The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Sivelos is rudely tapped upon the shoulder...Oh my.*

*It looks like LYCIAN respawned on the L.N.U. Graveyard, which explains why the ships aren't firing at you.*

Lycian:...I'm...ANGRY.

*You are inside. Falling off isn't a problem, all gentlemanliness LYCIAN may have possessed is gone, and LYCIAN is at full HP. Close-quarters brawl, ho!*

[Wander]

excuse me sir

we dont allow doggies on the ship

so could you kindly leave please--

nah thats no fun

*WANDER casts ASCENSION. An enormous shark made up of water and electricity comes up from below LYCAIN, swallowing him up. It chews him for a bit before spitting him back out, then the shark disappears.*

[Ganyu]

Hey why can't I see anything on this ship? *casts Nebelgeist; spectral mist returns yet again*

Spirit... You're poking my toe. Oops, I thought 'twas the lycanthrope.

*casts LAMES DE BROUILLARD*

[Sir Sivelos]

*LYCAIN takes the ASCENSION for some damage. Not enough, but some damage nonetheless. LYCAIN also dodges the LAMES DE BROUILLARD!*

Lycain: I'M NOT A WEREWOLF!!!!

*LYCAIN coats his TIGER CLAWS in SHADOW before using an item: POWDERED LUCK! LYCAIN sprinkles the POWDERED LUCK onto himself, guaranteeing unrivaled luck for the next turn! Such a rare and overpowered item must have been crafted by VAXUS. LYCAIN then uses GUILLOTINE on ECRIVAIN! True to LYCAIN's POWDERED LUCK and the SHADOW COATING, the attack hits for calamitous damage! ECRIVAIN goes down! LYCAIN's playing for keeps this time.*

Lycain: Who's next!?

Woah! *SIVELOS uses GALAXIATECH: SWORD BEAM! SIVELOS focuses ULTIMATE GALAXIA's energy into its tip, and swings to fire a ball of white-hot plasma at LYCAIN! LYCAIN takes the hit for some damage.*

Lycain: GAROO! How dare you, you little worm!

Apoph: It gets better, trust me.

*APOPH uses SONIC CONCUSSION! APOPH slams his PLANET ON A STICK into the nearest wall, which happened to be hollow! The sonic vibrations ring throughout the GRAVEYARD, causing a dissonant and cacophonous ringing noise that gives LYCAIN a nasty headache! LYCAIN takes some damage, and has been confused! …However, due to LYCAIN's CANINE HUNTER ability, his offenses have been raised due to the confusion.*

Apoph: Oh. Darn.

*The POWDERED LUCK's effect has worn off at this point, by the way. Whether or not LYCAIN has more is yet to be seen.

[Ganyu]

*respawns*

Well that was just lovely. *casts Embargo on Lycain; a rune appears above his forehead, symbolizing his inability to use items or craft anything*

*casts ETERNITY: SPECTRAL CYCLONE; the ghost mist quickly becomes a swirling tempest that forcefully pulls in any living thing into the eye where the spirits wait to consume the soul (or practically speaking, deal unresisted Dark damage)*

[Sir Sivelos]

Lycain: GR… You're making me mad, phantom!

He's going to try something! Be ready!

*LYCAIN uses UNIQUETECH: PERISH HOWL! LYCAIN howls, lacing the sound with dark magic… All who hear it, barring LYCAIN himself, will take calamitous damage within three turns! Can it be undone!? Or will you all suffer an inevitable fate!?*

We gotta figure out how to undo it, or we'll lose Pandora (and Bahamut, if he can't respawn like other Elder Souls)!

Lycain: Try it, I dare you!

*SIVELOS uses REFRESH! SIVELOS heals all status ailments he might have! …Which unfortunately, does not include the effects of PERISH HOWL. Good job wasting a turn.*

HEURGHHHHHH--

*While SIVELOS rages, APOPH uses ROYAL INFIRMARY on PANDORA! All status ailments have been healed, as well as PANDORA's HP and ENERGY being restored to full! This also happens to include the effects of PERISH HOWL! How lucky!*

Apoph: Hm.

[Ganyu]

The wolf knows Perish Song?

Also, how audacious to use dark magic against me.

*casts Mirror Eye of Shadows; the mirror reflects any and all use of dark magic back to its user; while it doesn't negate Perish Howl's effects, Lycain is now affected too!*

*casts Temporal Slow; time moves slower now......* Three turns is plenty of time if that canine isn't affected by Perish Howl.

[Sir Sivelos]

*LYCAIN uses MILITARY RATIONS! LYCAIN is cured of any and all status debuffs, effects, blah blah blah and the like. LYCAIN's PERISH HOWL effects are now gone. Yours, however, still exist. LYCAIN is determined to make this fight hell for you.*

*APOPH uses ROYAL INFIRMARY on himself. Can't let the healer die, can we?*

*SIVELOS just focuses on attacking LYCAIN with ANNIHILASERS! LYCAIN's health is gradually decreasing! Gradually being the key term here. But if you were doing determination-based damage, you would be rolling in OHKOs.*

*WANDER casts ASCENSION. An enormous shark made up of water and electricity comes up from below LYCAIN, swallowing him up. It chews him for a bit before spitting him back out, then the shark disappears.*

*OM NOM NOM!*

Hey why can't I see anything on this ship? *casts Nebelgeist; spectral mist returns yet again*

Spirit... You're poking my toe. Oops, I thought 'twas the lycanthrope.

