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.

[totally_blue]

Kaito waved at him and glanced at the building where they fought before. "Atsuro-san, can you feel it? It's much stronger than before." He clutched tight on his dagger. The pressure was too strong, which he almost sucked into the building.

[babel_hacker]

He nodded, looking at the building where that strange dungeon was. "Yeah, I can feel like. Whatever it's from, it's clearly strong."

Atsuro paused for brief moment, holding his metal pipe tightly. "And wants us inside, I'm guessing."

[totally_blue]

Kaito turned to Atsuro then back to the building. "If they want us in, then we'll take it." Thankfully, he did learn something from his boss, and that is self confidence.

Slowly, he walked nearby the entrance, hopefully those Shadows aren't strong as he thought.

[ 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.]

[Tatsuma is similarly drawn to the dungeon, looking... more or less blank. He knows something is off, but he's not entirely sure what, so he's letting his feet take him where they will for now. When he spots the others, he gives a nod of acknowledgment.]

Ah, gentlemen. It would appear there's something amiss in the business ward. I suggest we investigate, and network our vox-casters as we did last time. [ His heavy tread is determined, as he rolls up on the dungeon proper. ]

[ Looks like Ishtar spotted two familiar face and one not so familiar but she rushed off to greet the three of them anyway with a somewhat small smile on her face... She couldn't shrug off the strange feeling she was getting and slowly and gradually she was getting used to this sort of feeling. She actually had a decent sword tied around her belt loop. ]

[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...

o/?

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

[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?

[babel_hacker]

[He notice Madoka, and got worried. Even with her power, she can't defend herself at the moment. Or so Atsuro thought.]

Madoka? You're not getting any reading?

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

[Madoka's Persona had sensed human presences, but she was still startled all the same. She gasps and turns to the source of the voice, but relaxes when she sees that it's just Atsuro and some other girl.]

Oh, um... yes, I'm all right. I've gotten used to this, somewhat...

[As for Atsuro's question, Madoka nods with a frown.]

It's very strange, Kihara-kun. I don't know if they're just too far away, but so far I haven't sensed anything of "them" wandering the streets...

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't want to just leave them, but they seem to know what they're doing and she doesn't want to slow them down. DILEMMA]

Wait. Pause. Hold on. Are you talking about... [What did that guy call them] Shadows?

[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.

Ultimate teamup? XD

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

[This lady was new. Haruhi hadn't seen much older folk around town before.]

You sure you should be here lady? There's dangerous stuff around town. You should leave it to the professionals.

Heck yeah

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

[Ingrid scoffs.]

Young lady, check your manners. I've been dealing with things more dangerous than this since before your parents were born.

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

[She did not just go there.]

Hey! The SOS Brigade has been investigating this monster stuff around town for a few weeks now! We have a great track record with weird events like this [or so she'd like to think they did] and we can take care of it!

Shouldn't you be home knitting or something?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ 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. ]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ A simple nod to acknowledge the gladius and his salute, before she turns to thoroughly inspect the others that have shown up. ]

Sir Garviel, you must stay with the others to watch over them. [ A bold statement to leave him with little impression to argue otherwise. ] Tonight I fight alone.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

You have my oath, Saber. [ he will reach out to firmly grasp her shoulder in a warrior's salute, and looks directly into her eyes. ]

I will gift you with the words of my former Legion, before you fight. Kill for the Living, and Kill for the Dead, Saber. Sheath your blade with honor, and we will meet again before our sojourn here is done.

[ He turns to everyone else, yelling. ] And thus our champion goes before us to fight! Uphold Saber's example and slay these foes with a heavy hand, and fierce spirit!
