Remalius drifts into the familiar setting of the grand Seirei entrance hall, its palatial splendour dimly lit by the greenish light spilling from the windows. Three clerks are manning the desks this time- a severe-looking woman in immaculately-adjusted robes, the bespectacled older gentleman and the young man with a copper circlet, each with their own pair of guards in emerald-green armour.
In front of him, Celiria stands, having apparently just emerged before him.

Is this the same lady as before? If so, he'll take his

*Remalius' Papers from the Seirei Portal (Accessory, Quest Item, Light & Darkness, 1,000 Gold) +1 SPI (Bound to Seirei)
from his bag of holding and float towards the lady.
"Bing.. Here we are miss. I believe this should be in order. Inquiry, Pella is okay? Moonforest has not encroached? Inquiry: Status of moon forest."

'His orbs are a bright green this time, to reflect the moon verdant.

The woman's eyebrow arches as Remalius presents his papers.
"Unfortunately, present efforts are focused more on observing the Seed Rains and ensuring the safety of the various major settlements in the area. As a considerably lesser priority, we in this complex have not been informed of the situation in other areas unless it directly pertains to the security of the halls themselves." She scans Remalius' papers with a disapproving look. "The town of Pella was focused on recovering from its recent misfortune with excessive rain and the more recent loss of farmland due to the sudden appearance of the 'moonforest' you mentioned, from the last report. Given the Rains have made travel dangerous in the area, that is all the word that has been received since they began."

REmmie nods.
"Permission to help Pella is granted?" the orbs intone, the darks darkening to a dark forest green.

"While I am certain the forces stationed there are doing a perfectly acceptable job, so long as you do not impede their duties," the clerk fixes Remalius with a lofty look, "I am sure there will be no issue with your presence. Do as you will, so long as you abide by the law."

Remmie bobs his head.
"Acceptable. Will comply."
Remmie will stat to float for the door. Once outside, his orbs shift and alter,
assuming his verdant form.

Magiplasmic Moonform: Verdant- (Stance Ability, Weirdworker) Possessor obtains +1 base MIN and +2 base SPI, Possessor's minor negative status effect infliction chances are increased by 30%, possessor's moderate negative status effect infliction chances are increased by 20%, Possessor gains the elements Moon, Earth, and Wood, Possessor regenerates 200,000 HP at the start of each round if possessor possesses at least 5 Plant allies, Possessor's Plant and Spirit summons may gain the element Moon and, when summoned, may obtain a non-stacking buff that increases their minor negative status effect infliction chances by 25%



He'll start to float towards pella now, figuring that this form will hopefully avoid issues with teh rain. He's also attempting to avoid conflicts too.

Remalius exits the palatial gate complex to find the lands outside cast into dull twilight, heavy, dark-green clouds hanging low and swirling in slow, threatening patterns.

Shifting into his rather larger green moon-helix form, the spell-being promptly sets off along the road to the east. The roads seem to be rather empty, the occasional discarded item, broken piece of wood and other assorted detritus giving the impression that a large volume of traffic has come and gone in the recent past.
Further along the road, a segment of the tall hedgerow bordering the northern edge of the thoroughfare seems to have somehow been turned to stone and overgrown with thick tangles of vines that are in part similarly petrified, with some tendrils having been roughly severed, the frayed ends gleaming a dull gold. The rear half of a cow is sticking out of part of this entire mess, along with various small birds and other local wildlife, all apparently being in some distress.

Remmie's orbs dim for a second then brighten in his version of a blink. Distress is something that he does not like though, so he attempts to help free the creatures and the wildlife from the hedge of doom!

HE attempts to use the aura of dead seconds to age the hedge to dust, as the killborg works to remove the vines and stuff from the other animals.

After that, Onwards, although the killborg and remmie speed up, curious as to what sort of monster is terrorizing the wildlife!

Switching the Aura to active-mode, given Remalius' general lack of Auramancer abilities, results in an unfortunately indiscriminate mass-ageing of everything in the vicinity. Small animals expire almost instantly and crumble to dust, and the cow begins to wither on the spot. The non-petrified vines, on the other hand, begin thrashing wildly, partially-resisting the effect through being a weirldly agile example of plantlife.
The Killborg, on the other hand, puts a stop to it through some rather terminal pruning. Given the Killborg's usual level of subtlety, the result is a mass of mulch and dust where the hedgerow used to stand, a few elderly animals tottering away from the carnage.

Remalius gains XP for a Level 19 enemy.

Having solved the situation after a fashion, Remalius speeds along the road, fields blurring as he passes. Despite the heavily overcast sky draining colour from the surrounding lands, things are obviously more colourful than they were before in the surrounding farmland, clumps and clusters of strange plants and flowers having sprung up in patches and blankets all over the countryside. A long, erratic ridge of earth and stone appears to have also sprouted to the south since his last visit, too, vaguely following the same direction as the road.

A particularly vivid patch of blue grass seems to be attempting to invade the road some way further along, a small group of aloe-like plants with deep-blue spiked leaves sprouting among the strange growth. One in particular seems larger and more well-established than the others, a long, straight stalk sticking out of its centre, ending in a small, bulbous, fractal-spiked ball.

Remmie accks at the way its resolved. A mental note is made not to use it lke that.

THe killborg is sent in to mulch the blue plant, while remmie tries to use his magical powers ot pick up a sample to put into his bag of holding. MULCH BORG ACTIVATE!

The Killborg is sent in to pulp the plant. Fortunately, Remalius manages to grab the stalk before the rest is reduced to a fine mist.

Remalius gets:

Midnight Asphodel Stamen- (Weapon, Wand, Wood & Water, 20,000,000 Gold) +20,000 Magical Attack, +10,000 Melee Attack, +20,000 SPI, +20,000 MIN, May Heal, may remove up to three debuffs from target that were applied by sources below Level 60, said debuffs (to a maximum of 12) are 'stored' in this weapon and may be applied to target as part of a 'Magical Attack', 'Melee Attack', 'Melee Overdrive' or 'Overdrive' action

He equips it. He has a free slot.

ONWARDS!

New wand in tow, the orb-collection continues to wend his merry way in the direction of Pella, passing a side road with a new-looking sign proclaiming "Exga Village- Visitors Welcome".
The surrounding farmland certain seems to have been taking quite the turn for the peculiar. One field appears to have been overrun with a sharp, spiky-looking tangle of extremely thick brambles, several others have had large trees of unusual shape and colour spring up within their boundaries, and many more have splashes of odd colour and texture interrupting the usual crop growth.
One particularly notable tree Remalius notices as the terrain gives over to the ridge-and-cliff-filled plains that begin to mark the transition to his destination is bent over double in an upside-down U-shape, spindly branches filled with pale silver-yellow crescent-shaped leaves blowing fitfully in the breeze.

REmmie, noticing that Tree, stops and bobs. THe killborg is sent to mulchify any nearby fields of overgrowing weeds.

Meanwhile, remmie approaches the tree, in his Moon form.

He'll approach the Tree, carefully, then go to towards it. He radiates out
5000 xp of his mana, to see if the tree responds to it, trying to indicate to the tree he's a friend. A pair of dice then manifest from his magical energy, a pair of d20 , with all sorts of weird symbols on it, and tosses them, trying to divine , if anything, the tree is good for.
Predict Future with Dice- (Active Ability, Diviner) Possessor may spend an action to have a 50% chance of scanning a target's stats

The Killborg sets off to tear up the surrounding area.

Remalius approaches the tree and radiates mana! Nothing overtly changes in the tree, although something in its branches glitters slightly in response.
The moon-being then manifests a pair of insubstantial, magical-energy dice to divine the nature of the tree. While the unstable constructs vanish almost as soon as they hit the ground, he gets the name 'Crescent Jumblefruit Tree' for his efforts.

Remmie's orbs shine green in understanding . "Greetings Jumble Tree..." he intones out in a bell like greeting. Seeing the branches glitter, he approaches, an takes a look at what it could be that is shining. He will attempt to extract the glittering object, if he can, with a pair of magical energy hands. Assuming he gets the object, another 15,000 of moon mana is expelled into the tree, as a thank you.

The kilborg continues tearing up... errr.. helpfully clearing the fields for the farmers, and making alot of magical mulch too.

