[BR-F27] Paving the Way to Floor 28 [Team Nari-Lanreth]

Krysta · August 28, 2023

The player Krysta had chosen to heal, Ariel, as Krysta had noticed when the ailment icons disappeared from her HP meter, thanked Krysta for her assistance, and said she would try to avoid giving her too much trouble in the future. "I appreciate the thought, but you shan't need to worry, there will always be times where damage becomes unavoidable in battles like these." She replied with a warm smile. "And I shall be here to cure those wounds before they cut too deep."

Vigilon seemed to take his part of the assault to be up-close and personal, but no sooner did he try that, something seemed to stir within the room. Whether this was simply par for the course or due to whatever was going on with these strange voices was something Krysta had to figure out somehow, but the result was the same. The boss created barriers of ice, separating the players into their parties and keeping the boss itself out of harm's way. Then the elemental heads formed. Wonderful, just was the raid needed. More monsters to mitigate the players' efforts.

Krysta watched as her allies struggled against the lightning charged beast of ice that formed to face her party. This was not looking good, and Vigilon had the worst of it so far. She needed to protect them from what it might do next...

She prepared a skill and her hands began to glow with a soft blue light. "We stand together, I offer my light to protect you!" She called out to her allies, as the soft blue light from her hands glowed brighter. She and the rest of her party would be enveloped in a soft blue light, now protected with help from her barrier.

The walls had risen, the congregation of elements aligned and pulled into essence and being. All had arrived at the call and command of the great Commander of the Elements cry. The tiny specks, annoyance incarnate, should have fallen as they were besieged by the power of the natural forces that would envelop them, overpower them, bring them to a crushing end just as all things would; fallen before the might of the elemental order. There was nothing more for them but to submit.

The eyes stared down from behind the wall of protective ice, frustration and a tinge of displeasure shifting across them as it watched them not only resist, but succeed in doing the impossible. The impossible…felling a head, leaving it desecrated and tortured. Obliterated from its natural beauty, as if it were nothing more than a simple obstacle to be overcome.

"I don't want chaos."

"This is a trust issue.”

The words seemed to echo through the hall, floating in as if from somewhere beyond. They lingered in Wushen’s ears, wrapping into its mind, causing it to pause. It glanced around, as if looking for something, shaking its head before turning back to the pests that scattered before it. Pests that stabbed at the heads that it had summoned, that it bore upon itself. Pests that worked together, that moved as one individual among a group of many.

It didn’t understand. It was all power, all controlling, the ruler of the elements. It would not be felled by these things. These things that should bow before it, should be thanking it for its mercy in ending them quickly. It did not understand how it could be…losing…?

It would burn them with venom, with toxins, with the very liquids of the elemental plane that would leave any beast screaming for a release from the torment. It would end them through excruciating pain and suffering, leaving nothing but their ephemeral screams to echo in the instance that they disappeared, forever.

Their world would be brought to a jarring halt, the electrical energy from the natural energies released within the essence of Novalite fusing flesh and carapace. It would render the pests into nothing more than ash and memory, a melted form of nothingness that could be consumed, or ignored, as it desired.

It growled to itself as they assaulted the beauty that was lightning and energy brought to bear; attempted to overpower it with their feeble attempts at nuisanceness. It laughed at their cuts and slashes, at their screams and despair. It heard, from a distance, the call of one that seemed to try and pull its attention towards it. In its moment of awareness, it accepted, giving them exactly the end they wanted, they deserved. And then it moved on, forgetting them in an instant…

Typhoon (Standard Attack): deals 250 damage to highest hate, and triggers Frostbite 2
Static Discharge (Critical Attack): deals 100 unmitigated damage to all members of the team, and applies Static 2 [80 damage over 2 turns] & Discharge.

Static 2 | 80 unmitigated damage each turn for 2 turns

[Cannot be Targeted with Attacks]

Petty:

Using [Delay] sword arts (Does not stack) will reduce the next BD 9-10 effect that a head will produce to BD:10 only, making a BD: 9 a normal attack.
In addition, a player using a Mass Healing Crystal without any hatred generation skills/enhancements gain +2 Hatred.
BD 9-10, Applies Keen 3 and Focus to Wushen, Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth

Beyond Care:

Each round at the start of the bosses turn before its post action, the highest hate from each group decays by -1. In the event of a draw then this ability targets the player that has any hatred generation skills/enhancements. If none is present it will be the last player to generate hatred outside of attacking.
In addition, every ~~successful~~ attack made against the player with the highest hate by Wushen directly reduces their hatred by -2

Larger than Life:

DoT’s last half as long.
Wushen is immune to disables. However, when a Disable is applied, DoT effects applied in the same round will last their full duration. This also breaks Wushen's concealment on his HP Bars
Enhancement effects that match the element of a head are ineffective. Please see the head in question to see what enhancements it matches.

