Stage 3 - RESCUING HARRISON
He heard the crunch of ice as Harrison went through, all of it happening way too fast to think. But he didn't need to think, only react. Some things were IMPORTANT. His other hand seized Harrison's jacket, and in a single heave of effort, he threw his back into it and hefted the other man out of the icy water. Too close. Too ******** close.
"Not. ********" he grunted, catching his breath for just a second from the near death double whammy, cheek against Harrison's chest before reluctantly releasing him, turning to eye the still ******** away tent.
Gotta keep moving.

Step 3 Redux: ((Yeah you roll that 5, Otto))
Cautious not to be a victim to the icy water, and be of any sort of burden to anyone, Otto leapt onto a part that was less likely to crack under his weight.

Oh, goddamnit. She'd been so careful, or so she'd THOUGHT--
The distinct sound of swiftly splintering ice proved Clerise wrong. Hurrying up, the redhead tried to beat the ice, which only worked further against her, the additional weight proving too much for the frozen land to bear.
Clerise slipped under, flailing all the while. "******** you, ice! ANYONE WANT TO SAVE ME." ********. IT was cold.
SO COLD.

STEP 2: RESCUE - LIFE SKILL GET!
"s**t!" Cass was immediately backstepping in her pace. Rescue? Well, it was Clerise's mission, so it was probably to her advantage to keep their leader alive, after all.
The mist didn't waste a moment to grab the older woman with both hands, leaning back with all her weight to pull her forward. "I got ya!" she grinned behind her scarf-mask, but never the less, it seemed that this time they'd been a bit more unlucky overall than she would have liked.

Step 3 - success
Clerise spluttered, clambering up onto steadier ground. "Thanks," she wheezed, breathless. She tried to shake off the cold, but it was seeping into her bones like chilled molasses. "You're a lifesaver, I owe you."
After taking a brief moment to warm herself up, Clerise surged onwards, proceeding to the next area.
"Just a little further to the harpoons!" she called out to the group, trying to focus on the excitement of using one of those sexy, sexy machines again.
Block out the frigid weather. Block out that Balthazar still isn't back. Block out the fact that you are soaking from the waist down and NOT in a fun way.
Clerise grinned with sheer determination.

Step 3 - DROWNING, OH GOD!!
"Well, I know you'd get me if it was me, right?" Cass laughed before she moved, taking a few steps forward before -
Crunch
"Oh shi-"
Cass was swearing a lot on this mission as the ice gave out from underneath her and she immediately crashed through the ice and began to sink with a loud and high pitched noise of cold and YIKELDKFSJD:LK!!

Well, s**t. Leave no man behind, right? Or woman? Or tiny girl who had just saved your a**?
Clerise turned to go back for Cass and--
Oh, you have got to be KIDDING ME. The ice gave way again, crackling beneath her feet. "Guys! Need some help over here!"

Harrison breathed again, albeit through a very soggy scarf. Everything was icing up. He allowed himself one grateful, meaningful stare at Rep, grabbing on to him while Rep put his boots on more solid ice. They released each other. Rep looked over at the tents. Harrison looked at the harpoons. "SQUID," he yelled, over the wind, pointing at them. He tried to find his teammates. Otto, okay. Cass...missing. s**t. Clerise- He'd be right back.Harrison went around the thin ice he'd just crashed through, grabbing Clerise's arm and yanking her backwards onto more solid stuff. Using: Moon Powrs

