[ 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.

[ 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.
