Vivian & Hashmal - Toku/Jareth/Peony/Lex/Lavitz
As Ardor threatened to knock Vivian off the beast's shoulder, Toku began chanting to continue the assault. Before the incantation was complete, however, the Sage's Earth magicks fell upon the group like twin hammers crushing them to the ground. Exhausted as he was, Toku was knocked down by the force of the spell, felt the invisible push of the magic dig into him, hard enough to bruise ribs if not fracture them outright.
The force subsided after a few seconds, but the pain had only become more intense; what had been a familar backdrop of pain now flared and bloomed with every breath, making it hard to chant. Yet no matter how much it hurt, Toku knew what he had to do.
He launched another assault of 1000 Needles on Vivian and, boosted the last shreds of the Haste spell he had woven around the party earlier, moved on to call forth Wind Slash, to buffet the monster in its moment of weakness.