A large black shape loomed in almost slow-motion underneath Clerise and Cass. It was only warning before a single coil, a rippling mass of shadows burst from the ice, shards flying every direction along with a spray of chill salt water.
Chaos in all directions.
The most notable problem was the large very much tentacle-like appendage of the shadowy-creature, the branch of the titan that attempted to drag Cass into the water, coils that split into thousands of small, shadowy filaments grabbing onto her legs, pushing her down.
For the rest of the trainees it would be the sudden lurch and crack of the ice as it caved and pushed forward from the impact, literally sending them flying all directions. Thankfully, this also meant closer towards their target, the harpoon that only lay several feet ahead. Hopefully one of them remembered how to use it from their last Antarctic mission.
The problem however, was several issues that had to be addressed. The harpoon itself was slipping precariously as well on the now-slanted ice It needed to be steadied in order for someone to launch it, which required at least two people. However, Cass needed immediate help as well: at least an offensive group to try and stop her from drowning.
It was a decision that needed to be made in seconds. They needed someone to tell them how to move now. A leader. OOC - The tentacle has 25 HP. Normal attack mechanics apply, it needs to be killed THIS ROUND, otherwise Cass WILL drown. Attacks are unlimited on the creature until it dies. Cass unfortunately however, CANNOT attack as she is immobilized by you know, drowning. -HOWEVER. The harpoon needs to be manned too. Two people need to maintain the harpoon. If the harpoon does not successfully skewer the boss, it will simply flee with its "prize"! One person needs to rp "steadying" the harpoon device, the second needs to "launch" it. Once they have done so through rps, they need to keep it steady throughout the battle for the other players fighting/ freeing Cass (simple RP is enough for this part)

TENTACLES AGAIN!!
WHYYYYYY TENTACLES AGAIN??!?
Cass made a garbled noise as she was flailed around, managing to take one last frantic breath before she was pulled underwater. Cold. It was the first feeling that engulfed her senses was that she was cold, and her mind raced while the world went everywhere around her.
Stay calm.
Nicodemus's presence brushed over her, making her focus on the most important thing of all: Not actually drowning in the situation she was in. Because this really sucked.

Fortunately for Clerise, Handsome had come to her rescue.
Unfortunately for Cass, that didn't get the redhead any closer to the Mist trainee.
But there was no time to think. Not with the way they'd been flung around, hurdling across the pale wintry sky.
"CASS!" Clerise grunted as she landed, rolling as she did. She was NOT about to fall in. AGAIN. FOR A THIRD TIME.
Plus, there was a girl that needed saving. Faintly, Clerise thought in the back of her mind, another thought:
Marcus was going to murder her if she ruined that wedding.
Clerise sprung into action. She jabbed a finger at Rep, yelling in his direction him over the sound of tentacles smacking against breaking ice. "REP. Kill that ******** TENTACLE." She turned to Otto, pointing at him too.
"PRODIGY. Help him the ******** out. We have calamari to fry." Finally, she turned to the blonde Moon trainee. "Handsome, you're helping me work this ******** harpoon. It's you or itty bitty deathy. MOVE." Even as Clerise yelled her instructions, she was dashing the last few meters towards the harpoon. Its mechanics flooding her mind as the acrobat finally made her way to the machinery, turning it online.
Using it before had been like flying through the air on a trapeze: something exhilarating and not easily forgotten.
There was still an endless amount of stress wrapped around Clerise's heart-- but there would be time for angst LATER. Now, it was time to make sure she wasn't responsible for a hunter's DEATH. Maybe her instincts weren't entirely dead after all.

Harrison had hauled those harpoons up and down Antarctica, so he was familiar with the weight. Which, thanks to runic technology, wasn't too bad.
Defending people or defending equipment, both fell within his job description. And they needed to deal with the squid or Cass would have to worry about a lot worse than drowning.
He, too, tried not to think about what he'd say to Marcus if they didn't come back with her. This was Clerise's call. He put B0nez in his sash, gripping the harpoon's rope and straining to get it away from the slippery, cracking edges of the ice and closer to the tents.

Tentacle: 22
Damage: 3
Charge: 1/3
While Otto was trained to avoid danger, the rest of the team did not seem so lucky. All of them were falling victim to the fragile ice. One after another, and some more than others. One would get free, another would fall. Were it not for the freezing conditions it might have been funny.
Until a tentacle arrived, knocking them all back and dragging Cass under the water.
Well s**t.
The small teen's heart tightened, not sure how this was going to go down, until Clerise took on her role as leader and dished out orders. Getting a hold of himself, he summoned Tenya and chucked it at the tentacle.

Tenya swopped through the air, returning to Otto's grasp. No sooner did he catch it, he spun in one full circle and tossed it again, never letting the inertia of her speed slow down.