Multi-Faceted:
During Phase 2, A number of different heads will cycle to each available party. One of the following heads will become targetable by a team: Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth. If this head is felled, but any other remain standing it will become Flailing. These heads utilize Wushen's hatred values. The total HP of Wushen are shared with Heads, destroying one of the heads deals its full maximum to Wushen when felled.

Cauterize:
After a head enters the Flailing state where it cannot be targeted except by healing effects, it remains at 0 HP. Using the First Aid skill or a healing item directly targeting (No Mass Heals/Field Medic target a specific creature) it will close off the wound and stop it from attacking temporarily. Using these effects on a Flailing head does not restore the bosses HP.

Cordoned Room:
During Phase 2, The entire chamber will be closed off in sections using ice isolating the parties from interacting with heads not within their reach. This barrier can be conversed through but cannot be passed. Once a party's head (Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth) has been felled, players can as a post action begin to work to lower the barrier. Burning holes through the ice walls in some way by obtaining a combined LD total of 15 will melt them. Only LD bonuses from the following apply:

Nimble Addon
Searching Skill
Scouting Familiar Skill

This action must be done to continue to attack the body by each party once the head has been destroyed.

Total Destruction:

When all spawned heads are felled, the boss will attempt to regenerate them as a post action.
In addition, Cordoned Room will be re-activated

Guidelines
- Players will have until 11:59 PM EDT on AUGUST 31st to make their posts.
- Please post only in your respective party's thread.
- All questions should be directed to the #askastaff channel is Discord, or Lessa.

Vigilon · August 29, 2023

Well, this particular part of the fight wasn't going as well as Vigilon had hoped. He'd hoped that the party would have wrecked this head by now, but alas, Vigilon had messed up pretty badly on his last attack. He didn't know if the head was laughing at Nari, or at Vigilon for his fumble.

Regardless, Vigilon needed to reevaluate his options. Maybe the best way to do so was to partly slip into his own mind. He stood firm, positioning his blade downward as his hands clasped together around its pommel. Inhale, exhale...inhale...exhale...

Spoiler

Vigilon knew his eyes were closed, so the fact that he was seeing something right now must have meant the skill had activated. He saw the crystal tundra that surrounded him, and behind him was the peak at the area's center. He then looked forward, and saw a familiar face he didn't know if he'd ever see again.

"Alex...I was wondering when you'd come back here." Came the familiar figure's voice. Her usual warm demeanor hadn't changed, nor had her soft green eyes or the long brown hair. "...Mom..."

This mental interpretation of Vigilon's mother walked up to him, patting him on the head. "You're not trembling from the cold, are you?" She asked. "Whaaaaat? No, I'm totally fine!" He replied with a grin, scratching the back of his head as he did so. His mother raised an eyebrow, and placed her hands on her hips. "Says the young man who slipped and crashed into an icy beast face first." She remarked. Vigilon's eyes widened. "Wait, you saw that?" He exclaimed, then he facepalmed at the realization. "Agh, right, mindscape..." Everything that he knew, was also known by those that dwelt in his mind. "Um...yeah, but I'm not feeling too fazed, just disappointed in myself..." He replied sheepishly.

His mother's smile was still warm, and she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Alex, I don't blame you." She began. "I remember, a little over nine years ago...that day when you had an all-out, one on one winter warfare with Alyssa. I know you remember, too."
As if to make her point, she the gestured to the tundra to their side as a portion of the area shifted, as a memory began to play out. Voices of two children echoed through the air as they ran about, as though they were spectral phantoms. Vigilon knew who these two kids were. They were Alyssa and Himself, when they were younger. Vigilon recalled that he was about nine years old during this day, while Alyssa was already a preteen.
Young Vigilon had an arm carrying three snowballs, and one was already in his hand, ready to throw. Young Alyssa had freshly ran out of snowballs but was running in attempt to dodge any that young Vigilon threw, and she was headed for what she'd been preparing earlier that day while young Vigilon had been sleeping in. She took the opportunity to kick nearby snow behind her with her boot, getting snow into young Vigilon's face and causing him to stumble. Young Vigilon looked around before walking over to a nearby tree, pulling off a stick from it, then making another snowball with his offhand. He spent a short moment looking for young Alyssa, then found her at a makeshift snow fortress she'd made herself. In front was a goofy looking snow sculpt that was probably intended to look intimidating, and it blocked the best possible entrance to the snow fort. "Grraaaargghh! Behold, I am the Guardian of the Ice Blockade!" Young Alyssa called out, in her best impression of a monster voice. "Your puny snowballs cannot harm me!"
Young Vigilon stood firm in defiance. "Snowballs can't hurt you but sticks can!" He declared. wielding the stick as though it were a sword, young Vigilon swatted and thrusted at the snow sculpt, and it crumbled within seconds, revealing a surprised Young Alyssa from atop the snow fort's front wall, in which Young Vigilon took this opportunity to deck her in the face with the snowball in his offhand.

