Telepathic message, during the Awakened battle

[kokuyoyo]

We're not getting anywhere. These things aren't the real threat, and they're only going to keep coming.

Second round, pay attention.

If your username had a wheel, immediately look for people who are murdering these things with apparent experience. Keep finding more of them. Make sure a group can keep you safe. Stay away from the lockers.

If you had a pair of blades, find the people being most targeted and defend them. If these things get rid of us Navigators, you'll die easily.

Do that immediately.

And for everyone... We need to lure the true form of our enemy out. These rats are just meant to exhaust us.

If we can find a way to a larger area like the gymnasium, we should set up bait. Since these things want Navigators so badly, some of us should be what sets the trap.

[There's the sound of a mental sigh that whispers through everyone's minds.]

Unless anyone has any better ideas...

They explode.

1/2

[blackdogdown]

!!

2/2

[blackdogdown]

Yes

[kokuyoyo]

It takes the right spell, and I don't know who else has it....

But I imagine enough rats trapped in one place could cause enough damage. I thought you'd like that...

[connivingbird]

It's one of my spells.

[kokuyoyo]

Good to know.

[connivingbird]

So. Look like we are fleeing, Navis splitting up Combats running ragged, hit the gyms and then hope it comes out there.

I wonder if the spelled rats would damage it as well.

[kokuyoyo]

Assuming we can get this group in order.

[Chikusa doesn't have faith, exactly.]

By "it", do you mean that larger creature?

[connivingbird]

For an argument, just add humans.

Yes. We don't have an idea of what it is outside of the dream, which could be misleading.

[blackdogdown]

I love it.

Forcing the rats together into a narrow hallway should do the trick. The gym doors are pretty small.

What spell though?

[kokuyoyo]

[There's a strange kind of background murmur that comes through, almost like white noise, before Chikusa's voice comes through again.]

Marin Karin.... apparently.

[blackdogdown]

Hm. Don't got it. You?

[kokuyoyo]

I do.

None of my other spells really work on them, so I've had to resort to figuring out the right time for this one...

[theserpentsmiles]

I have that.

[kokuyoyo]

Four people....

If we gathered enough rats, had good enough luck in firing off all at once...

...It's worth a shot.

[theserpentsmiles]

I'm a fighter, not a navigator, but I'm physically nonthreatening and I know how to conceal my presence. If I appear to be injured I might be seen as minimal threat.

Do we have a plan of action yet?

[kokuyoyo]

We're working on one.

[Or, you know, yelling at each other, but that's fine too.]

[theserpentsmiles]

Alright. Let me know when or if you want me somewhere.

[Or he could come up with and volunteer for ignition duty on a bomb trap. Who knows.]

[kouteipenguin]

I do.

[kokuyoyo]

Good.
