Ancient Vows

Apr 22, 2009

The six of us gathered in Jeuno.
At the last minute, we decided to change up our battle plan to make the best use of the jobs everyone was well trained on.
Mishi would be our Red Mage. Shagrath would be Puppetmaster. Ghrenn as the valiant Paladin. Microcuts as Blue Mage. Feofi as Dragoon.
I dressed White Mage with black mage support and gathered together the necessary supplies.
Three Yagudo Drinks.
One re-raise earring.
Sha-chan had some hi-ehter and prism powder for me.
I took a deep breath and stepped out of the Jeuno rent-a-room I had been preparing in.
There they were, my friends smiling up at me as I descended the stairs to greet them.
Eager to face the challenge that lay before us.
I was excited if even a little nervous.

We made our way to Riverne Site A01.
I reminded everyone that Hippogryph would be able to detect us by sight, even if we had the invisible enchantment up.
Warning was also given of creatures that could detect magic as well as sight.
Our maps were not great, only vague marker points. A displacement there, some creatures to avoid here...

The riverne was simply beautiful!
It was hard to keep up while looking around and admiring the lush green grass, the clear blue sky, and the other floating islands that seemed scattered in every direction.
How could they have come to exist that way? Some sort of ancient magic?
Or perhaps something unseen to my untrained eye allowed them to hover in the heavens so?

We easily found our way through without incident!
I was very thankful for that, remembering past thrown together groups who couldn't avoid monsters at all.
No more of that madness. Now we six were a team! Feofi, Ghrenn, Microcuts, Mishi, Shagrath and I. =^_^=

Once at Monarch Linn, we went over the battle plan.
We needed something known as "yellow liquid".
According to my big book of All Things Vana'diel by Wiki Clopedia, if we defeated one of these Mammet's, we would be able to snatch this liquid from it's pockets.
We chose to try that and slew one. In fact, Red Mage Mishi-moon was the last party member standing!
( /cheer Mishi!!!! You're awesome!)
However, it held no yellow liquid!
We were slightly perplexed, but refused to let this little set back kill our conviction!

After resting and plotting, we decided we could handle these foes without the liquid.
We would give it our all.
If we fell, so be it.

Before charging in, I gave the party protection and shell enchantments. As well as haste to Sha-chan.
I knew he intended to do battle with one of the mammets on his own, with only Lobo to assist him.
A chill crept up my spine at the thought of not being able to run to his aid should something happen, but he had told me not to.
That Lobo would take good care of him. Not to worry. And most of all, if I did assist him, I would pull hate and probably be really injured as a result.

Ghrenn, Mishi and Feofi raced forth. Ghrenn assaulted one mammet.
Microcuts got the attention of another mammet, and ran off from the main group with me in tow.
My task was to keep Micro alive until Ghrenn, Mishi and Feofi had disposed of their foe.
Sha-chan took the attention of the final mammet and ran away from the rest of us to battle it.

As planned, Feofi, Mishi and Ghrenn slew their enemy first.
They came to help Microcuts and I finish off the one we had been fighting.
Shagrath was holding his own amazingly! <3 Nevertheless, we all went to help him destroy our final foe! Ghrenn used his Invincible ability just for giggles! None of us needed to use our super special abilities, actually. Though, I was ready to use Benediction should the situation present itself. It truly was a flawless fight! I couldn't have asked to face these enemies with a better group! <3 Thank you all, I look forward to facing any challenge with the five of you! =^_^=
