[BR-F26] Paving the Way to Floor 27 [Gabrandr-The Broken King]


Recommended Posts

There was a lot of information to take in at the beginning of this battle. The boss was just a normal person with... cannons? He really should've attended that meeting. The boss threw some words into the air, but it was drowned out by the players who entered into the room first. As they finally got to enter, it was chaos. Players were all over the area, messing with the new toys found inside of the boss room. 

A voice called out to him, from the man in red himself. "We should draw hatred and hold. Just in case this thing has anything up its sleeve. The rest should work to figure out what these..."

A sigh filled the blonde's lungs. 'I could've figured that much out.' He thought to himself exasperatedly. 'Don't need a genius for that.' Unsheathing his weapon slowly, Morgenstern's eyes would glow gold as tendrils of electricty crackled into the air. His skill successfully locked on, and his eyes returned to their normal green hue. He had gathered the boss's attention, hopefully Mac wouldn't be taking it back immediately. He eyed the machines across the room. Perhaps his electric weapon would be able to short them? He doubted it would work. The Cannons didn't appear to run off electricity, but something the boss was working with himself.

The room was small and dimly lit as only a handful of torches lined the walls in the area that rested in front of the Boss room's door. A pungent odor filled the air, the same that had filled the long

Hidden was the last through the door into the boss room, opting to allow everyone else to move forward to remain in the back. Once inside, however; she quickly moved around the side of the circular boss room to get a good look at the situation. The boss was human, or at least it seemed that way. The closest thing to it thus far was the Elves but no way could the rai-.

"Parties 1 and 2 - Take defensive postures, or see about deactivating those devices! Like Orgoth, this may be an ally instead of an enemy."

'Fucking seriously? Again with this shit?" 

"These people aren't too be trusted. They'd quicker kill you then your common enemy. Remember that."

Shuddering, Hidden continued with what she did best. The boss was attempting to get the players to cease their efforts, but she saw the boss for what it was. It wasn't a human. It was an obstacle. Hidden was going to remove it. Silent as ever, she suddenly appeared behind the boss. Dagger in a reverse-grip and a look of pure contempt on her face as she drove the point into his neck. 

The attack was clean, knocking the man to the side with a nice red gash. Throwing herself back as normal to prevent counters, soulless eyes watched for the AI's reaction to the sudden damage. Even if the others were too much of pansies to attack, she wasn't.

Zandra followed the rest of the parties as the the big wooden door slowly opened. Up until now, she had been mostly in her own thougths, thinking about this and that. But now it was time to change the focus to something much, much more important. Her eyes darted back and forth across the room as she tried to see as many helpful details as she could in the short time before the boss would reveal him or herself. The biggest thing to draw her attention was the four big canons that they had talked about on the meeting, where two of them seemed to be activated and the other two not. Party 1 and 2 immediatly went into action. They headed to the two canons that seemed to be active and starting to fiddle with them. Zandra didnt knew if that was a good or bad idea, at least they shouldnt be doing it now before they knew what they was for. But she wasnt the squad leader so didnt really matter waht her thougths was anyway. She woke from her thoughts with a loud *clang* as blades met. ‘’So the fallen king is the ene…’’ she started before getting abrupted by a loud explosion as the canon fired.

So, time to act. With a deep *thud* Zandra planted the banner between two rocks. She had seen that party 1 and 2 had taken damage from the canons explosion, but it wasnt that bad, and she would easily overheal it. Worse thou was if there was any other debuffs or something that they couldnt see if the others was effected from or not. ‘’Guys, dont worry about that damage from the explosion, I will make you healthy enough. Lets stand steady and burst this Fallen king down!’’ she shouted out to her party members as a silver aura surronded all of them for a few seconds before it faded away.

one thing was for certain the moment she saw the parties move into action. and it wasn't from the players' movements, from her observation of their rush forward. rather, it was the sudden explosion that erupted from one of the cannons, that warm rush of air that managed to ruffle her locks backwards, made her wince and turn her head away, if only to look back once the light had faded from existence.

no. night was certain she was nigh unimpressed with the warnings the singular man had for their approach towards his setup. whatever it was, and whatever it involved.

she was liken to follow. pull out jack for a dive into the fray; one small slice upon skin, a nick on his cheek would've stopped the figure in its tracks, she bet. instead, noticing the boss' concerned expression and his scan across the room, night also grew aware of the fact that one of her statuses were missing.

so much for the approach she was used to. deadpanned and lifeless, she shambled over to the cannon that the merchant of fate was busy tending to -- when did she appear in combat, anyway? -- and gave the structure one lousy, half-hearted kick.

at least the sound effect from that ordeal remarked an action done in the system's approval. night basked in it, eyes closed, pretending not to take notice of the battle as it started... without her.

