Full Moon Log : Hermit

[velvetbosses.livejournal.com]

When midnight strikes and the dark hour falls, characters will notice things are not going as they have in the past few weeks. The streets, normally crawling with shadows, are empty. There’s a thick tension in the air and characters may feel a strange power pulling them towards the dungeon in the business ward.

Once there characters will find a large creature (the Hermit) in the entrance way. It is crawling on several legs, has a mask like face and gravity defying blue fur around the head. Several feet away from it, spaced out in a semi circle around it are smaller creatures (Noble Seekers). These creatures look like floating clay masks with eyes encircling them. Once the larger shadow sees the intruders, it will emit a loud cry and run outside.

Once there it will get atop a building and the smaller shadows will start to attack. These foes are attempting to force the characters in small groups and are attacking one at a time.

The small groups shouldn’t be of more than three characters. The objective is the defeat the smaller shadows, doing so will defeat the Hermit.

Pre Fight

Talk here about anything leading up to the fight. Characters can band together here, talk about what they think is going on, etc.

Kaito did investigate the surroundings before this. The numbers of the Shadows were decressing, which made him quite relieved. But it didn't take him too long when he sensed a strong force of power that midnight, and he's going to check it out again. Noticing the empty streets without a single Shadow, something will happening.

He loaded with full equips, and waiting for the others. He certainy sure that he's not the only one who sense this. Going alone would risk himself.

"Kaito!"

Already equipped for the night, Atsuro's running over to him. The lack of Shadows around was both a relief and somewhat worrying. A part of him wondered if it meant something, leading to Atsuro checking the area earlier.

[ Garviel is pulled towards the dungeon, gladius and pistol at his waist, belted to him, expression bemused. ]

That's odd....

Mr. Loken?

[Allen is being pulled along as well. His claws are already held in his hands.]

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

[Madoka is in the middle of following the sensation that was pulling her towards the dungeon. However... Something was bothering her. She looks around cautiously, musing her worries out loud.]

... Strange. I'm not sensing anything at all... I'm getting nervous...

[Syd... Syd has no clue what's going on, and she doesn't like this situation at all, but she doesn't like that Madoka's by herself. There's safety in numbers.]

Hey, are you okay?

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

[Haruhi wandered in, her crowbar on her shoulder.]

Now what do we have here...

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

[Ingrid's walking around nearby, fiddling with a small handgun. She overhears Haruhi and sighs.]

I'm wondering the same thing, my dear.

[ Drawn to this place while she was hidden away in her hotel room left her with little chance to change, the dread far too overwhelming to ignore. She's walking up towards the building in question while adjusting a gauntlet in her true armor. The breastplate may no longer be enchanted, but it will serve as suitable protection - thus the purpose behind her bringing it.

The sword she carries is a stark contrast to the regale of her armor, the same basic katana she has had from the beginning. Unimpressive in comparison to the rest of the way she carries herself.

The other notable feature? Her hair is braided and finished off with a ribbon, instead of the usual ponytail she wore. Pausing, she looks around for the usual others she associates with. ]

[ Garviel is there, as stoic as ever, with a pistol and gladius held in his hands. He's not wearing armor, just a serviceable shirt and pants. He says nothing about the armor Saber is wearing, but does raise an eyebrow. After that, he begins to say a few pre-battle words, as is the wont of any Astartes worthy of the name.]

With bolter and blade, we'll defy them! It is time to cast these monsters back to the depths of darkness from whence they came!

[ He brandishes the Gladius in a salute to Saber, grey eyes blazing with the faith and fire of a warrior born. ]

The Fight

[velvetbosses.livejournal.com]

The shadows are on the attack! What do?

Once characters start commenting, this journal will be used to play out the shadows they are fighting.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ This was the role of the King of Knights. Even without those faithful to her through blood and blade, the fight must be carried out. With the lack of her trusted blade (or even the ceremonial one she fancies), there's a lingering distrust in her own ability to go on the offense.

Regardless, it was better her than any of the others.

♪♪♪

The warrior instinct in her knows that in order to draw the attention away from the others, their enemy will need a single target to focus on. Yet, the commander instinct she held reminds her that approaching a target that's stationary is no good. It remains that way for a purpose. There is little need to draw this out anymore: Saber sprints across the ground with haste, her small frame surprisingly quick with the metal armor she adorns herself with. Leaping off of a box (smashing it underneath her greaves) she spirals through the air straight for The Hermit.

Bitches know all about those Nasugirls and their ability to be hax without power levels ]

[velvetbosses.livejournal.com]

[ One of the Noble seekers moves to intercept, physically floating up to interpose itself between Saber and the Hermit, and a burst of lighting hurls from the sky, slamming into her as it uses a Zio spell. Saber is momentarily shocked, the energy arcing around her armor and burning her clothes lightly. Not down... but her flight will now carry her into a mass of the Noble Seekers, that crowd around her, but strangely do not take any physical action beyond blocking her to their master. It would seem their sorcerous potency is enough. ]

(Some OOC explanation. The critters will be breaking you into groups of 3, as you move in by this herding method you've seen demonstrated on Saber. Beyond that, tag as you please, and cross-tag with comments on the cell phone between groups.)

Those who want into her group, come

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

[Ingrid rushes outside after the creatures, but she hangs closer to the back of the crowd. As tempermental as she may be, age had taught her to assess a threat before jumping in. With so many children running about, she couldn't afford to do this blindly.]

Don't do anything rash, you lot.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ Garviel laughs, hammering off a shot from his pistol towards one of the nearby Noble seekers. ]

I'm letting Saber take care of the rash part for the moment, I think.

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

[Tatsuma takes up his usual stance, left arm held in front of him. He's hanging back, close to Ishtar with the intent of keeping her from harm. However, he will move on to the offensive if he must.]

[velvetbosses.livejournal.com]

[ The seekers square off with you, but they haven't attacked yet. What do, Ishtar and Tatsuma? ]

[totally_blue]

[This was totally madness, Kaito saw the large size of Shadow rushed out from the building, and went to nowhere from his sight. But it didn't take too long after that, more new type of Shadows appeared. He could predict their attack were just begun, and he unsheathed his dagger to defend himself, or attack if necessary.]

[babel_hacker]

[Atsuro's been smacking at the Shadows that came close to him, giving himself some space. At times, he'd be forced to defend himself or cover for everyone else nearby.]

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

[Madoka tries her best to avoid the fray, so that she can concentrate on supporting the teams with her ever-so-useful information.]

I can't pinpoint the big one's weaknesses until we take care of the ones guarding it! Please be careful!

oh so very late

[witchless.livejournal.com]

[Homura's just right next to Madoka to make drive off any monsters that might come near.]

Post Fight

[velvetbosses.livejournal.com]

The battle had been won. Tend to the injured and discuss what happened.

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

[As the support unit, Madoka just has to indicate their collective victory by saying something completely obvious:]

I don't sense anymore Shadows... I think we've won. Great job, everyone! Are you all doing okay?

[babel_hacker]

[He's tired from the battle, but Atsuro just smile and wave at Madoka.]

I'm doing alright, Madoka! Just a bit tired.
