[PP-17-Assisted] Unfurling a Bag of Cats

Freyd · August 4

Freyd wasn't sure he'd gotten the message right. Mina's request was so full of cat emojis and gifs that he was starting to wonder if the profiling business was knocking her off her rocker. Meeting her near Olympus seemed equally weird until he remembered something about the Nemean lions prowling the badlands near the towering mons. "Didn't these things and Ki'raeion used to be on the same floor?" The NPCs gathered nearby just looked him strangely, wondering aloud about whether he was some wandering sun-addled nomad dragged in from the desert. Freyd certainly looked the part, clad from head to toe in dusty black traveling garb, right up to the tip of his trademark cowl. A charcoal scarf and cloak added to manage the scouring winds only reinforced the look.

"I wonder who else she's roped into this?" Persi sat curled up on a stack of crates nearby, enjoying a lovely nap under the beaming sun and brilliant blue sky. Though not as warm as her native floor, it was similar enough for the little shadow mongoose (aka terror) to have twisted herself up inside a coil of rope, paws splayed off to the side.

"It's moments like this when I really miss Marv..."

Unable to help himself, the Whisper summoned a steaming cup of vanilla scented coffee, indulging in a few sips while awaiting whomever was meant to arrive.

Wulfrin · August 4

Wulfrin made his way down to floor 17 at the behest of Mina. He had only traveled with her once before, and Wulfrin was curious as to why he was being called to the floor of Olympus. The summons was even more cryptic, an abundance of cat emojis. Wulfrin arrived at the floor to see someone more familiar to him, Freyd. The whisper stood in broad daylight sipping on a coffee of some kind. He was also standing roughly in the same area that Mina had requested everyone to meet.

"Yo Freyd!" Wulfrin spoke trying to get his mentor's attention. "You here to help Mina or something else bring you down here?"

Solaris perched nearby as Wulfrin pulled a pitcher of sweet iced tea and a glass from his inventory. It was just another thing he had convinced Ciela to prepare for him. It brought him back to the hot days of summer. Wulfrin poured his glass then dissmissed the pitcher. He joined Freyd in his relaxation waiting for his summoner to arrive.

Hirru · August 5

There will be a time in a man's life, when he must do what is good for the ones he loves. To give unto himself, so that others can survive and benefit. There will be a way to find what will keep the peace and tranquility of the world.

Today is not that day..

"Freyd, why the hell is Mina calling me 'caffeine o'clock', in her message?"

If the avatars could accurately show the state of someone's psyche, Hirru's would be tired beyond a shadow of a doubt. There hadn't been much time between his last venture, and a rather impromptu talking to from Baldur about what the fuck a moose. Looking over to his regular shadowboxing partner to the new player that he slightly remembered from the field bosses that they burned through.

"Ah, Wulfrin!"

His dower demeanor slightly perked up. Didn't mean to look like a sad sack of shit in front of the new blood. Had to set an example as a representative of the Knights of.. as a front liner. He caught his thoughts again before pushing them back.

"Mina didn't say anything about training, but we could use some work. Maybe, we can work around that somehow."

"Well, it's less that I need the help - really I only needed Freyd - more so than it is taking you to a fight where you'd need to really work for a kill." Violet had appeared behind Wulfrin, a bored look on her face. "You're still just barely not T4, so we really need to step up our training game. Since I managed to rope Freyd and Hirru into this as well, then I figured we could at least take on the local field boss twice, and maybe do a dungeon run while we're at it!"

She held up Ember, fanning herself with the weapon. It was incredible how the system seemed to work sometimes, causing odd changes and glitches to overtake weapons and armor and morph them into new forms. What had once been a bronze Warhammer that had been charred from heat had become a beautiful red and white war fan, serrated bronze metal lining the edges of it. She checked her menu, frowning. "Lets see... looks like we're hunting down the Nemean Lion, hopefully we can get more than one fight with it in." she checked her notes again, frowning. "It should be a cakewalk with 3 DPS and a Healer, but things could go south if we don't work together. Don't be afraid to retreat if necessary, okay?"

