Ritsu "This certainly isn't the mansion, though I suppose the castle could almost be passable. Almost," Ritsu muttered to herself as she looked around the group of people she had ended up with. Her gaze briefly went on to the man who had seemed to be impaled with a host of weapons. After some time however, he began to look less like himself, and more like her. The main difference was that she saw herself sliced in half, circuts severed and sparking at random, and the Oracle Core, her main source of energy, slashed in two. Ritsu shook her head a bit, then looked towards the man, who again looked like his normal self. Well, as normal as one like him could be anyways. "I should run a systems diagnostic later. That was...very strange," Ritsu muttered to herself, disturbed at the unusual vision. Eon Having left the castle, there seemed to be even more newcomers that have arrived. One of them happened to be someone who probably could have seen better days, as he had been impaled with a whole host of weapons. Looking for a while, Eon saw himself, not as the dragon that he is now, but rather a cloud of stardust and heat, with what appeared to be a beam of photon going through it. Eon was rather amused at the sight rather then terrified, since he had seen similar visions through eldrichs that he ran into from time to time, and was surprised to see someone less like one do something similar. That being said, the question he asked was one that he wouldn't mind having answered. "Not particularly, but I'd imagine that you're here to explain why we are all gathered here?" he asked the man.

Eon "That's fine if you don't wish to. You must have your own reasons for keeping your secrets, and I won't judge you for that," Eon remarked before curling himself up a bit to take up less space. Once Eon was comfortable, he retrieved his compendium and began to take down notes inside of it.

Eon "I see. Well, I hope you will at least consider what your plans are if you do succeed in your tournament. I've seen far too many worlds collapse due to someone not thinking about the future. If its fine with you, could you tell me your reasoning for fighting in the tournament? Did you simply wish to win, or did you have some other goal in mind?" Eon again inquired, somewhat interested in the knight's motives.

Eon "I see. Ruling a plane seems like it could be quite the reward, though it could also be a bit of a burden I would think. Then again, I can't claim to be all too aware of the particular state of your world, so maybe it could be different," Eon paused a bit. Though he himself never ruled over a world or galaxy specifically, he had come into contact with a great many individuals who had at one point or another, each with their own methods of ruling. Some of them came out worse for wear, while others managed things rather well. "I suppose I should ask though, if you do win the tournament and become the eleventh god, what then? Do you have plans for what you would do afterwards?"

Eon "Simple curiosity really. Towards both yourself and the state of your world. I believe at some earlier point we discussed the role of favor in your world. That conversation had me a little interested in any other intricacies that may exist there also. Now about this tournament, does this have anything to do with you fighting to become the eleventh god in your realm?" Eon asked, remembering that detail from one of their earlier conversations.

Eon "Is that right? If you don't particularly mind me asking, was that due to personal preference or some other circumstances?" he inquired, hoping to either learn about the knight's story or the world they lived in.

Eon Having decided that none of the newcomers particularly struck his interest at the moment, Eon looked around for the Hellfire Knight. The individual seemed interesting enough, and their world seemed to have some curious aspects of it. After looking around a bit, Eon went towards them once again. "I hope you don't mind me stopping by for a little chat once more," Eon said to the Hellfire Knight, who he noticed had acquired a new cloak.

Eon: "Is that right? Well I won't judge you for trying to conceal your appearance, though I do wonder if its truly necessary," Eon paused a bit before continuing. "You are a capable fighter; your appearance matters little to me in terms of my opinion of you. Still though, if its important to you, I'll help you find your cloak if you wish."

Eon "You know, I don't think that constantly beating at the machine is working for you. Maybe you should stop before you end up hurting yourself. Well, more than you already have anyways," Eon remarked to the man who clearly didn't learn from his first few jabs at the machine. Looking around, he noticed the Hellfire Knight looking around the area. Slightly amused, he decided to go over and see what was causing the fuss. "Hello again. Looking for something?"