There isn't any farmland nearby- the terrain is ridges, cliffs and grassy plains. Or at least it was. Given the Killborg's complete focus on destruction and utter lack of farming capacity, it's only succeeding in tearing up large chunks of the surrounding area whilst occasionally exclaiming 'Kill!'. Unusual plantlife, trees and rocks alike are being reduced to rubble, splinters and useless shreds in its wake. Also being torn to pieces are some sort of sub-surface plant-creatures, which really aren't able to do anything to stop the overenthusiastic murderbot's rampage.

Remalius gets XP for 32 Level 15 entities.

Remalius picks the glittering object! It looks like some kind of smooth, silvery crescent moon-shaped fruit.

He gets:

Crescent Jumblefruit- (Permanent Consumable, Empowered Item, Physical & Psychic & Magic & Moon, 1 Charge, 50,000,000 Gold) Target willing PC gains the ability "Has Consumed a Crescent Jumblefruit"

Has Consumed a Crescent Jumblefruit- (Passive Ability, Permanent Item Effect) Possessor's per-item Magical Attack caps, Magical Attack, Mental Overdrive and Overdrive actions become based on AGI, possessor's per-item Ranged Attack caps, Ranged Attack and Point Blank actions become based on STR, possessor's per-item Melee Attack caps, Melee Attack and Melee Overdrive actions become based on SPI

The killborg is recalled. Remmie thanks the jumbletree with another 25k of mana from himself.

That done, unless something else glitters , in which case he'll pick that too, he continues onward!

Nothing else particularly glittery being forthcoming, Remalius continues his journey!

Things proceed fairly uneventfully for an hour or two. Remalius notes that the sides of the roads have been shored up with heavy wooden planks, presumably to deal with erosion from the earlier rainfall-curse. Eventually, the moon-being finds himself at the familiar fork in the road, one side snaking up a long ridge towards the two-tier town of Pella, its white stone buildings turned a dull greenish hue by the light filtering through the clouds. Heavy mists cloak the lower part of the town, as usual.

Decidedly unfamiliar, however, is the huge, green tower a way to the south along the road to Marefore. The towering edifice has elaborately-carved sides and beautifully vaulted windows and archways set into its walls, along with a mass of balconies, galleries and other architectural extravagances, many of them surrounded by or partially covered with a multitude of billowing green-white clouds. Its length vanishes into the mass of clouds above, preventing Remalius from gauging exactly how tall the thing is. The long, winding ridge of jagged earth the moon-spell-entity saw vaguely following the road to Pella ends abruptly at one of its sides.

[Modrageball]

remmie conjures up the dice and rolls them, trying to divine if the tower will impact his adopted town negatively. If so, onwards to the tower.

If not, Pella time. He will float in cautiously now. Hoping not to cause a stir this time.

The dice rattle and bounce erratically. Either there's going to be a catastrophe involving a cheese market in three day's time, or, more likely, this attempt was a failure.

He tries again.

Rattle, rattle, clonk.

The tower is utterly harmless and poses no threat whatsoever to the town or surrounding area. In fact, it may well be inclined to help.

Remmie bobs in approval. He shifts out of the stance, to resume his normal form and floats into town. He's looking for the old man, his friend Finn, the mura serpent, or Ella. First off, the shrine!

Remalius floats towards the town! What becomes immediately evident as he floats his way closer is that the town is rather... greener than when he last saw it. The town walls have collapsed in several places, plantlife growing through the cracks. Whereas before there were a few waterlogged trees dotted here and there in the place, parts of the town are now interrupted with small, tightly-packed areas of dense foliage in a variety of colours, the trees in some cases towering up to three times the size of the surrounding houses. Some sort of white-flowering vine with eye-bendingly vivid purple-edged petals has grown over and around most of the buildings and the external walls of the town, and what looks to be a group of gigantic, dark-green vines have grown up the waterfall, some sprouting huge leaves that have rediverted the flow of water into the surrounding streets, turning the nearby roads and some of the steep, narrow sets of stairs into small rivers and waterfalls in their own right.
The entire place appears deserted.

Remmie stops dead in its tracks. It bobs, its orbs turning yellow in confusion. It rises into the air and bellows out.
"HELLO IS ANYONE HERE?"

After 10 minutes, and if no response, it will head for the shrine. It is worried tha tit caused this. But then, didn't he mandate that the moon forest would nto spread. An anger is starting to spread as he realizes something is messing with the town he swore to protect.

Remalius floats into the town.

Things get... hazy.

Remalius find himself in a long, straight street lined with white-stone houses with red-tiled roofs. None of the houses seem to have doors, and their windows are glassless, square holes, each filled with a mass of thick foliage. The ground is a long carpet of bright green grass, dotted with colourful pockets of wildflowers. White-flowering vines with vividly-purple-edged petals grow up the walls and along the rooftops, filling the air with fragrance. The sky is a waving, shifting canopy of leaves as seen from above, as if a gigantic forest is suspended upside-down overhead. The quiet rushing of countless rustling leaves washes over the entire area, the only sound in an otherwise silent place.

Remalius rises into the air, skimming the rooftops and finding a vista of identical long, grassy streets populated with similar buildings extending in the same direction towards the horizon, as far as he can see.
His cry bounces oddly off and around the bizarre settlement, echoing in increasingly distorted tones at varying volumes. Shortly afterwards, a beam of misty-purple light shoots skywards from a street half a mile to the east.

At the same time, the feeling that has been nagging at Remalius for the past hour (hour? He can't have been here that long, surely. Could he?) finally clicks. The place is absolutely saturated in Dream mana.

Remmie's orbs flash a bit in suprirse. This is odd. He starts to float towards where that light came from, unsure what it is. If he gets a bad feeling, he'll attempt to suck all the dream mana into himself. This is a last resort if he feels it is theonly option.

he is also a dream shaper:


Apprentice Dream Synchronization- (Passive Ability, Dreamshaper) Possessor gains +50 to all stats for each Dream element item equipped, Possessor's Dream element pets and summons gain +250 to all stats
Basic Command of Dream- (Passive Ability, Other: Dreamshaper) Possessor's Dream element pets and summons gain +50 to all stats
Basic Dream Resistance- (Passive Ability, Other: Dreamshaper) Possessor gains 1% Dream Resistance
Basic Dream Synchronization- (Passive Ability, Dreamshaper) Possessor gains +25 to all stats if Dream element

Basic Weaponization of Dream- (Passive Ability, Other: Dreamshaper) Quantities of Dream element Damage dealt by possessor are increased by 50 points
Detect Dream- (Passive Ability, Dreamshaper) Possessor gains +1% To Hit against Dream element targets


He'll attempt to detect who'se dream this is, as well as trying to command it to let him pass.

Remalius flies over curiously-identical streets of grass and overgrown buildings, attempting to divine the nature of the area.
He comes to the somewhat frustrated conclusion that the place is either not being dreamed by anything in particular, or is far enough out of his range to prevent him from being able to figure out what it is. Similarly, his commands to the vicinity to let him pass have no effect whatsoever.

Presently, the moon-spirit crests the top of yet another vine-overgrown line of red-roofed houses to where the light presumably came from, coming orb-to-snout with an iridescent silvery serpent-dragon with treelike branch-antlers, a moon-helix symbol on its forehead and a mane of long, silver-green grass sitting in a cloud of colour-shifting mist. It makes a confused whistling sound.

A voice issues from somewhere within its coils. "WHAT the HELL is it NOW? Is it the shrimp again? I swear, if it's the shrimp AGAIN..."

Remmie bobs.
"Hello Mura. Fynn, is that you in there? It's Remmie."

he resumes his asterix form, his green orbs glowing happily. "What happened here?"

Mura's mane rustles as something makes its way up the sinuous dragon's neck.
A moment later, a small, very irate-looking bluish-white shorthair cat with bright blue whiskers and a fluffy tuft of red fur atop its head pops out from behind a tree-antler.
"THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!"

Remmie's orbs turn yellow in astonishment. He boobs uncertianly.
"Fynn? Is that you?" It boobles again and moves closer. "IF I had to guess, this is a dream world, maybe the spirit world? There is much dream mana here. Wasn't there a dreaming moon? And mura is a moon spirit now.... so maybe the seed rains did something?" he asks. "And where's Ella?"

