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


Recommended Posts

Despite having an improvised scented mask the blonde would still hold her hand over her nose and mouth, trying to breath the minimum possible while walking past the sewers section where the scouting party found the floor boss entrance. Walking through the massive steel covered doors, the air seemed more agreeable as she got closer to the group of players forming at the entrance. It seems she was between the last to show up as she could already distinguish the different groups that were going to step forward. "Here we go again." she muttered as she tossed her mask to the side.
She'd stop next to Oscar, their designated tank and offer a small wave and a smile. Taking several of the offered feasts she'd use some of her own while inviting their tank and night to a party. As other would come, she would send them invites too. "Let's see how this goes!" she continued to mutter to no one in particular.

Lessa had never walked death row. That was probably obvious, considering she had never been arrested, or even stepped foot in a prison. She had a vague concept of what it might feel like, after reading and watching The Green Mile half a dozen times. She also had a pretty good imagination, and could guess at how terrifying it must be. The pressure on your chest, crushing your ribcage into your lungs as if an elephant perched there. The vice around your heart, squeezing tighter with each footfall on the worn, yellow-tinged linoleum. Regrets? Yeah, probably. Doing the thing that got you condemned to death probably sitting at number one. Would you reflect on those regrets those as you lived your final moments? Would you think of your loved ones? Would you reminisce on your last meal? Would your mind be blank?

Because Lessa's was definitely blank as she approached the gathered Frontliners. The seemingly endless hall stretched before her, a fun-house illusion straight out of her nightmares. The sturdy soles of her boots padded the hard stone, heels clicking faintly in time with the jingle of her heavy armor. Short, shallow breaths whooshed in and out of her nose with little puffing sounds. She heard none of it over the Niagara Falls-esque rush of blood in her head. When a single, solitary thought managed to worm its way into her mind, it ran along the lines of what the fuck are you doing?

Lessa was one helping of mom's spaghetti away from a complete mental breakdown.

She absently rubbed her gauntleted hands across her thighs, as if it might be possible to wipe the sweat off her palms. The ridiculousness of the gesture never even registered as she slowed to a stop at the edge of the group. Immediately, her gaze swept across the faces of the gathered Players, searching for a light in the darkness. No Bahr. No Alkor. She spotted Baldur, and an audible groan of relief left her, but he handed her the crystals and moved on without another word. He was in the zone, all business, and didn't have time for idle chit chat. Why couldn't she find that determination? Did it exist within her, or had it died back on floor nine? Staring a hole in his back, Lessa hands tightened around the twin crystals with enough force that they might shatter. 

"I need to get my shit together," she mumbled to herself, the sound of her own voice tearing her back from the edge. She spent more time that she would like to admit teetering on the edge of that deep, dark hole. Some days, she fell in. Some days, she didn't even bother to claw her way out. A part of her had hoped the boss fight, only her second in Aincrad, might make her feel more alive again. But all it did was force her to stare death in the face. She wasn't sure who would blink first.

Banner_of_Leadership3.pngZandra sat up in her bed as she stretched her arms towards the roof above her. For a few minutes, she just sat there, staring at the planks that was her roof. It felt kinda strange about today, since today was a day that havnt happened in months upon months. Today was the day for the battle of the frontliners. Today was the day they would push on up towards the next floor, to progress their goal to escape this hell hole finally. Hopefully it would happen without any deaths as well. She left the bed and consumed one of her damage potions that would now be lasting the whole day. She glanced towards the empty bed, she was still missing her husband, but where was he? Sadly she couldnt focus on that today, so she pressed a few times in the air as she covered her pale skin with some dark, heavy armor. ‘’It was some time since we did this right Inferno? Time for you to keep me safe again.’’ she sadi with a smile as she left the house.

An hour later she was infront of the big gate. She unfolded the banner she had brought, planted it in the dragon and with the wind in her hair she said with a loud and steady voice as the banners special effect buffed her party:

‘’I will not stand by. In the presence of evil. With our enemy standing infront of us. The enemy to humanity. Each of us, have been thru battles and got experience, an elite-force marine would only dream off. Together, we are stronger then anything that you will put in our way. Together, as the frontlines of sword art online!!!’’

