Arabelle 0 Posted November 26 #41 Share Posted November 26 (edited) 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. -> post action: st-i vs callisto the tainted: 529 dmg.

Pinball 1 Posted November 26 #42 Share Posted November 26 (edited) 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. *** -> Post Action: 499 DMG + DELAY to Callisto Spoiler PASSIVE: +4 EN POST ACTION: TECH-B vs Callisto (-14 EN) 238003: BD: 2+7= 9 (Hit) -> 29*16+80-45= 499 DMG + Delay Party Stat Blocks: [13] Jomei | HP: 767/1152 | EN: 130/134 | DMG: (8+4) 12 | MIT:214 | ACC:5 | TAUNT | F-SPIRIT | EVA:8 | BH:63 | HB: 51 | VAMP-D: 127 | BLI: 32/-20 | LD:1 | Clean | DOTE: 2/3 | [TXC VNM 64/3], [ENV-O 64/3] [6] Arabelle | HP: 816/816 | EN: 39/106 | DMG: (26+4) 30 | MIT:80 | ACC:5 | EVA:1 | THORNS:40 | BH:41 | HB: 33 | VAMP-D: 82 | RISK: 8 | FLN: 8 | BLD: 48 | BLI: 32/-20 | LD:1 | DOTE: 1/3 | HELLSTORM: 80 | STNG [x1] [3] Cordelia | HP: 908/920 | EN: 67/114 | DMG: (28+4) 32 | MIT:80 | ACC:7 | AA | PHASE | EVA:5 | BH:51 | HB: 20 | HLY: 16 | LD: 0 | TROLLS-B | [Madness 1: 12/1] | DOTE: 3/3 [5] Pinball | HP: 1032/1032 | EN: 65/122 | DMG: (25+4) 29 | ACC:7 | EVA:6 | BH:73 | HB: 45 | BLD:48 | BLI: 32/-20 | BRN: 56 | STC: 40 | TXC-V: 32 | LD:6 | DOTE: 3/3 | HELLSTORM: 80 | STNG [x1] | JEWEL | Clean [0] Lessa | HP: 1081/1081 | EN: 116/126 | DMG: 13 | MIT:187 | EVA:2 | THORNS:72 | BH:32 | HB: 43 | MENDING: 2 | REC: 8 | HLY: 8 | DOTE: 3/3 | PROB:36 | Clean [9] Bahr | HP: 987/1035 (-48 from Bleed) | EN: 95/124 | DMG: (24+4) 28 | MIT:163 | ACC:7 | EVA:4 | BH:52 | HB: 21 | REC: 4 | FLN: 8 | HLY: 16 | PHASE | LD:5 | DOTE: 1/3 | Clean Cooldowns: Jomei | Justified Riposte CD [3/4], Vengeful Riposte CD [3/4] Pinball | Lessa | Cordelia | Arabelle | Charge [2/3] Bahr | Edited November 26 by Pinball Link to post Share on other sites
Lessa 1 Posted November 26 #43 Share Posted November 26 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. "Be careful!" 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. ♫ Spoiler POST ACTION: Hyperactive > Arabelle 116 +4 (passive) - 5 (Hyperactive) = 115 Party Stat Blocks: [13] Jomei | HP: 767/1152 | EN: 130/134 | DMG: (8+4) 12 | MIT:214 | ACC:5 | TAUNT | F-SPIRIT | EVA:8 | BH:63 | HB: 51 | VAMP-D: 127 | BLI: 32/-20 | LD:1 | Clean | DOTE: 2/3 | [TXC VNM 64/3], [ENV-O 64/3] [6] Arabelle | HP: 816/816 | EN: 39/106 | DMG: (26+4) 30 | MIT:80 | ACC:5 | EVA:1 | THORNS:40 | BH:41 | HB: 33 | VAMP-D: 82 | RISK: 8 | FLN: 8 | BLD: 48 | BLI: 32/-20 | LD:1 | DOTE: 1/3 | HELLSTORM: 80 | STNG [x1] [3] Cordelia | HP: 908/920 | EN: 67/114 | DMG: (28+4) 32 | MIT:80 | ACC:7 | AA | PHASE | EVA:5 | BH:51 | HB: 20 | HLY: 16 | LD: 0 | TROLLS-B | [Madness 1: 12/1] | DOTE: 3/3 [5] Pinball | HP: 1032/1032 | EN: 65/122 | DMG: (25+4) 29 | ACC:7 | EVA:6 | BH:73 | HB: 45 | BLD:48 | BLI: 32/-20 | BRN: 56 | STC: 40 | TXC-V: 32 | LD:6 | DOTE: 3/3 | HELLSTORM: 80 | STNG [x1] | JEWEL | Clean [0] Lessa | HP: 1081/1081 | EN: 115/126 | DMG: 13 | MIT:187 | EVA:2 | THORNS:72 | BH:32 | HB: 43 | MENDING: 2 | REC: 8 | HLY: 8 | DOTE: 3/3 | PROB:36 | Clean [9] Bahr | HP: 987/1035 (-48 from Bleed) | EN: 95/124 | DMG: (24+4) 28 | MIT:163 | ACC:7 | EVA:4 | BH:52 | HB: 21 | REC: 4 | FLN: 8 | HLY: 16 | PHASE | LD:5 | DOTE: 1/3 | Clean Cooldowns: A couple CDs were missed from the last round, but this should be the most up to date list!

