Active [???- Widersia?] Into the tunnel against the Trumpet!: Creator’s trials III

[heartspan]

" I really wasn't worried about you ditching anyone." He replied in an affable tone as he shot Demeter a friendly smile " I was more worried that you'd get attacked or kidnapped or something like that."

When they finally reached the other side he kept an eye out for trouble as he listened to Keircey and Roy banter back and forth. He still felt that they shouldn't be playing along with Roy's bullshit, but if the entire complex was trapped up he supposed they really didn't have any other choice, after all even Keircey's very programming was probably tampered with. Asahi took that moment to look at the robot Keircey. It was just like an anime he thought, as he realized the extent of these robot's self awareness. This being's existence was no big shock. Asahi had seen many strange things already, but this similarity with some of his favorite anime kind of formed a warm spot for the kid who gave him a mild slap only a bit ago. Although, he felt Keircey should work on his interpersonal skills a bit after he gained his freedom. He even made a mental note to mention this to the boy once all was said and done. It was the least he could do really.

When the owls returned he made sure to stay quiet as they reported to their master. He even stayed quiet as everyone began sharing their talents. He didn't really want to let Roy know what he was capable of but he also felt that their ability to strategize was really important. Therefore he settled for the mid ground, only sharing that which would be helpful for the group to know. Waiting until after moo finished speaking he jumped in.

" I can do some healing magic." He offered. " and I can also use the sword."

TRAVERSING SOMEWHERE

Lauren listened carefully as the others slowly started opening up about their strengths, taking mental notes on what role they'd likely play in the fight to come. In particular however were the strengths Demeter claimed to possess. Seeing in the dark and through solid walls was useful in of itself, but being able to cast magic without any form of incantation or gesture in tandem with her unique vision... That's a level of power that could potentially rival her nemesis if she played her cards right. I need someone as dependable as her in my circle, maybe she'd be willing to lend a hand in taking it to the grave? Lauren's thoughts echoed in her head as she gradually worked out how their plan against their current foe would play out, looking up to Demeter as she seemed to come up with a plan.
"Oh. Do tell." Lauren curiously responded as she listened closely. As the dryad laid out the plan to her the expression she wore changed, shifting from shock into contemplation as the plan gradually sunk into her head. It was calculated, deliberately calibrated for the highest chance of success.

It was absolutely devious, yet a slight chuckle followed the smirk that crept upon her face.

"Oh I really like how you think, I can already tell that we'll get along great." Lauren complimented Demeter before revising the plan, focused around ending the fight quickly. "Okay everyone, here's the plan. I'll send my owl companions in to distract the enemy ahead while Demeter waits for a golden opportunity to strike. If all goes well, we can waltz on past to the next puzzle. If the initial strike fails to end it, Moo and Kenzo will rush in to restrain him while I accompany them to provide defense. And once he's pinned down one of us can go in for the kill. As for everyone else, someone should stick behind to stand guard and provide defense for Demeter. If anyone has anything else to add, not would be a good time to say your piece." She finished as she looked around to the others, then to Faro before finding something else to add. "Faro, stick by Demeter's side until the fight is over. The rest of us should have this covered."
"O-okay, sure..." Faro agreed in a low voice, watching as Lauren and the others would get into position to strike.

Once everyone was all set for the fight ahead, Lauren issued her command to the owls.

"I mean a brain is nothing more than an organic computer, the only difference from what is in our head and in yours is the fact ours is organic and we can't reprogram it at least not easily, without really invasive methods involving electrocution." Yufi said not really looking at Keircey, just pointing once at her own head with her thumb and at Keircey's with a finger.

"Roy, people have names. I prefer to be called by it, so I keep on calling you by your name. Unless you wish to be called a different name, I will continue calling you as such. You might think you were not born into this world, but even I think you are born one way or another. You just choose not to believe it. Being born naturally is something only someone who believes they were not born normally into this world could think. Sure, Diago might have made your body, and your base program, but that's the same thing that parents do with their children, just in an organic kind of way." She responds to Roy's rant with her own little rant.

"Thanks, Roy, for calling me by my name. But by what you just said, I can guess it is Roze Trifecta people, which I did expect. But by you saying it like that, it means whoever came is someone I will really not like meeting... Uggh." Yufi said, visibly grunting at just the thought of who could possibly be in there, that Roy even warned her of them being there. To her mind, only came the leaders of the Trifecta came, and she just hoped she was incorrect.

"I am mainly what you could call an assassin in terms of skills. I can also heal a bit, do some sparks of electricity, also sense the presence of living beings. Don't know how that will help."
She replied to Demeter's ask to share ones abilities with her.

Demeter
​

Demeter smirked as she saw Lauren's reaction.

