Mist Hunter
The Miss Taken Tower



  • Part 1
    Mechanics
    - roll your regular attack
    - roll your regular attack again
    - if you miss an attack, you lose 50% of your full HP
    - if you have an available recovery bonus, you may try to use that to avoid HP loss

    Bonus Mechanics
    - This bonus is consumable.
    - for the Mist Course, it is recommended you review the mechanics of the other division courses, as the division bonuses carry over.

    - Trainees: 0 recoveries
    - Mist/Sun Trainees: 1 recovery
    - Hunters: 1 recovery
    - Mist/Sun Hunters: 2 recoveries


  • Part 2
    Mechanics
    - there are two steps worth of traps in this room, so you'll be rolling twice

    - roll 1 d10 to determine what your character is about to step into
    - use your bonus mechanic to adjust as you can
    - adjust your HP and bonus count accordingly
    - roll 1 d10 to determine what your character is about to step into
    - use your bonus mechanic to adjust as you can
    - adjust your HP and bonus count accordingly
    - roll list: (feel free to get creative about what the traps actually were)
    (-50% HP is off your full HP, so if you hit -50% twice, then you are 100% KO'd)

Clerise glanced about the tower, pondering what princess she'd have today.

Gale had been unnerving enough, so for her own sake, she hoped it'd be someone less disconcerting. Princess Gale had been...downright distracting. With his insistence on getting tea, playing tea party, and all other manners of...

Things. Let us not even speak of the swooning he had done.

Until then, she was up against the shadowlings, much she had been in the Sun training course. You can do this, Clerise Nicole.

{[ It's dreadfully easy. ]}

The redhead grit her teeth, summoning him, charging into the fray instead of answering him. She let Balthazar rest against an ankle as she did a spinning kick, deciding to take the chance to use shadowlings as her audience for new moves.

They couldn't laugh at her when she failed, after all--They just killed her. Much nicer.

It had been successful, at least. The little shadowy bastards were dead, at least.

Or dissipated? There sure were a lot of them hanging around. She tried another fancy pants move, sliding him around her waist and essentially hip checking a wall of shadowlings.

She had no shame, okay?

Okay.

The room full of traps didn't do much to assuage her uneasy spirits.

Right. It was a very good thing that Balthazar gave her a shield and all that. Slinging him over her side like he was a shoulder bag, Clerise made the first move into the room.

Nothing exploded underneath her feet or sent her careening into a building. That really was a good sign.

Keep being kind, universe. You can do it, she believed in you.

She believed.

Too bad belief wasn't enough, as one last step set a trap off, pain shooting up her right ********. s**t. GODDAMN. ******** EVERYTHING, AND ******** YOU."

Limping around like a retard wasn't doing her much good in this damned room of traps. Clerise hissed as putting pressure on her right foot did nothing but burn like a ******** is retarded," she muttered, falling face first into a trap.

GAME OVER.

The hunter that had woken her up was an obnoxious little Mist girl. Five foot two at best, grim, and giving Clerise the finger and a lecture of how DARE she make her work, oh em gee she had so much Madoka left to watch and god, you stupid trainee, baka baka baka, how dare you interrupt her and--

Clerise GLEEFULLY ran back into the training room, wondering vaguely if it was Greek that the girl had been speaking.

It really sounded a lot like it.

All that really mattered is that she was getting further and further away from the girl in the coat with the cat eared hood.

Who the hell had a cat ear kind of hood? Who DID that? Had she held the quartermaster at gunpoint (because she had a gun, and was waving at Clerise's retreating figure, and it was a big one, how much heat was she packing?) and demanded ears be stitched onto her white and gold abomination?

The end of her coat had mittens.

This was ridiculous.

Never in her whole ******** life.

For once, Clerise was able to channel some litheness. She slid between each trap, tiptoeing along carefully, balancing on the balls of her feet.

She hollered with triumph as made her way to the edge of the room, doing a shuffle as a victory dance before moving ******** you, she was entitled to it. ******** traps.

Beautiful. Of all the ******** possibilities, the gods of randomization had bequeathed her with a gift. She had not asked to be blessed in such a fashion. She had made no sacrifices to her dark gods for this generous bestowal.

And yet, here she was.

Princess ******** Clerise.

Well wasn't THIS just fine and dandy. It was unnerving, to see herself giggling coyly, and to be on the receiving end of fluttery eyelash batting.

"Hold still, you blathering bint," Clerise grumped, fidding with her manacles, borrowing some of Balthazar's terminology for her.

It was only appropriate.

Christ. One manacle down and one to go.

"Hello, darling! Say, can we go for a spot of tea after all this yucky business is done? I say, I am craving crumpets like you'd never believe."

Clerise gave her simpering clone a withering stare.

They'd even gotten her VOICE down.

Clerise supposed it was only appropriate that she carry her princess self in bridal fashion, scooping the chiffon swaddled golem up in her arms.

"Hold on," she warned herself, diving back into the room with the traps.

Desperately, she hoped the girl talking in nigh-Greek had gone back to her post by now.

Well, she was almost unscathed. One trap of the more sentient traps had propelled itself upwards, gnawing on the Princess Clerise's ankle.

Little sacrifices, okay?

Okay.

And then the shadows. "You need to stop wiggling so goddamn much, jesus christ, woman."

"You can't make me! I do say, this is so droll."

Clerise unceremoniously dumped her creepy doppelganger on the ground as soon as they'd cleared the shadowlings.

And then promptly put her golem out of misery.

For her own sake.
