Characters: Bartz Klauser and OPEN
Where: Calm Plains
When: February 3rd-7th
Summary: Monster catching silliness
Warnings: none

{The monster arena sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun, so Bartz is excited to contribute. Over the next week, he can be found on the calm plains, monster catching equipment in hand. He set off to do this on his own, but he'd certainly welcome any help people wanted to give. Feel free to run into him wandering around, or even join him against...}

[A Buer perhaps? Actually it looks like he's got this one well in hand. The creature is angrily flapping around him, firing it's confusion beam, but can't seem to land a hit.

A few days later, he can be found fighting a Mandragora. Actually, it looks like he could use a hand against this one. It's horrible scream seems to be really throwing him off.

And someone should definitely warn him about that dancing frog he's looking at. There's no way he should be taking on a Touch Me solo at his level. Although it's entirely possible he just plans on watching a dancing amphibian because he's bored.

Or maybe you just want to congratulate him on capturing a Geezard? Or not. Because let's be real, anyone could catch one of those things. At any rate, he's caught one and is dragging it back to the monster arena.]

Allenby hastily runs over, no longer needing to play punching bag.

Jumping up on the creature's chest, Allenby swings a wrenching kick right up against it's jaw, after Carol drops another Mog Bomb into it's mouth! "KEYAAAAAAH!"

Yuna didn't let up her strikes. She tapped into what energy she had left strengthening her arrows and increasing her aim to hit the right space under its belly. She had fought this monster before and knew of its weakness to fire and its belly. She only hoped that this was enough to at least drive it back.

She wished she could reach her limit break but the creature has only been attacking Allenby because she was the only one close enough to receive its strikes.

Mogomi's too tired to keep going, so...

[Chiaki thinks for a moment before holding out a hand.]

Mech Gunner! I choose you! Cannon Shot!

[With a flash of light, the mechanical marvel appears in front of Chiaki, letting loose with a powerful attack at the prone target. Chiaki, for her part, keeps right on dropping cure spells on Allenby.]

The chocobo eater flails desperately under the relentless assault. It's in pretty rough shape. Hopefully someone remembers that they need to catch this thing alive. Those close to it have yet another problem to deal with as it suddenly spews a noxious gas from it's mouth.

Bartz pulls away as quickly as possible, coughing.

"Ugh, yuk! What is that stuff?"

He and anyone else who breathed that in won't be feeling too good.

Allenby just powered through it, enduring with the ick that it had spewed upon them. "Who cares! Let's go for it now!" she shouts through her coughing and invokes the power to capture the creature while it remained weakend and on it's back!

Yuna watched in dismay as the poison covered the ground in front of the warriors. "Bartz! Allenby!" She shouted but she knew her voice couldn't do much to help them now. She had some items with her she had bought with Celes for these hunts and she hoped it would be able to help.

She stepped forward aiming her arrow with a steady hand before letting it fly at the wounded creature. "It's weak on its back! Hit it hard!" She didn't know what its health was at but she wanted to end this fight quickly.

It's okay! We've got it!

[Chiaki joins Allenby at the front of the line, stopping just short of whatever the monster just spewed to support the capture attempt. And now that it's been sufficiently weakened and two Beastmasters are bringing their abilities to bear, the Chocobo Eater is successfully subdued and captured!]

Whew... we got it. Here, let me help with that poison.

[Now that they're out of combat, Chiaki just goes ahead and drops a few Esuna spells to relieve Bartz and Allenby from the effects of the noxious gas.]

[Bartz flashes Chiaki a grateful grin.]

Thanks!

[He sheathes his his spear and stretches.]

That was kinda fun. I bet the old guy'll be really happy about this.

"I bet a ton of Chocobos will be a lot happier." she smirks, letting Chiaki take care of the healing rather than even bothering with her own skills. With the monster caught, she drops down onto her ass they lays back in the grass.

"That was super tough but a bunch of fun! I could've done anything like that back home."

Yuna ran up with Celes in her arms and her bow strapped across her back. She was a little out of breath but otherwise fine since she had been fighting from a distance.

"Everyone okay?"

I'm fine, just low on MP. I think this would be a good time to rest before delivering the monster.

"Good idea!"

He flops down on the grass and stretches out.

"It's kinda too bad we didn't bring snacks..."

Because monster fights and a picnic would clearly be the best afternoon.
