She’s excited that seem very happy to have her help; or at least Flare does. She nods in affirmation yet stays silent, watching as Seraphina tries to reason with the creature. She’s not sure what she expected, but the creatures sudden penchant for death has her skin crawling. She follows Flare into the attack, following the path they’ve set so she doesn’t get hit, and holding her hand (the one with the beads around it) out to the puppet creature.

“Star Flare!“ Stars seem to appear and erupt from her skin, doing a targeted strike against the puppet in an attempt to stun it. She then moves back slightly, just enough to keep Flare in her range should it move to them. She’s remembering what Torin said about it fighting short range. She’s doesn’t want it anywhere near her.

Talks had failed and the puppet unable to talk real from fake attacked seraphina's illusion. Well at least it was out in the open now so bright side there. Fighting something hiding was far more annoying than one out in the open. The illusion of the girl vanished as the ice was cut in half and seraphina let it go. She had some new tests to conduct now that they were fighting. Flare was the first to jump out seemingly angered by the puppet lashing out at nothing. Setaphina couldn't help but like that part of flare despite knowing the illusion was not there she still had odd outbursts towards it.

Setaphina focused and started to weave a new magic. [magic E] [componetless magic E ] [illusion F] [Magic Augmenter: #Range F] [spell duration F] [Magic Augmenter: #Selective F] mixed together so that she wove an illusion just fir the puppet and to keep it simple she flipped his world over up became diwn and down up. A skilled warrior could likely fight through this no problem, but seraphina doubted it was that skilled

Actions

1. Use [magic E] [componetless magic E ] [illusion F] [Magic Augmenter: #Range F] [spell duration F] [Magic Augmenter: #Selective F] to create am illusion in invert the puuets perception on the world

Confusion got the best of the puppet, as even though Flare announced her presence prior, it was too lost to really react properly to their attack. The impact of the attack, on top of its distorted perspective courtesy of Seranphina, almost made him fall backwards. But not quite. Still, the splashing fire managed to melt all nearby ice traps, with the resulting puddles and humidity preventing the forest for catching on fire.

It seemed to realize what was going on. It was being ambushed and attacked. Its face lacked expression, so his mental state was hard to grasp. What was understandable is that it was now fully prepared to fight.

It dodged Lisan's follow-up attack with precision and grace. And then launched a horizontal attack on her. Before it could reach her, however, Torin clashed swords with the puppet, making each other slide backwards "Aogi." "Torin." They greeted each other with a faint hint of respect in their voices. "Together, everyone! I'll cover you."

Picking up on potential maneuvers, A blue sheen radiated from Aogi's free hand. Causing a thick barrier of ice to surround them. "No escape". Their space became limited, making ranged attacks difficult. Or so was its plan.

Flare definitely got the drop on the puppet as their flames scorched over the ice traps that hazarded their movement. The once sharp and glistening ice turned to damp muddy puddles, harmless to any flesh and blood who step in them. Even in their suit Flare could still handle stepping in them with little issue, though admittedly they were cautious not to make too much of a splash just in case they seeped into their suit. Their attack meanwhile would hit the puppet, causing him to nearly throw him off-balance. Yet it would still stand, ready to retaliate. Though as Flare began thinking of their next attack, they saw a dazzling display of stars shooting by them cast by Lisan and heading towards their target.

They looked rather pretty from Flare's angle... pretty deadly even.

The puppet quickly dodged and made a strike towards Lisan, only for her to be saved by Tonin's blade. Both the samurai and the puppet - referred as Aogi - seemed to know each other a bit more than initially given on. Tonin urged them to move to the shrine while he covered them from the puppet. The fire elemental wanted to join in on the fight, but their mission was to retrieve the amulet... and to do that they needed to press forward. Despite feeling conflicted on the situation, they would oblige. Flare was just about to run over before the wall formed, Aogi would seal their way of escape by casting an ice barrier to surround them. Flare skidded to a fault as they observed their situation, initially panicked...

Before turning into a smug chuckle.

"An ice barrier... really?" Flare smirked before digging an armored gauntlet into the barrier itself. "I got this guys. Stand back." Flare warned confidently, using their other hand to gesture them away. Heat began rapidly building into her afflicting hand, producing a brilliant glow of flaming orange and yellow. Their hand turned into a fist as they wound it back and punched the ice barrier with a powerful [Flaming Punch F] hoping to shatter a way out with one punch.

Actions:

1. Cast [Flaming Punch F] on the Ice Barrier.
2. Normal [Hit] on Ice Barrier [+ Control Environment F] (if needed).

Noticing that Torin is using his sword to attack, she casts out her hand. With a word, she sends a small (temporary) star onto the back of his hand, hopefully boosting his attacks.

Until then, she stays behind Flare, again trying to stun the puppet with her targeted attack. She’s not much use up close to the puppet, and seems too focused to talk.

