[F21 - Tier 1 Boss] Siege the Day

[Astralin 0]

After Astralin defeated the remaining enemies guarding the siege engine, two players commended her.

"Clean up nice!" A male player remarked.

“Good work–!” Said a female player.

Astralin looked to them both. "Thanks!" Astralin responded, beaming over the compliments on her performance thus far, despite that she's only been dealing damage for the duration of the battle. Whatever the case, it was time to destroy the siege engine itself. "Alright...this will be a bit easier with everyone helping out..." She was feeling confident now, as this was currently going better than expected. She began charging up her sword art, and the vanity effect of her amulet activated, causing her eyes to glow until she finished her attack. "Nulusei Eirri!" She called out as she moved in to strike the Trebuchet. While she wasn't going to deal the most damage, it was better than nothing. She was sure that the players would win this battle...at least, she was sure that the Tier 1 players would win, she hadn't been paying attention to the other battles just yet.

Everything besides the machine looking boss was dead. She watched the other players around her with different flurry of blows that seem to always hit the target. She looked to her energy and knew that this was rounding to an end. She wasn't worried about completely running out of energy because there were so many other players here that dealt probably more damage than her at this point but at least when her energy was drained she could say that she did help in the end game of all this action. Glancing around the field for a moment she sees a few other players that had the same icon as hers. She had just joined Firm Anima and had not yet met anyone in it. A smirk crossed her face as she sees everyone doing their best to end this as quickly as possible. "Let us finish this everyone," calling out to everyone that would care to take notice of her call out as she too runs at the remainder of this task to get a few swings in. As her weapon glows bright, at the last moment before contact she sees that her weapon was dripping a purple like substance. Was that the poison she added earlier. Only one way to find out she thought as her Scythe carves deep within the machines entrapments with a few cracks and pops like something was breaking inside of it upon impact. Freya jumps and slides backwards with a twirl of her weapon placing the bladed curved part against her hip again waiting to see what sort of damage was dealt this first round.

Finally, the last of the crimson armored Phalanx fell to the group of players. There was no cause for celebration yet as the final hurdle of the battle sat, quite literally, in front of the group. As the young girl turned a determined gaze on the trebuchet something black, watery, and slick appeared to leak from the very machine itself; almost like it was sweating. There was brief second of hesitation at the sight. The machine couldn't be nervous, could it? Asmura didn't have too much time to ponder the thought as the other players started to barrage the machine. The attacks were slowly wearing away at the trebuchet’s life points. Shaking her head to get rid of such ridiculous thoughts she too joined the fray. 

With a stature much smaller than most of the surrounding players the raven-haired girl was not able to reach incredibility high--which turned out to be for the better as there were not too many other players attacking very low. Taking the curved sword, she started to hack at the wooden beam at an angle; hopefully, this would cut through them faster. Asmura also reminded herself to mindful of the other players as she maneuvered the sword expertly thought the air. As the voices above her echoed and talked Asmura focused on her attacks. This was her chance to do something and there was no way she was going to get distracted.

The saw blade in her hand was ready to chop this wooden beast into pieces. Everyone was charging the siege weapon to put in as much damage to it as possible before the soldiers returned to guard their weapon again. The ninja looked down at her weapon for a moment, thinking about the best course of action: Keeping herself safe or helping fight. Ultimately, it made sense to just charge the thing. A siege weapon could be used without someone to control it.

Dashing through the lines of players, Shirayuki made her own attack. The dull blue of her saw-blade chipped a small piece out of the trebuchet. Her damage was next to nothing, but how could they complain about the extra damage. Though, if only she was a little bit stronger, she could do a little bit more. She mumbled through her mask quietly. "Not good enough..." The rogue took a healthy step back and allowed everyone else to get attacks in.

DMG: N/A

Guarded: Trebuchet cannot be attacked while any enemy Phalanx are alive
Vulnerable: All attacks targeting Trebuchet are auto-hits.

The Players had certainly seized upon the opportunity provided to them by the Trebuchet's Vulnerable state. In a single turn, they had managed to shred almost a third of its health through their combined efforts. Unfortunately, for some of them, they didn't seem to be able to put enough power behind their blows to really do any lasting damage. This was compensated by the fact that one of the players had - somehow - figured out a way to poison an inanimate object. The Trebuchet felt sick to its stomach. Cold sweats. Muscle aches. All things it should not have had because, by rights, it didn't have organs, pores, or muscles. Truly these Players were the most skillful of the groups. Able to bend reality to their whim, poisoning that which should not be poisoned. Or, perhaps, it was difficult for the writer to shell out 150 words about a Trebuchet standing still. Yeah, probably that last one.