General Notes:

Please ensure that the following are included in your stats:
- Shifts (or note as ‘none’ if you don’t have one)
- Combat masteries 
- Source IDs for all consumables* (ID roll, post link, or feast provided by another player)
- Level and Paragon Level (will matter for thread closure)
- Tier of equipped and carried items (T4 assumed where not noted.  Please inform staff if otherwise)

*Not required for items in Battle-Ready, just those you actually consumed.

All corrections and clarifications must be completed before the deadline for Group 1 to finish posting.  Please update your initial post and then tag or DM @Freyd to let him know when you have done so.  Items requiring action, as noted in the spoilers beneath each character below, will be stricken as they are completed.  Items mentioned as 'notes' are for your reference only and do not require any action.  Unresolved issues will result in buffs/items/etc. being unavailable and removed from stats prior to calculating the first boss post.  

Three people have looked at the stats, but things can still sometimes slip through.  Let us know if you spot any errors, or have any questions or concerns.

Formatting of all stat bars has been standardized to try and help staff process boss posts more quickly.  Please do not change this format, even if it may be different from that to which you are accustomed.  You know your characters far better than we do, and we trust that you will manage and appreciate your assistance.

Lastly, please be sure to clearly state your post actions and your use/recovery of EN during your posts, and check your hate values.  Related information has been pulled out into separate stat lines to help staff check these values.  Your assistance will help staff process boss posts more quickly.

Thanks, and good luck!

~ SAO Staff

Deadline for Groups 1 and 2 is set to 11:59 PM CST Monday, 11/15 [12:59 AM EST Tuesday, 11/16]

As the wooden gates were pushed forward, a mist suddenly filled the area the players prepared in. This mist wasn't like normal. Instead, this mist seemed to refract the light around it and take a hue of all colors on the rainbow. Peering through it would prove difficult like looking through water. As the players stepped forward, the first thing to draw their attention would be two bright lights that cast their light over the rest of the room. The mist itself seemed to come from these lights. 

The only thing was that these lights weren't lights at all. Now lit and able to be seen, they were hulking mechanism of an unknown design. Resembling closely to cannons, four of them were laid in the cardinal points of the room. Each of them was faced in the upward direction at the rocky ceiling above. Only two of them seemed to be active as they gave off an orange light that also served to warm the air itself. A voice would capture the attention of the frontliners, calling out to them in a worried manner. 

"Leave quickly! It isn't safe here! Evacuate the area as quickly as possible!" 

A shadow would pass over the players as a man stepped in between them and the machines. The middle-aged man was dark-haired in dark clothes. They were fancier clothes, such as the one a noble would wear. His arms and legs were covered in a black leather and banded gold. His hair and beard were unkempt and his eyes seemed tired and filled with sorrow. Turning his back to the players to refocus on the machines, a name and a single health bar would rest over his body.

Baldur rushed into the room as the giant doors opened, his silhouette emerging from the the fog and eager to see what new monster they would be fighting this time, his mind a whirl with potential scenarios and strategies. He was prepared, the moment the boss was in side, to unleash his most powerful sword art.

Only a heartbeat before he unleashed his attack on the "boss" he slid to a halt.

The fallen king? A single health bar?

Quote

"Leave quickly! It isn't safe here! Evacuate the area as quickly as possible!" The man shouted at them.

Something is off here.

"Caution everyone!" Baldur called out, "I don't think this is the raid boss." He looked about at the devices and a million scenarios ran through his head. The situation with Orgoth on the previous floor played with all of their expectations.

"Parties 1 and 2 - Take defensive postures, or see about deactivating those devices! Like Orgoth, this may be an ally instead of an enemy." The color of the boss's crystal gave him pause, but they were all at full health, a single moment of inaction to see what was going on would cost them little, but could gain them much. Something about he glowing devices rubbed him the wrong way, as was the ceiling above them where they seemed to be aimed.

I wonder if he's trying to drop the tower - we've got far enough that it could be above us? He could bring in his enemies, the lords of this empire.

He knew very little about the lore of this floor, but he knew of the division they had found when searching the slums.

"Parties 3 and 4 - Keep an eye out in case he tries to activate the remaining 2 devices."

Baldur thought back to the pillars of the light on the previous floor. This could be life and death already. Without another moment's thought, he took off for the first device.

Violet felt someone nudge her forward, making her stumble slightly. She turned behind her, glancing at the player who had bumped into her. The girl apologized to her, introducing herself as Eruda, the Off-Tank for Firm Anima. Violet filed that information away for later. "Maa... it's nice to meet you, Eruda-san." She said softly, a smile on her face. "I look forward to working with you during this".

