Such a sudden shift... Just a moment ago, things were unsettling, but overall, there was no suspicious activity. And suddenly, the forest closes in behind them, and the trees decide to declare war. This rhythmic creaking, approaching from all sides... And what did the baron's pupils do to deserve such treatment from nature? The guys were running around, trying to take better positions, trying to break through... I was worried about Dani, who seemed to have successfully returned to the group after being separated from it earlier, but he was quickly buried under branches that "shot" out of the thicket, like a multitude of sharp harpoons. Reinold would run off somewhere to fight and help others, then come back barely alive, and Gulveig would only have time to cast healing spells on him: — Live, live! Once, she even had to do it blindly, with that stupid wooden sap. Shino, standing nearby, apparently seemed very dangerous to the dendroids because of her fire magic, so she also managed to get her fair share of "Live, live!". And yet, Gulveig alone was clearly not enough as a combat healer. Both Shino and Ren held out almost to the end, but they couldn't manage it. The samurai was luckier, which was critically important – all hope was placed on his first aid after the battle. Gulveig herself felt somewhat offended – that the dendroids almost completely ignored her, as if she were nothing. Well, or too full of something? However, putting jokes aside, the reason was more likely their duo with Kalentia – together, they were difficult to seriously injure, even with such a large number of opponents. Poor Anselm and Imelda... They inspired the fight so well, cutting through the ominous, stale air of the forest thicket with their music... And even Veserod almost joined them, but he still managed to break out of the encirclement, being seriously wounded, and continue to help his allies. Yes, the archer may not have been the most charismatic leader, but he was clearly in his element, and his commands were getting better with each time. In general, everyone showed themselves well... Eir and Rohey formed an amazingly powerful attacking duo; they probably inflicted the most damage. Anders, with Dani's crossbow, really got going towards the end of the battle, simply splitting the wounded dendroids into small splinters. It seems that even Alessia got so angry at some point that she almost attacked one of the trees with a knife. When the spirit healed the fallen, Gulveig took a deep breath. — Live... Oh, I mean, Mother, thank you. And thank you, forest miracle... Well, that's it now," the girl took some cookies out of her bag and started chewing them. It's amazing, and what it all was... However, it's not a fact that their mission is over – they need to wait for commands and comments from Veserod. And for now, Vegi looked at the remaining branches torn from the dendroids, to see if there were any green and relatively alive ones – who knows, maybe something would grow out of them if they were put in water...
Mostly it was Ment and me, although Lock also helped out at the beginning. Basically, we kept each other from making certain mistakes. Although there were times when we supported each other's not-so-great ideas, especially in retrospect. Nevertheless, we managed to win, somehow.
We managed it after all, and we didn't even need to use any healing potions 👍
Here's how much "wood" everyone chopped:
Eyr - 8
Veserod, Anders - 5
Ryohei - 4
Shino, Kalentia, Renold - 1
Turns out Gungnir orchestrated all of this to ensure he had enough fuel for the heating season.
