[PP-F22] The Lion, The Witch, and The Audacity of this... well... you know. | <<Witch of the West>> [Assisted]

Relaxed (1/2)

"That's a thought." The nomad spurned on by the chatter between his team, beginning to ruffle through the papers scanning for notes and formula. The various glassware seeming to glare under the burning candlelight, he'd eye the doorway pointed out by Freyd. "Unlikely, Francine has some skill but a lot of it seems like a facsimile of expertise. Its half the reason why I cant crack the code on her damn potion... Its 'magic logic'" the man actually performs the air quotes with both hands, a new one for him. Lenses glare as he shift and answers the prior conversation with possibilities parading as thoughts roll off his shoulders. "We don't need it. Its nothing more then a bunch of made up recipes that follow no rules and a bad retelling of Narnia that reads like vomit." The man remarked in a plain tone, pushing the bridge of his glasses up his nose.

"@KnightessCiela, Look around for pages with numbers on them. If my hunch is correct...." The man nurses an older looking tome in both hands, folding it open and beginning to parse what was inside. "Megan is stupid, and she couldn't produce a potion of the game didn't allow her to. I suspect she found this..." Gesturing to the portal. "and had not a damn clue what it was. Playing with fire."

Ciela let out a long breath of relief as Freyd's words helped her regain her composure. "I figured as much. I knew you or Rai wouldn’t let me toss it if it was actually important," she muttered, glaring daggers at Wulfrin before then rolling her eyes. She turned to follow Raidou’s instructions, but her mood quickly soured as she realized what she was in for. Oh boy, fetch quest time. She despised tasks like this. Especially when or if they were driven by random chance. RNG never seemed to be on her side.

As she scanned the room, her eyes landed on countless piles of papers strewn everywhere. Fucking. HELL. Ciela groaned softly. This is going to be a nightmare. With a resigned sigh, she began digging through the mess. Halfway through, she blinked, confused. Wait... Did Raidou just change the witch’s name again? She couldn’t keep track of whether the witch was Karen, Francine, Susan, or Megan at this point. Whatever. I don’t have the energy to deal with that right now.

Sorting through the chaotic stacks of papers took far longer than she’d hoped. By the time she was done, her head was pounding, her temples throbbing from the sheer monotony. Still, she couldn’t help but feel a tiny spark of satisfaction. I don’t care if it kills me, Karen/Francine/Susan/Megan will be organized.

Ciela’s organization system came together in four neat piles: numbered papers, non-numbered ones, spell-related documents, and potion recipes. She carefully placed the stacks on one of the witch’s cluttered bookshelves, hoping it might help. Though she knew the witch would probably mess it all back up, thwarting her efforts.

She gathered the numbered pages and made her way over to Raidou, handing them off with a tired smile. "This what you were looking for? These were the only numbered pages I could find in that disaster zone. I tried to organize it a bit, but honestly, she’s even more of a hot mess than I am." Ciela let out a small chuckle, shaking her head.

At least the task was done, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that the witch’s chaotic energy would eventually swallow any sense of order she’d just imposed. Good luck staying organized, she thought, smirking to herself.

Taking the stack of parchment from Ciela curiously, the man would turn a bookshelf around and use the flat back as a form of board. One by one he'd quickly tack them to the flat surface, like a tapestry of white scrawling. A hand moves to his chin earnestly scanning the information on them in droves, eyes flipping back and forth readily. "As I suspected, Mary had no idea what she had found. Based on her faint understanding this is a gateway into 'somewhere' that she was convinced she could tap some newfound power. Yet everything contained here is nothing more then conjecture. Superstition and misguided expectation." The man remarks as his expression doesn't change from his calculating stare.

"Again, Nicole is stupid."

