[BR-F28] Paving the Way to Floor 29 [Team 4: Jomei]

[Arabelle 0]

stagger, stagger, stagger!

the half health point is breached.

the revenant beast is flayed open and melting, the fleshy and soft bits stripping away to bare the nebulous power driving Him far, far past His natural death. something like a tangible heavy fog presses her down and visibility dips. binding roots spring from the turbid water. He folds His hunters between sky and earth.

as if that would stop their ascent.

the music stops. bahr burns away the hindrances. there is a tickling feeling like the ghost of a maniacal laugh building up in arabelle's chest, but for appearance's sake! people are dying; she doesn't quite let it out. she shakes off the remaining ash from her white clothes and faithfully joins in the chorus of callouts, "i'm good. watch out, everyone! it might be a new attack pattern," and primes herself for another strike.

the flesh is falling away but apparently He doesn't need it. so break His bones. chop Him into pieces.

she flips her scythe backwards and slams it in blunt-side first.

[Pinball 1]

There was a change in the attack patterns. Lair actions? It wasn't an impossibility, and it looked like a lot of different things started to happen at once. A quick glance around confirmed his suspicions: every other party was dealing with something very similar to them. Pinball retrieved his blades and began to turn his attention to the snares all around them, impeding their progress... but the others were a little quicker to react, given their proximity, and so Pinball returned to doing what he did best. He threw the pair of blades back at Callisto, once again looking to apply the status effect he'd been applying since the beginning of their fight. Pinball remained in the back of the party, dancing around the field, staying close to his party but a decent ways away from the rampaging bear in the center of the arena. Callisto wasn't very high above half health. It hopefully wouldn't last much longer.

[Lessa 1]

A curse fell from chapped lips as Lessa watched Callisto rake at Jomei’s midsection once more. A quick glance at his health bar revealed he didn’t take too much damage - certainly not as much as he might have without his new tank build. But that didn’t stop the wince as she watched her friend stumble backward. a she called out for what felt like the millionth time since the fight began. She had to trust that he’d be fine - he was their tank, afterall. But that didn’t keep her from worrying.

Her attention was quickly drawn away as vines thrust upward from the ground. As visions of Graboids danced in her head, Lessa flopped like a fish on a line. “Get off,” she ground out through gritted teeth, arching her back as she clawed at the binds around her chest. Amid her struggling, she looked over to see that the rest of her party - the rest of the raid, actually - had met the same fate.

At Jomei’s comment, Lessa grimaced. “Yuuup,” she drawled. “These content creators really know how to drive me up a wall.”

The faint smell of smoke rose above the stench of death, shifting Lessa’s gaze once more. She blinked owlishly as the vines disintegrated beneath Bahr’s gentle touch, and gave a low whistle as her own fell away. “Nicely done,” she commented, giving a little shake as if to rid herself of lingering holds.

She scooped up her weapon, which she’d dropped when she’d been ensnared, and leveled it at Arabelle. “Another top off,” she informed the other woman, before forcing power through the blade. With it, her party mate’s energy jumped up to a more reasonable level.

[Plot Master 0]

The beast’s growl rolled like thunder, its thick fur bristled beneath the swirling tendrils of mist. Gore, and something altogether unworldly oozed from cuts in the bear’s hide. If the wounds caused any pain, or if the creature noticed them at all, it gave no indication. Instead, it continued to grapple with the captured Players, its yellowed teeth glinting in the faint light. Paws the size of dinner plates swatted at the ensnared humans, razor-sharp nails skipping along veins that could be easily cut and drained. 

Three attempts and three failures. Power, rage, and the hot stink of death rolled off Callisto in waves as the bear turned to the final tank. The green-clad Player, who had stolen Callisto’s attention countless times with the screech of his bow against those strings. He who had taunted with sounds, and with words, and escaped capture time and time again. Not this time. With a howl of defiance, the beast threw himself at Jomei, knocking the man off his feet, and swallowing him up beneath a mass of fur and carnage.

Furious vines retract back into the earth, like wounded snakes slithering back into the depths of their den. Though the danger of the swiping thorns may have passed, the horrors certainly persisted. As if the decaying woods around Callisto's den itself were unleashing all of its power upon the players to stop them from vanquishing their tether to this realm. Once the last of the green appendages escaped their sight, blue, ethereal smoke quickly rose from the breaks in the ground. Souls of the damned cursed to come to the aid of the very creature that ended its life. The balls of ethereal fog swirled like a vortex around them in patterns that were undiscernible. Twisted images of elongated faces, contorting with whatever pains they were subject to in the afterlife. As Callisto steps into this ring of tortured spirits, he begins to move in a similar fashion. Shifting from one spot to the next faster than they can keep track. 

