Plotting to take down THE CREATURE

[strength_of_will]

(Follow-up from previous event and also recent State of the Game.)

Hello all! I hope you've all had a pleasant holiday period. I'm gathering volunteers to help with William's plan to take down the monster that's been threatening Rumpitur. So far there's been a few IC offers to help but in light of the recent SOTG it may be good to coordinate general efforts.

Helpers so far:
Jinx opheliac - offering to help bomb the beast to hell and back (and cook whatever remains)
Shoto Todoroki heir_conditioned - fighter (fire and ice)
Erichthonios beshackled - helping study the taint ahead of the fight
Elidibus heartofsalvation - helping analyse the creatures
Toph fieldtrip - pummelling things with ROCKS
Dazai nullificates - strategy coordinator
Levi solitarysoul - marksman/sharpshooter
Ragna rebellions - wildcard
Ethlyn baldrshand - first aid/medic
Marianne snowslip - first aid/medic + offensive caster
Shinjiro drugsnotclubs - melee/tank
Yu izanagis - summon fighter
Yuja likethestars - all-rounder
Ryoji thanatoast - backline fighter/supporter
Yosuke garbagecanned - summon fighter
Med'an breakin_ur_lore - all-rounder
Kotone orphne - summon fighter (minor healer)
Bakugou detonating - bomber + aerial strategist(?)
Kotetsu "Tiger" earnedmystripes - fighter
Dara cursegod - support (maintaining barrier around Rumpitur farmland)
Vash skelters - sharpshooter, NON-fighter (rescuing others)
Izuku heroondecku - fighter

Please let me know if you've changed your mind about the above - and if anyone else would like to offer their support then that is welcome too! William will be very open about his taking the lead in the fighting to set an example. He'll also be screening to make sure no-one joins the fight that would actively try to harm others through doing so.

(That said, if anyone would ICly sabotage his efforts in some other way they're welcome to get in touch so we can discuss things.)

Hi I just got here but I am in! Toph will ICly throw herself into fights and be a little terror regardless of whether any coordination happens, but OOCly we can certainly figure out where she works best! She does not like being in/on the ocean but she can stand on the shore and launch glowy rocks at the thing ad infinitum. She is not at all intimidated by the size/scale.

[strength_of_will]

Sounds excellent! All good parties need long-range support, haha. Standing at the rear and hurling boulders and such at the enemy sounds like a good fit, and even if the front line breaks she's very versatile.

[fieldtrip]

Awesome sounds good to me!! Thanks!

[nullificates]

i can offer dazai as a strategic war coordinator and big brain!

[solitarysoul]

levi's in. hes a sharpshooter

[rebellions]

Ragna would be eager to participate in taking down the monster because he just wants to kill something and that thing seems like a fair target. Definitely not to help anyone, that's just silly. Also, there is no "I" in "team", so expect him to do his own thing without caring about anyone's strategy or shit like that LOL

[baldrshand]

FIRST AIDER HERE she will bring along bandages and iodine and splints and her healing staff

[snowslip]

If Ethyln's mobilizing her healing troupe, Marianne will be coming along! She's a healer and mage.

Shinjiro would be totally down for revenge and round two of fucking up this monster's day....! He's is a melee fighter and decent enough tank. Can also summon one of those cool Persona brain-monsters for added damage, though it hurts him to do because lmao JRPG costs.

[izanagis]

Now that Yu has his Personas back, he's very interested in being part of the fight. He might object to killing the creature ultimately, depending on how things go, but... he's in!!

[likethestars]

point yuja in a direction and she will do whatever is needed of her. that is to say she'll prob be helping eli and erich with rock but will also be happy to fight a monster

[strength_of_will]

Is it big because it's no thoughts head empty--

I'm kidding, William will welcome someone who can help with strategy lmao. William's strength lies more in coordinating on the field, so maybe Dazai can kind of coordinate the bigger picture? :|a

[strength_of_will]

/THUMBS UP

[strength_of_will]

Would he bother saying as much to William? I'm planning to put up a joint post between William and Erichthonios with their results on researching the taint/octopus minions soon just to share info ICly around so that's probably when he'd officially coordinate everyone's efforts.

Ragna's welcome to just randomly show up without any sort of warning and turn the fight chaotic of course, it's just so I know what to present to the mods later LMAO

[strength_of_will]

William will be very grateful she's helping ;u;

[strength_of_will]

Performing as a medic rather than a fighting mage, correct?

[strength_of_will]

A second tank!! Wonderful, William can do small buffs for people in his party so hopefully Shinjiro doesn't get too hurt...........

[strength_of_will]

I think William would be willing to try and go for a capture initially to respect that wish but he's definitely going to go for a kill if it looks like the creature can't be subdued easily. Would Yu be alright with that condition?

[strength_of_will]

They might very well need some kind of cage built since Yu wants to try and capture the creature so maybe she can help Elidibus and Erich with that before the fight?

[likethestars]

she can help with that

[izanagis]

Oh yeah that would be totally fine! Yu is mostly curious about the corruption on the big monster, and what might happen to its demeanor if they manage to cure it. If it's still a giant murder cthulu after the corruption is gone, he's all for murderizing it completely. He's got a bone to pick with it after all.

[strength_of_will]

After glancing at some ideas other people have had, do you think Toph would be able to earth-bend the glowing stones into some kind of cage or container to hold the big monster in? Yu would like to try and capture it and study it, it seems, and Toph seems the best candidate to prepare this as an option before the big fight.

[fieldtrip]

She is definitely capable of it if given enough time and materials, but someone would have to talk her into it. Her instinct is 100% to take down the giant sea monster cold, not make a giant glowy cage for it, haha.

[drugsnotclubs]

HERE'S HOPING??? but if it happens it happens like its ok he has no self respect. :']

He can at least do a slow Regen and sometimes his persona counters back hits, so!! GONNA BEAT THIS THING WITH AXE, CHOP OFF TENTACLES

[snowslip]

She can do both! She has offensive spells and training as a fighting mage