The cat looks distinctly unhappy. "Of COURSE it's me. ...not that I blame you for asking. I'M not sure it's me half the time. First those clouds appear, then that weird tower comes out of NOWHERE, and then suddenly I'm a CAT and the town's THIS mess." The cat's ears flatten. "This better NOT have anything to do with the Dreaming Moon. If it does, we're all DEAD. Might have something to do with all those weird plants that started growing, but the guards were supposed to handle them, along with the old man and Ella..." Finn-the-cat trails off.
"...I don't know where she is. Last I heard, she was going to meet with the old man to do something, and then everything went all WEIRD and suddenly I'm THIS." He waves a paw for emphasis, then plants it firmly on the serpent-dragon's head.
"Meanwhile, THIS guy is just FINE."

Mura makes an apologetic whistling noise.

Remmie hmmmms at this and it bobs .

"Guards? Any spirit tamers... plants? From teh seed rains? What about the moon forest? I think i made it go into the spirit realm, to expand...." Remmie emits at this.
"I suppose, we could go look for her...."

The cat snorts. "Spirit Tamers? They're all still in their city doing whatever it is they've been doing for months. Least, that's what I heard. Probably don't even CARE about us down here." Finn paces around on the dragon-spirit's head. "Look, the plants all came from the sky. There was a weird rain of seeds and suddenly POW, plants growing everywhere, and then I'm a cat. The weird forest had nothing to do with it. Probably."
Despite the limits of the feline face, Finn scowls. "And I've been TRYING to find Ella ever since I got here. Everything's the SAME, though. I can't tell if we're going in circles or even moving at all!"

REmmies orbs pale, then he bobs. "I... there is alot of dream mana here. I... coudl try to suck it all into me.. a reverse of what i did to mura... or.. i could try to channel it into you....." remmie admits, worry in his voice. "IF you wish me to try... I will, to find Ella."

He blinks.
"However, i have a better idea."

HE focuseson Finn, and then sends:
1,000,000 xp worth of dream and moon mana into Finn.
he is focusingthe mana dump with the blessing of hte verdant moon, ancient magics, dream magics and his enchantment.

Remalius makes his statement, followed by his uncertain-sounding offer of channeling the essence of the strange place directly into Finn.
"Wait, wha-" Finn begins to object.
Then Remalius does it anyway.

Remalius focuses the Dream Mana through himself, mixing and reflavouring it with his own Moon Mana. He succeeds in gathering up a seriously large amount of the stuff, pushing it through the focus of his connection to the currently-extremely-potent Verdant Moon holding sway over the area, his ability to make things applied with Moon Magic stick, his knowledge of Dream and what little he knows of Enchantment.
The ball of swirling mana-energy is then blasted directly into the small cat before him.

To say things don't go to plan would be assuming Remalius had approached the situation with any idea other than 'try to drain all of the area's mana into a Dream-shaped-and-altered-human' without having given much apparent thought to what this might do to its target.
His ability at Channeling is not great enough to drag the required XP from his surroundings, instead forcing it to come through him.
Moon's propensity for vexatiously sticking to things, combined with the tie to the dominant moon of the season, the use of an ability that explicitly changes one's form, the use of Dream in a Dream-world-like area and Remalius' inexpert knowledge of enchantment letting the place run away with the details, combined with a pinch of legend granted by his attempt to work Ancient Magic into the mix and enough magical know-how to at least make the original effect (directionless as it was) stable combine with Finn's connection to Felimber, his being caught utterly off-guard at Remalius' snap decision and Mura's focus being directed on battling the place's indirect warping from sending its master back into a non-lucid autopilot state.
As dreams tend to, the result takes on something of a life of its own.

The mana sweeps into the cat-Finn, enveloping him in a swirling ball of multicoloured mist and whirling leaves which tumbles slowly off Mura's head and drifts groundwards. Shortly after its descent, the interior begins to contract and glow with brilliant light, forming a vaguely cat-shaped light-silhouette.
The shape immediately begins to grow in size, altering in form and focus, filling out in bulk until it reaches roughly human proportions, whereupon the blinding light fades into nothingness, revealing Finn.

Well, mostly Finn.

Last time Remalius saw him, he certainly didn't have bright blue cat-eyes. Or cat ears with white-moss fur. He didn't have patches of white moss-fur on the rest of his body last time, either, and he most definitely didn't have some sort of white-moss cat-satyr thing going on with his lower body, complete with tail.
He was also rather more clothed when last they met.

Remalius loses 1,000,000 XP.
Remalius gains 1 Fame.
Remalius gains 'Acidentally Turned Finn Fein into an Aptim' (Mod Run World Award)

Finn looks at himself in a state of absolute shock.

Mura's serpentine neck whips around in alarm to see what has befallen its master.

A building to the right of the group erupts in a blast of misty-purple energy, leaves and rubble with a curious bell-like tone. In its place is revealed a strange, torn hole in space opening out into a sunny version of Pella with ornate shrines on every rooftop, a rather preturbed-looking dark-haired young man with a short beard in grey exorcist's robes standing at its fore, large ceramic alcohol bottle in one hand and a short rod with a tree-like arragnement of bells atop it in the other.
"Well, this is certainly unexpected, hm? What might be going on here?"

Remmie's orb turn bright pink.
"OOohhhh.. that's unexcepted."

If remmie's danger sense is tingling, he'll impose himself between Finn and Teh newcomer. If not, he bobs in midair.
"Trying to see if could alter this dream, or power him up. It.... seems to have worked. He has a better connection to this place then I do. Although... . . . . "
He blinks, not knowing what he just did, well, not knowing about Aptim.
Remmie readies an ancient seal of moonlight to blast if anyhtign befalls finn or him or mura.
"MAy I ask your name?"

Ancient Seal of Moonlight- (Spell, Ritual Magic, Moon & Light, 240,000 MP, 12,500,000 Gold) +12,500 Magical Attack, 50% targets below Level 40 gain a debuff that makes it so that they cannot act, with all things that would occur before and after actions skipped due to such still occurring, does not stack

The young exorcist studies Remalius for a moment, turns his gaze to Finn and does an impressive double-take.
"Good heavens, is that you, Finn? I've certainly come to understand this place can change oneself, but to transform a human into one of the Aptim is considerably more severe than I would have expected of it, hm?"

Finn attempts to say something, but his state of shock appears to be preventing any words from coming out.

"Not to worry, not to worry, my boy. I'm certain once we get to the bottom of whatever happens to be the cause of this state of affairs that things will be set back to how they should, you see?" Stowing the bell-tree-instrument under one arm, the exorcist turns back to Remalius, using his free hand to scratch his beard.
"Calling it a dream would be somewhat accurate, I suppose, but then again not quite accurate enough, you see? But I'm afraid I'm rather digressing from the concerns at hand. I am Eji Expio, resident exorcist of Pella, or whatever remains of it given the situation presently underway. Given you appear to be a spirit more interested in conversation than conflict, perhaps you would do me the courtesy of telling me the name you go by, hm?"
Eji glances at Finn again.
"Followed by explaining what, precisely, you have done to the poor boy here and what your part in the present state of affairs is. You would do well to respond honestly, as I'm rather afraid my patience has been somewhat tried of late, you see?"

[Modrageball]

Remaliu's orbs bob and he shrinks out of his moon form stance.
"Eji.. I'm glad to see you. It's me Remalius. And err.. I was trying to power up Finn, to give him some control over this dream. It.... seems to have worked.. a little. And what's wrong with an Aptim? Where i come from, new forms and power is go... Ohhhh... this is a different place, isn't it..."

He blinks. "Wait, where's Ella...."

"Oh, and as for what i did? I infused mana into him. PArt of what made mura what he is now.."

he summosn up a dice to use on finn,

Predict Future with Dice- (Active Ability, Diviner) Possessor may spend an action to have a 50% chance of scanning a target's stats


trying to scan finn and then eji.

"Remalius? I should be glad the previous saviour of the town has come to rectify matters, but..." The younger version of Eji tugs at a tuft of beard, a look of concern on his face.
"The problem with being an Aptim is that they are the rather unnatural result of an ancient spirit's malign efforts to transform humanity into its own personal servants, beings that are themselves half-spirit, you see? Given spirits are, at best, self-interested entities that require pacification or control through careful diplomacy, bribery or binding and, rather more frequently, at worst outright hostile towards humankind, to say that things of their ilk are ill-favoured by the general population would be something of a great understatement, hm?"
The exorcist gestures sadly to Finn, who is presently holding his tail and tugging at it as if to see if it will come off.
"Aptim are given a similarly dim view, being pitied as spirit-cursed humans at best, or seen as inhuman creatures fallen to spiritual corruption and frequently treated as all but criminal miscreants. Not to say such things are true, of course, but when opinion flows so strongly in such ways, I'm rather afraid those it focuses on get swept in that direction, you see. Those that are able to find a place in society generally occupy the very lowest rungs of it, and those that have any sort of notable spiritual power frequently become bandits, vagabonds, or are taken by the Houses of the Order as servants." A hand tugs at his beard again. "Servants of the regrettably non-voluntary variety, you see?"