The girl anxiously circled around their mark as the others attacked. For one agonizing moment, An thought the weapon of war was going to break free of logic’s constraints and leap off the ground and quash them all while everyone was still within range and focused entirely on offense. Or it was going to explode. Or regenerate. Anything was possible when some bloke’s poisonous goop was somehow dealing damage to the wooden structure.

She wasn’t complaining. She was just kind of really amazed. DoTs really are strong…!

There was an opening in the line of attacking players and she quickly moved to fill it in. An wouldn’t realize her weapon had activated differently this time until she stepped back to assess the damage. Deep red flames, from the tip of her blade down to its hilt. They appeared to engulf her sword hand, but they were harmless to the player wielding it. When she swung, the effects detached from her weapon in uneven shadowy blobs and shot forward to taint the trebuchet.

  ♪  Elora's Battle Anthem  ♪  

 

Elora went to town on the trebuchet like she was mincing it to serve with a side of pain for dinner. Her spear swung and struck all over it's support beams until she finally finished her attack sequence by leaping up and impaling its launching mechanism -- maybe with a little bit too much enthusiasm. With her weapon lodged within its fibers, she had no choice but to haul herself onto its neck and to try to pry it free.

"It's...heeugh...no...hnng...g-good! That sucker is STUCK",  she concluded between heaving breaths and lackluster attempts to gain any leverage on its staff, I'll just have to make it look like I intended for this to happen. 

"Onward, soldiers!, she encouraged as boisterously as she could before choking on another sharp intake of air. Damn, am I really this out of shape? I thought for sure that at this point I'd be able to carry myself for a little longer in a battle. 

While she was sitting and suffocating atop the trebuchet, Elora took a moment to admire the view of the chaos around them. Nearby players fought with an elite - or at least, what Elora regarded it to be - vanguard comprised of various formidable powers. It seemed like they had their work cut out for them. Holy sh*t! Is that a -- Elora had finally caught sight of the gargantuan dragon that was reeking havoc across the battlefield. Glad I'm not over there..., she thought as she imagined all of the carnage that would be caused by its hand, er -- talons. If there are players fighting THAT thing, then there's no reason we can't take down this glorified slingshot!

Was the trebuchet, sweating? Katoka was very confused but happy that they were all making progress. It seemed like they could cut this war machine down if they kept up the pace they were at. It even seemed like someone had managed to poison the thing as well.

"What even is this thing." she wondered aloud. Taking a moment to check on the small girl to be sure she was fine, the samurai then turned her attention back to the wooden monstrosity before her. She charged in once again, but this time she slipped in-between the wood and ropes until she was standing inside the contraption before using her previous sword art. She figured a rotating attack that hit in all directions would gunk up the internal workings of the trebuchet more than chipping away at the outside of it.

"Eat sword you dumb wannabe catpult!" she yelled from inside.

By all accounts, it'd seemed that An was doing rather fine for herself. Basuke whistled just as her rapier burned, the cosmetic radiance somehow dancing from her grasp onto the war machine-- and that's when he saw it. The poison sigils set upon their 'foe' at the corner of his vision.

Wait, what? They could inflict statuses onto the trebuchet?

Sure enough, when he'd looked hard enough, there were trails of black snaking round and downwards upon the surface of the wooden structure. Was Aincrad always this strange? Environmental effects meant little to the kid, however; not like he was going to be capable of spawning flames and setting alight any oil slicks any time soon. His sword was already swung back behind him, preparing another strike quicker than his mind could process the chaos around him.

Another boost, another swing. Each practiced use of his sword art only carried him higher and higher into the air, Basuke aiming his strike towards the apex of the giant weapon.

The siege engine was well on its way towards its destruction. Its HP was dropping with every hit, ailments were being placed upon it, and it was...sweating oil? Astralin stopped for a moment, confused as to why this is. It was a siege engine, it didn't have any glands or organs...maybe it was leaking oil, or maybe...this was some sort of arcane mystery explainable only by mystics or sorcery?? Astralin thought about it for a moment. "Maybe...it has monster souls trapped inside it?" She thought aloud. "Maybe they aren't necessarily monsters' souls...but nevertheless...I think we should release the trapped souls by destroying the siege engine they're trapped in!" She guessed, also thinking aloud. She charged up her sword art again, the vanity effect of her amulet activating as well, causing her eyes to glow until she finished her attack. "Nulusei Eirri!" She called out as she struck the Trebuchet with another Tornado Kick Sword Art.

