[BR-F28] Paving the Way to Floor 29 [Team 2: Freyd]

[Plot Master 0]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The door opened into a basin, walls in every direction spanning skyward like a bowl. Dusty and barren, the once lush overgrowth that climbed them rotted less than halfway up. Trees like blackened, coarse hands reached out toward the stars, their last throes of hopelessness a testament to the evil that now lay claim to the place. It was no one's fault, perhaps; but in their failure to act, it had become everyone's. 

The twenty eighth floor had fought admirably to reclaim this space. Dried out grass and the fetid stench of leaves long past autumn breathed death into the offensive nostrils of each Player in turn, welcoming them to the fray.

To His Domain. 

To His Grave.

Murky pools sloshed beneath their feet as the valiant Players waded deeper into the wastes. All the while, He watched. As they came to the central portion of the valley, players would see the last vestiges of beauty that remained
in this place, hanging off the twisted corpses of a copse of trees. The haunting red of Higanbana- Japanese Spider Lilies- looming all around them.

And they withered at the sound of a piercing, agonized howl. The deep red color twisted into rotten brown as petals fell away, decorating the murky bog with their remains. In their place, He stood, staring back at the Players.

Callisto.

---

Callisto the Tainted | DMG: 300 | MIT: 65 | ACC: -1 | BLIND 2 (8-10) | RAMPAGE [0/6] | Iron Flesh

Abilities:
Rampage | For each successful attack on Callisto, its accuracy increases +1 and its damage by +50 until the end of its next turn (Up to the maximum of +300 DMG, +6 ACC) against your party. In addition, Callisto has [Focus]
Iron Flesh | Callisto’s durability halves damage dealt from all status effects (DoT).
Resist Death | Whenever Callisto would sustain more than 1000 damage after mitigation, that damage is set to 750 maximum.
Totem of the Bear | Due to Callisto’s unbridled rage, HIghest Hatred Decays by -1 every turn as it seeks out prey in a violent uncontrolled frenzy. Healing done by sources outside of skills from a target who does not have the highest hatred will yield +4 hatred provided that target has no effects that improve hatred generation (such as Howl or Taunt) as Callisto senses weakness.
Consuming Night | The sheer corruption that bleeds from this beast assails your vision as it destroys your senses. Callisto applies [Blindness 2] whenever it performs a successful critical attack, this effect does not stack but will refresh.

• BLIND 2 | Reduces the targets Accuracy, Evasion and Loot Dice by -4 for 2 turns.

Ichorous Sweep | Whenever Callisto rolls a CD: 4-7 it will lick its claws and aggressively swipe at the target with the highest hate in each party. If the attack is successful, In addition to standard damage, the target is inflicted with TXC VNM 4 and Envenom 4

• TXC VNM 4 | Deals 64 unmitigated poison damage to the target for 3 turns
• ENV-O 4 | deal 64 unmitigated poison damage each enemy turn for 4 turns. Stacks with itself

Reckless Ensnare | Whenever Callisto rolls a CD: 8-9 it will brandish its claws out and grapple the target with the highest hate in each party instead of attacking. While the target is grappled their evasion is reduced to the maximum of 0 and their post action can only be used to attempt to free themselves, ending the grapple on a LD:15+. Other members of the party can attempt to free them (using the same roll) as their post action.
For the Throat | If Callisto has any targets grappled, it can use its post action to perform a special bite attack against all grappled targets. This attack circumvents all forms of defense (Autohit, Unmitigated) dealing 600 unmitigated damage and inflicting Bleed 4. Damage from this attack can only be reduced by Parry, Misperception, Rampart and [Counter]. Barrier will negate the damage entirely.

• BLD 4 | Deals 96 unmitigated bleed damage the the target for 2 turns

Halls of Madness [AoE] | Whenever Callisto rolls a CD: 10-12 it will shriek in a blood curdling howl that targets the entire party. Any targets struck by this attack take 400 damage and are stricken with a stack of [Madness]. The damage from this attack can be mitigated

---

[Madness] deals 12 unmitigated damage over 4 turns, any further applications will refresh this effect and increase the stacks by 1. This does not increase the damage, but instead once a target has sustained [Madness 3] their next turn is decided by Callisto. This requires the player to respond and do their best to aid Callisto, who is regarded as a close and dear friend until this fades. On his post he will offer a short goal the player must attempt to fulfill such as:

Player A will attack the party
Player A will attack Player B
Player B will heal Callisto

Any post action, free action [item] or free action [skill] used from a player this way treats their source as Callisto (Following Hatred, Mitigation, Targeting etc.). Once this turn has been used by Callisto, madness 3 fades.