A voice suddenly rang out, warning for them to flee, to run away from an apparent danger. Strange fixtures that glowed with a brilliant rainbow light, positioned to the north and east of the boss room, with two other structures that seemingly lacked the same light.. perhaps those were inactive, unlike the other mechanisms.. though the more worrying part was that they were pointed directly at the ceiling. What were they meant to be used for?

Violet heard Baldur call for everyone in the first two parties to start making a beeline for the structures that were still active, in order to ensure that there wasn't going to be any nasty surprises that flung themselves at them from the Boss, should they attack the king while the fixtures were active. Hopefully there wasn't going to be anything too dangerous that sprang from the Boss if they somehow failed.. She sprinted after Baldur, grasping the northern fixture with one hand as she wedged Jack's into one of the gaps in the Scather. "Yo! need a hand, Baldur-dono?" She asked, a wry grin on her face. "Let's bash some Machines!"

A glance toward Baldur, a mirrored reflection of the low burning light on the walls. Removing the lenses and wiping his sleeve on the bridge of his nose, before using one of Freyd's procured swiffer crystals. "I do believe you are correct." His eyes advert to the man in the center, small almost to the point of weakness. " @Baldur @Shield @Oscar @Morgenstern 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..." Looking to Freyd, knowing, the topic devolved into a lengthy discussion about them "cannons are."

His eyes flare, his gaze twisting toward @Gabrandr as a crimson film began to billow of his shoulders. That smoke starts to cast blindness on the foe, draining what light he had against the rest of his group. All that would be left was a beacon of color sporting a blade, ready to stop his attacks. Pungent and effective, it would work to solve the issue against it running rampant at a random given target. Hopefully the same would follow suit to the other groups. Else the entity if it showed aggression would work on anything it set its sights on. But with Violet in their team, it was a risk he wasn't willing to take.

Walking right behind Raidou into this weird reflection of colored room, she takes the time to glance around for a moment. She knew that stance, that glare, Raidou had used a form of howl to grab attention. This entire thing still felt off though. Why would this man @Gabrandr be the only guy in the room after opening these doors to this chamber. The tanks would be taking point and it was clear what she had to door. She was no mechanic of any sorts but she was somewhat book smart so she would try her best. Joining Baldur and Mina to the North Scather trying her best to figure this thing out. A glance toward Raidou and the guy with the orange icon. She didn't trust him, something didn't feel right, something didn't add up right. She was sure that Raidou thought the same thing. She would work on this while keeps an eye on everyone else, is this went south, she would be ready... A simple smile to Mina, "I look forward to seeing what you can do Mina, do your best. We all have your back."

The entire place smelt fowl, but that was fine... Giving where they were it made perfect sense. Eyes shift to the man she didn't know but it was clear what she had to do. Following behind Eruda as she listens to Raidou speak, that just made things more clear. Freyja wasn't going to pretend that she knew what she was doing but she would try her best. Freyja walks to that same device that her sister started to fiddle with. As beautiful as this place looked with the reflective colors, she could not let it distract her. She needed to stay focused on the task at hand. This entire thing was a bit overwhelming, the thoughts began to ring through her head and she shakes her head with a glare. She was not going to let herself undermine her team or anyone else in this place, they have all been through too much to do so. They were all going to get out of here in one piece, they had to... Freyja needed to get back to Gaius, she promised that she would... Helping, trying to disarm this thing was there task right now, so that was her focus right now.

Who the hell put him in charge?

Montjoy peered incredulously over towards Baldur.  Freyd shrugged at his shadow, passing the gesture off as a chill, despite being able to ignore the effects of the dank and damp sewers they found themselves in.  

'Probably himself', Freyd replied to himself, his inner banter off to a quick start at the revelation of the stark underground chamber's limited contents.  It was a pretty typical boss room: lots of empty space for movement, assorted macguffins sprinkled liberally far apart to encourage a boost to everyone's daily step count.  At least they gave off light, sparing some poor soul the duty of holding a glowing bowling ball for the entire fight.  

"Compensating much?"  he replied to the maybe-boss, nodding his cowl towards the predictably [censored] shaped artillery arrayed around the room.  "One wasn't enough, eh?  My sympathies."