Plot Master 0 Posted November 26 Author #44 Share Posted November 26 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.

Plot Master 0 Posted November 26 Author #45 Share Posted November 26 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.

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).

Jomei 0 Posted December 1 #46 Share Posted December 1 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 Posted December 1 #47 Share Posted December 1 (edited) 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. *** Action Taken: {Sneak Attack} 218 DMG, DoTs Applied, DELAY Applied Spoiler +4 EN Free Action: [Vanish] [-5 EN] Action Taken: {Sneak Attack} [TECH-B] [-4 EN] Callisto: ID#238414 BD: 7 (Auto-Hit) -> 25*16= 400+80-45= 435/2= 218 DMG, DOTs Applied, DELAY Applied [12] Jomei | HP: 768/1152 | EN: 130/134 | DMG: 8 | MIT:214 | ACC:5 | TAUNT | F-SPIRIT | EVA:[0] 8 | BH:63 | HB: 51 | VAMP-D: 127 | BLI: 32/-20 | LD:1 | Clean | DOTE: 2/3 | [TXC VNM 64/3], [ENV-O 64/3] | ENSNARED [6] Arabelle | HP: 816/816 | EN: 39/106 | DMG: 26 | MIT:80 | ACC:5 | EVA:1 | THORNS:40 | BH:41 | HB: 33 | VAMP-D: 82 | RISK: 8 | FLN: 8 | BLD: 48 | BLI: 32/-20 | LD:1 | DOTE: 1/3 | HELLSTORM: 80 | STNG [x1] | HYPE 3/3 [3] Cordelia | HP: 908/920 | EN: 67/114 | DMG: 28 | MIT:80 | ACC:7 | AA | PHASE | EVA:5 | BH:51 | HB: 20 | HLY: 16 | LD: 0 | TROLLS-B | [Madness 1: 12/2] | DOTE: 3/3 [6] Pinball | HP: 1032/1032 | EN: 50/122 | DMG: 25 | ACC:7 | EVA:6 | BH:73 | HB: 45 | BLD:48 | BLI: 32/-20 | BRN: 56 | STC: 40 | TXC-V: 32 | LD:6 | DOTE: 3/3 | HELLSTORM: 80 | STNG [x1] | JEWEL | Clean [0] Lessa | HP: 1081/1081 | EN: 115/126 | DMG: 13 | MIT:187 | EVA:2 | THORNS:72 | BH:32 | HB: 43 | MENDING: 2 | REC: 8 | HLY: 8 | DOTE: 3/3 | PROB:36 | Clean [9] Bahr | HP: 1035/1035 | EN: 95/124 | DMG: 24| MIT:163 | ACC:7 | EVA:4 | BH:52 | HB: 21 | REC: 4 | FLN: 8 | HLY: 16 | PHASE | LD:5 | DOTE: 1/3 | Clean Cooldowns: Jomei | Focused Howl 2/4, Howl Refreshed Lessa | Press The Attack 2/3, Hyperactive 1/3 Arabelle | Charge 2/3 Pinball | Vanish 1/3 Edited December 3 by Pinball Link to post Share on other sites
Arabelle 0 Posted December 2 #48 Share Posted December 2 (edited) 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. -> post action: st-b vs callisto the tainted: 581 dmg.

