hulking Cyclops of his balance. Finally, the perfect moment arrives, Rook leaps into the path of the Cyclops giant log of a club, The blow successfully bouncing off the Rook's shield, doing no damage and making the Cyclops recoil from the effort. The Rook seizes the opportunity, ramming the monster off it's center of gravity with the massive shield, sending it stumbling back several steps. On perfect cue, In flies McFist, who times his jump flawlessly so that he will be in perfect condition to nail the monster right in the eye with his flying knee attack, which drops it's health bar to the red.>

<@Darren_McFist616 says> *That's how it's done, Rook! Nice job! Excellent work, pal.*

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "Well, I try."

<The second Cyclops gives a screech, and rushes the heroes>

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::Don't celebrate just yet!:::

<@Darren_McFist616 says> *I think that's the first time you've ever said something somewhat useful, Blazen.*

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::Shut up, McFist.:::

<@Darren_McFist616 says> *Alright, everybody dodge on 3. 1...2...3*

<The Cyclops drops it's shoulders, put's it's head down, and comes in like a linebacker. Fortunately, The more agile heroes are able to dodge in time, however, Bishop, who lacks the base speed to actually fly out the way in time, despite her best efforts, is grabbed by the feathery wing and tossed against her clean through a massive wall a distance away.>

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "Me...I mean Bishop!"

<The Cyclops, as well as his already injured compatriot, converge on the downed fairy/angel/healer/white mage/whatever girl, one blocking the whole made in the wall into the newly opened next room, the other moving to attack her directly.>

<whitebishop2017 says> "These guys are much stronger than I thought they were. I'm practically dead already."

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "She's toast in there. She has almost no attack power!"

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::I'm sure it'll be fine:::

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "Are you out of your mind?"

<Blazen Gunzen simply points back to the scene of the Cyclops attacking Bishop, both of whom... Have been stopped? By a giant, extremely massive, muscular shadow with no neck? The newly arriving hero, who's appearane is mostly shrouded in darkness, then proceeds to relentlessly beat the considerably smaller monsters into a critical state. Once they have been sufficiently beaten, he drags their bodies, which are inches away from despawning, over to the heroes. As he steps into the shadows, it is revealed that, despite being extremely muscular, the Bishop's savior is a massive pink guy with a white face and button eyes. He drops the Cyclopsx2 to the feet of the heroes, happily offering them the finishing blow. He then walks off, leaving the Zone>

<@Darren_McFist616 says> *That guy? He's cool. Real quick tho.*

<BlackRookKnight16 says> "No kidding. I want him in our party. He looks unstoppable."

<whitebishop2017 says> "And adorable."

<{~Blazen~Gunzen~} says> :::Pssh. I could take him:::
