This narrow area was making it quite difficult, as well as stale, to fight the outlaw. He was being held down by multiple status ailments but his health was far from reaching red. Sooner or later he'll find a way of out this alleyway and head for the busy streets. The starchild remembers that she still has that certain skill that could hopefully pack a good punch despite her class as a defender. "I guess if I activate it after..." she trails off, the idea concrete in her head.
They had to finish this quickly, half-baked moves or not. It looks as if she abandoned her party, running out of the alley in the form of shooting star. But as she neared the exit to the main street, she makes a quick turn back to the fight. She took some damage there, the recoil of that sudden turn dealing a mild buzzing pain on her left ankle. With the attacker busy attacking the syth, she made sure to avoid her completely on her way back. Again, she makes a cut, this time on the opposite side. But just as the skill was about to vanish, alongside the buffs, she activates supernova. The attack buff from her previous skill would carry over, hopefully increasing damage.
The blue flame in her eye burned stronger, and without warning, a light envelops her form and bursts outwards with a force so strong that the crates and bins had been pushed feet away. The skill, despite causing a strong burst of power, oddly enough for her companions, would only cause them to feel around 20% of the blow. Yet their lifebars remained the same, no true damage taken. What they do receive though, is a great increase in all stats.
"I'll tap out for a while," she says weakly. Her consciousness fading as she dropped face first into the ground. At least she made it past the battle, landing a few feet from the trading site, and away from further damage to herself.

the moment she and anya had switched places, skadi had grabbed for her bow instead of her shield, drawing it back and firing rather than standing around and doing nothing. it was clear that between the three of them, anya would do the most damage, and so now that they had switched there would be a difference and yet, perhaps not enough of one. this was, after all, the only problem in having two defenders; not enough damage output across the party.
skadi blinked, bewildered when the new member turned tail and ran, uncertain what she had done to attract the type of person who would do such a thing. the anger in her abated just as quickly when the girl returned in a flash, causing her to nearly jump when Zee shot right past her. The explosion that followed washed over her, with just as much pain, and Skadi hissed and nearly took a step back, using it instead to be more firm in her stance as she continued firing.
When the girl tapped out, clearly injured or worn out from her efforts, Skadi was more than eager to push to maintain the focus of the bounty, raising her hand to set off another hailstone rain, icicles jabbing into the body of the bounty. between the both of their efforts and anya's raw damage, it shouldn't be much longer. even if it was, skadi wouldn't allow the outlaw to focus on their newfound ally.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]It didn't take long for the bounty to regain it's senses once Anya had dealt some damage, most likely snapping it out of the blindness. Who was she to say? It didn't matter in the end. "Whoa!" Anya ducked when she heard something fly from behind her, striking Quickfinger's chest. A split second was what it took to remind her that Skadi had other means to deal with the difference in range. Right, she has a bow for these sorts of situations. The Slayer stepped to the side as the sharpshooter tried it's best to create distance through butting her with the end of the gun only to miss completely. It was clear that close range combat wasn't his forte -- it was hers.
"Sorry, buddy. I got a few things to give you." Anya blew on her gauntlet, wiping the knuckles against her armor as she stepped in to deliver some blows. Using her sword, she made sure to deflect one arm away from her in case of desperate rounds to her body or some shit. Anya fired off in her own way, battering away at the synth, ignoring the gunshots. Skadi would be fine if the bullets were to come for her and as for herself, she could take a couple of rounds without too much of an issue. She had been in combat long enough to gain some resistances against the continuous damage.
It still meant that it hurt like a bitch.
Anya's jaw tightened once she had finished, backing up to see that Quickfinger was in a crappy state as well. That was when she felt something rush by her, hitting the bounty before disappearing. It was like a shooting...star? The Slayer blinked, looking back over her shoulder at her party mate who was in the worst state out of all of them. Ah, shit. That only made her more determined to finish off the troublesome boss. Anya rolled her shoulder forward, feeling a burst of energy return to her.

"The all-status buff you receive," she pants, the pain from the suicidal skill was never something she could get used to, "will last for a while." As long as the flame in her eye continues to burn means that the buffs are still in play. She hates not being able to contribute any more than she has, waiting for her health to pick back up, but she knows that her companions are at a better position now. This will soon end and they could get out of this cramped space. God, she was going straight to a saloon after this.
Zee could barely push herself up to a sitting position but she was able to do it. She turns her head to watch the fight continue, keeping a close eye on the health points of the gunslinger. Her sacrifice wasn't in vain, with the damage they're able to dish out much stronger than before. It's just a shame that she would never be able to feel that rush supernova gives. Feeling only the damage and never the reward was so self-sacrificing, she could be in line for sainthood.
She's tuckered out but seeing them care for her condition was nice. Others would just take advantage of the buffs, not caring about how low her health was and how near to death she could be. The starchild laughs a bit. Who would've thought she'd meet people like them over an accident. She could only hope that the others wouldn't think badly of her by the end of this. She usually didn't care about stuff like that but for some reason she wanted to show these women that she wasn't less that she truly was. Gross, Coco. Really sappy.

