CAVE STATUS
QUESTS/EVENTS
Torrential downpours cause localized flooding and many upset cats. Along with these frequent rain, from gentle drizzles to heavy rainfall, there seems to be a flux of Magicka drawn in particular to water sources. Occasional jet streams of warm air make narrower tunnels harder to navigate. On occasion, the rain intensifies, becoming howling storms with sleet or large hail. However, the temperatures overall are a little warmer, with snow and ice in temperate caves somewhat receding.
Even if he was a Lesser Gembound he'd probably still would've dodged... Birds are smart when it comes to these things, more so with him being a member of the corvid family a very particular smart kind even for birds. So things probably would've turned out similar even if was a Lesser.
Glaring down at it when it seemed to have stopped the moment he used his Spell, waiting to see if it'll actually answer, it seemed to have had some reaction to his voice from the Spell maybe it knows what words were after all? He might be willing to hear out, even though what they did there was just vile...
He was caught by surprise when it just leaped at him, not even bothering to respond to what he said... Not a word. He had such naive hope of stopping this without force that his guard was strongly down from it so it wasn't quite annealed for defence right now, so he didn't have time to stop being clamped by its paws and being forced down to the ground.
His warning was ignored... No choice force it is... He went through this whole pinning thing before with Mosi and this time he had more than Budge to handle things. He's thrown whole bodies before with the more advanced versions of Budge so he'll be able to do this. Gem shaking and his determination to deal with this promptly is making his Gem glow a bit and his eyes too being able to see the feline better as he prepares to throw the whole body off him. He won't know where they'll land or hit if it works though.
Round: 5/5
Attack: Throw the whole body off him with Phantom Hold!
Defenses: Light shining in the feline’s eyes.
Injuries: Small sores. And back hurting from being thrown down to the ground.
Good, he had the stupid annoying bird right where he wanted it! HA! What was it gonna do now? He could kill it easily, and was just about to lunge down for its face when suddenly he was shoved backwards and stumbled off and away from the bird, as if someone with hands had pushed him. But… even that wasn’t quite what it had felt like. No. This had felt more like someone had… somehow grabbed his innards, as well as his whole body, and moved him elsewhere forcefully, as if he’d temporarily lost control of himself.
Whatever had just happened, though, it had been weak, and he hadn’t gone more than a foot away from the bird. He was pretty disoriented from being randomly picked up against his will, and he shook his head confusedly, and then growled loudly and snapped his head around to locate the bird. Without thought, he launched himself once more at the corvid, this time head-first, in an attempt to bite its face! He was quickly losing stamina and he knew that if he didn’t do damage this time, it would be over. He was too tired to continue.
Round: 5/5
Attack: Attempt to bite raven in the face!
Defenses: none
Injuries: shortness of breath, rather off-balance from Phantom Hold
NOTE: REGARDLESS OF THE NEXT MOVE, WHETHER BASSA INJURES ALBEON OR NOT, I HAVE GIVEN ALICE ENIGMA COMPLETE PERMISSION TO MURDER MY CHARACTER, AS THIS WAS THE POINT OF THE THREAD. ALICE DOES NOT NEED TO ROLL TO DO SO, AS THE FIGHT IS OFFICIALLY OVER AFTER THIS POST SINCE IT HAS BEEN 5 ROUNDS.

MAGICKA LEVEL 70% RESTORED TO 100%
When it eerily got its face closer to his, fangs out bare full on intending to do what it did to that poor innocent mouse and what Mosi wanted to do to him when they first met, that's when the surge of power got activated with the opponent being thrown off him, not that far though... He doesn't get why Telekinesis isn't being so cooperative for him... Unless that isn't Telekinesis and it's another more advanced version that's harder to master, wouldn't surprise him he gets Spells left and right, and now he thinks about it his earlier attempt at Whisper seemed different too.
Standing back up he eyes his target, last time this happened he seemed to have knocked the last savage out and left them be in hopes they learnt their lesson. But it seems that this one didn't get knocked out, as they get back up and still hasn't learnt their lesson and is utterly beyond reason, their body seems to be less anneal after that Spell though.
