[Ramza nodded at K'pandolu. He recognized her from that false memory; a strong fighter to have beside him in battle, though he avoided thinking too closely on memories from that particular fight.]

We need to get the people to the docks. Drive the beasts in the opposite direction if you can.

[Before the lightning had grounded itself fully, Ramza charged straight at the twitching creature, knocking it down with his full weight and momentum.]

Go now! [He ordered the citizens the monster had pinned into a corner.]

[unyieldingspirit]

[she nods acknowledgement, eyes darting to him for but a moment.]

You heard him! Go! We'll cover you.

[but it still takes a moment before they stir, clearly still frozen by the sight of the monster- and perhaps, too, by those fighting it. K'pandolu keeps them in the corner of her eye as they eventually do, placing herself between the beast and the people as she draws her sword.]

[zodiac_brave]

[Ramza rolled off of the creature he had tackled, trying to keep ahead of the fists the golem lashed out with. The citizens were slower to react than the people of Aqures Ixen would have been; they had no knowledge of or trust for Heroes of Light.

His fists did more damage to himself than they did to the stone beast, so Ramza gave up punching and looked around wildly for any sort of weapon. There was some sort of wooden stick protruding from a rubbish bin. He snatched it, trusting K'pandolu to cover him while he moved to arm himself. He was pleasantly surprised to find the bat had nails driven into the wood.]

Let's finish this one. Then we make sure the escape path is clear for them.

[He swung the nail bat at the monster, and it was much more effective than either sword or fist had been.]

[unyieldingspirit]

Understood!

[ugh, golems. At least this one looks like it should be less trouble than the Temple Guardian…

She casts Blizzara at the creature as Ramza moves, meaning to keep it occupied while he grabs the weapon.

Ramza's blow leaves a mark, some of the stone crumbling. K'pandolu makes to follow up with a second spell cast at the weakened area.]

[zodiac_brave]

[With the combination of the bat strike and the spell, the golem crumpled to the ground.]

Well done. Now, onward!

[He hurried after the retreating townsfolk, not wanting to lose sight of them. He could hear growls and screams in the distance; there were many more obstacles to pass through before the city was safe.]

[unyieldingspirit]

[K'pandolu nods, hurrying after him, straining her eyes and ears for the next monster that needs to be taken down. One catches her attention, and she pushes forward, summoning a fire spell.]

There!

[and she unleashes the spell on the Ochu.]

[zodiac_brave]

[The fire spell was effective against the Ochu. It screamed and thrashed as the heat singed one of its arm-tendrils. It spewed out poison at them in retaliation.]

Watch out!

[Ramza threw up an arm to shield his face from the poison cloud as best he could. He moved through it, pitching forward to swing his bat at the monster. He could feel the burn of poison in his lungs, but it would be a while before it incapacitated him.]

[unyieldingspirit]

[K'pandolu brings one arm up, turning away and trying not to breathe- but it always seems to seep in, somehow. At least they're not enclosed in the earth.

Ramza's blow strikes hard and true, and K'pandolu moves to follow up with a second strike at the heart of the beast, before any more poison can erupt from its body.]