Both Vigilon and his Mother chuckled at this third person memory. "Quite the little hero you were. Or at least, that's how you acted." His mother remarked. Still grinning, Vigilon couldn't help but agree. "I...I guess I can see it, yeah." He noted.

The memory continued. Young Alyssa quickly retreated as Young Vigilon advanced. Young Vigilon looked to his left, then to his right. Young Alyssa had seemingly disappeared. "Darn, where'd you go?" He asked.
Before he could realize what was going on, Young Alyssa came from behind holding a considerably large snowball with both of her hands, and slammed it down on Young Vigilon's head. "Gyaaagh!!"
Young Alyssa then grappled Young Vigilon. "Ha! Got you!" She exclaimed. Young Vigilon struggled against her grip. "No fair! How'd you get such a big snowball?" The two would continue to struggle, not because of animosity, but because they both simply didn't want to lose to the other.

The memory faded into the scenery, and Vigilon looked back to the mental interpretation of his mother. "...Is there...anything else in particular you wanted to show or tell me?" Vigilon asked.
"Life. It has a flow." She began. She then looked to Vigilon. "Alex, you're not going to get very far if you fight against life's current." She added. Gesturing to where the memory just was, she'd continue. "Take your younger self, for example. Brave as he was, he and that stick were not unstoppable. Take your time if you must, but don't fight the current. Find the flow, then make it into your advantage."
Vigilon considered keeping these thoughts in mind. He didn't know if they'd be useful. After all, he was technically in the middle of a battle, but had taken a pause to recover energy and reevaluate his options. He placed his hand under his chin as he thought about it. Vigilon's mother then looked him in the eye before speaking again. "I know you're capable, Alex." She began. "If we ever see each other in person again, know that I'll be proud of what you achieve, as well as relieved to see you again." She stated. The mindscape began fading to black, it was time to return to the present situation in Aincrad...

Vigilon opened his eyes, his breathing relaxed. He looked to his energy, which had recovered more due to the short respite he'd taken. He could only hope that by doing this, he hadn't slowed his party down. They were all capable allies, though. He was sure they could take care of the electrically charged head of frost, ice and water.

Lessa · August 31, 2023

Lessa jabbed a finger at Jomei, passion firing in her wide blue eyes. "Take that," she barked at him. "And use it. Or I will be the one to kill you."

From the other side of the walls, Lessa could hear the cries of battle. From the snippets she caught, and from what she could see above the ice, it seemed as if the other groups had felled their heads. Theirs, however, still held onto half of its health. That fact bothered her for more than it should have, for reasons she would have to examine later on. Maybe with a therapist. As if recognizing her frustration, Riker gave a low, guttural growl. "You want to get in there, don't you?" she asked of her companion. His hackles rose, and he growled a second time, gaze on the ice-blue dragon before them. She'd always hesitated to send her familiar into the fray, too worried about losing him. But he was willing, and lord knew they needed the help.

So she blew out a hard breath, and with a nod of her head, granted him permission. "Just please be careful," came her plea, delivered under her breath as her best friend in Aincrad thundered toward the enemy. She followed behind, him, begging her weapon for as much power as it could give her.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion · August 31, 2023

The boss didn't have the chance to attack as the blonde saw the [STUN] mark on their party's assigned 'head'. She took a deep breath and began initiating her assault on the target. She would take aim once more and slash at the neck of the frost hydra head. Cursing through clenched teeth as she noticed the head's HP bar slowly tinting red with nothing but a slither of color allowing it to remain in the fight once more. Frustration built up as she looked over her shoulder and noticed that the rest of the groups had finished their part of the task of cutting the heads in unison. Only they were the ones falling behind. Furthermore, her inability to secure the finishing blow added even more to the annoyance.

With an exasperated sigh, she decided it was wiser to back out and let someone else cut the head off. She had noticed her energy reserve was starting to go on the low, more so than the rest of her team.

They'd come so far, and Nari couldn't help but feel a touch of pride at the group's coordination and strength in the face of danger. She watched, closely, as the others rushed forwards and came to blows with the head that seemed determined to shock their very cores away. She held herself back, wanting to be up front with them and protecting them from the retaliation that would come if they didn't succeed in their movements, watching the field and trying to plan their next moves. Everything had moved so quickly; so much faster than Nari had expected.

