[ET-F1] Something Wicker This Way Comes... TIER 1 BOSS

[The Scarecrow 2]

Vines began to cover everything between and around you, forcing you to one side of the circus tent. Standing and looking around you notice a large figure before you standing at 240 cm tall(8 ft). The figure depicts that of a scarecrow, but soon an arm twitches. And after, the entire body springs to life. The once inanimate object springs to life and blocks the way. It stares at the players around him, almost judging them.
"Your armor looks tough." It speaks out in a loud raspy voice. "But it leads one to wonder," as a large scythe is brandished from behind him. "How armored, are your souls?" As it prepares to enter a battle.

[Cordelia 0]

Cordelia stiffened as multiple strings of vines grew around her. "What the hell?" She muttered, stepping away from the green tendrils with an uneasy feeling. Well, why the hell is she uneasy? She's going to own this!

Her eyes traveled up a figure not too incredibly far away from her. "Well that's not creepy at all," Cordelia mumbled, staring at him straight in the eyes-- and probably into whatever kind of 'soul' he has as well.

"That doesn't even make sense-" she cut herself off and shrugged. Whatever Kayaba, you do you. You do you and you're freaky Halloween event or whatever. She just hopes his ass doesn't get sad when she absolutely destroys this thing. Actually, no. She hope his ass does get sad. 'Cause screw you, Kayaba!

The girl looked around and frowned. Did she even know anyone here? She sure hope she did. She didn't see Oscar nor Bahr. Perhaps they were outside of these vines?

[Penelo 0]

NOTE TO ALL PLAYERS PARTIED WITH PENELO: Group Buff: +1 ACC | +1 LD | Negates Darkness

Penelo's eyes would open wide as she watched a ton of vines began to cover everything, backing her up to a specific side of the tent with a few other players. "Oh hey. Thats not cool at all" she would say with distaste as she looked at the scarecrow beginning to move. Quickly moving through her inventory, she would equip her new armor, Jack's Embrace, a tight leather armor that let off a wispy flame form her body. She would also light her antern, sticking it onto her side. She held her spear, pointing it at the boss. There was absolutely nothing she could do with it, but maybe it would keep the monster away. She would be the healer, an essential unit to the team. Or at least she hoped. She spotted a white haired girl that was trapped with her inside of the vines. "Hey you! If you can damage that thing, I can keep you alive!" She munched a corndog that she got from the voucher really quick. "Your Accuracy is boosted just for being with me!" she said with a smile.

[Arabelle 0]

Arabelle transitioned into her armor and pinned her black phoenix brooch to her chest. She turned back to the two girls she had previously teamed up with and tilted her head at Jack the Demented Ringleader. "Both of you, stay near the stand. You've got everything you need and this big one is for the pros only!" Her scythe appeared at her side (she wasn't using the other one yet) and she gave them a winning smile before withdrawing herself from her team with An. 

The boss surely moved fast. She walked forward and suddenly found vines stretching out from the center, dividing the tent into sections. Maybe the concession stand was still a safe spot. Maybe An and Mishiro immediately teleported away. She didn't really care to know; she had something else to busy herself with.

Rising up in their section of their tent was a large scarecrow that was easily twice their size. 

"How armored are your souls?"

Oh, ew. Armor. Thought Arabelle as she discarded the wrapping of her obnoxious corn dog and buffed her MIT. Pulling out another item from her inventory, she snacked on a cake that should boost her damage as she approached the two players starting to form up in front of the scarecrow. Was this going to be another stall fight? 

"Oh, you're that girl from the other event," she greeted the blonde healer neutrally. The one that ran away when things dragged on for too long. She had her lantern with her again but considering her level, that was probably the only thing she was good for. Arabelle tilted her head and smiled innocently. "Where did you run off to when the Star-Crossed Event was only partway done? The buff would have been helpful, you know..."

She wasn't trying to pick a fight in the middle of a boss battle though.

"I'll work separately. I don't need the ACC buff at the moment."

Arabelle strayed from the other two. It was only when she got closer that she realized the weapon Scarecrow was touting behind its back was a scythe. Tilting her head, the small purple-haired girl flaunted her own: a large black scythe that was even larger than her person and responded to a small burst of energy with a green flare.

"I'll burn that dumb straw body of yours to ashes."

[Jinx 0]

Jinx had been given a 'job', in a ways. To come to the fight, to look after them. While fighting monsters still wasn't her go-to action, she had been asked and besides, if other people were there, it would make her life a lot easier...right?! It was this hoping that led the girl to the arena of the boss fight, and was super happy to see out of the three people there, one she did know!

