Clearly, there was something wrong with this girl's head. "That was amazing!" She practically cheered, even though the tree had nearly sent them to the afterlife (she didn't believe in the afterlife). The ground beneath them began to shake and birds cawed loudly as they made their escape. Before them, was a creature at least ten feet tall. "Oh jeez, I need to get an interview." Another log sailed past their heads and she reconsidered. "Oh...I see you're the uh, shy type. No need to fret, maybe I can just ask for your picture?" She gave the creature a nervous grin only for it to roar, loudly. All wildlife in a ten mile radius began to scamper off to safety. "No offense, but you really need a breath mint." The girl coughed rather rudely before her eyes flitted to the boys, all of them cowering behind a confident looking Haku. The boy began spouting out orders, and she had to admit, he sounded like he knew what he was doing. "Roger! Roger Frosty!" The girl grinned and when Haku asked them to make a wish she laughed. "Jeez, what I wouldn't give for a photograph!" If she got proof of her adventures in Nowhere, well old man Rogers would eat his hat and she'd nab the job she was shooting for, easy. It'd be a piece of cake. Her amulet glowed brightly, the liquid just a little higher than the half mark. Embers began dancing around her arms and soon the flame was licking at her stick, but miraculously not hurting her. Riley let out a hearty laugh, "sooo um do you work out a lot?" The orc seemed to be highly annoyed by all her talking and when it turned to look at her she sent two fireballs flying towards its chest. Haku had done a stellar job at distracting it. "Jackpot!" There was a small explosion followed by a cloud of gray smoke. However, when the smoke ebbed away the orc stood grinning, a hand held over his chest. The gemstone engraved in his armband began to glow brighter and Riley gaped. "No way, I think it just absorbed my magic!" It stomped on the ground and the sheer force of it created a crack right where the girl had been standing, she hopped back and fell onto her backside, sulking. --- [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/tKFjLAr.png[/img][/center] The mushroom man wailed as fire began spreading across his body. It was a limbless, pathetic excuse for a monster now and it's vines struck at the air blindly. None of its limbs were growing back and Leila's arrow was still embedded deep into its eye, preventing healing of any kind. Its remaining eye stared at the humans with hate and it flailed and writhed around the pond's edge. They could end this now. The vine that was pinning Harper to the ground gave way and the boy fell to his knees, gasping for air. "Thank you...Ace." He pushed himself up and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the mushroom monster. It let out the most woeful of cries, the hunter now nothing but a cornered animal. He raised a sword and sliced through two vines that wanted to grab at him. In one last futile attempt to save its life, it flailed its vines around and let out an ear-piercing kind of screech. It took a few shaky steps back, trying to evade the humans. It's food brushed against the pond's edge. All it would take was one more tiny push and then it would be over. Harper screwed his eyes shut, feeling sorry for it. "Now!"