She waved Ember at freyd, the frown switching to a cheeky grin. "Looks like the system might have been bugging out again! The weapon you gave me changed into this, and so did Lament!"

Stats once again go brr

Mina monches a portion of both Freyd (ACC II - Filled :3, 3/6 uses left) and Hirru's (T4 MIT III, 4/6 uses left) Gugnir Shards, Field Rations, and some Gelato (LD 3)
Mina also uses a Spyglass >:3

Hirru · August 7

Yawning during the talk, the hunter wanted to pushed through when it seemed that the whole of them were ready to carry on the venture. It wasn't that he was disrespectful to Mina and her choice of training methods. She seemed forward enough with that. Their quarry would be a field boss among the lowered tier variety, which wasn't always great. Most of the time, there wouldn't be much issue, but the suggestion to lower themselves into an assisting role did come up. This was something new that had circulated the rounds of the info brokers. Supposedly, a party could gain more experience, but have their overall stats reduced temporarily, to the lowest leveled player. Hirru didn't like that he was going into something that he could only do back when he had combat capabilities.

Though, when did that really stop him. Even sleep never stopped this idiot.

"Let's slap the cat before the day is done. The dungeons that appear here sound like tales of their own."

Their quarry would be found in some light ruins, in some simple plains. The sea far away from them, for now. Why was it that he felt at ease with that realization? Instead of pondering it, he would instead make sure that he didn't lose any more energy than he would be. Three yellow rings encircled his left arm and stayed there, as a roar would resound around them.

Wulfrin · August 8

Training is training I suppose. Hell, Hercules did it. What's to say I cant?

Wulfrin followed the party towards the ancient Greek ruins. His studies of mythologies were often surface level, mainly only what he had managed to retain in his mythology class during college. It was the only history class he could really get behind, but this wasn't the time to reminisce. Instead he tried to bring up anything at all on the beast. Other than being slain by Hercules as one of his twelve labors, Wulfrin couldn't recall much. Looking over the beast as it entered its arena provided much more detail. It had sharp fangs and claws and a hide that seemed to almost shimmer like metallic armor. It let out a deafening roar as its HP bars filled up.

The beast's entrance was cut short by Wulfrin driving the pommel of his sword into its under belly. His attack left the beast stunned and staggering backwards on its hind legs for another to swoop in. His familiar, Solaris orbited the Nemean Lion's head clawing and pecking away in an attempt to keep the beast on the back foot.

"Waste no time with this one!" Wulfrin yelled. "There is a reason this was one of Hercules's twelve labors! Pretty sure he had to strangle the thing!"

"Well, I don't mind a dungeon run, it sounds like a breeze with the four of us!" Violet replied, a crooked grin on her face as she finished drinking her potions, putting away Ember as she drew out Lament. "But for now, lets focus on the big ol' kitty chilling in front of us!" The first of the Nemean Lions that they were going to be fighting today had spawned, and had immediately been stunned on-spawn by Wulfrin. Freyd was lurking behind, watching as they went first to do their damage before he acted on his tanking duties.

Violet flicked her wrist, snapping open Lament into its extended form, the metallic edge of the fan glinting with a dark red light. "Let's see... There!" she hurled the fan forward, easily cleaving the giant lion across the face with the serrated edge of the fan, the blades biting into its virtual flesh with ease. Lament came hurtling back towards her, landing in her outstretched hand with a Thwack! "Still not used to that, but at least it's more versatile~!"

Freyd · August 10

Chuckling at Mina's comments about having three damage dealers in the group, Freyd had to admit she wasn't wrong. He was less a tank, and more about just being good at getting under mobs' skins. Precisely why was open to debate, but at a better time.

"War fans, huh? Neat. I had Samael's Pride swap from a sword to a staff to bits of cloth wrapped around my hands." He shrugged, by way of explanation. "If you feel it suits you, then all the better. They're also beautiful, which really never hurts."

Wulfrin had already done his thing, leaving the lion dazed and vulnerable. Freyd also recognized Hirru's telltale sign for Hyperactive. The two of them had worked together closely enough over recent months that the unique signatures of his skills was becoming familiar.

