[KQ] Bigger A(spire)ations

Once again it was consumed by fire. With a roar that was more annoyance now, it glared across at Remi with a snarl bathed in flames. Lurching a step forward, its muscles twisting and twitching beneath a pelt that seemed bizarrely adhered to the flesh below, it lurched awkwardly as its back was jolted violently with a stream of electricity from Ashetta. Luckily hit given the speed at which Percy was moving, the monster braced itself, arms streaking haphazardly from its side as the lightning invades its senses and temporarily dulled its receptors. Ronin 's taunt indeed caught the demon's attention. With his blood still dripping down its claws, it made a strangled sort of cooing sound low in its throat as it lunged—narrowly avoiding Roana and her blade. Still disoriented, the first swipe of its claws went rogue. Righting itself and lunging in earnest now, both teeth and claws landed upon Ronin's bracer, though with shocking accuracy, its teeth were somehow stopped precisely against the gauntlet. With a brilliant rush and burst of static, the demon was thrust back from Ronin with horrific needle-point accuracy. Tendrils of electric blue wrapped around the beast like bindings. Its muscles spasmed away from its body in a gruesome display as the electricity seemed to insidiously slip into its open orifices. With a screaming wail that sounded like true agony, it collapsed to the ground, body twitching as the blue-netting of electrical discharged caused by Ronin's gauntlet continued to scour across the surface of skin which was quickly being eroded away. Beneath, gears wrought with rust and tendrils of muscles that looked more like cabling than quick-twitch fibers twirled and shook with the strain. Heat slowly escaped through these openings in its leathery hide and as it rose to its feet. All the animalistic tendencies it had once displayed—growling, roaring, seeking, sniffing—were gone. An eerie calm descended, and for the second time, the creature unhinged its jaw and began to laugh. The initiative order is as follows (determined by dice roll): MONSTER, REMI, RONIN, ASH, ROANA. Your turn is roughly 6 seconds long, so keep that in mind when writing your posts. If you want to use your turn to protect someone else, you must have specified that in your previous post. {ATK REMI - HIT} {ATK ASHETTA- HIT} {ATK ROANA - MISS} {ATK MONSTER- MISS} {ATK MONSTER- HIT} {ATK MONSTER- HIT} {DEFENSE RONIN - HIT} ENDING HP Monster: 109 Remi: 137 Ronin: 127 Ashetta: 105 Roana: 75 whatever doesn't kill me better run