Round 7 has begun.

Lair action Descriptions:
Blooming Decay | LD 1-5 | Callisto will regenerate 1% of his maximum hitpoints at the start of his next turn, when this occurs this effect ends. This buff can be removed before Callisto's turn if Burn is applied/refreshed by your party.
Nature's Fury | LD 6-10 | At the start of Callisto's next turn, all players are inflicted with bleed 2. If this would refresh an existing bleed, the entire damage is dealt before refreshing. This effect is removed when your party uses their post actions to make a culminative LD (Nimble + Evasion Modifier) roll of 30 to free themselves from their binds and assist their team.
Stride the Spirit Realm | LD 11-15 | While Callisto has this buff, his evasion is set to 10 and the first successful attack does not deal damage. After the first successful attack, this buff is removed (i.e., successive attacks will deal damage and his evasion is reset to its normal amount). In addition, while under the effects of Stride the Spirit Realm, all activated Accuracy bonuses (Rally, Concentration, etc.) provide double the normal accuracy modifier during player's attacks.
Addled Memory | LD 16-20 | Harrowing sounds of old drown out deeper thoughts, your party can no longer use items until the start of Callisto's next turn. This effect is removed when your party uses their post action to make a culminative LD (Searching + Detect + Trinket + Food) roll of 30 to shake themselves out of this stupor.

[Jomei 0]

With dead eyes filled with a burning rage, Callisto charge at the group. Dark ichor poured from its open maw like saliva as its growl quickly rose into a menacing roar. Following patterns similar to the last time the beast had struck the entire group with a single blow, Jomei felt a pit form in his stomach. They had recovered from the last, devastating blow, but only just barely. Another like that could spell a lot of trouble for them. There was no dodging this strike - no, that would put the others in even more danger - he would need to take the full front and block it. Stepping further out in front of his teammates, he would quickly holster the violin once more, to brace all of his weight behind the thin body of his rapier. 

Coming from a blur of a body, a something shimmered in the air is it cut through the air like a dart. A blade, more easily seen once it lodged into the hide of Callisto, thrown by a member of his party. The attack had just enough force behind it to knock Callisto off of his track, and abandon that area swipe again. Jomei felt some peace of mind, but only for a brief moment. That fire still burned behind Callisto's eyes, but were focused solely on the ginger now. With no time to react, Callisto charged Jomei and threw all of their body weight against him. All of the wind left Jomei's lungs as he was violently tossed onto the ground, followed by the crushing power of Callisto's massive paw on top of him. 

He gripped at whatever fur he could, trying to pry himself free from the beast's grasp. "Grrr SHIT!" he cursed as he strained and pushed to no avail. "I-I think I can-" Jomei would try to fight against the bear, grunting and growling as he used whatever grip he could get a hold of to lift the bear off of him just enough to slip out. Just when he felt as though he was making progress, Callisto shifted and all of his weight came down on top of Jomei again. He didn't feel any pain, but the numbness in his chest probably meant he was dealing with some broken ribs.. if that was a thing. Out of breath, he called to his teammates, "he..help.."

[Pinball 1]

Callisto made off with half of Jomei's health points and Pinball was finally compelled to a certain sense of urgency. The status effect was something he knew he could counteract fairly easily. He wasted no time in executing that plan. Even though he'd spent most of the fight in the back of the party, Pinball now through himself on the frontlines, getting as close as possible to apply his nullifying effects. He flickered in and out of shadow, vanishing completely before reappearing as he cut across Callisto's flank. He ditched the daggers in the bear's hide and used its mass as a springboard to launch himself back to safety. He landed nimbly and skipped backwards, his hands beneath his cloak, hood up, an aura of shadows coalesced around his form fading with every retreating step. Pinball exhaled; hopefully Delay did some more work in that regard, and hopefully whatever that had just happened would in fact not happen again soon. He flicked a new pair of blades into his hands and returned to that same practiced song and dance he knew so well: stay on the back foot, the retreat, and wait for your opening.

[Arabelle 0]

the knightly woman, light of her life, comes up to her. "another top off."

