Morgenstern

Chaos abound. Awash in a sea of crimson, the players dropped like meteors down to the floor below. For the most part, they had been caught unawares. Caught in the current of the crashing waters, the Players were on a collision course straight for the floor below. If the Fall Damage didn't kill them, they would fall upon the swords of the army of enemies that awaited them at the end of their ascent. Honestly, the Fall Damage alone would be enough to kill the lot of them. 
"You seeing this?" A fiery-haired male dressed in a yukata watched from the precipice of the gash that had been carved into the area that used to be the Lake of Reflections. Opposite the man on the complete other edge of the gorge, a tall man - cerulean hair flowing in the wind - gazed down at the Players surging head-long to their deaths. He crossed his arms and huffed. "Unfortunately." 
"Should we do something?"
"Probably."
"Any ideas?"
"A few."
"You plan on saying more than a few words at a time?"
"Nope."
Betelguese groaned loudly as Rigel raised his hand. Azure light flowed freely from the Star's hand. As his power flowed down into the gorge, the Players would feel their momentum slowing steadily. Eventually, they came to rest safe and sound upon the ground. Though, that was rather arguable given the army that was baring down upon them. Betelguese then raised his hand, his magic erecting a radiant red barrier around the players. A temporary measure. Protection until the Players could get their feet under themselves and their equipment readied.

Players are blessed with the combined powers of Betelguese and Rigel. [Gain +3 DMG, +2 ACC, +2 EVA, 15*Tier Mitigation]
Preparation phase will last 72 hours. This Encounter is locked to Tier 1 Players only. Any Players that fail to join the fight before September 4, 1:00 AM EST will be barred from participating.

* This Event is based off of the Tanabata tradition in Japan
The Star Festival had begun! People came to Floor 22 from all walks of life. Merchants, Frontliners, NPC's and Players alike came to see the Star-Crossed Lovers meet in the middle of the bridge. Everything had been going according to plan, and the festivities had been productive. Laughs could be heard from miles as people enjoyed the festivities. However, all of this ended when the first rain drop was felt. Out in the ocean, something was emerging from the waters, and it didn't look happy. Soon the rain fell, and the NPC's started to scream and head inland. The closer the creatures came to the land, the harder the rain pelted, and winds picked up. The bridge above the water soon disappeared from view, and the two lovers in the sky, easily visible from where the players stood, reached out in longing towards one another. If the players wanted to see the beauty of love, they would have to fight to defeat whatever brought the rain
Emerging from the waters is a large horde of what seemed to be minions compared to the other creatures. While they seemed weak, they had a large amount of numbers, enough to be called a small swarm of these underwater creatures. The lowest leveled players were able to take these ones on, but they needed to be careful, as while they were weak alone, in numbers they could swarm easily. Players would have to group up to take these on, but did they have the strength to defeat all of them?
T1 players have 72 hours to reply to this thread to be included in the boss fight. After 72 hours, the Event boss will begin.
All participants must list their stats, equipment, battle-ready inventory, skills, buffs, and consumed items in their post.