The young man undoes a sash and removes his outer robe, placing it over the shellshocked moss-cat-satyr's shoulders. "If I'm correct, however, this will prove to be some sort of spirit-created dream-world, so removing the spirit in question should undo the changes that may have affected the bodies of those within it, hm? As for the girl, from what I can tell from my own experience and crossing over to this place, it seems to be separating people into small groups or individual members and trapping them in different dreams. Had a similar experience with a rather persistant spirit in my youth, you see?" Eji taps the ceramic bottle against his leg thoughtfully. "Albeit rather less expansive than whatever's behind this, hm?"

Remalius summons up dice! He can't seem to make any sense of what they're rolling.

Remalouis hmmms.

"Well, I am unsure if i can fix Finn. But I do know some people in the arena who migth be able to help."

He frowns a bit.
"Anyway, is there anything i can do to help? I do not want to make things worse than I have."

He brightens then and turns to fynn.

"Fynn.. see if you can control the dream. You migth have some powers of this realm now. If you can help us...."

Finn, exorcist-robe clutched tightly around him, breaks out of his shocked daze to shoot Remalius a look of absolute fury.
"I-- You-- You do THIS to me, WITHOUT asking, after-- after everything ELSE you've done to me, and now YOU want ME to do something for YOU?!"

Eji clears his throat, stepping between the two. "Erhem. I believe it would be prudent to leave the poor boy be for now, given what he's just gone through, hm? Perhaps we should be looking to our surroundings to find some clue as to what, or where, the spirit causing this might be. Perhaps there's some similarities to be found between this area and the dream in which I found myself, eh? Or perhaps we might find passage to another place in order to rescue more of the townsfolk."
The exorcist begins peering at the strange long, grassy street the group presently occupies.

Remmie's orbs turn pink at Finn's accusal.
"Fynn, I'm sorry. I was trying to turn you human again from taht cat. I... don't know what to do now.. I want ot help, but I unfortuantely seem to make things worse at times." He admits honestly.

Finn looks as if he's about to say something, decides otherwise, and instead turns and stomps off to one of the odd, foliage-filled buildings, sitting down heavily against it.

Remmi sighs at this and turns to Eji.
"What can we do? I... don't know what ot do now. "

He sighs, trying to let his magical senses reach out, trying to notice or feel the dream world, trying to sense what the dreamer wants.

Remalius attempts to attune his senses to the dreamworld in order to better understand it, spreading out his senses in an attempt to cover the (apparently endless) array of straight, grassy streets bordered by the skeletons of houses filled with foliage.
He is unable to get a feel for what the force behind it (if indeed there is one) wants. He does, however, register Eji's blasted-open hole to the strange, shrine-strewn sunny Pella as a peculiarity in the 'feel' of the dream, much like an open door in an empty room. Similarly, he has become sufficiently accustomed to the overwhelming presence of Dream mana to notice that the walls and rooftops of the houses seem to house the greatest concentrations of it, particularly where the white-flowering vines with vivid purple-edged petals are growing.

Remmie hmmms. He starts to float ot the tops and examines the flowers adn the vines. He gives it a poke with a mage hand then frowns. HE starts to study the flowers.

Remalius floats to the top of one of the houses and examines the various vines and gives them a poke, prompting no unusual response whatsoever.

While he doesn't have any skills in botany, he's learned enough to figure that all the vines and plants that he can see seem to be connected to one another (as is the case with many trailing vine-like plants) and growing mostly in a single direction, most probably coming from further down one of the streets.

He also notices that the hole young-Eji broke in the dreamscape seems to have vines growing into it as if they were always there.

Remmie hmmms at this. he starts to float down the street , back tracking the vines. he does boom to eji.

''i'm checking something out. please keep fynn safe.''

Remalius floats down the grassy road, back-tracking the vines. He picks out a few places where the vines seem to grow into or between the houses in strange fashions, vanishing from view as if folding into thin air.

He manages to follow the vines back along the endless rows of buildings, tracking where they travel below the ground in order to spread to other streets, flying over rows of rooftops in his hunt. About half an hour later, he finds that while the endless rows of straight streets still look identical, he thinks that the vines are getting noticably thicker as he goes. Is Remalius continuing?

He is continuing. He is going full Mono orb again, trying to show that he is a friend of hte moons.

Remalius floats further, the vines running together, thickening as they do and eventually becoming as large as tree trunks. Still further the spell-moon-genie-thing goes, and suddenly the endless rows of houses fall away in front of him, revealing a huge crater, radiating trunk-thick and bark-covered vines, covered here and there with clouds of the eye-bendingly vivid purple-edged petals and deep-green leaves.
The centre of the mass is completely obscured by one such cloud of foliage, further branches jutting from it.

Remmie's orbs bob. TRying an old tactic, he casts
Ancient Wind- (Spell, Other: Ancient Magic, Air, 24,000 MP, 12,500,000 Gold) +12,500 Magical Attack, All buffs and debuffs with target as a source are removed if target is below Level 40, All buffs present on target with sources below Level 40 are removed if target is below Level 40, All of target's summons are unsummoned if target is below Level 40 and if said summons are below Level 40 (as well as those summons' summons and all future generations of summons, provided that all are below Level 40)

trying to blow the cloud away, hoping to reveal the center of mass.

Remalius casts Ancient Wind! The spell blows forth in an... interesting manner. Seems to be more of an Ancient Breeze than Ancient Wind. The mass of leaves and petals shifts and sways, billowing clouds of the vivid blossoms filling the air, but doesn't seem to move from its current position.

The endless rows of houses surrounding the crater momentarily blur out of focus before abruptly snapping back to normal. Remalius is, by now, certain this plant is the cause of this strange dream-realm, further cottons on to the fact that it's likely holding the various sentient inhabitants that its physical-world form encountered in separate pocket-dreams tied together by its vines, and thinks he may have temporarily disrupted whatever it is that was going on here, but not for long enough to allow him to capitalise on anything.

The crater is presently filled with flying petals. Remalius is still at its rim.

remalius casts again, using:

Ancient Seal of Moonlight- (Spell, Ritual Magic, Moon & Light, 240,000 MP, 12,500,000 Gold) +12,500 Magical Attack, 50% targets below Level 40 gain a debuff that makes it so that they cannot act, with all things that would occur before and after actions skipped due to such still occurring, does not stack

on it, trying to seal it away for now. if the killborg is with him, it will us:
Kill! Kill! Kill!- 12,000 Damage, This attack deals 1.5 times extra damage (to a max of 1,000,000 extra) if at least 5 weaknesses are hit by it, Any combination of base elements, 0 MP
, on the plant.

Remalius is using all his power to make the stick, trying to adapt Maximal Casting- (Technique Ability, Wizard) Possessor may use Maximal Casting in conjunction with a 'Magical Attack' action involving a Wizard Magic spell, so long as no other technique is used and possessor has a Wizard Magic Spell equipped. Said attack's random stat multiplier is maximized, and possessor's Max MP is reduced by 50% for the remainder of the thread.
for use with teh ancient seal!

A few clarifications, first. Are Remalius and the killborg going into the crater/closer to the centre of the plant to attack it, and what element(s) is the Killborg using?

The killborg is going into the center. IT's using fire!

remmalius will be staying outside of the center.

Remalius calls upon a shimmering seal of moonlight to slam into the centre of the plant! This raised further clouds of leaves and petals, but otherwise doesn't obviously seem to do much.

The Killborg rolls on in, burning everything it comes across! It successfully flamethrowers two trunk-thick vines and sets on them with red-hot-glowing chainsaws that spit molten metal, sawing through them, before rolling on into the cascading cloudbank of petals and leaves and vanishing from sight.
The two vines that were sawed through collapse in on themselves from the cut outwards into a mass of dead petals and crumbling leaves, the decay rapidly travelling along their length towards the endless housing-rows. The resultant piles of dead foliage further crumble into dust and vanish shortly afterwards.

[Modrageball]

Remmie gets the idea. He casts ancient wind again, only this time, instead of air, a firestorm comes, his diamond flashing bright red.