"Guess we just do this the old fashioned way, I guess." Lunging as soon as he saw an opening, Freyd's fist smashed across the feline's flank, sending it into a spin that fluffed up its mane so badly that it looked like some sort of blow-dried Pomeranian. "Have at it. I'll see if Persi can tag it to keep it disoriented on our next pass."

Hirru · August 11

"Well, that's also new."

Hirru commented on the fan that Mina was now using. He could have sworn that was another part of the info being shared out. Projectile and Throwing capabilities were unlocked not long ago, and were probably going to be a new tactic to run with. The thought of throwing his shield sounded like a pretty neat idea, but the logic of trying to get it back pushed that idea away. He already had to run around to heal and energize everyone. He didn't need to be running around catching his shield like some toy. Was there a toy like that in the real world? Probably would be fun.

Instead, he would watch over Wulfrin, as they all were there to train him. There was no need to heal anyone, and he couldn't do any kind of meaningful damage, if at all. That just left a couple of options, but it wasn't time to buff the damage of everyone just yet. So, he would keep the energy of their potential front liner up. Keeping as close as he could, he would do so. One of the yellow rings faded into the hunter's body before his other hand would glow yellow as well. A light lay of hand is enough to transfer the energy from himself to the other.

"Keep that energy up out there!"

Wulfrin · August 11

So the fan must be one of those new thrown weapons I've been hearing so much about.

Wulfrin admired the fan as it whirled towards the enemy before returning to Mina. The implementation of both projectile weapons and thrown weapons was a game changer for most, as it provided a third dimension to the combats. Now you didn't have to wait for an opening and the monster to be within reach. Wulfrin's energy gauge shot upward from the small boost provided by Hirru. Utilizing the opening created by Mina's fan and his temporarily boosted energy reserve, Wulfrin charged forward unleashing his strongest sword art hoping to get as much damage on the boss while he had the opportunity to. His next goal was to keep the statuses up.

I really need to get more arts that leave ailments on my enemies. I need better options.

"Keep up the pressure!" Wulfrin shouted as he observed the boss's health bar. "We're making some decent progress!"

Violet started to whirl her arm around, a frown on her face as she focused on the Nemean lion, a determined look on her face. "Well I figured I ought to switch things up a little, yeah?" she allowed the fan to go flying, a whirl of red, blue, and purple flames raging along the edges of the fan. "Besides, this feels pretty rewarding if I'm being honest! I'm liking the fact that I don't have to hold a burning weapon now!" Lament flew back her way, easily smacking into her hand with a nice Thwack! She gave a feral smile to Freyd, a playful look in her eyes. "There, now its softened up for you and Wulfrin a little!"

The lion was enveloped in a variety of colorful fire, forcing the poor thing to focus more on putting the colorful flames out instead of beating on their team. It's armor was lowered by a decent chunk, as was its agility, leaving it far more defenseless than it had been before. "Looks like its more focused on putting itself out than it is on beating on us, huh?"

Freyd · August 16

"Son of a..."

The expression died on his lips, unfinished as Freyd's brain struggling to connect the rest of it with the giant feline that had just bypassed him completely and pounced on Wulfrin instead. The Lion was hurting, but apparently not enough to keep it from being a threat. Lunging towards the beast, he wrapped his arm around its thick neck, earning a face full of shaggy mane for his trouble. It felt like bear-hugging one of those huge carny plushies, except if someone had filled it with lead. Every muscle straining against the giant cat's weight as the Whisper ripped it off his companion and sent the angry kitty hurtling through the air. In its frenzy, it mauled Freyd from head to toe, claws and jaws flailing everywhere before he managed to launch it. The beast landed a few dozen yards away, shredded and torn also, its avatar literally crumbling before their very eyes and trailing pixels like pixie dust as it struggled to stand.

"You okay there, bud? Thing must have a special move that ignores aggro. It just skipped me completely... err.. kinda?" Hauling Wulfrin back to his feet, Freyd called on the party to finish the beast off before it could pull any more shenanigans.