Finding nothing else of note about, Freyd's gaze settled upon the man himself, and most particularly his ornamented regalia.  Aincrad had its fill of impractical armors - shades of the chain mail bikini hovering on the edge of too many outfits he'd seen over the last year.  But, bosses wore their hearts on their sleeves.  Or, in this case, he wore it on the pin holding a frayed navy-coloured cloak.  The material itself looked sun-bleached, like someone had accidentally left it hanging in the Sahara for a year.  The pin, though, bore a familiar mark.  Fishing something small and metallic from his pocket, Freyd lifted a blood-stained brass medallion and held it for all to see.  The symbol on it matched that on the boss' pin.

"He's Galtean."  Revelation, flatly delivered.  "And likely a senior survivor at that.  This man is not a friend, and his icon's colour is no accident."

Rai, Baldur and Eruda had the right idea.  A nod supported his fellow captain's urging to draw the stranger's attention while he went off to join the others on the wrecking crew.  Mina and Freya were already at it, hacking and bashing the nearest phal...err.. 'cannon' to pieces.  Raising an eye at the wanton destruction of what might otherwise be useful tech, his gaze sought an alternate solution.  There.  That black snakey-looking thing would probably do the trick.  Following it to the chamber wall, he found that it fed into a larger housing nestled into some manner of even larger cover plate.  Bracing one foot on the wall, Freyd jammed the black sliver of barely-contained void that was his weapon between the housing and the plate.

"Months and months of effort, slogging through dungeons, jungles, a seemingly endless series of taverns and always somehow ending up on floor four.  And all of it so that we could yank some plugs out of a wall?"  His cowl swiveled loosely from side to side, in disbelief.

"Someone want to give me a hand with this thing, in case we need to blow his wad back at him later in the fight?"

The doors to the great room swung open slowly, leaking out a chromatic, effervescent mist. On cue, the players all began to turn and enter the room. Koga, for his part, drew his weapon, forgoing his usual flourish, and followed his party into the boss room. His eyes were drawn to the glowing orange orbs, each churning with the colored mist.

"Leave quickly! It isn't safe here! Evacuate the area as quickly as possible!"

He heard the boss before he saw him. And the words only served to confirm what the swordsman feared. Whatever those cannons were, they weren't there to help them.

When Koga's eyes finally found the boss, he found himself surprised. He hadn't known what they'd be walking, but he certainly hadn't expected just another...NPC? Koga found himself wondering, not if whether or not this was the boss, but rather whether or not this NPC, as unique an individual as any of the players as far as he could tell, more than just another second-rate AI.

That didn't matter right now though. "Parties 1 and 2 - Take defensive postures, or see about deactivating those devices! Like Orgoth, this may be an ally instead of an enemy."
"On it, Oji-san," Koga said, the title coming out instinctively, before he began to run towards north most mechanism. The man skidded to a halt beside the mechanism, other players already beginning to do some damage to the thing. "Well, maybe those mech e. courses will finally come in handy," Koga muttered to as he began to inspect the device, trying to see if there was some kind of weak point it had. The chromatic mist, combined with the bright orange light, obscured his vision, and made it hard for him to see though. "Ah, fuck it."

Kick.

Right onto a cannon looking thing during the commotion, where other players were discussing strategy. Already on top of it with absolutely no intentions, she starts fiddling and messing with it. Humming a somber tone, as she starts to tap the power trapped within in. The thing flickers and begins to languish, an accidental draw from the electronic thingy. "Neat!" Shiina extrudes as she pulls on nobs and dials, just playing with the thing like a remote. @Hirru "See this thing! Do you think it yeets confetti? ARE WE IN A RAVE?" A beaming smile as she watched a buncha players tear total ass toward the other one. Guess this was the intention, and yet she'd accidentally landed on the main tactic. As bits of machine begin to buzz off piece by piece, she was riding it like a pony.

Her eyes flared in silver, with an almost chaotic laughter as the girl was right in her element. All the while, you can hear a rhythmic chant of "Boots and pants!" popping out of the girl's face.

One by one, everyone seemed to come in.  Jacob's Ladder, with Koga in tow had all came up first, which the healerr was glad for.  The first team was there to represent the front.  Baldur made sure that Hirru was stocked with an array of healing crystals before doing the same for everyone in the team.  Koga was quite confused by Hirru's new look and how he addressed himself.  The healer chuckled a bit before locking eyes with Koga.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a joke.  I've switched some things around, so I'll be your healer and support.  So, if you get hit, just know that I'll be keeping an eye out."

