The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS, ACIDIC, and LC keep moving.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*STRIFE!*

*A KNIGHT TREANT suddenly animates!*

*A TREANT is basically a very powerful tree-based entity disguised as a Tree, so a KNIGHT TREANT is basically a TREANT after a 24/7 work-out-a-thon, with additional lessons in STEELWOOD SWORD AND BOARD combat. Otherwise it's just standard fantasy fare...Well, except for the fact that TREANTS are actually pretty ridiculous on their own.*

*KNIGHT TREANT gets initiative and uses LV. 9999 STEELWOOD SHIELDING! He plants his massive STEELWOOD BOARD down in front of him, rooted into the ground, doubling his defense, and tripling it against attacks from the FRONT.*

*The FIRE DoT EFFECT is particularly effective against the KNIGHT TREANT despite the STEELWOOD SHIELDING, so that softens up an otherwise surprisingly hard encounter. You'd best exploit that.*

[Ganyu]

*unsummons Water Elemental Birds and summons an Elite Ghoul*

*Elite Ghoul uses Fiery Kagune Whip.*

[Sir Sivelos]

*LC casts tech: WEIGHT ON YOUR SHOULDERS! All DoT for the KNIGHT TREANT has been doubled!*

[VeloJello]

*VELO summons a SUNBEAM BOW and attacks from a distance.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*LIGHT CHAOS stacks the KNIGHT TREANT's DoT!*

*The FIERY KAGUNE WHIP and SUNBEAM BOW both do pretty crazy damage, but it's not enough to one-shot the KNIGHT TREANT!*

*The KNIGHT TREANT uses LV. 9001 SHIELDBASH, knocking LC out of a defensive position with some light damage to add to it! SIVELOS and ACIDIC take some DoT from the raining fire, along with everyone else! LC is stunned and will be unable to defend SIVELOS...Or would be if he didn't have ANTISTUN as an ability! He's still out of position, though.*

[Sir Sivelos]

*LC is not attacking. He's currently recovering from the attack, but SIVELOS crawls behind him as a defensive measure. Meanwhile, however, APOPH initiates a brutal offensive with his TRI-FLAIL.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*That did it! KNIGHT TREANT down! But get out of here, ASAP! Seriously! Fiery forests bad for the health!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*LC goes back to guarding whilst SIVELOS does his best to lug ACIDIC to the TELEPORTATION SIGIL. He tries using TEMPORAL MARATHON.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*You're at max speed alrea-wait. Wow, That actually worked. The slowed-down timeframe you instill bypasses the issue of ACIDIC's weight holding you down and almost totally halts the DoT stack, giving you time to head to the sigil! Your party members, ridiculously fast, head back with you!*

*Back on the main planet, you are immediately able to teleport aboard with GRIMORE and the ARMS of ATLAS. Before you go, however, you clearly see what is the Author chasing down Revenankh from the cliffside where the teleportation sigil was. Revenankh is clearly losing their fight. You might as well leave the duo to their duel...TAZZ, REBECCA, and OMINOUS go up!*