Hirru · August 17

The Lion went in for the attack, but not with it's claws or teeth. The big kitty went in with a bound; pouncing upon Wulfrin? with reckless abandon. There wasn't much time for stopping it, but Freyd was already in the thick of it. Shredding the lion and taking the brunt of that damage instead of their trainee, which was good. Healing Freyd was slightly easier, since he knew the man kept his survival on and had his own battle healing. Running into the fray, the hunter would have his friend's back. Quite literally, as he had to get to near touching distance, rubbing his hands together for a green light to appear, and slap it upon Freyd's back. In doing so, the second ring of energy would fade inside him.

"Easy goes it out there. Wulfrin, take it out!"

He would nod to the guy while pointing towards the creature. This lion would be no more soon. What would they do for the next field boss?

Wulfrin · August 17

The angry cat was on its last legs. After it had pounced on Freyd and subsequently Freyd got his HP healed completely by Hirru, the beast's end was almost inevitable. The only thing that stood between the Nemean Lion's defeat was Wulfrin's ability to hit the beast. He charged forward with his blade alight with a sword art. If for some freak reason the art didn't finish the job, Wulfrin would leave the angry kitty with a debuff making it harder for it to land an attack. Wulfrin's blade carved into the beast's hide and dropped its HP to zero leaving behind an info screen containing its dropped items. Wulfrin stowed his blade and moved away from the carnage to regroup with the party.

"Well the cat's dead," Wulfrin said as he poured over the items, taking a quick rest in the dirt around them. "Where are we off to next?"

Gnashing Teeth | On an MD 9-10, the <<Nemean Lion>> will hit for 250 DMG, as well as inflict T3 BLEED for 2 turns.
Pounce | On a CD 9+, instead of attacking, the boss will pounce on the target with the lowest health instead and deal 225 DMG regardless of MD result.
Furry Mane | Any BURN damage to the Lion is doubled and will reduce the EVA to 1 for the duration of the status affliction.
Tier Lock | For the duration of the fight, all of the participants’ stats that scale with Tier are calculated as though they’re Tier 3. [DMG/MIT/BLEED enhancements etc.] This skill only locks downward. Those at Tier 1 or T2 will still have T1 or T2 stats, respectively.

Freyd · August 19

Something mewed. Meowed? Was meowing?

"What the heck?"

A cacophony of cat calls rang our from the surrounding arid plains, swirling about the party like an angry wind. It sounded like a caterwauling coriolus had a hot date with a dust devil leaving behind a litter of illegitimate kitten now hell-bent on revenge. Freyd hadn't realized how literally true that assumption might be. Surging our of the horizon from every direction, whirling dust formed a vortex raining what first seemed like sand down upon them until...

*AH-CHOO!*

"Wait...is this... cat hair!?"

Forming a barrier blocking all paths of escape, the wind slowed into a hazy field of blurred dream stuff carrying a whiff of catnip all around them. Eyes bleary with irritation, the Whisper struggled to process the weirdness of their circumstance, which was only aggravated when four tiny adorable kittens, each of a different breed and colouring tumbled out of the storm.

"Oh. They're adorab---OUCH!"

In typical feline fashion, what had initially looked cute and cuddly suddenly turned into vicious fuzzed up balls of whirling claws and gnashing teeth, nipping at every sensitive spot on his body.

"Get'em off!"

Violet smiled as the giant cat vanished into a blur of pixels, disappating as its life came to a close. "Nice and quick, good job everyone!" she cheered, giving wulfrin a salute. "And nice kill, man! Now we just gotta wait for them to respawn, and then we can get out of... here?" Violet paused as she heard the sound of yowling and snarling from nearby. She turned towards the sound, before letting out a giggle. Freyd was currently being mobbed by a quartet of angry lion cubs. "Having a bit of trouble over there buddy?" she watched as one of the cats shattered into pixels, before she readied her weapon.

