[It really isn't Mikazuki's day today, apparently. Claude succeeds in kicking at his legs and then lopping off his head. Yikes! You think about how Claude stole Mikazuki's boyfriend and then murdered him in cold blood? Wow.
Tsuru succeeds at stabbing the nearest corpse through the chest, its face flickering into that of Ookurikara's. Dead(er than before), it falls onto him, sending both of them tumbling to the ground. Meanwhile, Mikazuki's head that Claude sliced off? It rolls by Tsuru, stopping in what would be eye contact with Tsuru if Tsuru looks to the side from where he's on the floor and if the head were, you know. Alive.
Marie shoots, but the corpse holds up its arm, the bullet lodging itself in there. Much like Mikazuki and the others, it appears to feel no pain, as it continues to reach out until again, it attempts to strangle Marie.
Molly blasts ice into Crow's face, cold particles freezing onto the man. This seems to momentarily startle him, before he jumps back, energy gathering around him. In the meantime, the third corpse that had meant to go after Tsuru and Crow instead attempts to tackle Molly to the ground.
Meanwhile, Annie, apparently having lost interest in Tsuru, turns her attention to Claude. That sword he's holding is such an annoyance, really—as an invisible force yanks it out of his hands.]
[ Funny, that Claude's just in the process of reminding Molly what's important when he suddenly finds himself face to face with Annie, monstrous but still recognizable. He can't stop himself from hesitating, the sword flying from his grasp and to the opposite end of the room.
Luckily, Mikazuki's sword is still lodged somewhere non-lethal in his chest, so he grabs that next, wincing as he pulls it out, unleashing another stream of blood. ]
I'll focus on Annie.
[ Hopefully Tsuru doesn't run over to enact revenge. He's a little lightheaded from the blood loss at this point, so he doesn't really think before charging at her with the blade drawn (5), unable to think of anything else. ]
[ very funny that molly is yelling about not killing harrow and then two seconds later claude kills jiji.
he stares at the decapitated head for a moment, his expression shifting into something resigned, before he moves. he pushes the body of the corpse off of him and jumps to his feet. tsuru is bleeding from so many places but he ignores it, swiping at his face again to get rid of blood getting into his line of vision.
he should probably go after harrow, but... he switches his focus and runs to marie first, and will make an attempt at impaling the corpse. stop strangling their women representation. ]
[ This team is literally so insane. Just kill the people that you care about! Stop hesitating! It's better to kill them then to have someone else do it, obviously -- which is what she's contemplating before a corpse is over here strangling her now.
[ After losing half a horn, he's actually paying attention to his surroundings now, so he's trying to dodge out of the way of the corpse (16) and aim a harsh kick at Crow's knee to send him to the ground. (... 3.) ]
[Claude charges at Annie, which is very brave of him. Unfortunately, with a flick of her hand, Annie sends an invisible blast at Claude, strong enough to send him flying across the room and crashing into the wall.
Tsuru impales the corpse right through, as it lets go of Marie and drops dead(er) to the ground.
Harrow... moves further into a corner of the room, because she is a squishy necromancer.
That was an extremely pitiful kick Molly did, but I also rolled a 3 for Crow's response, so. I GUESS IT SORT OF WORKS? Crow stumbles back as he dodges, at least, as he unleashes his attack at all of his enemies in the room, I refuse to try and describe JRPG nonsense. The stumbling at least means that his saber misses Molly on the first throw, despite Molly being right in front of him, but otherwise I am leaving it all to you if you four get hit by this attack unless you wish for me to roll for it on my next mod tag.]
[ Claude hits the wall hard, his skull cracking against the stone, sending stars skittering across his eyes as his ears ring, momentarily deaf to the noise and chaos of the battle around him.
He manages to crawl back his knees eventually, having lost Mikazuki's sword at some point and finds that... he's in the Garreg Mach classroom. Instead of going charging back into the fight, he woozily knocks over the long desks as some kind of barricade, setting himself up behind them as he nocks two arrows on his bow and aims for.
