Stella frowned a bit. "Okay here's the plan. Ai, you and Inoue will remain behind and provide whatever support is needed with healing items. If anything goes wrong, I want you two to take whoever is left and make a bolt back to the vehicle to return to base." She said. "The rest of you I want to take out the smaller bombs first. I'll keep the queen busy while you do that. Get it? Got it? Good let's go!" With that she drew both Excalibur, and Masamune and leapt in with a double stab into the queen!
12 stones in acrobatics 4 to leap at the Bomb, 2 shifted to defense, and 6 combined with...
6 eff in close combat +15 from swords 6 shifted to defense the rest to impale the Queen Bomb! (rolls a 9)
H: 6/6, 3/4 E: 24/33, 0/9

"Leave it to us!" Pyrrha said, as the girls quickly moved to engage the lesser Bombs, with magical attacks, ranged weapons, and if all else failed, finishing them up with melee if they got too close, while Lucy used protection spells whenever any Bomb got too close to the group.
The Queen Bomb screeched in rage and pain as Stella stabbed her good! It retaliated with a Firaga spell against her, burning her slightly though she stood strong! (OOC: Took 2w, or 6r.)

Stella grimaced as parts of her kimono and hakama were burned away. "Okay, looks like I need this!" She said loading Double Cut into Masamune and attacking with two very quick slashes.
14 eff in close combat +8 from Masamune 7 shifted to defense. The rest vs Queen Bomb... will use Double Cut to make two attacks. (rolls a 19, and a 15)

The Queen Bomb was slashed twice by the renowned samurai, critically injuring her! Yet, she survived still... just enough to begin flashing faster and faster, as well as smoking, as she was clearly about to explode! But Stella's companions stood ready; Mana drained her energy to limit the power of the incoming explosion, and Lucy used a Shell spell around the monster to contain it! The magical shield shattered from the impact, but aside from a burst of heat and a lot of smoke, they were no worse for the wear, though the strain had apparently exhausted Lucy. The rest of the team quickly and efficiently dispatched the remaining Bombs, leaving them victorious!

Stella fell to one bare knee breathing a bit heavily. "Good work everyone. We have won today." She said.

Naomi walked up to her side after taking care of the injured members of the team, and handed her a vial. "Here. Have a little drink on the house", she recommended. OOC: Potion will refill her Energy to the max.

"Thanks." Stella said. "Do a final sweep for any stray monsters or loot and then we'll gather the wounded and head back to town." Stella said. "Good work everyone. You all did great today."
4 in Int to search the room for any items or objects of note.

A quick sweep of the cave revealed no more surviving monsters, a huge sword, a box of medical injectors with filled vials (most of which had been shattered by the explosions in the room), an handheld device consisting of a handle, chain and spearhead like end, and a small version of one of those wooden puppet-like figures used in anatomy classes.

"Anyone know how to appriase this stuff?" Stella asked.
6 eff in General Knowledge to try and figure out what it all is.

The only one Stella could tell much about was the sword. It was basically a huge chunk of metal at the end of an handle, very well crafted but very simple. It was neither particularly sharp nor especially blunt, but it would take quite a bit of strength to both wield it, and properly cut with it. Needless to say, she was quite capable of doing so, herself.
"I'm an alchemist, items are my specialty. Leave it to me", Naomi said as she moved to check the items out. Examining them, she explained their general properties. Gained:
-Buster Sword (+3, Usable as a shield, Requires Str 4+ to wield. A former favorite of Cloud Strife.) -Stimpacks x6 (+1 to all Physical Actions for 5 minutes/10 panels; Lose 1w of Health at the end of the Duration.) -Grappling Hook (+2, Normal and Stun damage, Range 3; alternately adds +2 to Acrobatics/Agility to move around.) -Wooden Puppet (An enchanted puppet. 1/day, may be activated to serve its master for 1 hour; the Puppet has Abilities of 1, and Close Combat 1 (Agl.bonus). If 'killed', it is simply deactivated and inert again for the day. Otherwise indestructible. Surprisingly strong, agile and nimble for its small size.)

Stella nodded. "Okay. I'll pick up the sword. The rest of you can decide who gets the rest of the loot on the way back." She said picking up the sword like it weighed nothing.

After a quick discussion, Naomi took the stimpacks, Pyrrha grabbed the grappling hook and Mana took the wooden puppet.

If there was nothing else going on Stella led them back to the vehicle for the ride home.

The group - including the still quite naked Inglis - went back into the vehicle and began driving home. Luckily, there was no interruption this time, allowing them to either enjoy the ride peacefully, or have some fun discussing or something. Either way, the exhausted Ai slept the whole way back.

"Inoue, can you drive Tomoe to town to pick up.... the items for her dare after dropping us off?" Stella asked. "I don't think I can visit town dressed like this." She said.