She hurled her fan at the cats a few moments later, the weapon easily cleaving through the other three cats. "Scratch 2!" she said cheerfully, catching Ember as it flew back. "Wulfrin, can you get the last one before Freyd gets a case of cat-scratch Fever~?" she placed it back onto her belt, humming as she turned to Wulfrin and Hirru with a smile. "At least he isn't hurt though, right?"

Hirru · September 20

A dungeon spawned around a field boss? The hunter was aware that this could happen, as he had fought one just like it before. Though that time, the boss was a quest monster that followed into the dungeon. Well, that quest boss is now freely spawning on its floor, so it is a proper field boss now. Did any of that really matter? Not in the slightest, but that didn't mean that the hunter wouldn't be thinking about it. How many weird and out right crazy dungeons have they been through now? Too many, he would guess. The number having long since lost meaning to him, as he cared more about being out for the hunt.

"Let's not get 'harried' now, Freyd."

He would joke, but jokes were never good coming out of his mouth. Mina would have better quips than him.

"I would rather you keep yourself for getting too tired out there. Even if you're just throwing your weapon, it's still burning your energy just as much."

Was Hirru's response as his last ring of energy would fade before dividing once more into three more rings, but they would not stay on his form for long. Thankfully, he didn't have to go chasing after her and could easily walk over to her. With a small flourish, the three rings of energy would transfer from his arm to Mina's.

"I'm just glad I don't have to run after you to do this."

He would look towards their training member and nod to them to complete the deed.

Wulfrin · September 20

"Yeah I can mop up," Wulfrin said as he moved passed Mina and Freyd. "Been a while since I've waltzed through a dungeon, specifically the cave of Wonders. Freyd had to bail me out. I'm just happy to get the chance to redeem myself after that."

Wulfrin would do just that. In one fluid motion, he struck at the remaining kiity cat. It honestly felt more like stealing a kill than anything. The beast had barely any health left, yet it popped just like any other mob. The spray of fractal motes caused him to sneeze just as bad as Freyd did. Why was the usually mild allergy to cats kicking up here where his body was just a bunch of 1s and 0s. It must have been a mental reflex because once he came to the realization it stopped almost immediately.

"I like cats as much as the next guy," Wulfrin said as he gestured for his trainers to take the lead. "But they tend not to get along with me well at all."

Freyd · September 21

With the last of the mischievous cats clawed off him, Freyd found himself scratched to pieces. Frayed bits of black cloth lay strewn about the landscape, in magnitudes greater than the clothes on his back could possibly yield. There were even a could of toys laid about that must have been lost under a couch and somehow resurfaced.

"I think I finally appreciate how my grandmother's furniture felt." Covered in hair and slender lacerations, the calico mobs had somehow done a number on him, without actually doing any damage.

"I don't recall a cat-nado being on the agenda for this trip, but maybe I missed a memo?" He spat, repeatedly and to no avail, finally caving in to pluck stray cat hair from his tongue. The consternation in his eyes clearly wondered how it could possibly have even gotten in his mouth.

Barely piecing himself back together, it was pure luck that he caught motion on his periphery, welling out a warning before more mobs rushed at them from opposite directions.

[Filler post to put Freyd at the end of rotation for the next wave.]

Wulfrin · September 22

"That is a mood," Wulfrin said as he sniffled a bit. "It would be too soon if I were to see another damned calico, or any cat for that matter."

Wulfrin immediately regretted even mentioning his disdain for cats. From both sides of the group two much larger, almost the size of a panther, calicos emerged from the shadows to attack the group. Acting on instinct, fueled by a just a pinch of allergy infused rage, Wulfrin charged forward and trapped both in his Stunning Strike Sword Art. The two cats crumpled to the ground, dropping their guard for his companions to unleash fury upon them.

"Great..." Wulfrin said as he gestured to the now prone and exposed giant kitties. "Have at it y'all. I'm going to see if I can get this damned allergy attack under control."

Perhaps the attack wasn't as much of a reflex as he had thought. His eyes were starting to get scratchy, and he just felt absolutely awful. Perhaps his Nerve Gear was interpreting what he expected to feel in the situation, absolutely frickin' terrible.