Harrow (14, 2). ]
Edited (i lied about my roll...) 2022-06-29 00:04 (UTC)
[ wow. well he is going to help marie up, at least, before looking around for... okay claude is shooting (and missing going by the 2) harrow, so he's going to focus his attention on the other problem. ]
I'm going after that one. Shoot whoever seems like they might be more of a problem, okay?
[ be free, marie
tsuru is just going to run towards annie. if he reaches her without being sent flying, he will make an attempt at slashing her down the front. ]
[ Wicked pushes the dead(er) corpse off of herself, taking Tsuru's hand -- just to brush it off. She's getting up slowly, catching her breath, throat feeling sore after having been strangled; teeth gritting before she nods her head. A silent agreement before he goes off to do... whatever he can against Annie!
And she's made her annoyance of Harrow's necromancy evident and so that's who she's aiming for. Time to roll over and team up with Claude by firing a shot at Harrow (5). ]
[ Molly who is now steadfastly ignoring how many people are shooting (badly) at Fake-Harrow, and instead is picking himself up from where he got slammed backwards from whatever JPRG nonsense just happened, whatever pathetic tourniquet he managed for his arm now totally undone and is launching himself again at Crow - this time with a bit more gusto behind it (18). Trying to drive his sword into Crow's shoulder, at least to get him to drop the saber. ]
[While one of Claude's arrow misses, the other strikes Harrow in the gut. Because of this, despite Marie's questionable accuracy in this case, her shot manages to hit Harrow in the leg. She collapses, dying though not quite dead yet. Still, she struggles to get back up, something frantic in her efforts.
Molly succeeds in stabbing Crow in the shoulder, getting him to drop the saber. Crow's not quite down, however, as he launches a kick towards Molly's gut in an attempt to send him backwards.
Annie, meanwhile, is doing much better as she rolls a nat 20. She truly is the most OP here. Dang. Once more, Tsuru will find himself being raised in the air before he can reach her—and then sent flying at Molly to get him away from Crow. Tsuru-Molly crash........2!
—And one more thing.
Words flash before their eyes, as if there were an interface before them.]
REMAINING TIME: XX:XX
[They'll see the minutes counting down. They're reaching their time limit, so they must make their choice—not right now, but soon. If they're still here in this labyrinth when time runs out, they will die. Do they Escape in order to survive, even if it means condemning everyone swallowed up the labyrinth and leaving their friends here as monsters of sorts? (Of course, it may be that none of it real... but is it all truly fake, either?) Or, will they try to fight to the end? Mikazuki has been defeated, but Harrow, Crow, and Annie must be killed for this labyrinth to disappear.
OOCly, you have 2-3 more tag rounds! So two more mod tags, and then time is up at the start of the third mod tag. Your characters must have succeeded in killing the remaining bosses in/by the second mod tag, or they must have activated their Escape spell by the third mod tag! (Or, like, die.)]
Claude hates pretty much all of this, but leaving Marie to hopefully finish off Harrow, he turns his attention to Annie, given the way she's absolutely destroying them.
So while she's busy throwing Tsuru around, Claude rushes forward with the desk, trying to use it to pin her against the wall to make her easier to attack (11).
And because he's too close now to fire at her, he just, stabs her with an arrow (11). ]
tsuru is thrown at molly, but with an 18 roll, he manages to twist himself so that he misses him. i will never roll higher than this and it was just a dodge for something non-lethal.
but he'll scramble back to his feet and... who is closest. crow? tsuru is hoping that claude can take care annie, so he's going to redirect his attention to this guy. he moves to close the distance to to try to stab crow through the gut. ]
[ Apparently Wicked is really good at calming down girls but unfortunately she’s having a tough time. I don’t think breaking up with Annie is going to be enough.
