Mission Update

[lucetimods]

Third Floor Revisited - Begins 22nd
Selected Volunteers: Shikamaru (field leader), Tony Stark (hacker), Mia (healer), Tear (healer), Melaka, Sheik, Kazooie, Freyjadour, Caius, Joshua Bright, Jubei, and Leonhardt

I've bumped this latest one up to twelve people. Another mission will be up for next month, but I'm going to hold off posting it. The missions are still a work in progress, so I'm working on finding the right pace for them to keep them relevant and fun.

As before, you may use this post to plot and discuss! The log will go up either tonight or tomorrow morning.

OH ALSO

I am thinking Tony's Iron Man armor would make him the safest candidate to hold onto the bomb.

Besides that, though, which two or three characters would you like to make the final strike on the heart to get it in/keep it open long enough for the job?

Not her kind of thing. I imagine Mia in all of this using up all of her concentration on keeping everyone alive. Tank or sword-types would work better I think?

[endgames]

Agreed on that. I could have Shikamaru use his shadow abilities to keep it pried open if need be too, but I think we got a few tank characters better up for that job.

[frost_jewel]

Every good mission needs a tank. Didn't you know?

Mia just said the word 'troublesome' in a tag they are going to get along great.

There's also one of Leonhardt's shadows. They are strong and durable and any hits to them won't do a thing to him. So he's probably an ideal candidate to do one of those things just because it can be done safely in that manner.

[endgames]

Possibly! He may also be one of the best candidates to hold off the creatures attacks while they try to get to the heart because of that too, though. Then again, he can make multiple shadows, can't he?

...they remind me of shadow clones in Naruto, I am amused.

[eyesofstrength]

Yep, he can make a bunch of them easily. And actually comparing them to the kage bunshin justu is pretty accurate, except they last longer than one hit before vanishing. In fact they have nearly 40K HP in canon when an average hit does about 2-3K HP damage.

...I could possibly volunteer Joshua for planting the bomb once the opportunity presents itself? He's likely to be a bit exhausted by that point, but he should still be more than fast enough to have reasonably little trouble with that. Not to mention that he has a fair bit of experience with setting up explosives, so that might speed things up a bit as well.

Though if anyone else would prefer to handle that, I'm definitely okay with that, too. o/

[accepted]

Wild tank or sword type appeared! He's up for keeping the heart open if need be, but he can fend off all the creepy creepy zombies and stuff too. ...There are probably better swordy/tanky types than him here to handle the heart actually. :|a

In regards to injuries I'm cool for Caius to get his ass handed to him by poison, zombie, tentacle, so on. Providing he makes it out alive in some state. Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger after all~

[frost_jewel]

You are far too adorable not to help okay. The cute ones always make it just fine - ask Ivan!

[accepted]

Ffffuh more people who think he's adorable. He's not adorable at all and he can totally take all these zombies on like a man, or a really cool half beast half human teenager thing!

[talontrot]

I think Kazooie might be useful, if only to throw herself backwards Wonderwinged into the heart's vicinity with whoever it is on her back so that the person can shove the bomb into the heart.

... Yeah, it'll look ridiculous, but perfect invincibility!

[makeitquick]

Melaka's probably got the most endurance of anyone here when it comes to just her physical state, to be honest. That said, between clones and barriers and speed, other people might well be more suited to delivering final blows. Still, as to not discredit a Slayer heritage, she can hold things off/kill zombies with more than the best of them.

[alloys]

Tony will be happy to hold onto the bomb. He knows how to handle them properly, and will probably actually insist on it, being the weapons specialist he is. He'd also be more than happy to launch it into the heart of that thing. I'm sure he can finagle it a way to launch it from his armor, actually, to get it in there fast and quick while it's open. So, there's my bit!
