Finn nodded at Mao and let him stand back on his own two feet, keeping close just in case his legs gave way and he needed to be caught like a damsel in distress. What a day this turned out to be. Murder mystery in the ship followed by beach warfare. And now they were running for their lives. Finn couldn't help but find the situation to be a bit crappy if truth be told.

Still, he had a job to do, and whining wouldn't get him anywhere. They had quite the distance to cover if they wanted to escape, and Mint was offering to play decoy for them. Well, that just wasn't very fair on her, now was it.

"Mint, perhaps you shouldn't play bait. I don't mean to doubt your obvious skill, but the sand is too risky to make that sorta idea work. Too easy to lose your footing and the like", Finn nervously smiled back at her. If manoeuvrability wasn't the solution, maybe straight defence would work.

"I have a few mines I can use to maybe slow down their pursuit. The sand'll keep them hidden. Anyone have an issue with me using them?"

Finn adjusted his hold on Mao to make things a little more comfortable for the pair. "Typical. We do all the work, and all he can do is ask about the girl" he jokingly said as he kept moving down the beach, away from the Grimm. Whatever was left of them anyway. Duncan had done a pretty solid job with those bombs of his.

"Anyone see a good spot to hold up? Get our bearings and so on?"

Finn nodded and darted over towards Duncan, pulling Mao onto his shoulder as soon as he got close enough. "While I enjoy blowing stuff up, they're your toys. I'll get Mao away". Finn started the long trek around the side of the ship, away from the Grimm and his team, hoping to find some cover on the other side. Or, at least, nothing that wanted to eat their faces.

Bouncing straight off the wall, the Beringel used it as a fulcrum to pull itself high into the air, luckily avoiding Calen entirely, with the intention of landing in the centre of Team ASTC and tearing them apart. However, what it was met with was a knife in the eye, courtesy of Anna. Losing an eye so suddenly also left it unable to defend against Setsuna at all, and the beast quickly fell back to earth, a half on either side of the wall, dissolving into nothingness.

Nice job guys, encounter 1: Defeated! I'll just fade away here while you guys move to the ruins, then I'll do a set piece for it. Or, if you take to long, I'll unleash something else to try and speed you up. I feel this'll be easier than me making tiny, meaningless post that have nothing to do with what's happening. Unless ya'll want me to describe the weather every 4 posts?

Finn gave a sharp nod to Mint as he stepped in front of the others. Levelling his grenade launcher at the largest clump of Grimm he could find, Finn loosed a flashbang at them, "Allow me to brighten your day!", and revelled in the shock and awe he caused.

Throwing his weapon onto his back, Finn pulled a pair of frag grenades off of his bandolier and chucked them at the next two groups of Grimm, driving them apart and shredding a couple. Preparing his next pair of frags, Finn took a second to look over his shoulder at Mint and Duncan. "Get Mao away while they're still stunned, quick", before lobbing the next two grenades, one at another clump of beowolves, and the second straight into the face of the Ursa Major, knocking it for six, and buying them a few moments reprieve from it's assault.

Viridian scowled viciously at the dorm room door that had decided not to let him into his room. Apparently, Xanh's scroll was required to open it up first, something to do with team leader things that Viridian hadn't cared enough to learn about. And, considering the fact that going through the door would probably get him in trouble, he was stuck out in the corridor until Xanh turned up.

And wasn't that the big issue of the day: Team KABS. They'd seemed like good people when they'd met the day before, though Xanh came off as a bit flighty, Avaline as somewhat of a goody two-shoes and Gray cheerful, but slightly distrusting of Xanh and himself. Which probably made him the weak link of the team, if his own attitude towards others was taken into account. Still, he promised to be a better friend when he left home, and he wasn't going to break that promise to his mother. She'd kick his ass if he did.

With the combined force of Taro and Setsuna hitting it's side, and Calen's shoulder attack knocking it off balance, the Beringel rolled away from the party about fifteen feet before springing back to it's feet. However, it looked shook by this point, smoke slowly rising off out of the glaive would on it's back, and from around the dagger that protruded from just behind where it's right collar bone should be, a fortunate side effect of the team's combined attack that saved it from having it's throat slashed open.Taking one slow, steady step forward, then a second, the beast prepared to bare down on his enemies.

Ripping the knife out of it's shoulder, the Beringel threw it at Calen (6% with blade, 2% otherwise, you can decide which end hits. Not exactly a master knife wielder, our Grimm) while making a powerful leap straight for Taro and Setsuna, aiming to catch them both with a powerful sideswipe (8% Taro, 6% Setsuna due to Taro not being ideal weapon) and knock them aside.

"Yeah, riiiight, careful. Got it". Honestly, being careful? With a grenade launcher? The sheer ridiculousness of the idea was astounding. Plus, that'd just be boring.

Giving Boom a forceful pump to clear the chamber, Finn locked eyes onto the beowolves that had dodged right to avoid total incineration, and were now attempting some sort of flank, though they weren't being subtle about it. Spinning on his heel, Finn fired his second and third grenades that them, a pair of repulsion grenades, the first of which tore through the air and impacted the centre, splitting the half-dozen or so Grimm apart and sending three straight up into the sky.

