Hide behind one of the dancing villagers, use them as a shield as you make a construct

>>1107286
GIT HIM
GIT HIS ASS
HIT HIM WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT

>>1107294
Yes this!

Construct time! Preferably something that will crush him? Something big and imposing to squish the hero and restrain him.

>>1107294
To add onto this. Pretend to play a song before fully using your instrument as a blunt object to throw him off.

hit im with the lute, bwang!

>So many votes for melee despite that it'd break the summoning device.
...Sure, it fits her character but still. Well here's hoping he dodges. We could play it off as a feint maybe?

Dissonance pretended to play her instrument while moving closer to Purifier and when he was expecting a magic attack she hit him with her instrument. The attack didn't destroy her music tool because it is protected with magic.

While Dissonance was hiding behind the villager she did manage to summon a big construct. Something big and imposing to squish the hero and restrain him.

Get on the big guy's back and have him punch that dummy's armor off.

Well your in a clothing destination fight and from the look of things you are losing the battle. Be afraid be very afraid.

Eek! Our costume! He’ll pay for that! Go, construct! Squish him! Our lack of dress might make us blush a bit but the show must go on! Do NOT drop your instrument in a flustered panic. This is probably how he’s gotten you before. “OOoOoOhHhH I’ll just make Dissonance drop her instrument and then take it!” Not this time!

ride it like a mechanical bull

>>1107566
Try to unmask him, that's gonna be a real blow to the confidence.

have construct grab him with both hands and shake him till his armor falls off.

It's quite clear he's a dodgy one. Have your golem continue to try and grab him, but you'll need to provide some extra power on the side. Use your lute to try and force him into a dance. Make him sway into the golem if you can.

It feels like he is charging his special attack, he will be the one coming to you so get ready.

I like the idea of going for the mask~ Oughta shake him up a bit~

But what Dissonance didn't know is that the construct wasn't the only thing that the attack chopped in half. The last piece of armor is barely holding in its place and the slightest movement can make it fall off.

Our precious construct!!! Rage time! Our panties might fall off, but we won’t notice cuz we’re too busy bashing this guy’s head in with our instrument! Just fly directly at him! Try and strip him in the process if you can, but we need to incapacitate this man, ASAP!

She's still got numbers on her side. Should he fly well... either the people toss stuff at him for clothing damage or he gets out of their range in which case MORE SUMMONS! FLYING SUMMONS! Either way he's disadvantaged. Effective use of numbers is, well, effective.

say, isn't in a way, the hero is helping you cause chaos by causing some chaos to happen to you and your outfit? the idiot fell right into your hands... right Herald of Chaos? right???

EXTREME response would be along the lines of "Well I'll just have to beat out those eyes so you can't see! Followed by beating your head so you forget what you saw!" Probably too EXTREME though. Less extreme would be tearing off his stuff so you two have even footing. "GRAH! Let's see how you like it pal!"

Keep whacking till he stops looking at you.

Whack him again to knock him out! Then you can put on HIS clothes, since he’s so rudely destroyed your own outfit. Once you’ve dressed yourself, you can tie him up somewhere precarious and consider yourself victorious~

(Also, his clothes are probably fireproof, so even if he breaks free, he can’t pull the same stunt as before. Come to think of it, why haven’t we invested in a fireproof costume ourselves, actually? Do we secretly like this or something?~)

Fky away in embarrassment!

>>1107758
Well, you're a bard, aren't you? Have you considered trying to...you know, tease him? You're above him. Literally above him. In a pretty precarious position. I'd think you can make something that might get his guard down while you prepare to take all his stuff.

B) End it here.

Ending it here would be a bit anticlimatic don't you think? Should at least continue it a little.

How unsportsmanlike of him to attack while we are stuck! It would seem combat has ended. We can still profusely object to this arrangement!

Don't give up! wiggle around, try to bite his dumb helmet fin

>>1108183
Well, you seem to be stuck for now. Try to aim for making him as uncomfortable as possible by teasing him. Call him a pervert for going after your clothing or something.

There isn’t much we can realistically do for him to let us out of this hay… Oh! While he’s forced to listen to our grumbling, ask how he was made aware of the herald of chaos summoning stuff. He shouldn’t know about that!