Bahr 0 Posted December 2 #49 Share Posted December 2 (edited) "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 Posted December 3 #50 Share Posted December 3 (edited) “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 Posted December 3 #51 Share Posted December 3 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.” ♫ Spoiler POST ACTION: First Aid > Jomei Heal Jomei for 230.

Plot Master 0 Posted December 3 Author #52 Share Posted December 3 The husks of impossibly tall trees, enshrouded in rot and decay, seemed to curl inwards, as if peering down to spectate the climax of this epic battle. The sickening sounds of creaking, splitting wood accompanied the cacophony of blades crashing and the thrumming of heavy footfalls from the massive beast they sought to fell. It was not Callisto that was the first to fall, as the entity had sworn to itself. Many more would follow in the player’s footsteps, the crushing wight of Callisto atop of them being the last they would feel as the last breath of desperate air left their lungs. Pushing itself onto its hind legs, the massive embodiment of the corruption of the wood would let out a piercing wail, unlike any a typical bear would make. While no discernable words left its toothy maw, there was malice behind its roar. It mocked their comrade as the player’s body faded into nothing but shattered data before their very eyes. More will follow. More will fall.

Their health hit 0, and by the rules established and understood by our community for years, that would typically be the end of a character’s life. However, a request was brought up by another member of the player in question’s party if we would allow them to take the full brunt of the boss’ attack, sparing the player originally meant to die, and sacrificing themselves instead. Their arguments proved that it would make sense narratively, both within the raid thread and their own story. So after a couple of days of discussion with the players in question and the rest of staff, we have decided to approve their request. There will be a formal update that makes this mechanic available to all players in future raid parties soon.

Plot Master 0 Posted December 3 Author #53 Share Posted December 3 As colored yet horrific fragrance wafts through the air, that same fog would move its sights upon an unsuspecting gaggle of digital avatars. It would burn upon the skin like standing too close to an open flame, the smell a mix of rotten vegetation with the slightest dash of metallic undertone. Their very ears would ring to signify how unwelcome this dust was, and their eyes would begin to blur. A roar from within that coverage, as if it was under his command. Callisto was not done, and its ally had found itself into the ballroom blitz. That violet hued wave of pungent welcoming rolls across the room like the most bitterly biting wave of disapproval. Up was down, hands felt like feet, and the air tasted sublimely like oregano. Perhaps this was the door to madness, or perhaps that was the entrance to this grove. Screens become fuzzy, and maps end up on the flip side. Could the players figure out how to navigate their inventories with everything mixed up? Round 8 has begun.

Lessa 1 Posted December 6 #54 Share Posted December 6 Lessa turned to follow Bahr’s finger, and the color seeped from her face once more. “Oh my god,” she breathed, but the sound was lost to the chorus of raised voices surrounding her. Grief, rage, and a pain she could feel in her head and in her heart filled the space. When Lessa went to draw a breath, she couldn’t seem to fill her lungs. Cord’s advice found her first, but Lessa couldn’t blame Jomei when he turned to address the party. Though his words were rigid, the emotion in his eyes burned hot and wild. She couldn’t blame him for that, either. She hadn’t known Freyd well. In fact, the couple of interactions that they’d had had been somewhat unpleasant. But he was a Frontliner. He was just like her, willing to put his life on the line to escape their floating prison. And this time, he’d paid that ultimate price. Nothing could change that. “Go get’m,” Lessa whispered, lifting her sword to boost her party’s damage as tears pricked the back of her eyes. ♫ Spoiler Post Action: Press the Attack | All players received +4 DMG.

