FINAL TRIAL

"ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR STAY!!! :-)"

That's a message from Chirpy, as that group leaves the records room. Though really, there's not much time left; a fact impressed upon you regardless of whether you had a overly helpful bumbling robot or not.

Take some time to discuss what you've found and equip your new found loot in the open research lab. It's not a bad place for an impromptu meeting considering it's size.

Though sooner, rather than later, you'll need to head deeper still, to meet your two administrators, who surely know you're coming by now.

(( OOC: Welcome to Endgame! This is for all the bananas, so good luck! We'll give you 1 hour OOC to discuss your invest findings, and then it's onto the final confrontation. ))

[ SO is the black and purple Nomu-esque or do they resemble grapes? Is this Maxeta the Liger now? ARE YOU USING SKYWARPS BODY HELLO ]

[solutionary]

[worst way for Dove to gain a member back]

[chosenwang]

[ Dead dove do not return ]

[dancing_flames]

[You're telling him...]

[killerwaves]

[The armor is very suspiciously familiar. And doesn't look sticky or glistening.]

[chosenwang]

[ Ah. Fun.

Time to see what it can do. He'll pull out his sword and let it GROW to it's normal size. He's going to charge it up with energy before sending it as a shock wave at the charging critter ]

[killerwaves]

[Athos hisses when he sees the shockwave coming and leaps to the side -- he's not as agile as he used to be, so while it doesn't hit him head-on it does ding some of his armor.

He doesn't look pleased about this. Have a cat stalking at you, Wang Lu.]

[chosenwang]

[ Not the first time he gained unwanted attention. ]

Here kitty kitty kitty! [ Clicking his tongue to keep it's attention so Shuda can do some more explosions if he wanted.

He will move backwards and away from the others to keep them from getting pounced. Powering up his sword, but with the intention of blocking if it does leap at him ]

[necrotiem]

[Wang Lu are you ready for a special boy?]

[chosenwang]

[ Yes! Gimme the special boy! ]

[necrotiem]

[Scion of ruin and slaughter, stray of hell...give me your body; serve me well.

HERE COMES A SPECIALER BOY!!!!! And she's even wearing the helm this time. Of course he is still small. Which is good. Because we are in an underwater bunker laboratory.

He's waddling over right behind Shuda's row of explosions.]

[killerwaves]

[THE SPECIALEST BOY!!!!

I don't think Athos has met the waddledeegon yet, so he's stalking warily after Wang Lu still, eyeing the incoming creature with the attitude of something trying to decide between threat, snack... or all of the above.

After a moment he seems to decide that the waddling is going to take a while, and swipes at Wang Lu instead.]

merlin item use (caliburn)

[diabolizes]

[ While he swipes at Wang Lu, Wei Wuxian is going to draw the Caliburn and aim a shockwave towards Athos as he slices it through the air. If he's got his thinking right, it should work similarly to the shockwave slashes of his sword when he cultivated. ]

[chosenwang]

[ He'll meet swiping paw with his sword and use the energy he's gather in it to try to push through or push off the pawsies. Swiper no swiping ]

[killerwaves]

[What's with all of you guys and your shockwave swords.

The liger is engaged in a swiping-slapping contest with Wang Lu, so he can't leap out of the way of Caliburn's burn and yowls plaintively when it makes contact. It leaves a pretty sizeable burn -- on the armor, and definitely weakens it.

Athos leaps backward right after, licking its paw as though to soothe itself, all of its hair standing on end.]

[dancing_flames]

[Well, if it worked on a fishbowl bot it's worth a try here too... Shuda is just going to take the opportunity to leap up and try to come down on Athos from above with his sword while he's distracted.]

[chrysaline]

[ And while Shuda is doing that... Sorry Athos, she feels a little bad about this. But Psyche is going to try to launch a bolt of destructive divinity in a targeted slash towards that burned part of the armor. Can we pile up the damage here? ]

[necrotiem]

[It is not the skeletal dragon's fault that his ass bones are so fat!!

Now that Athos has retreated from the rest of the melee group, this gives the waddling beast plenty of room to charge right past Wang Lu and at the armored liger. As it approaches, it turns suddenly, skidding toward Athos and lashing out with its tail, aiming to knock it down as much as possible so the NUKING and also Shuda's death from above can begin.]

[chosenwang]

[ Patty cake. Patty cake...

Anyways with the arrival of help he's going to try to regain his space after one more push and follow it up with a shock wave combo! ]

caliburn use

[diabolizes]

[ Did we want more shockwaves? That's what Wei Wuxian is going to provide! He angles his swing as such so that he doesn't hit anyone but Athos as he sends another shockwave towards him. ]

1/2

[killerwaves]

[Y'all this is one catpile.

There's an earflick and Athos rolls to the side in an attempt to avoid Shuda's attack -- this means Psyche's bolt misses, but it also means it skids right into the waddle dragon, so maybe this is karma. There's an unhappy jerk as it gets tailwhipped and then probably hit with so many shockwaves.

While Athos isn't completely down, he is definitely physically down and encircled. Quite unfortunate.]

2/2

[allworknoplague]

[That's when the nearby metallic spikes start growing smaller metallic spikes.

These ones go horizontal, shooting across at each other and making being upright (and human) a real metallic hazard in the midst of this melee. There's spikes coming for you at every height from ankle to eyeballs, guys.

Just in case you were wondering if Overhaul could see the battle from within his dome, and whether he was watching.]

alecto's sword use 4/5

[necrotiem]

[Ah, but their teamwork was going so well.

Maybe that's why.

Maybe that's why...

The dragon, whipped around from throwing Athos to the ground, puts its small golden retrieve body over or in front of whichever melee combatants it can, even if she can't get there in time (though she'll try, bolting across their section of the room).

And with all the might she can pull out of the blade that carries the heart and hatred of the earth fires its laser beam in the cage direction facing Overhaul's little throne, defiant and furious.]

[killerwaves]

[Alas, poor waddledeegon, sacrificed 'pon the altar of shish kabobs -- it does successfully manage to protect the other combatants from harm, even if it's kind of suspended in the air by multiple metallic spikes now.

As for Alecto's Sword, it finds its target straight and true.

Behind them, though, Athos' panting hisses sound as it struggles to its feet and slinks back, looking for an opening where it's still encircled by spikes and combatants.]

[necrotiem]

[OUR LITTLE WADDLE BOY... shooting laser beams and protecting the rest of the party.

As he begins to fade back into purple particles, Waltaquin lets out a small keen of pain. She was not, it turns out, fast enough. Stronger together, huh?

A few spikes managed to make it to her, but though they've lacerated her shoulder and waist quite nastily, the overall damage is relatively minor thank you benevolent dice gods for the good damage roll.]
