Azusa kept her eyes moving as the group continued up the stairs toward the wailing. There isn't going to be much I can do against a ghost or anything that isn't physical in nature, she thought to herself, resting her finger on the trigger guard of her weapon. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, her precog E went off, showing her who was an enemy behind the door and what it looked like. "Banshee, door." Azusa pointed to the door that the wailing was coming from which shouldn't have been a surprise to the group that there was something there.

As the group entered the door and the gunshot went off Azusa put her weapon away and grabbing the rod and thinking of turning it into a copy of her M1911. Knowing that her attacks would go straight through it and hoped that this weapon would at least be able to hit the banshee. She move up 20 ft of their charge and then fired off two shots from the chimera weapon aimed aimed at the creatures head using Head shot.

Izuru
Mentions: Maxxob saxon
A gift

The sight of a mighty angry looking specter just made Izuru question if he'd even be able to do anything to this thing. However his payout depended on whether he could assist in the subjugation of this creature. Hence why he would endeavor to do at least enough damage that the others couldn't deny he helped in some way. Moving closer to Azusa and Giuseppe, Izuru tapped both his cane and the magic rod he got from Giuseppe over his head. Next he spoke a poem on the spot to get his magic flowing. As he was a poet by trade, this was the best way for him to get his powers to properly manifest. Izuru was a little wary of the fact he had been forced to get close enough to this thing that it might take a swing at him with little for him to do. His body had the weakest healing factor among the dragonkin he had met on his journey. If he messed up, he'd be too busy being dead to get any sort of healing in.

The siren song
A raven calls
Night sky shroud as darkness falls
Be still my heart
The shadows call
Tap that ass
So we won't fall

~'Nox'~

As the ethereal creature materialized before them, Nox's instincts kicked into overdrive. With a firm grip on her sword, she took a step forward, her aura beginning to envelop the spectral being. Her eyes remained fixed on the ghost, her expression resolute as she moved closer, closing the distance between them.

Despite the creature's otherworldly appearance and the primal instincts that often accompanied encounters with monsters, Nox felt no insatiable hunger stirring within her. It was a curious realization, one that she couldn't help but find intriguing. Perhaps it was the nature of the creature itself, what with it having no blood to consume, or maybe it was something deeper within her Moon-Blessed essence that recognized it as an aberration rather than prey. Regardless, at least she wasn't being swayed into a frenzy. Still the urge to destroy this creature was strong, and called to her.

Maintaining her focus, Nox continued to advance, her aura pulsating gently as she approached the ghost. She remained vigilant, ready to react to any sudden movements or hostile actions from the spectral entity. With her sword at the ready and her senses attuned to the eerie surroundings, she stood poised to confront whatever otherworldly threat lay before them.

"Good work Azusa. Guiseppe, stay within my aura. This monster may yet be capable of ranged attacks but at the very least with my aura present it can't recklessly attack you up close."

The Cove Battle Siren - Darkest Dungeon

Guiseppe Gasparo
​

Spoiler: Focus/Componentless and Steady Hands

Normally, Focus/Componentless of the same Grade of spells is necessary to move and cast spells in the same turn (among other uses). In a similar light, Steady Hands of the same Grade of a spell/precision ranged attacks/abilities (ie using Guns/Bow/Crossbows/Etc) is necessary to remove the necessity to use an action to aim and prevent base effectiveness penalties after the character moved. I am dismissing both as a necessity for the remainder of this RP.