Cordelia 0 Posted December 6 #55 Share Posted December 6 (edited) Amidst the mayhem of conflict, several furious shouts and cries of grief caught her attention. Cordelia’s blood ran cold in her veins. Freyd– the bright-eyed newbie that had been there to witness her in her lowest moments– was gone just like that; nothing more than a flurry of blue fractals in the breeze, and even that barely lasted for more than a few seconds. Cordelia hadn’t been there to witness his almost inhuman climb to the top of Aincrad’s ranks, but that didn’t really matter in the end, did it? No matter how many times she’s heard about his feats in the passing wind, he never stopped being the person who helped her pick herself up after falling into a slump. "Hah! You haven't looked at yourself from the eyes of a fledgling player in a while, have you? You and Mari were virtual goddesses in my eyes. And, so very human too." Being human didn’t seem to be enough– not when life slipped through her fingers so easily. The memory broke the fog in her head, and she leaned back on her heels as if to bask in it just for a little longer. Cordelia didn’t believe in any higher being, not when the last few years of her life had been confined to a digital hell, but in the short time she had, she whispered a small prayer for whatever being or deity that would guide Freyd to a restful slumber. It was the least she could do when she had never repaid him for his help. Being a beacon of hope hadn’t mattered in the end, obviously. They were still fighting– always fighting– and Freyd was still dead. Anger, fear, and regret swirled in her head like a dangerous cocktail, but a distant reminder served as an anchor amidst the downward spiral. “This place needs capable heroes and inspiring figures to keep the rest of us motivated to reach the top of the castle.” She echoed those familiar words with a bittersweet murmur, as if amused with how the tables had suddenly turned. Cordelia wasn’t the hero of this battle. Her eyes blazed with a renewed vigor, and she turned to the rest of her companions. “Focus.” It was a simple instruction, but one that spoke multitudes. Cordelia was far from a motivational speaker; she didn’t have the power to rally like Macradon, nor the passion to inspire like the others following suit. Her voice would be likely drowned out by the chaos that followed a fallen warrior, but if anything, the advice was for herself. “Being blinded by your grief won’t make this fight any easier.” The words would hopefully linger long after she dove back into the battlefield, fueled by the need to make Freyd’s death mean something. She brandished Onimaru with practiced ease, and the hiss of the cursed sword only urged her forward to slay this demonic beast.

Jomei 0 Posted December 6 #56 Share Posted December 6 He gave it all, but his all wasn't enough. Knuckles white as he tried to grip tight at the tufts of the bear's fur, slick and matted with all kinds of putrid muck. He felt no release from the pressure atop his leather chest plate. Jomei was at the mercy of Callisto, and it didn't seem that he was going to be shown much of it. And suddenly, a small reprieve in the crushing weight. Coming to his rescue was Bahr, who had managed to use the beast's distracted state - and a better angle of leverage - to give Jomei but a moment to slip free from under the massive paw. The escape was successful, definitely not graceful. Jomei struggled to push himself up to his feet, while a stumbling Bah would trip over the Irishman's ankles - it was a mess, but they were alive. "Hoo." Jomei exhaled, finally able to take a deep breath once more. "I owe ya one." his voice exasperated, but he still managed a smirk. He rose a quick thumbs up in Cord's direction to confirm that they were, in fact, okay. "All good.. Fucker's heavy." he would ass with a small laugh and pat of his chest. "Still alive, so guess I'm doin' somethin' right." Just before he was able to retrieve his blade and rejoin the fray Lessa had rushed before them, her pale complexion almost matching his own. She held on tight to each of their arms, the emotion of watching the two go through that daring escape obviously washed over her. With that same smile that always seemed to creep up whenever she was around, he would bring a hand across his chest and place it atop hers with a gentle pat. "Thanks to Bahr." he nodded. "Yeah." he snickered, "I would not suggest goin' on that ride. It sucks." A wave of healing energy washed over Jomei, placing his health bar into a much more comfortable range. "Ah. Appreciate you, lass." he'd say with a small bow of his head. When he looked back up at her, however, everything seemed.. different. The trees were swaying, and turning purple? For a moment, everything felt like he was looking through a fish eye lens.. with this some other weird effect of the forest's corruption. His head buzzed, a loud ringing with the backdrop of.. what sounded like screaming? He tried to blink away the confusion, but to no avail. The booming voice of his friend and comrade, a message to all of those gathered to fight this foe to the very end. To fight for their fallen ally, Freyd. "W-what?" Jomei was barely able to get out, as everything around him came back into focus within an instant. Freyd was dead? It didn't seem possible, one of the strongest players in Aincrad, an immovable force of a tank in battle. And he was dead just like that. What did that mean for Jomei, who barely had gotten his feet wet with the task? No, now was not the time to doubt himself. Now was the time to do exactly what Mac said. Fight. Olive eyes with a lust for revenge rose to glare at Callisto. "No one else dies, you hear me?" his voice deadly serious as he spoke back to his comrades. "We do this, we fight and we win. For Freyd, and everyone else who died to get us here." Hooking his violin onto his hip, he would activate his Charge skill to propel him forward. Quickly picking up his rapier that had been knocked out of his hands, Jomei launched himself at Calliso, bringing his sword arm back and allowing the sharp tip to come crashing down, ripping into Callisto's side. It wasn't much damage, but he didn't care. They needed to end this now. Kicking off of the massive bear, he would pull his rapier free and take a defensive position, ready to combat anything Callisto would throw at him.

