Sleep Paralysis

[Seraphina]

Her attack seemed to have no effect on the thing!

And it kept attack Sonnie!

Sera could throw something else at it, but what she needed to know, was what was it? Her and Rhodes had discussed Dreams and Dream Battles numerous times, did he ever mention anything like this before?

If she had nothing, then she’d have to pull the attention, which was fine with her.

Nothing, nothing happened. I hit it, I know I did, and yet it was not only unfazed, and it went after Sonnie.

Thinking back, he doesn't think Sonnies wall slowed it down, either.Is it immaterial, is that a thing in a dream.

He looks down at the feet behind the 'shadow'. Let's see if it can fly. Vincent concentrates on opening a hole right behind the 'shadow', moving his hands in an opening motion as he focuses on the space behind the shadow.

In opening the hole, hopefully Sonnie will see it and try to throw the creature through it.

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie wasn't used to being on the losing side of a fight. So far she'd not laid a single dream finger on the Shadow, while it had struck her twice!

What's more, it was becoming difficult to focus. She had some understanding of dream physics, and so she knew that he actual body wasn't being harmed. She wasn't really bleeding. Her mental fortitude was what was being damaged. Her ability to maintain her presence in this dreamscape was at risk.

Time to do on the defensive!

The simian Beast did just that, throwing her dream form into a series of protective stances. Dodgy Monkey is dodgy!

Sonnie doubles her Defense for the turn. Dream Defense 8, Dream Armor 3

[Saber Sloth]

The white figure has nearly disappeared through the labyrinthine warren of the alleys.

Sera wracking her mind over just what this thing is, realizes after a moment that it had to be some kind of Oneirovore. Creatures that hunt through dreams, some feed on fear, but for their killer, it had to be one who stole their victims dreaming selves from their bodies so they could consume them at their leisure.

In tandem Sonnie readies herself for the Shadow's next blow, and Vincent opens the ground from under it - and it - falls!

Sonnie 18, 2WP Damage, Shadow INIT 15, Sera, Vincent 12, White INIT 8

[Seraphina]

If she was right in her memories, then this shadow thing was a distraction. At least, that's how she's working it out in her head.

So her attention turns back to the white figure, wanting to catch it. But sometimes, what you want to do, and what you can do, are two totally different things.

[Vincent Black]

Wow, that worked, but to buy us some time I should close the hole. And at that thought, Vincent moves his hands in a closing motion as he focuses on closing the hole he just made.

[Sonnie Wu]

Juking and jiving when her opponent didn't actually attack her... well, didn't she feel like a fool?

At least I didn't fall in a hole!

And with that hole sealing up (Shadow Man inside!), it seemed like a good time to return to their original goal, which was to catch the glowy white figure! Where was he, anyway? Oh, right, fading into the distance.

The game is afoot, or something!

Anywho, the Steepscrambler spun about and bolted after Glowy Guy!

[Saber Sloth]

Vincent focus is on making sure the Shadow can't follow, Sonnie easily out paces her Queen, and Sera tries to follow the white figure only to feel like her feet are in molasses.

Below them the white figure, the dreamer continues to flee.

Behind them, the Shadow in the Corner of Your Eye oozes through the blockage of what Vincent did to close the hole. Droplets of Shadow falling, pooling until the droplets have no more down to drop, and instead fall upward, coalescing once more into their Shadowy foe.

[Seraphina]

She was beyond frustrated at her lack of movement! She had to follow the white shape, she needed to catch up with them!


Gritting her teeth, she focuses and makes her body move! The Nix would not be outdone on her playing field.

[Vincent Black]

Vincent, seeing the shadow ooze through the hole before it closed, agitated him. But with the others chasing after the white shape, he needed to distract the shadow from going after them.

Seeing the shadow had some sort of tangibility, he knew he could attack it, but he was not sure how to hurt it. But maybe I can trap it. Focusing on the stone underneath the shadow, Vincent attempts to pull out liquid stone that reaches out and grabs the arms and legs of the shadow.

Hopefully this works!