Naturally, she ran right up to Arabelle with a bright smile, as if completely oblivious to the danger  "Arabelle! I-is everything ok? I got worried, i wasn't sure if you were here but...Well, i guess...Together?" The girl was completely oblivious to the fact she had completely skipped over parts of her sentence. In this break of action, Jinx opened up her menu (after 2 failed attempts) and sent Arabelle a party request. Stryder had asked her to help her allies here, and how else would she?  Of course, any time to correct is vanished when she spotted the monster. 

It was then the girl rememvered it had said something about the armour of their souls? What did the mean? She spent many moments trying to think what the hell it meant, and after failing to draw clear conclusions, the girl replied with a brutal calmness and kindness in her voice, as well as replying in Chinese (For those who don't use auto-translate)

"The armour of ones soul is unbreakable...And with my friend at my side...You'll break first"

2200 col sent to Jack

Yukiro was sprinting back to the event area.
How had he missed this? It was so obvious that there would be a boss at an event like this! 
You're such an IDIOT, Yukiro! Please, please make it on time!
Naturally, he would make a fool of himself only when it seemed to really matter.
As he sprinted down a certain hill, he tripped, his face hitting the ground like a brick, his speed causing him to slide a short ways on his face. His body slowly overtook his head in speed, and he flipped over and fell onto his back.
Springing up, he looked around, praying nobody had seen. He didn't see anybody. Good.
Wait, what was this feeling of familiarity with this scene? 
Eh, no matter.
He once again took off, shooting toward the tent like his life depended on it. 
Because someone else's just might.
As he reached the tent, he saw a giant... pumpkin? 
Was anybody else confused?
But he didn't really have the time to be confused. Shortly after arriving, vines trapped him in the tent. He glanced around. It looked like he was in a walled off section with some other players. 
And he recognized one! 
"Hey! @Cordelia!" he called to the now-different looking girl, "Wanna party up?"

[NIGHT 0]

NIGHT skid to a halt, as she had attempted to leave the venue. A scatter of vines had blocked her path! This wouldn't do at all, she'd be late for the boss!

A large, dancing figure in the midst crowd caught her attention, and she thought it was one of those dancing blow-up figures at car dealers. It wasn't, unfortunately, being a rather intimidating scarecrow with a scythe, but she quickly realized it was the boss as it spoke, its voice echoing and booming.

"Souls don't have armor!" NIGHT called out, slightly peeved. Okay, what's the plan, Ren?

Step one: Take a bite of the Obnoxious Corn Dog. She struggled to keep it down, breaking the rest of the item into crystal ash with a squeeze of her hand. Note to self: Oily, tastes like plastic, don't eat it again.

Step two: Wolf down the Funnel Cake. It looked familiar enough. She took a bite out of it, before taking a few more. Much more edible, she thought. Need to refine it's edibility experience though, for further improvement.

Step three. She pulled out her new weapon, brandishing it for show, attempting to sparse the flood of players around her. Calling out to the crowd, she hollered, "If anyone's planning on fighting that thing, count me in!" Taking up a stance, NIGHT appeared resolute; she wasn't planning on dying here -- not yet.

Mina arrived in the area as quickly as she could, already swapping on her armor and her new weapon, <<Jack's Burned Lament>>, which was sheathed at her side. Her hood was pulled up, and she had her mask on, obscuring the upper part of her face. she was eating a few of the obnoxious corn dogs, and after those were finished, she devoured the funnel cake, granting her bonus damage, and even an extra accuracy! She noted 3 people that she recognized from other events and locations, and three that she did not. Thankfully, they were all familiar faces, and one of them was even a healer! She gave a semi-friendly wave to Penelo, though she completely ignored Arabelle, who was being somewhat hostile to the players that had dipped out of the event that involved the star-crossed lovers. Oh well, not her problem. she just hoped that the girl could keep her grievances with those people out of the boss fight. She made a mental note to keep an eye on the players that looked like they were going to be injured by the giant scarecrow. she checked her inventory, smiling. "Mou! anyone need TP crystals!? I got a bunch of them that I don't mind handing out!"

Yukiro was looking between the scarecrows scythe and his jacket. Something told him his MIT wasn't going to cut it.
"Mou! Anyone need TP crystals!? I got a bunch of them that I don't mind handing out!"
Looking up, he saw a clearly higher-level player who happened to be offering free lifelines. While he did have a tinge of guilt doing so, it was better to get her help than to die. He quickly jogged over to her.
"Pardon. If I may take advantage of you're offer, can you spare a crystal?"
He was given a teleport crystal. 
"You have my thanks. I promise to repay you one day." With that, he drew his sword and moved closer to the boss monster. 
As he did so, he noticed Night standing in the room. What was she doing here!? Was she strong enough for this!? 
He'd better do what he could. This was not a situation for feelings. Not yet at least.
"Night! Party!" he called, sending and invite.