*casts LAMES DE BROUILLARD*

*WHAM! LAMES DE BROUILLARD hits like a freight train, piercing straight through his defense! The close-quarters prevent dodging of any sort...Which means prepare to get retaliated upon!*

*LYCAIN takes the ASCENSION for some damage. Not enough, but some damage nonetheless. LYCAIN also dodges the LAMES DE BROUILLARD!*

*The POWDERED LUCK's effect has worn off at this point, by the way. Whether or not LYCAIN has more is yet to be seen.

*LAMES DE BROULLIARD, nor any attack really, could ever miss in these conditions! LYCIAN has literally wasted it!*

*respawns*

Well that was just lovely. *casts Embargo on Lycain; a rune appears above his forehead, symbolizing his inability to use items or craft anything*

*casts ETERNITY: SPECTRAL CYCLONE; the ghost mist quickly becomes a swirling tempest that forcefully pulls in any living thing into the eye where the spirits wait to consume the soul (or practically speaking, deal unresisted Dark damage)*

*Ow.*

Lycain: GR… You're making me mad, phantom!

He's going to try something! Be ready!

Apoph: Hm.

*PANDORA is healed to full...BUT! APOPH exhausts himself!*

The wolf knows Perish Song?

Also, how audacious to use dark magic against me.

*casts Mirror Eye of Shadows; the mirror reflects any and all use of dark magic back to its user; while it doesn't negate Perish Howl's effects, Lycain is now affected too!*

*casts Temporal Slow; time moves slower now......* Three turns is plenty of time if that canine isn't affected by Perish Howl.

*It happens, but...*

*LYCAIN uses MILITARY RATIONS! LYCAIN is cured of any and all status debuffs, effects, blah blah blah and the like. LYCAIN's PERISH HOWL effects are now gone. Yours, however, still exist. LYCAIN is determined to make this fight hell for you.*

*SIVELOS just focuses on attacking LYCAIN with ANNIHILASERS! LYCAIN's health is gradually decreasing! Gradually being the key term here. But if you were doing determination-based damage, you would be rolling in OHKOs.*

*...LYCIAN cures himself! Before you ask, no, MILITARY RATIONS is a tech, not an item.*

*APOPH cannot heal himself because he is out of energy!*

*You know, LYCIAN's denial of being a Lycan reminds me of FREEDOM and his denial of being-*

Freedom: I AM NOT!!! DON'T EVEN START WITH THAT!!!

*WHAT THE-Oh dear, it appears FREEDOM is ALSO on the ship! His ridiculous abilities could make the fight against LYCIAN nigh-impossible! Good thing the ship's on auto-pilot at this point and there's no enemy ships on the radar.*

Bahamut: Great, more of you thugs to take out. You utterly disgust-

Freedom: CAN IT, PEON! I'm not here for your weak-mindedness this time, slaves...Hehehe...

*That doens't sound good. FREEDOM vanishes almost as quickly as he was revealed...Then, you realize his game.*

*Out of nowhere, HUGE amounts of INTERDIMENSIONAL HOLES have created themselves, courtesy of DAEDs! Out of them comes RaGNaK ships, loads and loads of them! This is only half the fleet, but their ships are huge and bulky, and definitely not capable of being taken out in a straight shipfight, especially with only one ship! They open fire on you-and their combined firepower is enough to rip the ship to shreds! SIVELOS, the only one capable of piloting, quickly grabs the wheel and deactivates auto-pilot to save the ship's rear end-dying now would be catastrophic!*

*SIVELOS cannot fight against LYCIAN in this state, he's too busy piloting! At the same time, you all notice a device on LYCIAN's leg, a teleporter-if need be, he can just grab the corpse and flee! You have to defeat LYCIAN (or force him to flee) AND keep SIVELOS alive! IF he bites it, you CANNOT pilot the ship out of the firing line and will automatically lose the instance!*

Lycian: Those Ragnak fools! But...Ugh, The goal, not just the kills! Better deal with these little rats quick, nab Kami-Lord's corpse, and get out of dodge...

*LYCIAN holds an unfamiliar device in his hands, kind of looking like a gun.*

Lycian:...Hrm...Not now!

*He decides against whatever he was going to do with it.*

*PANDORA uses DIVINE WINDS, courtesy of her weapons! The DIVINE WINDS shield SIVELOS, temporarily, and cure him of any instant-death effects, including PERISH HOWL!*

*BAHAMUT uses EYE OF THE TIGER, boosting his accuracy and crit chance to max levels! The crit chance is more important, natch, as crits negate some defense! Also, on the question of his respawning ability: You simply don't know!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*from the cockpit* THANK YOU FRIEND!

Lycain: Fancy weapon you have there! I'd have fun ripping it to shreds, but I have a mission! GET OUT OF THE WAY! *LYCAIN uses HYPER VOICE! LYCAIN barks, sending a shockwave echoing throughout the battlefield, sending targets flying this way and that. LYCAIN makes a mad dash for the coffin!*

*APOPH, who happens to regain his energy, suddenly comes to and uses GRAND SLAM on LYCAIN, tackling him to the ground!*

Lycain: BARK

Apoph: I don't think so!