"Perfect strike Lessa! Ariel follow it-yeah, just like that!" Nari glanced around, noting that Jomei and Krysta had begun to move towards Novalite, but noticing that the head held on by a bare minimum. She stepped forward, raising her spear as she called out the other two, the plan already forming in her head as she saw the other walls crashing to the ground as the two groups pushed ahead of them. "Krysta, Jomei, focus on bringing the wall down, I've got-"

She felt her legs suddenly give out beneath her as she stepped too far into the shield, causing herself to shift her weight and collapse to the ground. She realised, more than felt, the pain shoot up her leg as she seemed to twist it wrong, struggling against everything to try and get her feet back underneath her, cursing even as she rolled to her side. "Gods damned it! Krysta! Get that damn head down!"

Krysta · September 1, 2023

Krysta watched as the battle continued. There was no need for her to cast Purify the time she did so, but she hoped she would not make the same mistake again. If there was such a thing as an energy restoration enhancement for alchemical crystals, this would be such a time to ready one, not because she could see the other players' energy levels, for she could not...but an unrelenting assault of this caliber would be slowly wearing down Krysta's energy if she had been fighting alongside them this whole time.

Vigilon took a moment to recover his energy, while the others continued fighting...but they were all failing to strike down the monstrous head of electrified ice despite their efforts. When Nari failed to finish her opponent, there was only one option remaining.

Good. It was about time Krysta's blade served a purpose in this battle. Her role in this raid was to be the light that kept the other lights from fading...even if it meant taking an action on the offensive.

Krysta drew her blade, eagerly, and made her way to the beast that still held on to its breath. "You shall fall here and now, vile beast! Send your cowardly master my regards!" She declared to the monster, before cutting the head with her sword art, Radiant Strike. With that, the monster the party was struggling against was defeated, and now the players needed to continue in their efforts to slay the boss.

Jomei · September 1, 2023

"I.. well uh.." Jomei stammered. Of all people to have caught him in his realization, it had to have been Lessa. He wouldn't hear the end of this, for sure. "Left it in my other cloak.." he said sheepishly, trying to make light of a rather dire situation. Before he could say anything more, she had already summoned one of the crystals - whether it was an extra, or her only one, he wasn't sure - and pushed it in his direction forcefully. In that moment he didn't know what to fear more.

The multi headed, element wielding Dragon.
Or the furious wrath of an angry Lessa.

Either way, he was no idiot, and accepted the crystal into his own hands with nothing more than a nod. He watched for a moment, as she and her canine companion rushed off to do what they did best - be badasses -, with a smile on his face. "I'm glad I can always count on you to have my back." he said to her, though she was most likely too far away to really hear him. With a small toss of the crystal into the air, he would catch it within his hand and shove it into his coat pocket.

Back to reality, and the battle raging on, he caught the tail end of Nari calling out orders.. telling him to focus on taking down the ice wall that Novalite had put up to separate them from the others, and Wushen himself. "The ice? You sure?" he called back, curious about her decision. "Alright.. here goes nothing."

Rushing over to the wall of ice, Jomei took a quick moment examining it. It was thick.. with two, maybe three c's. Breaking it with his rapier would be near impossible. It was also solid, nowhere he could shove the thin tip of his weapon in to wear it down or anything. The plan he came up with seemed ridiculous.. but he had seen ridiculous work before.

And that was all he could hope for.

Holding the saber upright in front of his face, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, mentally and physically preparing himself. Readying his feed, he would draw his sword arm back and release a shout as he would thrust the blade forward, the tip colliding with the thick wall and sparking. He would continue the motion again, and again, and again, picking up speed with each strike. Speed. That was what he was good at. What he was known for. Normally he was nimble on his feet.. but what about consecutive strikes.

Jomei continued to strike the wall, his movements becoming nothing more than a blur of movement and sparks as the blade bounced off the surface. The very tip of his rapier began to heat up, and with that heat, the ice before him slowly began to give way until it was.. just.. enough to.

Crack

The moment Jomei noticed the integrity of the wall had weakened, and the smallest bit of cracking showed, he would unleash one powerful sword art to shatter a hole through the wall.

"Huh...huh...huh.." he took heavy breaths, stumbling backwards a step before regaining his composure. His hand burned, though no pain found its way to him. His forearm, elbow, shoulder.. all resonating with that same heat his sword had found from the rapid strikes. With the sleeve of his coat -albeit temporarily- burnt off, the exposed skin burned red for a moment before slowly regaining its natural, pale color. "Alright you big snake, I'm taking the fight right back to you again." he would say as he stepped forth through the hole.

