Don'tcha Mess Wit Da Voodoo [Nat]

[Nathalia]

Gaston had actually run a few paces after Vib before good sense kicked in and told him to pull the brakes before he sank in the mire like the Pony probably would.
"Oh... Oh damn! What brought that on?" He asked in shock, staring at the dropped spear before turning back to his remaining companion, Pali.
He recoiled in horror as the ground beneath her feet suddenly erupted into flames and the girl screamed.
Before Gaston could even lurch toward her, his ears flattened at the thud behind him,
Two aborted movements in different directions nearly left him on his backside in the muck.

And then the entire swamp exploded in white light and hot gas.
He heard his companion cry out again as her light little body went flying from the force and he was forced to drop and roll, eyes stinging, and nose twitching...something...
He leaped to the side in a flash, his back complaining but complying, moving as fast if not faster than any Spade as he activated his King's Ability and used his outstretched hands to stop himself from crashing.
There was something there, he could smell it and he could tell it was a threat from the attacks, he had to keep moving...he'd find his little friend later.
The smell of rot nearly overpowered his senses as he fought to regain his sight, little dots fading from his vision as he swung around.

Pali uncurled from around the tree limb she'd grabbed, gagging and struggling to breathe from the impact and the smell.
Her weapon was still clutched tightly in her paw and she struggled to see, completely unaware that she was right over the witch's head...


------------------------------------------------

- King's Ability -
He is heartily agile and highly charismatic. The leaps and bounds he takes are beyond what normal bodies are capable of and his flexibility rivals that of most felines. His bones are extremely tough to break and his muscles painfully limber.

Meecha had to resist the urge to break into wild laughter as she watched her prey scatter through the blinding light. For now she still had the element of surprise and she held to it firmly despite her great mirth at their misery.

Her target stood before her, poised to fight but still blinded and disoriented, but from above there came the soft sound of wheezing and gagging. Meecha scowled. It wasn't safe to leave the little wretch dangling up in the tree above her head, but her prey was right before her and she was loosing time deliberating. She activated her Fear ability against the petite woman, hoping she might become overwhelmed and run into the mire like their friend. Or, if nothing else, it'd slow the little wretch down while she focused on the antlered card.

The hag rushed forward, bare feet light over the dirt, and lunged to impale the beast. (Rolled a 14 for her attack)


Small Ability: Once a week, she is able to cause another Card to feel as though the creature casting this spell is the most terrifying thing they have ever seen for a full ten seconds. This spell can be conquered if the Card in question has bravery boosting spells, and Queens will be relatively unaffected.

Gaston felt all the hair on his body, a considerable amount, stand on end.
His sight slowly faded back in and he whipped around, lashing out as fast and hard as he could behind him (14), his blow aimed low to take whatever it was off at the knees...he hoped.

Just as he'd made it halfway about, something slammed into his arm, making a deep cut, before being forcibly caught and yanked back out. (13)
He released the weapon, it seemed like...a spear?, and finally caught a glimpse of what was attacking him.
He nearly laughed.

"Naha! Calm yourself, dear lady." He called, reaching into his belt and pulling out a small parcel, flinging it down on the ground so that it exploded, a small eddy of dust forcing its way about five feet off the ground and whirling right at Meecha!

Cough Powder: Exactly what it says on the tin; this little eddy of powder will target one SD and force them to cough hard for 20 seconds, making their eyes water up and their movements jerky, before ceasing. One use only.

Up in the tree, Pali froze in absolute horror and clung to her tree branch hard enough to break the little finger on her left hand as the spell gripped her.
She could not think, she could not move, until the spell passed.

Meecha didn't have time to stop as the blade came whizzing at her. She managed to twist just enough to avoid having serious damage done to her legs, but the blow was enough to leave stinging cuts across her shins. (6) Cretin! He'd pay for that! Meecha activated her pain ability and intended to give the spear a good twist in punishment but the much larger beast had managed to pull it out before hand.

The petite hamster's rage far outmatched her size.

She lurched back, sneering at his casual response, but wasn't prepared for the tin to explode. Stupid, stupid outsider! An explosive cough tore itself from her, making her eyes water as she stumbled further from the creature with wide, furious eyes. "Feh! I can play dose games too, Outsider." Her words were fractured by coughs but it only took a snap to get Lao's attention.

The tove had been watching from the trees, as he often did, and now it dove straight down to latch onto the back of Gaston's great head. The simple lick wouldn't seem like much at first, but it was promptly followed by a vicious, tusk-aided chomp to the ear. (10)

She kept her distance while choking on that vile powder, but by the time it was done he'd be itching like a madman and then the joke would be on him! HA.

As the cough finally began to subside, Meecha let out a furious cackle and rushed the antlered Outsider once more. This time she wasn't playing, she was going to ram the spear through his inner thigh and twist. (15) It might even give her enough time to grab her hunting knife and castrate the bastard for daring to cut her!


Basic Magical Ability: She can ignore moderate amounts of pain for up to ten minutes.

Tove Ability: It's tongue has small pustules on it that break upon contact with another creatures fur or skin. This oozes pus onto them when he licks them, giving them an uncontrollable itching spasm for one minute..
