WE ARE HALLOWEEN  Sun Hunter
SHADOW RUN
The Shadow Run is both the simplest and most dangerous training course that can be run without a golem. A flurry of continuous attacks is what the Sun Division holds in highest respect, and the course reflects that. The course itself is a simple tunnel, reached via portal. Within the tunnel await hundreds of weak, hungry shadowlings. Nothing to worry about on their own, but capable of overwhelming a Hunter through sheer numbers at the first moment of weakness. At the other end of the tunnel is another portal, leading back to the course observation booth.
If you fail: your character is KO'd, but there's always a senior hunter in the observation booth with enhanced bandages at the ready. They should reach you in time. Really. Trained and trusty professionals on-hand 24/7.
If you win: peen points and bragging rights to those who take out the greatest number of shadowlings and go the most turns without needing to attempt a recovery maneuver.
Mechanics
You must get through 5 waves of attacks to make it through the tunnel.
Simply roll for attack as you would in battle.
If you miss, your character falters in their attacking and is overwhelmed by shadowlings.
After 3 successful hits, you may use your weapon's charge attack.
Bonus Mechanics
This bonus is consumable.
The bonus in this course is in the form of "recoveries" ~ these are would-be missed attacks that are quickly recovered and turned into a successful hit. Basically, they can miss once and roll again for an extra try. If you keep consecutively missing, though, and run out of recoveries, it's lights out. These do not equal an automatic pass for a round, you still have to land a successful hit to proceed.
Trainees: 0 recovery
Sun Trainees: 1 recovery
Hunters: 1 recovery
Sun Hunters: 2 recoveries

Chel spent Wednesday in the sun hunter training area. Adrenaline and snap decisions sounded much better than endless hours to think in the pod area, or boringly watching twats go off deus while she herself couldn't.
Option two thus was to lose herself in shadows.Status Wave: 1 Attack Dmg: 9 Total Shadowlings taken out: 9 Recoveries left: 2

Her bow easily sliced through three across the chest. The fourth was sliced through the face.
Her own scar burned.

She panted with the effort she had exerted thus far. The echo of her breath was too similar to that time.

< TWENTY SHADOWS ELIMINATED, > Tenebrae announced.
"Don't gotta say it. I'm keepin-" Slice, slick, squish. "-Track."
A shadow traced its way across her thigh. She shuddered, memories resurfacing. When she sliced through the skin, it was satisfying.

One shadow stabbed across her back when she wasn't looking.
< Pay attention. >
She frowned. She didn't need it from Tenebrae right now.

She was getting slow, lazy. The shadows overwhelmed her, because every time one approached, her mind would drift elsewhere.

She felt tears stinging her eyes.
She wasn't sure why.
There was nothing to cry about.
Nothing had happened.

A few shadows toppled her, knocking the ground away from her grasp. She thought of Finn's chest, pressed into hers.
That night was allowed to exist, right?

Make it stop.
Make it stop.
Make it stop.
She fought on the ground, her teeth bared for the fight. The growl that rose wasn't human, it was hunter.

A supernova of light exploded from her bow, lopsided, messy.
The darkness was driven back, but only for a time.
She wished it would take her with it.

The lingering effects of her attack still shocked the surrounding shadows as she stood, back bent, hunched over in tiredness.

She was cracking, cracking. The shadows were getting to her. Whispering things in her ears.
Rejection.
Empty.
Call Finn.
Cook what you want.
"No seriously though. Any choice you make could affect everyone else in penumbra. That's important. That's how Shun ended up hurt, yeah?"
Things she knew.
As far as anyone else is concerned, this never ******** happened.
