Event Eight.





To thee I'll return, overburdened with care;
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there.
No more from the cottage again will I roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.





he Town is quiet this week. No sudden quests on the forum post, no roars of werewolves in the distance... just peaceful, peaceful quiet. Of course, it's hot as hell right now, but that aside, it's pretty pleasant. You probably don't want to wander around the Town right now, but...

Naturally, now's when the Town is going to start thoroughly encouraging you to do just that.

You do want to find your doorway back home, don't you?

Better get searching! And don't mind the other worlds you might end up stumbling into first.




Welcome to Awash's eighth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post.

You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well. If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

[So quantity over quality, huh? Fighting droves of opponents isn't Aizawa's forte, but the reality is that not all situations will be ideal, and it's a pro Hero's duty to adapt to whatever circumstances are thrown at them.

Still, the 'strategy' sounds deceptively simple, but Aizawa doesn't have time to ask for semantics before one of them lunges straight for him. He immediately dodges off to the side, twisting his body and delivering a hard roundhouse kick against the back of their head.

And true to Maribelle's word his opponent practically crumbles against his boot, though he doesn't wait before he's whipping his capture weapon out so that it latches itself onto the wrist of another Risen, using the momentum stored in his body to toss them hard over his shoulder so it slams face first into the ground.]

[Maribelle is surprised - this dude didn't look quite so capable before. Well, goes to show you can't judge a book by it's cover. Speaking of books, she happened to snag a more powerful version of one of her spells...]

Elfire!

[The book snaps open, pages flapping back and forth and glowing hot red. What follows is a straight line of fire from the book to the nearest Risen, smattering it with something like bubbling lava.]

[Aizawa might have begrudgingly accepted that not everyone might be from the same world—and thus abide by a different set of biological laws—but he finds himself momentarily intrigued when he catches sight of her using her book like some sort of support accessory to focus her ability to melt her opponent into nothing. Interesting.

It's from that attack that Aizawa assumes she's more of a long-ranged fighter, and from that he can cobble together a quick strategy to utilize both their strengths.]


I'll deal with the ones immediately surrounding us. [He shouts over his shoulder, pausing just long enough to throw a right hook at another Risen that manages to knock it back a few steps before following through with a hard kick to the center of their chest.] Focus on trying to clear a path and we'll squeeze through once there's a large enough opening!

[Like many in the Shepherds, Maribelle works best when given orders instead of giving them herself.]

Understood! As long as you're not in my line of fire, you won't get hurt!

[And she swears she didn't mean it as a pun, it's literally a straight line. She begins firing - dammit, again, not a pun - once more, trying to make a clearing while taking steady breaks inbetween. Using a tome too much in one sitting will destroy it, and she just got it, dude!]

Got it.

[Aizawa's briefly grateful that none of his more troublesome friends were around or else they'd have a field day with the pun, but his attention is inevitably forced back to the present when one makes a swipe at him that's too close for comfort.

As prompted, he keeps an eye out for where she directs her attacks and reacts accordingly, occasionally forcing a group together so that she can take out multiple foes at once. Fighting like this, Aizawa notices that there's a noticeable delay between Maribelle's attacks, which prompts him to remain close enough so that she isn't left defenseless as she prepares her next shot.

Aizawa isn't an endurance fighter, but he manages to hold off the group admirably enough. However, it seems like there's no end to them, but when he notices their efforts weakening one point in particular he takes advantage of it immediately. Using his capture weapon to wrap around the body of one opponent, he swings them into another and causes the pair to topple backwards into a nearby group.

One more shot and they can finally make a run for it...]

[All that magic use is taking a toll on Maribelle - sweat appears on her body, her breath comes in harder. But she can still run, and sees the clearing that they're made with all their hard effort-]

I've got one last blast in me, or my tome will be destroyed! After that, we have to try and make a break for it!

[She's confident saying it out loud won't affect the plan - the risen don't seem capable of understanding human speech, or much of anything else.

Anyway, as promised, another huge, last, blast of fire!

Understood.

[It's true that blurting out their plans in the middle of the fray usually isn't ideal, but the risen have shown that they aren't capable of sentient thought and the smoother the transition between their conjoined actions is the better. Aizawa whips his capture weapon back towards him just as a blast of fire sails ahead of him to blow back the remaining opposition blocking their path.]

Stay close!

[Aizawa glances over his shoulder just long enough to make sure that she's already rushing towards the opening before following suit. Thankfully, they've managed to create a gap big enough for both of them to pass through with relative ease, but Aizawa's still poised to attack if any one of them gets too close.]

[Maribelle runs alongside him as fast as he feet will go, which, thankfully, is still pretty good! The Risen that aren't defeated begin to turn around, ready to give chase. They don't give a damn about their fallen brethren, only their prey.]

Head for the tents, the portal back to the town will be there!

[And gods willing, the risen can't go through that.]

[At her order Aizawa immediately begins running towards the tents in the far distance, pace quick but not so fast to pull ahead of his company. Fortunately, she seems to be able to keep up without too much difficulty, thus allowing him to focus on keeping their path clear. He deals with every stray Risen as quickly as possible, often times shoving them backwards into the ever growing horde chasing after them.]