Wushen.png.e062d5bf203067e6506d60a456bff7f2.png

Pestilence. They were a pestilence. There was nothing more that they could be, nothing more that they deserved to be. They were here to torture it, until its final moments. Destroying what it was, what it controlled, what it saw over. Only a pestilence would do such a thing to the forces of nature. Only a pestilence could break down its forms in such a manner.

It would rid the world of this pestilence. It would tend to the natural order, return things to the ever flowing chaos that was and should be. The chaos that bred life, bred continuation, bred ending. It was that ending. It would not be ended by such…such disgusting things.

Wushen leaned back and roared, roared as the pestilence crept ever closer. Roared in anger, in fury, in torment. Roared in horror, in refusal, in despair. Roared, to bring fear upon that which appeared fearless. It would not fall here, not this time, not ever.

The final essence of Novalite fell in a glorious end. Its resistance has lasted longer than its brethren, giving hope to Wushen that it hadn’t known it could even feel. Hope, which shattered with the demise of its head, the loss of a piece of itself. It roared in pain; a pain that was born as much from the wounds that were opened on the outer layer of its body as those within it.

Wushen swore to itself then, there, that it would gain revenge. Revenge for the damage they had caused. Revenge for the torment that they placed upon it. Revenge…for their very existence. It was intolerable. Insufferable. It needed to end. Its eyes turned towards the things beneath it, the body readying as its tongue forked outwards, testing the air, looking for the opening it would need…

This sinister arboreal creature embodies an eerie and twisted fusion of wood and malevolence. Its monstrous form exudes an unsettling presence, with gnarled, jagged branches forming its scales, giving it a fearsome and foreboding appearance. Its contorted silhouette seems to whisper tales of ancient malevolence, foretelling ominous deeds to come.

The very presence of Overgrowth disrupts the harmony of the natural world, as it twists and corrupts the once life-giving force of wood into a sinister and destructive power, instilling fear and trepidation in all who dare to face its malefic gaze.

Petty:

Using [Delay] sword arts (Does not stack) will reduce the next BD 9-10 effect that a head will produce to BD:10 only, making a BD: 9 a normal attack.
In addition, a player using a Mass Healing Crystal without any hatred generation skills/enhancements gain +2 Hatred.
BD 9-10, Applies Keen 3 and Focus to Wushen, Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth

Beyond Care:

Each round at the start of the bosses turn before its post action, the highest hate from each group decays by -1. In the event of a draw then this ability targets the player that has any hatred generation skills/enhancements. If none is present it will be the last player to generate hatred outside of attacking.
In addition, every ~~successful~~ attack made against the player with the highest hate by Wushen directly reduces their hatred by -2

Larger than Life:

DoT’s last half as long.
Wushen is immune to disables. However, when a Disable is applied, DoT effects applied in the same round will last their full duration. This also breaks Wushen's concealment on his HP Bars
Enhancement effects that match the element of a head are ineffective. Please see the head in question to see what enhancements it matches.

Multi-Faceted:
During Phase 2, A number of different heads will cycle to each available party. One of the following heads will become targetable by a team: Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth. If this head is felled, but any other remain standing it will become Flailing. These heads utilize Wushen's hatred values. The total HP of Wushen are shared with Heads, destroying one of the heads deals its full maximum to Wushen when felled.

Cauterize:
After a head enters the Flailing state where it cannot be targeted except by healing effects, it remains at 0 HP. Using the First Aid skill or a healing item directly targeting (No Mass Heals/Field Medic target a specific creature) it will close off the wound and stop it from attacking temporarily. Using these effects on a Flailing head does not restore the bosses HP.

Cordoned Room:
During Phase 2, The entire chamber will be closed off in sections using ice isolating the parties from interacting with heads not within their reach. This barrier can be conversed through but cannot be passed. Once a party's head (Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth) has been felled, players can as a post action begin to work to lower the barrier. Burning holes through the ice walls in some way by obtaining a combined LD total of 15 will melt them. Only LD bonuses from the following apply:

Nimble Addon
Searching Skill
Scouting Familiar Skill

This action must be done to continue to attack the body by each party once the head has been destroyed.

Total Destruction:

When all spawned heads are felled, the boss will attempt to regenerate them as a post action.
In addition, Cordoned Room will be re-activated

Guidelines
- Players will have until 11:59 PM EDT on SEPTEMBER 5th [EXTENDED DUE TO HOLIDAY] to make their posts.

