Griffin vs. Amore Manor

(Persona Change -Auto-)
(Lunge -roll 54- Success!)

As Griffin swapped his persona, he was once again tackled by Daphne's Mandrake.


Griffin: 16 Willpower + Alraune
Daphne: 19 Stamina + Mandrake

"Ack, hey now!" He shooed away Mandrake before making his move, tossing his knife as Alraune whipped up powerful winds into a small tornado around Daphne.

-Lacerating Twister-

(Lacerating Twister -roll 53- Fail!)
(Lunge -roll 98- Crit Success!)

Mandrake knocked the knife aside. The wind resistant persona then charged through the gale and slammed into Griffin's gut.


Griffin: 13 Willpower + Alraune + Stunned
Daphne: 19 Stamina + Mandrake

She knocked the air out of his lungs with that last one, sending him reeling and leaning against Daphne's bed for support. "Th-That never... works!"

(Pulinpa -roll 89- Crit Fail!)


Daphne stumbled as she was his with a headache for failing her spell. "Neither does that, apparently."



Griffin: 13 Willpower + Alraune + Disarmed
Daphne: 18 Stamina + Mandrake

"Maybe I just need to slow you down first then!" A wave of exhaustion swept over Daphne, threatening to put her at a disadvantage.

-Old Ones-

(Old Ones -roll 17- Fail!)
(Lunge -roll 27- Fail!)

Daphne easily shook off the effect so the spell, but her counter attack missed by a very wide margin.



Griffin: 13 Willpower + Alraune + Disarmed
Daphne: 18 Stamina + Mandrake

"Damn, this really isn't going well for me!" He sent a flurry of powerful winds her way to blow her back, planning to make a break for his knife after.

-Garula-

(Garula -roll 39- Fail!)
(Lunge -roll 18- Success!)

The wind resistant Mandrake powered through the spell and tackled Griffin again.



Griffin: 11 Willpower + Alraune + Disarmed
Daphne: 18 Stamina + Mandrake

"Well, at least I don't have to worry about how well you control Mandrake," he sighed, pretty much losing faith he'd win this. Fate just really wanted to take him for a ride these days and she wasn't changing her tune anytime soon. "Well, I'll just have to keep at it."

-Gale Thrust-

(He's still Disarmed.)

Garula then()

(Garula -roll 83- Fail!)
(Pulinpa -roll 2- Crit Success!)

Daphne was quicker on the draw and cast Pulinpa before he could cast his own spell. The confusion overcame him and scrambled his thoughts.



Griffin: 11 Willpower + Alraune + Disarmed + Stunned + Confused
Daphne: 18 Stamina + Mandrake

"All aboard the taco train, hot sauce and beans optional, but if you don't choose them, you're a WEAKLING!!" he shouted as confusion took his mind.

(Lunge -roll 97- Crit Fail!)

"Are... Are you okay?" Daphne asked as she looked at him with concern.


Griffin: 11 Willpower + Alraune + Disarmed + Confused
Daphne: 17 Stamina + Mandrake

He shook his head, still lost to his dizzying condition. "SomeBODY once told me~!" he stomped his feet onto the floor in time with the beat as he sang a song no one in this world was likely familiar with.

-Struggle -> Rearm-

(Recover -roll 50- Success!)
(Rearm -roll 44- Success!)
(Lunge -roll 50- Success!)

Griffin finished his song and dance before he snapped out of his trance. He went for his knife, but, as soon as he grabbed it, he was once again tackled by Daphne's persona.



Griffin: 9 Willpower + Alraune
Daphne: 17 Stamina + Mandrake

Weaving wind into the knife, he made a lunge of his own. "I'm fine, just the Pulinpa, that's all."

-Gale Thrust-

(Gale Thrust -roll 90- Crit Success!)

The wind enhanced thrust knocked Daphne off of her feet and she landed on her butt. The eldest Daughter of Amore quickly scrambled back to her feet before her opponent could take advantage of this however.


Griffin: 9 Willpower + Alraune
Daphne: 15 Stamina + Mandrake

"Nice, finally got off a shot with that! Now let's try this one one more time!" He sent a flurry of winds twisting around Daphne, taking his knife with them.

-Lacerating Twister-

(Lacerating Twister -roll 59- Fail!)
(Lunge -roll 87- Crit Fail!)

Griffin threw his knife, but Mandrake threw itself in front of the blade and took the hit before it could cut Daphne.


Griffin: 9 Willpower + Alraune + Disarmed
Daphne: 14 Stamina + Mandrake

"Oy vey, that move never works," he sighed, attempting to tire out Daphne now.

-Old Ones-

(Old Ones -roll 87- Crit Fail!)
(Basic Attack -roll 38- Success!)

"You seem to say that about a lot of your spells." Daphne said as she picked up his knife and interrupted his casting by tapping him on the head with the hilt.


Griffin: 7 Willpower + Alraune + Disarmed
Daphne: 14 Stamina + Mandrake

"Yeah I don't know what's wrong with me today. So many of my attacks won't hit," he replied glumly. He sat himself on Daphne's bed for a moment to catch a quick break.

-Skip-

(Welcome to My Garden -roll 78- Success!)

"We all have off days." Daphne told him as she sat down next to him and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.


Griffin: 5 Willpower + Alraune + Disarmed
Daphne: 14 Stamina + Mandrake
