Ryine sees a chance at making it to safety and he takes it while beating back a couple of turkey. Still enraged, nothing quite intelligible comes out of his mouth but the grunts and screams sound quite angry and directed towards the turkey. He slashes at two turkey while moving closer to his allies the blade whipping fiercely through the air.

Spoiler

Using another point of karma to attempt to take out 2 turkey. Then taking a 5 foot step west to hopefully prevent flanking. I'll resolve the karma myself this time.

Vladimir is not happy with this predicament. Turkeys are piled on top of each other, that part is good. The problem is that they keep coming, and somehow get through his defenses better than actual swords! When will this siege get turned around!? I know we can do it!

Trying not to let it get to him, Vlad thrusts once more from his defensive stance, not able to move for multiple reasons.

The guild's offensive power slowed as the toil of fighting pushed the individuals to their limits. They tried valiantly to stop the turkey's casting, yet everytime they took one down, another turkey would take its place completing and finishing their predecessors task. A few of the guild members watched in defeat as the last glowing ball of light winked out of existence. By this point, the magic circle was fully formed. Its lights were vibrant red and gold - a testament to the season's colors; a testament to the turkey's accomplishment.

The spellcasting of the turkeys ceased. Silence pervaded the area. The turkeys, who had once previously been engaged with the guild of Galas'nor, stopped for a moment as they all looked towards the circle. A few opportunist guild members took that chance to kill a few more turkeys, yet the turkeys didn't retaliate; they were simply too ecstatic.

The guild on the other hand, not quite so. They watched in horror as a large claw appeared from the circle, immediately crushing one of the turkeys wearing the wizard hats who had just completed the spell. There was a beastly roar; it's deep gurgling sound terrifying and awesome to behold.

"GOB GOBBLE!"
Translation: Die humans!

Aria Falavir

While the turkeys were distracted, Aria put a hand to her chest, taking that moment to heal herself. ?Uh oh~...? The elf watched as the circle was completed ? And a turkey, even larger than the beast she had fought moments ago, emerged from it. She wasn't entirely surprised by its appearance. If anything, she was annoyed that her efforts to stop the spells completion had failed.

?Oh my gosh!!? Sophie had arrived a bit late...actually, really late. She had been visiting her parents back on the farm to have a little family Thanksgiving, and the moment she came back to the guild, was greeted by a hoard of magic turkeys. Mimic squawked at them, ruffling his dark feathers. ?Not these things again.? He moaned. Noticing some of her guild mates weren't in the best of shape, she immediately  went to work mending their wounds. ?We got this you guys!? She cheered them on as she approached someone close  - Ryine.

Kin Sheel

Kin watched in a mixture of horror and awe as the giant turkey emerged from the magic circle. He nearly dropped the sword he'd just brandished. "What in the nine hells...I'd say we've solved world hunger, but we may be biting off more than we can chew with this fight."

He tightly gripped the hilt of his greatsword, then shouted, "DON'T WAVER, WE MUST PROTECT OUR HOME! GALAS'NOR!"

The halfling charged forward, flanking a turkey and taking an swift swipe at its neck.

Vladimir Ludwik

The methuselan's shoulders visibly slumped. He knew magic had progressed much in the years he had lived; his body was a testament to that. But this was beyond anyone's possible expectations. We had enough trouble with the small ones...what are we going to do about THAT. Just as he was about to lose all morale, Kin's cry rallied him. That's right, this is the only home I know, I can't let it slip away, it would mean my death! Vlad cheered after Kin, "FOR OUR HOME!"

At this point, he knew defense was not winning this battle. He needed to take a gamble, so he did. He began the dance of blades he knew so well, the style he had adopted from countless elven and swordplay texts. He wove their methods into his own style, just as his own blades now wove through the air. He began a sort of war chant, though it came out like a soft, trance-like song. It sharpened his focus well, though it was not yet perfected. However, perfection wasn't the point, considering the situation, it was now or never. With skill, and a little luck, Vladimir's blades flowed like water, striking out right where the turkeys least expected.

Spoiler

Vladimir takes a 5-ft step forward, dancing, whirling and striking the two now-flanked turkeys beside him.

Jornathel Mithraiian

Jorn could feel his magical powers beginning to wane. It would not be long before his sorcery powers would be tapped. But this was a force of enormous size and a behemoth turkey had entered the field. How that creature had come into existence was uncertain to the young sorcerer but he was certain it was not here for dinner. Delving one last time into his reserves he conjured a final missile before arming himself with blade and celestial fire.

The young elf's hand weaves a final incantation resembling the earlier symbols. Once the symbols are drawn, the blue energy fades, his form strengthens as the sword takes the lead.

Haru

The young monk was very conflicted over all the different events that had spiraled out of control over the past several years. He felt that closing that chapter of his life with the Silver Arms was necessary he had learned valuable lessons about life. He better understood the path laid before him but there was still so much to learn. He had learned of another guild during his travels, and sought them out for a new experience, new records to return home. Haru admired the symbol of the organization newly embroidered onto the freshly tailored headband. It was simple but remarkable at the same time. Without realizing it he stumbled into the midst of what could only be described as a turkey massacre. Then he took note of fellow guilders fighting in concert and looking worse for wear. Then the creature of immense size before him was seen. How had he missed such a thing of horror. The power of the kategida began to pulse, and without hesitation Haru knew his course. He shouted atop his lungs, "Brother guilders my name is Haru, I have come to help. I hope that we all shall become good friends!!!"