---

Status Ailment Effects:
Stun | Disables the use of Ichorus Sweep until the end of Callisto’s Next Turn against that party instead of removing a post action. All  Grappling Familiar Cooldowns Increased by 2
Paralyze | Will immediately end a grapple made by Callisto against a member of your party instead of removing a post action.
Freeze | Removes Focus from Rampage until the end of Callisto’s Next Turn on attacks made against your party instead of removing a post action.
Delay | Reduces CD rolls by -1 until the end of Callisto’s Next Turn on all attacks made against your party. Cannot stack and this only applies to attacks made against your party. Delay also reduces Callisto’s accuracy by 2 if benefiting from [Rampage].
Phase | Allows the user to ignore the effects of Resist Death when activated.

---

Alternate Conditions:
Barrier | Will prevent Callisto from using For the Throat against targets affected by Barrier
Shatter | Will allow DoT’s to deal full damage to Callisto from sources within your party instead of reducing Callisto’s Mitigation
Hypnosis | Lasts for twice its normal duration, but its effects only benefit the user
Lullaby | Lasts for a single turn, negates the effects of Rampage against your party.
Queen’s Honey | Offering this item to Callisto as a post action will cause it not to act against your party for 1 turn as long as no further hostile post actions are taken by the party.
Loot Die | Food and Trinket Enhancements Increase the LD rolled to break Reckless Ensnare. Lockpicking and Dismantling also apply to these rolls.
Antidote | Blocks the Effects of Blindness/Madness given they are status ailments. Each will consume a separate charge if both are applied.
Purify | Can remove the effects of Blindness or Madness when used.
Probiotics | Reduces the damage taken from Bleed 4, Envenom (Offensive) 4, Toxic Venom 4
Forgotten King’s Authority | Can remove the madness condition, but only once 3 stacks have been obtained. However this can only be done for the first full application, repeat usage will not remove the effects of madness.
Kumatetsu (Totem) | +1 Additional Base Damage, Does not stack with Memory of Battle

Wulfrin took in a deep breath as he prepared to advance. He had been given the game plan and he had mulled it over multiple times in his head. He placed his hand over Freyd's acknowledging the confidence his mentor had in him. Today it was ride or die. He pressed into the chamber as the tip of the spear for his group. The arena was a grim sight, like they were walking into the palm of a withered hand with the blackened and dying trees acting as the fingers. The ground shook as a blighted bear covered in rotted flesh roared throughout the arena. Eight fucking health bars? Wulfrin was suddenly stricken with the knowledge that he had stepped into quite the messy situation.

"Welcome to the big leagues," Wulfrin sighed.

Macradon's speech snapped him back into fight mode. There was no time to stall. Once the order to attack was given, Wulfrin rushed forward. His armor clung to the shadows around him and his blade, Icingdeath, hummed with the resonance of battle. The icy mist that drifted off the blade began to crystalize on the ground around him as a violet light effect wrapped around the blade. Disarming Strike may not have a weapon to target, but Wulfrin found another thing to aim at, Calisto's singular working eye. Wulfrin's swipes left massive red gashes across the bear's form, all of which centered around the boss's head.

"Solaris!" Wulfrin shouted. "Do your thing!"

On command a streak of fire rocketed towards the bear from the tree line. At the tip, a hawk sized phoenix with red and gold plumage that began to orbit Calisto adding to the various gashes forming on their target.

Eight health bars … that didn’t seem good, it was tanky, extremely tanky, but from the looks of it, the Bear’s decaying open wounds didn’t seem to be it’s defence, maybe it had no defence whatsoever. Macradon clicked his tongue and looked at the Rhino’s Horn he had applied to his weapon, only for it to maybe not really be of any use in this raid, as there was no tanky plate armour, no hardened scales, no thick hide to defend against his attacks. He would take in a deep breath and easily fight through the stench as he was aided by his Survival skill.

