Log:





YOU ARE HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS. YOU'RE FIGHTING THIS. (IT'S NOT CHERNOBOG.)

ALSO, MOOD MUSIC.


KEY:

• RED areas are inaccessible regions! This time, characters have a little less discretion in what they perceive as the reason for the inaccessibility; it'll either be something like a broken or crumbling wall, a locked door, an archway overgrown with dangerous-looking vines, thick fog, or something else of that nature!

• The GREEN area is the set of stairs you used to get down here in the first place! Again, this is here so you know where your starting point is in relation to everything else.

~

☆ THE NUMBER TO MEET OR BEAT IS 55 PARTICIPANTS ☆.

REMEMBER: IF YOUR CHARACTER DOES NOT POST TO THE BOSSFIGHT LOG AT LEAST ONCE
(AS A TOP-LEVEL COMMENT OR IN RESPONSE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S TOP-LEVEL COMMENT)
BEFORE 7:00 AM EST on OCTOBER 31, THEY WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD THE 55-PARTICIPANT GOAL!

[Any complaint that Domri might have had about the slap is overridden by the sudden rush of power flowing into him from Blake. He throws his head back and lets out a yell of exhilaration before refocusing on the here and now with a grin.]

Why did you say that there was no such thing as magic when you can do something like that? This is great!

[He glances around again excitedly, pausing to raise his hand and give a boost to the spider, who is unfortunately rather fragile despite its power. If he lets one of his summons die they'll just be a corpse and he won't be able to summon them again later, so he needs to keep an eye on them. But back to the current topic.]

None of the animals I can summon can fly. Ragebeasts wouldn't be able to get around all these stairs, and most of the wurms I can summon wouldn't be able to fit in here and still fight. We would all get crushed by it along with the big one.

[Well maybe not him, if he went out into the hallway before the wurm appeared, but killing everyone and everything in the room probably wasn't the best idea. He'd prefer that the wurm didn't die. So does he have anything else that could work?

...Well there's the small wurm, if he can find a place for it to support itself while it reaches across to the big monster. There's also that, but it... huh... what if...]

Could either of you run across something like a thick rope and climb on that thing to attack it?

[Blake isn't thrilled with his luck when it comes to these magic power things, but he has to admit making the kid do an old-fashioned rebel yell is kinda great.]

Cause I've never been magic before!

[Oh shit he did not think this through, a giant glowing pissed-off spider is not what he envisioned. But as long as it's on their side, it's not all bad. Blake just hopes it uses up all its energy on the monsters before it decides to get revenge for all its little brothers Blake has ever swatted with a magazine.]

[Blake doesn't get most of what Domri's talking about besides something about being crushed. He picks up on the last part.]

Yeah, no problem. If you can pull a tightrope out of your ass, now's the time to do it.

[Kind of overstating his powers of balance there, but dammit he'll try.]

[[OOC: This thread is a bit hard for me to keep up with so with this tag I am going to bow out! Sorry guys, large scale fights are just apparently not my area of expertise.]]

Yeah, I c-

[Bro stops, something catching his attention out the corner of his eye. When he turns, he notices a group of the minions creeping up on someone he knows a ways away.]

Yo, y'all have fun with that, I got a thing to do.

[And then he's flash stepping away, off to slice through those bitches like a hot knife in butter. From there, he gets distracted fighting and doesn't return.]

[radeonthecity]

Where are you...

[Domri trails off; Bro's already flash stepped away.

He glances around, then raises his hand, facing his palm towards a clear section of Escher stairs nearby that juts slightly closer to the big monster. The air distorts and a bizarre insect skitters out. While it reorients itself, Domri continues to hold up his hand, fingers shifting slightly. The insect suddenly triples in size, and Domri lets his arm drop to his side.]

Hold on tight and stab that big thing!

[The insect grips the stairs with its legs and opens a maw that runs the entire length of its body. Two long tentacles with sharp tips emerge from it, wave in the air for a moment, then launch themselves across the chamber to stick into the giant monster.]

Keep holding on and keep them tight!

[He turns to Blake.]

There's your ropes.

["Rope" isn't the best description anymore; since Domri enlarged the skylasher the tentacles are at least as thick around as Blake's arm.]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake yells after Dirk] Keep those things off our ass!

[When he turns around he's face to mandible with a giant bug with a face like a wheat thresher.] Holy fuck!

[The giant bug spits some kinda harpoons out of itself. They jab right into the big mama.]

[Blake's eyes go wide enough to take up most of his face.] You gotta be kidding me.

[The punk kid is looking at him expectantly. And you know what? Blake isn't backing down. He's not that kind of guy.]

[When the going gets tough, you don't crawl away and cry.]

[You scramble up the giant bug's tentacles and punch the monster right in the fucking face.]