Arabelle 0 Posted December 6 #57 Share Posted December 6 (edited) huh. did someone die? from the fog comes screaming. desperate rallying calls. rage. grief. arabelle, having earlier pried herself from the revenant to stand by lessa, bahr, and jomei's little cuddle pile to check on their tank's condition, quietly turns her head in the direction of the uproar, her expression blank. the world seems to have stood still in that moment, as on a side of the battleground invisible to her, pieces of light drifted to stilled waters. well, things had been rather boring around here. they even threw a marriage party at the raid meeting. her red eyes land somewhere between jomei and lessa. "careful now," she advises. then she spins around and walks off. out of everyone's sight, arabelle raises a gloved hand to her lips, covering a harsh exhalation of her breath. that strange out-of-body sensation takes ahold of her once again and it only staggers her, a little worse than it did before. with lessa's blessing, with her eyes on callisto's last two health bars, she places her hand back on the scythe and [charges]. if everyone is done crying now -- perhaps it's time to escort this one to its rightful grave before it digs a dozen others? -> post action: aoe-i (charge) vs callisto the tainted: 563 dmg.

Bahr 0 Posted December 8 #58 Share Posted December 8 (edited) "Hoo." Jomei let loose once they'd cleared the monster's area of influence. "I owe ya one." "Sure," the Kingslayer managed as he finally found solid footing, eyes still affixed against the hulking mass of rotten bullshit that had been abusing them for the past hour or so. Their retreat hadn't been the most elegant, but survival rarely was. "Let's just hope you're a little more graceful than me when it comes time to cash in." In response to Cordelia's inquiry, both Bahr and Jomei - in unison - raised a thumb to the affirmative. It was honestly a little weird, and Bahr dropped his hand quickly, hoping nobody had noticed. No sooner had Bahr and Jomei concluded their unflattering escape than they found themselves in the clutches of their blonde support, her owlish azure orbs boring into the pair as she discerned their status. “You’re okay,” she finally managed, “You’re both okay. Okay. Good.” One suspiciously manic laugh later, and she seemed to have regained some semblance of composure. “That was scary. Really really scary. Fuck.” She grasped her own visage between gauntlet-clad mitts, a self-soothing technique Bahr had witnessed before. As endearing as Bahr found Lessa's quirks, there was an uproar not far off that he found himself distracted by. When he had opened his mouth to respond, the clamor seemingly stole the words right out of him. His eyes shifted away from hers and focused on the commotion. Squinting didn't seem to reveal much, but whatever it was, it wasn't good based on the reaction of their peers. Finally, he caught a glimpse of cerulean pixels wafting on the breeze, and he knew. ”Seriously. I’m not sure I could have moved that fast. And - yeah. I don’t know what might have happened.” "Maybe something like that," he remarked grimly, visage contorting with horror as the true nature of their situation dawned on him. A single outstretched index finger would guide their eyes toward the source of the cacophony, as well as the rapidly dissipating miasma of fractal shards. A poignant, albeit crude, gesture. One motivated by Bahr's desire to spread awareness of the situation to the rest of the party, while himself not entirely sure how to process it in a way that made it more palatable. Perhaps such methodology eluded him because death wasn't meant to be palatable. A rally cry rose above the rest of the noise, one he recognized as belonging to Macradon. Had it really been Freyd that had died? Bahr had never been terribly close to the guy, but his power was unmistakable and recognized throughout the Frontlines. Out of any and all who could have fallen victim to this clumsy oaf of a floor boss, Freyd was one of the last Bahr would have expected, especially after having fought alongside him in the past and having bore witness to his technique. The weight of it sat heavy on