The third, sent in a graceful arc, detonated atop one of the airborne Grimm, and slammed it and it's friends right back into the sand. One dissipated sadly upon impact, while the other two were half buried in the beach from the sheer force of the grenade.

Finn stumbled his way across the sand towards his teammates, the Grimm sounding like they were practically on top of him, even though he knew they were still a distance away yet.

Grabbing Boom off of his back and spinning on his feet to reverse the last few feet, Finn fell in on the right of Duncan and aimed down his sights. "Might I take the first shot?"

Not bothering to wait for an answer, Finn fired the loaded napalm grenade at the Beowolves now emerging from the treeline. One was incinerated immediately, while the rest were forced to separate as their cover suddenly erupted into flames.

Pain and fury clouded the Grimm's mind as Taro and Calen, quite unfortunately in it's opinion, managed to save Setsuna from a good flattening. Giving in to the sensations, the beast leaped square for Taro, swinging it's arm back and wide to maybe catch Calen round the head (6%). It's anger giving it enough strength and momentum to avoid Anna's chains, the Beringel leaped straight at Taro once again, going for the old overhead smash with both it's hands (9%), aiming to plow him into the dirt.

11
The Beringel let out a howl of pained fury as it's hands were ripped open by Anna's chain, and only got louder as Calen left his blade embedded in it's abdomen. Directing it's ever increasing fury towards Anna, it unleashed a mighty headbutt at her, though it was deflected off of her bracers, letting her bounce away unharmed. Rearing back to make another play, the beast roared once more, a show of dominance that was cut short as Anna's chain's went taut around it's neck, and the Grimm's head was sliced clean from it's body.

Ignoring Taro entirely in response to Setsuna's hit and run assault, the second beast pushed off from the ground in an impressive handspring, throwing it's legs forward and then back quickly for added momentum, all in an effort to land directly atop of Setsuna (18%) and flatten him into the dirt. Whether or not it connects, the Beringel pushed off again, aiming to catch Taro as he landed, and when he'd hopefully be a little off-balance, and just do an overhead smash straight onto his head (8%) with it's right arm.

Sorry for taking so long with this. School and then coming down with something just drained my energy up until now

"I'm all for leav-" Finn yelled over to the team, before a howl in the distance cut him off. The single, sharp howl lasted a few seconds before fading out. Then, a few seconds later, received several responses. A pack of Beowolves, probably only a few minutes away, and straight down the path they'd come from.

"Oh come on! Anything else!?" Finn yelped as he started to job back over to the others.

Throw allowed by Nathan


Acknowledging Calen's taunts with a roar, the Beringel took a step forward to begin the process of smashing his annoying face in when a chain came whirling around his neck. Yanked back in surprise, the beast growled angrily as it felt it's throat contract involuntarily. Reaching back to grip the chain in it's hands, while keeping up it's glare at Calen, the Beringel tugged back, pulling Anna straight off of her feet and over it's shoulder, aimed directly at Calen (8% each), before proceeding to return her to it and clobber her with a headbutt (7%), should she remain attached.

It's buddy, meanwhile, leaped forward as soon as Taro begin to react, taking his sword straight to it's armoured chest, and avoiding Setsuna altogether. Hoping that it's sudden push would throw Taro off balance, the monster unleashed a powerful uppercut on the boy (7%), aiming to send him high into the trees.

"We're out!" Finn cheered as he stumbled his way across the sand towards the treeline, forgoing any sort of safety protocol in an effort to get as far away as physically possible from the murder ship. Leaning against a tree, and leaving his satchel at his feet, Finn pulled out his scroll and began to make an emergency message to Beacon.

To whoever gets this, Team SFFM reporting in. Ship located at given coordinates. Most, if not all, of the crew are deceased. Potential Grimm and/or human involvement, unknown as of yet. Send reinforcements and transport for deceased.

Just as Finn hit send on the message, the alarm started blaring again, though thanks to his distance he wasn't caught off guard as much as his teammates were. "What the heck is that going off for!?"

Okay, you guys asked for an encounter, so you're getting one. Hope you're ready. Just so we're clear, after this, I'll actually keep posting from this position, in the middle of the team, just to keep things easier. So, it'll go Nathan, Monster, Me, Spoodnick and then King.


In an eruption of speed and fury, a pair of Beringels, still young, with only patches of bone armour on their forearms and chests, leaped down from the treeline. Disturbed by the conversation of Team ASTC, they'd decided to violently put an end to their irritating conversation, and in turn, their irritating lives.

One fell straight down on top of Anna, taking advantage of her focus on catching up to Calen to take her off guard and slam her flat into the ground (15% aura + stun), and, whether it connected with her successfully or not, it leaped forward, and swinging on it's arms for additional momentum, attempted to kick Calen into a tree (7%).

The second swung it's way around a tree and went for a midair clothesline on Setsuna (9%), with the specific aim of sending him spiralling into the underbrush. It rounded on Taro and roared it's fury at the puny boy that stood in it's path.

Spoiler: ShowHide
Going for the aura % for you guys for ease. I'll handle how much damage the monkeys can take, so don't worry about putting figures in them. In regards healing from battles, I'm sure you know how much your characters can heal in the given timeframe.
