Garth's attack did indeed defeat the monster, with its mass now mostly scattered all over the ground and the villager's house. He was also relieved of the goo trying to enter his facial orifices, but his hand was now completely covered in it. Given that he had nearly been invaded orally, he would soon taste that the creatures were... sweet, and had the consistency of... dough.
Dani did quite indeed part the creature, but it slowly reformed around her arm and body. She would soon discover using one's bare hands against them was the most unwise action, as the entire sticky thing was now slowly enveloping her.

Dani struggled with the sticky-ness, but she was still smiling. And...Did it smell...Sweet? Dani stopped struggling, focusing a small amount of energy on the rapier.
"Sharpen the edge." She murmured before cleaving the creature's dough-like body off of herself, landing on her feet a few paces away. She eyed what remained of the creature on herself, Before proceeding to lick the substance.

Garth let out a sigh of relief as the creature was finally dealt with. He noticed the taste and smell of...what was the creature. Dough? Why would they be made of dough? His detective mind began to sort through the many theories and ideas to figure out why these creatures are made of such a substance.
He looked to Daniella as she managed to destroy the creature that had attacked her...and tasted the substance, "Hey don't do that! Spit it back out! That was part of the creature that had tried to kill you, we don't know what that would do to you!" He watched her carefully trying to figure out what he could do if she became ill. He had very little medical knowledge or supplies maybe he ought to try a maneuver to force her to expel the substance.
Garth decided that would be what he would do if she fell ill. His mind immediately jumped back to why the creatures where made of dough. His eyes turned back to the bakery and his eyes widened as it hit them. However, before he announced his revelation, he observed Daniella to ensure she was alright.
Zaun science is killing far more than its saving. I want to put a stop to that!
Dough creatures. Mysterious bakery. It all added up. The answers were there at the bakery.
The remains of the creatures that were blasted apart were now inert... but very slowly they started to reform. Their speed of reformation would suggest they'd be whole again in a half an hour, leaving them enough time to leave the village area- and they would want to, as the combat had attracted more of the Dough people, emerging from doors that slowly opened.
Dani's opponent too was blasted apart, but by willingly consuming the magical sweet dough would feel a rapid sugar rush, the nature of the sugar itself magically augmented. Which only meant that, at a later time, she would suffer a terrific sugar crash. Behind them, four dough men were converging on their positions. In front, through the mist and fog, the bakery awaited, smoke belching from the oven exhausts.

Garth knew the answers were at the bakery, but it seems the commotions had attracted the attention of more dough creatures. He let out a low curse, as his detective mind urged him to go and solve the mystery. However, if they did not hurry then they would be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Garth had lots of mana which meant that he could keep creating the explosive mana shells, but even he had his limits. Maybe if they could stop the bakery, they could stop this madness...too many unknowns what if this is all a ploy? A trick to lead them into an even worse trap?
Not like they had much of a choice, he shot a glance over to Daniella, "Come on we gotta get to the bakery! I think we can stop these things if we can destroy whatever is controlling them!" He exclaimed as he ran toward the bakery. Upon arriving at the door he would try to open it, and if it didn't open he would try to kick it down. Speed was of the essence here!

Dani giggled, in her mind Daniella was hit with a few effects with the sugar. She stood up, completely sugar active at the moment. She grabbed her rapier and followed Garth.

On the roof of a nearby building, a woman is watching. Sara had entered from the woods a few minutes ago, and ran into one of the dough creatures. Noticing how useless her arrows were, she cut it up with her hunting knife and left the pieces on the ground a few houses away from her current position. Her confrontation had left her usually black outfit glazed in sugar and slightly whitened however.
She looks over to the two in the middle of the town running towards the bakery. Bakery... that sugary creature... of course. She climbs her way down from the roof and slowly sneaks her way closer. Rather not catch the attention of creatures that make her bow near useless. No doubt even snake venom wouldn't do anything to them. She stops at the corner of a house, a few hundred meters away from the other two in a good spot to see the creatures reforming. Great... another thing to worry about.
That Garth had very quickly charged towards the door was his folly. he would likely have overlooked the many gardening tools scattered about the lawn until it was too late- Suddenly, a couple of rakes, a shrub trimmer, Several wooden buckets, a wooden barrel, a pack of garden gnomes with broken glass and a garden hose were roused to life from his presence and began attacking the two female trespassers.
The door gave easily, being a bit aged, and Garth would have the misfortune of drawing the attention of angry, homicidal living room furniture. The living room carpet, a round dining table, three chairs and a coat rack came to life to attack him, while some silverware; knives and forks- and porcelain cups went flying towards him, like deadly projectiles.

Dani twitched a little, noticing something or someone approaching rather subtly, she had only caught a few glances before she lost where the other person had ran. She paused, then ran full sprint closer to where she last saw the figure, her child-like personality had awoken and wanted to "play" (kill) whoever that person was.