The man would move to one of the nearby tables, adjusting some of the glassware to the side as if picking out specific pieces. A large glass dome, a small stone bowl and rod. Into his pocket he'd pull out a quarter sized red rock and place it beneath a smaller basin. "And again, I assume...." He'd exhale and send a cloud of dust from the top of them. "That these are entirely for show and she probably doesn't know how half of them work. But they will suffice." Striking the gemstone sees it spark into a dimly lit flame, to which he offers under the receptacle. Into it, he offers water from a leather skin container. As it boils, he seeks out a pair of vials from his pocket: One with small flakes of white leaves, and the other with a bright golden fluid. A few very precise minutes, flakes added to the boil and a single droplet added in will turn the mixture in a bright and vibrant white color. Opaque it would almost look like stained glass with light shining through. "Now, if you would so kindly." He offers the vial to @KnightessCiela "Pour this into the top of the apparatus, but do so quickly. If done too slow you will just end up with a fully formed corridor crystal. We aim to repair this doorway, and based on my loose calculations this should do exactly that." 

Reading back over where it was found, Raidou had a decent idea where this thing might lead. The place? Well, the iconography eluded to Hel's throne. Another witch that drastically dwarfed Amanda's power and if his suspicians were correct, she had found a back door into Val Halla

Ciela's mind spiraled as Rai changed the Witch's name yet again. This is at least the 5th time, and now it felt like they were doing it just to mess with her. Whatever, she thought, trying to brush it off. She forced herself to focus, zeroing in on Raidou as he meticulously mixed the ingredients. His calm demeanor only made her more determined to get this right. She couldn't afford to screw up.

With a deep breath, Ciela took the vial, her hands steady but her insides still buzzing with nervous energy. She clung to Rai's instructions, running through them in her head, determined not to make a single mistake. Carefully, but with speed, she poured the contents onto the apparatus, her heart racing as the liquid settled.

To her relief, the crystals began to form, shimmering and spiraling around the device. Within seconds, a doorway materialized in front of them, framed by glowing crystals. Ciela exhaled slowly, her eyes wide as she took in the surreal sight. She had done it. The portal was open, and the crystalline frame sparkled like a promise, or a warning, of what lay beyond. Valhalla.

"Val... oh, good grief."  Pinching the bridge of his nose, Freyd shook his head in the negative for added denial, but to no avail.  "Was Hel a witch?  I honestly don't recall, not that it really matters."  Sighing despondently, he groaned like a mopey teenager and dragged himself across the threshold.  Lollygagging his head like it was attached on a swivel might have been playing it a little too strong, but he was amusing himself.

By the time the rest of the party cleared the portal, all that remained of the sentinels on watch at the vestibule to Thor's butthole-of-an-entrance to the Nordic underworld were four smoking suits of archaic looking armor.  Their golden metallic hue dulled and lost its sheen before crumbling to dust, the undead contents having been dispatched by Freyd near-instantly upon arrival.

"Strange of them to leave the door unguarded like that," he mused, jovially, stuffing his hands in his pockets and twisting the 'exit' sign around to face the other way as he passed.

"I don't think they did," Wulfrin smirked back at the Whisper as two more lively and heavily armored Fallen Valkyries made their presence known.

Wulfrin pushed past his black clad mentor, his blade engulfed in the crimson light of a sword art. With two well placed strikes, the Valkyries that had somehow managed to miss the initial onslaught that was Freyd were put on the back foot leaving them open for continued attacks. The icy mist of Wulfrin's blade began to slowly encase the first to receive Wulfrin's attention, turning it into an immovable frozen statue. Wulfrin made his way back to his companions gesturing for them to continue their push.

"After you dear," Wulfrin bowed slightly allowing his armored lover the chance to strike the new wave of mobs. "I'd focus the popsicle though. You'll get a bit more damage on your swing against that one." Wulfrin's gaze met Raidou's bringing up the rear. "Same goes for you I suppose. Though I don't think you'll need the extra help." Wulfrin let out a small chuckle as he prepared to watch the fireworks.

The portal swirled and shimmered in front of them, before they all stepped in and were transported. Ciela was immediately in awe. She thought the witch's castle was impressive, but this was even more impressive. Ciela's attention immediately snapped to Freyd, her admiration cut short by him dispatching a group of enemies guarding the door. Freyd as per usual ended the enemies with no issue, earning a snort and chuckle from her as he stated, "Looks like they left the door unguarded." 

