11/05 — ΣHeartless Snaring Cathedral...?

[userunfriendly]

Who: █████ & visitors
What: scheming
Where: Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground (Hulle Granz Cathedral)
When: Sunday, 11/05
Warnings: to be added


[ Despite the ominous aura, the haunted tower has seen no shortage of visitors recently. But for those who gate in today the air itself is different. The skies are black, and the mist that had blanketed only the top of the tower now pours out across the plains, shrouding the ruined city from sight.

Anyone who goes looking for the master of the tower will find that the room he occupied before now holds only a single door, standing unsupported in the middle of the room. It beckons, tugging with a terrible compulsion — you know whatever sight awaits you is one you'll later wish you could forget, and yet... you look. But the door opens only onto the bridge leading to Hulle Granz Cathedral, where the first quiet strains of choral music through the open doors guides you on. ]

((Note: Characters are welcome to receive the location from any other player and gate directly to Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground. Allowing those who found his tower inaccessible to come join, too, is cruelty.))

[ After taking her shot at Gorre, Haru's reaching for Sinclair's hand again to ground him, squeezing it in support. ]

Oh, Emil-kun. You're so reckless.

[ But she understands what he's doing. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair smiles at Haru and squeezes her hand too]

Just a little but...facing it head on myself, without someone else trying to force it out of me...it's not as bad, I think.

[rebelles]

It's brave of you.

[ Reckless but admirable. ]

Thanks to you we figured out his weakness. This will turn the tide, I can feel it.

[insinning]

Yeah. We'll defeat Gorre soon. And then at his core...

[They could finally reach Michel]

[rebelles]

We'll free Winter.

[ Seeing his dwindling HP, she's going to dig up a potion to hand to him. ]

If it gets to be too much, we'll switch. I should have a door, too.

[insinning]

Thank you.

[Taking the potion to top up.]

Once Tylor's door is closed, we'll try for another. I think we should test something. I thought the damage would just stack like before but...maybe it's because we're confronting the cruelties inflicted on us...?

[rebelles]

I think so. You could be throwing off his predictions.

[ Noise scrambles data. Is it cruelty if self-inflicted? ]

We need to be careful that we don't overdo it and give him more HP back than we deplete. He's also gotten desperate and started Data Draining.

[insinning]

I've got one heal left. I'll keep it in reserve, but...

[Frowning]

If we can get to our doors before he gets to them, we should be able to manage the drain better. Especially if half of us attack, and then open our doors...

[rebelles]

Then the other half of us hit him hard. As long as it's not lightning, the elements seem effective.