With that, the hunter adjusted a few things, with Baldur's help.  As they were going about their preparations, it seemed Freyd had come with Firm Anima.  The healer had not known that this was the guild he was affiliated with.  Though, he had to hand it to them.  They do help out in more than just manpower.  Which would come up as the member that helped the healer with his shining armor pieces would speak to him, while they watched another more sprightly member destroy a piece of the boss door.

"That's the front for you."

He would grin at them all as the others would come in.  Hirru would nod his head to @Simmone.

"Thanks for helping out with this armor change.  I have to repay you some day."

Although it was all happening within a short while, the hunter was starting to get anxious.  He had skipped out on two whole floor raids due to his disaster, but he wasn't going to let that stop him.  Though, he did wish to have his proper equipment on.  The support role was something he was not particularly new to, but he wasn't ever a full support with no way of combat focus.  Back then, it was more of giving suggestions to actions and rushing into the battle head long, or not being able to do anything because the hunter couldn't do enough damage.  Now, he had to let everyone else do everything while he buffed and healed them all from the rear.  Hirru wanted the action to start.  He wanted redemption.

It wasn't until the doors opened, and the unfamiliar sight and warning that caught them by surprise.  Baldur had called a cease fire upon the boss, as it didn't seem to be attacking them.  To the healer's own thoughts, it seemed like the boss wasn't even paying attention to them.  He just seemed to be working away at the next giant cannon thing.  The other two seemed to be pointing upward while showing some kind of light from them all.  The azure samurai suggested to keep a defensive stance while most of them were trying to do something to these cannon things.  It seemed to tick a couple of them off, the hunter included.  This didn't seem right at all.

Though, his concerns were also pointed towards the one called Shiina whom had already climbing all over the controls and mechanisms of one of the devices.  The healer's concern that touching the controls and shutting them down would bring the attention of the boss.  The boss could be able to target those that deactivated the cannons fully!  That would mean..

As he thought that, Koga kicked the controls for one of them and it seemed to be doing something.  This was bad, as the healer had seen the katana user's ability first hand, and he was a lower leveled player than the rest of them.  He could only assume that Shiina was too.  The hunter wouldn't have much time to react, so he ran to Shield's side.  His shield would be facing the boss the entire time.

" @Shield!  We're going to head up near the boss and create a shield wall.  I'm going to Barrier between our shield to protect everyone else.  I think between Raidou keeping attention for his team, and our stalwart defenses, we can keep our side from getting hurt too badly."

No Energy Consumed

A long breath escaped, forming a faint mist in front of his helm as Calrex looked forward. He was already on alert, a natural instinct after having been a participant of so many floor raids. However, as the mist slowly rolled into the room, he felt every nerve in his virtual body go on alert. The rainbow hues flecking off each surface of the entrance area. I some ways it almost felt as if the preparation zone which the frontliners were standing in had become a part of the battlefield itself. It was something that Ultramarine Knight certainly was not at ease about.

As his vision adjusted to the obscured surroundings, his eyes and ears were directed towards the person standing before them, telling them to evacuate. However, the deep blue armored player's attention was more focused on the massive mechanism behind him. Even with the faint blanket of mist around the area, the two bright orange lights at the north and eastern sides of the room were more than enough of a warning signal to him than anything else.

Hearing Baldur call out his orders, Calrex merely gave a nod, arching his body forward into a dash. Even without <<Charge>> he felt his body moving at a much faster pace than before, indicative of the lighter frame of his new Grand Chariot Revamp. It was unfamiliar, but he felt he had no choice but to make do with the circumstances. As he hurried across the area, others were all piling on the other contraption to the north, and as seconds passed he could hear something indicative of a deactivation taking place, "Well that's one down...hopefully..."

"It would be some kind of sick joke if we had to turn them all off, and then later have to turn them back on. Really hope that's not the case...[/i]"

Arriving as the eastern machine he quickly gave a breath. Although, as move of the mist parted before him, the Ultramarine Knight saw that someone was already there...riding the strange mechanism like it was a horse. Uh..."

Oddly enough, it seemed like the young girl's playful actions were in fact having an affect on the strange object, as he could hear the sounds of gear whirring in a struggled manner. Something was malfunctioning inside.