Bahr's chest, despite the fact that Freyd had not been his to grieve. If people like him were going down, survival wasn't guaranteed for anyone. Tunnel-vision would be an understatement in describing how Bahr felt, and what he saw. Thick gray seeped in from his peripheries and chipped away at corporeal reality, gradually blocking out all external stimuli until all that remained was Bahr and the remaining fractal stragglers that had yet to fully evaporate. “You didn’t even like him,” Bahr muttered, a dry bitterness in his tone. “You barely knew him.” “You mourn what he represents,” came the cold, measured voice behind him, like a whisper in his bones. Bahr didn’t startle. He’d felt Death’s arrival as a chill that cut through the warmth of Aincrad’s artificial autumn. Death was not a stranger to him, nor was its presence unexpected. “Yeah?” Bahr asked without turning. His arms crossed over his chest as he gazed into the patch of muck the plume of pixels had risen from. “What’s that?” “Finality.” Bahr’s lips twisted into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “Seems like you’d be used to that.” Death moved forward to stand side-to-side with Bahr, the sound of its steps eerily absent. It stopped just at the edge of Bahr’s vision, a faint, shifting silhouette like smoke against the vibrant forest backdrop. “It is not I who struggles with finality, Bahr. It is you. Always you.” Bahr exhaled sharply, his jaw tightening as his gaze dropped to the ground. Slowly, his eyes shifted leftward, burning with something caught between anger and exhaustion. The cold apathy of empty eye sockets returned his stare. “I know how this works. One misstep, one overreach, and that’s it. I get it. I’ve seen it before. But this... this feels different.” “Different?” Death’s tone was cool, neutral, though there was something probing in it. “He was one of us. One of the strongest among us. Possibly the strongest. Stronger than me, for sure.” Though it may have pained him to admit it. He ran a hand through his hair, the ivory strands falling back into disarray. “First one of us Callisto’s managed to take out. Feels wrong, doesn’t it? Like the system made a mistake.” Death was silent for a moment, its shadowy form still as if considering. Its presence was oppressive yet strangely calm, like the weight of inevitability itself. Finally, it spoke. “The system does not err. It only enforces the rules it was built to uphold. Freyd faced the end, as all must.” “Really?” Bahr spat, turning his gaze on Death. “And what about me? You took me - what was it? Two dozen times? More? What’s the rule there? Why do I get to keep coming back while Freyd’s just… gone?" Death’s laugh in response was soft, almost pitying. “You speak as though I choose. The threads of life snap when their time is due. I am but the ferryman for those who cross.” “Bullshit,” Bahr snapped. “You’ve taken me before. Again and again, in that fight against the Forgotten Time King. You came every damn time, and every time, that bastard rewound everything and forced me back.” Death tilted its head slightly, the motion fluid as oil, a gesture that may have communicated curiosity. “You know the answer, Bahr. Your defiance of death was not your doing, nor mine. Time itself was twisted against its natural course. I only collect those whose journeys are complete. A cruel kindness, wouldn’t you agree?” Bahr’s teeth ground together. "Cruel’s one way to put it. You make it sound so clean. So simple. But it’s not, is it? Freyd’s journey didn’t feel complete. Not to him. Not to me.” “It is the nature of life to end.” There was a faint note of finality in its voice. “Even those who fight against it, as you have, will eventually fall. Freyd’s thread has run its course, just as Callisto’s hunger demanded it. That is all.” “That is all,” Bahr echoed bitterly, pacing now, his boots crunching through the brittle leaves and squelching into sopping earth. "You say it like it’s nothing. Like he was nothing. He deserved better than to be torn apart by that-" His words broke off into a growl, the image of Callisto’s monstrous form still fresh in his mind. Death regarded him silently for a long