A frown took over her features as, what seemed to be the boss? gave the raid party what looked like a concerned warning. The glitter in the air certainly didn't help improve her mood as the 'king' seemed to command it and the scathers with a wave of his hand. She then took a better look at his attire and something clicked. She didn't get to present it at the meeting but based on the intel the Shirajishi-ryū gathered, she had an idea who the floor boss might be this time.

None the less, the moment the NPC attacked Shield and Raidou, she gritted her teeth then looked at the remainder of her team. "Giv'em hell!" she shouted and dashed forward. Baldur's call fell on deaf ears as soon as the fallen king's blade made contact with her friends's red armor. 
She would strike from behind, her katana piercing through the humanoid boss' shoulder. "I had a hunch we'd meet the Raven here." she said with a sly smile as she ended her sword art.

"I'd rather not do this either, show us the entrance towards the next floor and we'll be on our way. You can continue your revenge spiel after we're gone." she added, a bit mockingly as she circled her left index through the air.

It went much faster than anticipated, everything went into motion in a fell swoop right before his eyes. He was one of the first to arrive, but he was only one of many. The frontline’s raid parties had assembled in a pretty fast fashion and were now heading into the boss room. With the glimpse they had from defeating the labyrinth guardian, Macradon could only anticipate the worst in feats of smelliness and sewage that would rear its ugly head at the frontlines. “Active cannons, huh. Guess that’s what we’ll have to work with now.” he thought to himself and got into a battle stance and rushed into the boss room with everyone else.

As a figure appeared in between the frontlines and the cannons, Macradon lifted his hand up to his sword and drew the edgy sharp stick. His frozen aura began to emanate around him, covering him in a cold mist that left ice patches behind him as he walked on the floor. “That doesn’t really look like a boss … it doesn’t have that much health … apparently …” he mentioned to his party and tried to see what everyone else were doing.

Baldur was quick to react to what was given to the frontlines in the form of information, Macradon looked over and nodded, even if his nod wasn’t seen by the Gaijin Samurai, Macradon acknowledged Baldur’s overview of the raid and would take that with him, all the knight had to do was to follow orders and seize what opportunity he can give to his comrades.

The boss didn’t seem to have the strongest of will fighting off the frontlines, but who were they to judge, he had his reasons and they might collide with the frontline’s goals of freedom. He was but a machine programmed to act in a certain way. Macradon would shrug off the emotions of helping some broken dude that couldn’t explain his reasoning for having these cannons active. Macradon would do his best to also go into the initiative to deactivate whatever these cannons were, but before he could even get to them, everyone else had done their thing and deactivated the glow which only lead up to one conclusion for what this knight had to do. 

He stood up tall and went into a battle stance “I guess this is what I’m up for now.” he said and shook his body slightly while maintaining his stance, ready to engage as he ripped off a Charge straight into the boss. Just like the others that went all in on the boss, Macradon would do so as well. A quick burst of wind to exude as Macradon darted by and quickly cleaved through the king with a heavy swing, taking out a good chunk of health like the other DPS of his party, easily withering the health of the supposed boss.

Just as he finished his sword art the knight roared out "Let's show THIS FALLEN KING who's boss, we will not falter!" to @Morgenstern, hoping their memories would help them tank through this.

Time seemed to stop as the first Scather blew. The shockwave moved like ripples from a dropped stone, barreling into the unsuspecting Players. Though Lessa stood a short distance off, and her health bar showed no damage taken, the blast blew her hair back from her face. She let out a small squeak as a gasp caught in her throat, and it took a few seconds before she managed to inhale again. Sweat broke out across her brow, tiny beads slipping and sliding across her temples. Is this what being a Frontliner meant? Watching your comrades be blown up, and waiting for your turn? Her hands trembled inside her heavy gauntlets. The fight against the Hydra had been the worst thing Lessa had ever experienced. Would this be even worse?

