Ice still wasn't going to cut it to counter that maneuver. But maybe enough heat would turn it into steam...
Mozenrath launched a sphere of blue flames at the incoming wave.

After taking couple more slashes from Ratigan, Negaduck shoots a bolt of electricity directing at the rat. When Ratigan crashes back down near the thorns after defrost from Mozenrath's blizzard spell and given Negaduck's powers to control plants, the thorns immediately lashes the rat down, restricting him from getting free for as long they can. "To be honest, I did considered bringing you along if things could've all gone according to MY plan, but I see now your allegiance is rather with Team Losers." After Negaduck finished taunting Ratigan, when one headache is resolved, another problems rolls in times two. In this case, both The Horned King and Mozenrath launched their distraction ploy, which now captures Negaduck's attention. "Just give me a tiny break!" Negaduck mutters to himself when he took full blasts from the two sorcerers. When expecting another spell from either Horned King or Mozenrath, Negaduck summons yet another wave of water towards them, in hopes to wash them away perhaps even drown. (OOC: Man, it's a been a while hasn't it XD . Just to be safe is it vines or just the thorns that are holding down Ratigan?)

Post by William Cecil Clayton on Dec 30, 2019 19:02:56 GMT
Clayton quickly looked out for blind spots where he could get closer to Negaduck without being noticed, after Mozenrath dropped the shield, he went towards those while attempting to get closer to the giantic mutant duck hoping the plan would work. Varian followed after Clayton hoping he would lead a safe path past the vines. Though there was a big problem still. Even though most of the water was gone, there were still puddles everywhere. "Careful, if we step in any of these puddles, we could be done for. Negaduck could try and manipulate the water, or use his electricity to zap the water." As Varian spoke about the Electricity, he had and idea. Looking at his new staff, he had an idea. The metal in his staff would work as a lightning rod to draw electricity away from them. Only issue was where to put it. Then he realized the answer and tossed his staff to towards Clayton. "Here, throw this staff into that device on Negaduck's chest! Don't ask why, just trust me. It will help." Clayton was more fit than Varian and might have better luck. Besides, Varian had to focus on using the goo orb on his legs and hopefully keep him pinned to one spot. (OOC: I'm gonna be busy tomorrow too and most of Christmas too.) "I would have to be in front of him to do so though, which means that if you dont want him to spot you, you are on your own" Clayton explained, while giving a knife to Varian "You might need this to cut through the vines, hiding among those will help you go unnoticed until you reach his legs behind"

Once more, Ratigan fell to the ground. Despite his new size, it was very bit as painful as it had ever been. And the Professor was growing quite tired of it. As he begun to push himself up, he was once again forced onto the floor, as Negaduck's thorns pinned him to the ground. This, along with Negaduck's taunt and the fall, only served to further increase Ratigan's temper. He soon fought through the pain, and began to free himself from the thorns. Though he managed to wiggle off a few, he was still mostly pinned. With a growl, he exclaimed: "GET ME OUT OF HERE!" as he continued to fight through the thorns.

"Right." Varian said as he took the knife and quickly split up from Clayton. He took a look at the battlefield and things did not look good. Even with the knife he just received, there were too many vines and obstacles in his way.
quickly rushed over to Ratigan who looked like he was in big trouble. With him being pinned down to the floor, and another wave approaching, he needed to free him or he could drown. Plus, he might need of assistance to his plans. Varian rushed towards Ratigan and bent down to start pulling out the spikes. "Ratigan, I need your help. If you carry me on your back and get me close enough to Negaduck, I have a way to weaken Negaduck. Can you help?" Varian said as he pulled thorns, hoping to save Ratigan before the waves arrived.

After Varian, had helped pull out most of the spikes, Ratigan quickly rose to his feet pulling the remaining ones off him. He turned to the boy, and with a murderous grin, he lifted the boy off his feet and pulled him to eye level. "Can I help? Why Varian my boy, I'll do more than that!" With that, the Rat slung Varian over his shoulder, not really caring about the boys' well being, and began his march towards Negaduck.