Looks like they were on the same page. The entire group was, really. Kenzo and Moo were eager to support whatever plan the team came up with. Yufi and Asahi had healing to keep the team in tip-top shape. And, given that this was all for his sake, the young fae had a feeling that Kiercey was ready to lend a hand in dealing with the foe up ahead.

Before she could even say a word to the others, Lauren gathered their attention and explained the plan. For a brief moment there, Demeter looked as though she were about to interject. But, as she heard Lauren's thorough explanation, she kept silent and turned her attention towards the next room. There was nothing she felt she needed to add. So, with everyone onboard for the plan and the group's abilities commonly known, there was nothing left to do but get started.

Demeter would watch as the owls flew overhead.

She would watch as they rounded the corner and approached the man with the eyepatch.

She would watch them squawk at him and flare their talons out. And just as their cries filled the room and their claws shot out at him to draw his attention, Demeter would strike. With nary a word nor suspicious gesture, her spell would take root just behind the bearded man. Jagged spikes of root would erupt from the earth, rocket towards him, and seek to impale the man's torso from behind; delivering poison into his veins if they successfully pierced his flesh. The young fae would watch the outcome of their opening move from her current position to see what became of him.

She and her team were ready for whatever followed.

Spoiler

Actions (2/3):
1&2) Cast [Root Eruption: Obscure Germination] to watch the bearded man from her current position, then launch an attack right after Lauren's Owls began their distraction to impale the bearded man from behind, poison him, and combo with their assault. Spell originates just behind the man and selectively targets only him.
​

Root Eruption: Obscure Germination- Magic E, Componentless Magic E, Energized E, Magic School E, Super Sense [X-Ray Vision] E (1), Perception E, Feature [Darkvision], Deflect (1) E, Indirect E, Blight [Bludgeoning] E, Continuous E, Incurable E, Magic AOE F, Selective Magic F, Magic Range [Metamagic] E- Demeter first uses her enhanced senses to gaze into the distance, through physical barriers, and locate concealed targets before summoning roots at or near their position to poison and skewer them.- 2 actions- 100ft range- 100ft sensory range- 15ft AOE- 1 post duration- Grade E- 0 post cooldown.

Int A (6) + Ability E (2) + Natural Catalyst B (5) + Deflect E (2)* = 13(15)* Effectiveness.

Combo (Owls) + 5= 18(20)* Effectiveness.

“Not wanting to share knowledge of your skills is something I’d understand…if we were in an area that didn’t have virtual bugs or a bug over the intercom. But I’m grateful for the trust despite the shortcomings.” Keircey told Demeter.

There was a huff over the intercom but Keircey ignored it. There were more pressing matters at hand. Then Kenzo casually reminded him of the fact that there was a cave-in. Keircey couldn’t imagine boded well with any of the enemies involved. Keircey wondered if it was enough to cause tension, though he was not qualified for that conclusion. He did not know a lot about the Roze Trifecta despite the clear partnership Diago had with them. Keircey told Kenzo.

“Want me to tell you what to do? Try not to die.”

Was ‘Die’ the term? If it was or wasn’t, Keircey still didn’t like the idea of finding another organic beaten into the ground and covered in copious amounts of red oil. After listening, Keircey exchanged his skills.

“I am a magic user who specializes in electric magic. I am by no means a professional but I do know how to attack with electrified mana.”

Demeter’s Clairvoyance would lead her to see Graham, though the spell that followed her clairvoyance hit her target the dryad would watch as her roots only hit the blade and all it took was a few simple movements. The length of the vine would go limp as it didn’t tie to the target, as it seemed he had some sort of special sense. Then the spell timer ticked away and the roots faded.

“That’s not a good sign…. Moo! Kenzo! Time for Lauren’s plan B. Asahi and Yufi please go with Kenzo and Moo to make it more difficult for them to get cut down. I will try to aid from the distance and defend Demeter as best as I can.”

Spoiler: Credits (?)

Megi is the one who gave me the image for Graham. I do not know where he found it to give proper credits I’m afraid.

“C’mon. C’mon. Hiding is a bit rude! We aren’t children playing hide and seek. “ Graham stated particularly loudly.

Just before Demeter’s spell would fade completely the last thing she would notice or see was Graham being on the defensive. Keircey held his hands up. Thinking of a spell, or two..or three. Meanwhile, a thought that hadn’t yet occured was Lauren’s owls that seemed to go MIA. It was up to handle this conflict now that he knew they were there. In the background the sounds of Lorelai’s trumpet got more aggressive elsewhere in the tunnel. Albeit there was the sound of arguing so perhaps they were occupied.

Spoiler: Combat 101! #1

Greetings, Dark here! Since advanced rules are in effect and not everyone knows them here I am playing the role of teacher once more. Lets go over the basics.