"appreciate it."

a rejuvenating force washes through arabelle's tired limbs. it is barely enough to stem the tide, but in the moment, it works. she has, what, three attacks remaining, if she budgets? four with their helpful support's little magic trick. "i might need to swap into doing something less consumptive soon," arabelle reluctantly warns the four gathered around her, "any of you need me on plant burning duty, give me a holler."

but for now, with a stronger sword art in tow, she'll stick to the role she likes the most.

callisto opens His maw. a knife from their elusive sixth shuts Him up. then He throws a tantrum like a big angry baby; they all scatter, arabelle charging forward, mere inches from the forest lord's claws; and with an earthshaking leap, four becomes three. callisto's pinned down their noisy tank and is moments away from crushing him to death. as much as he deserves it for that nauseating performance, they might all die if he does.

specters rise from the water but another well-placed knife from the backline dispatches of them. arabelle glances sidelong, her eyes dark, finds that she's still quite close to their support. she will not touch even a thread of that man's cloak. "miss lessa. put up a barrier for him."

her message passed on, arabelle throws herself at callisto, striking Him as hard as she can in a bid to get Him to let go.

[Bahr 0]

"H-HEY NOW!" It seemed the glorious goober had deigned to scoop up their party's tank and take him for a ride. As humorous as Bahr was certain this would all seem once they were on the other side of this, they sorta needed their tank for this fight, and he couldn't imagine that Jomei was having any fun being ragdolled around in the clutches of that hulking mass of rotten flesh. Bahr sheathed Dawn's demise and leapt toward the creature, managing to grasp hold of a few clumps of fur attached to the monster's massive arm. As the boss' enormous frame swayed and jilted around with each movement, one of those clumps of fur ripped straight clean from the hide of the bear, and Bahr was forced to dangle by the grip of his other hand's grip. This was righted by Bahr leveraging the bear's own thrashing motion to swing himself closer toward Jomei and wrap the now-free hand around one of the paw's subduing the party's tank.

"Seems like a shitty situation," Bahr suggested with an unflattering grunt as he planted two feet against one paw and his shoulders against the other, pushing with all of his might until enough space was made for Jomei to maneuver his way out of Callisto's grasp. "Ghrrrnnn- let's get the fuck outta here."

Once their viridescent virtuoso had freed himself from the boss' clutches, Bahr shrugged to give himself an extra smidgen of space before rolling out of the way of the creature's paws, allowing them to smash together clumsily as he beat a hasty retreat. Uncoordinated footsteps which half-tripped over one another brought Bahr back toward the line with the rest of his crew, keeping a wary eye on the bear for any unforeseen punitive response that it may have had in store for them.

[Cordelia 0]

“Holy shit, are you guys okay?” Cordelia held up her hands worriedly as she approached Jomei and Bahr, the former having taken a less than joyful ride with Callisto’s claws. Callisto’s sudden charge at Jomei was alarming, but the concern was short lived with the quick response from Bahr. The bear’s abrupt burst of speed was also short lived with an attack from the shadows, and Cordelia huffed when she realized she had barely seen their team’s sixth member even after all this time.

Typical Pinball. She guessed. Probably.

With the antidote applied and the rest of her team safe (for the most part), Cordelia went back to hackin’ and slashin’ away at the bear. Her feet swept her back into the fray, and a familiar charge filled her veins as her katana tore away at Callisto’s decaying flesh. Her sword hummed with energy, and she readjusted her grip in response.

[Lessa 1]

In a tangle of limbs and fabric, Lessa flung herself at Bahr and Jomei as the pair moved away from Callisto. Her cheeks, normally flushed a pretty pink, were sheet white. “You’re okay,” she managed, trembling fingers digging into the sleeves of both men as if to tether herself to them. “You’re both okay. Okay. Good.” She laughed out a hard breath, as if to shrug off the fear that squeezed her heart, but it came out borderline manic.

Drawing back a step, her eyes swept over both men. Jomei’s healthbar had dipped lower than she’d liked, but otherwise, they seemed to have made it out unscathed. It could have been so much worse. “That was scary,” Lessa rambled on, panting a bit as she gazed over her shoulder at Callisto. “Really really scary. Fuck.” Finally releasing her hold on them, Lessa pressed her hands to her face. The gauntlets made the action a bit awkward, but the cool metal plates felt good against her face; the color was quickly rushing back.

“Thank you,” she said from behind her hands. When they fell away again, she met and held Bahr’s mismatched gaze. ”Seriously. I’m not sure I could have moved that fast. And - yeah. I don’t know what might have happened.”

She swallowed around a lump in her throat before shifting her attention to Jomei. “Alright, you. C’mere.” Lifting her sword to fill the space between them, Lessa drew power from her core, and sent it slipping down the blade. Gentle blue light splashed across the Irishman, a cooling sensation followed by a significant uptick in his health. “That’s better.”