As the parties split up, Macradon fully regrouped with his party. “Alright everyone! It’s raid time! We have no room for mistakes, this one doesn’t look tanky, so it will probably do a lot of damage!” he said and unsheathed his sword. He would grab his Banner of Command and bring it over to the command post of the entire raid, plant it firmly into the soil within the walled decaying tomb and go into a fighting stance. “Our lives are on the lines today! But luckily for us, we will succeed! We will not falter, we will be steadfast, we will overcome this minor obstacle!” he exclaimed and stomped on the ground in a small rhythm to sync up for the battle “For the citizen of Aincrad! For our freedom!” he roared out and began his approach towards the boss with an ice cold mist trailing behind him paired up with frosty footsteps.

As the others went into stance, so would Macradon. He quickly engaged his sword, gripping it with all of his might as he rushed in together with the rest, keeping a tight formation and letting Freyd lead the direction of the party’s movements, making sure he would be able to take the hit and let the rest stay somewhat unscathed. He would jump and manoeuvre around, waiting for the right opening to make his attack while not getting in the way of his party mates and the attacks of the great bear in front of them.

The battle would commence for all the parties involved, the hectic grotesque battlefield would be swarmed by the frontlines, engaging upon the monstrosity of a bear that stood in their way to the next floor. Wulfrin, the rookie for what he knew, would be the first to jump in and get a good hit in on the boss, dealing a good trickling amount of damage, Macradon would follow suit and get into a proper battle stance. He activated his sword art and let the system guide his movements as his sword was engulfed in a deep orange light, swinging through the bear and leaving big red gashes from his onslaught of hits. Now he just had to await the rest of his party to engage, and they would take it from there and decipher what this bear had up its sleeves.

The gaijin samurai stood back for a moment while the other groups gave their speeches of encouragement, and watched the younger fighters leap forward at the earliest moment, charging into the fray in a way only the vigor of youth could allow. Flashy sword art launched at the bear, an impressive array of particle effects and proccing attacks. The light show was almost enough to make him nostalgic for fighting alongside his friends and comrades. But that was always tempered by the deaths he had seen.

He walked carefully up towards the floor boss, a necrotic bear decaying the area around it in his grave. Baldur slowly drew the sword that Raidou have given him, <<Ethereal Tether - Zanshin>>. He stood for a moment more, just out of range of all the sword arts being fired off, watching the bear react or not react to the attacks, watching the others dart in and out and he chose his moment carefully. When the bear turned to face a tank or swipe at another player, he darted in, a quick sequence of attacks, jumping back, then waiting for the right moment for a couple more. Measuring the time that was right to strike.

The alpha strike of a boss fight was always an impressive unloading of attacks, but the true measure came after the first salvo. The boss would change the field with its first attack, and how the groups could rally to deal with the changing circumstances was always the true measure of skill. Who could adapt and keep the pressure up, and who collapsed, merely trying to recover.

As he ducked under a wide swing, he resheathed his sword. He saw the opening clearly now. It was time for the big guns.

A bear appeared, a bear looking like it was taken directly out of a nightmare. Zandra froze, looking at the boss without moving a muscle for several seconds. She got waked up when Wulfrin started their attack with swipes leaving red marks on it. When seeing the markings Zandras crimson eyes lit up. ‘’Yeah, now the battle will start.’’ she said quietly to herself with a smirk. Zandras grip of her axe harened and she started to go into a battle stance. ‘’Wait no, I didnt signed up as dps did I?’’ she mumbled to herself but suddenly she felt a beat in her chest. She havent felt this excitement in a long time. Macradon followed up their attacks and a faint blush appeared on Zandras checks. She wanted to attack too. But no she had signed up as a support, she should use some of her leadership arts. Another heartbeat as her excitement increased even more and her grip around the axe hardened more and more. Her mind couldnt decide what to do, was she gonna do what she wanted to do, or what she should do? Baldur attacked the boss and this activated the fire in her ruby eyes.

Zandra entered her battle-stance, ready to attack the bear. With a big smile and fire in her eyes, she went up to him and let her big, two handed axe do her talking.She backed to leave space for the others to keep attacking the best. ‘’Hehe, so now it have started.’’ she said to them with a big smile.

