[EV-PP-F29] Tactical Analysis: Not Good <<Fatal Error: Act 1>>

Freyd · Wednesday at 11:38 PM

More. A lot more. Every time he turned around, another pop-up window reported new knights spotted, and they were multiplying fast. Bent down on one knee, black armor soaked through to whatever layer was deeper than bone, Freyd was half catching his breathe, half digesting what could become a rout. Frontliners had rallied to the aid of this last patrol in responding to the threat's original emergence, and fortunately defeated it swiftly. Little time could be spared in the aftermath, as he'd risked the rest of O&I's available agents, committing them to stalling action likely beyond their means. Fewer, frailer, they'd fought with sheer audacity and somehow held just long enough for him to reach them. A narrow triumph. Too narrow. And now reports of losses were mounting as frontliner quality struggled against the surging quantity of enemies.

Swiping away the multitude of soft blue holograms, each painting mostly depression, only replaced them with a view of the pervasive gloom that was the twenty-ninth floor. Lightning crackled overhead as black thunderheads collided in an atmospheric bumper car ride of celestial destruction. Static from their temperamental bouts made his spine tingle tenuously at the wisdom of clinging to the curved metal lightning rod in his hand, its tip resting inches in the ground to bear a growing burden. Beyond the ridge's edge, below, another scene of devastation where sword arts of mass destruction had laid waste to the latest horde of eldritch horrors spawn by the layer's miasmic maleficence. Decimated, but not defeated, the sinister metal-glass infection has spread between the few surviving mobs, from which spawned another spectral monstrosity within spitting distance of Ilridge's outskirts.

"We're losing ground, and still have no idea where these things are coming from, or why." Calm and steady, even as he stared down at the latest abomination skulking in the narrow gorge below, Freyd felt tension building beneath every bit of correspondence. "If one of these things breaches our beachhead, they will become impossible to contain."

Right. Because we're so effectively containing them already.

Panicked shrieks rang out across the chasm as a group of wounded players reached the far end of the passage. They'd likely heard it had been cleared and were looking for a safe route back to town. Only three of them, he noted. Veterans and well-equipped by his accounting of their gear. These weren't tourists, but capable fighters who'd met their match, or more. Anguished faces bore fresh signs of tragic and unbearable loss. Each one of their avatar bodies bled and decayed visibly, still under ailments their polished tormenters were known to inflict. Another depleted party. Another grim loss in a growing number of unsustainable defeats. Bearded whiskers bristled with added grey as ghostly memories of a raid boss' claws ripped through his flesh and bones. Azure eyes wincing, Freyd spared only seconds to scrawl and send a hasty message:

From: Freyd
Channel: Ilridge Local Defense

Spectral Knight near Kineallen. Send help.

That trio has no time.

Their nerve was shattered, sanity buckling under the floor's relentless and brooding assaults.

"Someone will answer."

Maybe.

Ripping Veritas from the mucky, ichor-sludge that passed for soil, the black blade's schlorping made an unconvincing battle cry as Freyd dove recklessly over the edge and hurtled towards the Knight below.

Elora · 2025-06-19T01:45:55Z

Creepy, dank, and unnervingly wet. As if Aincrad didn't have enough of that. Sure, the swamp floor had its share of rank bogs, but at least it had some sunlight now and again. On the other hand, Floor 13 had been cloudy, but there were still some cool craggy landscapes and crumbling cityscapes to explore. This place was just...depressing. 'Nightmarish' may have been more apt a description.

Elora had made no haste to come to this place. Not after Freyd's harrowing encounter with death. She hadn't been there when he had needed her most, and to imagine, rushing onto a level without safezones soon after? There'd be no higher risk to souring their cherished reunion. While she didn't pride herself in being tactical, Elora understood the advantage of waiting. The trouble was that her ambitious partner was, charmingly, the complete and utter opposite.

Briskly summoning her holographic mini-map, the elven-eared woman dashed her way to a nearby waypoint. At least, it hadn't seemed all that far-off until she had come to a sudden halt above a desolate ravine. Desperate screams echoed sharply from below as Elora's hairs bristled to stand on end. Anxiously pacing the chasm's edge, she hesitated to plummet into the soupy darkness below. Surely, there had to be a safer way down, or some method to assess what the hell was actually going on in its obscured depths.

Another bout of terror reverberated below, prompting Elora to action. Repelling off the steep ledge, she carved her spear into the shale walls. Sparks tore from the serrated blade as she braced her fall into the inky pit. All around her, the husks of eldritch corpses illuminated with stark and eerie shadows. Broken spiral ribcages. The hollowed out sockets of cyclopses and cerberuses alike.

After what felt like only a second, her leather boots thumped against solid ground. In the interest of concealing her position from an unseen enemy, she tucked close to the nearest wall and continued her advancement toward the solitary cursor.

Acanthus · 2025-06-19T16:11:23Z

Acanthus’ energy bar recovered faster than her psyche. One Knight alone was inconsequential. But mob after mob broke into shining slivers of glass before being remade in the image of another Knight. A full energy bar told her she shouldn’t be trembling. And yet her entire body shook.

