28 - The Hungry Forest (Final Battle)
Who: Everyone!
What: At the heart of the mysterious forest lies a magical trap.
When: Nov 14, evening
Where: Within the forest
Summary: Working together, and with the (reluctant) help of some menaced cultists, the rescuers have pierced the wooden wall into the heart of the forest.
The sky is clearly visible here, but it’s an evening one – it’s taken the day to work their way through this far. Those with some astronomy knowledge will also be able to tell it’s a sky on Earth, and anyone who can climb up above the treeline will see a vast, mountainous and wooded area, with the lights of roads, train tracks and small towns glittering here and there. They're clearly not in the Heavens anymore. Somehow, in their journey through the forest, the rescuers have emerged onto the Near Shore.
An icy breeze is blowing, and although the vegetation is unseasonably green and lush in this clearing, there are patches of snow visible at the foot of some of the trees, hinting that they're fairly far up the mountain.
Rescues
The clearing here at the heart of the forest is vast, and five colossal sigils are etched into the earth, each one holding an incredible amount of power. It’s on these sigils, North, South, East, West, and Center, that the trapped gods and shinki can be found. Those unlucky enough to be at the Center sigil are bound by hypnosis, each staring at a firefly spirit that hovers before their unblinking eyes. These victims are still and unresponsive, and the spirits will need to be destroyed to free them. The firefly spirits can be harmed by both physical and magical attack, though they likely won’t stay still to let themselves be easily extinguished.
The captives trapped on each of the other sigils are around the edges of the clearing, entangled in vines, brambles or whatever other limbs the trees could provide to bind them to this place. Some may also be under the effects of the hypnotic fireflies if they’ve been particularly troublesome, while others who have fought less might have only those bindings needed to prevent them fleeing. Regardless of how tightly they're restrained, all of the kidnapped gods and shinki on all of the sigils look drained, the severity depending on how long they’ve been there. Some are merely tired-looking, whereas others are barely clinging to consciousness. Whether their power is being used to feed the spell or being stored for something else to come, one thing is clear – those trapped need to be freed before anything more can be done.
Sigils
Those sigils beneath each group of trapped gods and shinki are powerful constructs, brimming with energy and meticulously maintained by the cultists up to now. It’s the same power as what blankets the entire forest, but it's focused on each of those five points. They must be the source of the spell that's caused all of this.
If the spell is to be broken, the sigils need to be broken as well, but it’s going to take more than just scuffing out the etched lines to break the magic. Attacking with shinki in their vessel forms or using blessed water to wash away the magic will be most effective, but for those who didn't bring blessed water or don't have the energy left to transform, there's one other option. The clearing is lit by traditional paper lanterns hanging from the trees all around, and any object set aflame with these lanterns can be used to burn the spell out of the ground bit by bit.
The trees and any remaining soulless shinki are still furiously opposing the rescue efforts, the surviving cultists are continuing to work on maintaining the spell, and it will take time to fully destroy the sigils. However, as the sigils deteriorate, the effects of the spell will begin to fade, and characters will find it easier to access their supernatural powers to speed the process along. Gods' and shinki's powers (that is to say, the special power they gained as a god or shinki, rather than canon powers) will be as effective as a shinki or blessed water against the sigils.
But be careful. As each sigil breaks, some of the magic escapes, but some is captured by the remaining sigils. For the spell to fully disappear, all five must be destroyed – and quickly, because there’s only a matter of time before this power becomes unstable.

In the right place this time haha, Open to All and NPC interaction oka
Seeing the flames spread and how it's affecting it made him look around amd take notice of the lanterns and shinki handing them out. He's so tired and sore and probably reopened up some wounds but he's one determined idiot...which is why he is refusing to go get healed.]
My thanks for this. Let us send a message to those who try to use us as playthings.
[Don't mind the bleeding, he will take care of that later.]
no subject
Sir, if you aren't a god, I would recommend catching your breath.
[And, you know. Getting patched up. You look like shit, Aymeric.]
no subject
I am one but recently freed from the East Sigil. As long I as am able to draw breath and move, I cannot stand back when I can do something instead.
