Event Plotting || The Hunt for Jason

[great_king_of_evil]

Good morning Animus! This post is for plotting out the imminent big battle against Jason!



Like said in the previous plotting post, Ganondorf has formed a group to kill Jason and they're not joking about it. And there are probably numerous individuals not related to this group who'd like to punch Jason as well. This is going to be very hard to accomplish, but they can defeat Jason and maybe even kill him if they do it right! To accomplish this however, numerous people shall work together (or not). There have been talks of groups who want to just capture Jason, not kill him, as well. This plot is to organize how it will go and summarize events.

Ganondorf has plotted to get Zo on their side. He has accepted and will join in on the battle on 8th Floor, in the maze. Or rather, Zo will disable Jason's psionics, giving an edge to those opposing him. Furthermore, they'll have the advantage to be familiar with the Labyrinth, allowing them to ambush Jason.

Zo won't be able to come right away though. So to give Zo the time to come, they need to delay Jason. We need two teams: a distraction team that will delay Jason, and an ambush team that will wait for Jason on the eight Floor. Needless to say, odds of dying are high for anyone on either of these teams.

Reply to this post if you wanna be part of either team, want to add something, discuss the event or help plan out tactics!


If Jason dies, there will be consequences. Of the unpleasant kind. The entire tower will be affected, if anything because there will be a new and less enjoyable revival system following his death. And who knows what else?

There will be severe consequences for anyone attacking Jason as well. However, only Ganondorf risks permanent death if he manages to murder Jason, so you don't have to worry about your character being killed for real.

TEAM DISTRACTION

[great_king_of_evil]

Please reply here if you'd like to be on team distraction so we know how much people / who will be in on it!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Veronica hasn't had her collar fluid changed, so she still has her "powers" which consist of being a scientifically augmented super assassin. So if she can't fight the plague doctors, or Jason, she can certainly out run them.

She'll be putting her life on the line here. Hopefully she wont die.

Re: TEAM DISTRACTION

[seventhsong]

Starting with Team Distract. Lorelei CAN be pretty visually showy though it's all glamor, and can keep other people running long enough to bait Jason into traps. He can manage thrown projectiles hopefully enough to be irritating enough to pursue.

[goddamntea]

Pulling my last character out of the Hiatus limbo, he'll do his best to be as much fo a pain in the ass as he can.

[bowandblade]

Archer's fast and pretty durable. He won't be afraid to attack Jason outright to lure him away from other people causing distractions, using his real weapons as necessary.

[ninjainviolet]

It's past Sheena's collar check, so no powers, but she's a ninja, so count her in for Team Distraction.

[great_king_of_evil]

Alrighty! The thread for team distraction is barely started, so feel free to jump in anytime!

TEAM AMBUSH

[great_king_of_evil]

Please reply here if you'd like to be on team ambush so we know how much people / who will be in on it!

[neverbeamemory]

+1 Sephiroth for Team Ambush.
1 Maze + Speed/Agility + One real orc-sword.

Lots of quick attack in and then retreats/dodging around corners and waiting. No point throwing Fire courtesy of Materia out there on account of five-meter no-Glamour field...at least until if/when this changes.

Re: TEAM AMBUSH

[guardianlight]

+1 Lightning for Team Ambush.
See Sephiroth's math equation for this.

She is named "Lightning" for a reason. That reason being she is a speed demon who strikes light her namesake. She will be powerless, but that means jack shit when orc armor, shield and sword. Besides: what is magic before suddenly l'Cie?

[guilmon]

Putting AU Riku here. Ignore the Guilderp account!

He's got monster armor and a sword for protection, though obviously his glamour powers won't be of much use. But hey, one more for the fighting team, eh?

[great_king_of_evil]

+ 1 Ganondorf Claus for Team Ambush?

Obvious enough but. Ganondorf will be apart of this team with the intent to kill Jason. He has the layout of the labyrinth memorized for the day and is fully equipped with Darknut armors & swords and his santa claus costume.

Re: TEAM AMBUSH

[greyerrant]

Loken is up in the brute squad here of course. A space marine and master swordsman will just help to murder faces.

[culbutiri]

Nesir is up for ambushing!

Re: TEAM AMBUSH

[pureply]

+1 Zelos for Team Ambush.

Even without his powers, he's still fast, and he knows how to fight. Also, he should have a real weapon courtesy of Diarmund/Cu.

[justabignobody]

+1 Keyderp (who may or may not have a key; I'm still making my mind up about that) if that's alright

Either way he'll have made sure to have monster sword/armour.

[seventhsong]

Definitely want to be part of one team or another; Lorelei's primary purpose is healer and medic, either with glamourmagic or simple medical know-how. He'll go wherever he's told to go, be it primary ambush group or distraction group. I don't know which he'd be better for currently.

[great_king_of_evil]

Well, I guess Lorelei could go in the team that got the less member-- I don't know much about Lorelei's statistic myself so I can't really help pick. But really, i'd say go with whichever team you prefer.

[seventhsong]

He has no statistics. 8D ..which is why I'm keeping him in the heal slot. In theory it's the ambush group that's gonna see the worst damage though.

[great_king_of_evil]

Then probably Ambush! Or he could stick with Team Distracion from a distance and fall back with Team Ambush when Team Distraction is out so as to warn them that Jason's about to arrive =|b

[seventhsong]

Could go for that. Try to keep both teams patched and moving for as long as possible. He doesn't need to be close up so long as glamour's still working, to heal people.

