Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

The life was flashing before Marcus as he lept. The insticts had led him to his doom, the beast had understood that Marcus was coming. To retailate it had risen it’s sword, tip looking prepared to penetrate Marcus’s stomach or chest. As the sword came closer and Marcus couldn’t stop his leap, the only thing he could do was to try striking the sword away with his cane. But the most unusual thing happened and it vanished from his hands. Turned to dust, vaporized to air. Now defenseless and advancing towards his doom, the world started to move around slowly.

Marcus saw the beast in all it’s glory. The red mist that left it’s chest. And the beast’s strength, whatever there had been, vanished. Suddenly it’s head flew backwards and Marcus heard a loud snap. The tip of the sword lowered as beast lost it’s grip and the arm couldn’t hold itself straight. Marcus flew against the edge of blade, his chest hitting against it. But without power behind the sword there was nothing but a shallow cut on his clothes that never went even through. The beast fell backwards, on top of the man that had been behind the beast breaking the neck. Marcus fell almost over the beast from the power of his leap, but made a final push with his hands and flew on the beast’s left side.

He rose quickly and full of instict and adrealine he reached for the sword that the beast was holding. A quick look made him notice that the being, “Echo”, wasn’t there. Another quick look outside the door revealed no sudden danger. “Is anyone alive here?” Marcus yelled. Holding a grip from his sword. He looked at the Warrior that had went against the beast, but he didn't seem to be in urgent danger. So he turned to the beast and the man underneath. He tried to push the beast off to get a better sight to this hunter.

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

Marcus’s fled in terror as the being came after him relentlessly. He didn’t care about the cots and hunters on them. The Being had only Marcus in its aims. Everything else was obstacles and barely inconveniences at that. Marcus pushed one cot after another against it as he fled, but “the Echo” always chose the path over them, fell them on it’s way and the comatose, screaming patients had no effect on the Being. It walked relentlessly towards Marcus, who couldn’t properly get to his cane.

Marcus lost precious time with each push. He could sprint to next cot and push it to the being, but it did not stop its movements. Soon there were two cots between them. And Marcus paused for a second to look at the impending doom in front of him: Eyes red as the blood moon had once been, inhuman being walking towards him as death incarnate. A Cot in front of him fell on the floor; then there was only one sleeping resident between Marcus and the being. Horror felt Marcus. He gripped the cot and with strength still unnatural to him, he pushed the cot against the being hard. Cot slammed like it had hit an impenetrable wall and fell down, but the patient flew against the being. Perhaps a nightmare had made it grab the being’s head or the limp body had flown on it’s shoulders, but the effect was immident. Horrendous screams the being started to attack the sleeper.

Marcus watched the bloodbath for a second. Being took hold of the patient and threw it to the ground hard. Then the being was above the patient and attacked, slashed the stomach again and again. Whatever the patient was seeing in his nightmares, Marcus dared to make no quess whether it was more pleasant being among horrors of the dreams or awake with the dark terror clawing the guts out.

Marcus ran, now not stopping against any cots as the being was occupied. He made it back to the cane. And grabbed it. There was little time before carnage behind him would find it’s end and then he would be once again a target, so he had to help the Warrior against the Beast.

Expect this wasn’t the case. Another sleeper had woken up. And by sheer bravery, idiocity or something else entirely, he was holding the beast from behind. Beast’s eye had been pierced by assailants thumb and beast was roaring in pain and frustration. The warrior fell down on the floor hard as the beast in it’s struggling swept the feet under him with a swift kick. And then the man tried to make a kill. Arms underneath the chin, feet against the back, he pulled and pulled hard. The beast was going to lose it’s consciousness, but then started to move backwards against the wall. Such a slam could have made the man lose his grip and put it in danger.

So Marcus ran towards the beast. Marcus's bestial instincts had awoken and decided to leap in order to strike at the beast's head. But in the air the beast would have an opportunity to attack Marcus with its weapons.

I'll make a post now-ish!

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

I admit that the number of players could use a boost. I like this roleplay and would enjoy seeing people have adventures here.

As for the situation at hand. Though I am moderately ok with two latter solutions in case @DrabberRogue can't join in soon, I would prefer a deus ex machina over godmoding the character due to my philosophy regarding RP in general.

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

Marcus’s effort was more successful than he had expected. Though the claw’s grip was firm, Marcus roared, pushed hard and shoved with his feet even harder. His heart was like a row of muskets shooting one after another in his chest and as the being lost it’s grip, Marcus flew backwards several yards.

His fly through the room ended on a corner of a clot. Marcus bounced on the corridor and rolled a moment on the floor. There was a moment when he was on the floor as the clot fell over and it’s screaming patient fell with it, when Marcus was trying to figure out what had happened. Such a leap was not easy for Marcus, not even with a running start. But now the inhuman inside him had once again showed what Marcus could do. Monstrous strength. Beastial transformation. Wild instinct to hunt and attack. The body he had now felt more and more alien to him and he couldn’t promise that his mind was his either.

Truly, he had awaken from a nightmare into another one far more real and horrible. To a world where he was wrong and everything was trying to kill him. But his problem right now was the dark being, “Echo”. Instincts, whether his own or the sinister hunter inside him took over and he rose to face the assailant. It was roaring as it had almost fell backwards from Marcus’s kick, but it instead it fell forward and fell down on it’s all fours. And then like a beast, it ran on it’s four limbs and was coming to him.

Marcus’s problem was that he was now without a weapon to fight against the being. And with his bare hands against the beast’s lethal claws there was nothing else to do but to evade the being. The labyrinth of cots was already broken from it’s beautiful symmetry and it was likely that the being would run over some cots to get Marcus. Nevertheless, he started to sprint. Run as fast as he could, trying to evade the beast with one column of cots between him and the raging being, aiming to get back to the cane. And closer to the Warrior, who was fighting against the beast.

I misread the following part

Marcus successfully tore the monster's hand from his bloody shoulder while simultaneously launching himself several meters away.

And thought that Marcus actually ripped the hand off of the Mad One. Heh. Was wondering if Mad One was that fragile. Anyway, this answers my question.

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

I'll make a post tomorrow evening. Wondering though, Marcus ripped Mad One's hand. Has it grown the hand back or is it crawling and attacking with an arm stump?

To clarify @Ashgan, Marcus imagines things.