[NIGHT 0]

"Mou!" NIGHT heard a cry from the crowd, on the other side of the room. "Anyone need TP crystals!? I got a bunch of them that I don't mind handing out!"

A bunch? She'd recall hearing about the item being a savior in risky businesses. Then don't mind if I do...

Jogging over, NIGHT tried to figure out who the voice belonged to. "Uh," she called out, trying to respond in general, "Me please! Teleport Crystals wanted here!"

"Night! Party!" Whipping around, she spotted Yukiro quickly working through the menus. "Hai!" She hollered back, rushing over. With dexterity, she accepted the oncoming party invite and regrouped over with him. A flash of blue from Yukiro caught her eye, "Is that a teleport crystal?"

Looking about, she checked to see if the player who'd called out earlier was around. Maybe the big give away was the inventory menu that was open. Approaching her and asking gently, NIGHT was provided a teleport crystal.

[Nora 0]

What am I even doing here?!?!?! Nora was slightly freaking out, she is too low leveled for this event, but since the entrance has been blocked and there is only one way out of this circus alive. To fight through it. Nora took a deep breath and calming down her beating heart. When she opens her eyes again, the fear that was there previously was replaced with some firey determination. There must be other players here as well, she needs to find them and maybe joining a party if a newbie like her wants any chance of surviving this night.

Nora brought a corndog and a funnel cake from the stand and swallows them down. Something tells her that she will need it. 

Then she heard about something about crystal. "Excuse me! Could you spare a crystal for me as well? " She asked the lady offering the crystal in the distance and received a crystal, screw her pride, there is no time for that when survival is at stake! She then noticed Yukiro and Night, and there was a sudden surge of a relief feeling coming over her, at least she knows somebody. "Night! Yuki! Add me to your party as well!"

Minako stood up, rubbing her head. Did she fall? No, memories came rushing back to her. She didn't fall, she was forced down. She was tossed onto the ground after vines had erupted from the earth and blocked her from making a quick escape. She stood up, looking around. She was entrapped in a dome of vines, several voices all ringing out at once. Teleport crystals, parties, all sorts of nonsense that didn't make sense to her. She changed into her battle attire. Along with the stats they provided, a bit of a confidence boost came with it. She swallowed her fear and moved forward, brandishing her new weapon. "So, we're to fight that big scarecrow yeah?" She asked the room, hoping someone would take the lead. She was confused and didn't understand what was going one. But she pieced some of it together. Vines must've been the pumpkin guy, and the scarecrow in front of her must have been a minion of his. But it was tall, big, and menacing. It must have been a boss summoned by that Jack guy.

[The Scarecrow 2]

Look at them, scrambling, trying to gather what courage they have to muster a meager fighting force. Unorganized. Unkempt. Afraid. These words described each, and every one of the players below. And he would kill them. He would kill, each and every one of them because that is what his majesty wished. And it is what his majesty would get. He politely waited as they drank their drinks, and ate their foods. A boorish display of barbaric proportions, but he wished to relish in the coming moods. He would let them reach their highest, only then to snuff all hope away. He would drain the hope from them, one by one crushing their spirits and resolve until they were nothing but sniveling piles of fear and nothingness. He couldn't help but let out a laugh. "This is your fighting force?" He mocked. "Frankly, I expected more. But this will have to do." He said, standing up straight brandishing his scythe once more. "If you are all finished preparing for your inevitable demise," It began. "Perhaps we should get this grisly dance underway?" He said once more, resuming his battle stance.

Yukiro: HP 200/200 | EN 16/20 (-4)

Gotta move fast. This won't end well if we don't rush an attack. 
Yukiro drew his sword and darted forward, letting the tip of Jack's Purgatory scrape loudly against the ground. 
"My apologies, I've never been any good at dancing," he shouted, trying to get the thing's attention, "Perhaps you'd be willing to teach me?"
Despite his confident words, his mind was racing. He'd never fought a scythe before, much less one used by a man made of straw. He'd have to be very careful of what it might be capable of. 
Taking a running leap towards the thing Yukiro swiped his sword down towards its head. The Scarecrow reacted fast, whipping its scythe up to block the blow. 
Perfect.
"It's weapons out of the way! Get it before it can fight back!" He yelled at the other players as he was flung back, slamming into a wall. 
He had hit the wall hard. It was going to take a moment for him to recover from such a blow.

Cordelia's eye twitched as hey mocked them. "Oh this asshole is going to deserve what's coming to him," she mumbled, unsheathing Haunted Verdict from its hold. She looked around, seeing that the group of players had already been forced into two groups.