Wulfrin followed up with his usual precision, then turned to her with a bow, gesturing for her to take the lead. She couldn't help but geek out a little at the sight of the Valkyries but quickly refocused, stepping forward with determination.

Targeting the frozen Valkyrie Wulfrin had dubbed "the popsicle," Ciela activated her sword art, her strikes landing cleanly. While her damage wasn't as much as Freyd's or Wulfrin's, it felt satisfying to contribute meaningfully. She stepped back, turning to Rai with an encouraging smile. "You're up Rai, can you finish em off?"

A look to the girl with a smile he'd offer the reply "I am sure I..." A heavy beat causes the sentence to fall to silence. "No. Make that no." A flash of red would bleed into his iris and convert them to lanterns, causing a thickened red vapor to start to trail itself from his crimson clad shoulders. A pivot and turn of his sword arm sees the blade twirl, air to the palm as he'd firm up his grasp. Feet slide apart, a practiced veteran ready to face his opposition head on. "Hey Ciela, when they lower their guard to kick my teeth in. Give them hell to pay." A nod to Wulfrin makes the phrase a double before an arrow tears itself across his face, drawing a thin cut that exposes the wireframe underneath. Another finds itself planted in his right shoulder, ripped out and with an inhale the wound closes shut. The arrow snapped, while he parries off one with his weapon.

The harpies descend on him like vultures on a carcass, that hatred of his working to blind their perceptions to see only him.

Shadow gained form in the shape of a fist that drove its way forcefully through the face of the first vexing valkyrie, consigning its frosted features to a terrible thaw and aftermath.  As shattered shards of its twin glimmered and spread like marbles across the claw-carved cavern floor, its partner lost footing and reason in the same instant.  A nasty pairing at the best of times, the misshapen heroine's lunge was ill timed and fell right into the Whisper's trap.  Black clad elbow met winged helm and snapped its face downward with bonecrushing force.  The imprint of her shock remained imprinted in the stone, as the rest of her disintegrated.  

"I'll clear us paaaaaahhh... FUCK!" 

Gooses and ganders might have warned him as booted fleet feet fell prey to the same blight as his enemy.  Namely, the detritus of the other's demise.  Intending to launch himself at the freshly revealed boss, Freyd  managed little more than painfully splaying his legs to the tune of tearing trousers and a yelp two octaves higher than it should have been.

The Winged Priestess made her presence known. As Freyd crashed into the ground following a filed attempt to bring her down, Wulfrin leapt up to counter with her guard down. Icingdeath's frigid aura clung to Athia's form as Wulfrin effortlessly carved through the boss's HP. Strike after strike caused ice to accumulate turning the Valkyrie priestess into a frozen statue not unlike her sisters. Wulfrin followed the boss down to the ground, sliding out of the way of whatever onslaught his party would bring upon her.

"Anyone order frozen Valkyrie?" Wulfrin chuckled as he prepared for a follow up attack. "If you didn't, that's too bad. It's what's on the menu."

Wulfrin glanced over to Ciela and Raidou. He had set up the boss for its end, all they had to do was bring it home. So far, there had been nothing that can slow them down, and as one of its first true encounters, Icingdeath was proving to be quite the asset to Wulfrin. Perhaps he should focus on crowd controlling on top of his damage. It definitely made mob hunting easier.

Ciela’s jaw clenched as Rai shouted for her to give them hell. “You got it,” she growled, her voice low and steady. But the second she saw the arrows pierce Rai, something in her snapped. Rage bloomed behind her eyes, cold and sharp. There was no hesitation. No fear. Just fire. With a burst of momentum, she sprinted across the battlefield, her boots slamming against stone as she closed the distance between herself and Athia, the Winged Priestess. While Freyd carved through the Fallen Valkyries with calculated ease and Wulfrin froze the boss like some kind of bossicle, Ciela surged forward like a storm let loose. Ciela swung her blade with precision and force, her sword connected with the boss, hard. Ciela managed to land a critical hit. Ciela figured it best to reduce the boss's mitigation, shattering through the guard that the boss had up. "More damage going through is never a bad thing." Ciela smirked, satisfied with herself.

