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.

[The good cheer doesn't fade in the slightest, but he is at least self-aware enough to look a little sheepish.]
I just don't want to accidentally vaporize anyone who is undeserving of such a fate.
[He probably should have thought this through a little more. Actually, he should have thought this through, period, but that kind of...didn't happen.]
no subject
no subject
He kinda looks like one of 'em, doesn't he? Maybe he's the big bug in charge of all the other ones!
no subject
That's certainly something I've never been accused of before!
[But with Chise out of the way and a clearer shot at the cluster of remaining vines, he can actually make himself useful for once. He aims the point of his sword at them and calls forth the power of his Noble Phantasm.
It's probably impressive sounding, but for some reason, some of the words get lost in the background noise. Sword of...something? Something-calibur?
Well, words aren't terribly important. What's important is the giant golden beam of light that vaporizes more of the forest than is strictly necessary.]
I did tell you I needed a little space.
no subject
That seemed like overkill....you think he's compensating?
[ Kamui holds his free hand up as if to hide his mouth like a gossiping housewife as he talks to the brunette. ]
no subject
... Then he turns back to Kamui again, grinning.]
I think he just likes being flashy.
[That was actually super cool, but teasing comes first. Goku has no beef with Richard, doesn't even know him, doesn't know any of these people, but he knows how these things go. He can fall in line.]
Like a firefly!
no subject
Despite being one of the first to disappear, she seemed to be uncannily healthy, when comparing it to many of the others that have been rescued.
As the beam of light catches her dazed eyes, an awareness seems to return to them. Enough to catch something else that's red, just barely in her line of vision as her head lifts. Pushing some of her hair back with the black hand, Chise starts to finally move so she can see what was happening around her, and who she was hearing. ]
Where...?
no subject
[It's a bit rude to just sweep in and grab her, as much as it seems like the thing to do, so he'll just call out so she knows he's there.]
We're in the forest and everyone's mocking me! Don't worry, we have everything under control.
[Since he, uh, incinerated most of it.]
no subject
Kamui glances behind his shoulder, feeling her start to stir. ]
Welcome to the party. Feel free to join in, since he seems to like being insulted.
[ As she's awake now, he crouches down to get her back on her feet. ]
Try no to get too close though, he might be a pervert.
no subject
disapprovaldiscomfort from this 'party,' she looks between the Kamui and this other boy.Then steps away to get closer to the Saber. ]
Richard isn't a pervert, and I wouldn't insult him.
[ Though it does have her realize that something happened where her god and some other people had to come and save her. Which is why she gives a small bow to the blond first, before giving another to the strangers. ]
Sorry for having caused you all trouble...
no subject
[He pats her kindly on the head and smiles.]
As long as you're well, I can endure a bit of abuse.
[With that, he looks over at the others.]
Actually, if you care to read the entry about me on Wikipedia, there's much scholarly debate about my specific proclivities!
[Stop sharing, Richard.]
no subject
Ah, so you are a pervert...
[He doesn't understand much of what Richard just said but he can guess that much. It makes sense, after all. Goku grins at Chise anyway, kind of apologetic for insulting her friend. Kind of.]
Chise, huh? I'm Goku! You feelin' okay?
no subject
He's saying that there are people arguing about what his particular moods tend to be or mean, not that he's a pervert...
[ Though clearly Richard isn't about to defend himself and clear things up. So finally she nods, brushing and smoothing the hair that had gotten messed up a bit from getting bundled in so many vines. ]
Pretty well, actually. Just a little hungry and thirsty, I suppose.
[ She did disappear rather early in all of this. ]
How long was I in there?
no subject
[ Hunger and thirst are easy enough to solve. Since she was back withbher god, they should be fine. There were more soulless shinki to fight and vines to tear apart. ]
Well, good luck with him. [ He tells Chise. ]
See you when I see you. [ To the other two he just nods and smiles. This teamwork thing didn’t seem too bad, even if he was teasing one of them the whole time. Though since there's nothing else for him to do here, he'll start to head off with a wave, not particularly interested in small talk at the moment. ]
Try not to get caught again.
