*Manifests by the creature and spins around it, staring studiously*
Weeeell, what is this curious little thing?

@Magnanimity

Whatever it is, it keeps trying to get itself killed. And knowing our opponent, I'm not going to let it.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

…
*Sighs, and after a moment, likely with Chickpea’s assistance, I lock eyes with the exact point in space where the monster is currently positioned, and I tug on the space held in my grip, defying physics itself and hurling myself instantaneously from where I stand directly into the body if the beast with one of the most catastrophically explosive physical punches ever witnessed*

@Valiance

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The strike rattles across the surface of the spheroid, the kinetic energy instantly bubbling the fleshy stone into lava pits, which evaporate into gas—shockwaves erupt across the internals of the body, and the strike ejects fragments across nearby space; one of the fragments manages to penetrate Faering's aura and scratches the blob creature, the scratch immediately reflecting itself across your own cheek*

@Artifact

*Hurls myself in front of the creature to protect it from any further oncoming strikes*
Roland!
*Lifts my hand and a serrated disk of gold light spirals outward from a central point, which I fling into the broken enemy, cleaving open wide trenches in the new lava pits*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

…

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Scans quickly across the universe, searching for where Faering or the monster may have gone*

@Magnanimity

*Is along the same path we took before, still locked in combat with the monster, but now protecting one of the black creatures that stands in Roland’s place and tries to hop into any attack it sees*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*It slams down onto my back, though not fully knocking me away, its weight and force does knock me to one knee. I brace the weight on my back and push myself back up to a standing position, and look at Faering, signaling for her to move*

@Valiance

Rol—Oh, great.
*Swoops into a defensive guard and fortifies the area with golden light*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I'd be horrified to imagine what this thing could do if it got its hands on either of you.
*Lifts my hand and manifests a small blue ball from my palm, which begins spinning rapidly and blasting lasers from its surface rapidly and erratically at all approaching entities like a disco ball of death*

@Magnanimity

No kidding.
*Each of the lasers are coated in an aura of holy golden light, which adds additional piercing effects to the entity*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*That visage completely fades away in the midst of the attack, which tears large chunks from the main body and are quickly addressed by the wriggling tendrils that aim to fill in the gaps*

@Artifact

*Charges a beam of golden light from my palm, which annihilates all of the tendrils and burrows deeper into the surface of the celestial body*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Flips forward several times and comes to a halt, landing suddenly and forcefully onto one of Chickpea’s artificial platforms*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Just a little longer!

@Valiance

*Claps my hands together, and as I pull them apart, a Javelin of golden light emerges between the gaps*
After this one, he's next in line.
*Launches the weapon directly into the spere*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Ideally.
*Focuses my gaze ahead toward the target*

@Valiance

*The golden light attempts to escape me and is again repressed while I grit my teeth*
That backstabbing...
*Holds up my hand, and a sphere of pure white light erupts from my fingertips and crashes into the smoky appendages pointed toward us*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Hopefully not.

@Valiance

I'd like to keep it that way.
*Soon we approach the heart of the creature, a pale quasi-spherical bulb that emits white, ghastly tendrils like solar flares, and responds to our presence as we approach by pointing two thirds of the wisps toward us*
