SayakaQuest: Trauma is a Thing

Changing my vote to:

[X] Stay away! (+10% to projectiles).
[X] Throw five swords. (???)
[X] Target:
-[X] The Center. [EXTREME RISK] [-40% to damage avoidance rolls with Melee attacks]

[X] Coordinate with Kyouko. (???)
- "Watch my back!"

Yeah, more swords will do more damage. And I don't know if Kyouko can stay close to the witch without taking damage or maybe even dying.
Keeping the familiars away is should help with hitting the witch.

A BFS could also be good, it's not like the witch can see it coming.

Battle, Glauce [95]
[X] Stay away! (+10% to projectiles).

Smart woman. You scramble away from the ball as Kyouko does her damnedest to keep away. You grit your teeth. "Kyouko!"

"Yeah?!"

"I'm gonna toss!"

"Toss your...Oh." Just as she says that, a blast of heat sends her flying backwards. She hits a nearby wall and gasps, but she doesn't seem to be seriously injured. "Shit!"

[X] Throw three swords (36%)[Three rolls]

[ROLL: 46+10,50+10,74+10]

You grit your teeth and form three swords. You get one in each hand, and a third in your teeth. With the way your face is shaded by the light around you, you look pissed, and you swear that if this were an anime, your eyes would be glowing a bright blue.

[X] Target:
-[X] The Center. [EXTREME RISK] [-40% to damage avoidance rolls with Melee attacks]
[X] Coordinate with Kyouko. (???)

[ROLL: 56]
http://[MALICIOUS WEBSITE]/roller/view/4262633/You grit your teeth, and you throw the first two. Both swords smash into the center of the witch, and they pin it to the wall rather horribly. Immediately, that part of the furnace begins melting, as the witch tries, in vain, to struggle out of it. Kyouko whips out her chain and, immediately, ties it down. "Sayaka! Last one!" Her chain starts to melt.

You waste no time in throwing the third sword. This one smashes through the chain and into the witch, dead-on. It screeches and struggles, before it finally grows much colder. The entire furnace turns a dark shade of blue, before it eventually starts to disintegrate around you.

WITCH DEFEATED


Inventory plus: One Grief Seed! You now have a total of three.

Damage gained: Your fingers are burnt and your legs are burnt worse.

Deaths: Zero.

Corruption: All things considered, not that bad at all. This witch was a relatively easy one.

You sigh in relief as things go back to normal around you...then you and Kyouko realize that you're in the midst of a chemical plant that's likely to explode any second now.

"Yeah, how about we make like a banana and fucking run?" She says.

[OPTION SELECT]
[] Good idea.

[] Go back home.

[] Walk Kyouko back.

[] Heal.

[] Check your gem.
 
[Q] Fight fire with fire.


It's a couple updates late, but I won't be back on a computer for another few hours and the fight will probably be over by then.
 
[X] Good idea. Get clear NOW!
-[X] Check your gem once clear.
-[X] Heal ourselves + offer to heal Kyouko.
-[X] Use a GS if at >50% corruption.
[X] Walk Kyouko back.


 
[X] Good idea.
[X] GTFO
[X] Check your gem.
[X] Heals. FOR EVERYONE.
[X] Walk Kyouko back.

[J] Hey, wanna swap gems after this? I want to see what your powers are like.
 
[X] Yeah, let's not get pinned as terrorists. That's not fun.
-[X] Gems. Check yours, being blatantly obvious about it. Like, stupidly obvious. And if Kyoko doesn't check hers, just go ahead and ask her to. Subtle, we are not.
-[X] Healies for all, assuming we're far enough below the red to risk the corruption. About 30% or lower.
--[X] Use a Grief Seed. Not the new one, one of the old ones. If what we lose in despair equals what goes into the GS, dump all despair.
[X] Walk Kyoko back. Don't be pushy about it if she doesn't want you to, though.

Why wait for higher corruption? It's not like there's a set number of times we can griefdump per seed, just a set amount of grief we can dump into one seed before risking the Witch returning, right?

And can anyone translate that name? Better yet, can someone point to a place where I can do it, so I don't have to ask in the future?

Don't you just love it when the predominant vote amounts to
[X] ALL OF THE THINGS!
It's like... what's the point of the choice if we are capable of doing all of the options?

Also... we're keeping track of deaths on a per-battle basis? Thought it was total deaths up till that point.
Well, that does not bode well.
 
[x] Good idea.




Tomorrow after school, we should train with Kyoko and establish roles and strategies, because Kyoko and Sayaka both kinda just did their own thing here and could really stand to improve their teamwork.

Also get it together Kyoko the rookie's making you look bad
 
Also, this witch's name is Glauce.
Glauce, daughter of Creon. She married Jason. She was killed, along with her father, by Medea, who either sent her a peplos steeped in inflammable poison or set fire to the royal palace.[1][2] In the local Corinthian tradition, Glauce threw herself into a well in a vain attempt to wash off Medea's poison; from this circumstance the well became known as the Well of Glauce.[3] Also known by the name Creusa, predominantly in Latin authors, e.g. Seneca (Medea) and Propertius (2.16.30). Hyginus (Fab. 25) uses both names interchangeably.
 
Good News and Bad News [96]
[X] Good idea. Get clear NOW!

"Yeah." You gasp. "We need to go."

Quickly, you both run out of there as quickly as possible as the fire rages behind you. Again, nobody notices either of you leaving, and you both decide to stop in a nearby alleyway. "...Shet." She murmurs. "You alright? You look like shit."

"Yeah." You say. "I...my everything hurts right now."

-[X] Check your gem once clear.

[CORRUPTION: 14%]
Well, huh. It's not as bad as it was before. This one didn't take much before it was obliterated, you guess.

"...I don't think the other witches will be as easy." Kyouko says.

"Yeah. Me neither." You sigh.

-[X] Heal ourselves + offer to heal Kyouko.

You move your hand over your injuries, and immediately, you feel rejuvinated. Your burnt skin seems to repair itself immediately, and whatever skin was destroyed crumples and cracks before it's replaced by healthy-looking flesh. "Much better." You murmur. "Need anything, Kyouko?"

"Nah." She says, before she transforms. "Just looked a little scruffy after the fight. It was the trash, nothing else."

"You sure?" You say, before you transform back.

"Yeah." She says. "I'm fine."

-[X] Use a GS if at >50% corruption.

[CORRUPTION: 23%]
"Yeah. Good here." You say. "I should be fine if I just save my seed this time." You sigh.

[X] Walk Kyouko back.

You start walking Kyouko to her hotel, arms crossed and somewhat weary. It'll be a while until you're there; the industrial district was a twenty minute walk that you both cut down in order to run like hell over there.

[OPTION SELECT]
[] Just walk.

[] Talk to her.

[] About...
-[] Training tomorrow.
-[] Learning to work together.
-[] Getting her to school.
