No More Monkeys Jumping On the Bed [Open]

[revenancenpcs]

Characters: An unwanted guest...and you
Content: BOSS BATTLE
Location: Fifth District Greenhouse
Time: Evening
Warnings: Violence. It’s a boss battle, guys. C’mon.

My, the Fifth District is nice this evening, isn’t it? Whether you’re just passing through or going Nightmare-hunting, you can’t deny that that greenhouse is a lovely feat of architecture. It might even distract you from the fact that you haven’t been attacked by Nightmares at all since you entered the district; an oddity, given that this area is usually very Nightmare-prone.

The peace and quiet doesn’t last long, however. There’s a rattle and an unholy screech undercut by the cacophony of shattering glass, and the greenhouse roof explodes outwards. You cover your face and turn away, waiting for the glass to settle before heading towards it. No matter whether you jump down from the broken roof or head in via the doorway, you’re greeted with the same sight: the upper half of a giant multicolored monkey. It screeches again; obviously it’s not happy to see you, and it’s about to make that known. Rearing back, it takes a swing at you with one massive paw.

Good luck.

[OOC: Welcome to your first boss fight! This is Hockomonkey and he doesn’t like you. Hockomonkey will be controlled by the mods, who will also determine (via dice roll - we’re kicking it D&D style) whether attacks land and how much damage they’ll do. We’ll keep the technical stuff on the back end - just write like you normally would. There is no tag order in this thread; however, we do ask that you keep up a relatively quick tagging pace, especially if your character teams up with any others for joint attacks or strategies.]

Tails and Xion

There was still a slight ache, but it was easily ignored and Tails opened both eyes as the effects of the spell finished and smiled gratefully at Xion. "Thanks ion, I'm fine now."

He owed her one big time now and would try to do something for her later, but for now he got to hus feet and examined her a moment. "Were you hurt?"

Blaze squeaked happily his thanks at her before joining his friends Barkley and Axel to make sure they were okay.

Xion smiled in relief that the spell worked so well and Tails seemed to be mostly okay. "No problem."

When he started getting to his feet, she shifted to give him room to move. "I'm fine--just got a little winded."

Barkley was a little worse for wear, but still chipper. He'd had enough healing to be on his feet, and both he and Axel were concerned about Blaze. Was he okay.

[usedrapidspin]

"I'm glad." Smiling back in relief, he brushed his fur off absently and looked around. It looked as though everyone was either mostly okay or being tended to, so he turned back to Xion, actually at eye level with her for once. "It looks like this fight literally blew up in our faces;"

Blaze had taken surprisingly little damage through the fight and only a bit at the end there. Nothing that a good rest wouldn't fix. He bounced happily, though nudged Barkley gently, glad both he and Axel were still in one piece.

Xion took a moment to scan the area while he did. It looked like there were more than a few badly hurt, but there were enough healers on hand to help them. That was a relief. The magic really had gotten out of hand. "It did. I wonder what caused that to happen."

It couldn't have been simply mixing the magic. She'd mixed her own Thunder or Blizzard spells with Axel's fire before, and everything had been fine. So there had to be another reason.

Barkley nuzzled Blaze back. The concern was appreciated, but he was fine thanks to Xion healing him and glad to see Blaze was okay, too.