The King lifted a single hand, and as the North Scather began to hum with power, Lessa’s chest tightened. “No,” she breathed, the one word lost to the cacophony of clunking armor and slashing weapons. The battle had begun once more, the Players seemingly recovered from the Scather’s explosion. But what if they again failed to deactivate the bombs? “Hey!” Lessa called above the noise, jabbing a finger toward the newly primed Scather. “We have to get that turned off. We can’t let another one burst! We can’t-” 

Her words died on her lips as a handful of Players fell upon the Scather, hurriedly working to turn it off. Most she did not recognize, but when NIGHT’s familiar form came into focus, Lessa heaved a sigh. At least one thing seemed to be going right. If the capable dark-haired beauty couldn’t figure it out, she figured no one could. As if to demonstrate, the color faded from the Scather once NIGHT had finished with it. 

My turn to step up. Inspired by NIGHT, and riding high on adrenaline, Lessa hefted her heavy sword over her shoulder. Though she lacked the speed and grace of a lighter build, she moved well beneath her plate armor, quickly closing the distance between herself and the Fallen King. Unfortunately, as she made to drop the blade across the man’s torso, he easily sidestepped her swing. The Guardian stumbled, literally and figuratively, the flicker of hope smothered by the botched attack.

Deadline for Groups 1 and 2 is set to 11:59 PM CST Tuesday, 11/23 

Even through force, many others didn't heed any of his warnings. While he was holding one half of the group, the other half pushed forward and began messing with the Scather he had reactivated. Why couldn't they just leave them alone? He needed them all to go off at the same time if he was going to be swift with his work. Instead, thanks to the previous burst of heat, much of ceiling above had grown unstable and threatened to fall down. As the first two began messing with his Scather he stepped forward to intervene but he was immediately intercepted. 

A dagger struck his rear, forcing him to stumble forward at the sudden attack. The pain from it, he felt it all. Her dagger sunk right through his unprotected body. He didn't get any time to recover before a katana sunk through his right shoulder. "AGH!" The king cried out, pulling away. Her words nearly fell on deaf ears. He couldn't understand what she meant by show her the entrance to the next floor. There was no floor, this was underneath the Palace. The only way out was whence they came. Another attack struck him, the force completely catching him off guard. The sound of plate armor caught his attention and he turned just in time to see a woman bringing down a greatsword upon him. Rolling to the left, he allowed her swing to miss and strike the stone ground beneath them. 

Breathing heavily, he stepped back and took a look at the situation. It was dire. His Northern Scather had not only been disabled, but dismantled. It was no longer ready for activation, the hollow opening fallen to the ground and no longer facing up. One of them had done something, and he was certain it was on of the girls in the beginning that had begun to mess with it. The Lords had taken a gamble sending these people to face him, and so far it was working. In just a few minutes, they had already begun to ruin the entire operation. He had tried convincing them, but it had failed. He was backed into the corner, with only one way left to go. Forward. 

Rubbing his injured shoulder, he looked at the players. His look at first, was filled with sorrow. Slowly, it became filled with a fire. "It seems that this would be fate." A heavy breath before he steeled himself. "I won't back down." Gabrandr stood tall, planting his sword firmly into the stone at his feet. "For the lives of all of my people living above the ground, their King shall light the way! It is up to me to win our freedom back!" The burden was heavy, but it was one that he would wear with pride. His people had suffered greatly since they lost their home. He would gladly sacrifice himself to ease that suffering. 

Grabbing the hilt of his blade with one hand, Gabrandr would close his eyes. A fleeting memory passed through his mind. The loving smile of a woman and the trill laughter of glee from a child. "For the family I've loved... and lost." The air was still for a moment before suddenly the rainbow mist in the air began rapidly churning and spinning around the room around one focal point. Gabrandr. Blue flame surrounded the man as he called on all of the power the Lords had given his family hundreds of years ago. 

"COME TO ME!" 