Cooldowns:
The stronger the grade the higher the cooldown. This is to prevent spamming of your strongest abilities. Here is the cool down table:
F = 0 post cool down. (Note unless character has THE ENERGIZED SKILL this grade for skills and abilities can only be used one per post)
E = 1 post cool down
D = 2 post cool down
C = 3 post cooldown
B = 4 post cool down
A = 5 post cool down.

grades function as slots. So if you use one D grade ability. You CAN NOT use any more abilities of that grade until cool down ends.

Effectiveness:
Effectiveness plays a crucial role in how strong an ability is, using this formula.
Grade of weapon + grade of stat assiocated with weapon + grade of ability.

Here’s the effectiveness table…
F = 1
E = 2
D = 3
C = 4
B = 5
A = 6

Combine the numbers from the previously mentioned formula, and boom! There’s your total tally of effectiveness. However certain skills may provide more edges and advantages.

HP:
HP is your health points. It determines how much you have and if you run out you get knocked out (as a alternative because like most normal rps death is NOT BY ANY MEANS enabled. It is disabled I am not that cruel.)

Here is how hp gets determined.

Without armor, it relies on character grade. (Character grade is determined per 35 points invested in a stat).
F character grade = 1 hp
E character grade = 2 hp
D character grade = 3 hp
C character grade = 4 hp
B character grade = 5 hp
A character grade = 6 hp.

Likewise Heavy armor is determined by Vitality stat. While Light armor is determined by speed.

And last but not least:

Characters have THREE ACTIONS to make do with in one combat post. And players may only post once per round while combat is engaged.

Demeter
​

Clang!

Demeter's eyes widened a bit as she watched the one-armed man turn and block her spear of root as though he had precognition.

"Wow..." she replied with no small amount of newfound respect, "Alright, this guy's pretty good."

Sneak attacks clearly weren't going to work on this guy, so it was time for the direct approach involving the rest of the team. Honestly, Kiercey had already said it best. Demeter raised her hands as she prepared her next spell; keeping an eye on the enemy and their surroundings the entire time.

"Plan B it is."

The Dryad would clap her hands together and shuffle her entire team's positions in an instant to give them a jumpstart on their opening move for a proper battle. In a plume of pink petals, Yufi, Kenzo and Moo would appear right next to Graham; each on a different side. With no need to waste any energy on their approach, they could devote all of their strength to pure offense. Asashi and Keircey would also find themselves warped into a more ideal locations where they could freely cast their spells without concern for movement nor focus.

Demeter would position herself at G2, letting the thick stone walls provide her with cover to aid in her defense, and launch another spear of root at Graham's throat to join in on the assault.

KEIRCEY
INTERACTIONS: Gwen_Temi

NOTE!: THIS IS NOT A NARRATOR POST. JUST A CHARACTER ONE.

Keircey took advantage of Demeter’s spell—briefly wondering if he should learn teleportation. He pocketed
that thought as the idea could wait until he achieved his freedom. Keircey would be teleported to G4, so he would have a clear opening for his spells. Keircey sung quietly to himself with a hum. Made a few waves of his hands before making a finger gun wih his left releasing a very powerful [Electric Surge B]. The spell was knew so Keircey did shake his hand a little bit. Continuing he combined his attacks with [Shockwave [C] and [Electric charge [D]

CODE BY SEROBLISS

MOO

Moo had that long lasting smile she always showed everyone. But that bright grin turned into a small curve of her lips as she saw the first movements go into action. It seemed their opponent was a bit tougher than they thought, which meant Moo and her two offensive comrades were to spring into action directly. Pink petals covered her instantly, a light breeze and a nice smell enveloped the muscle woman before her reality changed. She laned with the enemy in front of her. This man didn't seemed bothered by the fact that he was now facing multiple enemies at once. That was never a good sign but it meant a real challenge! Moo was always open to one. She didn't know why, but with the white hair girl and her new friend, she felt confident.

"Aite less do dizz!" Moo looked up locked eyes with their opponent. The sword looked like a threat but she was not about to back down from some shiny weapon. Not when she had her team backing her up and the need for combat running up her veins. Moo took in a deep breath, feeling her muscles tense up while she raised her fists in front of her. She took her Stance and then a grin spread across her face.

Moo raised her right foot well above her head and brought it down with a force powerful enough to send a Shockwave through the ground towards the enemy. It seemed she wasn't the only one springing into actions as some electrical energy emerged from behind. Moo then follow up with a Right swing of her fist, aiming to keep the enemy busy from reacting. To finish things up, she retreated her arms over her face, Ruarding for whatever was to come next. Her eyes on the electrical circles, giving her a bit of relief they weren't there to harm her.
