Note: quickdraws are by no means lethal in any regard, and there isn't a note that you have such items on your character sheet. In order for anything to be lethal, it has to have at least a total charge of 4 (it can be divided 3/1, 2/2, or a single 4). It's still safe to say they can explode, but piercing through and killing them is too powerful for a quickdraw, even if the quickdraw is just a activation of the items' abilities. I'll work with what you put, but know that important items that your character has should be included on the character sheet (to be fair), and even then, it should be charged (possibly with the homing grant?) still in order to be lethal.
Cynterialis detected that the man's mana was gathering just a moment after his. He couldn't know of the fact that the man's was a pyrokinetic buildup, however, neither would the man know of his photokinetic buildup[1], either. Cynterialis just barely had an edge, only because he started sooner. Although Cynterialis' wrapping on the lower half of his face would stop him from breathing in the gas, acting like a filter if he should breathe, the gas was surely not a good sign.
What use could they have of gas, he thought for a moment, and then, a realization came. It was a textbook example of how to effectively make an advantage of a pyrokinetic or arcane fireball attack. Don't tell me I'm going to need a new suit...
Cynterialis was getting annoyed even further. What did he have in his disposal? Almorr strength, speed and stamina, mana sensitivity, immunity to pain... subjugation, photokinetics, hand-to-hand and swordplay... he didn't have much to use. "Textbook Fire-advantage!" he shouted to Csilla, though he wasn't exactly sure what she would be able to do about it. "Gas is probably flammable," he added. Not to mention, toxic, he thought to himself. Even if he should breathe it in, the MagiTech that was now a part of him, playing a role in all of his vital functions, would purge the toxicity from him, and not particularly affect him at all; the flame is what would be dangerous.

Hmmm, I should work on that. I did write there modified bow and arrow, but I'll make it more specific. It has been edited. The homing arrow was only able to injure the men and not kill them, so Csilla tried to knock them out with broken wooden parts or tables or chairs as they were clutching on to their impaled limbs or wounds. She would either throw them the parts or hit them squarely in the heads of their attackers.
Csilla overheard the male's announcement and finally noticed the gas in the air, as the pipes were torn apart by one man. She looked up to see that the man charging up mana was gathering more[1]. She clicked her tongue and let an arrow fly towards him, but it was deflected by yet another barrier, similar to the one that protected the man holding the invisible sword earlier. She pondered on what to do next. All she could do now was to intercept him and stop the charging as much as possible, that would require close combat or close range. She had some basic fighting with a knife already, as taught by her father in earlier years, then she took up archery in school, which helped her a lot in long range and is her forte. But having a knife would be beneficial if an arrow cannot penetrate in close range. So she readied the knife hanging on her side as she readied her arrows as well. For her to reach the roof, she would need a boost.
"I need a lift. Could you throw me up?" she asked out loud, directed at the male, hoping he could give her a boost up now to stop the charging. She would do everything in her capabilities to prevent the advantage in being done. "You handle things here," she added, now for both the male and the innkeeper. They had no time to lose.

Cynterialis didn't bother to question what her plan of action was; anything was better than nothing, and he didn't particularly care for the loss of lives if things didn't work. If she was making a suicide run, that was on her. It would eradicate the possibility of actually holding a conversation with her later, but that wasn't quite as important as his living on. He couldn't have a conversation with her if he was dead, and the conversation wasn't exactly worth fighting for.
Sure, they were fighting together, but Cynterialis didn't quite care; he had things he needed to do, and that outweighed the lives of those around him. So, even though her plan to have him assist her up to where the mana seemed to be concentrating seemed like a suicide run to him, he nodded and then held his left hand so she could step onto it. When she would, he'd merely swing his arm up, which alone would be enough to propel her a good distance into the air, but if she kicked off right, she'd manage to reach the exact area she was aiming for. They didn't have time for error, so second and third attempts were by far out of the question. He doubted that she'd even make it, as well. They'd have likely planned for something to reach up to where they are.
Meanwhile, Cynterialis wouldn't allow the effort to get in the way of his buildup of mana[1]. That was vital, regardless. Depending on how long he was given, he could definitely make use of it. Just show yourself, you damn coward... stop sending your lackeys in to die...
Keilen watched them work, tilting her head a little. They worked quite well together, it seemed, so she started doubting the fact that they could've just been forced together under these circumstances. She looked down and smiled quietly, a sudden realization coming to her. If they win this thing, I get to say I helped... wait til my husband hears of this, she thought. It would make one hell of a story. Surely, at this point, news of what is going on here would be reaching across the city. This couldn't last much longer, or else the ones attacking would have to face the Suwnloe City Guard. Surely they were on their way now...
Sure enough, the City Guard was indeed stirring from the news. It was a little more than just a street-brawl, and so it would take a little more than just a single guard or two in order to take care of the situation. Well, that is... unless one of the commanding officers decided to show up. Sure enough, a man by the name of Iunde was already en route... quite quickly. He was armed with a full suit of MagiTech-plated armor that had anti-magic seals sporadically engraved into it, allowing for magics to be stopped, especially if he were to charge it, and he had a shield-and-lance with him. The shield had a rune of fire resist engraved into the front, and his lance was lined with enchantment symbols all along the item. If one were to be adept with arcane magic, and thus the arcane language, they'd see the enchantment to be one of "spacial distortion", or, more specifically, the ability to stab basically wherever he wishes it to stab. Iunde was already charging both his armor[2] and his lance[3] for his arrival[4]

