OOC: Combining three strong rolls and two normal rolls to make two bosses
As he neared the inn where the flare had been fired from, it was clear that something eventful had taken place, what with the debris scattered about. The result, however, was quite clear, with one of their targets mutilated and Kaori unconscious on the ground. Oddly enough, the doppelganger seemed to be breathing as well, her wounds cauterized by whatever cut them. Dmitry sighed and walked over to his partner.
"Guess I can't leave her here." He said as he hoisted her over his right shoulder, taking her sword with his left hand. Upon doing so, he could feel a series of tremors beneath his feet.
'Seems they've learned of your presence, boy.' Hati said, coming to the same conclusion as his pupil.
"I invoke the World Serpent," He chanted as he made his way to the inn.
"Jormangand!" A large magic circle appeared in front of the building, causing more of the silver light from earlier to converge and form a massive, one hundred and fifty foot long snake to appear, blocking off the entrance just as Dmitry made it inside. At the same time, a massive force of twenty armored warriors and sixteen more of the dagger wielding doppelgangers from earlier amassed in front of the inn, blocked off by both Jormangand and Vedfolnir.
As Dmitry got inside, he was met by what appeared to be the remaining two leaders of the cult, having likely been drawn out by the earlier fight between Kaori and their comrade. After placing his partner on the ground, the wizard tossed the sword in his left hand to his right and turned to face his next opponents. "It's over. You put up a good fight, but those pets of your's can't hold out forever." Said the woman in the more ornate armor. "And there's no way you can beat both of us by yourself." Added her shorter, male partner. His armor was far less decorative, but also seemed much heavier. Hopefully Dmitry could use that to his advantage.
"Look, you wanna keep running your mouth? Be my guest." he said, crouching down in preparation to move.
"If not, then let's get started." Before anyone could say another word, the smaller of the two charged in, swinging low with a hammer. Dmitry jumped over the swing and vaulted over the attacker, landing just in time to duck under the swing of a strange sword made entirely of light being wielded by the woman. Making use of how wide that swing was, he quickly stepped behind the doppelganger and thrust the katana threw an exposed portion of her right arm, catching the totally not copyright infringing sword held in her hand. As she screamed out in pain, he slashed across her armored right leg, dealing just enough damage to cause her to kneal down. As she did so, Dmitry violently removed the blade from her arm with his left hand, following up with a swift kick to the exposed part of her face.
As she fell to the floor, the small tank decided to charge now that his partner was no longer blocking his path, attempting a downward swing this time. In response, Dmitry swung his own temporary weapon, the beam of light slicing the hammer in two and creating what he thought was an opening. Unfortunately, the wizard was not a weapon specialist and when he tried to swing the katana, his opponent rammed into his gut using the full weight of his armor, knocking him back five feet and causing him to lose his grip on the blade he was swinging. Quickly getting to his feet as the doppelganger armed himself with an ax to replace the hammer, Dmitry waited for the man to charge again, this time swinging horizontally again for his face. The wizard the swung the blade upward as fast as he could, hitting the dwarf's wrist and causing the the ax to go flying into a nearby wall. While his enemy held his wrist in pain, Dmitry swung the blade of light at a spot under the arm, hitting a soft spot and causing the wearer to both cry out in further agony as well as turn around from the force. The gray-hair then slashed at the area behind the doppelganger's knees, forcing him down. Finally, now the victor of this fight, he grabbed the small man's helmet off his head with his left hand, flipped it over in said hand, and brought it down on it's owner's exposed head. Naturally, this was enough to knock him out and he fell to the ground, the still conscious woman staring in shock as Dmitry walked over to her.
"How..." she muttered. "We outnumbered you and you still...without even using magic..." Dmitry huffed in response, as though to mock her surprise.
"You were using weapons and techniques you barely understood, same as me. I've just been in more scrapes is all." He said before kicking the woman in the face hard enough to knock her out as well, switching off the sword as she fell.
"Right then, better deal with that..." He said to himself, turning to the sounds of battle out side. Dropping the light-composed saber, he began dragging the two leaders to the entrance of the building, the dwarf giving him a bit more trouble.
Outside, the battle raged on, Vedfolnir swoop in and out to disrupt the formations of the cultists and Jormangand occasionally flinging waves of enemies back with his head. None had fallen on either side, when the two guardians suddenly vanished into thin air. "Did...did we win?" On of the doppelgangers said. As if to response, their remaining two leaders were dragged out before them and left in the middle of the clearing.
"Your bosses are out. Now get the hell out of here would ya?!" The demand was simple and, lacking any kind of leadership remaining or the courage to face more combat without their 'great leaders', the cult quickly took their fallen commanders and fled the scene.
'Cowards, the lot of them.' Hait complained, disappointment clear in his voice.
'No arguing there, but at least the job's over with.' Dmitry responded, happy to be done with this strange affair. As he went back inside the inn, the townsfolk began to slowly exit their homes, making sure that the threat was well and truly gone. By the time he got inside, he could here the cheering in the background. It mattered little to him as he retrieved Kaori's weapon and placed it back in its scabbard, leaving the sheathed blade beside her after properly setting her down on a chair. After that, he went down to the basement below and sought out the hostages he was told about, one of them already dead and the others unconscious. Upon untying them and bringing them back upstairs, Dmitry would look about the place for some food and wait for Kaori to awaken so they could collect their reward and head home.