He couldn't talk
That's right...
The idiot couldn't talk

It has always been that way since they met, he was a messy person but she always swoops in to put him on the right track. The absence of presence was very obvious, he thought that Yuki would comment on how messy his hair is again, how clumsy he is, erratic maybe but again and again she just goes in and makes sure he's fine, treat him to something afterwards despite the dread of being killed in this game, more so as in front of them a battle is about to unfold. He only nodded and walked towards his team, looking at her.

"Maybe things will work out fine after all" he thought.

A few walks happening and the enemy revealed itself to them, and it's a bear. Some would say it's a monstrosity of a bear, an abomination that must be eradicated and to Crozeph the sentiment is agreeable "that's a lot of STDs" he muttered.

Crozeph didn't waste a second, Baldur is there and he might be watching what his dumbass guild member has been up to when it comes to mastering the blade. He dashed forward, no words, head slightly empty. Wulfrin already yelled something about his familiar followed by Mac roaring what they came here for.

For freedom

 He wasn't as knightly as they were if it was considered as one. Crozeph is a saboteur, he would resort to the dirtiest of tricks to win, to be victorious. Ereshkigal began pouring out its darkest amorphous liquids wrapping around his arm. Bright lights erupted as three players engaged. He jumped waiting for the phoenix to finish its play, Mac and Baldur landing their cleanest attacks and then there he was, aiming for the eyes "Blade Demon 6th Form: Savage Bite". His attack landed twice, quick successions. It almost mimicked a biting motion rapidly sinking the blade on the eyes. He glared, the creature needs to go down and he has stopped it on its track..

"Give me your head, I'll eat your face" teeth almost gnashing.

“Callisto was a nymph in Greek mythology, wasn’t she?  Transformed into a bear for the transgressions and duplicity of others, as I recall.  My parents went on about these things at length,” he added, with a mirthless chuckle.  “She was later cast into the sky as the constellation of Ursa Major to prevent her son from hunting her.  And all of this occurs just as another Tanabata-like event beings?  The coincidence seems unlikely and concerning.”

Keeping pace as each group moved forward into position, his muse was racing ahead of his steps.

“All of the oddities and mutations I’ve observed throughout floor 28 were concentrated around the Fire Woods, with this chamber at its epicentre, but where is the source of that corruption?  If it’s at all connected to the legend it’s named after, then this bear isn’t likely the origin - just another unfortunate victim of fickle gods.”

Macradon’s speech broke through his reverie.  Inspirational, as always, the man’s willingness to lead by example was equally admirable.  Each of his teammates followed in turn, their zeal and devoted adherence to their agreed upon plan executed flawlessly. He was grateful for each one of them. Last came his part, based upon a simple principle taught to him as a child.  

Sitting on his grandfather’s knee in the rocky woodland outskirts of Kelowna valley, a young and difficult boy grudgingly endured his elder’s subtle attempts to swaddle his obstinance with wisdom.  Among those was a tale pertaining to local realities, where less decrepit versions of Callisto were common, and no less dangerous.  

‘Make a lot of noise,’ grandpa used to say.  They’d carry bear spray and noisemakers during their hikes.  Freyd doubted either would scare off this boss - likely the opposite, given its unnatural state.  Both outcomes, however, were completely acceptable.

Digging shallow into memory of his own first raid - never father than his own umbra - Freyd found that too-familiar point where something inside him made contact with the essence of malevolence itself. It was always just below the surface. Everyone had been scarred by those events, even those outside the raid chamber, but that unquenchable darkness felt through Orgoth’s blood had planted something in his soul that lingered to this day.  Tainted, yet still tapped for power, its abuse had been unexpectedly held in check by simple acts of kindness and human decency, even love.  

“So that’s where the seal around Samael’s Pride comes from…” he muttered to himself, the barest of smiles allowed to flicker across his features as dawning epiphany belayed itself to a sidetrack.  “I should have known.”  Right hand pressed to his heart for succor, the emblem of a rose embossed beneath the roiling slick of shadow on his chest plate, it carried on its journey joining its twin to wield the only blade with which he could fathom facing such a beast.  Truth.

“Alright, grandpa," he told himself. "Let’s see just how much noise we can make.”