As the echoes of metal hitting solid wood reverberated through the clearing Asmura could help but think that this fight was...odd. Usually, the young girl was not one to let her mind stray during a fight, but the risk of this fight appeared to be low. With the trebuchet unable to attack and the Phalanx gone that just left a strange object that by all appearances seemed to sweat. As she was about to slash her metal blade into the lower bearing of the trebuchet kyanite orbs just happened to glace up. The marker read that the object had been poisoned. Not for the first time Asmura thought what a strange game this was. Taking a lung filling breath in and then out she refocused herself to slash at the trebuchet once more. With another breath in she paused. Asmura didn't have much rage, at least not the burning hot kind. The rage that she held was icy and cold. Deep down part of her was bitter toward the creator of this game for making it the way it was and for her parents who were now suffering.  As she released her breath her the focused rage caused the blade to glow a foreboding frosty blue. Without missing a beat, the young girl's sword slashed at one of the lower beams. 

After her sword struck curious eyes glanced around searching for the individuals with "Firm Anima" over their heads. Asmura wanted to make sure that they were doing okay. Not that there was much she could do, but it never hurt. The blonde with a ponytail was over the left somewhere. Although Asmura was unable to see her too well the blue bow in her hair stood out among the crowd. Past her was another fight. A large, flying creature took to the skies and reigned what had to be terror to the players on the ground. Maybe one day, she would be over there too.

Freya was listening, waiting for everyone else to take there hits. She noticed that no one was missing the target so maybe, somehow we couldn't miss it. From the distance she hers her twin sisters call out. She was still the one taking all the hits from the things they were fighting. Freya started to wonder why Eruda would put herself out there like that, put herself in danger. Was it to protect the guild she was in or was it more than that... Maybe to prove herself to everyone around her...but why. 

Hearing the interesting conversation next to her, snapping out of her trans like state she says "A soul trap...It could also just be a test subject to see how strong everyone is getting. At least that is my thought." She didn't know much about this game since her memory got erased but she knew from what she has heard so far that the creator of this game wasn't very nice and this was just another way of showing that. Disturbing a nice day with a grand fight...Freya rather thought that it was fun...the whole fighting thing and she was rather enjoying kicking the crap out of everything even though she wasn't that strong. With a smile painted across her face, she gives the creature another flurry of blows as her weapon shines from her art. Not hitting as hard this time, she was just happy that her attacks got through its armor. Giving a small twirl of her Scythe, she places her bladed end back against her hip waiting for her time to attack again.

[Shirayuki 0]

The damage in which Shirayuki could out put was less helpful than if dying old man smacked this thing with a cane. While she couldn't really complain that she was still kicking, there was a quiet wish inside that her next attack would hit fierce and be a little more than a single digit number. Unfortunately that was too much to hope for. The ninja slipped through the group of a people once more and gave her spinning shuriken a hefty push of speed.

The light blue light wheeled around like a hyper-speed ferris wheel. Hoping that maybe she could apply enough force to break the mitigation, she launched the weapon from her hand and drove it directly into the trebuchet's foot. A damage indicator popped up, showing a slight sliver of health points being removed from the wooden beast. The girl simply walked to her weapon, deflated, and pulled it free of the splinters.

Violet sprinted forward, hoping to graze the Trebuchet for just a bit more damage. It was already well past a third of its health bar, and it was only getting lower with each and every successful attack against it. Her weapon carved another splash of red pixels into the mix that the others had done. At this point, every little bit of damage counted for this. If they had to fight these guys for a prolonged amount of time, they would end up getting overwhelmed, and more than likely die to any reinforcements that might come. Everyone else was still doing their part, and absolutely wailing on the boss, and potentially one-shotting the adds that could spawn. Violet pulled back a bit, lurking a bit closer to the rest of the group. The absolute last thing that she wanted in this situation was for her to get caught out by herself, and potentially get swarmed. One on one she'd be fine, but being alone would get her killed for sure.

Vulnerable: All attacks targeting Trebuchet are auto-hits.

The seemingly endless clatter of steel on timber rose to a climax as the gathered players splintered and broke the beleaguered war machine into the wreck that lingered before them.  Riveted plates warped and gave way.  Rigging frayed.  Beams snapped and burst apart under tension as the counterweight plummeted and crashed to the ground.  The engine’s massive throwing arm sprung upward, but so much damage had been done that its payload broke off and came clattering down amidst the gathered throng that had sealed its doom.  As internal forces fell prey to external assault, the entire frame collapsed, its purpose lost in the Sundered Spires ignoble defeat.

How had it come to this?

Life as an object was just so unfair.

A pulse of red, hazy energy was released as the digital soul trapped within the Trebuchet’s broken form was finally released.  Skalaugh’s pride might have doomed the others, but it had yet to use its own restorative abilities.  They would be enough to allow its escape, and buy it time to plan and exact revenge.  Patience had always been its strength.