Thousand-Colored Diamond- (Accessory, Crystal, Earth & Air & Fire & Water & Light & Darkness & Magic & Technology & Ice & Energy & Electrical & Acid, 10,000,000 Gold) +2,000 Magical Attack, +20,000 MP, Wielder's 'Magical Attack' actions may become solely any one base element

Ancient Wind- (Spell, Other: Ancient Magic, Air, 24,000 MP, 12,500,000 Gold) +12,500 Magical Attack, All buffs and debuffs with target as a source are removed if target is below Level 40, All buffs present on target with sources below Level 40 are removed if target is below Level 40, All of target's summons are unsummoned if target is below Level 40 and if said summons are below Level 40 (as well as those summons' summons and all future generations of summons, provided that all are below Level 40)

fire element!

Remalius once again calls upon ancient magics, this time altering it into a searing desert wind tinged with flame! Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be getting quite as much oomph behind it as he would like, although he does manage to somewhat-clear a route further into the crater as falling petals dry up and turn to crisps under the assault.

REmalius takes a moment to infuse his spell of moonlight with fire
Infuse Spell Essence- (Active Ability, Enchanter) Possessor may spend an action to change the element of a Spell that is in possessor's possession to gain Magic in addition to its other elements, provided that said Spell is not any non-base element
Infuse Spell Essence: Air- (Passive Ability, Enchanter) Possessor's 'Infuse Spell Essence' actions may add the element Air to a spell instead of Magic
Infuse Spell Essence: Earth- (Passive Ability, Enchanter) Possessor's 'Infuse Spell Essence' actions may add the element Earth to a spell instead of Magic
Infuse Spell Essence: Essence Replacement (Passive Ability, Enchanter) Possessor's 'Infuse Spell Essence' actions replace the elements of the Spell they are targetting instead of merely adding new elements
Infuse Spell Essence: Fire- (Passive Ability, Enchanter) Possessor's 'Infuse Spell Essence' actions may add the element Fire to a spell instead of Magic

replicing the element with fire!

Then he snarls and casts an overdriven FIRE ELEMENT seal of moonlight, his orbs glowing an angry rED!

Ancient Seal of Moonlight- (Spell, Ritual Magic, Moon & Light, 240,000 MP, 12,500,000 Gold) +12,500 Magical Attack, 50% targets below Level 40 gain a debuff that makes it so that they cannot act, with all things that would occur before and after actions skipped due to such still occurring, does not stack

The Ancient Magic is flipped from Moon and Light to purely Fire element. Calling upon the last of his remaining reserves of MP, Remalius channels all of his power into casting a purely-flaming incarnation of the spell.

While he certainly has the power for it, his finesse leaves something to be desired.

The shimmering, circular form of the Ancient Seal cuts itself into the air above the crater with lines of fire, erratically wavering and shifting as the spell battles to hold itself together. The burning seal drops into the plant, turning the petal-storm into a sheet of fire, destabilising and hitting the central mass of foliage as a large fireball.

Despite the spell's less-than-stellar casting, Remalius has managed to do away with the mass of petals and has set parts of the crater on fire, although he's not sure if they'll spread or just burn themselves out eventually.

REmalius gulps, trying ot let his 2 Essence Spark of Mana- (Accessory, Other: Mystic Infusion, Magic, 1,000,000 Gold) Wielder regenerates 10,000 MP per round, +10,000 MP
work to restore him. He keeps an eye out, looking to see if hte other vines are dying.

Remalius waits and watches while his Sparks slowly begin to restore his magical reserves. The fires continue to burn, although due to the thickness of the vines and the plant's living status, don't seem to be doing much more than charring the outsides of it. Several of the masses of leaves and flowers begin to char and wither in the heat, however.

From his vantage point, Remalis thinks he can 'see' the area where the Killborg vanished. He thinks it might have fallen into one of the pocket-dreams created by the plant.

as soon as his MP is restored enough, he hits it again with the seal of moonlight turned fire ball. Hopefully this will work this time. An overdriven one.

Remalius waits. And waits. And waits, until he has enough magic to repeat his performance, this time managing to create a significantly-more-controlled version of the spell, blasting the plant-crater with further flames! His MP is once again down to nothing.
The rest of the leaves and flowers begin to burst into flame and char away. The fire still doesn't seem to be spreading that much along the vine-trunks, but the spell-genie can at least see what all of the foliage was covering.

Most of the clouds of foliage were supported by smaller branches that forked into complicated systems of ever-smaller twigs, the majority of which are burning away. The central part, however, is more akin to a sea urchin- a large, spherical mass of trunks and roots, radiating a multitude of branches and fractal twigs.

REmmie snarls and starts to try to send a beam of magic into the plant folagiage mass, connecting himself to it as he moves into the verdant moon orb form. His vampire cloak flares with power as he attempts to DRAIN the power, life and mana from the plant thing, trying to spihon its power from it to him!

Remalius, magically spent though he is, attempts to magically connect himself to the plant with the intention of draining its power.
He succeeds in connecting himself to the plant.

Everything goes fuzzy.





Remalius finds himself back in Nexus- the top disc of Town, from the looks of it. He's sure he's been along this road when going to and from the Arena before, in any case. He's presently in the middle of a wide, stone-paved road, in moon-orb form, with a large variety of typically diverse and esoteric pedestrians walking, rolling, floating and otherwise perambulating around him. The buildings are all three-storey affairs made of light stone, several of them being shops, with the occasional residential building or block of flats in between, all of which have large windows and a multitude of flowerboxes.
A café takes up a large chunk of the road near where the spell-moon-ball-genie floats, its tables and chairs in the open-air section filled with customers, all of whom appear to be eating cakes of some description and drinking steaming beverages. A bakery next door is similarly doing a roaring trade, a white-aproned baker carrying a tray piled high with more cakes from it into the café's interior.
A bookshop, electronics store, greengrocer, florist, hair salon, 'Aeryth Vyxx's Magical Resynchronisation Spa And Grill', a sort of travel agency specialising entirely in holidays inside whales and a shop with a sign made of signs about signs are also in Remalius' immediate vicinity.

Remmie gets the feeling its a dream. HE'll try to see if he can take control of the dream using his ableit limited powers.

Is Remalius trying to do anything in particular?

he's going to try to WAKE UP.

Remalius attempts to force himself to wake up!

...

...He feels pretty awake, though. Nothing seems to be coming of his attempts.

he;ll attempt to cast:
Ancient Balm- (Spell, Other: Ancient Magic, Water, 24,000 MP, 12,500,000 Gold) +12,500 Magical Attack, Heals HP, All debuffs and negative status effects present on target that come from sources below Level 40 are removed, Target may not acquire debuffs or negative status effects from sources below Level 40 for the next 5 rounds, does not stack

on himself, hoping that this will work to undo the effects of it!

Remalius once again drains his MP that his labouring Sparks have managed to just restore to 0 in order to fuel the spell, restoring himself to full health.
Nothing obvious happens, besides a passing swordswoman bumping into a penguin in a tophat and getting into a brief argument with it.

He'll go to look at the swordsman, something telling him to check it out. Hopefulyl his killborg is still attacking that plant in the real world. He'll then go to look at the sign shop.

The swordswoman and penguin have, by now, stopped arguing and decided to go on their way, although neither seem to be particularly happy. The swordswoman herself has bright red hair pulled into a bun, silver knightly armour, and a large, blue-metal claymore strapped to her back.

The sign shop (which, now that Remalius takes a closer look at it, is in fact made of stone blocks carved into signs of signs of signs) is selling signs. All kinds of signs! Traffic signs of both normal and esoteric variety! Road signs! Town signs! Shop signs! Mathematical signs! Floating hands that gesture in sign language! Autonomous pens! A tiny cloud that rains frogs! A two-headed goat! A sea running red as blood (inside a snowglobe the size of a baseball that nonetheless contains the entire thing)! Even more besides!

Manning a counter made of signs of signs with counters on them is a large sign with a "$" on it.

Remmie hmmms at htis. He'll start to comb the area, trying to figure something out. He'll attempt to shift out of the moon orb form. Trying to remember or guess how he can break the connecction to theplant.

Remalius begins to examine the area more carefully. It really does look rather like that Nexus street he's sure he's been down before, down to the bizarre mix of residents and eclectic takes on 'normal' shops.
The flowerboxes, looking at them more closely, seem to contain rather a lot of vivid-purple-edged white flowers, rather than the mixture one would expect, however. The florist's window-displays (and presumably shelves further inside) also contain rather a lot of small shrubs with similar flowers.