The player scanned her group with weary eyes. She didn't know any of them, well apart from Yukiro, but none of them looked like they could pull off a lot of damage just yet. Cordelia sighed and turned her attention back to the scarecrow. It seemed like she was going to have to be able to do the damage from this party, and hopefully, they scarecrow could target someone on the other team instead of her.

"You're so stupid," she muttered, shaking her head at Yukiro before eventually taking his advice and dashing towards the scarecrow. 

With her katana flying next to her, Cordelia delivered multiple cuts at the boss, varnishing its exterior with countless red slashes and with a burst of energy and speed, she leaped in the air, just to come plummeting down and giving a large, central gash to the scarecrow.

Jinx allowed herself to look at Arabelle with a bright smile. She did enjoy the other girls company, but the battlefield reminded her one thing. She had to protect everyone, but Arabelle had more importance..She was part of her guild, she had to look over her. It was her job, after all, to look after people. But with her guild member nearby, she had to...

The boss distracted the girl, and she turned to it. The giant scarecrow...Oh god it was massive. The girl felt a wave of fear through her, before steeling herself. She had a job to do, she had to do this! The girl moved, shifting in front of her friend and raising her shield. This is what she could do! 

"This, dance? Call it whatever you want, but...I've got people i need to protect. So if you want them, you'll have to do through me first!" 

Jinx tightened the grip on her shield, and looked up at the monster. She was the front line, and she would keep them alive...That was HER job.

[NIGHT 0]

NIGHT swooped in from the side. She hadn't tried this before, but it was worth a shot. She prepared her battle stance as she was rushing in, making sure she got a perfect view ---

--Ping!

With a blinding blue streak, she was carried across the room, her sword outstretched and her body weight behind it, tearing into the flesh(?) of The Scarecrow. The silver glint of its oversized weapon was right on top of her, and had the system not been faster, NIGHT was certain she'd be dead meat.

As she landed, she swung her sword as a counterweight to her momentum. She shot her head back at the figure -- she felt her attack land, and there was that obvious red scar on him --

-- so why didn't its health bar go down?!

Then she saw it. In the corner, below its health, were two signifiers; one bleed, one blight. Her hit had definitely landed-- she just wasn't strong enough to do anything else to it.

[Nora 0]

Nora looks at the fight scene that was being unfolded right in front of her eyes with a grim expression on her face. The other players are charging straight for the action, bringing the fight to the monster, and yet the scarecrow's health bar is barely changing. It was a lot tougher than its looks would have suggested. If this is what its health bar and defense are like, then what about its offensive stats? Nora is not too eager to find out. As one of the low level players here, she knows that she's not doing much damages here, but there must be another way that she could help. Thinking about that, Nora unsheathed her standard katana and closing in on the scarecrow.

Running low and keeping her body closer to the ground, she slices her katana across the air against the scarecrow, landing a critical hit against it. Her katana flashes a dark red color as the paralysis enhancement attached itself to the monster, it should be unable to move for the next turn. Reminding herself that the monsters generally targets whoever attacks it last or landed a critical hit, she quickly stepped away and runs to stand beside Coredelia instead.

Mina looked at her group, noting that she was with arabelle, Jinx, and one of the rookie players, Minako. She looked over at the other group of players, which consisted of 3 rookies, Penelo, and a player that was unfamiliar to her. Great, absolutely FANTASTIC. Nobody that was capable of tanking even remotely decided to join up with the rookie players. Mina decided to put that on the backburner for now, and decided to charge at the overgrown piece of straw. Her rapier didn't do too well piercing through that straw, though the flames on it seemed to be making it burn a bit. 'Maybe burning it would be a good idea...' she thought, leaping back from it, and shaking her head to clear it. It didnt matter right now, what mattered was taking this thing down before anyone ended up dying.

Her eyes would widen as the purple haired girl asked where she ran off to in the Rain event. "I-I" she would stutter. She did not want to admit that she had been dumb enough had to get washed away by the waves after getting pushed back. A large wave had come from the tier three event. Luckily for her, the boss began to speak again and they were instantly partied up in their teams. "Okay, lets go" She blinked. There was nothing for her to do. She could not deal damage, so there was purpose in her attacking. She remained in the back watching as the horde of tier one players surged forwards toward the boss without hesitation. She lifted her lantern high, a dim blue light shining onto each of her teammates slightly buffing their accuracy. They would find everything in their vision slightly brighter, allowing them to see the darker sports of the battle area. 'Even if i can't deal damage I can still help in some way!' She refused to be useless. A flurry of flames shot forward, a several players burn effects activated. She had to admit, it was kind of sad being the one not to contribute to anything.
