The green bolt of mana strikes just below the tree, causing a small seed to appear and slowly grow. Kagdinel is unable to reach it through the roots and knots, but thinking fast, he draws a small throwing knife from his bag. He draws it along the glowing vein on his arm, draining the last drops of mana from it. Kagdinel then expertly tosses the dart at the sprouting seed, striking it and burning it before it can restore the tree's strength.
OOC: I sacrifice my mountain to Flashback my Lava Dart, targeting the Kami of the Tended Garden, re-deadifying it. Also, I assume the Kami of the Hunts are still dead, and my Kitsune Blademasters are still alive (KotHs became 3/3s, but my Kitsunes are 3/3s with FS). Any more responses?

In front of you, you see a spirit wolf appear from the dark sillhouete's power.
2 Petalmane Baku
1 1/1 White Spirit Wolf token with first strike
OOC: You are up
OOC: I was alerted to the fact that Kitsune Blademasters have first strike, therefore they are still alive. Oops. Also, would you please put your status in each post.
Suddenly, an opposing blast of energy stikes down you biggest Kami (Your opponent kill your Kami of the Tended Garden with a mysterious spell.) You cannoty tell where the energy came from.
As you summon the wolf, it comes out in a different way than usual. It looks more ferocious and mystical. "The spiritual energy is effecting your summons. While in this forest, you will find the with new powers."
OOC: While here, all your creatures are spirits in addition to their other types. Any responses to the kill spell or is it still my turn.
Kagdinel focuses, causing the vein in his arm to begin glowing again. He then calls out, The enemy is weakened; now we go on the offensive. He orders the three ground samurai and one of the kitsune to attack the figure.
Since my wolf counts as a spirit, do the petalmanes get ki counters? Otherwise I'm waiting for the rest of the turn.

OOC: since Wynn doesn't know about bushido in game, it would be wrong for me to not block based on that. so...
Wynn sends her wolf to intercept the cavalry unit, while bracing herself for the rest of the blows. She had a plan with the other two spirits, although she didn't know how she knew...she had more pressing things to worry about.

The wolf intercepts one of the samurai, but the others continue running forward. As they near the so called "forest" where the Kami are coming from, they shortly disappear. They then reappear and the silhouette appears to be hurt.
OOC: Ok, this is getting confusing now becuase what one of you does is effecting what happens to the other one. Therefore, I will sometimes be doing just one of you at a time. I apologize.
Out of the trees some more spirits congregate around you. They are coming to your aid.
Wynn readied herself as more spirits came to her aid. The sigil on her arm flared up slightly as she looked at them. She recognized the aggressive kami, it seemed like it would gain strength from other spirits coming into its presence. As for the smaller ones...she knew they could sacrifice themselves to give their strength to others. No clue how she knew this information, but she knew it. Perhaps that mark on her arm was why, but at the moment there were more pressing matters. She tried to focus and draw more mana from the land, but for some reason she couldn't.
She closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could, making herself one with the air...and yet she could find no source to draw from. So all that was left was a change of tactics. Concentrating, letting the latent blue magic within her soul resonate. She could almost feel herself in a swirling orb of water, energy rushing all around her, enveloping her mind in its grasp, pulling at her body...until something snapped.
Or rather, not so much a "snap" as much as a "click".
Eyes still closed, Wynn stooped down and placed a hand firmly on the ground. Her movements were fluid, never stopping, always slow and calculated. As she lifted her hand, a sinuous stream of bright blue energy rose from the ground, following her hand's wake. a puddle soon appeared from her handprint, and from there, a small fountain of free-flowing mana. She could use this...she would have to. But she was still on the defensive, at least for now.