[bowandblade]

Archer isn't affiliated with any groups, but he's definitely restless from just running and hiding from the plague doctors, so he'll be more willing to cooperate. He's ... an Archer-class Servant, so he fights primarily with projectiles -- namely, firing multiple weapons from portals. He's also armed with a real bow and arrows, and a sword.

He's versatile, so he'll go wherever as long as he gets to see some action.

[great_king_of_evil]

There'll be lots of action in either group for sure! Given he fights with projectile, maybe he'd be good to enrage Jason from a distance with Team Distraction and draw him into the Labyrinth right into the ambush? Then maybe take part into the ambush attack.

But ultimately, whatever works better!

[bowandblade]

Got it! He can definitely act distracting.

[alae]

Dark Pit is likely to jump in - he owes Jason a Mega Laser. He's still got his powers though. He fights either with projectiles or close range so I'm not sure where he would work best.

[great_king_of_evil]

If he can get his hands on real projectile, I think team distraction would work better! If not though, then I'd probably say team ambush since Jason won't have his powers any more then.

[miseris_socios]

Unfortunately his projectiles work on energy/spiritual power. Team Ambush it is, then!

Hopefully Asch won't kill him for being stupid again.

[attheclocktower]

Given that this seems to be the main post for plotting things.

I personally want to throw Xion at Jason, though she's utterly refusing to be a part of Ganon's group. At the same time, she technically supports Ragnarok's plan to try to capture not kill, but in the end she doesn't really care, so long as he stops hurting her friends whatever the outcome may be. Nor do I have her officially grouped with anybody yet for her eventual assault.

A note that she'd be hesitant of working with anybody who might try to stop her/hold her back (meaning this actually would be a mission she'd be hesitant to take family with though not impossible idk).

So I guess... what would you suggest? She be a sort of loose canon indirectly affiliated with the distraction effort or idk?

[great_king_of_evil]

A "sort of loose canon indirectly affiliated with the distraction effort" could do it, I think =|a

The distraction team is fairly small as of now and they've got a lot of ground to cover until they can finally draw Jason into the Labyrinth. Floor 23 to 08, so that makes fifteen floors for four people; they probably won't be able to constantly attack Jason. So there should be plenty of room for independents like Xion (or others for that matter) to meet and fight Jason while the distraction team recover / prepare their next move.

Also since Cid will accidentally end up in the distraction team (wrong floor at the wrong time, what is his life), he could ask Xion to hold off Jason a minute while they recover if he spots her (or at the contrary take her the hell away if things go wrong).

[attheclocktower]

I've been talking a little and Ira will be helping Xion to go after Jason since he knows about that whole needing closure thing. Though he won't be above pushing Xion out of the way if things go sour.

They're gonna confront him on Floor 20 so there's that? :|a idk what plans you guys have in place yet

[great_king_of_evil]

I think Team Distract is gonna start on Floor 22 as they were expecting him and awaiting, but they'll have to retreat to recover and regroup fairly often, so Xion and Ira on Floor 20 will be the perfect ocasion for them to take their first rest.

[puppy_lancer]

Lancer is on team distract. He's joining in because it's the best chance to take down Jason, but at the same same time, the plan to only capture Jason makes sense. If the two of them manage to meet, maybe he could tell her something about making sure Jason isn't completely killed to death?

[withani]

Xion isn't planning on killing Jason by any stretch though, nor does she think it's possible for her to do so. She just feels facing him will help her gain some kind of closure for what happened in July. She's probably wrong but she's gotta try anyway.

At most though she's hoping to wear him down to make him easier for later groups.

They're welcome to talk about the situation if they run into each other! I'm just pointing out that a "don't kill Jason" reminder won't be necessary.

[glassceiling]

Alright, cool.

[puppy_lancer]

Lancer is strong and fast. Couple with his Disengage ability, he would be good at goading their enemies into certain places. However, with his personality, he prefers melee combat. He wants to at least get a hit in on Jason.

[great_king_of_evil]

Given his speed, I think he'd work better on team distract. They need people who can get on Jason's nerves to slow him down and trick him into going into the labyrinth.

That and if he survives the distraction, he'll be able to join in on the final battle anyway.

[puppy_lancer]

So this means Gil is his actual boss now! Good to know

[evokingfool]

Minato will be powerless since he went to the checkup. But he can help with pulling the injured back and attend to their wounds with medical items and kit, plus he still have his sword.

He'd be on whichever team Ken ends up to keep an eye on him.

[great_king_of_evil]

Alrighty! Well, if Ken ends up on team distraction, you can jump in on the thread already. Otherwise, the mods will put up a thread for Team Ambush after a while.

[pureply]

I'm putting Mia up for healing/medic duties wherever people need her. She didn't volunteer for the special fluid, and she has a decent knowledge of herbs and medicines and how to treat injuries in addition to her innate healing powers.

[great_king_of_evil]

Team Distraction may need her as the team is growing bigger and they're basically going to need and be constantly healed so as to hold against Jason and we have only one healer so far. Though in the end, she may be needed in either team.

[chevalier_mal_fet]

I'm super late to this party! But I'm not sure where to put Lancelot! He's got a real Sword (as well as his own magical blade before the glamour goes kaput), and is a Berserker by fighting-style even when he's not acting as a Servant.
Also, before the glamour does go down, he'll still be fully powered and able to disapparate at will, move without being recognized, and to take on the likeness of ANYONE he chooses.

Please advise?

eta: He can also take weapons from foes, master them, and use them against their former owners.

[great_king_of_evil]

Well, the main battle against Jason hasn't started, the thread hasn't at least (ICly it's probably over since a while), so Lancelot can take part in the Ambush Team maybe?