Jomei · September 2, 2023

Just as soon as the wall Jomei had shattered went down, another rose in its place that blocked its path. "What?" he said to himself under his breath, shocked that Wushen was able to react to Jomei's attempt so quickly. He would tap the surface with his rapier, just to make sure that it was solid - it was, of course.. this was not some sort of illusion. "Dammit!" he cursed through grit teeth, ramming a fist into the cold, sleek wall.

Behind him was a whole other issue they now needed to deal with. Novalite had been downed, and another head appeared in its place. While still energy based, rather than a physical form, this one almost seemed to be made out of wood and vines. Normally a more peaceful element, this copycat mirage of Wushen was still just as twisted and gnarled.

"They just keep coming.. we need to take this head down quickly this time, so we can actually get a shot at the boss itself. Keep focusing your attacks, and maybe we'll get another shot." Spinning his blade in his hand, "Watch your energy. Watch each others backs. We'll make it out of this, I know it. I'll chip away at its armor a bit more.. then you all come in with the big guns. On me!"

He would shout to the group before speeding forth towards the newly grown head. Weaving between rocky structures that rose from the ground, he'd keep himself out of Overgrowth's line of sight until he was right upon the dragon. Once again, the black metal blade would ignite in a holy glow as the Emerald Duelist struck with masterful precision.

Vigilon · September 4, 2023

Well, the water type head was destroyed, and Krysta had to finish it off in the Tank's stead. Problem was, as soon as Jomei brought down the wall, the wall reformed and all three separate rooms got new heads.

Oh...so it was that kind of phase...

"Damn..." Vigilon thought aloud. "These things must regenerate whenever they all get cut down!"

Unless one party gave up on killing off their head, this process would just repeat over and over...and who exactly would ever decide for their whole party to go on the defensive rather than the offensive? Who wouldn't want to be the one to be the boss's end? The HP bars were still obscured, so Vigilon had no idea if slaying these heads did anything.

But he'd need to make a guess soon, for out popped a wood type head, which was battled by a different party earlier, not that he paid much attention because he was focused on the water type one before. Also Meditation.

"There's more to this thing than just plant matter..." He thought. "There's something about this thing...something...wrong." He shook his head. It was a familiar kind of shadowy feeling, but he couldn't quite place it. Maybe it was just his imagination. He readied his sword art, and made his way to the head.

He unleashed his attack on his foe, that feeling was growing stronger. What was it that he was dealing with here? It was just a gnarled, energized form of tree plant, right? ...Right?

Ariel - The Crowned Lion · September 4, 2023

Ariel could only smirk as the mighty dragon roared in their faces. 'Now you're taking us seriously' she thought to herself. One head fell, only to be replaced by another. She initially thought of it as a hydra but she was happy now, to see that it had a limited amount of 'elements'. At the sight of the new one, her weapon shivered in the blonde's hand. With a raised eyebrow, Ariel examined the katana and could swear she saw the black flames on it gradually receding towards the handle. A soft chuckle escaped her: " Did the big bad dragon scare you? " she asked condescendingly in a whispered tone. However she could feel the corruption around them.

" doesn't matter, we have a job to do " she added as she rushed towards the new eerie apparition, slashing away at its health bar. " Someone finish it off! " she signalled to the rest of her group.

Lessa · September 4, 2023

Watch your energy, Jomei had said, and with a quick glance at her HUD, Lessa confirmed that her numbers were holding steady. She had dealt a decent amount of damage, but using lower-power sword arts had allowed her to keep her energy count in check. Looking good, she silently reassured herself, even as she geared up for yet another attack. Hopefully, they could get this head down in only a matter of moments, allowing them more time to destroy the wall and actually hit the boss.

So lost in her thoughts, Lessa didn't even notice the thick root that snaked its way out of the ground a foot in front of her. As she lunged forward, the toe of her boot hooked the wood, sending her flying forward. With all the majesty but none of the grace of a sugar glider, she sailed over the pebble-strewn ground, crashing only a few paces from Overgrowth. Hissing out a hard breath, she scrambled backward, praying that it wouldn't take advantage of her blunder.

Krysta · September 4, 2023

It was not long before the wall of ice regenerated, the felled head also being replaced with another...a head of wood, of overgrowth. "Curses!" Krysta spoke in anguish. The window of opportunity must have been minuscule for it to have closed so quickly.

Jomei suggested a head on assault against the dark head that flowed with the essence of wood, as he began his part of the assault. Vigilon and Ariel followed, though unfortunately Lessa's attempt ended rather poorly. If this head was anything like the last, she doubted she could finish off this head herself, but maybe there was a way to try and make an opportunity of this current misfortune.