moment before speaking again. “You’ve danced on the edge of my scythe more times than I care to count. Yet here you stand. Not through your own strength or cunning, but through forces beyond your control. Time was your shield against me, Bahr. Freyd had no such luxury.” “That’s a hell of a thing to say,” Bahr said, his voice low, a dangerous edge creeping in. “If you’re trying to make me feel better, you’re terrible at it.” “Comfort is not my role. Truth is.” Bahr turned away, his fists clenched as he stared into the treeline. Callisto was still rampaging, its grotesque form undoubtedly moving toward its next victim. “Freyd deserved better,” he said finally, his voice rough but steady. “So do the rest of them. I’m tired of carrying ghosts. I’ll deal with Callisto, and it won’t be for revenge. It’ll be to make damn sure no one else has to cross your path because of that thing.” Death's expression was a difficult one to discern, for obvious reasons. But Bahr could have sworn he saw a twinkle of pride in its eye. “Your defiance remains intact. Perhaps that is why you continue to elude me.” Bahr huffed a humorless laugh. “Don’t get too attached. One of these days, you’ll get me for good. Maybe even sooner than you think.” “Perhaps.” Death’s form began to waver, fading like smoke caught in a sudden breeze. “But not today.” Freyd may have been gone, but Bahr wasn't. That means this stupid fucking bear's days are numbered. Pixels still hung in the air - the last remnants of Freyd’s existence dissolving into oblivion. Then the roar came. Callisto swiveled its massive, decayed head toward their party. The paleness of its deadened eyes radiated malice, and ichor dripped from its fungal-thatched maw as it studied their formation, looking for its opportunity to strike. The grotesque mass of mismatched flesh stood now as a monolith of death, its frame still twitching with the violence it had just unleashed. Bahr’s grip tightened around the hilt of Dawn's Demise, his crimson eyes locking onto the beast with intensity such that he was surprised the monster did not catch flame. His chest burned, not from exertion, but from something raw and unfiltered - a mix of rage, grief, and cold, seething purpose. “Freyd...” Bahr muttered under his breath, the words barely audible over the sound of Callisto’s guttural growls. “Leave this one to us.” He didn’t wait for the bear to make the first move. With a single step, Bahr propelled himself forward, the force of his acceleration leaving a faint, rosy trail in the air. The world around him became a blur - trees, shadows, even the fading remnants of Freyd’s fractals - all fading into insignificance. There was only Callisto. His blade gleamed as it left its scabbard, the motion as fluid and natural as breathing. In his mind, there was no hesitation, no doubt. He aimed for the creature’s clavicle, the weak spot where rotted flesh met the exposed bone of its ribcage. Bahr’s leap was perfectly timed. The bear reared up on its hind legs, its massive claws swiping through the space Bahr had occupied only moments before. But Bahr was already airborne, his blade coming down in a vicious arc. The slice was clean, precise. Crimson steel met decayed flesh, carving through the corrupted tissue with terrifying ease. Blackened ichor sprayed into the air, a foul rain that hissed and bubbled where it struck the ground. Callisto let out a choked roar, staggering backward as its body convulsed. Bahr landed in a crouch, his boots digging into the slimy gunk as he rose, his sword still pointed toward the monster. His breathing was steady, his gaze unflinching. The bear thrashed, its hulking frame buckling more with rage than pain, but Bahr didn’t dare look away. Even as the monster wavered, Bahr’s instincts screamed at him to stay alert. The beast wasn’t dead - not yet. And Bahr had no intention of letting Freyd’s death go unanswered. “Come on,” Bahr growled, his voice low, challenging. “You’ve taken one of us. Let’s see you try to take me.” This wasn’t just vengeance. It was justice. Note from the author: The segment with Death is internal monologue - Bahr isn't standing there just audibly talking to himself.