Embers of blue fire swirled suddenly into the air, surrounding Gabrandr until he became completely engulfed in it. He would stand there unmoving for a moment as the blue flame became even more intense. Suddenly, the flame burst out a couple of feet from the man and he no longer looked the same as he had before. In his place, was an eight-foot tall armored figure. The armor was cracked in various places, a blue flame rising into the air from them and becoming rainbow mist in the room. He now held a shield and his sword was far more hulking then before. The blue flame that had shot out from his body had now begun to take shape, becoming various different weapon types of pure energy. "There will be no hesitating". The voice seemed to come from all sides of the room, deep and filled with sorrow. He had a job to do and he if had to slaughter all of the people before him, then so be it. A few lives to be spared for the good of many. The Lords of Fate had made it to where he would fail. The only question was, did he have the power to change that fate? The text on his name flickered, changing entirely. The damage he had taken became healed and three more bars became added. 

He charged forward, his size not impeding his speed whatsoever. In fact, he was faster than he had been before. First targeting Lessa, she would be the first in the room to know the new power he was surging with now. Using the technique passed down from king to king, father to son, he would make his first move. A groan echoed across the room as he threw his hand forward. The weapons at his side suddenly turned horizontal before all rushing the woman. All making their marks, a blue fiery explosion would engulf the woman. Not wasting a second, Gabrandr was suddenly by her, a blade in each hand. A single stroke made in an X pattern would knock the woman back and onto the ground with its force. Gabrandr wouldn't hesitate a moment to look after the woman before suddenly turning on the blond that had caught his attention earlier. Merely a second passed and he was on him. A wave of his shield would throw the man's katana out of the way before several of the Fate's Armiger weapons struck him cleanly, only to be finished off with a strong blow that would through the man back. Turning back on the enemies, he stood ready for whatever they would throw at him.

Palming a crystal at blinding speeds, robe screaming as he moved. Blue flames darting around the chamber, casting the whole place in a mix of varied light. They'd have to hold out, if they had any hope of this they had to hold strong. A crash of steel on steel, as parties cycled in and out, keeping too much damage falling on any one team.

The Scather had done him harm, and even still one can see the traced pockmarks upon his skin. Tiny pin mark holes of data revealed, as the red wanderer inhales, faint bits of red sheer stemming from the floor and entering his mouth. Those wounds start to vanish rapidly, disappearing quite quickly. Still upon his brow, that same adamant resolve that most would have come to expect, the one that held no fear. Sparks as he locks blades with @Gabrandr, without concern for his own well-being.

The slight grinding against a blade, exertion meeting exertion as an attack was halted dead. @Lessa "Fall back, recover your health and come in for a counterattack." His offhand twists that palmed gemstone, before driving it into newfound armor like a chisel. It digs deep, and you'd see that blue flame wane. A tank at his back, the one that controlled the very same. @Eruda "Keep those cannons disarmed, and be ready to exchange with me if I need it." His eyes flash red, and he starts to push back harder against a man that towered over him.

All around the room, as Raidou locked blades with a titan, a murmur of stars began to light one by one. This was no different from any other fight, they were all taught this very same moment. Firm Anima was trained for this.

Watching the room and waiting. Now that she got a clue of how everyone was operating she knew what to do. She was no longer going to keep her voice silent. Groups didn't bother her any longer and her voice had to be heard, to keep the hope in everyone, to keep the faith that the impossible could be done. A glance toward Raidou with a simple nod. "Okay Firm Anime, lets get this shut down. Freya, use that crystal," saying as she gets into her inventory an pulls a crystal of her own. Raising it up as she looks to Gabrandr, the one that was already in the room before they even got here. Smashing the crystal between her fingers and her palm, a song starts to illuminate the room. A glance to the other side of the room toward @Simmone., "Give it your all, work together and we will all get out of here in one piece." Her voice echoes in this room off the walls so it could be heard by every player in here.

Turning to the gadget now she began to work on the gears that held it together. After a small noise she quickly regroups with Raidou. Standing next to him as her own blue flames starts to rise from under her feet. Pulling up her shield and readying her sword, she was ready to switch with Raidou if it was necessary.

