[PP-EV-F4+F5] Crunch Time Tier 1 <<Fatal Error: Act 1>> | Tier Lock: Tier 1

[Wulfrin 0]

The launch of the Fatal Error event kicked Wulfrin into overdrive. He assumed this was the signal that the boss raid was around the corner, and with the game as hectic as it was, he figured there would most likely not be a pre-raid meeting. As such he had to move his plans of boss collection up his priority list a ways. His first target was on Floor 5. It was the younger brother to his favorite mob, Terra Firma. As he stepped into the hot sands of Floor 5, he pulled up his menu and sent a message to two players he hopped would assist him.

To: Astra, KnightessCiela
From: Wulfrin

In light of the Fatal Error quest spreading around, I fear the next floor boss is going to catch the frontlines by surprise with very little prep time. I'd ask you two accompany me on some of the easier field boss targets if you're available. This is priority one for me right now, since I don't know how much prep time I'll have. Meet me at the Sharkbait office, a feast will be provided.

His message sent, he made his way to his designated meeting place to await his party members should they be willing to join him.

Not ever being one to ignore when her husband called, she read the message that arrived in front of her. The call had once again come. The call to the frontlines. She knew he wasn't one to ignore danger, even after what happened during the last raid. She'd hoped to be by his side during the raid this time, but alas there was no time. She packed up her usual snacks that she made for long trips like this and went on her way. "To floor 5." 

Ciela recalled the first time she visited floor 5. Things weren't as dire. It was with Freyd and Wulfrin. She was preyed on by Abdullah that day, she wondered if Wulfrin and Freyd tormented Abdullah further after that day. "No matter." 

Upon arrival to floor 5, she headed immediately for the "sharkbait office" and met up with her husband. "Raid time again, huh? It feels like so little time has passed since the last one." Her usual smile had disappeared, mainly for worry of Wulfrin. She knew how badly the last raid traumatized him, she worried about it happening once more.

Though he was often unsure about the amount of help he could provide, Astra rarely ever turned down one of Wulfrin's training regimens. He had confidence in the group he would be with, which in turn gave him more confidence, feeling like he'd be able to contribute to the cause. This was a call to action from the frontlines, as it seemed the next raid was looming at a close distance. One day, Astra was hoping to be on those same frontlines himself. This was just another stepping stone in his journey. 

The novice freelancer made his way to floor 5, a floor he'd only been to one other time so far during his stay in Aincrad. It was arid, sparse, full of hot sand, but also carried a bit of beauty. At least to Astra. He continued to make his way to Wulfrin's usual meeting spot for Sharkbait meetings. Entering the main room, he was able to meet up with two of his beloved companions, Ciela and Wulfrin. "Hey guys", he said with a smile. "Ready to do this?" he asked between bites of sharkcuterie.

"Cool," Wulfrin said as he collected his things. "You both made it. This time it's a wee bit different than Sharkbait as I'm not hitting Terra Firma this tme. I'm going after his younger brother."

Wulfrin led the threesome through the sandy deserts to a make shift arena encircled by jagged spires of rock. Wulfrin, the ever cheeky lad he was, materialled a large iron bear trap from his inventory and placed it upon the shifting sands. It was kind of Callisto to have dropped such an item after his defeat in the raid of floor 28. Wulfrin gestured everyone to the edge of the ring as the trap waited to be sprung.

"Gameplan," Wulfrin said as he drew in the sands with the tip of his holy blade. "I'll strike first, the goal being to drop his mitigation down. Astra, you'll be on stun duty, that trinket you got plus Blighted Fang should carry you this fight. My love, you'll be on agro. If you see Blight trigger from Astra, howl. Otherwise it might be best for you to be on back up stun. This thing should not last more than a round. I can take it down in two on my own. The tricky part is Ciela and I are locked down to Tier One for a bit due to the boss arena. Afterwards we'll rest up and head to floor 4."

The jaws of the trap snapped shut behind them, and Wulfrin jumped into action. His blade hummed to life with the light of his Florenthian Howl Sword Art that carved through the Sand Sharks hide like a hot knife in butter. The shifting sands made it difficult to move, but that didn't stop Wulfrin from putting a sizeable dent into the field boss's hide.

