Quote: This opponent should be fought with at least a team of 3, and must be fought outside the hotel. The sky above you is darkened by the flutter of a large number of wings: a mass of the metallic birds that hit against each other in their attempts to be the first to attack you. There are too many to fight alone, and you are glad to have allies at your side. They attack by launching their feathers at you or by flinging their poisonous dung. Hit points: 100 Damage: 5 each time they are attacked If you successfully kill this bird, each party involved in the battle gets 15XP and rolls 1d100 to collect loot according to the following: 1-40: You fought a hard battle well, and gain an extra 5XP! 41-60: Poisonous Dung: You manage to collect a vial of the vile stuff. It can thrown at an opponent once to poison them, dealing 1 damage for 3 turns. After this it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever. 61-80: Heart's Blood: You manage to collect a vial of the creature's blood. It can be used once to replenish 3 HP, at which point it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever. 81-100: Metal Feather: Once per battle, you can backstab with this small dagger. Add 2 to your final damage. This item is reusable, and remains in your inventory.

In all of his hours here in the Alps, Zan had never seen anything like this. Outside the hotel, the metallic birds swarmed in clumps, intermittently blotting out the sun like sinister clouds.
Zan stood at the window, eyes slightly narrowed and a frown on his face. He shouldn't have been thinking of fighting them, but he'd been improving with his dagger (sort of) and there were already a couple of people out there gunning for glory anyway. He couldn't let them have all of it.
It was decided then. "Evil death storm!" he shouted, puling out his blade and making for the door. "Last one there... doesn't get to murder things!"
He still felt kind of bad about killing the birds, but anyone watching him now wouldn't have guessed it at all. Zan tore out of the hotel, hacking and slashing his way through the wing of one of the creatures, his only reward a splatter of dung on his hand.Quote: Zan HP: 45/50 DMG: 8 Bird HP: 92/100

Tara was holding up one of her bird blood vials to a little light, trying to figure out what on earth she should do with this stuff, when she heard someone call out Evil death storm!
Blinking, she sat up in her chair, staring wide-eyed at the guy making a beeline for the door with a dagger in hand. She looked towards one of the windows and blanched a bit at the sight of how many were out there. "W-wait a moment! Don't just run out there like that!" She tried to call after him, stumbling to grab her quiver and bow, shoving the vial of blood into one of her pockets with the others and the vial of dung.
She already had an arrow in hand by the time she made it out the door, ducking with a small yelp as one of the birds swooped down and caught her hair with its talons. She managed to untangle herself from the creature--though she was pretty sure she could feel some scratches on her scalp and it definitely had some of her hair in its talons, the little b*****d...--and grumbled as she lined up her shot.
The arrow gouged the bird that had attacked her, and she considered that her fine retribution. Looking around for the guy she'd followed out, she spotted the dung on his hand and huffed. "Try to wipe it off with snow! s**t burns," she added with a grumble, glaring at the birds around them. There were so... many...

Identifying that blur as his roommate, hell bent on venturing into the madness and taking on a flock of monsters -- made Asher's head turn, eyebrows knitted. Maybe he would have preferred just a little time indoors, especially considering the state of his coat: shredded here and there, worn through in a couple places, with one sleeve attached only by a handful of strings. And maybe, for a moment, he thought about letting Zan get himself killed on his own because he was obviously crazy -- and then a girl took off after him and, with a sigh, Asher followed. As a team, they seemed to be solid. He watched Zan swing and hit, and then the girl too, and when it came his turn he timed it as he had in the previous fight, ducking the bird's attack as best he could and only thrusting out when it was within reach. "...is this really the smartest way to deal with this problem?" Asher HP: 42/50 DMG: 8 Bird HP: 72/100

It was getting worse, which really Beaulah thought was strange. They were killing these monsters, she had seen at least one or two fall victim to the other chosen, but there kept being more and more of them. It was disheartening really, and made her wonder if they were even really making a dent. Taking another bite out of the granola bar she had brought with her she was surprised to see some of the other kids rushing out, in what seemed like a completely random attack. She couldn't see any strategy to the attack, any planning behind it. Although at first she was happy with her granola bar and wasn't very inclined to help she remembered that the bird she had killed had been a random shot, and figured that maybe the two guys and girl were on to something. Putting the food away she grabbed her bow and some arrows and raced after them. Knocking an arrow she let it loose, hitting one of the birds directly. She smiled as she saw the others doing the same. So far it seemed like this nonplan was really working. "Maybe not, but it does seem to be working." She said to the boy who had suggested this wasn't the best way to go about it. He was right, but why mess up a good thing? As she went to grab a new arrow she could feel her coat being torn, the back of it now letting in some cold air from where a bird had grabbed a chunk of it. She hoped they didn't expect these coats back when the chosen got back to camp. Beaulah HP: 42/47 DMG: 10 Bird HP: 62/100

In the lull after his quarry fled, Zan glanced at the first Chosen that had followed with a nod. He had yet to be s**t on in his time here, but he probably should have guessed there'd be more to it than his own personal feelings of disgust. He bent over to wipe his hand in the trampled snow, leaving himself open to an attack from behind that tore not only his coat, but the shirt underneath as well.
"No," he said more definitively than the second woman had. "This wasn't smart at all." Zan stood straight again, ruining any seriousness his brief surrender to strategy might have held by grinning broadly at Asher. "Any ideas?"Quote: Zan HP: 40/50 DMG: 2 Bird HP: 60/100