Sword raised in defensive stance, he assumed position between his team and their blighted foe, right where he was meant to be.

<<Utterance of Final Darkness>>

Calling forth the tiniest inkling of that insipid void, Freyd felt every shadow in the room reacting, swaying, then converging as if drawn by the some malignant intangible gravity.  Swelling at his back, they congealed into the monstrous essence of nightmares all assumed to have been long-vanquished. Its form entirely dependent upon the viewer, just as Shadow’s taunts had been - personal, unabashed and cruel. When Freyd opened his mouth, all who were present heard the same soul-chilling shriek, like the cry of thousands compounded with desperation, sorrow and anguish - the gathered cries of an inky flood’s drowned out victims bottled into a single vessel and unleashed all at once.

Player after player charged at him. He weathered most blows without a reaction, nervous system gone offline. To what little strikes he did face with consequence, there had been an inhumane, guttural sound, both from the pestilence that churned from within him, festering a faster decay, and a blank stare snapped the player's way. It had been this way for each party's rally, a slow pressure rising as its anger was starting to build.

Near the end, just as the last attacker was peeling away, Callisto was compelled to make a move. He shifted onto its hind legs, hunched over, eyes captured towards the murky skies above, buffeting escapees nearby. Was that sniffling a cry to the stars? As it roared, the ground stirred beneath it, sewage pools vibrating to the echo of that haunted ursine. For a moment, it seemed as though the clouds would break to reveal a sky completely awash in white. But it hadn’t, and the dead don’t carry feelings. Once it got back on its front paws, the game was once again afoot.

Was it picking up pure player intent? The first assault as the bear overshadowed the tank’s vision came through the gnash of teeth, scooping them up like a chew toy and shaking them around something violent. Callisto flicked its head just to let go, drop its snack to the ground. Whatever nutrients it would’ve provided, Callisto wouldn’t have been able to absorb nor digest. Covered in halitosis and bear slobber, the ursine seemed distracted enough not to give its once-prey a glance before shifting towards its next target.

Zandra blinked a few times. Hold up, what did she just do? Oh, she had let the better get a hold of herself. Get some control. She quickly took another scan off the situation. The team had started with a round of attacks against the nasty bear. And together with the rest of the players they had almost reduced the whole first healthbar. Her teammebers havent got any serious damage. Freyd had taken the bears attack, but it didnt had much effect on him. ‘’Great start everyone…’’ she started as she activated one of the main reasons she actually was here. ‘’... keep this up and we will be home in time for dinner…’’ she continued while the whole party got increased striking power.’’... let the bear show the power of the frontlienrs and that we are wrong players to mess with!’’ she finished off. Now she would get better focus and keep to what she should do, make her teammembers alive and harder hitting.

"Okay cool," Wulfrin said to himself as he eyed Calisto's HP bars. "Decent dent but that was also with twenty-three other players helping out."

His blade began to resonate with the echoing sound of Zandra's command. The icy mist pooled around his feet as he watched the beast prepare it's onslaught against their shadowy tank. As the giant Kumatetsu knock off recovered from playing with its chew toy, Wulfrin spotted his opening. The area around him shook as he moved at in human speeds, closing the distance in seconds. Icingdeath arced across the bear's underbelly. In its wake, a gash even longer and deeper than his last strike's. From it's center ice began to crystalize around the bear's wound. Necrotic veins pulsated as the venom that coated Wulfrin's weapon turned the toxic environment back on it's progenitor. Then the wave of lethargy hit. It felt like all the energy was drained from his body. His Energy was still pretty full, so that wasn't a cause. Then his stomach churned.

"Must be the Troll's Blood," Wulfrin said to himself as he fought back his feasts from earlier.

[Macradon 0]

Zandra was quick to react to an opening, quickly setting up her Leadership abilities and shouting words of encouragement. And just as quickly as before, Wulfrin would take the vanguard lead to fish out any more damage or debuffs to the ursine threat. A successful hit would begin to eat away at the bear with what seemed like Poison-esque infliction and a frosty explosion that would leave the bear at a more vulnerable spot, this was the time to strike, so Macradon prepared himself and got in close. Quickly sweeping in from the side the knight would engage his sword, gripping firmly in a relaxed stance as his ST-II would fire off, dealing a good blow to the boss while not expending all of his energy on a big hit … at least not yet. The combination of Zandra’s Leadership and Wulfrin’s disabling was an extremely potent combination that would help the frontlines properly dent into this bear’s health pool, they would surely have depleted the first health bar with this rotation. The knight would keep cool and stay silent, readying himself for any commands that would be called out while he was deep in the thick of it.