While Harrow struggles to get herself upright Wicked runs forward, pulling back her hand and straight up just… pistol whipping her (19) across the face, before taking advantage of the closeness and firing (5) again. ]
[ AITA: My (23m) gf (IDKf) is trying to kill me in a labyrinth, so I want to break up with her by shooting her in the face
Molly is steadfastly ignoring any potential trauma here and focusing his efforts on Crow as well, since that guy was being a REAL ASSHOLE to him. If Tsuru is going for the gut shot, Molly will try and sweep his leg to send him to the floor to be an easier target. ]
[Claude attempts to pin Annie against the wall, but she protects herself with that invisible force again, which Claude's arrow helplessly bounces off. HELP ANNIE KEEPS GETTING ALL THE GOOD ROLLS
Marie successfully whips Harrow across the face, allowing her to shoot Harrow dead despite the very questionable accuracy here otherwise. For a moment, Harrow's body twitches violently, corpses half-raised out of the ground and reaching for Marie's legs—then Harrow goes still, as the corpses drop back down.
Crow dodges Molly's attempt to sweep his legs, but the shoulder wound previously inflicted on him is enough of a distraction that he doesn't notice Tsuru, who manages to stab him right through the gut in what's clearly a fatal blow. He probably coughs blood up on Molly and Tsuru. Gross.
That's Mikazuki, Harrow, and Crow all dead/dying. Annie's the only one left now, standing between you and dispelling the labyrinth.]
Annie, you're making me feel really bad about bringing you here as one of the final bosses!
[ HE SHOULD'VE BEEN GAYER FOR NIER
But Annie apparently unstoppable, so Claude rolls off to the side to put some distance between them so that he can fire two arrows (4, 9) at her. Even though. Arrows are much easier to swat away than an entire desk but he's an archer, it's all he's got.
Luckily, before his turn ends, a spray of stardust explodes around them. ]
[ tsuru sees this memory, and for one second he lowers his sword. ]
I feel bad for her after watching that.
[ that was just painful.
but the second passes, and tsurumaru will rush over, aiming his sword at her neck. he is hoping at least one fucking person gets her there are four of them help. ]
[ Molly, covered in Crow blood, just nods along. ]
It’s kind of sweet, actually.
[ You guys are just haters. Anyway he’ll contribute to the hetereophobia and just launch himself at Annie too - can’t be throwing everyone around as a ghost if you’ve got a whole ass tiefling bullrushinf you. ]
[Annie blocks Claude's arrow, though that's arguably a blessing so he can live knowing he didn't stab the woman he's mildly het for.]
REMAINING TIME: 00:09
[Tsuru stabs well, but Annie—well, she would've blocked that, but she was really distracted by all of you being so Weird. Did she receive the memshare too? Mysteries that will remain for eternity. Anyway, the point is that she doesn't have time to use her powers, but she does try to dodge so that Tsuru's blade slashes her face instead.]
REMAINING TIME: 00:08
[Marie rolled a 19 for her first shot... but Annie also rolled a 19, and thus she blocks it, sending the bullet flying elsewhere. As Marie fires her second shot—]
REMAINING TIME: 00:07
[Molly attempts to launch himself at Annie, but I'm sorry, the 4 I rolled was for his success, so apparently he just goes soaring into the wall. Maybe Crow's blood got into his eyes.]
REMAINING TIME: 00:06
[However, Annie is also distracted by the tiefling bullrushing her and missing her that she doesn't notice Marie aiming again. By the time she does, it's too late—and Marie's nat 20 hits her right in the chest.]
REMAINING TIME: 00:05
[She coughs up not quite blood, but stardust. Who knows, maybe you all memshare awkwardly right now. Either way:]
REMAINING TIME: 00:04
[In one last-ditch effort to kill you all, she sends out an invisible wave, feeling as though something hard just rammed right into you. I couldn't think of a better way to phrase that. I hate this.]
REMAINING TIME: 00:03
[However, that's all she can do now. Thankfully, this Annie has lost some of her ghostly OPness, as she collapses to the ground.]
REMAINING TIME: 00:02
[With that, her corpse shatters into light, as do all of the others: Harrow's, Crow's, Mikazuki's.]
REMAINING TIME: 00:01
[Then, so do the rest of everyone's surroundings. The bits of home, the familiarity, whether for these bosses or for the four who defeated them—everything dissipates into nothing. All goes white in their vision, and they might feel as though they're disappearing.]
[Each of you awakens in the place you were previously, before the labyrinth swallowed it up. Your friends all rush to you and stare down at your collapse figure worriedly, because damn, are you banged up right now.