"Keep trying!" Krysta called out to Lessa. "Once Nari and I weaken the beast, you can finish it, allowing the rest of us to open the barrier and make a direct strike against the boss!" Krysta suggested, strategizing on the fly whilst hoping to encourage her. "I know you can do it, and I am here to lend aid if you need it!" She added with a smile before making her way to strike the beast.
This would be her first time using a Technique Sword Art in a battle of great importance. By taking attacking with the proper sword art in Lessa's stead, the battle could still set itself up for an opportunity. Unleashing her attack, She dealt her damage and applied her sword art's effect, however it may function against such a foe.

Nari-Lanreth · September 5, 2023

The others had begun the assault against the newly formed head, a few giving curses as the wall that had just fallen rose once more before them. Nari could feel the frustration in them, but also the determination.

"Shit...You got this guys! Keep up the hard work, and focus on bringing down the head! We can do this!" She tried to call out her encouragement even as she positioned herself beneath the head, waiting and watching. She wanted to be the last to strike, to draw the attention to herself. She knew that it was a dangerous gambit - just in case she somehow missed her strike, or if the others did something out of the blue."Nice hit, everyone! Lessa, don't worry about it, you've been nailing this fight since the beginning!"

She wanted to reassure the blonde, but wasn't entirely sure how to. The others had already fought hard, and Nari didn't want them becoming discouraged. She gave a quick thrust, feeling as her weapon struck something of importance, before stepping backwards a bit and raising her shield. She called out from behind it, making sure she was at the very front of their formation - if it could be called that.

"It's almost done! One more quick strike and we can focus on bringing the wall down, and unleash on Wushen itself! If one of you is able to fell this thing, I can bring the wall down and everyone else can go crazy!"

Relentlessly, these loathsome insects persisted, an enduring source of vexation that never ceased to trouble Wushen. They were an unyielding obstacle, a veritable plague that cried out for total annihilation from the very fabric of existence. In Wushen's grand design for utter mayhem and disarray, they were the solitary stumbling block, an obstinate band of warriors, adventurers, and misfits, defiantly standing in his path.

Wushen harbored an insatiable desire to obliterate them, to reduce their existence to nothing more than a gruesome tapestry of lifeless, mutilated remains strewn across the landscape. If only they would acquiesce to stillness, but alas, they persisted in their relentless pursuit of thwarting his malevolent ambitions, their ceaseless motion mocking his every nefarious intent.

The elemental visage of Overgrowth twitched and writhed as the small grouping of players prodded it with their weapons. The wood-like exterior that made up the scales and flesh of Overgrowth began to crack and splinter, a fog that chilled the warriors to the bone pouring out from the seams and cascading across the ground at their feet. Contrast to the raging fire that burned in its eyes, itching to unleash its power upon the lot of them.

Its eyes fell upon a single player, the heavily armored female that stood tall, despite facing Wushen’s wrath time and time again. Rearing back its head, it dove into the ground – its illusory form not disturbing the earth. Moments later, Overgrowth burst straight up from under Nari, like a twisted, mangled tree going through years of growth within an instant. It would not be felled like its predecessors – not without a fight.

[Cannot be Targeted with Attacks]

Petty:

Using [Delay] sword arts (Does not stack) will reduce the next BD 9-10 effect that a head will produce to BD:10 only, making a BD: 9 a normal attack.
In addition, a player using a Mass Healing Crystal without any hatred generation skills/enhancements gain +2 Hatred.
BD 9-10, Applies Keen 3 and Focus to Wushen, Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth

Beyond Care:

Each round at the start of the bosses turn before its post action, the highest hate from each group decays by -1. In the event of a draw then this ability targets the player that has any hatred generation skills/enhancements. If none is present it will be the last player to generate hatred outside of attacking.
In addition, every ~~successful~~ attack made against the player with the highest hate by Wushen directly reduces their hatred by -2

Larger than Life:

DoT’s last half as long.
Wushen is immune to disables. However, when a Disable is applied, DoT effects applied in the same round will last their full duration. This also breaks Wushen's concealment on his HP Bars
Enhancement effects that match the element of a head are ineffective. Please see the head in question to see what enhancements it matches.

Multi-Faceted:
During Phase 2, A number of different heads will cycle to each available party. One of the following heads will become targetable by a team: Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth. If this head is felled, but any other remain standing it will become Flailing. These heads utilize Wushen's hatred values. The total HP of Wushen are shared with Heads, destroying one of the heads deals its full maximum to Wushen when felled.