"If I'm behind honest...right now I think she's doing a pretty good job. I could directly try to help...but I think that would only slow down trying to shut this thing down, but I've got a better idea..."

With a resigned sigh he oriented himself in view of the panels, and instead of directly interacting with the various pieces, he instead gave small hints and suggestions to @Shiina. Players passing by could hear various short phrases like:

"Maybe pulling on that lever might work?"
"Try spinning that knob all the way to the left, then all the way to the right."
"It might be the thing's just old. Try pushing the button harder."

Crozeph rolled in like a samurai protecting his lord. It was another frontline battle with the members of Jacob's Ladder and as soon as they got it, he also got into his battle mode. "A weird room, my hunch was right. Someone was trying to build something or someone, this room proves it."

He has already ignored the girl who talked to him as if he's some kind of stalker that should be a few good feet away from her. "I hate how she is familiar but that can wait for another time, @Baldur I'm gonna look around" he told his teacher as they try to take formation while Baldur and the others try to deactivate some kind of machine.

"He seems like he's up to something..."

Crozeph looked at the others as they try to deactivate one of the devices and sure enough he saw the girl again going somewhere and deactivation another. Crozeph shook his head "I think this isn't looking good for her-" the girl said something about confetti and that was his cue. 

He ran as fast as he can while Hirru was casting his barrier, Crozeph keeping his eyes on the man who told them about some kind of danger. He reached the place where @Shiina went and pulled her back as gently as he can "ok, there's no way this thing pops confetti" he told her. 

Crozeph stared at it for a few seconds, trying to figure how it works "if I get this right then I might just be able to help this girl" he placed his hand on a knob and turned it clockwise.

There was a whirring sound that lasted for a few seconds, did it work?"

Focused Howl > @Gabrandr [+6 Hate, -4 EN]

A lot about the situation didn't smell right, and it wasn't just the dank atmosphere of the cavernous boss room. Shield strode forward after Baldur, waving the prismatic mist away. He was sure that substance was not as benign as it seemed, either because of its effects or because of whatever it was that produced it. The raid party was more or less of one mind, so far at least. Baldur's order rang out and others seemed to heed his guidance. This was fine with him. He trusted Baldur more than most, and even if the setup with the seemingly disarming 'boss' and the collection of odd machinery was a setup, the agile mind of the lightning-fast samurai would dig them out of whatever cave-in they came across.

In the mean time, @Hirru was at his side and already boosting his defense. It was nice being buffed for a change. His role had shifted considerably in the wake of Cardinal's sudden restructure, so buffing and healing others was no longer something he could add to his repertoire. In his current state, he was a binary creation of either all spiky defense, or all self-heal-y defense, and his spikes were nothing to trifle with. Unslinging Manticore Mask from his back, Shield locked the edge of the shield's wing against the edge of Hirru's own shield.

"Odd to have backup in shielding, but I'll take it," he said with a chuckle. From there, his eyes returned to the man before them. His eyes narrowed. He had seen 'allies' turn on the assault team in the past, and he had seen monsters turn out to be friends. He was taking nothing for granted. Filling his lungs, he could feel his chest straining against the straps of his dark, polished armor. He then clenched down, compressing the air in his body before opening his mouth and letting out a booming challenge. "WHATEVER YOU ARE, WHETHER IT BE FRIEND OR FOE, MY EYES ARE ON YOU! DON'T TRY TO PULL ANY FUNNY BUSINESS, OR YOU'LL HAVE SPINES AND SWORDS CLOGGING EVERY ORIFICE YOU HAVE AS WELL AS MAKING SOME NEW ONES!" With that, he slapped the flat of his sword against the face of his shield, and the eyes of the Manticore that stared out from its face lit with a menacing red glow. It was true that the shield no longer bore any abilities to draw threat, but the totem gained from Bialis had imbued him with the extra menacing effects that the protective barrier now lacked. "Look alive, everyone! Keep your eyes sharp!"

Deadline for Groups 3 and 4 is set to 11:59 PM CST Friday, 11/19 

The group of people before him hardly heeded his words, quickly beginning to issue their own commands amongst themselves. What he wouldn't give to be back in Galtea where people heeded his words of warning. "No! Don't touch those it's dangerous!" Once again ignored, the players would begin fiddling with the Makeshift Scathers. Some twisted at its parts, others mercilessly beat at it with their weapons. One even climbed on it foolishly. Did they not care for their own lives?

