THE FINAL CONFRONTATION

[It's time.

Once everything has gathered, perhaps they feel as prepared as they can be under these circumstances. Behind that door lays the place where things will end. The door opens easily, giving them access to the most important place underneath Krakow.

It's a rather large chamber, carved in the rock, but on the far end it feels like someone decorated the place to give it a very mystical vibe. A polished stone staircase leads to what seems to be a very large, glowing gate. It's being assaulted by an uninterrupted beam of volatile energy. Its origin is visible: a large, imposing laser machine, where all the tubes and wires are connected to. Right beside it, there's a coffin-shaped machine, the antenna blinking intermittently. Looks like it's on! But is it doing anything right now?

And, standing there with your backs to you, are the two people who have caused you so much grief and pain during the last month and a half. They're standing some distance away from the gate. Throughout the room are a few rocks that could serve as cover, as well as a pillar or two, but do you intend to hide? Regardless, looks like your intrusion didn't go unnoticed]


You all are so noisy.

[The door opening seems to have alerted her of your presence, yup. The Lady turns around. She doesn't have her half-mask anymore. The eye that's usually under it has a summoning circle carved onto it, shining so noticeably it can be seen even from the other side of the chamber. To her hip there's a sword, and her hand goes to a weapon a couple people may be familiar with: the marshmallow gun...with modifications. That sure is the fire-spewing trombone attached onto it. It's all pretty dangerous-looking yet still ridiculous. ]

Welcome, everyone, to the secret of this world. In here--why are there cats here?

[She blinks, puzzled. A good sign! Looks like, despite everything she has done and worked on, there's still room to catch her off guard in many ways!

The Lady shakes her head]


If you're down here it means you have been snooping around, haven't you? I'm sure this isn't the only place you sneaked into. My, darlings, that's naughty of you. All you had to do was stay on the surface and do nothing, and you could have the happy ending you wanted. Now, since you have seen more than I intended, I have no more option but to kill you. You can only blame yourselves, darlings.

[The Lady glances back at the gate, pensive, for just a moment before slapping a grin on her face]

My followers call me their Lady. My priestesses their Goddess. Everyone else calls me...the Other, for...some reason. [She doesn't seem terribly fond of that moniker.] But you all can just call me Lucrezia. And this here is my servant, Rembrandt as you well know by now. [She turns to him to add:] Oh, feel free to strike fear into their hearts by undoing your current form. The charade is over.

Now, have you all grasped the truth of this project?

[ Nodding his head when he reads the notes—he pulls out the lighter and lights the bandages up!

He's got a flask with alcohol at the bottom of the pouch, which he uses to drench the cloths he brought (there are only enough for the mini-bottles), shoves into the bottles, and lights! Anyone's free to throw these too while they're at it!

in b4 there's an invisible barrier or something

[Before they start tossing shit willy nilly, there's a couple areas where they could hit the machine. Of course, there's the main body of it all, but there are also the wires and tubing that are around closer to the back. And of course, the laser emitting part is also there, although it's also kind of in the air so it's not as easy to hit (and still emitting a lot of energy tbh).

So what exactly are they going to be targetting here? Also keep in mind that an explosion in such a confined space would probably not go over well for most of you, so there's that too.]

[hm. The wires and tubing might be a little explode-y, but he feels that would be a better and less dangerous target than the main body...

He’ll point at the mass and cock his head at Rideaux, since he seems... like he might know...]

[ Nods re: the wires, that's most likely to actually shut the thing off anyway.




Going to subtly get as far away as possible after this. ]

[alright. Time to aim... and ah. You know, he’s feeling it. He’s feeling the crit. SO HERE WE GO EVEN IF NO ONE WILL HEAR HIM-!]

JUDGMENT IS PASSED!!!!!!

[AND HE CHUCKS THE BOTTLE AT THE WIRES AND TUBES!]

[Good man, Seteth. The glass bottles of the molotovs shatter right on impact, dousing the tubing and wires with their load and igniting the area in a smoking blaze. It doesn't take long to see a bit of additional sparking coming from the area along with the smell of burning plastic from the insulation and while the tubing remains, and what they'll notice is this:

The energy being shot out from the emitter portion dies down to nothing. While the Gate itself still remains glowy and full of energy, at the very least, it's pretty much guaranteed that it won't be getting anymore today unless the machine is fixed up.

Good job not blowing yourselves up, molotov team!!]

[YEAH!!!! hopefully he got a good level out of that!!!

He will cover his mouth and move back some, of course...!]

[ Comes back, NOT THAT HE EVER RAN AWAY, YOU KNOW and gives Seteth a congratulatory pat on the back.

Both for this and for comment # 420. ]

[NICE!!! He’ll nod resolutely about it, because he’s not much of a showboater, but damn he feels good!]

The cats are safe, they're safe (probably), and the machine is down!! Thumbs up, team!!

[ Well the Lady told him to leave her fight alone so while he's not getting anywhere near that, he is watching the molotov fest about to begin. And he's swooping in to corral all the cats out of the room.

He has priorities. ]

[ The best priorities!! But only, like, exactly right now because otherwise his priorities suck.

Seeing that though, he does step... further back...