Cauterize:
After a head enters the Flailing state where it cannot be targeted except by healing effects, it remains at 0 HP. Using the First Aid skill or a healing item directly targeting (No Mass Heals/Field Medic target a specific creature) it will close off the wound and stop it from attacking temporarily. Using these effects on a Flailing head does not restore the bosses HP.

Cordoned Room:
During Phase 2, The entire chamber will be closed off in sections using ice isolating the parties from interacting with heads not within their reach. This barrier can be conversed through but cannot be passed. Once a party's head (Brimstone, Caustic, Novalite, Serration, Overgrowth) has been felled, players can as a post action begin to work to lower the barrier. Burning holes through the ice walls in some way by obtaining a combined LD total of 15 will melt them. Only LD bonuses from the following apply:

Nimble Addon
Searching Skill
Scouting Familiar Skill

This action must be done to continue to attack the body by each party once the head has been destroyed.

Total Destruction:

When all spawned heads are felled, the boss will attempt to regenerate them as a post action.
In addition, Cordoned Room will be re-activated

Guidelines
- Players will have until 11:59 PM EDT on SEPTEMBER 9th to make their posts.
- Please post only in your respective party's thread.
- All questions should be directed to the #askastaff channel is Discord, or Lessa.

The head still stood, and as Nari glanced up at it, she felt herself become frustrated. They had already brought down one of them, perhaps not overly easily, but they'd managed it. She felt her lips twitch as she stared at Overgrowth, wanting nothing more than to end the thing.

"Alright...I got this!...I think" She took the few steps forwards towards the large beastly thing, stabbing upwards into it's underside as she tried to bring the giant dragon-like head to an end. Her spear point embedded into the form for a few seconds, before she pulled it back out and free.

Stepping back, she cursed as she realised that it was still, barely, alive. She knew that she was the weakest out of the group, and in hindsight she likely shouldn't have been the one to try and end the head - but she had gotten confident, carefree; she'd lost sight of the bigger picture for a second. Something that she promised herself she wouldn't do again. "Shit! Someone else is gonna have to down it! Jomei, hold off to take down the wall! Anyone else, hit it!"

Jomei · September 8, 2023

Beads of sweat trickled their way fown the ginger’s jawline, gently falling to the ground at his feet. He could see they were making progress, albeit slow, but progress nontheless. Their combined efforts of taking down the elemental visages of Wushen, while also knocking down the ice walls and attacking the dark wyrm itself were proving fruitful. All they needed to do now was wipe out Overgrowth, then they would have a clear shot at the wall..

Then they could really lay the damage onto Wushen.

Jomei could sense a bit of hesitation from the others, possibly with heavy attacks up their sleeves that they did not want to waste on an enemy that was barely hanging on by a thread. With a slight growl under his breath, Jomei readied his blade and went in for the final strike that would take down this additional head.

”Alright, he’s down! Someone go take care of that wall, then everyone else attack Wushen directly!”

Ariel - The Crowned Lion · September 8, 2023

It wasn't much she could do at this point, the final head.. cut off by Jomei. All that remained was to join the rest in finishing off Wushen's main body. *thud* The blonde hit one of the nearby walls with the pommel of her katana. "Didn't think so...." she muttered as her fist meet decent resistance in her half-assed attempt. Her weapon let out a few black sparks in retaliation. She didn't have any fire sources around so she had to improvise. Turning around to face the wall she sheathed her blade.

Time to put the Iaido training to good use. Closing her eyes, she focused on the obstacle in front. After a short deliberation, she decided to use and visualized the 5th kata. Opening her eyes, she then grabbed her weapon and initiated the kata. In one smooth motion she performed a upward arc then a fierce downwards slash.

She would leave a deep cut as she would sheath her blade gracefully at the end of the kata. The fallen effect from her weapon would tint the wall and spread its black flames all through the cracked ice. The wall would still stand after her attack but only barely.

Lessa · September 8, 2023

She wanted so badly to hit something. The need ached up and down her arms, stabbed at her fingers, pressed on her chest. After her previous miss, a rare sensation washed over her. The desire to deal damage, and as much as humanly possible. Her hands shifted in her gauntlets, clutching her sword's hilt tighter an in attempt to satisfy the longing for destruction. As Jomei felled the head beside her, the blonde prepared to release her own hell on Wushen.

Unfortunately, it didn't play out that way. The ice wall remained standing after Ariel's attack, and the spiderweb cracks that bloomed across it seemed to mock Lessa. The Guardian clenched her jaw, muttered a hushed, "crap," through gritted teeth. Her bloodthirsty side would have to settle for a broken wall instead of an injured boss. Hopefully it would scratch the itch.

"I've got it," Lessa called to Ariel, zeroing in on the wall's weakest point, and driving the tip of her golden blade home.
