Quiet/Silent characters are neat and cool... When they're the main protagonist and all other characters are drawn to them for plot-reasons. Unfortunately, as seen in "No matter how I look at it, it's your fault I'm not popular!", when you're not in a story and ain't the main character, being the silent/quiet type doesn't really do you any favors... :P
Just like in real life! 8D
Who woulda thought that people would prefer to interact with vibrant, outgoing and talkative individuals, over silent, taciturn and stoic folk? :o

Hits too real man D:

Sorries. :<

You lot at the Royal Plaza, do you need my intervention? Or do you want to keep talking amongst yourselves? There's no immediate rush, since Team Church-Busters are still busy fighting, but you've all been very silent this week, so I thought I'd check in, just in case.

Personally, I'm just chilling here and intending on Cecilia to get going once they've all introduced themselves. So probably no need for intervention?

Early update, but I wanted to make up for last week's delay.

Some notes though:

- Kaze is now under the effect of "Blind". He cannot see, and the spell cannot be removed by physical means, such as potions or regenerative natural abilities. It's a magic, curse-like effect that will last until either dispelled, or until cured by a Curse-removing prayer or holy magic.
- Atua is not dead, not yet at least. However, she does now suffer from a cracked skull, a cracked neck and the after-effects of electrocution. Since she was being controlled, she wasn't able to use her natural agility and was more rigid and stiff than usual, which caused the blow to have a greater effect than usual.
- The zombie currently holding onto Yinha won't last for very long. Fire and Holy damage do a lot of DPS to zombies. Sadly, illusion-magic is practically worthless on undead that don't use sight. Remember, these are puppets, they're being directed and told where to go and what to do. You could create a thousand naruto-like shadow clones, and they'd still ignore all of them and only go for the 'real' individual. Zombies are really annoying.

But, hey! At least you've managed to whittle down the enemy forces to just one psychotic priest and a handful of bumbling flesh-eating corpses! Progress is being made~

Wha-?! Curses! Foiled again after trying to be fancy!

Though i feel Yinha would have at least stepped out of the way of the zombie's grab, rather than let it actually nab her. Haha. But hey, all is chill regardless. :P

And on the bright side, our kill count is rising...lol.

Mage shall be casting some heals and such for those about her in a moment tho. Or as soon as i get a response post up. I had a suspicion the church party needed a healer. XD

Given that Yinha thought she was safe with her illusions, and moving would most likely have caused her magic holy+fire circle to not work anymore, I think it's fair to assume she thought she was safe and could remain still.

Also, please remember that Kaze doesn't show any physical, outward signs of being blind - in case you were thinking to be clever and just suddenly decide to cast a dispel or cure on him randomly... ;)
You'd realistically have to have Kaze post before Yinha and do something like ...

"RAAAAAAAAAAH! MY EYES! I CAN'T SEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" *topples over and kicks in the air like a baby*

*cast indiscriminate healing spells on everyone because this situation stinks and she has no idea who is hurt or not*

:P

but noted, as that does make sense on Yinha's part with the illusion and all.

Kaze so angreh! No sympathy for his beloved allies at all! Such a meanie! :<

Meanwhile, Ciel's still the most precious cinnamon bun in the story.

EDIT;

I'm gonna try and have the Church-fight end this week, so we can get rolling with the real story and not get bogged down in the prologue.

Kaze isn't angry yet, he's agitated. He hasn't Raged in the whoooole fight :p

@XaltwindShould i say anything about the zombie dying in my post, if it won't last that long with the dual damage? Or just let you continue? Just to ask at least, ah, i mean.

It's fine if you write it about it dying in your post. It's just a mook after all. Don't forget to include the part about, y'know, Yinha's arm being given a very severe indian-burn though...

*Yinha's arm just falls off*

"...Tis but a scratch."

XD

@Kazemitsu@The Irish Tree Heals have been given. Healer is in danger tho. :3

Ah, all those World of Warcraft dungeon diving memories. XD

I like Yinha's very retro way of casting spells...

"Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!"

Good memories, good times... :p

@OwO, @Click This, @Asuras, you three gonna add something to the conversation soon? You can't move forward if'n you don't move things along. ;o

She is casting retro way just at the start here cause elves are old school yo mainly when she's in that more 'mechanical' mindset she's falling back on. In this mental state casts the super retro way her old crusty high elf teacher taught her, which would have been the first casting method worked into her (before learning the other stuff). Thought it'd be a nice old school touch. XD

But outside of involvement with undead, where that mindset kicks in for her, she will be swiftly segway-ing back into more modern stuff and silent casting otherwise. :P

Could she learn metamagic at some point down the line? Idk if that is Sorceress-locked or anything of the ilk in this particular universe. :O

Hold on we gotta finish our cookies. :3

I'll have something up by the end of the week. Sorry about the delay!

i didnt realize i posted in the IC with an OOC post so early post to remove my dumb

@OwO
Oh, I thought you did that as a place-holder-hingymybobber. Though, Artemisia doesn't use a spear, just fyi... xD