A spray of arrows manage to clip him one after another, pushing the man on the defensive. In that harrowing however, the others would descend upon that harpie with renewed fervor. Utterly blind to them, she'd find herself cordoned and avoiding one attack from Freyd before being blindsided and sent rattling to the floor by Wulfrin. A helmet drops with a rattling as it rolls, a shield finds itself inserted into the floor with a solid thud. A shimmer of sparks as the creatures armor tears across moments after, a clattering of metal on stone with pieces breaking away from her armor as she grinds to a stop. Only managing a few moments of respite, using her hands to start dragging herself up from the floor under duress. All up until the red headed bullet bashes her ass back to the floor with a shield and proceeds to run her through, sheering off her armor in pieces made brittle from the frost. The long moment of clarity, of perceived pain. Revenge, the programming screamed. Angry and unmoving, it waits for its debilitations to clear. An embossed long sword, a prattling of wings and it raises a limp attempt at a swipe. A rip of that steel toward the closest thing it could reach, desperate to attempt to fight back. The clang of metal on metal, the wave of thunder that follows after as it thrown from her grasp.

She was out of her element, outmatched and beaten.

[Freyd 0]

Taking inspiration from Macradon's style and flair, Freyd was already airborne as Raidou slammed the valkyries' mistress harshly, forcing her to suck stone. Familiar tones of a mob's shattering defenses were greeted by the banshee's wail that were Samael's Pride releasing its celestial seals.  Maybe the two mythologies just didn't like each other.  Maybe the material void wrapped around his fists was just hungry.  Maybe the universe was just letting them have this one.  Who cared?

Diving down from on high, the Whisper's fury crashed through Athia's hide like a meteorite through butter.  Her entire left side evaporated, remnant fractal shrapnel spraying low and wide along the slick, rocky floor as her ribs tumbled out like candy from a pinata.  Messy.  Gloriously messy.  Even the ground beneath her cratered under the force of the impact.  Not the be undone, a slender bolt of pure black nothingness flung itself from Freyd's garment. 

Persi gnawed, clawed, and generally mauled the howling priestess, whose very existence was being decimated on multiple front.  Press by Raidou, then pinched between heaven and earth, feathers flew in all directions as she flailed ineffectively in her efforts to rally any sort of defense.

"Hey, girl!  Leave some for the others!"

The Winged Priestess never stood a chance. Persi, easily the G.O.A.T. within the party did what she did best and halted Athia's attempt to survive with gnashing teeth and claws. Before long, their foe was on the ground flailing helplessly. It was a familiar set up for Wulfrin, as Freyd and he had performed the maneuver many times before, most notably on Terra Firma. Wulfrin would not waste the opening and charged, Icingdeath glowing bright with the light effect generated by his strongest art. The goal was to end this here and now. With a series of heavy and consecutive strikes on the clipped winged priestess, Wulfrin brought the last slivers of her HP to zero.

"You think this qualifies me for Valhalla?" Wulfrin thought aloud as he stood amidst the fractured remnants of the fallen Valkyrie priestess. "I feel like it should, considering we just felled the Aesir equivalent of fallen angels."

With a shrug Wulfrin hefted Icingdeath over his shoulder, its chilling aura now serving as a extremely unnecessary cooling device for his virtual and unfatigued form. He took lead following a convenient glow created by a portal not far from the boss's location. When they emerged the party was in the middle of the Forrest of Memories, not far from the lair of the Wicked Witch.

"Welp guess this is where we part ways," Wulfrin said as he finally sheathed his blade. "It was a pleasure traveling with you Raidou again. Freyd, we gotta go poke Abdullah again sometime. For now though, travel safe. Y'all know where to find us if you need our services."