Sara looks at the woman getting closer for a moment, noticing that she seemed predatorial all of a sudden. She quickly pulls out her hunting knife and cuts apart the garden hose that is attacking her and then makes her way to a ladder on the side of the house and quite expertly climbs her way up.
"Hmph... why is she after me and not those... things? Simple-minded predatorial instinct?" She thinks to herself.
Post by Garth Marxian on Mar 3, 2013 2:38:52 GMT -5
Garth heard the gardening tools get to move right as he kicked open the door, and he would have shouted out a warning...had homicidal furniture taken up his attention. A knife cut him in the shoulder, and blood followed the from the wound staining his leather clothing a darker red. It was nothing fatal, but it still really hurt! A fork hit the mana converter, but failed to do any damage due to the fact the converter was made out of metal.
Garth's augmented eye kicked in and he jumped back before rolling to the side. Avoiding most of the projectiles besides a knife that cut him in the knee, and a shard of porcelain that gave him a light cut on the cheek. The cups shattered, while the knives and forks hit the wood with a loud THUNK! Garth then muttered something about his aunt and the tantrums she had in the kitchen. However, now was no time for memories.
He rolled back out and fired a four regular unenchanted rounds into the weaker part of the possessed chairs. He hoped that maybe if he were able to remove the legs that would stop them, but he was still left with rug, a dinner table, and a coat rack. The latter which he ducked under as it swung at his head. The bakery was too close quarters for him to properly dodge and keep at a range. So he wisely choose to fall back to the outside of the house. Garth turned and fired one more shot at the dinner table hoping that his rounds so far would have inflicted some sort of damage...if not he might have to resort to a stronger attack.

For ignoring the immediate threat around her, Dani would find herself swamped by the garden items, the buckets flying towards her head while the barrel tried to crush her. Not to mention the garden gnomes with broken glass...
Sara too was not left alone. Two rakes tried to attack her, trying to claw at her, while the hedge shears were angrily snapping towards her neck. She also had a trio of garden gnomes intent on sticking that sharp, broken glass in her.
The chairs' narrow legs fell off due to the bullets, and the remains seemed to writhe in pain, as if alive. The table angrily bull rushed Garth, as if furniture could express emotions- while the carpet attempted to wrap around and constrict him, and the coat rack simply trying to poke him.
This scenario would appear hilarious, if not for the furniture's deadly intent...

As she made her way to the top of the building, Sara noticed the garden tools after her. Sorcery was so irritating to her. She stabs her hunting knife into the handle of the hedge shears and uses it to throw them away, hoping to hit a wall or something with them so they could get stuck.
She then places the knife in it's sheath and pulls out her longbow. She pulls out two arrows and aims carefully, then quickly shoots both arrows right after each other into the heads of the garden gnomes. Knowing magical enchantments, this would probably not be enough, but it was worth a shot.
The rakes managed to get some scrapes off into her back as she was climbing a moment ago, which made her wince a bit but not lose her focus. A Noxian would not lose to simple garden tools, enchanted or not. At least she was safe from them for now, high above the yard where the rakes were.

It seems the dinner table took no damage from Garth's bullet, and in retaliation slammed into him. The blow knocked him back a few feet and on his back and he took a breathe to get the air that had been knocked out of him. He didn't expect the table to have so much force behind it, but now he knew better. Needless to say Garth would have a rather nasty bruise on his chest, but there was not time to think about that as the rug came to try and constrict him.
The symbol on Garth's mana converter glowed blue as it created another unstable shell of mana in the barrel of his rifle, and he quickly aimed at the rug. He pulled the trigger unleashing another shell that acted like a shotgun and spread very quickly into many sharp shards of crystallized mana. Given the chair's reaction to losing a leg, he hoped the rug would react the same way or better yet die from it. Garth didn't know, but he could hope right?
However, his attention became preoccupied as the coat rack tried poking him with the sharper end, something the aspiring detective had no desire to let happen. He caught the sharp end in between the trigger and clip of his rifle then shoved it aside causing the attempted attack to miss Garth completely. However, Garth turned to look back at the rug to ensure he had dealt with it and did not have to worry about it getting back up!

Dani pouted, she was annoyed at all the objects getting in her way of her play time. She looked around though, the figure soon disappeared from her senses. Dani jumped backwards, dodging the garden supplies.
"Why are these things attacking Dani..." She wondered to herself. She staggered, possibly from the effects of the dough-like creature she tasted.
When she retrieved her footing, she went on the offense attacking the various objects, one of the buckets had hit her from behind, square in the back of the head. She managed to at least knock away the barrel. She dueled against the Gnomes, remembering all her lessons.