Csilla ran up to him and jumped on his palm, as he would begin to throw her, she jumped off on the peak angle and used the force to propel her up. She reached the rooftop and stood across the guy charging up[1] which was just a few feet away. Drawing a circle on her left back palm, she charged up some mana [2] which would only allow her to use quickdraws for some amount of time. It would tire her for sure but it was needed at this moment. Seeing a crowd of men behind him, they charged towards her. She readied her bow and let the arrows fly. She used once again the homing arrow [3] as it punctured some skin of the men. As they would groan or fall from the pain, she would let a normal arrow fly, aiming for their chests or heads in that slight moment of vulnerability.
As the other men ran closer, she would run and flip, putting her hands on the ground and push herself up to the other side. When she landed, she would get one arrow and aim it at the head of the nearest attacker. Repeating the same process until they were closer once more. She had take down many in that duration. Checking back to her quiver, she found she only had six arrows left.
The homing arrow went back to her and she put it back in her arrow quiver. They were definitely trying to push her out of the roof and away from the guy. Knowing this tactic, she had one plan in mind to counter it. She pushed the cloth from under her chin up to her nose bridge, tucking back the bow behind her. Counting fifteen men at the most, she took out the knife and crouched. With less load being held, she would be able to move quicker. She was flexible, after all so that gave her an advantage. When they were close, she muttered a grant [4] that made the blade's sharpness elongate a few inches, three at most. It wasn't powerful enough to stay for the entire fight, only for a brief moment if she were to utter the word and it would disappear after.
Running to intercept the men, she slid across the ground after running and inflicted some cuts in their lower limbs with blinding speed. She then used her free hand to push her up, landing a kick on one man's face. After, she would use that man as leverage and shield. Then she'd kick a man's groin, using this time to knee kick his face and make him unconscious. At best, she would dodge some oncoming fists and hands from different angles. If it was too much of a crowd, she would twist one arm and step on the man's shoulder to make her jump in the air and land on another side, cutting some men whose backs were on her. Sometimes, she would use a man's neck to twist herself behind him, hearing a snap on his neck and she kicked him forward to stop some who were across her. At some instances, she muttered the grant, making the cuts deeper and damaging but it would be for a few moments because it would really drain her in massive amounts because she was charging mana on her left back palm.

2. Infictio [0]
3. Homing arrow [Quickdraw]: It would let the arrow cut some skin as it would go through each man in its flying course before it nullified as it would go back to Csilla. After cutting five men, it went back to Csilla and thus the quickdraw ended.
4.Deep cut [Quickdraw]: A muttering grant that makes the cut deeper as it would make contact on the skin. Only applicable when muttered, and would disappear as it came.

In combat situations, and in most stories this will be true as well, you are only limited to a maximum of two "actions" per post. You are allowed a maximum of - 1 charge and one block/dodge/attack
- 2 Charge-ups of different attacks
- Two physical actions (block/attack, block/dodge, attack/attack)

I see. I apologize. I had not known there was a limit. That or it slipped my mind if there was a time you told me.
I've been away for quite a long time. Will we still continue this?

As I said before, this is training, so the time ruling doesn't quite apply here. If this were a "real story" then I would be enforcing the rule, but it doesn't apply here.

