IN THE FOREST OF THE LOST

it's all too perfect.

Leanan Sidhe casts Psio on Izou (10) and just barely misses- maybe it's because she's getting worn down a bit.

Meanwhile, Bugbear is getting the stuffing beaten out of it. It's looking kinda ragged, and decides to use Life Drain on Aubrey... but totally beefs it.

[emptyself]

[ ok the damage is beginning to wear down at soujuurou, which means that he unfortunately whiffs the kick to the leanan sidhe (6). izou's tits being on fire distracted him or whatever. ]

[supherb]

S-Sorry, guys…

[Let him fix his mistake and provide some healing. Media is used on Soujuurou, Izou and Joshua.]

[cirquedesang]

[The fire must be distracting, because Celeste attempts to hit both enemies with a Maeiga, but whiffs it against the Leanan Sidhe (1), and barely hits the Bugbear (12)......]

[goei]

[Izou is NOT covering them up, but perhaps because the dregs of his top are getting in his way, he just barely whiffs his retaliatory strike at bugbear (10)]

Don't throw shit at me!!

[moodwrecker]

Ugh, go away already!

[Aubrey tries for another Mabufula - this time hitting the Leanan Sidhe (12) even if she misses the Bugbear (4)]

[finalmix]

[ honestly when joshua picks himself up (with some help from arven's heal) finally he's pissed.

not at celeste though. brainwash does weird things.

but he's pissed off enough that he 100% is looking to take it out on a target and the leanan sidhe is getting a kouga (16) to the face. ]

Now you've made me angry.

[cleansewithfire]

[ Sunrise would like this to be over before more brainwashing shenanigans can happen.

...So of course she tries to stab the Leanan Sidhe with her bayonet but proceeds to beef it (2). ]

[ledbythewind]

[Looks like Richard will also be joining the "Nailed It" crew with this (9)...]

[beathollow]

... B-breather round for everyone...

Leanan Sidhe is as tired of this as you all are, though. She casts Marin Karin, inflicting Aubrey with BRAINWASH.

Bugbear, meanwhile, has it out for Soujuurou as much as he does the bear. So it's swiping it's heavy claws again, but barely misses (9).

[supherb]

[Arven’s getting so worn out by this, even he’s joining in on attacking.]

Just die already!

[He uses Turn Up the Heat and flings a fireball out of his frying pan straight at Leanan Sidhe (17).]

[strawsandals]

[ Y'all good? No? Okay, have some help...

Yoon uses Dragon's Claw (17) to swipe at Bugbear before he walks back out. You got this, he's got Mafuyu's items to guard... ]

[supherb]

Yoon?!

[—oh, there he goes.]

[cirquedesang]

[Yeah this is getting ridiculous... (thanks, Avrae--)

Finally, Celeste decides to go with a physical attack and lands a Giant Slice (15) on Leanan Sidhe.]

[goei]

[Even with the monsters getting worn down, Izou is STILL unable to land a hit!

In his frustration he rips off what's left of his top, and is now properly shirtless.]

[moodwrecker]

[Like a puppet with its strings cut, Aubrey goes slack for a moment, the light leaving her eyes... only for her to turn on Sunrise, hitting her with a Giant Slice (12)]

[cleansewithfire]

[ It probably says a lot that Sunrise's reaction to this is surprised but without an ounce of fear. Honestly the fact that it kind of hurts is more troublesome than anything, because Sunrise finds herself missing when she could take something like and not be bothered by it.

She looks at where she's starting to bleed.]

Ms. Aubrey?

[moodwrecker]

[She has no response - only staring with an unusual coldness, her gaze icy and devoid of the fiery compassion from before.]

[ledbythewind]

[The logical thing for Richard to do would be to cast Energy Shower to clear that Brainwash from Aubrey.

But all logic goes out the window when he sees her attacking Sunrise, and so he'll aim a rapier slash (6) at her to get her to stop.

It's not very effective...]

[moodwrecker]

[Haha get rekt dude]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Oh no. ]

Mr. Richard, please do not...

[idealitas]

[ Okay delinquent pinky you've had your fun.

Yi Sang cleanses the Brainwash off with Energy Shower. ]

[emptyself]

[ this shit is personal now. he’s so tired of bears.

have a punch to the sternum (18), you overgrown teddy bear. ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Sunrise is now extra done with the brainwashing and this time her Magarula hits both of them (17, 13). ]

[beathollow]

...

Both Leanan Sidhe and Bugbear die, fading to smoke and ash.



The forbidden treats- bgs of sugar cookies, hot cocoa, apple tea and... familiar sandwiches all wait behind the curtain. Instinctually, you know that they're different from the food here.

Consuming any of these items will give a full heal.

One of the shadows has also left behind a simple black box.