Eon: 23/33 HP Eon gazes at the creature that leaves the armor with a bit of interest before noting its movement. Trying to go into the reactor? I don't think so, he thinks to himself briefly before creating the start of a gravity field. Uses Gravity Field on Possessor

Not planning on missing again, Darius focuses his magic straight at the soldier. The results were apparent as the man was torn apart by the dark forces and dropped to the ground. Cadence struck right through the back of the unaware bandit. As he felt the blade enter, he tried to swing back his axe, but failed to connect. Leaving himself wide open, Cadence put an end to him in one quick thrust to the throat. Cheat Sheet:

A new turn, a new level up...also a brutal one all things considered. Rayne Belros Cadence Emilee Darius Idei Chirya Karik "Hmm, not bad, not bad at all!"

Inspired by the dance, Belros took down the archer in one quick strike. [Enemy Phase] Soldier 1 Attacks Cadence Hearing her taunt earlier, the soldier tried to oblige and put Cadence down. However, the fencer was able-bodied enough to dodge the lancer's strike. Her injuries still persisted slightly however, so her attack against the soldier also missed. Bandit 3 Moves to H10 and attacks Emilee Seeing that the fencer was no longer a viable target, the bandit decided to focus his attention on the healer who came closer to help out said fencer. In one strike, the bandit strikes Emilee, dropping her to her knees. Emilee tries to fight back with her staff, but her lack of strength made the damage negligible. The bandit made a slight chuckle seeing her try and hurt him. [Ally Phase] "Everyone, are you alright?" Madante yelled out as he saw Emilee get struck by the approaching bandit. "I'll be there as fast as I can!" Madante Moves to K7 Turn 5 Anthropomancy fully fades Cadence's Imbue heals her for 5HP Emilee's Self Healing kicks in for 2HP Cheat Sheet:

Walking out of the forests was the myrmidon's final mistake, as Rayne struck him down with two quick javelin strikes before falling back. ((Chirya moves to F10 and dances Belros)) Cheat Sheet:

Eon: 13/33 Well that was something, Eon thought to himself as the machine sparked up in response to a book thrown at it. Not wanting to stay injured long term, he decided to use the potion he had acquired beforehand. Uses Potion

Belros, with daggers in hand, land two quick strikes onto the archer, dropping them to their knees. Cheat Sheet:

Eon: 32/33 "How curious, it has a one time barrier," Eon mused, noting that the starfire that hit the reactor bounced back, though its damage wasn't much. It was a tiny star after all. Still though, maybe this could be used to the group's advantage. Eon uses Constellar Rain on Robot Arms and Reactor.

Racing towards the soldier, Idei fires off two quick shots. Though the soldier is capable of dealing with calvary units, he was not able to avoid the arrows and sustained a considerable amount of damage. Cheat Sheet

Darius strikes out with the dark magic, but the soldier barely manages to avoid the attack. Cheat Sheet:

((At request of character user, her move will also be done here.)) Chirya Moves to F9 [Enemy Phase] Archer 2 Moves to F13 and attacks Belros Seeing an opportunity, the archer raises their bow and shoots at the spy, getting a clean hit. With his knives at the ready, Belros still manages to strike the archer, dealing noticable damage. Bandit 3 Moves to G12 and attacks Cadence The bandit rushed towards his target, and in a deft swing strikes Cadence, dealing severe damage. Despite the injuries, Cadence still manages to land two blows onto the bandit as he backs away. Myrmidon 2 Moves to E13 and attacks Belros The myrmidon tries to take advantage of their fellow archer's distraction, but Belros notices them in time to dodge their sword strike before retaliating himself. Soldier 1 Moves to H11 and attacks Cadence With his target already wounded, the soldier comes to finish the job, striking Cadence down with one stroke of his lance. [Ally Phase] Madante Moves to L4 Turn 4 Anthropomancy fades further Cheat Sheet:

Eon: 33/33 HP Having found the machine creating the heartless after going through this mansion, Eon directed attention to the animated knight that had appeared before the party. While he was curious as to the forces that animated the armor, he could deal with that question for a less dangerous point in time. Uses Orb of Infinity to attack the Animated Armor (1d6 + Int damage)

Rayne flies into the forest to try and strike the myrmidon hidden within it. The myrmidon, hearing the sounds of the pegasus, uses the forest as effective cover, dodging both of the javelins coming their way. Cheat Sheet:

"It's fine, really. I guess I've just had my own experiences involving money. None of them particularly pleasant. But I won't weigh your minds with matters like that, we have a destination to reach and I intend to get us there!" Madante finished, trying to regain his cheerful tone.