*thud thud thud* skipping like a stone, rolling a bit and grinding to a halt. One girly push up later, one can see the smallest cut on Shiina's face that begins to reform almost immediately. Where others you would find red, or blue beneath their skin, hers was a silver white. "That wasn't very nice." Shiina quips as she clatters up on her heels. "That..." a sling of her hand toward the glowing scather "Is my pony." Lifting a hand as the rest of her team begins embedding stones within that dudes skin. One can hear a chained linking of popping noises. Those crystals were hers, and she held command over them. Sliding her hand along some invisible object, @Gabrandr would begin to slow and weaken. Ripping out another and smashing it against her face like a beer can. By the time he would find her, she would already be mounted on the newly charged confetti cannon.

"You nerd, stay way." She yelps toward Crozeph, the dude didn't get it. "You, though, you're pretty chill. Come pet my MIGHTY STEED!" @Calrex

A simple not to her sister as she continues working on this mechanism. It was a bit complicated, but with most of Firm Anima working on this she knew that she could do it. Messing with those little gadgets she hears a click, as a small amount of dust pops out from the Scather. Freyja smiles and turns saying "Its shut down," as she pulls the crystal from her inventory. Raising it up like Eruda she crunches in her hand with a glance and a grin toward this weird guy. The dude that was trying to make them leave this place, did he really think that they would. The music between the crystals hum in unison together. It was almost like they were meant to be played together. The ground that everyone stood on began to vibrate in a beat as colors flew around the man that everyone has deemed to be the major threat. A glance and a grind to Freyd, "It's time to dance," as she pulls her scythe out waiting for that perfect opportunity to strike.

"Hey!  @Shiina!  If that thing's got eyeballs, save one for me!"

A quick nod of confidence to his campfire brethren and Freyd was back at trying to pry whatever this connection point was out of the wall.  And then the wall bit him from behind, somehow.  Or the world burped and went topsy.  He remembered his face going 'ouchie', then the ground being in the wrong direction before fire and light scorched half the pixels off the left side of his face.  Palming his cowl to keep his brain from wobbling out accidentally, he recovered enough to glance about.  The first group had been spared the worst of it, thank goodness, by a bit of quick thinking from @Hirru.  

"I think you just earned your support wings, Hirru.  But can we maybe stop ringing the bells now?!"

Shadows cross paths before the boss: @Ariel - The Crowned Lion and @Macradon taking verbal and physical swipes at Gabrandr, and to good effect.  The Imperial Topaz went the extra step, taunting the boss about how little health it possessed.  It spawned three more bars and hulked out in response.  The proverbial 'other shoe' had just dropped.

"Maybe... maybe let's not do that again?  Just saying."

The Fallen King, now Resolute, took solid swipes at @Morgenstern and @Lessa, foregoing warnings in favour of battle.  Good.  Easier that way.  As marbles within fell back into place, the Whisper surveyed the scene unfolding before him.  Healers were healing.  @Raidou and @Eruda had the tanking thing down, and the rest of the gang had already wrecked his next exploder-thingy.

"Huh," he huffed, more than a little impressed at their efficiency.  "Guess that means I get to probe for squishy spots."

It was a good thing that the healer used barrier when he did.  The second scather.. cannon.. thing had exploded all over them, leaving them in a haze of white, while a slight screeching could be heard.  The wave of heat would He could barely tell what was going on, as the battle seemed to get more intense.  What was that about his loved ones? 

As the healer's vision started to gain a bit of headway, his eyes seemed to find that everything was blue for a second.  What was now the boss looked quite different from his other counterpart.  Much more menacing and less forgiving.  What the hell happened to the other one?

"I guess we have a proper fight on our hands now, huh."

He could barely see that Firm Anima had really put the smack down on the newly activated scather.  They didn't have to worry about explosions this round, he hoped.  Hirru pulled out a small red crystal from out of his pockets and raised it on high.  With a secondary calling, he would shout out a rallying cry.

"Do not let your eyes deceive you!  This King does not know the thousands we protect!  Let your blades strike true!"

A low hum would sound out before a violet aura seemed to resonate upon all of the members of Team 1, before the crystal shattered and another red aura covered the lot of them.