Cynterialis could sense the powerful buildup. He really didn't want to waste the mana on destroying the building, but at this point, he was starting to consider it. The main source of the attackers, the main source of the entire effort still hadn't shown, and this was extremely vexing to Cynterialis. Show your damn face! Regardless of the ringleader or ringleaders' arrival or lack thereof, he continued building up the mana he was collecting[1]. It was at a lethal level now, however at this point he was considering bringing it to a level that he knew would clear the building, but he wanted to wait. He wanted to wait until someone of importance to this whole attack was present so it would wipe him out as well. He thought about Csilla for a moment. If he fired the attack off, and he didn't guard her in some way, she would die as well.
He might have been in it for himself, but the idea of the conversation that they could have was something that he wouldn't destroy himself. Sigh. Female...
Lunde made it to the scene and silently cursed to himself. Yeah, it was greater than a simple bar fight. He didn't even have to step inside of the building. The tugging at his gut indicated the strong amount of mana building up almost everywhere, it seemed, in the building. He could also see some of the damage already, and he saw that, through a window that was shattered, there was a lot of internal damage. Lunde needed a target, but he wasn't sure where the targets actually were. He waited, instead, and focused on his own mana. He continued charging his armor[2] and his lance[3].

When the men charged to her in a way to prevent her from approaching the man building up the mana [1], Csilla would mutter the grant [2] that would allow her arrows to penetrate their targets in a swift and harsh manner. Although it wasn't a fatal blow, it would still be enough to immobilize them in pain. "Infictio." At that word, her arrow tips glowed until it engulfed the entire weapon. She would then take mutiple arrows and let them loose, hitting her targets in an instant. The action continued until there were about fifteen men left. Csilla looked at her quiver and found that she had six arrows left. With no other option, she thought of keeping her bow behind and attack in meelee mode, using the knife sheathed in her waist.

Cynterialis could sense that the mana charging above him was getting too great. Then a sudden realization came to him. He might not be a fire user, but because light also had heat as a secondary element to it, the spike in heat when he released the attack would serve just as good as a fireball. Csilla didn't seem to be stopping the charge of mana, and Cynterialis wasn't about to let himself die. Shame, he thought to himself. but I'm not going to let him obliterate me.
Cynterialis held his palm up towards the ceiling, the white-and-red wrappings adding an ominous feel to it as a small twinkle manifested maybe an inch above his palm. Then, in the same instant that the twinkle faded, an extreme flash of white-hot light enveloped the entire building1; the flash was bad enough, causing enough heat to inflict third-degree burns, but in addition with the gas that was filling the room, the flare's heat would cause the gas to explode, resulting in greater disintegration and annihilation of the environment around Cynterialis. The building, which was already shaken from his previous attack as well as the attacks from the seemingly endless army trying to break their way in, would completely fall apart, however because of the flare as well as the explosion radius, Cynterialis would be protected from debris that would otherwise damage the surroundings. Or, at least, the little debris that would survive the disintegrating flare and explosion combination. The ground itself was completely scorched from the explosion, and the flare's heat had helped make it "extra dead". It helped that they were underground, where grass was not an issue, so the scorched ground was mostly stone and the platforms that made up Suwnloe. The platform's grates would let some of the bioluminescent water be evaporated, but it didn't seem to do much in response.
Cynterialis would be standing within the very center of the destruction, having been the epicenter and catalyst anyway. He didn't at all seem bothered that he had just annihilated the building as well as just about everybody who was within it. If anybody was going to try to go for Cynterialis further, now they would be in the open. Sneaking into the fight would be infinitely harder. Similarly, since the amount of living bodies was cut down significantly, the mana pools that people possessed around him would be far easier to distinguish. The only ones that were left would be those that approached him. The field was cleared, just about literally.
Lunde wasn't prepared for the sudden burst. He was too close. He wasn't even within the building, but since he was close to it, the flare would also envelop him in a moment, burning him to much the same effect that the sun would have. For just that split moment, it was like the sun was within Suwnloe, and the destruction around the blast definitely reflected that fact. Lunde was incinerated in just a moment. Boom. Nothing more. The same would be true for everything caught in the blast.
1. Photokinetics[5+]: Light produces heat, heat being the element that would cause the gas to cause an explosion. The combined effects caused a complete annihilation of everything immediately around the building and just about the entirety of said building. Anybody within or around the building has now been completely incinerated.
Note: This is training, so your character doesn't have to be considered dead outside of this thread. Consider this a simulation, of sorts. No impact on anything outside.

There are no more chances for my character to live? Even if she threw herself by the arrow on to the tallest building 50 feet away using a QuickDraw if she were to detect the slight mana he used on the last moment?? Of course she won't be unharmed.. |

She'd have to be gone the turn before, as a charge of 5 is meant to be overkill, not just simply lethal effect. Keep in mind, this is training, so your character isn't dead outside of here, but this is just exemplifying what a 5+ would do. If someone or something pulls a 5, or even worse, a 5+ on you, you're more than just gone. |