Acanthus watched her damage buff vanish. Fingers aching with phantom pains, she reached for her last potion, finding relief in its cool metal contour and downing the entire container without a thought. The taste was off. Or rather, the taste was off in a different way. Oz’s liquor-themed potions had a unique (some would say terrible) flavor profile. Rather than the pungent herbal assault that gave the Ass-Kicking absinthe its name, her potion had a sticky sweet taste that clung to the back of her throat. He just slipped in some experiment to see if I’d notice. Oz probably finds that funny.

But that was not important. What was important was the horde of Spectral Knights multiplying before their eyes.

When she moved her sword and shield back into position, the sense of familiarity calmed her back down. She could do this. One Knight at a time, she could do this.

“Ffreyd. I thin k we got separated from the o thers. Is anyone el se coming? Is this it?”

Freyd was already in the fight. She spoke to the ledge he had hurtled over.

“Al right. Insert quipp—quippy frontliner stuff here.” And she dove in after him.

Katoka · 2025-06-20T01:31:58Z

Katoka was really beginning to hate this floor. She attetmped to wipe the mud and grim from herself that she had accumiliated from the last fight with the spectral knight her group had run in to. It had taken six of them to dispatch the thing and they were all winded from the encounter. Having heard a commotion further past the encampment by the teleport gate, the samurai disengaged from her party and set to locate the next creature that needed dispatching.

Her path led her to a chasm that would have sent shivers down her spine had she not already had her hackles up. The black stone and moist ground made for a vile battle ground, one that was sure to grow more revolting as the fighting continued. Kat's eyes fell upon a few familiar faces, two of which she knew better than any other. She felt something inside her awaken. Seeing Freyd and Elora in harms way sent a heat through her that warmed her cold bones. Anger seethed from her core. Deep down she knew that Freyd would protect his partner, but they were Katoka's family. Anything that threatened those she cared about did not deserve to live.

She slowed to a walk. Electricity snapped and crackled around her, her eyes resembling that of a predator stalking its prey. "Today." she spoke aloud to announce her presence to not only her companions, but to any of the walking fun house mirrors in ear shot, "Was supposed to be a nice relaxing day off." She stopped once she reached the three players, drawing her sword and shifting her body into a fighting stance. "But no. You stupid terminator wannabes had to ruin my day, didn't you?"

Morningstar · 2025-06-20T01:54:53Z

Morningstar cursed the person who decided duplicating mobs was a brilliant idea. A knight (that hadn't existed moments ago) slammed into him from behind, knocking him to the ground. This one's health was already dipping into the yellow. Winnable. He groaned, ineffectually wiping mud and grime from his once-red jacket. He bit back, pushing himself up with the momentum gained by Charge and jetting his blade outward.

At some point--maybe when the knight had begun to rewrite itself onto the surrounding Shamblers--he had separated from his group. The chaos was immeasurable, only amplified by the oncoming storm of new players joining them at Kineallen Parish.

He darted around seamless attacks, scraping by on pure instinct. He knew others were around--he could hear their shouts all around him, but in the commotion he felt utterly alone.

Morningstar clashed with the duplicated knight. He switched between combat styles as rapidly as the system would allow, weaving jabs between the deep slashes he left in its hollow body.

He thought he heard Katoka somewhere, her voice catching above the rest. He knocked the knight down with a stun and reactivated Charge off cooldown, blasting in the general direction of his party.

Lessa · 2025-06-20T02:25:03Z

Alyssa had always hated running. In elementary and middle school, she kept an old finger split in her locker, and popped it on whenever the mile run rolled around. "Sorry, gym teacher who is also the varsity women's soccer coach, I can't, I'm injured." When it came to high school, and she found out that participating in Track and Field would get her out of the P.E. requirement, she didn't hesitate. She really latched onto the track portion of Track and Field, because much to her delight, shot-putters didn't have to run.

But you know who did have to run? Frontliners, apparently.

Lessa huffed as she hoofed it across the hellscape, her heavy armor clanking, her boots making disgusting splooshing sounds with each step. If someone had told her "hey, you'll have to do a lot of running in Aincrad," she probably wouldn't have put on the headset. Imagine that - crisis averted, thanks to an aversion to physical activity.

To distract herself, Lessa called up her messenger with a practiced flick of her wrist. Though her strides slowed to something like a lope (she wasn't that coordinated), she didn't stop moving as she hammered out a quick message to Oscar.

To: Oscar

I owe you big time.

Given their friendship, she normally would have followed up with some pointed message about the limitations of her offered favor. Her heart just wasn't in it. Maybe once they finally got the Knights under control, or once she managed to dry out completely. She was beginning to wonder if either were actually possible.

The sight that lay before her did nothing to lighten the mood. As Kineallen came into view, Lessa counted only a handful of Players battling back the seemingly endless stream of horrors. "Shit," she snarled under her breath. Where was everyone else? Were they the only ones willing to fight anymore? Or were they all that was left?