As soon as Varian saw that manic look in Ratigan's eye, he started regretting this action. Then suddenly Ratigan grabbed him and swung him across his shoulder. Varian was forced to endure a bumpy ride as Ratigan ran and marched across the garden like a madman. Luckily, the Rat still did his job and was getting him closer to Negaduck now. Just a little more and he can throw the goo compound bomb.

The Horned King's horrid face wrinkled with displeasure as the combined efforts of his allies were still not enough to make the mega-mallard kneel, let alone be taken down completely. Upon seeing the torrent of water jettisoned their way, the lich followed in his fellow sorcerer's stead, launching another pair of fiery orbs in hopes of dispersing the wave.
"Blasted contemptible fowl! Fall already!"

Seems like he missed. McLeach reloaded another shot into his rifle and fired at Negaduck's wooden arm from his distance again. Maybe the lack of wind magic would bring a different result.

"Never!" Negaduck shouted towards the sorcerers as his wave of water has disappeared into a huge fog of stream. Taking advantage of sudden change due to the stream, Negaduck creates a mallet made of water and solidify. While the thick fog stream covers the field, Negaduck slowly creeps up behind Mozenrath and swings at him.
Meanwhile the crystal in Negaduck's possession begin slowly glowing, meaning it already has absorbed the magic and already hunger for more.
(OOC: Once more, I have to apologize for keeping everyone waiting. It was due to New Years, then got sick, and had no Wifi since yesterday.)

The sudden fog, was a quite of an annoyance to Ratigan, as it clouded the rat's sight. Still, he didn't let that stop him, as he continued charging towards where Negaduck had once been. Only to discover he had since moved him. To his surprise, he had also disappeared through the fog, which seemed incredibly unlikely given the duck's current size. With an annoyed growl, Ratigan exclaimed: "SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!!!" Though, after a few seconds of calming down, a different idea came to mind. Perhaps he couldn't see the changed duck…but.
He raised his nose to the air, and began to sniff. His all ready keen sense of smell heightened by the potion, he was able to sniff out almost every water particle in the fog. It took him a while, but eventually he managed to sniff out a large gathering of saltwater…and grass…and bird. "There you are…" Ratigan said with a grin. And thus he resumed his chase, running towards the place of his smell. Which was also rather close, to the rest of his allies.

The sparkle caught Mozenrath's eye.
"The crystal is responding," he told the Horned King. "Not at overload yet...but that should be fixed soon, if we're creative. For example..."
A great sphere of magic was launched into the air above Negaduck's head, expanding as it sailed. Once it reached the zenith, exploding into a rain of fizzling embers that poured down over Negaduck, sure to cause pain wherever they touched before making a beeline to the crystal.
(This entire battle was sending horrible shooting pains through the edges of the flesh on Mozenrath's right arm, where it gave way to bone. He was sure he'd lost at least an inch of it this time. No pain, no gain.)

Negaduck stopped in his tracks, look above and to his surprised reaction, a hail of burning ember was raining down directly towards him. Negaduck tries to escape from the hailing ember but already felt the burning charcoals on his whole body. Negaduck then shoots out from his palm a water blast towards the embers, which while still raining, the flames been put out.
"So you want to fight fire with fire ehh? Well two can" *CRASH!* Before Negaduck could finish his sentence, he was suddenly crashed from above by a giant size piano. Negaduck crawls out from underneath the piano with keys still in his mouth like a cartoonish matters.

If Negaduck's multiple scents were a give away to his location, then sudden rain of fire & the giant piano falling onto of him, most certainly were. Ratigan, didn't know where said piano come from, and if he was honest, he didn't really care. The only thing that mattered was that he at last, had the duck in his sights. He picked up the pace and ran towards the duck. Seeing his currently stunned fate, he leapt towards his face, dropping Varian along the way, and resumed his previous attack, slashing at the oversized mallard.
