The pulses of light fired down at the floor of the room, enveloping and incinerating all of the sahagin that stood there. When the lights were finally gone, all that remained of the creatures were the blackened marks on the floor.

(Sahagin Mage D has arrived)
Sahagin Mage D's Turn
Despite the decimation of the sahagin in the war room, the supply of new arrivals was not quite yet exhausted. Another pair of fishy hands reached out of the hole, bringin in yet another mage. Without spending even a second surveying the charred spots on the floor that had once been its allies, the creature conjured a powerful charge of electricity, which it blasted at the most injured-looking target it could find. The unfortunate sailor was jolted hard and knocked from his feet to land to land motionless on the floor, dead before he even had a chance to thank the dragon knight who had come to his aid moments before.
(Lightning Blast: Damage 33

(Sahagin Mage E has arrived)
Sahagin Mage E's turn
Within seconds, yet another sahagin leapt from the hole. This one decided that the captain of the ship should be its target, and so it conjured up a globe of fire and hurled it at the man. However, the captain was prepared, and as he raised his hand toward the fireball, the flame dispersed.
(Fire Burst: Failure)
Behind the two mages, several long green tendrils suddenly shot out of the hole and rooted themselves into the floor. From out of the shadows below the floor, these tentacles proceeded to lift a large grey central orb. The ends of the tentacles were attached to the bottom of this orb, and the top half opened to reveal a four-jawed mouth, each jaw with a pair of serpentine eyes on the outside and a row of jagged teeth and a forked tongue on the inside. The creature's eight eyes gazed around the room for a moment as it summed up its prey, while some yellow fluid dripped from its teeth.
(Burster has arrived)
Burster's Turn
Deciding that the dragon knight looked like the biggest meal available, the monster lurched toward End, making not a sound as it moved. Dodging past the End's lance with great agility for its size, the creature's jaws bit down. However, the creature recoiled immediately, having been zapped by the dragon knight's aura.
(Medium Attack: Damage 27
End's HP: 67/94
Burster's HP: 495/500)
Brinala's Turn
Brinala had thought the battle already won the moment Cardinal's attack was unleashed, but the feeling turned bad when a sailor was killed in the very next moment. Then, the arrival of the big monster within a few seconds nearly caused her to panic. She reminded herself, though, that it was only one creature, even if it did have slimy green tentacles.
Deciding that the creature needed to be taken out of the game quickly, Brinala focused her mind and made raised her hand toward the thing. The creature immediately dropped to the floor, its muscles spasming and its tendrils curling up around itself.
(Cramp: Success
Burster is paralyzed
Brinala's MP: 60/80)
Sailor B's Turn
A female sailor nearby saw the creature fall and decided that she should take the chance to strike. Raising her longsword high, she charged forth and brought the weapon down in a mighty overhead chop. Unfortunately, one of the creature's writhing tentacles managed to knock into the side of the sword at just the right moment to knock it off its course.
(Heavy Attack: Failure)
Sailor E's Turn
Near the edge of the room stood two sailors carrying staves instead of swords. One of these two magic users was gifted in the healing arts. Now ready to make his contribution, the mage held his staff towards one of his allies, who was then surrounded for a moment in a white glow.
(Cure 2: Recovery 39
Sailor C's HP: 60/60
Sailor E's MP: 77/95)
Sailor D's Turn
The other mage intended to make a more direct contribution to the battle. Raising his staff into the air to gather energy, he then brought it down towards the paralyzed monster. A large fireball quickly rushed toward the monster and created a bright explosion upon impact.
(Fire Blast: Damage 36
Burster's HP: 459/500
Sailor D's MP: 86/100)