Much to Koga's surprise, following his kick, the cannon-lightbulb thing started to fade out, and Koga couldn't help but stare at the results for a second. "Huh...didn't think that would work..." he muttered, as two of his party members rushed past, erecting barriers between them and King. Only a mere moment later, the sound of steel clashing against steel echoed in the room. The man would've stolen a glance at the combat, had he not suddenly found himself tumbling across the ground, head over heels and heels over head. The impact with the ground sent a clattering sound through the air as Koga's weapon flew from his hands, until finally he came to a stop on his knees, a hand keeping his body off the ground.  A hot searing pain washed over his body as his senses caught up with the rest of him. "Ohohoho, that tickled," the swordsman growled through the gritted teeth.

Shouting had started to overtake his senses. Issuances of commands, coordination, but all of it quickly became a jumble to Koga, until a circle of blue flames exploded outwards from where the King, no, the Floor Boss, was standing.

"COME TO ME!" the voice seemed to surround the players, pervading even their minds. "There will be no hesitating." The King charged forward, aiming to strike at Lessa, and then turned to another player.

A violet shroud fell over the swordsman and a familiar voice finally got Koga moving again. His health bar slowly regenerated as Koga extended his arm, and his cursed arms rematerialized in a cloud of red fragments in his hand. "Thanks Hirru!" he called as he took off. Thank god for healers.

Charging into the fighting, Koga looked for his opening. With the King so focused on the red-garbed player, it didn't take long for him to find it. In the space between the King's swing, and his next moment of contact, Koga rushed in, and delivered his blow, an underhanded swipe with his blade that sent chips of the King's armor flying into the air.

While one scather had gone off, it flooded the first two parties of the vanguard with damage and debuff. It hit harder than he had expected an environmental effect would. If there was ever a chance 3 or 4 of those could go off at the same time, their healing wouldn't keep up and they'd start losing players. 

But then he saw @Hidden make her move. He hadn't expected it to be anyone else either. She went right for the boss. Well, this would throw them down one path that Baldur saw, and it was likely the more difficult of the paths. He never would have asked or expected a pacifist attempt at the floor boss. There was no morality involved in killing a video game character. But he wanted the safest, fastest route forward. What the gaijin samurai had forseen was an easy route, and a hard route.

Hidden now had chosen for everyone the hard route.

The blue fire exploding around the boss, revealing his combat form only confirmed Baldur's suspicions. This was playing out exactly as he suspected it could.

"Now that the boss-" Baldur began calling out, pushing himself back to his feet as the armored king suddenly charge @Lessa.  He froze there, watching as her HP bar dropped. He attacked @Morgenstern as well, but the gaijin was familiar with Morg's ability in a boss fight, and the boss had seemed to use a special maneuver on Lessa. Finally, he HP stopped dropping about 1/3 of the way down. Still plenty safe.

Firm Anima was all over the newly activated scather, and the one he had been next two looked beyond reactivating. Perhaps after two attempts they had finally done enough damage.

"Press the attack now. Hopefully this is the only boss on this floor, and there isn't another phase." People were already attacking, but Baldur wanted to ensure there was no confusion to be had. Some would listen, some wouldn't, but clear direction would help with any that were on the fence. His health raised as Hirru healed the party, and then buffed them. Baldur nodded happily to the Viridian Healer, then gripped his blade, the <<Zanshin - Ethereal Tether>> and launched his attack, following up @Koga's well timed debuff with the first build up hit. As soon as he unlocked his next tier of attacks and got out of this debuff, he's switch to the <<Muramasa>>.

Crozeph heals 32 HP [Battle Healing]

"Tch"

His usual reaction, Crozeph never liked surprise attacks but this one was different. They were tinkering with his machineries and that caused for this person to do what it looks to be what needs to be done, fight them. "Lass, get your shit together, that attack was one hell of a blast" he told @Shiina

Gabrandr then mustered his strength, telling them not to hold back and come at him. Shiina went ahead with her pony, Hirru was saving his ass from getting obliterated with how low his HP pool is.

"No hesitation?"

He placed his hand on the hilt of his katana, now he feels like hesitating "shishou, first he warns us then we didn't listen and now he wants to fight us. I admit this is weird but-" he unsheathe his katana, black sludge trickled down it's blade and hardened followed by a shrill cry as if it was thirsty to wound someone "fucker, calm yourself too" he told his weird katana. "I-" he dashed forward, sword art ready, eyes set on Gabrandr's shoulder where he held his weapon.

