[PT-PP-F02] Making a List

[Rencesvals 0]

Their journey through the sludge swamps was remarkably uneventful.  Either the shambler hordes had been culled recently, or they were all busy convening elsewhere.  Maybe they had unionized and were demanding better working conditions?  Wouldn't that be a lark?  When the troop finally reached their destination, it had a similar look and feel to the monastery Freyd had once called home.

"I always wondered if they re-used set pieces when they built out this floor.  The layout is mirrored, but otherwise appears identical.  Which means, he'll be over..."

A winged warrior wreathed in wrath and celestial armor hovered into view, landing in the central courtyard with a beckoning glare.  Gleaming silver sword drawn, the angel looked eager for a fight.

Sensing his opportunity, Ren rushed forward to commence the fray, clashing blades with a sense of righteous fury and vengeful justice the others felt just as strongly.  This fight would make a fitting climax for today's lessons after all.

Where Ren charged the angel head on, Jeeves was already scheming to deny it access to the skies.  Dodging right, in case the field came with its own tricks for players foolish enough to cluster around the boss, his bolts lanced through the air to perforate the mob's feathered wings with impunity.  

"Foyle!  Take care of the other side.  If we can keep it down, it'll be just like the wasp queen!"

He could already see the archer moving to the far field, bow at the ready for a run and gun effort.  Freyd was closing the pincer on the mob from behind, his hammer eager to meet Ren's anvil with a spot of celestial in between.  Behind the goggles, Jeeves' blood was pumping as they fell into rhythm with each other, acting without the need for spoken words.

"So this is what he meant..."

The barest hint of a smile could be seen poking out beneath the brim of a certain captain's cowl.

"On it!"  Darting left, Foyle knocked and locked, taking aim as he ran and finding his mark perfectly.  Arrow lodged at the ball joint between its deltoid and traps, he'd found the perfect chink in its armor. Eladriel shrieked, not even pretense of humanity in the abhorrent sound as it reverberated on the surrounding stones. "Who the hell makes these things, anyway?"

"You don't want to know," came Ren's reply, trying to hold focus on himself just long enough for Freyd to finish his wraparound.  "Just look at twenty nine and ask yourself the same question.  They're no shortage of inspiration for horror and tragedy, it seems."

Another shot, this time sunk deep into Eladriel's exposed flank.  Between his barrage and Jeeves' on the far side, they had it effectively suppressed.  All they needed was for the final piece of their plan to fall into place, which looked to be about three paces away from happening.

Black blade arching high and backlit by the haze of sun somehow filtering through miasmic clouds for the moment, Freyd slashed Veritas straight along the creature's spine, leaving a ghastly red tear along the avatar's mesh.  When the angel whirled and reeled, it felt his meathook wrap around its neck and yank hard, smashing its marred perfection hard into the Whisper's plate-covered knee with a sickening crunch.  Chain retracted, purpose served, Freyd curb stomped the fallen angel for good measure.

"That one's for all the people on this floor," he added, stepping back to avoid its wildly flailing wings.  They no longer worked well enough for flight, but wingspan alone granted them considerable reach.

"NOW!"  Word given to the paladin opposite himself, Freyd watched Ren have his moment, content to see the man find himself amidst so much darkness.  "This... is what you were supposed to be, Eladriel.  Not the blighted version of yourself we are now force to put down."

Durendal plunged through the blackened heart, pinning the writing angel's twisted form to the stone surface beneath, his body weight added to keep it grappled.  Jeeves and Foyle piled on in the same way, each grabbing a mangled wing and wrestling it to the ground.  

"Do it, captain!  We've got the rest of this covered.  Literally."  Try as it might, the field boss couldn't shake their collective weight in its weakened state.  Watching as the black knight strode around the beaten mob, blade tip hovering a fraction of an inch above the stone as if gauging its depth in the leadup to execution, Freyd made ready to finish it off.

Resolute in their task, the rest of them held fast, as they always would.  This was their purpose; their role.  To hold a line against threats and darkness. To pin them down and keep them at bay for the sake of all others.  Unspoken, all of them felt it in their bones in that moment.

Guillotine in hand, Freyd let it fall onto the fallen.  The rest was little more than a shimmering pool of shattered shards spreading out all around them as Eledriel and all its corruption was destroyed.  A single rare beam of light opened, peering through the clouded sky like a hint of the floor's lost spirit hailing their victory after so much bitter defeat.  Moments later, it faded once more.

"A job well done, everyone."  Grasping each player's hand in turn, Freyd helped them find their footing, as he'd done with their morale throughout the day's effort.  "Drink are on the house tonight." A good chuckle that might mean more if they'd all done the wonky quest near Ilridge.  Best to leave it for another time, he thought.  "You all pulled together together today, more and more after every fight.  That's how we function.  That's what it means to be Firm Anima."

"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"

All, as one.
