EMERGENCY ROSE GATHERING OF WITS

[finalbows]

WHO: Roses (guests???)
WHERE: Rose Barn
WHEN: right after jade got eelnapped

Angel Devil has swept all the notes off the Wall of Madness, and immediately starts fresh. Assume all comments are notes he's writing unless otherwise.. uh.. noted

Comments

NECESSARY

[finalbows]

disable hostiles edge of pasture - lighthouse?

navigate mushrooms - Float

1 weed - non negotiable. Apple 🍎 TART STOLE THE APPLE

sunflower - 1, minimum, per individual. Prefer more but high demand. Rose small #; argue for standard allotment per flock? SUNFLOWERS SECURED

orientation - solved if we recover shepherd staff along with leviathan

blood samples - for limbus, stored safe place safe person all who go out

OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY SUGGESTED
field test if stored blood works beyond pasture? If not, Skip this. Observe other flocks. May not be time. should have tested months ago
blood - for healing self
rose blood specifically - healing captive waste of time

TRAJECTORY?

[finalbows]

[ he draws a very rough map of the pasture, the barns all notated. Scribbles to show the mushroom danger zone. And draws colored lines to show the direction each person was visibly dragged off toward, with an arrow at the end ]

MUSHROOMS

[finalbows]

Float spell? Easy but only 4ft up max unless combine other. Danger distance of spores?

- masks

- get rid of somehow? Float easier

ENEMIES

[finalbows]

Avoid melee range at all costs. Avoid BITES at all costs. Do not ingest enemy. Do NOT!!! use darkness-aligned magic or abilities. Kill individuals swiftly, prevent merges. Stragglers are eaten, create larger threats. Flock powers Nil. Rely on own

ENEMY FORCE INTELLIGENT. Disabled Stormy, launched surprise attack after ritual concluded. Sensed burst of energy from demon? Armed with "NIGHTMARE SMOKE" ('natural resource'??? What the h IS that)

Protect spell on each Rose + Weed. Reflect? reflect ONLY if enemies attack at range; will make healing more difficult.

DEATH / THE EYE

[finalbows]

Claws forcing eye open. All deaths final until amended. Solve first? Split forces? Other flocks trying to do also. What tried? Dramatic measures?

LIGHTHOUSE?

[finalbows]

Daffodil laserpower strikes. Notations already done, usable with coaching. Strike at creature on perimeter? Burn mushrooms?

[poisonista]

[ Just brought over Epel and is going to get a blanket around him and have him sit somewhere comfy. Rubato might be coming over too.

Blinking at notes, though. ]

... oh dear.

[effeminoxious]

What the hell?

LIMBUS SUPPLIES?

[finalbows]

last heard was low

- store blood. What was formula for use?

Re: LIMBUS SUPPLIES?

[wants_the_phd]

Some folks went and got more limbus, so we're good on that front, at least.

IF SOMEONE'S BITTEN

[finalbows]

- bite infection speed: if not instant turn amputate, keep limb if can for study of infection, potential cleansing, re-attachment

- if turn unavoidable cannot amputate sedate IMMEDIATELY, COMPREHENSIVELY

SEDATIVES

[finalbows]

[ angel devil has drawn a crude but recognizable facsimile of Azdaja's smiling face and circled it three times ] WORKS ON WEREWOLVES CONFIRMED. Bottle?

- sleep spells

Azdaja's smiling face, circled

[wants_the_phd]

[finalbows]

[ takes a break to bury his little fluffy monkey head into an empty patch of wall ]

Ughhhhh, if Shadow Fiend was still here we'd at least have a bead on him through the staff...!

WHO'S GOING

[finalbows]

[ after epel asked, he makes a point to make this section. Sign your names, gang!! ]

- Angel Devil
- Belle's Weed Mi Friend

Re: WHO'S GOING

[effeminoxious]

It's Apple.

AFTER GETTING STABBED AND HEALED

[poisonista]

[ Returns after a bit- ]

Apple's been taken by Tart, we'll have to get another Weed.


[ Ignore the blood flecks on his pants leg. His arms are also full of sunflowers. ]

[wants_the_phd]

My only combat abilities are all melee and most of it involves putting things in my mouth, so I'm not going to be very good in a fight. I can run faster than a human, at least, and can probably carry one or two people provided we can find some way of keeping people from getting hurt in the process.

I can give you some venom to take with you but it only works if you can inject it or get it in a wound. I wish Fafnir were still here... he had darts he could shoot from a firearm.

Does everyone have blood stored away?

[finalbows]

How's your turn radius?

[electricflock]

[...a distant tap-tap-tap noise, like something rapping on an upstairs window...]

[finalbows]

[ MONKEY CLIMBS UP when no one is looking directly at him ]

A plan?

[finalbows]

[ after this cubecall, ]

Zenith and I agree that Leviathan and Sonata are like to be in the same place, so I suggest we mold our efforts to complement Clover's. They have a guide-- a member of that... ghastly parade of beasts you all showed up with, that's going to help them navigate.

We'll depart after they've had a head start, and then follow a trail-- a scent trail, because I know how sharp you are with them, Azdaja. This way, we aren't meandering blindly in the mist...

...and we'll be able to pool our efforts to attack the enemy force. Leviathan might be in no fit state when we find him, too, so it's to our benefit that Zenith is with us for the return trip in terms of getting back.

All we need now... is a Weed.

Re: A plan?

[wants_the_phd]

I can ask around and see if I can find a willing weed.

This probably goes without saying, but can you fight at your normal strength like that, Quetzal?

What about you, Belle, did you ever get your mage stone from red?

WHAT'S NEXT

[finalbows]

[ ...Angel Devil scribbles this bit off in a corner after the plan's been solidified: ]

- hostages could be distraction lure us out of our element. Most high power forces leaving pasture. Goal? Pick us off in mist?
-- strike while pasture emptied? 🎯 fountain? 🎯 barns? Crystal flower? Blossom? She's on her own ♡
--- lock up barn when leave with something nasty on front door
(Belle curse? Maybe better elsewhere. Unaware limits curse use)

[jerkalope]

[ on Rose's door there is a rapping

a little noise of tapping, tapping

outside on the gentle pasture slope

should you open and go to stare

looking left or right to thin air

it's knee height, the jackalope ]

Yo~ Apple sent me.

[wants_the_phd]

[There's some jangling at the doorknob before it creaks open to reveal a dragon with a lavender-colored capuchin climbing up its neck. Both are wearing red collars.]

Did he?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock]

[poisonista]

[ Opens door. ]


Crescendo. Hello. Did you need anything?