[Modrageball]

Remmie's turns darken as he starts to examine those flowers, trying to probe them with his magic, to see how they feel adn taste to his magical senses. He wants to be sure of his supisicion before he unleashed fire

From Remalius' brief examination of the flowers, he concludes that they're rather similar to the ones of the vine-plant he had encountered previously.

What's Rremalius's mp at?

Reamlius, assumign his mp is sufficently revcovered, will attempt ot cast the fire ancient seal on teh flowers again, trying to burn it down!

Remalius presently has enough MP to cast Ancient Seal once. This is not the only issue, however.
The spell itself is designed to hit a single target, and there are rather a lot of flowerboxes in the windows of buildings that are multiple stories tall, on both sides of the rather large street, to say nothing of the florist's.

What's he planning to do given this information?

Remmie ors suddenyl turn bright pink as he realizes something. A camera flaots out and he starts to take pictures, alot, looking athe polaroids that develop!


Spirit-Sealing Camera- (Weaponx2, Deadly Item, Light & Magic, 1,114,000 Gold) +2,550 Ranged Attack, +2,110 Magical Attack, +1,570 SPI, Possessor's Ranged Attacks use Spirit as their prime attribute, 15% inflicts Blind, Deals 110 SPI damage on hit, Ignores 'Fully Disembodied', Deals 1.3 times normal damage to Undead and Spirits, to a max of 1,000,000 additional damage as a non-stacking effect, wielder gains 40% Critical against Undead and Spirits

is taken out and used. All over those flowers!

Question: Is Remalius actively attacking with the camera?

yes

Remalius begins taking pictures, using the camera's offensive capabilities to project flash-blasts of magical power! The result isn't quite as he was possibly expecting. Instead of sealing the blooms inside photographs, the flowers end up getting shredded by the attack, much like any other ordinary flower would. The flowerboxes are becoming rather a mess.

A steady stream of photographs are dutifully spat out of the camera as he goes.

Remalius gets:

52 Photograph of Somnidus Blossoms- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Air & Dream, 12,000 Gold)

He's 'photographed' a considerable chunk of one side of the street's flowerboxes (although rather a lot more remain, and the florist's hasn't been approached yet). A small crowd is gathering below in response to the odd orb-collection-thing's apparent rampage against the street's floral decoration. Is he continuing?

Remalius.. hmmmms. He'll in fact continue! He moves onto the florists! muttering about ghosts int eh flowers! trying to come up with a BA Nexus plasuaible excuse!

Remalius descends into the florist's ('Flowers All Hours'), furiously muttering about ghosts inside the flowers all the while.

The shop is quite spacious, the inside being several floors knocked into one, with galleries running around the walls at each level. As one would expect, it contains a lot of flowers in many different varieties, although the most common by far are the purple-edged white-flowering shrubs. A small garden has been set up in the centre of the shop, displaying more treelike variations of the plant amidst banks of other varieties of flower and small evergreen trees.

"Afternoon!"
The florist behind the counter is a smiley man of medium height with brown hair, a green apron, and a flowerpot on his head worn as a hat.
"Welcome to Flowers All Hours! Is there something you're looking--"
The smile abruptly vanishes as Remalius begins blasting his shelving displays with magic.
"H-Hey! Stop that right now, you hear? You'll have to pay for those, and you're going to have to leave if you're going to act like that!"

Is anything happening with teh pictures? his reposnse depends on what it shows.

REmmie puases. "errr, was looking for teh flower ghosts. " He blinks and looks at it and hgmmms. "I can pay. I dont' suppose you know about flowers that trap people in dreams?"

Remalius has gained three more of those photographs. They haven't changed from when he took them.

The man's expression takes a turn for the incredulous.
"Flower ghosts? Dream-trapping flowers? We've got nothing like that around here, and even if we did you don't just go barging into someone's shop and wrecking the merchandise! Now, you'd best pay up and get out, or I'm going to have to call in security, you hear?"

Remmie sighs. "How much?" he asks, flipping a coin into the air. he attemps to also use
Reveal General Form- (Spell, Wizard Magic, Light & Air, 70,000 Gold) Target loses all Dodge-bonus-prodviding or Dodge-providing buffs from sources below Level 18


on the shop and the florist.

"With all this mess? Fifty thousand and we'll call it even, but you'll have to-- what in the hey are you doing?"

The spell does exactly what it suggests, as it outlines the florist in a vibrant glow. The shop's walls begin glowing as Remalius targets them, with the effect letting him see that it also has a storeroom behind the back wall and a basement.

The florist seems distinctly unimpressed by this, and presses a large button by his till. Panels between the flower-shelves slide back, and six semi-humanoid robots on wheels with gardening implements for 'hands' trundle out of the walls.

"You're going to need to pay up now and leave, you hear? I won't be having any more of this vandalism in my store."

remmie sighs and hands ove the 50k.


He'll leave. once outside he casts:
Open Gate to Dream Realm- (Spell, Gate Magic, Magic, 5,000 MP, 2,000,000 Gold) Has RP effects, Permits escape from random quests at the start of the round after it is cast


hoping that idea works.

Remalius pays the unhappy shopkeeper, leaves, makes his way through the crowd of onlookers, and casts a spell!
A shimmering gateway to a rather familiar-looking crater unfolds from mid-air.

He'll step through!

Remalius steps through!

He finds himself, once again, in the trunk-vine-strewn crater, floating midway between the edge and the central vineball. Parts of the area are still moderately aflame, and the air is currently filled with drifting ashes.

[Modrageball]

Remmie chimes in victory. The camera comes out and starts snappng again, aiming at the spirit plant, or where it should be!

Remalius takes out his camera and takes a photo! The resulting magical blast hits the central vine-ball in a small puff of splinters.

Remalius gets:

Photograph of Giant Somnidus Vineheart- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Air & Dream, 50,000 Gold)

The thing is evidently still there. Perhaps it's not a spirit.

remmie sighs. He'll start to hit hte vine with multiple blasts of magic, moon elemental.

Remalius begins leveling blast after blast of magic at the vine. It's slow going at first, as the moon-genie-spell-thing hits random parts of the central vineball, but he eventually finds that focusing on the trunk-vines radiating out of the central mass is far more effective. Blasting through a vine makes the rest of it rapidly decay into dead petals and dust, much as the ones the Killborg blasted did, and destroying enough neighbouring vines cause the houses visible over the rim of the crater to flicker and waver in and out of view.

Having gotten into the swing of things, Remalius continues around the central vineball, blasting trunk after trunk asunder, scattering the vines to ash and further destabilishing the visible houses. Partway through his terminal pruning session, the Killborg pops back into being, having apparently been freed from wherever it was when Remalius destroyed the vines near where it vanished.

As Remalius destroys the final vine growing into the crater from the centre, the by-now-seriously-distorted houses visible from his location vanish into nothingness. The rippling sky of leaves seems to descend, making the crater feel curiously claustrophobic.

Remalius and the Killborg are left facing the central vineball in the middle of an otherwise empty, dust-blown crater.

Remalius gets:

Pruning Spell- (Technique Ability, Botanist) Possessor may use 'Pruning Spell' in conjunction with a 'Magical Attack' or 'Cast a Spell' action, so long as no other technique is used. Said action deals 110% Damage to Plants, to a maximum of 1,000,000 additional damage

Reamlius hhhhmmmms at this. &e'll try to backtrack his way to eji, totally unsure what to do now.

Remalius heads back up to the rim of the crater!
Where there were once endless rows of houses filled with foliage, there is now nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Remalius' vision goes fuzzy for a moment.

He finds himself floating on the opposite side of the crater, facing the ball of vines at the bottom.

Remmie blinks, unsure what happened. &e'll start to attack the vineball again, using the pruning spell. hopefully this one isnot a dream.

Remalius finishes what he started, raining blast after plant-strimming blast down upon the vineball. Layer after layer of trunk-thick vines are stripped off the knotted mass, falling to dust as they detach. Eventually, Remalius reaches the core of the thing, blasting the green, sap-filled central knot of fibrous tendrils from its position atop the roots, which immediately wither to nothingness.

The world around Remalius swirls, judders, and swoops in on itself, collapsing and draining through the hole left by the absent taproot. Everything goes fuzzy.