As the various spirits appear, Kagdinel pulls a throwing knife from his bag, and throws it at what he assumes is the head of one of the briar-looking creatures.
Strengthening his aura, Kagdinel charges the strnage, two-legged spirit and strikes it hard with his blade, scorching it's body and some of the grass around it. As he retreats, he signals for some of his soldiers to attack as well.
OOC: PLay a land, then Volcanic Hammer on the Kami of the Hunt. And I'm aware you can sacrifice the CoT to save it (even if my character may not be). I'm attacking with both of the Kitsune Blademasters.
The silhouette shoots out two bolts of flaming energy, one at the Hunting Kami and one of the young thorn kamis. The two sword wielding kitsunes then both charge you.
Wynn saw one of the small spirits set ablaze, she was able to command it to lend its strength to the larger spirit before its life extinguished. When another bolt attempted to envelop the large spirit, she didn't have to do anything, there almost seemed to be an empathic nature amongst the spirits, the children lent energy to the predator kami to let it survive the red blast.
As the two swordsmen attacked Wynn, she put her hands up in a defensive posture, unknowingly forming a set of chains which entangled one creature, while another spirit blocked the second attacker.
OOC: I assume that each bolt is enough for lethal damage. So I'll sac the burnt child to the kami of the hunt, then sac as many child of thorns as necessary to pump KotH out of burn range. Then things get complicated.
At the start of the combat phase, I'm cycling choking tethers to tap down 1 attacker, and a child of thorns chump-blocks the other attacker. If I had to sac all 4 to the KotH (meaning the second damage spell was for 5, which I hope it's not), then it will go unblocked.

OOC: You will 3 of your children to keep it alive, leaving you one to chump block with. Also, can you please post your status with you post. Thanks.
What is this that you are fighting. My children do not seem enough for to take it down. Can you see what it is? Definitely stronger than any mortal I have ever seen before.
The silhouette make no more action, his other creatures ready to defend him.
OOC: You're up
The children congregate around the Hunting Kami to give it enough power to survive.
Before the Samurai move to attack, a wave of bright energy drains life one of them as it falls down. The other is blocked by the last Child of Thorns.
OOC: One of your samurai was tapped. The other was chump blocked. You done?
Watching the kami scamper about, struggling to keep one another alive, Kagdinel can't help but chuckle. Perhaps we overestimated these Kami. We were hoping for a better fight than this.
OOC: I can really put a hold on the fighting this turn if I want/need to, but Wynn's character would try and stop a fight with her words before resorting to her spells. Not taking my turn yet.
Whatever spirit was communicating with the girl was right, this foe was quite powerful. But the way the enemy was moving, there had to be a puppeteer; someone pulling the strings. In a way she was in the same position. But perhaps she could talk this out.
"Who is out there? I am willing to stop hostilities and come to some sort of peaceful end if you agree. Please, show yourself!" Wynn takes several steps forward, straining her eyes to see any features of the shadow in front of her.
"If you continue these attacks, I can't assure the safety of your soldiers." She warned.

Seeing no other option, Wynn decides on a more...direct approach. Repeating her motions, she calls up another fountain and a phantasmal wolf. The flower-bearing spirits start glowing with energy, which were key to this plan. Drawing up all the mana she could, the mage extracted two orbs of light and two orbs of water, swirling in her hands until it exploded in a shower of disintegrating force.

You then see the two Petalmane Bakus in front of you begin to spin orbs of spirit energy and relese it around them as mana. The silhouette, still far away, appears to draw in the mana. The next thing you know, the is a massive spiritual ball growing in the middle of the battlefield. It continues to expand until it explodes, obliterating everything. All the samurai fall back, but are just returned to the AEther. You fall back slightly "What was that?! Oh, don't worry about my men. They were mostly summons anyway" You look up and it seems that the "forest" was effected as well and all the spirits have faded as well. There is a straight path to the silhouette, whose body seemed to be more clear. "What a powerful mage. I'd try to get a bit closer to see them, but keep hidden, they seem powerful."
OOC: All creatures were destoryed.
"Excellent. The path has cleared. Now go for the mage in charge"
Wynn starts jogging towards the other mage, occasionally ducking behind a tree or some other form of cover. anything that could make those kinds of fire bolts was someone she needed to exercise caution with.
OOC: Of course, she has no clue her partner is a red mage. So yeah.
