[OPEN] Mission 156
Characters: Open to participants who signed up here.
Location: Lake Tahoe, CA
Rating: Various.
Time: March 27th, late morning.
Description: The second of the three Madness emitters outside Death City is the target for this mission. Bundle up, everyone -- it's gonna be a cold one.
The mission begins late in the morning, to allow the mission-goers as much sunlight as possible in the warmest part of the day. Not that it'll help much… Temperatures are well below freezing already -- unnatural even for early Spring in the mountains -- and a howling snowstorm threatens to blot out the sun, beginning up the mountain where the slope just begins to rise sharply.
The slopes themselves are fairly barren: a windswept-looking tree here, a cabin that may have once belonged to the snow patrol there, maybe a Madness-crazed bear or mountain lion. Those braving the storm are lucky enough to see five feet in front of their face in these conditions!
Those brave few who manage to make it to the top (enduring falling temperatures and defeating the corrupted fauna and hulking kishin yeti along the way) may come across their goal at the very summit of the half-mile-high mountain: the Madness emitter itself, in the eye of the storm… And one last obstacle: the Witch guarding it.

"It is dangerous for you to be this far out without your partner," Tassadar warned before momentarily turning his attention to the surrounding areas. The wind was making it difficult for him to see anything, but that didn't mean he was helpless. No, he could still sense that there was something out there. "I have been tracking a creature in this area before discovering your location. It is not safe."
no subject
The mention of a creature being around instantly put Gray on high alert. He was fairly certain that he could handle the lesser Madness-crazed animals, like he had back in the cave. But from the sound of it, a kishin egg was much harder to handle alone.
no subject
The snow caked on his golden armour as he stood tall against the elements. Calm blue eyes glowed softly as he stretched out his mind to search for what appeared to be stalking them. It was then that he reached out with one hand, as if to show the human not to make a move, as his words rolled around within the young human's mind.
"It is stalking us," Tassadar warned, his gaze drifting around the surrounding area as he tried to pick up on the faint sounds of snow crunching beneath whatever beast lay just outside of sight. "The creature waits for us to move, and then it will strike."
But just what was it? The whipping wind made it difficult to discern whether it was a kishin egg or now, but he focused what he could on the creature to fill that void of information hopefully before it was too late.
[ooc: do we want it to be a kishin egg or madness monsters? :D ]
no subject
Whatever, whoever this guy was, his senses seemed to be better than Gray's now, so Gray reluctantly realized that the situation could turn serious at any moment and it wasn't the time to refuse assistance. He turned so that he was standing back to back with Tassadar, scanning the blindingly white landscape as best he could.
Training in a similarly snowy climate in his childhood had led to encounters with dangerous creatures sometimes, although nothing on this scale. Gray strained his eyes to look for tell-tale moving outlines, rather than relying on color to differentiate his surroundings.
Something caught the corner of his eye and Gray glanced in that direction. "Over there. Something's moving." He still couldn't quite tell what it was, but at least they had a general idea of where.
No problems at all! I'm rather slow myself as it is :)
It had moved upwind in order to remain undetected, which meant that it was far smarter than the madness crazed beasts they had faced below. Tassadar didn't hide that fact from the young human either, and without hesitation, he turned to face where the branches were shifting just off in the distance.
"This creature holds far too much intelligence for it to be maddened by the wavelength," he observed, and while his main attention was focused in front, the templar still keep his surroundings within his notice.
Then it was there coming through the branches. It was a creature as tall as he was with a body covered with thick white fur in order to keep it warm. He had seen many kishin eggs since his arrival here, but none had the appearance quite like this one did. Yet the stench was undeniable to Tassadar's keen sense.
"Are you a Meister or a Weapon?" He asked. Depending on the answer would depend on their course of action.
no subject
It... really was bizarre-looking. He had never seen a kishin egg before now, and had only gone off descriptions of huge monsters from other people. The glinting teeth and claws detracted from the fluffy appearance of the thing, and the whole situation gave him a bad feeling in general.
"Are you a Meister?" he asked back, ready to either transform either way, whether it would be his arm or his whole body. If the other guy unluckily happened to be a Weapon as well, Gray could at least get a good solid hit in before being forced to retreat.
And if he happened to be a Meister... Gray wasn't particularly thrilled to try resonating with a complete stranger who didn't even seem human, but under duress like this, he'd take whatever he could get.
no subject
"I am a Meister," the templar offered while moving to stand alongside the much smaller male. The Kishin Egg saw the threat, and Tassadar wasn't in the least bit surprised when the beast snarled and began to rapidly close the distance between them. Holding out his large hand, the once-Executor stated, "We either fight together or retreat, the choice is yours."
in which i don't know how this should work OTL
If he was asked to describe their resonance, Gray would have said something like 'tentative'. They didn't know each other, and were only brought together by circumstance. But it was better than nothing. Calm and confidence flowed from Gray through their link as he focused squarely on the kishin egg.
Let's go.
This is fine! :D
Their resonance was to be expected, and the templar never once allowed the heavy weight of the weapon to slow him down. It was just fortunate that there was no actual pain, and that all he had to concern himself over as a weapon that was near twice the weight that it should have been.
"Terrie Khala!" He called out as he sprung into action. Tassadar moved effortlessly over the ground, covering it just as quickly as the incoming beast, before he crouched and leapt high over the creature's head. He twisted elegantly over the beast and used the momentary distraction to bring the lance down to impale the creature's shoulder.
no subject
But it worked.
A puzzled thought was spared for the briefest of moments as Tassadar called out some words that were foreign to Gray, but the moment passed and the fight began in earnest. The lance sunk into the kishin egg almost effortlessly, the literally cold-as-ice tip of the lance only accentuating the damage.
He had been able to manifest actual ice on the practice dummy, Gray remembered. Focusing energy through his Weapon form, Gray tried to repeat the act; it would definitely help a lot if they managed to freeze the kishin egg.