Remalius comes to his senses in what was presumably once a small park, now flooded under a foot of water and overgrown with a riotous variety of varicoloured and oddly-shaped plantlife. Thick trees thrust from below the murky pool, blotting out the sky and obscuring the area beyond, except for an overgrown stretch of wall here or a tangled railing there. A fibrous mass of green roots the size of a basketball bobs gently on the water's surface.

Sounds of alarm and general confusion echo from outside.

Remalius gets:
100,000 XP
1 Fame
"Rescued the Residents of Pella from a Giant Somnidus Vine's Dream-Worlds (Mod Run World Award)"

Remmie blinks and floats on outside, hoping to see aht's goipng on. He's taking on his nromal form, hoping he will be recongized.


He'll first pick up the rootball though.

Remalius gets:

Giant Somnidus Vineheart Core- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Air & Dream, 50,000,000 Gold)

He floats up and away from the trees, to see... not much. It seems that during Remalius' time in the dream-world, it has become night in the real world- an extremely dark one at that, with no moon or stars visible. Presumably the thick clouds are obscuring any light that would otherwise filter through.

The occasional light can be seen winking in and out of sight, often vanishing behind some obstacle or other as the shouts and yells continue. The rushing of Pella's waterfall sounds rather louder than it would otherwise- likely due to the giant leaves he saw on entering the town earlier redirecting some of its flow to the streets beyond.

He will hurry on towards the shouts, shifting up to moon orb form and trying to float/rise into the air. Trying to look imposing in case he needs to protect someone.

Remalius hurries towards one of the sources of the shouting, shifting back into his moon-orb form and attempting to be as imposing as possible.

This does absolutely nothing to reassure the group of townsfolk presently attempting to build a makeshift dam to redivert the flood of water from the main road, causing many of them to drop the various pieces of furniture and wood they were carrying and flee as fast as the rapid flow of water allows. Two of them get swept off their feet as a result, and get washed away down the road, which has turned into something akin to a curvy white-water ride.

Remalius' Time-Eating Aura... spanks? into full power. This doesn't do too much, as the water itself isn't exactly an opposing entity, per se, but by lowering himself towards the rushing torrent he's able to get it slowed enough to fire up a slightly-altered Ancient Seal of Moonlight that won't be washed away.
The familiar glimmering sigils coalesce into a shining barrier of moonlight that the spell-genie successfully places in the path of the rush of water, managing to push it all the way back to the edge of the bridge and forcing it to plunge into the waterfall basin instead. Remalius thinks it will hold for a few hours, at least, which should give enough time to deal with the giant leaves that are causing the problem in the first place.
The main road is now considerably less treacherous to navigate... at least in this part of the town.

Remmie will take to the air. TRying ot use his newfound ability for pruning to go leaf hunting and prunning.

Remalius sets off into the air once more! The most obvious leaf-releated problems are coming from the waterfall, where giant stalks have grown up from its basin, and huge, waxy leaves the size of houses have sprouted, weathering the crushing torrent with barely more than a slight bobbing movement and causing water to cascade off them and onto the walkways and roads below. Thanks to Remalius' seal, the water is no longer flowing down the main road on the eastern side of the bridge below the waterfall, but the western side is still a hazardous mass of rivers and falls in its own right, the steep stairways, walkways and side roads all completely flooded as a result.

Remmie heads over to the basin. the killborg following. operation pruning thunder is a good. the killborg atacks with everywhere missiles while remmie selectivelly burns down the beanstalks with moon blasts.

Clarification: Is the Killborg really using an attack meant for indiscriminate city-scale bombing in the middle of Pella?

Drrr, no. it sill use killkill kill instrad

Remalius and the Killborg take the offensive once more, Remalius blasting the huge stalks with magic, the Killborg opting to shoot buzzsaw-blades at the things instead.
The moon-blasts aren't able to set the things aflame (especially given the sheer amount of water present), but between them the two manage to chop the leaves and stalks into managable chunks to get washed away down the river, cutting off the diverted flow of water and restoring the waterfall to its natural course. The rivers and waterfalls that the roads and walkways had become soon dry up to barely more than trickles, making the town far easier to navigate on foot as a whole.

Remalius gets 50,000 XP for dealing with what would have otherwise been an extremely difficult obstacle for the townspeople to overcome.

From what Remalus can recall before being dragged into the dreamworld, other parts of the town had become extremely overgrown, with some very large trees having sprouted between houses. The most obvious problems seem to have been dealt with, however.

[Modrageball]

Remmie will attempt to find fynn , eji and ella nw. the killborg is sent on a search and prune mission.

The Killborg is sent on its way to clear the town of extraneous under- (and over-) growth while Remalius, once again, takes to the air to find those he knows.

Unfortunately, the town is still too dark for him to really see individuals, and the few townsfolk he manages to find carrying lanterns are decidedly not the old exorcist, young shrine maiden, or fisherman.
Instead, he manages to surprise, in turn, a group of young men attempting to haul a cartful of sacks and wood up the slippery main road, two women rushing from house to house with bundles of candles, several townsfolk running towards the river with rope and nets, an absolutely livid-looking Mr. Fein baling out his shop with a bucket, and what appear to be two broom-weilding martial artists in identical red uniforms sweeping excess water into drains, who immediately drop into identical martial stances at the genie's arrival.

''Pardon me'', he booms out? ''do you two know where ella is?''

"We would have you identify yourself, spirit, and your intentions declared before we provide any answer."
The martial artists perform a swift kata in unison, flames flickering around their hands.
"This settlement has experienced enough woes this day without wayward spirits adding to their number."

''i am the spell genie Remalius. i have come to aid ella, fynn and eji. they should vouch for me.''

The two exchange a glance.
"This name has been made known to us by the head exorcist of the town."
Both relax their stances, kicking the brooms back into each other's hands.
"Your efforts in breaking the rain-curse and subduing unruly spirits have also reached our ears. We have not, however, seen the exorcist or the shrine maiden since returning to reality from the strange prison we were held in. Our efforts have been focused on helping clear the town of debris and ensuring no rogue spirits entered during our incarceration."

Reamlius's orbs brighten.
"Ahhh, I see. That is good to hear. I'm sorry to hear they are not present."

He bobs again.
"Are thre any other flooding things I can help with? I removed several leaves and trunks blocking the dam. And there was this doing something odd."

He leviates the rootball out.

"Any assistance you may provide would be gratefully received by the town," the left-hand one states, dragging a knotted mess of branches out of a side-street with his broom. "If you are able to light the town's lamps and provide illumination for the townsfolk to assist their own tasks, it would likewise be appreciated."

"We would light them ourselves," the right-hand one states, grabbing a fallen tree by a branch and dragging it out of the doorway in which it was wedged, her broom tucked under one arm, "But we have reason to believe that any invading spirits would have been washed into this lower part of the town. We therefore cannot leave it until we are assured of its safety."

REmmie nods.
"I can. With your permission?"

He'll cast glow on teh two if they let him.

He;ll start to go around the town, going to cast glow on people and items, and also light the lamps carefully with magicval blasts turned fire element via his diamond.

Glow- (Spell, Wizard Magic, Light, 300 MP, 6,000 Gold) Target may choose for individuals below Level 5 to treat it as being solely Light element

"We have little need for such assistance," the male martial artist states, tapping his lantern by way of elaboration. "Instead, focus your attention on those that would benefit."

Remalius flies around town, lighting the stone lanterns and lamp-posts that border the roads, and making small objects (and in some cases, a few animals) glow. His turning a hurrying man with an armful of boxes into a human glow-stick is received somewhat poorly, however, dissuading the genie from attempting it on any other people.

With the additional light, Remalius can see that the town's pretty badly overgrown in places, with small parks becoming highly compact forests, a few squares and streets having had unusual trees grow out of them, some blocking parts of the town off entirely. One building seems to have been completely overgrown with an ivy-type plant, which has already spread to neighbouring houses, and a corkscrew-shaped beanstalk has wound its way out of someone's chimney.

A muffled explosion sounds from one of the small patches of forest.

remmie is about to go take care of the ivy when teh explosion happens. The takes prescident. He hurries towards teh explosion, taking stock of his mana supply. He readies an ancient seal of moonlight for w hen its needed! it will be made solely moon element.

Remalius has about enough MP for another Ancient Seal.
He hurries towards the scene of the explosion! One of the thick, forested areas is currently belching smoke and flame. Upon entering, the reason soon becomes apparent- the Killborg, or what's left of it, has been destroyed, parts of it still in the clutches of something that looks like a cross between a spindly, tangled mass of branches and an upside-down spider with far too many legs with far too many joints growing out of a hole sunk into the ground. The horrible thing is flailing its branch-limbs about, smashing the remains of the Killborg and crushing trees and plants within its reach.