The sludge or goo, whatever it is oozing out of the hilt and the blade hardened, the katana almost looked like a spiked club and it kept climbing up Crozeph's arm.

He took out the hesitation he felt earlier, Gabrandr felt challenged and they must own what they have inflicted to him."

Crozeph planted his foot, a katana with no gleam thrust forward as if it hid itself. The blade was stabbed at Gabrandr and the black goo hardened and turned into spikes that also trying to bury in his arm.

"I didn't hesitate." He told @Gabrandr

Violet's eyes went wide as she was suddenly blown back by the explosion of one of the other scathers, the machine blasting both her party and another with damage that bit straight through their armor. She stumbled slightly, shaking her head as she brushed away the sooty mess that now covered her arms. "Oh well thats lovely." she muttered, glaring at the boss, who had finally decided to develop the rest of their health bars. "I guess you aren't an add after all. Make it clearer next time."

She winced when she saw Jon get slammed by the boss with an attack alongside a woman with mousy brown hair. That probably didn't feel too good, in all honesty. The poor woman was likely feeling that blow quite a bit. Violet eyed her rapier, a frown on her face. Was she ready to actually strike at the boss, to strike at something that looked like a human? ... Maybe not right now, but she had to be ready at some point. She did sign up for clearing the floors after all, what kind of clearer would she be if she didn't fight with her new comerades?

Action: TECH-B to Gabrandr
ID: 201968
BD: 1 // Critical Miss (Light Momentum Activated, +1 to Accuracy)

Battle Healing +56

With the boss revealing his actual form, Calrex gave a small sigh, hearing the sounds of affirmation that this was the actual foe they should be fighting, "Well at least we pulled him into this rather quick."

The new form definitely proved to be much more dangerous compared to Gabrandr's previous form, as his opening attack tore through a good chunk of health from two of the other frontliners. The bluenette felt a bead of sweat run down the side of his head, the sight reminding him that he no longer had the safety buffer of his unique skill from before. Giving a breath to steady himself, the Ultramarine Knight reached back and grasped the handle of the Grand Blade IV. "Guess it's time then..."

Leaning his body forward the armored player shot forward, rapidly closing the distance to the boss before preparing to leap upwards. Unfortunately, due to the numerous parts from the scathers scattered across the ground, his jumping foot landed on a loose piece of metal, causing him to lose balance momentarily, killing all of his momentum while sliding behind where the boss was positioned, "That's...certainly not a good way to make an opening strike."

Taking a moment to loosen his shoulders, Calrex lowered himself back into a ready position, prepared to strike when the next opportunity presented itself.

The wave function had collapsed, and as Shield brushed the debris from around his eyes, he saw the damage the environment had dealt him on top of that new reality. Fortunately, Hirru was already on it, and the age old relationship of healer and tank showed itself to be as reliable as always. With his own natural regeneration, he was returned to full health only a moment later. He gave a brief but meaningful nod to the Jade Hunter-Turned-Healer. His dark eyes swung from his ally to the newly reformed boss.

"Our turn."

As Baldur's attack relented, Shield advanced. He held his sword close to his side, flipping it into a reverse grip and disappearing behind Manticore Mask as effortlessly as if he were wrapping the shield around himself like a cloak. He rammed into the bulky form of Gabrandr, brushing the now-foe's arms aside before stepping in close and beginning his assault proper. He ran his blade back and forth with a sawing motion, its edge braced against his gauntleted forearm to press the attack in deeper. However, it was not so much the sword that was doing the work. His defenses were turned directly against Gabrandr, and with each pass of the blade, his arm and elbow clipped against the boss, taking out large chunks of its active health bar with each brush. The sword was merely a guide. The real weapon was his own body. His feet continued to advance, forcing the boss back onto his heels.

With a flourish, he took one last swipe, sending his elbow into Gabrandr's temple before falling back on his rear foot, rolling to the side to allow others a swing. The end result was his purely defensive build dealing more damage offensively than he had ever dealt at once. It was an odd sensation. He felt balanced, as if Cardinal had taken into account the danger of his spines and made them a more complete weapon.

He suppressed a smirk. "You might not be our top DPS anymore, @Baldur!"
