[Delita's arrival did not go unnoticed by the monks. A few quick assurances that he would take care of the Mindflayer in the basements were due before settling himself down to polish his sword in preparation for the impending battle.]

[Stress lines, marred his face as he knew the dangers that lay within Orbonne. The necessity that the creature be vanquished before others approached was paramount.]

[Mjrn arrives soon after, having made the journey back directly upon receiving the myrrh drop within the tomb. She did her best to rest on the airship, so that she would not waste time on the ground. Gripping her spear, she nods upon approaching Delita.]

I am ready.

[Having shared the same transportation as her Viera companion, Ashe emerges only moments after Mjrn. Rest, however, had mostly eluded the Dalmascan princess, whose mind had been occupied by her discovery deep within Raithwall's Tomb. The Sword of Kings, Nethicite destroyer, the very blade she had spoken of when the Lucavi incident was at its most worrying point.

Wearing the lengthy weapon strapped to her back and giving acknowledgement to the monks, she approaches the place where the two await.]


As am I.

[Mjrn doesn't understand the need for formality in this case, but whatever makes him happy...besides, she would rather focus on the task at hand.]

Then let us seek it. Lead the way?

[With Mjrn's keen senses and Delita's proven skill, Ashe anticipates the challenge with confidence in her allies. She nods, noting the formal address but failing to question. Rather she comes to stand between the two, turning to look at he who would be guide, nodding her consent to proceed.]

[Mjrn nods, following.]

This MindFlayer...how is it best fought? Do you know its weaknesses?

[Ashe thinks quickly, remembering the past hunt for the fiend as best she can. The Sword is not her only weapon, a lighter blade rests at her hip, one hand on the hilt.]

It attacks by magicks alone, attempting to manipulate your thoughts. As it weakens, its defence grows... I recall using healing magicks - potions - as a means of attack, since it had some capability to reverse the effect of spells.

[Mjrn winces at the thought-manipulation, though Ashe would be the only one to know the reason why.]

Then I am glad that I brought restoratives, in addition to my magick. With remedies at hand, may such moments be brief.

[As they descend, Mjrn grows quiet, waiting for the creature's scent and movements to reach her sensitive ears and nose.]

[Until she observes Mjrn's physical reaction, Ashe had forgotten the incident which related so strongly to her words, and would have regretted having spoken them were they not so crucial to their task. She nods.]

Fortune may prevail; we may defeat the fiend quickly.

[Ashe knows this is unlikely, yet motivation is what's fuelling their every step deeper into the monastery's depths. She quietens, also listening, despite the limitations of her Hume hearing.]

[And Mjrn is grateful for that, since she has a few things to do before rushing said creature. First, she concentrates and grants them all Haste and Protect. Then she uses one of the dragoon abilities Kain had taught her; Reis' Wind. It will grant them Regen, hopefully easing the need for curative magicks.

That done, she readies her spear. As soon as the Mindflayer's in sight, she Jumps. The Viera dragoon may not have as much room as usual for the attack, but she'll take what she can get.]

[So much time has passed since the princess was required to make use of a blade that she almost feared to have lost some of her skill - almost, since there was neither time nor sense for such fears. Not when the fiend is presented before them in all its might.

Feeling the protectives act upon her, Ashe is driven to unsheathe the weapon and, raising it above her, waits for Mjrn to complete her attack before she turns her weapon upon the Mindflayer.]

[The combined attacks certainly do a considerable amount of damage to the Mindflayer, who is slashed and blasted just in time for Mjrn to greet him with her spear upon her descent. It seems that victory might already be at hand, when it lashes out with Mind Blast.

Mjrn staggers, then halts in place. She's now temporarily paralyzed.]

[Delita's assault takes her by surprise, having had no idea he was capable of whatever magick that had been. Nonetheless she would be foolish not to be glad of it, for the multiple attacks gain them the advantage.

Fortunately for the princess, she evades the Mind Blast and, reacting quickly to Mjrn's plight, calls forth Esuna, sending the healing glow toward the immobilised Viera.]

[Mjrn's freed from her hold just in time to see Delita rush Ashe. Her eyes widen with horror and she moves quickly to cast Esuna on him.

Meanwhile, the MindFlayer isn't done. It closes in on Mjrn to deliver a blow, which she's too busy spellcasting to intercept. Her spell goes off without a hitch, but she cries out at the sudden blow, barely having time to block another.

Staggering back, she takes a moment to steady herself, then jumps once more.]

[Mjrn's reaction proves to save Ashe, who spins around just in time to be met by Delita's blade inches from her torso - she throws herself aside with a cry, avoiding being impaled by mere fractions. Quickly she pushes herself up from the stone floor, watching as Esuna works upon the confused knight. Though the princess' knees and palms of her hands are grazed, slightly bleeding, she grasps her blade and turns back to the Mindflayer, striking to draw its attention from Mjrn's aerial attack.

The only reason she breaks her focus is to snap her head back in her friend's direction, fearful of his state.]


Delita -!

[Mjrn descends with brutal force. Kain taught her well, and she's using that to her full advantage. With a cry, she plunges her spear into the creature, hoping that this effort will be the last needed.]

[It's with relief that Ashe watches the strength of the Viera's attack take its ultimate toll on the fiend.]

[Moments after the assault does the creature begin to disappate into fragments of glowing light, the princess allowing herself a sigh as the last remnants finally fade completely.]

Date: 2011-06-21 07:04 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com
[Mjrn takes a moment to catch her breath, then straightens and casts Cura.]

Are all well?

[Her gaze lingers on Delita, sympathy in those eyes but not certain if he would wish to discuss the matter aloud.]