(question, how big is the spider? how far away? and how injured does it look?)

The spidery branches flailing around have a reach of a good ten metres or so. Thankfully, the forested area it's in is quite large. Presumably this was a square or crossroads of some kind. Or maybe a couple of buildings have fallen in.

A couple of its branch-leg-things are broken, and some of it looks scorched, but Remalius isn't skilled enough at botany to gauge its overall health. Presumably the clash with the Killborg took some sort of toll on it, though.

Remalius can't let it stay there. the spell genie might be overmatched but...
His orbs flutter in their orbit before it focuses and unleasehs the fire element ancient seal of moonlight again. TARGET: The spider!

Remalius unleashes ancient magics, the familiar glimmering seal of moonlight taking form and rushing towards the spindly branched thing!

The thing, despite having no obvious means of seeing or sensing the impending assault, ceases its horrible flailing with four limbs that, as one, lance into the incoming spell and, with horrible, deft precision, tear the form of the magic to shreds.

One of its other many-jointed limb-branches stabs into the once-paved ground below a tree. Either this was a feint or its method of attack is naturally unpredictable, as Remalius finds to his chagrin as a horrible multi-jointed branch-spear erupts from a tree beside him and tears straight through his form, dealing heavy damage. Remalius feels like his maximum MP has taken a serious hit, too.

Remmie accks as he's speared. His aura sparks into life, trying to drain the lifeforce and time from the beast. He tries to channel mana through the leg and into the beast, trying to hit it with a mind surging ancient wind.

Remalius' aura activates, but it doesn't seem to have too much of an effect on the thing's speed. The genie channels mana down through the thing's branch-leg thing, spending what MP he can to summon up a weak Ancient Wind, but the result is little more than minor splintering and cracking of the bark exterior, the rest of the mana draining away through the appendage.

The thing's branch-legs extend what appear, at first glance, to be thorns, but rapidly grow into additional too-many-jointed minilegs, giving the impression of being impaled on a horrific squirming wooden millipede. Fortunately, Remalius is able to use the twisting and flailing that the main leg goes through as a result to escape his impaled status and back away from the leg's range.

Remmie changes tactics. He tries to fire a blast at the tree where spider is, trying to ignite hte forest for now. There isn't much he can do, not against the spider now. AFter that he fires off a flare into the air, trying to attract help!

Tue May 05, 2015 9:29 pm
Is he aiming at the tree the leg came out of, or the main body (insofar as he thinks he can see it) of the thing?

[Modrageball]

(main body)

Remalius fires a blast of... well, fire at the hold the leg-things are coming out of! This prompts more horrible thrashing and flailing as the hole begins to smoulder, but completely fails to catch aflame.
More legs stab into the ground, but Remalius is ready for them this time, swiftly ducking and dodging the spearing branch-things as they burst from the bodies of the nearby trees.

A flare of magical light is sent skyward!

If the forest looks like part of remmie's moon forest, he shifts to his moon orb form. "I AM REMALIUS! YOU WILL RETREAT FROM PELLA!"

if not:

He will attempt to fire more fire blasts at the spider, trying to distract it fro mhopefully incoming help.

The area is full of some very strange plants indeed. It looks similar to the moonforest in some ways, certainly, although that could just be because the Seed Rain came from the same moon.
Remalius thinks this is good enough for him and commands the plant-thing to stop and leave, shifting into his larger moon-orb form as he does!

This nets him a branch-smack to the face. If, of course, Remalius could be said to have a face while in such a form. Remalius takes minor damage.

Remalius Growls again. "STAND DOWN" he intones, casting a scroll , the winds whip into being.

'Winds of the Singing Moon'- (Consumable, Libram, Air & Sonic, Unlimited Charges, 800,000 Gold) Deals 10,000 Flat Air & Sonic damage to one target, this effect repeats at the start of the user's first action for the next three rounds, does not stack

he tries to dodge teh next few attacks.

Remalius pulls out the old, leather-bound book and opens it in the spider-bush's direction. A ringing, crystalline chime fills the air as a blast of frigid, singing wind bursts from the pages and whirls into and around the thing's spindly appendages.
Some of the smaller sub-legs on the earlier spear-leg jutting out of the tree are torn to splinters, but the thing as a whole seems to be weathering the assault relatively well.

One of the legs makes a stabbing motion towards Remalius, the top joint firing off from its limb and spearing the genie as he engages evasive manouevres. Remalius takes moderate damage and feels his max MP take even more of a hit as the thing's mana-tearing properties take hold.

Rwmmie is getting pissed. he tries to fire off another ancient seal, trying to lock th damn thing down now.

Remalius doesn't have the MP for it, having already been using his reserves of mana near-constantly since he got back! Is he still going to attempt it, or try something else?

Hes going to instead fire off multiplle fire element pruning blasts, trying to trim off its legs

The genie's plant-pruning blasts lash out with firey essence, but each is speared by another leg and shaken to pieces before it could impact. A series of scything leg-blows from the surrounding trees manage to clip Remalius, but do little more than minor damage, sending clods of earth, fragments of paving stone and snippets of shredded leaf every which way.

Remmi continues his pruning blass, trying to curveball them now and have erractic flight paths, trying to prune the legs off or at least keep the spider on the defensive

Remalius continues his assault, curving blasts of magic at the last possible moment. Several go wide, but through either skill or luck, he manages to score a blow on one of its legs that severs it below a joint. The leg-branch falls the the ground, wriggling and writhing, and eventually curls in on itself before going still.
The plant-thing's thrashing intensifies at this, but its swipes go wild, the genie successfully dodging the sharp, thornlike ends of the branch-legs by a hair's breadth.

Remmie tries a differnt tactic, switching out a spell and casting

Love Potion!- (Spell, Alchemy, Light & Magic, 3,000 MP, 255,000 Gold) 20% inflicts Charm: Lovestruck


tryig to get charm the spider into helping him!

Remalius flings a magically-created bottle of sparkling pink liquid at the hole the branch-legs are sprouting from! Despite the guarantee of quality assured by the heart-with-an-exclamation-mark label on the bottle, this has no effect whatsoever.

One of the spindly appendages curls, flexes, and lashes towards Remalius, a silvery blast of magic streaking from its point, hitting for moderate damage.

Remalius is at about 50% health.

Remmie Trie to send up a flare hat ecplodes into his familar double helix shape. hopefully mura or fyn will see it and come. he focuses totally on dodging and defense now.

Remalius sends a flare of magic into the air, successfully making it explode, firework-like, into a double-helix pattern!

That done, the genie focuses on dodging the incoming attacks.
The plant-thing seems to be getting more creative in its assaults, a strange, wriggling gesture tearing at Remalius, dealing moderate damage, damaging his MP even more and dealing minor SPI damage to boot. Remalius manages to avoid the followup attack, and twists out of the way of the next two, getting smacked with an off-target and haphazard swing on the fourth attack for minor damage.

Nobody seems to be coming to Remalius' assistance. At least, not immediately, anyway.

Remmie decides to make his own assitnace then. He summons up a unit of.. NINJAS!!!!

the ninjas dispersing as soon as they are summoned.

Remalius summons up ninjas! Many, many ninjas! These ones seem to have particularly good reflexes, as the genie barely has enough time to register their appearance before they vanish in blurs of motion, scattering into the trees.

And just as well, too.

The spider-like branch-plant-thing spreads its legs flat on the ground, the hole they radiate from crumbling as a maw-like mound of writhing, flexing wooden pincers emerges from below. Juddering and contorting in unnerving ways, the plant-maw unleashes a wide-area blast of sickly, greenish light. Most of the ninja Remalius summoned fall from the surrounding mini-forest, dead. Remalius himself feels as if he's being torn to pieces, his essence tearing and fragmenting under the assault.
Before he can even react to the assault, several branch-spears erupt from the dead bodies of the fallen ninja, piercing Remalius in several places and ripping him open.

Remalius wakes up in the Arena Clerical Ward. Fortunately, he seems to still have all his stuff with him.

I lean towards Friendship, as Friendship would be harder to magically remove with anti-curse methods and would require social methods more often, and it fits the 'interpersonal connection established with a particular individual' aspect of many Friendship abilities.

I'm binding it since it doesn't seem like it'd be used off-world, and that'd prevent off-world combo weirdness.