The giant bear took a swipe at Freyd, and he expected to see the man's HP bar move a little, but the amount it changed was not an amount the gaijin samurai could notice. Freyd was forced back on the soft ground under the force of the blow, but was able to shrug it off to the side. Zandra cried out words of encouragement, the energy of her leadership serving to buff their stats and Baldur saw the small icon show up with his status effects.

Everything is going according to plan.

The boss's health bar was getting close to dropping off the first bar. 8 health bars was a lot, even for a boss. There had to be something more than they were seeing here, but given the pacing of raid fights, he expected to see another full health bar of the boss' disappear shortly.

Mac and Wulfrin were the first in, their youth giving them the quickness they needed to jump back in once the post-sword art delay released them. Again, Baldur stood there a moment, studying the boss for a weakness. He was completely still, almost  like one of the trees as the battle raged around him like he wasn't even there. He had sheathed Zanshin as he prepared for this. There was a gap in the underside of the bear, a section that was stuck with so many weapons that it acted like armor or the spikes of a hedgehog.

The azure energy surged around his feet, blowing bits of leaves and dirt away. It dimmed as Baldur breathed in, and roared as Baldur breathed out. He could feel the system tugging at him, waiting to be released. He shifted his stance, ready to unleash his most powerful sword art. Then the bear slashed and Baldur saw his opening, just after it crashed down to the earth from another attack Baldur released the system, allowing it to rocket him forward at inhuman speeds.

His hand had switched to the <<Muramasa>>. The cursed blade that had taken more lives than any other sword. It was entrusted to him by one of the most notorious PKers who came to him searching for redemption. Afraid that the sword could not be trusted to anyone but Baldur. The black and red fire roared at he sailed through the sky, cutting a crimson arc across the field of battle and biting into the midsection, just under the ribs of the bear. Not quite the spot he had hoped to hit, but the system let him know he hit hard anyways. Sliding to a stop on the other side, he was frozen by the system for a heartbeat before he could move again, but he was in its blind spot once more.

"Be careful, if we burn through another health bar, the boss mechanics may change."

"Up the tempo eh?" he said as Zandra casts her buff. The bear took a few swings earlier as they attacked. Was it a flail of survival or annoyance? Crozeph stared at it as he stayed a few seconds midair. Everyone is doing a job well done, he had to pull his weight with consistency because of how thick the health bars are.

Callisto plunged towards Freyd and that was his cue. As soon as his toes touched the shitty ground he dashed forward, aiming just under the jaw of the bear with a single swing. "Blade Demon 1st form: Roaring Sunder" he uttered. Crozeph had to keep tabs of his attacks, naming it helps. The blade sink in like knife to sourdough, bear hide is a bitch to cut. Black spikes jutted out of the wound where he hit but it quickly fell off "tch, too shallow" he was aiming for another cut but it seems the bear is about to move again "you're gonna get that world star treatment for hitting Freyd."

Like an orchestra tuned and primed, each section delivered its intended part to the benefit of the whole. Zandra was first, her infectious zeal imbuing each of the others' spirits with fire and fury to be unleashed upon their gnashing and decrepit foe.  Its decomposing scent? Bearly tolerable.  Also fortunately flash frozen by Wulfrin's timely strike, and the wretched hankering to hurl subdued to the point of tolerating an angry algid turd.  

Mac and Baldur didn't disappoint, each devastating their foe the moment it lay exposed, with Crozeph building up momentum behind them both.  All that remained was to seal the deal and lock in the beast's attention.  That wouldn't be hard.  As the last of the collected shadows writhed at his back, Freyd flicked his wrist to let slink a slither of cunning ink.  Persi, ever the clever thing, slunk in to wrest control of the rest and spill over ontot he bear like a great deluge of void-based deoderant.  Freyd added a stab or two for effect, overshadowed by his familiar once more, and utterly fine with that.