Pinball 1 Posted December 9 #59 Share Posted December 9 (edited) They were hit with a new lair effect: this time, they'd find their inventories completely inaccessible. That was troublesome, to say the least. As his team seemed fairly occupied with Callisto, still, as did most of the raid, Pinball continued to stay his distance, dancing around the edges of the room and staying out of range as best as he could. Sometimes he'd dart in for a quick slash, as was the case when Callisto's lair effect made him somewhat invulnerable, but he never stayed long. Such was his situation now, and Pinball didn't bother getting close again when Callisto's attention seemed firmly fixated on the tanks in front of it. Pinball flicked a couple of knives at the beast, his eyes staying locked onto the furry floor boss's form only until he could confirm that his attack had landed. Tough to miss, against a creature of that size. Pinball tightened his grip on his cloak and hurried aside. *** Action Taken: 435 DMG + DELAY Spoiler +4 EN Action Taken: [TECH-B] [-14 EN] CALLISTO: ID#238655 BD: 5+7 (Hit) - 25*16= 400+80-45= 435 DMG + DELAY Party Stat Blocks: [14] Jomei | HP: 984/1152 | EN: 121/134 | DMG: 12 | MIT:214 | ACC:5 | TAUNT | F-SPIRIT | EVA: 8 | BH:63 | HB: 51 | VAMP-D: 127 | BLI: 32/-20 | LD:1 | Clean | DOTE: 2/3 | [TXC VNM 64/2], [ENV-O 64/2] | COUNTER [25%] [8] Arabelle | HP: 816/816 | EN: 14/106 | DMG: 30 | MIT:80 | ACC:5 | EVA:1 | THORNS:40 | BH:41 | HB: 33 | VAMP-D: 82 | RISK: 8 | FLN: 8 | BLD: 48 | BLI: 32/-20 | LD:1 | DOTE: 1/3 | HELLSTORM: 80 | STNG [x1] | HYPE 1/3 [5] Cordelia | HP: 920/920 | EN: 42/114 | DMG: 32 | MIT:80 | ACC:7 | AA | PHASE | EVA:5 | BH:51 | HB: 20 | HLY: 16 | LD: 0 | TROLLS-B | DOTE: 3/3 [7] Pinball | HP: 1032/1032 | EN: 33/122 | DMG: 29 | ACC:7 | EVA:6 | BH:73 | HB: 45 | BLD:48 | BLI: 32/-20 | BRN: 56 | STC: 40 | TXC-V: 32 | LD:6 | DOTE: 3/3 | HELLSTORM: 80 | STNG [x1] | JEWEL | Clean [0] Lessa | HP: 1081/1081 | EN: 104/126 | DMG: 13 | MIT:187 | EVA:2 | THORNS:72 | BH:32 | HB: 43 | MENDING: 2 | REC: 8 | HLY: 8 | DOTE: 3/3 | PROB:36 | Clean [10] Bahr | HP: 1035/1035 | EN: 95/124 | DMG: (24+4) 28 | MIT:163 | ACC: 7 | EVA: 4 | BH: 52 | HB: 21 | REC: 4 | FLN: 8 | HLY: 16 | PHASE | LD:5 | DOTE: 1/3 | Clean Cooldowns: Jomei | Focused Howl 4/4, Charge 1/3 Lessa | Hyperactive 3/3 Press The Attack 1/3 Pinball | Vanish 2/3 Cordelia | Charge 1/3 Arabelle | Charge 1/3 Edited December 9 by Pinball Link to post Share on other sites
Plot Master 0 Posted December 9 Author #60 Share Posted December 9 What? A series of growls and snarls, impossibly violent from a creature that should've long been dead followed the emergence of that figure from beyond Cardinal's grasp. Vengeance followed in its every step, the beast slack-jawed, impetuous, rampaging across the night-clad bowl. Once, then twice, it became obvious a certain sort of impatience, frenzy had enveloped its prerogative. Callisto's swings, however wide and impactful, only grazed air, its form flickering, blades of color dragged off its hide for a second longer than it had existed within the area. Hues shifted in aberration, and the world fixed Callisto in place as though to reconsolidate its errors from the past. None of it worked. Only one fortunate brandish of its claws snapped to its destination sooner than expected had caught on a mark. Left to pace hysterically at the center of the bowl, its once cruel barks started to fade into labored releases. Slowed, it almost looked as though the corpse was trapped, desperate, but nonetheless defiant.