While it was nice to have more people out there helping out with the creatures, the haphazard nature of the attack was... well. Yes, they were doing alright. Thus far. But she'd already seen a few times how quickly that could go south.
She glanced towards the guy who'd first run out--whom was now asking another guy if he had any ideas for a plan. "What... exactly did you think would happen when you ran out here..?" Tara was baffled. Had he not... fought these things yet..? She was suddenly wondering what the hell she'd done, running out here after him.
Shaking her head a little, she missed when one of the other birds swooped in until its talons were almost on her. Yelping, she raised an arm in time to shove it away, but cussed a bit when she saw it'd ripped new holes in her jacket and nicked her arm a bit. Lining up another shot with her arrow, she managed to knock another bird out of the sky, hitting it's wing. She didn't linger to see if it got back up--hopefully it stayed down...
"Not sure there's anything else we can do beyond just taking them down one by one. At least, it's worked for me each time I've gone out here. Just... haven't seen this many attacking at once..." She'd never had to co-ordinate with the other Chosen she'd fought alongside before, but against this many? She wasn't against the idea.

"Just don't miss," was Asher's wise advice -- which sounded simple, except that as a bird swooped down to strike at him again, talons glistening with nasty poison, he reached out and timed it just right. His dagger went through the bird's side and drove it to the ground. He drew in a breath, maybe preening just a bit. And something hit him in the side of his neck, one of the birds throwing at him. It stung; he made an unimpressive sound and swiped it off his skin. Asher HP: 37/50 DMG: 8 Bird HP: 46/100

Beaulah nodded, and as she felt the some of the poisonous dung hit her hand she released the arrow that she had knocked in shock. Luckily it hit a bird and she was able to get the dung off her hand with the snow on the floor before it did any serious damage. Still, her hand hurt, which made shooting arrows all that much more unpleasant. "We've gotten a bunch of them." She commented as another one of her arrows went through a bird. There had been a ton when she first followed the group from the safety of the hotel to fight them, but she noticed that there weren't as many in the sky as there were before. Maybe following the group wasn't the worst idea out there, so far it seemed like they were actually doing some good. Beaulah HP: 37/47 DMG: 10 Bird HP: 36/100

"Can do." Spotting a divebombing bird, Zan followed up his statement with a crouch and a hop, stabbing it in the neck as it tried to avoid him. Turning to Tara, he raised his eyebrows. A splatter of dung landed just above the right one, as if accentuating his reaction.
"I thought we would kick their asses. I mean, have you lost to any of these things yet? When enough of us are around, they just..." He sent his hand into a sad, descending arc, using it to rub at his brow instead when the dung started to sting. "See? You guys are both pretty good shots." He couldn't imagine using arrows himself. It seemed like it would take a lot of effort to aim so far away.Quote: Zan HP: 35/50 DMG: 4 Bird HP: 32/100

Yep that was the... simplest and best advice in this situation. Just don't miss. Which was sometimes easier said than done, as Tara herself nearly demonstrated. She'd been about to fire her arrow at one bird when another came in at nearly the last second, catching her arm with its talons and making her yelp, losing the hold on her bowstring at the same time.
It was only pure luck that the arrow hit the target bird, though it was clearly just a light graze. She shoved away the one attacking her, wincing at the new holes in her jacket with a huff. Still, she managed a smile towards the guy who'd first run out--and realized she had no idea what anyone's name was but this wasn't the best moment for introductions.
"Usually a good shot," she corrected with a slight laugh, grabbing another arrow. "It's pretty easy for these things to get the upper hand... but I'll admit. That's almost half the fun when you win then against them."

"They don't seem so tough to me." Again, Asher timed it just so, a quick swing and a hit, knocking a bird from the sky -- and they were doing a pretty good job, as far as Asher was concerned. Their clothing was suffering, just a bit, but on the whole the swarm seemed a lot thinner than it had been. He flicked a look around at the gathered crew. "Not half bad, I say. Maybe we should stick together and take down more." Asher HP: 32/50 DMG: 8 Bird HP: 21/100

Really, Beaulah was on a roll. Letting go of another arrow that went straight through the bird she was aiming for she couldn't help but feel proud of herself. The others were doing the same, she was pretty sure that none of them had missed their attacks since coming out there. Sure they were all a little torn up, but still, they were good. When one of the boys suggested that they stick together she nodded. "You know, that's not a bad plan." she agreed as she got ready for another attack. A few more attacks from each of them and she was sure they would be done with the bunch they were fighting. Beaulah HP: 32/47 DMG: 10 Bird HP: 11/100

"I'd be up for it," Zan agreed with a shrug he doubted anyone could see considering they were all too busy fighting. Much like every other bird massacre he'd shared with another Chosen, he didn't feel as though he was doing all that much damage, but if they wanted to stay together, he wasn't going to stop them from carrying him along. More glory, less work.
Not that he was above work. He did some now, drawing his dagger across the throat of an injured bird and backing up as it fell into the snow.Quote: Zan HP: 30/50 DMG: 4 Bird HP: 7/100

"I'd be alright with that," Tara laughed, trying to aim for one of the few remaining birds. Before she even got the shot off however, the creature dived, and Tara nearly dropped her weapon as she tried to push the creature away from her body. Its talons caught her face in a few places, and she had to bite back a scream.
Finally, she managed to shove the creature away, cussing softly under her breath as she reached down for some snow to rub against her face. Only a few little spots of blood, nothing as horrible as she'd thought she was about to find. Well... at least all the others were doing a splendid job against the creatures.
Tara's pride stung quite a bit at that horrible display, however.