Spoiler: Battle Calculations

Initial Applicable Considerations:
Guiseppe - Mana Missile - [Vorpal] ? - ? Base Effectiveness + 1 Extra Effectiveness from Azusa's warning
Marcus - Hunter's Toss - 6 Base Effectiveness + 1 Extra Effectiveness from Azusa's warning = 7
Kite - Inferno Blade - Elemental Affinity [Fire] F + Blight [Fire] F - 6 Base Effectiveness + 1 Extra Effectiveness from Azusa's warning = 7
Azusa - Headshot - [Non-Lethal] E - 10 Base Effectiveness + 1 Extra Effectiveness from Precog = 11 Base Effectiveness
Izuru - Sickboi Poetry - Elemental Affinity [Darkness] F - 8 Base Effectiveness + 1 Extra Effectiveness from Azusa's warning = 9
Nox - Penumbra - Blight [Holy] E + [Hot Shot] E + [Aura] E + [Incapacitating: Paralysis] E + [Vorpal] E + [Sixth Sense - Weakpoint Vision] + [Penetrating E] - 13 Base Effectiveness + 1 Extra Effectiveness from Azusa's warning = 14

Final Consideration:
Team-Up Attack - [Vorpal] ? + Blight [Holy] E + [Non-Lethal] E + [Hot Shot] E + [Aura] E + [Incapacitating: Paralysis] E + Elemental Affinity [Fire] F + [Sixth Sense - Weakpoint Vision] + [Selective] + [Penetrating E] - 19 Base Effectiveness + (2 true damage from [Aura] E + (if hit {2 damage from Blight [Holy] E}) * 2 = 4/8 damage if it is weak against Holy) = Possibility of 23/27 damage

The wraith, who had first been assaulted by Guiseppe's Mana Missile, was left wide-open for the follow-up attacks from the group despite, its ethereal nature. The creature would let out a loud, almost primal shriek as the first following attack struck it: Marcus' thrown spear had hit its mark, sinking into the creature's see-through chest and sticking into it, the whole length of the weapon, shaft and tip, now moving with it.

Next, Kite would move up to the creature, swinging his sword in a horizontal cut which was accompanied by a bright, flaming bite, which almost seen to disconnect part of the being's body for a moment, the dismembered parts burning, before it became whole once more.

Giving the creature no quarter, Azusa shifted her positioning before firing twice, aiming at the creature's head. To her surprise, the chalk bullets, instead of going through it, sank into the ethereal's being form, until the full length of the projectile was in it. The sound of the added gunfire, first by Guiseppe and next from Azusa, made an ominous breeze start to blow from somewhere at the back of the room.

Izuru's worries, as he approached the creature, while well-founded, did not come to reality. The creature was too stunned, at that singular moment, to attack him. As the words of the poem left his mouth, the dark elemental energy which was conjured forth, struck the wraith in its totality, the pitch-black hue of it, painting its body blueish black where its struck, before going back to its original color.

And with Nox, advancing enough for her bright and holy Moon-Blessed aura to reach the creature, the wraith recoiled greatly from the light, not exactly from the Fear that it might have caused against other beings. Letting out a deafening shriek this time around, which would let those with Heightened Sense [Hearing] momentarily deaf, which thankfully was no-one, making it move back (I6), the paralysis appearing to not force it still. Guiseppe followed Nox's lead, advancing to her side to keep himself in the aura she was providing around her.

However, before gaining distance from its attackers, a good part of the creature's body seemed to vanish into a mana cloud, making Marcus' spear fall on the ground where it stood previously (K6). Now, only the wraith's head, neck, shoulders and arms remained, its body floating accompanied by a ghastly wailing. The party's assault appeared to have left the ethereal being at the brink of death, yet its body immaterial body appeared to be steadily recomposing itself. It looked like, unless they finished off the creature quickly enough (2 rounds), all their efforts would be for naught.

Despite its weakened state, the wraith was able to launch counter-attack of its own. Moving its arms in the air, forming an arcanic sigil which, for a moment, appeared to engulf every bit of light that nibbled at its very corners, a massive sphere of energy was shot in an arc towards the party, threatening to engulf them if they didn't avoid it in some manner (AoE size represented as the red rectangle).

Spoiler: Nox's [Sixth Sense - Weakpoint Vision]

During her Penumbra, Nox's violet eyes didn't see any specific part of the creature's body which appeared to be vulnerable. She instinctively gathered, however, that her Holy damage had had massive impact against it.

