BATTLE :
________________________________________



Rosa: "I don't think you can win anymore against all three of us. I would prefer not to kill you, since you can still talk."

Klimt: "Now you see what I mean? Don't fight and you won't be removed from the world. Look at you, your parts are damaged, you're outnumbered three to one. I have a weapon which will pulp your body forever. You have no choice but to let us pass."

The girl lifts her face, looking at Rosa with unbound rage.

Redhair: "I. Will. HURT. YOOOOOOOU!"

She props her remaining leg against the ground, and, activating the spring loaded hopper, launches herself up in the air, Pilebunker aimed directly at Rosa. klimt tries to grab her, but she's just too fast! Eigla realises she won't be able to block it. Her shield is too heavy, too slow to be raised up in time. She has failed.

NOT THIS TIME.

Eigla jumps in front of Redhair's leg, pushing Rosa back and parrying the armor-piercing steel spike WITH HER FACE. There is a sickening crunching sound as the entire front of her skull is blasted into smithereens. Eyeballs, nose, teeth, her entire jawbone and windpipe are thrown across the room, landing with a splat in the blood-soaked mud. She is launched backwards all the way out of the battlefield, her body laying on a staircase like that of a discarded ragdoll.

Redhair: "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET, YOU C-" *THUNK*

Rosa is not sure how she moved that fast, yet she did. Before she even realised it, she'd grabbed Redhair's torso, thrust a foot onto her navel, then activated the pile bunker. There was a dull hydraulic thud, followed by something like a water balloon popping. In an instant, the girl's entire pelvic area was obliterated, sending her legless torso flying back once again.

She must have realised, then, it was time to escape. After a moment or two of shock, she thrust her remaining hand into the mud, dragging her broken body away like a wounded animal. Rosa shot her once, twice, but she seemed not to notice. She crawled fast enough, in fact, that Klimt could barely keep up by walking.

Everyone takes 1 point of Madness.

Can we just disengage from battle like that? As long as a battle formally continues, we will keep gaining madness points.

"Go."
>Do not shred her.

Rosa: "Klimt. Leave her. She is no longer a threat."

Klimt: "Go."

The girl continues to crawl away, so the two of you turn back to check on Eigla. She seems... Relatively fine, for someone who's just lost half her head, and has propped herself up on a seated position.

Suddenly, you hear a scream, and turn to see more zombies have entered the arena. They dogpile Redhair's legless form, biting and tearing and breaking. She tries to fend them off with her sole remaining bone lance, but she's too weak at the moment.

Girl: "MASTER! NO! NOT LIKE THIS- I- THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU SAID WOULD- MAAAAAASTER!"

Well, at least she's serving as a pretty good bait. If you leave her be, the zombies will probably be too busy devouring her corpse to bother you.

BATTLE :

Rosa: "Klimt. Can you be a shield?"

Klimt: "I have faith in your orders. I don't have her armor, but I can do it for a while."

Rosa: "Then we fight. Destroy the mindless ones. We can use their flesh."

Rosa puts a bullet through the nearest zombie's brain, then reloads as Klimt moves closer. He flexes his arms and TENTACLES EXPLODE FROM EVERY SURFACE OF HIS BODY, RENDING EVERY ZOMBIE IN A 20 FOOT RADIUS.

Well that was effective. He's gonna need a new shirt now, though.

Redhair lies broken in the mud amid the fallen zombies, breathing with difficulty and coughing up blood. Her remaining arm seems to have been chewed off, and part of her guts is hanging off her destroyed pelvis.

Meanwhile, Eigla hears Rosa asking for a shield. She MUST be her shield. Rosa NEEDS her! She has to move! If only she could find her balance-

Eigla slips and tumbles down the stairs, smashing the top of her skull open on the last step. Her brain quickly flows out the opening, an unrecognizeable mess. Even though she's a zombie, that hurt. That FRIGGIN HURT GODDAMMIT.

Wait. Her brain is gone. How is she thinking? I mean, there should be SOME ill effect to losing you literal BRAIN, no matter what sort of necromancy has been used on you. Eigla ponders that though thoroughly, and decides the answer must logically be bicycle wheels made of cucumber and potato jam. What was her name, again? Wow, look at all the pretty lights!

You manage to loot 3.5 Flesh off the corpses.

Eigla's and Rosa's Coffins beep, signaling they've finished producing replacement parts.

BATTLE - FINISHED!
