Player Plot: Friday the 13th, Part II

[topgun_textiles]

Who: CLOSED to those joining the hunt!
When: Friday, July 13th
Where: Camp Ira Lake
What: Event for the Friday the 13th Player Plot! It's time to find and stop the Killer of Ira Lake?!
Warnings/Notes: Mentions of gore, a whole lot of terrible 80's references. Going with a loose tagging order for threads, followed by a tag from the Killer/Bosses/NPCs for each round.




It was an easy ride that morning, and the mood was relatively upbeat. With the weather as nice as it could be for the area, it was almost like they took an early camping trip. Moods turned quiet when they filed into the camp site itself, the distinct laughter and chatter of children gone. The campers were sent home just the previous day, picked up by their parents and told to return the next week if all goes well. Perhaps, in that, it's something of a relief for the group set on hunting down the Killer: No children would find themselves under the blade tonight.

The group then meets the oddly-named counselors who volunteered to stay, all moogles: Mogjon, Mogmarsha, Mogbrian, Mogstacy and Moglucas. A line of fuzzballs, all with an uncharacteristic courage in deciding to stay and help the group learn the lay of the land and perhaps get a head start on their search.

Focused on Mogjon, the lightning bullets do manage to slow his steam a bit as does the blizzard, but the force of the attack was still pretty significant. Now, if only his target was actually hit. Instead, the machete does not impale the bleeding moogle attempting to drag himself forward, wing limp against his back - but it did stab into someone else.

Terra's Cover successfully takes the attack.

The blade does not impale as intended, but it still penetrates fairly deep into Terra. Growling, the Killer rips his blade out and turns on the Paladin, ready to strike again. Already the distraction had given Nagito enough time to cast a healing spell on Mogjon and follow up with Regen on Terra, aiding his slinking away from the middle of combat.

As much as Hunk wants to scream because they're fighting a real-life serial killer, he knows he can't. It won't help. It doesn't help that there's healing magic flying across the room if Terra, despite being a great Paladin, gets stabbed again and again. In fact, there's one common thread between all of the problems they're running into right now...

So Hunk breaks into a strafing run around the killer towards their side. He takes a moment to glance at Mogmarsha's hiding place, hoping her day doesn't get worse. But his gunblade's barrel charges with energy with each step until he aims a Magitek Laser, all but point blank, right into the Killer's machete arm. He can't hurt anyone if he doesn't have a weapon, and if the Killer gets disarmed, well, Mogjon's near-amputated wing means this night is already gonna be unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.

But that said, he's still expecting this to all get worse, because it always does when someone's trying to kill you!

"Why doesn't this guy stay down?" Zelgadis was sticking with Blizzard, mostly because fire in a confined area seems like a terrible choice, as does lightning when so many people are in armor and with weapons.
