The Army of Gluttony - Mission Start

[phantommods]

The air around the camp was cold, seemingly a reflection of reality judging by occasional shivers of the smaller "soldiers". The perimeter was well guarded, it would need be breached before a calling card could be sent and the treasure stolen. As team one enters, team two waits in the wings to challenge the shadow if necessary and steal the treasure.

[This event will be split into two parts - the first part, beginning now, will include the infiltration of the general Palace and securing a route to the treasure. The participants will be:

Operator: Stan
Infiltrators:
Sinbad
Naomi
Sonia
Cyan

Please include a list of Persona you are bringing into the Palace.

The boss battle will be posted around April 15th. Sign-ups are still open for the boss battle, and can be posted here. There may be multiple boss logs should there be enough sign-ups]

Just using Lyra

[lyrids]

She may not have spoken up yet, but Roll is here, and she'll be happy to show the old man exactly what she can do. For now, however, she simply stands at the ready behind Cyan; she's prepared to back him up, but isn't going to make any moves of her own just yet.

[phantommods]

Cyan's attack strikes true, hitting the shadow whose helmet-like mask falls to the ground as it explodes into a small white-and-blue creature - a Jack Frost. It immediately begins cowering from fear, not advancing but not retreating.

[disgrunkled]

[Mr. Mystery disappears behind the curtain as his Persona forms around him, the green head's eyes lighting up as it scans the Jack Frost in front of them. Moments later, his voice emerges from thin air to offer some combat advice.]

So, uh... use fire. I mean, we're only dealing with a walking ice cream cone here.

[conquerorofwaves]

[Well, he was thinking out straight up stealth, but now they'll have to get rid of the Jack Frost before it can alert the camp]

Zio!

[The persona - blue-skinned merperson riding on top of a snake eating it's tail, with rainbow butterfly wings coming from the side of it's head appears, lifting a clawed hand to summon a small bolt of electricity]

[cybermaskara]

Upon seeing the Jack Frost emerging from the soldier, Cyan just stared at it in disbelief. While it is looking less of a threat, he might as well try to eliminate it. Who knows what happen if they leave it alone.

"Garu!"

Manual then uses his wings to create a small wind to the ice Shadow.

[lyrids]

"So none of us actually have fire, huh?"

Well, so it goes. Roll jumps in place, summoning Lyra as she does so, and with a stroke of the guitar-like Persona's strings sends a Shock Note flying at the Jack Frost.

[phantommods]

Fire or no, the onslaught of attacks leaves the Jack Frost well and thoroughly cooked as it dissolves into smoke.

The way forward is clear, at least for now, with the main camp about fifty feet from the current location.

[cybermaskara]

With the Shadow defeated, Engkanto sighed in relief that a small threat is eliminated.

"Fire or no fire, I think we can manage. We should continue as planned."

He then stealthily walks to their destination while trying not to make a sound.

Finally tags in amidst moving hell--Naomi just has MOTHY

[zangenasai]

Themis is following quietly. She's clearly very bothered by this place.

"...It didn't attack us. It was afraid."

She's just going to put that out there while they infiltrate.

[conquerorofwaves]

"Right, I think that big tent is our target." He calls out as he starts out ahead, a hand resting on the sword at his hip. At Naomi's remark, he slows, expression softening.

"Yeah, it's probably reflecting off the kids, but we have to be careful not to raise the alarm."

[disgrunkled]

What'd you wanna do, adopt it? We'd be drowning in those things if it went off to tell its friends.

[Nope. No sympathy for demons.]

All right, let's see what we can see. Whaddaya got for me, Mr. Wizard?

[Once again, the spectral image's eyes light up as it begins to scan for the safe zones.]

[phantommods]

Mr. Mystery detects a tent near the large pavilion where the boundary between the Palace and Reality are quite weak that may serve as a safe room. In the pavilion itself, he detects two shadows of immense power, surrounded by a group of more elite shadows than those patrolling the outer parameter.

He also feels like someone else is watching him, but cannot get a good bead on them.

just gonna infodump that all real quick

[disgrunkled]

So... I got good news and bad news. The good news is, that tent over there is safe. The bad news is, pretty much everything past it is basically the exact opposite.

[There's a short pause here as the green head rotates 360 degrees in place, as if looking for something else.]

And the really bad news is, someone's watching us, but I can't tell who or from where. So, yeah. Might be a little screwed here.

Really want to make this icon for this tag! :3

[cybermaskara]

"Thanks for the heads up..."

Engkanto frowned at Mr. Mystery's news. He really wants to get in the tent and find a way to the Treasure, but he can't risk the team to be ambushed by someone stalking them.

"Any ideas how to proceed then? Cause most of my ideas have big risks of us getting caught. And I don't want that."

[conquerorofwaves]

"Any idea if our voyeur's hostile?" Tempest questioned, it's safe to assume so.

"The idea that comes to mind is one of us acts as bait, and lure the patrol away, letting the others get in close."

[phantommods]

There is no indication that the observers are hostile at this moment, Mr. Mystery at least does not detect any hostility.

[disgrunkled]

Doesn't feel like it. At least not yet.

[He turns to Tempest.]

Well, don't look at me. This thing can't exactly fight back if the plan backfires.

[cybermaskara]

Mr. Mystery's scan might be vague, but at least he knows what their next move is.

"I might lure it away since my Persona can inflict fear and such, but it might be very risky..."
