123 Chapter 123 (1/2)

Chapter 123

Apparently, Oak hadn't been kidding about being terrified of snakes. The mighty Indra, meant to be the stalwart, indomitable tank for The Knight's Who Go Ni, had screamed like a girl and jumped probably 10 feet in the air when the Giant Plaython came into view. Which, had it not been for the quick thinking of the rest of the raid party, would have been the end for their third-floor escapades.

Luckily for everyone involved, they weren't complete noobs, and knew how to react in most situations. Besides, if there was one thing James had come to appreciate about these two guilds, it was how quickly they could adapt. That, and they were getting used to the ridiculousness that was James's dungeon.

As such, the moment the Giant Plaython came into view, teddy knight riding on its back, the party had looked to Oak to intercept. When he was deemed, incapacitated, Skar took the lead, placing himself in the path of the rapidly approaching stuffed foes. At the same time, both clerics, uncertain of what the new foes would bring, began casting a variety of buff spells. Med Ic even cast a cleanse spell, as the veteran healer had noticed the Funky Monkey's cry had stunned himself and two other party members.

James had been hoping that stun would go unnoticed the first time around, since the monkey, still on its approach, appeared prepared to let out another manic cry. However, as great healers in MMOs tend to do, it seemed Med Ic was constantly monitoring his teams' stats, meaning he saw the debuff appear on himself and the others effected as it happened. Even if the others didn't, because honestly, if a giant flying monkey was screaming as a group of stuffed animals attacked, more than a few players might not realize they were actually stunned by a game mechanic, and not just the sheer craziness of the situation.

When the mobs and parties clashed, it was a battle of hilariously epic proportion. Honestly, it was a fight that James hadn't been sure how he would feel about. But, watching it take place, he was really, really glad he had these new mobs. Especially because, with the creepy atmosphere set by the swamp, it just played into an even more horror-esq battle.

The first enemies to the party were the Giant Plaython and the mounted teddy knight. As Skar had stepped up to face the new enemies, his entire form had begun to glow darkly, and James watched as Skar promptly activated one of his brand-new Dread Knight skills. Dark energy, accompanied by a dreadful wail, flowed off of him, and it crashed into the Giant Plaython and teddy knight. The skill, which James had read about, was called Dread Wail, and it had a 50% chance to cause 5 seconds of fear on enemies.

With a flip of the coin on his skill, James was curious what exactly would happen. To his utter amusement, the result was pure comedy. The fear, it seemed, managed to affect the giant Plaython, but not the teddy knight. However, that didn't really matter. Because just as horses did in movies, the Giant Plaython immediately stopped its sudden approach, and reared back, letting out a massive hiss in Skar's direction, which, elicited another scream of terror from Oak, as he tried to regain his composure.

Now, unlike in the movies, the brave teddy knight didn't manage to hold on. Of course, how could he, when a 20foot snake stops in full momentum, it probably creates a bit more force than a horse stopping. The end result, then, was the teddy knight being sent flying over the Giant Plaython, essentially launching himself, lance and all, towards the raid party.

To everyone's credit, almost everyone got away from the flying projectile that was the teddy knight. Well, everyone who wanted to get away, did. Troll'd, Faust, and Elm had spread out, and began launching their attacks at the stopped giant plaython, knowing full well when the fear faded, it was likely going to present a huge problem. Z was on the lookout for the approaching flying monkey, his eyes locked onto the form of it as it rapidly approached, while Turk was carrying Badgy overhead, likely looking for an enemy to drop the badger on.

That left Manly, and Gno-more, the two melee members of the group, with nothing to do. Until they noticed a flying teddy knight coming straight towards the party. The two looked at each, grinned, and prepared themselves. The poor Teddy Knight didn't stand a chance.
