eighth hunt ⚔ troll hunt
Characters: Rokurou Rangetsu [Huntsman] and everyone who's coming along on this hunt
Campaign: Break
Format: whichever you prefer!
Open
Summary: Rokurou has made a call to arms to take down this troll (Commission Board #0909)! This is vaguely set before the upcoming poisoning and anyone can join in the fight. Commenting to Rokurou's post is not necessary and can just handwave greetings. To keep things simple(ish), below are the details regarding the troll and various ways on how to fight against it. There are two phases for the fight, but there is no strict order for threads. Players can make their own threads for either portion of the fight and tag each other at will.
⚔ I. PHASE ONE.
The first part of the battle after everyone's gathered and are getting ready to strike. Can use this as an opportunity to mingle, but here's the lowdown for this section:
A. Piercing that hide. The troll's hide is tough and the troll regenerates health, so it needs to be weakened before any real damage can be done to it. However, it is susceptible to magic and the elements. Physical weapons such as blades and even firearms will need to be coated in either poison or magic elemental enhancements that will give the weapon an additional property to break through the skin. Those who can cast magic or throw poison/magic bottles can deal more direct damage to weaken the hide and provide opportunities for the melee fighters.
B. Operation distract! The troll has two heads and thus has a wider range of vision. Because of this it's harder for anyone to get real close without getting spotted, and the troll is surprisingly fast. With various stomps, sweeping motions, and bashing around with its chained mace and club, anyone trying to get close will have a difficult time. Thus it's imperative to create distractions for those in melee range. Alternatively just go straight for the eyes—just fair warning that they slowly regenerate just like the rest of the body.
C. Destroy the weapons. That chained mace and club are definitely a problem, and fortunately they aren't too special—just ridiculously large. Disarm the troll and prevent it from picking either weapon back up and it will be left to fight with just its hands and feet!
Note: The troll itself towers at a whopping fifteen feet and is quite burly. At this point in time, although it can be stabbed and receive deep cuts, no limbs can be hacked off. Maybe a few fingers and toes.
⚔ II. PHASE TWO.
After enough damage has been inflicted, the troll will suddenly let out a massive roar that will send everyone flying back. It will then proceed to split into two separate trolls, each one a half size of the original. It's at this point that it becomes clearer that this is no ordinary troll and is instead an Eraser. With its size reduced and defenses down, the fight becomes a little easier and fairly straightfoward, but be careful—there are times the trolls will join together to tag team. When joined together, their strength doubles and can inflict massive damage, so it's best to keep them separate.
Once the trolls are defeated, everyone will receive phat loot. Huzzah! Anyone who comments here can use this to link threads for redeeming points from the board.

[ Felix darts this away and that, dodging blows while trying to egg the troll into moving. He has to be irritating enough to seem like a more significant threat. Otherwise, the troll might turn its attention to Mordred and her chain. Fortunately, Felix has extensive experience being a complete fucking pain in the ass. It takes a while, but eventually…
BAM!
The troll tries to take a step and goes down hard, face-first. ]

[For a second there she was worried it'd split into more trolls or grow extra legs or something like that.]
Let's take it out before it decides to get back up!
[She'll take her own advice and jump in, starting to wail on it some more with what looks like a wooden sword. She's got a regular one in her pack, but as weird as it sounds, with her Essence, this'll probably be more effective. Maybe?
Not that she bothers with explaining any of this because explanations also aren't her thing!]

Felix's essence hasn't given him much in the way of combat power — fox fangs aside, that is. But it has given him one thing that could help: a bag of tricks. One that seems to give him more good luck than bad these days. He returns to human form and then whips it out, digging in and hoping for something useful…
And when he draws his hand out, he grins beneath his helmet. It's not his weapon of choice, sure. But a comically oversized sledgehammer should still do the trick. He's just glad that his armor enables him to wield it.
Felix closes in quickly, raises his weapon, and joins in wailing on the troll. ]

[Sure, she won't explain her odd choice of weapons, but she'll stop to question the cartoon prop. Doesn't interrupt her troll bashing, but it's enough to make her ask about it.]
no subject
I pulled it out of my bag of tricks.
[ He assumes she's asking where it came from. ]
