He swung a few more times and finally managed to scrape the bottom spikes against the stone guardian, the noise which upset his ears for his efforts. Syn shrieked with delight at getting to feed off a lion, while he was just mildly upset about it (lions were cool) and more upset with his own uselessness (a given).

Another swing, another awful noise. Dawson winced at the lion's snarl and actually tried apologizing to it. "Sawry, really, p-please leave us alone now, big kitty..."

Dawson was trying to talk the lion down from attacking them. Which was cute, if not pointless. She paused in her tirade of prodding to slam Thaw's pole into the ground, channelling her Fear through him. The wave of healing was invisible, but it washed over Dawson regardless, sealing his wounds and returning to him what the lion had torn away.

And that was all well and good, but it was clear that Maebe's prime directive had to be to stabbity. So she plucked Thaw out of the ground, pointed it at the lion's head, and returned to the stabbity.

 The lion was not dying nearly fast enough for her tastes. Thaw recommended she stop acting like he was a toothpick and it was a corn kernel, if she was so worried about speed. Boss HP: 23 Stamina: 18 Maebe HP: 25/50 Charge: 2/3

She in turn reminded Thaw of how annoying corn kernels in your teeth could be, and continued to pluck away at it.

Thanking Maebe for the sexual healing touch, Dawson went back to bashing the lion and apologizing for having to do so--this time inwardly.

But her healing charge had done little to keep Dawson safe, and as the lion bashed him down one final time, she felt that welling of frustration begin to feed her just the same way Thaw's attacks were feeding him. He rumbled in agreement as she slammed him down into the ground again, leaving cracks that traveled across the surface in jagged, violent movements. They continued to reach for Dawson, until they were all around him, trapping him in a semi-circle of broken, jagged ground. She felt the charge rushing through her as it traveled out of Thaw, and through the paths he'd made in the ground, filling them with molten lava and fire. The cracks erupted into the air, forming a high bubbling, fiery barrier that circled around Dawson. Of course it was nothing but the remnants of Fear, and though he pushed through it to attack, the flames refused to burn him, but they were warm, and they were adamant about keeping the lion out. "GO," She yelled, both of her hands firmly on Thaw to keep him grounded and steady. "GET A FEW HITS IN FOR ME." Stamina: 16 Maebe HP: 20/50 Barrier: On Dawson for 3 turns, for 15/15 HP)

In combat with the lion, he didn't realize the ground around him was cracking at first until he felt a rush of heat disorient him. When he realized it was lava, Dawson's eyes bugged out as he searched for an exit. Was this something the temple was doing to punish them? Was hurting a lion not enough??
< It's Maebe, cub. >
A split second after, she called for him to bash the thing's face in. Shuddering a little (the effects, while awesome, were still somewhat unnerving to look at), Dawson nodded, hoisted his weapon up, and crept to the edge of the fiery circle.

Attacking was not in his set of instincts. In fight, flight, or freeze, he was sure to do one of the later two, not brave an illusionary fire wall to try and smack an unnatural creature in the face. But he still tried, because Maebe was watching, and God damn it he didn't want to disappoint her like he was disappointing himself.
The lion was cautious. He barely scratched it face when he tried to swing at it.

Dawson was slowly losing his nerve. He tried to hammer down the beast but barely got so much as a bop on the nose, nearly upsetting his own balance in the process. The fire was beginning to die down, and it cast a nasty look in the marble lion's blank eyes.
He broke into a sweat that had nothing to do with the temperature. Was it too late to run and hide?

As soon as the circle simmered down, he backed away from their opponent and raised his shield, trying to have it lock eyes with the sculpted face on his weapon to buy him some time. It was obvious looking at him that his performance was less than satisfactory not just due to his inexperience but due to his easily frayed nerves. Dawson wiped at his brow and looked at her apologetically. Deciding to return the favor, he turned his shield to face Maebe and let a plume of fire jet out from its open mouth over her. The tongues of flame settled over her barrier and gave her outline just an extra little golden glow for good measure. "Sawry, hun," he mumbled abashedly. "Not cut out fer hittin' s**t. Kick its a** fer me." Charge: 0/3 Stamina: 10 Target: Maebe (now has 10/10 shield for 3 turns so really for just 2 silly overachiever)

When the barrier came down, Maebe went down with it. She fell to one knee, barely able to catch her breath from exertion while she struggled to pull Thaw out of the ground. She used him as support to stand back up again, and checked her hands. The palms were red and sore from how tightly she'd had to hold him down. If it wasn't for the barrier, she knew he would have burned clear through.
"Love you too, sweetums." She whispered to her weapon, wielding it up once more to get back into the fight. She never made it very far - a plume of flame engulfed her, and Thaw screamed in a jealous rage over fire touching her that was not his. It left her with a golden glow of protection, which she wasted for an entire minute by being super impressed with the effect.
"I look good in gold."
The lion seemed inclined to disagree.

She lunged forward, grinning childishly as she struck the lion right in its marble face with her trident. But glowing in gold did not mean herculean strength, so the trident barely pinged at it, leaving scratches that looked hardly crippling. It swatted her away without so much as a second look.

Once on the ground, she could see that Dawson's barrier was sputtering and fading away. She wanted to believe it was the lion's fault for the loss of her pretty new golden hue, and that absolutely enraged her. She stood back up, brushed herself off, and waited until the very moment that lion decided to turn and face Dawson, as if he was the only real threat. It was turning it's back on her. She might as well have been glowing red, for how angry she was.
Perhaps now you will teach it a lesson. Thaw demanded, both encouraging and insulting her at the same time. Her teeth ground painfully into one another, until she worked up the will to sprint towards the lions back. Several feet before she got to it, Thaw's trident prongs were slammed deep into the ground, vaulting her up into the air like a harpy. She swung him around as she fell, sinking the trident deep into - and through - the lion's neck.
A great wailing came from the disembodied head that rolled haplessly onto the ground, until its eyes dulled with death, and the statue returned to lifeless - decapitated - stone.
Maebe was still standing on its falling body, and as it crashed down, she came down with it.