Charging straight for him, not learning from last time the face was very close this time, enough for his talons to reach. Just a foot away from an idiotic attempt to rush towards him and bite his face, which is not smart with the sharp Gem he has on his head. Leaping up with his wings again to avoid, completely within reach of this feline still as they can easily just grab his leg with their teeth with the small altitude he is at. Which is what he wants as the moment he was next to its head his talons were out again and this time he although reluctantly... Managed to sink his sharp weapon talons into the fur, soft flesh & skull of the feline's head, when he roughly retracts them from the feline's head Albeon makes a backflip of sorts in the air with his scarf twirling with him when he retracted the talons in a swift attempt to put some distance between the two before the feline can retaliate. Hopefully they'll back off now... Right...?
The cat was just too slow and clumsy and tired and the raven lifted into the air right before he managed to bite it. But instead of taking off like Bassa thought he would, the bird instead sank his talons deep into his head, somehow getting around the Onyx on the top between his ears, and left deep gashes on either side. The cat screeched in pain, feeling the talons rip upwards through his flesh as the corvid let go and backflipped away from him. Blinded by pain, he clawed uselessly at the air, but there was nothing there. Feeling defeated, the cat turned to flee, blood dripping into his eyes and down his face as he ran.
The movements of the feline were sloppy, well at least they aren't falling over nothing even while in this state, unlike a certain someone. In spite of this he finds strong amusement in that screech... Yes, that's right, that's what it felt like for those poor mice... Horrible isn't it? Perhaps if you didn't do such vile things then you won't have to go through with something like this. When he retracts his anneal talons and first sees the feline for some reason claw at the air like it was trying to swat at him even though he already moved away. Seeing the feline run off he feels like they have learned their lesson at last, he'll follow to ensure it doesn't try and kill other innocents though... And so he follows slowly behind in his flying.
Tags: @Bassa Side Notes: I’ll choose to have Bassa die of his wounds while Albeon is following.
"Listen I'm speaking right now!"
And that's a good thing...
It means there's hope and potential in one's Future.
Death came slowly for the cat, who was unaware that Albeon’s talons had dug deeper into his head than he thought, and he was bleeding out all over the place. That, plus the fact that he was almost constantly hiding from others, meant that he was very underweight. He didn’t get much of a chance to hunt since there was so much activity going on in the Caves and he never wanted to be seen. And now these wounds… His running slowed to a walk as pain throbbed in his head, and he looked down to see the blood on the ground. He did not notice the raven that was following him.
Then his walk slowed, and he moved as if drunk, unsteady and meandering, unsure of where he was going. His vision began to blur, and an odd coldness seeped into his bones and made him tired, so he lay down, as if to sleep. He put his head on his paws, closed his eyes, and then his breathing stopped. To the casual observer, it seemed as if he were merely napping. But, in the reality, one of the oldest members of the Cave was now dead.
[End and Exit Ji’Bassa. RIP.]
Words: 203 @Albeon -- you may have Al do whatever to his body or continue the thread or exit or w/e you want.
Following this savage in hopes it learned their lesson by now, if they have he'll let them be. Since this is perhaps the first feline he has seen and being a naive idiot Albeon doesn't realize just how underweight the feline is, and since he was apathetic to this feline's reasons for doing what they did he really didn't bother to pay attention in regards to things now. The feline finally stopped running from him, must think the corvid is too far to see.
But now his smug, gleeful confidence of doing the caves a bit better vanished in confusion & small concern of the gait the feline is now in. Wait... Why is he concerned?! It just committed a vile act why is he feeling this obnoxious empathy for it?! He never felt this way in regards to Mosi! And then he saw that it went into a slump and strangely started to... Nap?
Landing on the ground next to it to see what is happening, pushing a little with his head which made it roll to the side with ease as it's paw went off its body and onto the ground, with no resistance as it just went limp... Oh gods... No way... It wasn't that bad... Wait why he even bothered about this, it was killing things for no reason... But... He was hoping it'd learn not to do it. He thought to himself one time when he met Baratheon...That he is no way no how a murderer, guess he is one now... His head down in shame of what he has just done. He flew away in silence... Maybe breaking a few stars will make him feel better.
