Roland was making himself a nuisance on George. After landing his initial surprise and frankly unhonorable blow on the kaiju monster Roland gained his first emotion level and with it gained [b]Eternally Lit Lamp[/b], with a deep chirpy voice saying "Follow this lamp. I’ll save you all." which would cause enemies to target Roland if he attacked them. This would come to bite him in the butt as he pulled out his swords and started to cut at George from his now exposed backside in an attempt to go for his spine. This got the ape's attention as his pained stomp made those around him scatter, and with Roland only having starting the fight his new abilities or rather downsides reduced his speed enough for George to get a hold of him, his massive hand way too big for Roland to clash with and win with any of his weapons. 

Although thankfully for Roland, this wouldn't be his end as he was rescued by both a tall... oddly vampire looking bug man and Oscar who capitalized on Roland's opening and pierced something quite vulnerable on the Kaiju with his massive lance. Roland reacted to being dropped much like an action hero would, summoning a sword to stab into George's side to slow his momentum and make a reasonable landing. All while Grimm had made a swipe at George's eye, and paid the price for it. But unlike Roland, he was able to avoid the worst of the possible damage with some teleporting powers. 

[color=d7d7d7]"Thanks guys."[/color] Roland said, although Grimm seemed to have to leave to go do something else as an assistant came to help him get to wherever he had to go. Roland was confused, but he'd have to wait until George was dealt with. He was wounded, and with one less eye now and some strong wounds on his leg and body he picked up one of the trees to use as a club. Roland countered him by pulling out his gun and shot the Kaiju in the other eye to ruin his oncoming swing at Oscar, forcing him to swing at Roland at a very weird angle allowing Roland to dodge and raise his emotion level to 2, gaining [b]Watchful Eyes[/b] with the same chirpy voice saying "For every creature in the forest I saved, my eyes gained another in number.". 

He'd need to help finish George off, as the kaiju ape was taking slow but steady damage from the adventurers around his know kneeling legs. And while that was going on, George was trying to use his free hand to grab some of them in an effort to heal off of eating them. Roland made this difficult though, as he grabbed George's attention with his Eternally Lit Lamp and shooting George with a rotation of his crossbow, gun, and X baton in gun form to keep his range from the giant not expecting another save if he got grabbed again. Being unable to get to Roland with all the things swarming him and his cut tendon, and George being forced to focus on Roland really made things annoying for the Kaiju. Especially with people like Oscar having no qualms about going for any weak points that presented themselves.

That annoyance turned into George grabbing and throwing random things at Roland, including people in an attempt to damage and get rid of this person that was making it difficult to regenerate his health. While dodging people, who were also trying to not hit Roland was easy, dodging benches, trees, and the like were much more difficult and would rely on Roland using his melee weapons to deal with them... Although only his greatsword could handle these giant objects which lead to Roland getting hit by a few of these objects. At least all this interactions got him to Emotion level 3, and with it another power [b]Salvation[/b], with that familiar deep chirpy voice saying "If I kill them first, then no one would be killed by the beast!" This made George's ability to throw objects now obsolete, as Roland hit him once more with a ranged shot, sealing his ability to toss things and essentially helping seal the deal with George. 

Speaking of, the final blow to George would come from the EGO page Roland acquired, Justitia and him using it on the ape. Having spent so many attacks on George from range, he was surprised and happy that the target of his rage was coming right for him. Or at least, he was happy until Justitia activated, stopping his fist in mid air as the area turned into a red twilight forest and an ethereal noose wrapped itself around George's neck and raised into the air, essentially hanging the creature on his own sins. If George had been healthier, he would've survived, but as this finished him off George dissolved in a burst of page-like willo-wisps leaving behind a Book of George and everyone cheering as they had slain the monster. Roland meanwhile picked up the book and made his way away from the scene, instead following after that bug. He did help save Roland, but something about him seemed a bit suspicious and he didn't know Grimm like he did Oscar, so giving Oscar a thumbs up as he left, he made is way after Grimm.

Finding Grimm funnily enough wasn't all that difficult. Whatever Grimm had to go and do, he made a straight line for it without any care about being followed. Whatever it was, was incredibly important. And as Roland came into view of the battle, he saw Grimm fighting some.... zombies? Like, actual zombies being controlled by someone he didn't recognize. As Roland approached, one of the bugs that looked kind of similar to Grimm stopped him, saying simply. "Stay out of this unless the master says otherwise. Just enjoy the show." Well... Roland wasn't going to argue if thats what they wanted. He did take a few good hits dealing with George, so he could observe for a little bit.