Allowing these people to mess with the Scathers weren't good. He had built them himself, designed crudely from the very weapon that had taken everything from him. A weapon given to Ladonia just to see him destroyed. Thousands of lives lost in the Lords scheme. It was no doubt that the Lords had sent this group of people to stop him. They wanted him dead and allowing him to take a stand wouldn't be good for their visions. They had made a mistake in the past, giving the royal family of Galtea too much power to change fate. 

No, these people would not be willing to listen to his words. He would have to show them he meant business. They appeared to be well armed, but did they really come to fight? Or just to stop his plan? Were they the tool that the Lords devised to bring him down? Questions for another time. A piercing glare caught his attention. Sorrow eyes met that of the Wanderer. He had been one to offer orders in the past, perhaps the best way to make them see light was through their leaders. 

A flick of his hand and a blue light would shine. The rainbow mist that filled the air suddenly condensed, a dark steel blade forming from nothing. Pushing off the ground, he would charge the man in red. Gabrandr was fast, but his speed wasn't off the charts. Blow met blow as his sword locked with @Raidou's. "You have to stop them before its too late! You don't know what you're getting involved in. This doesn't concern you all!" A booming roar met the air, as a voice challenged him. Gabrandr turned, his force against Raidou faltering. A mouthy one this new arrival was. His pride would surely spread to the others, preventing this conflict's aversion. He needed to deal with that next. 

Pushing off of Raidou, his blade swiped the sturdy man's thick armor. Nothing seemed to get through. He winced at the pain from the thorns but didn't falter. "The funny business began when you arrived. Grab your friends and leave, it isn't safe her-" 

As if on command, a sudden wave of heat would wash over the players. Gabrandr looked back wide-eyed as he found someone was still climbing on the Scather. Were they trying to get melted? Turning suddenly, it was as if the world bent to his movement to allow him to move faster. In an instant he was on the Scather, grabbing the girl by the back of her armor and throwing her off the Scather. Moments later, a beam of white-hot light struck the ceiling, singing the nearby players and blinding them. His Scathers weren't supposed to have gone off, had he made them wrong and they were unstable? Or was it the fact that they were fiddling with them? The Scather in the North had darkened, its light no longer hinting at it being on.

Focusing, he held his hand out in the direction of the North Scather, a blue light shining from his hand. The mist near the Scather gathered before entering its hollow interior and lighting it once again. Sweat trickled down the former-King's face. "Please leave, I can't waste any more time on you all."

A shift through the others as she finds herself in the shadows, she was eyeing the dude that was not in the raid meet up and became slightly nervous. It was clear that things were going to turn around all weird after these things we disarmed so she would help with just that, at least for now. A few steps toward this large mechantical thing that she knew nothing about as she finds that Eruda, Shiina and Freya were on the other one working on it with a load of other people. Her hands move along the side of this large weapon and with a click, something inside it shifts. Moments later she finds Simmone right next to her, didn't even see Sam standing there. Or did she? This teacher of hers was a weird person but everything she knew about being a merchant was because of her. She would look forward to that day that she became as good as Simmone was. It would take a while but it was worth every second of learning from this unique individual. Keeping quite and in the dark she watches the mystery man with a keen eye.

Simmoné's head twists, peering over her shoulder to the Jade, Hunter? Healer? His name seemed to shift a bit too much for her liking. "Not an issue, as long as it's put to good use, that is more than enough payment. Now put it to use." she remarks with a coy smile toward the @Hirru before he rushes off. 

A tumbling Shiina, sees the woman's eyes narrow @Gabrandr. "Such a terrible show picking on a child, you know she's probably not the wisest to attempt to bully." Her eyes dart into the shadows at @Hidden before her vision quickly shifts right to @Morgenstern and @Macradon "Keep it busy would you, I'd enjoy breaking this man's play things." A couple of nonchalant steps and it is as if space folds. Already at her side, a merchant's apprentice, even within the maw of a boss room. "Hold it still, dear." Her eyes flare in gold, tracing lines of energy through the device. Strangely close to a chest in its mechanisms, mechanical in origin. A single stroke, cuts a line on the thing and a pleasant hiss begins to bleed out an awaiting pipe. The thing starts to flicker and slow, an eye perks up. "Close, but no cigar, if anyone else has any bright ideas I have a bone to pick." There was some taste of spite on her tongue, Shiina after all was usually hers to take care of.
