welp I just got on today and still missed the vote oh well I would have voted for
[X] Maybe a change of plan is in order.
-[X] Lower your altitude so it can't keep jump directly at you and still land on the cliffsides.
anyway so it doesn't really matter.
maybe for shield we use phantom block for a name? it keeps with the theme we have or we could have nothing there and just call it a shield or something.
Alright, let's see how it does when it can't get a running start. You send to Eliza as you lower yourselves closer to the top of the canyon. That accomplished, you manage to fire some shots off at the charging Lost Logia before it closes in.
As several of your Phantom Sparks slam into the charging monstrosity, you idly muse that the other advantage of moving down to this altitude is the flat ground making horizontal shooting more effective.
[Damage: 58; Total Damage: 90; Remaining Health: ???]
Unfortunately, while your attacks have slowed it down somewhat, you again find yourself on the defensive as the beast leaps at you.
This time, you manage to (barely) dodge the majority of his metallic orbs, and none of his attacks managing to penetrate your shield.
As the wolf-shaped lost-logia flies past you, you can't help but feel a bit satisfied as you note it's trajectory will end in it slamming into the canyon wall.
You're significantly less amused as the thing rotates impossibly in midair, and lands into a run down the semi-circular canyon wall. Well, that's annoying. Any Ideas? ???: 55+30=85 We could try a binding spell, but I don't know how well it would work with those orbs to help it. Using a cartridge might help.
You take a moment to ponder that as you watch the annoying thing begin to climb up the other side of the canyon.
[] Eh, we're already winning; why mess with what works?
-[] While loading a cartridge for some stopping power.
[] Sure, let's give the binding spell a try.
-[] Loading a cartridge just to be sure.

GM's Note: I think one of you is confused who the Roadrunner is here.
welp I guess we keep going with what we are doing now, trying to use a binding spell makes me think of trying to use a pokeball on a pokemon while its still in the green.

Looking at how the things are going, we could either go for an attrition battle or prepare for an one-hit-ko. Considering that we don't need much def at the moment but need a lot of atk, i would rather go for full-casting one instead of attrition, where the boss will use his special gimmick. Or if he uses it after a bind, at least we are better than if we were attrited.

To clarify further, you use binding spells to hold them there for the 2-3 second you need to wind up a Buster attack
Because between the setting speed boosts and barrier jackets you need the Busters to actually put down most opponents and they're too hard to hit.
Thankfully, despite it's annoyingly acrobatic fighting styles, the thing still has to (at least somewhat) follow the laws of physics. Which is something you eagerly exploit.
[Damage: 91(rolls) +100(cartridge boosts)= 191; Total Damage: 281/275]
Your Phantom Sparks slam into it's body one, after the other after the other.
Fun fact: Shooting spell volleys can do as much damage as a Buster spell, assuming your enemy's defenses don't negate the less-focused attack (more sometimes due to the spread out nature of the attack).
The two of you watch as the monster crashes to the bottom of the canyon, it's form fighting a losing battle to stay together.
Okay, time to seal this thing.
Yes, M-Vivian. Sealing Mode!
You watch as your rifle-shaped device shifts into something resembling a cross between a futuristic leaf-blower and flame-thrower.
Then the fireworks begin.
Name your sealing spell?
[] Nah. It's not like you'll use it all that often.
[] Fetter Lock
[] Spectral Prison

As you cast your spell, your Belkan triangle appears underneath the beast before streamers of magic erupt from the 'muzzle' of your device. They quickly reach out and envelop the monstrous wolf and the entire thing begins to glow.
The two of you can feel the lost logia's feeble attempt to resist the binding, even as you methodically overpower the enchantments placed upon the host and forcibly revert the broken object into a dormant state.
A fist-sized orb is extracted and sucked into the muzzle, accompanied by Eliza's. Sealing Successful. luck check: 75
Also, lying on the ground where the beast once did is what appears to be an injured and unconcious Midchildian wolf-pup.
A quick examination shows that it's injuries seem to have been caused by some kind of wild animal, likely before the Lost Logia activated.
It also appears to be undernourished.
What will you do?
[] See if anyone from the tourist group/guide station is a veterinarian. (Luck Roll; Difficulty: Low-Moderate)
[] Attempt to use your own healing magic. (Medical Roll; Difficulty: Moderate)
[] Cast a stasis spell. (Spellcraft Roll; Difficulty: Moderate-High)
[] Make the pup your familiar. (Spellcraft Roll; Difficulty: Low-Moderate)

GM's Notes: I was actually expecting the fight to last longer, but you guys rolled well with both your attack and damage.
As usual, Voting will be open until
Edit: The pup has brown fur, as far as you guys can tell
Edit 2: Whoops! Got some of the potential rolls switched in the last vote.