Well inverting the puppets senses didn't seem to slow it down, but at least it wasn't hurting anyone just yet. It did seem that the puppet knew the person they were with. Well that shouldn't be to surprising , though she did wish he had mentioned he was on a first name basis with the puppet. Sera was starting to wonder if her normal illusions would even work on the puppet so she would need to change what her illusion was. Thankfully with the duration she didn't have to let it down to change what she made others see. Actually with some of her strength returned she could cast more than one illusion though she rarely did as she focused on thinking about what to do next. Her vantage point of being in the battle but separate from it letting her think more calmly than others. Well it was time to test just how much the puppet could see through her illusions.

The inverted world of the puppet would return to normal, but as it did the illusion changed as the world heated up, it got hotter and hotter as Seraphina weaved the illusion of something she knew far to well, fire. Fires started to break out around the puppet even it's ice seemed to start to burn in the flames only it could see. Seraphina assumed if it could see and feel the flames the puppet that seemed to favor ice would try to avoid the illusionary flames.

Spoiler: actions

1. Later the illusion from an inverted work to a world starting to burn fires burning all over with realistic heat though no damage.

Spoiler: Aogi

Flare's attacks did manage to weaken the ice wall. And while it didn't break, it was clear it was very close to lose its integrity. Torin chastised himself under his breath for not being clear with his instruction. While Aogi took advantage of Flare focusing on the barrier, lunging at them in an attempt to thrust its sword onto them. Torin blocked the hit, which made some pieces of his discreet armor to crack. "It has it! The shine on its hand!"

In the confusion, Aogi's wooden plates got chipped from the stars it barely dodged before going for Flare. As this next illusion of Seraphina did manage to induce wariness on the puppet, which felt obligated to hump on top of the barrier in search of an escape from the flames.

One. Two. Flare could feel themselves about to break through the ice barrier. With just another well-place hit, they'd be out of here in no time. Though as they wound up for a third hit, they'd feel a cold chill speeding towards them as Aogi dashed forth with deadly intent. The fire elemental wouldn't have time to induce a counterattack, yet would be saved by Tonin at the very last second. Flare could see bits of the samurai's wooden armor crack and dent upon impact, as he told them about having the shine on its hand.

The shine...? No... he surely meant the shrine? The place they they were headed? And the one just above the waterfall? Right?

...Wait.

OH! The SHINE!

Of course! He must be referring to the amulet! The very one they were told the puppet used to power its ice attacks! With this sudden realization, Flare felt incredibly foolish for thinking otherwise. If they could blush in embarrassment, their whole face would be a mighty bright pink. But now wasn't the time to reflect, it was time to make up. "I see it!" they called out, locking eyes on the shine at hand. Sera's efforts to push them back should provide them with enough space to stage an attack of their own, for while they didn't see the illusionary flames, they could tell their partner was doing their part.

Seeing the puppet leap on top of the barrier, Flare's mask rippled with angry flames as it unleashed a blazing torrent of flame towards it. With blade in tow, they were ready to chop this puppet bitch in two if given the chance, getting into a guarding position in the event they were to descend upon them.

" well looks like the fire illusion is working " Seraphina thought to herself as she noticed the puppet moving oddly trying escape something only the two of them could see " odd that the upside down world didn't work maybe because it's a puppet it is okay with moving like that? " It could also just have focused more on seeing through the illusion Flare was suppling plenty of real flames for the puppet to deal with and the elf did something with light erupting form her skin or something. " Magic here really is odd looking sometimes but it beats the other elf " Seraphina internally sighed, at least they weren't dragging someone who felt like dead weight around this time, though just not being negative would have made this elf far better than the last even if she didn't do anything.

" hmmm its up high time to switch things up " Seraphina though she was now having so much more fun now that that she could target people and not everyone. While being a defensives and offensive tool was honestly not bad being able to just mess with one being however she wanted was great. With the puppet up on its perch Flare would try to beam it and Seraphina again changed the illusion up though she would have to take a break soonish they only lasted a little bit in combat. The world around the puppet lost much of its fire, but started to move, twisting and twirling , it was like the puppet was spinning around fast as the world went round and and round. " Lets see if you can get dizzy " Seraphina mentally chuckled.


actions:
1. Change the illusion so that the world appears to be spinning rapidly around the puppet.

Lisan doesn’t let up, throwing another star flare at the puppet. The concept of ‘the shine’ going right over her head until Flare seems to lock onto something. Her eyes follow, and she sees the amulet. Oh. Oh!

Rushing up to Flare, she’d try to keep her voice to where only they could hear it.

”Can your sword friend make me invisible? I know she can handle illusions. Maybe if Torin can stun him for just a second I can grab it!” It’s a super risky idea, but might be worth a shot.