Spoiler: Marcus' Parry

Following up the Hunter's Toss, when Marcus attempted to use his Parry, he felt a sharp poking pain in his stomach. While it wasn't enough to bring him to his knees, it was enough to make it impossible for him to carry out his technique. He was simply too exerted from using his Hunter's Toss Grade F to try and follow up with his Parry Grade F in such a short period of time.

The Manor​

I don't move how I like to.

It was of no surprise to him to unable to properly defend in such a short period of time. He hadn't moved nor been as mentally the capable since the day he'd been struck by lightning.

Yet in spite of this pain, he gained some satisfaction to see the creature pounded by an onslaught of attacks. The creature screamed out in blood-curdling anguish, yet it found no sympathy in the man at arms heart. Indeed, such a sign of weakness from the creature only drove him forward. "Take it's head." He said, uttering only 3 syllables as he sought to reinforce the wills of his comrades and goad them to show no hesitation in sending back the ethereal monster from where it came.

Sigils appeared. An attack was coming What sort? He did not know. "Incoming!" Marcus yelled. Not panicked, but brief enough to be processed and loud enough to be clear. He suspected he wasn't fast enough to properly dodge it, so he stuck with what he knew.

SHING

The sword begins to sing, already on the move. A ball of energy was lobbed in their direction and Marcus instinctively swung his sword at it in a practiced motion. Marcus had long seen his fair share of Fae arrows fired from brush in his general direction, and thus, he was repeating the same motion to meet [Intercept F] this projectile. The air distorted as his blade swung, wind able to be visibly felt by those near him. A slight alteration was made in that he hit with the flat of the blade -- a split second adjustment for the nature of the porjectile. The ideal was to swat the projectile to the other side of the room, but Marcus would be lucky enough to mitigate the ensuing blast.

After the swing, he shields his face [Defend] in anticipation of spill off. He takes a defensive, bladed stance -- meeting the explosion with his shoulder to give it less surface area. [Defend]

Actions 3/3
1. Intercept - Fighting Style: Slayer's Sword F, Deflect F, Perception F - Marcus is capable of intercepting single, physical projectiles through skill, practice and physical prowess. This ability is limited in some regards. For one thing, Marcus must be looking at the target and focusing on it in order to deflect it. He cannot do this while fighting someone else or if someone shoots him in the back. Moreover, he cannot intercept multiple projectiles at once. -Grade F - 0 Post Cooldown. (Effectiveness = Artifact (Arming Sword Form) 8 + Deflect F = 9+2 From Combo = 11)
2. Defend - Marcus shields his face with his armored arm. (Effectiveness = Vitality D + Armor F = 4 ) (Combo Bonus With Action 1)
3. Defend - Marcus reorients his body, facing the explosion with his shoulder and providing it less surface. (Effectiveness = Vitality D + Armor F = 4 ) (Combo Bonus With Action 1)

Current Position: Position M7

Kite Vanzanth


Kite saw the creature recoil and excitement swelled inside him at the thought of winning this fight, but it was soon crushed when he realized there was more to come. He moved from his location and rushed the specter once again, trying to finish it off before it recovered.

He lunged forward once in range and shot the tip of his sword toward the neck of the howling monster in an attempt to silence it for good, hoping whatever allowed him to cause damage was still in effect.

Once he pulled back his blade after his attack he moved back away from the creature to create some distance, panting softly from all the excitement.

~'Nox'~

As the wraith recoiled from the holy aura emanating from her sword, Nox couldn't help but notice its vulnerability to the pure light of her Moon-Blessed essence. Sensing an opportunity to capitalize on its weakness, she wasted no time in seizing the moment.

With a swift dash forward, Nox closed the distance between herself and the wraith, her aura condensing into her sword as she prepared for a devastating strike. As she reached striking distance, she raised her blade high above her head, channeling the concentrated energy of her aura into the weapon.

With a powerful downward slash, Nox brought her sword crashing down towards the wraith's remaining form, aiming to cleave through its ethereal body with the force of her Moon-Blessed might. The blade, imbued with holy energy, sliced through the air with a sharp crack, its radiant glow illuminating the darkness of the room as it descended upon the spectral creature.