[Good luck convincing him to go because he won't.]
no subject
Then forgive me for being presumptuous, lord, but I insist on at least bandaging whichever wound is your worst. It's far easier to move and do what needs to be done when you're not losing blood rapidly.
CW: Blood and Tree Stabbing?
I-ah!
[He yelps as his hand immediately cups his left side. Perhaps some of the adrenaline is wearing down because the shinki is speaking to him but his instinct tells him to lift up his shirt and reveals a puncture wound on his left side below his chest. He'd laugh at the irony of the one near identical scar on his right but it's the furthest from his mind.
However, he does recall the deepness of the first and this one does not feel like it. Still sucks that a damn tree somehow stabbed him without knowing it but that's life.]
I did not even notice this...
[Now if the man can see past the fresh ones, he will notice he has some older scars as well. He's definitely the type not willing to go quietly. So he breathes just to make sure he doesn't fall down.]
no subject
You've had a tiring time, lord. [As the ragged strip of cloth is tugged free, leaving his sleeve divided in two with only the cuff hanging at his wrist, a kanji can be seen along a spot of his forearm, near his elbow.] Please get this cleaned and properly treated... All my humble can do is stop the bleeding for a short while. If you will excuse me...
[Just going to tie this awkward in place....]
no subject
[His tone went from that sharpness and frenzied worry to something quieter. It certainly helps to have a presence to try and stay calm. Oh he's still mentally frantic and wanting to get back to destroying this thing, but at least the man is not pushing him literally to a doctor. Upon seeing the mark, it dawns that he is a shinki but not one he is familiar with. The fact that he is calm as well is telling.]
My thanks to you...[He does hiss at the pressure but Aymeric stays standing as the wrap is set in place.]
no subject
[So. No doctors.]
[Still, as he finishes the knot on the bandage, a brief smile appears on Unmi's face.]
Please thank the young master. We did not wish for him to get tangled in whatever mess was occurring, but he insisted on repaying a debt. [Finishing, he straightens up.] Hopefully that will hold for now.
no subject
[He doesn't recall many shinki addressing their gods as such. They are rather informal just as he is with Goten and Sukomi amd Yoon. But that must mean...]
...he is from this realm then?
[Other than Amaterasu, Aymeric has not heard much of other gods actively helping the new ones like himself. It's refreshing and Aymeric does not want to squander this chance. Gripping the lantern, he nods to Unmi and lets his shirt fall back down. It's only temporary but it's enough for the elezen to focus and be less into that frenzied mindset from before.
And let's be real, he will end up forgetting to go get patched up until he passes out.]
Might I ask for the name of the man who has helped me? Not your god but yourself, good ser?
no subject
[The questions have him nod over his shoulder at Aymeric.]
Yes. My master is Ebisu-sama, one of the Gods of Fortune, and you may call me Unmi. [He grunts a bit, lifting up the lanterns.] I would give a more proper introduction, if not for the circumstance, so pardon any rudeness!
no subject
There is no need for apologies, Ser Unmi. We do what we must in times of need.
[He finds a dead branch and sticks it in the flames of the lantern and brings it down upon the sigil but he moves it downwards as he is careful how he moves around. Aymeric will make sure the flames spread and if any cultists would show up, there are things he could do. No swords on him but he can punch...or if they are stupid enough to step into the fire.]
no subject
It's all we can do. Please tell me, lord, if you start to feel weak.
[Injured people shouldn't play with fire.]
no subject
...it's Aymeric, Ser Unmi. Aymeric de Borel is my name.
[And despite all that has happened, when he looks toward the shinki, there's a small, soft smile when he speaks. Don't worry, they will get this done. He keeps his feet as quick as he is able even if they shake. His breathing is ragged but also paced. 'This is just like the Vault' he thinks as he moves, he just needs to not lose himself like he almost did nary a bell ago. And with fire instead of steel.]
no subject
[It's only the polite thing to say, and he gives a weary smile back to him. This forest has taken a lot out of them but, despite his age, he's not one to be left behind. With care, he helps the fire spread with his own work.]