The large staff danced into the light footed elf's hands with ease. He wielded the staff with a familiarity that was hard to match as if it was an extension of his body. He struck the center of the staff across his knee willing the sections to separate into two equal halves,  and with another flick of his wrists the split again. The twin set of nunchaku spun within a flaring dance each section held together by a pulsing line of lightening. He danced into the fray seeking any and all turkeys who dared to stick out their necks.

Annia Siadon & Golas Rorn

"I see them! Look at that MEAT. Bahahaha!" A familiar voice said triumphantly. "If only you didn't take so long to get dressed missy!"

"It's not a dress. It's armor, a knight should always get into their armor before a fight." A voice retorted back.

"Take it from me miss, all's you ever need is a weapon and muscles!" Golas said as he jumps down into the fray.

"You need more than that. Wit, speed, reflexes-"

"Just come help me already!"

There was a loud audible sigh, but soon enough the two fighters stood side by side as they helped clear the northern end of the courtyard.

DM
The colossal turkey cocked his head to the side as it slowly made its way forward, it's feet thumping heavily on the ground, and the many smaller turkeys getting out of its way. It tmoved slowly, enjoying and biding its time, reveling in the power it had.

Chadra froze, but her fear quickly dissipated. She had faced threats like this before. She just needed... needed some rest. Then she heard it. Over the battle, over even the roar of the turkey, she picked up that sound of a dress ruffling. She looked over and saw that Dress-girl was now engaged, and at stake, in this battle. She felt that fear settle back in, and drive her forward. The beast had to be stopped... now. She tightened her grip on her sword, attempting to defeat the turkey in front of her with a single slash.

The elf sighed. As if there weren't already enough things to worry about, a colossal turkey just had to come crawling from some demented plane of existence-one likely filled to the brim with such ridiculous beasts. However, unlike the elf, the smaller turkeys seemed to be enlivened by the larger one's emergence, as if basking in their achievement-a moment of glorious triumph over Galas'nor.

Honestly, Lyolf thought while grinding his teeth. these turkeys were becoming quite annoying.

Once again eyeing the large beast that had emerged, Lyolf paused for a brief moment, a difficult and uncharacteristic expression readily apparent on his face. And though it was unlike him, the elf grit his teeth in indecision. But such uncertainty only lasted a moment and in the next, the elf stood ready, his inner demons put to rest. He then gave a slight nod towards his familiar and, as if through some unspoken agreement, Uli immediately flew back, only to land softly on the elf's outstretched arm.

But as soon as the raven and its master connected, their mental link was instantly reinforced, allowing Lyolf to draw upon an additional reserve of power within his enigmatic familiar-and he did. Without hesitation.

The elf then closed his eyes, allowing him to better visualize the surge of energy that was now pouring into him from the raven. The exchange was fast, almost unnaturally so. The process of taking energy from another was a normally tedious task after all, even if the subject was willing and aiding in the exchange. Thus, the average magus should spend minutes, hours, or even days to draw out a substantial amount of power from another form of life.

But exceptions did exist.

For one, common belief held among magi stated that the bonds formed between two close individuals enhance the process of energy exchange. It is said that the closer those individuals become, the faster and more efficient the process. However, even that wouldn't prove a suitable enough explanation for what was going on.

For when the elf opened his eyes, his body was overflowing in chi energy, to the point where shadows were bursting forth naturally from his inner self. His eyes were glowing a brilliant azure, his aura filled with shadows darker and more substantial than before, and his guild emblem, which usually remained invisible on his right hand, was now visibly glowing in the same fashion as his eyes.

He had to increase his precision, however, as Uli's power was vast. For if his chi reserves were to be compared to a great lake, then Uli would be an ocean. The sheer volume of power within the raven was staggering, but Lyolf kept drawing in more of his familiar's chi even as he connected himself with the arcane.

However, it seemed like the raven had connected with the weave first (to Lyolf's annoyance) and now an equally great source of arcane power began flowing through his veins, mixing in with the arcane energy he had collected himself. However, no normal elf's body was ever meant to wield such a level of power and to say the elf felt a headache would be a gross understatement.

Rather, it felt like his mind was splitting in two. His nerves were on fire, his skin felt as if it was burning off, and his flesh as if it was slowly being pulled apart. But Lyolf put all such concerns aside, drawing further energy within himself even as his life slowly faded from within. After all, the guild would need all the power it could get against such a preposterous monstrosity.

And with that thought in mind, Lyolf burst into motion, charging towards the over-sized turkey with all his accumulated might. He focused his mind on both chi and the arcane simultaneously as he ran, and though it strained against his very being, he struck with all the power he could bring to bear, no matter the consequence.

Actions

First, Uli moves to Lyolf's tile. Then Lyolf activates Child of Shadow before charging (not a charge attack) towards Dave with Clinging Shadow Strike. He then uses one missed turn, activates Burning Blade and launches a full-round attack against Dave by using a karma point to increase his number of attacks by one. Then, using his second missed turn, he activates Burning Blade again, launching the same kind of attack as before, and consuming another karma point.
