Astralin

Astralin's healing proved to be life saving...ah, but of course, fate had plans for the whole party. Callisto unleashed that deathly Evocation upon the party once more, devastating their HP. bpsbbbpsbsbpsbsbpbbsbpsbsbspbssbbspsbpsbsbsbpbspsbbspsbspsbpss.............................. An uneasy weariness settled upon Astralin. Something wasn't right....no, was anything right at all? Is it real, is it right, this War that they fight? Is the end in sight, can she really see the light? Does she come in slight, as others show their might? Is she awash and away, f

Was it the lair? Was it Astralin losing her mind? What was going on here? Shadows, from what had been here and within Astralin's memory, collided, and furthermore, players were seeing some elderly apparition that looked strangely like Freyd. Astralin began stumbling around, bewildered. She didn't know what to make of the things she was seeing. No, no, she wasn't going mad, she was just seeing illusions, and maybe some hallucinations produced by whatever putrid mist was settling around the mire. The monsters were trying to strike Astralin mad, but for what purpose? Was it t

Astralin thought she'd destroyed all the vines, but it seemed that there were some that remained... They grabbed at some of the scattered corpses, and brought them into some kind of maw within the mire itself... The Mire was alive. THE MIRE WAS ALIVE. ...And it was a creature of death that sought to rot anything that wasn't itself, and saw fit to consume or desecrate every corpse it could hold, there was no respect for the dead, they were seen as little more than coals to fuel a fire, no thankfulness for sacrifice, only an unearthly hunger that sought the destruction of

Astralin watched the party members clash with the boss. after having been freed from Callisto's grasp again, the Tank seemed to have disappeared. Could this have been Callisto's doing? An act of "If I can't have them, you can't either"? Well, now the party was without a full on Tank, and the monster's gaze fixed itself on Koga. Astralin had a feeling she was going to be pretty busy at this point. But just as she was thinking of what form she should use for her healing magic, she felt something rather unwelcome wrap around her legs and tug at her dress. She looked down and behind her,

Why was Astralin always finding weird things? Was she unknowingly a weirdness magnet or something? Just, why? That bear could have remained in its normal(albeit necrotic and blighted) form, it could have gotten larger and cloaked with an aura, heck, it could have potentially just pulled off one of those two handed, double bladed battle axes and got up on two feet to rage like some kind of Bearserker... BUT NOOOO, IT JUST HAD TO GO THE ELDRITCH TWIST ROUTE. Astralin witnessed the beast(or whatever in oblivion that thing was at this point) grab three different players, in

Astralin watched as the battle continued to unfold. There really wasn't much she could do without an emergency. This was a good thing, but Astralin hated feeling useless. Thankfully, her allies didn't seem to be the type to do something stupid...so far. Astralin looked to her hands, which still had those mystical handwraps bearing the power of ice, lightning, and storm. It was quite the temptation, but this was a Floor Boss, not some Event Boss that was easy in comparison to a beast like this. No, it was far too risky for the current moment. Astralin couldn't risk endangering herse

Katoka stepped in between Astralin and the Boss, then Koga would proceed to get Callisto's attention. Astralin was slightly relieved. "Thanks..." The beast roared out, as if attempting its evocation once more, but it would seem that the monster's madness would fall upon deaf ears this time. Astralin watched as the battle raged, waiting for an opportunity to help. Oscar's attack would miss, Katoka and Morningstar would tear into the beast with their weapons, and Koga would call out a threat as to challenge Callisto. She could only hope they all knew what they were doing...

Astralin returned to the party after consuming the diamonds, but it would seem that her timing was very poor for this. The entire party would be stricken with some kind of evocation. Whispers and images would flood the players' minds. Wait, did one of those voices sound familiar? No, never mind, it was all gone in a second, but Astralin would find that all three wedges in the Antidote circle had disappeared from her HUD. She also noticed that she wasn't going crazy about the impact when she saw the party's HP. Her party had gone from healthy to struggling in one fell swoop

Chaos. While that was to be expected from a battle like this, Astralin did not anticipate it to such a degree. She could only hope it didn't get worse. "Is this what War is like...?" She wondered. Koga came over to Astralin's side to see if she was alright after she'd tossed up the contents of all her buffs. The statistical effects remained, thank God, but it was definite that Astralin just emptied her stomach at this point. Astralin had begun to take a breather in an attempt to curb the nausea. "I'm...urp-, fine. Thanks, Koga..." She responded. "Now go, s

Was it the rush of blood? The Rush of Adrenaline? The sensation of overwhelming dread? All three, perhaps? What Astralin knew is that something felt wrong. Horribly wrong. And the stench was even worse. Everything that was alive within the arena quickly withered. This was no place for life in the area's current state. Astralin did her best to keep it together, both physically and mentally...though the oil sitting in her stomach didn't exactly make that easy...nor did the rotting corpses scattered aroun

Astralin was making her way over to the location of the boss room's door, hopefully not late, she was definitely running late. She would, however, be assaulted by the stench of death in the air as she arrived. now she suddenly wished she'd brought air freshener that was capable of working outdoors. An alchemical concoction would have solved this, but Astralin was still in training. First she ran over to Oscar, who'd set up some feasts for their team. They were kind of...unusual, Astralin would realize. The Blue Cow, the Giant Egg, the odd drink that tasted like oil- Wait, this act

Morningstar took the items to the back, and came back with two items that Astralin was happy to receive. While she might be able to find some use for Yellow Dragon, she was more excited about Subzero Stormwind, in all honesty. A faint Glow from Yellow Dragon showed promise, so she accepted the item and placed it in her inventory. When she took hold of Subzero Stormwind, she could practically feel the power within. A stormy combination of the powers of wind, ice, and lightning dwelt within these mysterious handwraps. Astralin was nearly jumping up and down in excitement. A beaming, bright smile

Arabelle was intrigued by Astralin's decision to stick to magic, and mentioned that she was a scythe wielder herself, how that was also unlike the norm. She stated that she'd like to know more about Astralin's magic later on, but for now, there was a meeting to attend, and she brought sweets. Astralin happily accepted a honey glazed donut. "Wow, thanks!" It wasn't long before the actual meeting started. Astralin made her way to some seating. She would listen to the various players and their points. Mentions of rot and decay, potential for necromancy on the enemy's side, One player's m