it shouldn't be much longer now. snowball effect was starting to kick in now that the battle had lasted as long as it had, quickfinger aiming for her rather than anyone else - good. that was something she could handle, the bullets easy to trade with her strong defense. with their disadvantageous terrain, the buffs from the starchild had probably made all the difference in the battle. skadi's arrows hit true, whittling down the health as best as she could.
she could have done more up close, perhaps, but she knew she had made the right decision in tagging out with anya. it was night and day how the slayer had gone from vulnerable at a ranged distance to doling out most of the damage against the sharpshooter. for that, skadi was more than willing to take a few bullets and not be entirely in her prime. when the girl spoke, she just began to shoot arrows faster. it was nice to know there was no pressure before the buff wore off, but she had no interest in giving the bounty a chance to change targets. "any moment now," she announced as his health ticked ever lower towards the red.
she did not stop attacking, but she trusted anya to finish it.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]A buff, huh? Anya smiled, bringing her sword up in front of her to give warning to the Quickfinger. With Zee safely behind them, the synth was free to flee. The moment that it had fired off at her instead, Anya brought up both her sword and gauntlet in front of her to take the worst of it. A few bullets had gotten her in the shoulder and leg, but hell, it was going to take more than that to stop her. Taking in a breath, Anya moved swiftly jumping off the side of a wall right at the fleeing Quickfinger. Oh, hell no.
Holding her sword with the blade facing downwards, the Slayer landed herself right on top of the wanna-be cowboy's shoulders. The weight of her had brought him down flat on the ground. He struggled and bucked under her only to be pinned firmly with her knees against his arms. Anya started to let out a few 'tsk,
tsk, tsks' at the bounty. With a little fancy twirl of her sword, Anya drove the weapon down into the shooter's body leaving it there until it's body turned to pixels. In it's place, coin surrounded her like she had struck gold.
"Holy shit..." she whispered.

It was finally over. The flurry of attacks had left her sitting in awe, eyes blinking in disbelief that they were able to get rid of the synth in one of the worse battlegrounds she has ever been in. But still, their little group has reached its end. Having gotten out of the red levels, and into the orange, she was able to get up on her feet and walk towards the two in front. Seeing the pile of coin was a wonderous thing. If she had done this with someone else, it probably wouldn't end this nicely. There'd be shouting and arguments over everything.
She sighs in relief. "Thanks for tagging along," she says somehow embarrassed, scratching the back of her head.
"That sure was interesting!" She smiles all bright and happy despite the burning sensation still present throughout her body. With a few swipes in the air, she had left the guild and then the party. This was all just an accident anyway, and although she enjoyed their company, being a part of something permanently never did her much good. Many have said she was a wild one, hardly staying in the same place for too long. Sure she was cooperative but she could never muster the courage to be in a group. Getting too involved also had its cons, especially in this world.
Instead of leaving without a trace, as she usually did, Zee sends the two women a friend request. It'd be a shame to walk out on the very few people who were both capable and seemingly genuine. "Let's hang out again sometime!" She gives them a wide, over-exaggerated wave before speeding out of the alley. Once she was out of sight, she slowed down to blend in with the crowd of fool's errand. With coin in her pocket, she could spend the night in one of the ritzier parts of town.

it was done. anya struck true, and skadi lowered her bow and took a step back, thoughtful. given the terrain, her opinion of the girl was high. they should have had a much more difficult time than they had, in her opinion. when the starchild came close, she glanced at her, curious. her health was still low, but skadi wasn't worried; the regen would kick up now that the battle was over. she glanced towards the healthy amount of monetary reward at anya's feet.
before she could consider asking if the woman was alright, she had left the guild first and the party second. skadi blinked once, but, well. easy come, easy go. it wasn't as though she would have turned down the bounty party to begin with. even if it was meant to be taken personally, if they weren't a good fit then there was nothing skadi could do about that.
"i'd like that." she answered to the starchild's offer to hang out another time, looking to anya and resting a hand on her shoulder before she knelt down to sort through the loot. it seemed like it was only coin that resulted from the bounty, although the word only seemed to sell the reward short. there was a lot of it; more than enough that skadi could comfortably split her share between her personal and guild funds.
all in all, a good day's work.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Anya returned her sword back into it's sheath before she dug her hands into the coin. She wasn't going to take all of it, of course, it was to be shared. All she wanted to do was check if it was real. It felt like dream to be paid again and handsomely at that. The last time she had gotten this much coin from killing a monster was her first time. Anya felt herself bubble up with joy, bursting out in a laugh as she tossed up the coin happily. "We can eat for a full month off of this!" she declared, oblivious to their second defender's absence.
With Skadi's hand resting on her shoulder, Anya stiffened up briefly before calming down under the familiar touch. She looked towards the woman picking up the gold coins, her eyebrow raised. "Where'd that scamp go? Hey! If you don't pick up the loot, I'm not going to share!" she called out, head turning to check where Zee had gone off to only to find her missing. After checking both the guild and party rosters, the woman's expression fell feeling slightly disappointed that the girl had gone. Anya had taken a liking to her in the short time that they were partied; it was a real shame.
Still, she wasn't going to hold it against the girl. If she had other places to be and other things to do, then hell, she could only wish her luck. Anya grinned from ear to ear as a friend request was received just after her thoughts concluded. Without another thought, she accepted. Scooping up the rest of the coin after Skadi had taken her share, Anya decided to send half of it over to Zee. After all, it was a team effort that had gotten them the victory.