As Astra walked through the desert with his companions (notably two of his favorite companions) he nodded along to Wulfrin's instruction. When they arrived at the perimeter of the arena, Astra got himself into position and readied himself for the fight ahead. This was Terra-Firma's younger sibling, so the fight was a little less daunting, but it was dangerous nonetheless. The young swordsman unsheathed the new blade lent to him by Wulfrin, and readied it. 

When the jaws of the bear trap snapped closed, that was the signal that it was time for action. Out of the corner of his eye Astra watched as Wulfrin leapt in, dealing a devastating blow to the sand shark. Now it was his turn to hopefully do some damage, and get a stun off like the plan. Even though he was running on hot sand, Astra made his movement seem seamless across the dunes. His sword arm was outstretched behind him, with his blade leaving a trail what appeared to be blue sparkles and flame, as he readied a sword art. Dodging past the flailing shark, Astra did a small leap towards the sand shark and unleashed a small barrage of slashes against its body, apparently doing some damage. 

After his flurry of attacks, Astra repositioned himself, making sure to keep a line of sight on his companions and the shark. It looked as though his sword art went off without a hitch, and the monster was now temporarily stunned. "Alright guys, let's make this quick!" He called out to his companions, hoping to rally them and keep up the momentum.

This wasn't the first time Ciela was facing the Sand Shark, though it had been a while. She'd come a long way since then, gone on so many adventures. This was no different. Ciela had been doing some prepping of her own unbeknownst to Wulfrin, and she would keep it that way. She wasn't sure if it would be done in time, but she sure hoped.

"Well here goes nothing!" Ciela approached the stunned shark and slashed at the creature, watching as the thorns and auras that surrounded her lay into the shark. "It didn't do as much as I hoped, but it's better than doing nothing." Ciela felt a little deflated, but no matter. Wulfrin could probably wipe it out next turn and that would be that. Actually, there was no probably about it. Wulfrin could absolutely wipe it out next turn, as long as he didn't miss. Ciela, being the ever cheeky loving wife, looks over to Wulfrin, "Hey sweetheart? Don't miss!" Stifling a chuckle shortly after.

Astra watched as Ciela slashed at the Sand Shark, it was an elegant slash, but she still looked menacing surrounded by an aura of thorns. Even in the heat of the battle, Astra couldn't help but cheer on his friends: "Nice, Ciela! We've got this." Actually, come to think of it, during his time in Aincrad and around Ciela and Wulfrin, this could've been the first time that Astra saw his friend, older sister figure, and landlord, in battle. She was certainly no slouch, and carried herself like the best of the best tanks out there. She was multifaceted, and that was impressive. 

Next it seemed like it would naturally be Wulfrin's turn, where he'd swoop in and defeat the Sand Shark in potentially one strong blow. However, in the moment it seemed best if Astra made the next move, due to the effects of Wulfrin's last attack still lingering. 

"Any well wishes for me, Ciela? Here's hoping I don't miss." 

The swordsman sprung into action once more, dashing towards the Sand Shark. The blade of his sword was glowing with the power of an activated sword art, and all Astra hoped was that he could pull it off. The closer he got to the Sand Shark, who was still in the trap, the more it thrashed around. It would be hard to land a clean hit with the monster rampaging, but Astra was feeling focused and confident that he could pull it off. 

Leaping into the air with his sword trailing behind him, Astra let out a small cry of "lets end this!" Before bringing his sword down with all of his power. The luminescent blade cut right into the Sand Shark, and it let out a pained cry that Astra had probably never heard before. It seemed to leave at least somewhat of a mark, and now it was the perfect timing for Wulfrin to finish it off. 

"Okay Wulfrin! Wait, master? Sensei?" Astra caught himself for a moment, trying to address his companion who has been his mentor up until this point. What was the respectful way to address him in battle? Ah, screw it. Didn't really matter. 

"Your turn, let's finish this thing!"

Abilities:
Bad Footing | Missing an attack against the Sand Shark causes the Player to get bogged down by the sandy environment, making the next attack against them deal 15 DMG more.
Sharp Jaws | On an MD 9-10, the Shark will reduce the MIT of its target by 10 for <<Sand Shark’s>> next attack, which will automatically target the same Player regardless of Hate values.
Weapon Lock | Only Sword Arts of Rank 4 or lower may be used against this boss.
Tier Lock | For the duration of the fight, all of the participants’ stats that scale with Tier are calculated as though they’re Tier 1. [DMG/MIT/BLEED enhancements etc.]
