[Forward-dated: Monday afternoon] [Tower Boss #2]

[allurprincess]

Characters: Anyone facing the Firebird.
Format: Whatever you like!
This log is: open
Location: Conquest campus, starting from the tower plaza and spreading outwards.
Summary: As the Conquest Tower opens, the island enters its second boss battle. Read this if you're confused.
Warnings: Fire.

[ This battle is nowhere near as surprising as the arena wyrm's attack, but there's something fundamentally terrifying about globs of fire raining down on you from the sky that that last one didn't have. Whilst the buildings, with their sudden blue sheen, seem immune to the flames, the Players and Weapons outside of them are a tad more exposed.

The firebird is content to make regular, swooping passes at the fighters, which whilst dangerous due to its talons, puts it within range of the melee weapons. It isn't very fast, and is forced to avoid the roofs of the campus in its attacks. Its fire is only dangerous when it's directly overhead. ]

[ Sora, as a melee fighter, is waiting in its path to slash at its legs on its attacks.

This is both brave and really stupid so someone should probably give her tactical advice ]

[stoppedhiding]

[ Having no idea what to do with them, Golbez has given Suzaku his own slash harkens to use and is wielding only Lelouch's sword. As before, he's given his own Lightning Rod ring to Lelouch to wear. The flames are too widespread for him to draw them completely, but it's at least better than nothing.

Whenever the beast dips close enough, he's on it like white on rice.

Also available for last-minute vows from Conquest discards :x ]

[sobsprite]

[She planned on staying away, but something drew her to the battle anyway. She was no good at fighting, but yet here she was. Oh well. For some reason she felt like she should find Jade.]

[frozenmemories]

[Cirno just decided to charge straight into battle, not even worrying that she had not been vowed yet. She wanted to fight and make sure others didn't get hurt, not worrying about her own safety at all. She was flying in the air, throwing rocks at the beast as it swooped down.]

Come an' get some ya pain in the butt!

[ecthelion]

[Ein appears to have gotten lucky, as his (at this point) sole weapon has ranged water attacks. He'll stay on the ground, dodging or almost dodging the rain of fire as necessary.

He'd battled a phoenix before (and then later its Dark Progenitor counterpart), as well. This didn't look like it would get too much harder for him.

But if any Conquest discard recognizes or doesn't recognize him, he'll vow with them.]

[whitestknight]

[ using his own sword is something Flynn hadn't realise he'd missed until the previous round, but now it's almost familiar again. Since there are enough fighters, he's equipped Elemental Shot and is now concentrating on diverting it from the dorms with blasts of light.

Diverting it from the dorms, and from the people leaving them to join the fight, that is. ]

Look out!

[knightime]

Welp. Watching Sora being launched at a giant flaming bird and the two Jades going off in what is probably just as bad of an idea...

Seems like everything is going according to plan.

He had Britannia's sword in his hand. It was better to have upgrades and he was more comfortable with a sword. But this was all kind of useless unless he can get closer. Not sure if being launched was the right answer though.

[savedbyasong]

[Shion stared with fear at the fire bird, like the other monster he had never seen anything like it in his whole life. He held Becca's sword at his side not sure how good a sword of fire would do against a fire creature...

He glanced at Alex] Ready?

Open to anyone!

[veepofchess]

[So Lelouch is barking orders from the ground for those that would listen, conducting this battle as he would any other, only he's actually using names. He's also had to move aside as quickly as he could a few times to keep from being incinerated.

But suddenly he stops mid sentence. His eyes glaze over. And he collapses to the ground. And oh dear. There's a fireball headed his way. Someone ought to do something before he gets roasted.]
