OOC: alright, to get this moving again, I'm just going to finish the battle.<br/><br/>Ochu group:<br/>Grimoires blade strikes clean through the frozen section of the enraged plant monster, dealing significant damage to the organs underneath the already weakened spot.  The Kusarigama thrown by the stranger twists at just the right moment to catch the beast between the eyes and deeply embeds itself within the creatures skin.  Tanami rushes in for the kill, dodging attack after attack as the ochu dances around, causing havoc.  She gathers energy into the palm of her free fist and slams it into the creature, sending the magical attack into it at point blank.  A flash of inspiration hits all three warriors at once as they feel a link form between them. In the span it takes for the link to form, each member instinctively performs part of a combo attack that finishes off the creature for good.<br/>(OOC: if you want we can actually come up with a combo move for Tanami, the Stranger, and Grimoire, or we can just declare this a one-time event.)<br/><br/>Zerg group:<br/>a group of cops arrive at the scene and tend to the injured civilians. A few of them take aim at the hydralisk but hold their fire because Vicky is too close to the creature, but it doesn't matter anyway. Her strength prevails in finishing the creature off as her fist impacts its chitonous shell. "It would appear the cavalry has arrived, late as usual," the girl reading the book says in a disinterested tone, as she quietly turns a page. A few cops approach the team and the highest ranking officer speaks, "Good job dealing with that rabble. Who amongst you is the leader?"
