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.

[ The flame takes her by surprise only due to unpleasant memories associated with it, staggering back slightly. It barely passes by, having enough instinct to get by, but her face does break out into sweat instantaneously due to the intense heat. With some distance between her and the inferno, this warrior takes a moment to recollect herself, a brief respite in the midst of combat.

Then she goes in again, blade out, with the full intent to kill. ]

[ The seeker shrieks when Saber strikes squashing in on itself and dissipating into black mist. But two more bar her path, lightning crackling between them, obviously preparing to blast her again. ]

[ There isn't a hint of fear in her eyes as she sprints at them, thinking herself to be quick enough to strike at them before they fire. ]

[ Another is indeed struck, reeling back and leaking black mist, but the third blasts her with another roaring lightning bolt, the energy enough to leave chars all over her body. She can feel a lot of pain, now, and that metal breastplate was nicely conductive. ]

[ This is why we don't wear metal in such a vulnerable spot, kids. Paralyzed momentarily, Saber spends the next few seconds trying to not reel over in pain. She didn't become the King of Knights in her mortal body by falling over due to a little pain, however, and so she manages to still stand.

Not without an obligatory curse murmured under her breath. ]

... Been too long since I have fought like this. [ Funny how she always thought otherwise.

That it wasn't so long ago that she was alive. Well, at least it was down to just one and herself, so she saw no need to quit just yet. That and I don't think Saber knows the meaning of the word QUIT. ]

After this, I must acquire a better-suited blade. [ A comment to herself, maybe an incentive to keep her going as she leaps up into the air to close the distance, not wanting to place anymore pressure on her feet until she's secured a spot to rest. Holding the blade, her intent was simple - drive it through her foe from above. ]

[ This one blasts her with Agi as she closes, and she passes through the fire and the flames, cleaving it.... but the agony this time is enough to most likely cause her to drop to one knee. Her form is terribly mauled, at least magically. ]

[Guess who has be secretly trailing the King of Knights this entire time? He knew she would attempt going alone, because that is exactly the same thing he would do. But if their previous encounter was any indication, she obviously wasn't ready for this type of challenge. ...He wasn't exactly ready either, but he refuses to let some stupid monster kill his woman.

The Noble Seeker that was in the process of attacking Saber will find a stop sign suddenly being swung towards it.]

Hey, just who the hell do you think you are? That woman is my mine. Only I'm allowed to cause her any harm.

[Of course, it wasn't actually his intent to kill it. Yet. He merely needed to distract it long enough to run in and throw Saber over his shoulder before attempting to escape with her.]

[ Oh.
Hell.
Naw.

Well, normally she would be 110% against this but since she's in a lot of pain and in potential danger, her body slumps against his. There will be plenty of time to redeem her honor, taking this brief respite to regain her senses. ]
