The Black Flames Operation In Bucharest Romania 240302
In the shadowed heart of Bucharest, under a waning gibbous moon, Meridith and Harriet set out on a perilous quest to intercept an ancient relic of immense power, hidden within the crypts beneath the Stavropoleos Monastery. Their mission was fraught with challenges, not least of which were the magical barriers protecting the relic and the fierce defenders prepared to lay down their lives to guard it. The duo, an odd pairing of youth and experience, plotted their strategy on the move, opting for stealth and cunning over brute force. They decided to take advantage of the city's landscape, using buses for cover as they meticulously planned their approach, aware that timing was as critical as their need for invisibility against their adversaries.
The night unfolded with tense anticipation as Harriet and Meridith engaged in sporadic confrontations with the relic's guardians, soldiers donned in dark robes known as the Black Flame warriors. Their clashes were marked by a mix of gunfire and the swift release of arrows, creating a cacophony of violence that echoed through the empty streets. Despite the odds, the pair's tactics began to pay dividends, allowing them to weaken their opponents' defenses gradually. As the battle reached its climax, a critical moment arrived when Meridith managed to seize the mysterious relic, a turning point that shifted the tide in their favor. With the artifact in their possession, Harriet and Meridith made a desperate dash towards their extraction point, battling through the last of their pursuers and the elements themselves. In the end, their tenacity was rewarded; the Virtuous Extremists Alliance declared victory, marking the successful conclusion of their daring mission in the heart of Romania's historic capital.
At Fri Mar 1 2024, in the city of Bucharest, Romania
Mission: Intercept a mysterious ancient relic and bring it back to the extraction point.
Nested within the historical heart of Bucharest, there rests a hidden relic of extreme power. Profound in significance, this relic is believed to hasten the arrival of inevitable end. The coveted item is secured within an ancient crypt beneath Stavropoleos Monastery, governed by an old priest who is a fierce protector. The path to the relic is laced with layers of magical barriers. The challenging task is to break through these barriers, retrieve the relic and escape without any traces.
Old town Bucharest, Romania
It is night, about 46F(7C) degrees, and the sky is partly covered by dark grey clouds. There is a waning gibbous moon.
Meridith flicks her blade up and nods. "Alright, what's the plan!" she declares cheerily.
Harriet glances around, and then says, "To the bus," to Meridith.
Harriet charges toward bus.
Meridith says "The bus? Why not the corner ma'am?"
Meridith turns to join someone.
Meridith turns to join Harriet.
Harriet explains, "It's going to be forty minutes. We need to take out the warriors as they near us, and then take cover for quite a long while."
Harriet charges toward bus.
Meridith says "Understood! "
Meridith charges toward bus.
Harriet then tells Meridith, "And we will likely lose this cover before that point. So, we huddle here for as long as possible, and then dash off towards that corner when our bus blows up."
Meridith gets into cover beside Harriet, keeping low. "Are we the only people present, ma'am?"
Meridith says "They're taking cover in the alleyway, hmmm..."
After surveying the area, Harriet gives a nod to Meridith. "Unless someone is around a rather large building, which is possible."
Meridith says "I will do my best."
Meridith says "So we need to fetch the relic before time runs down, and make it to extraction after."
Harriet shakes her head. "We can get it at any time. However, we don't want to head over to them until the other soldiers come at us. Those two are so far off, we risk getting ambushed."
Meridith says "Ah... "
Meridith says "So once we defeat their reinforcements, we close to snag it?"
Harriet bites at her lower lip. "It is also unfortunate when no one else shows up, because that tends to mean that we'll get an onslaught of soldiers defending this place... But we shall see." She nods to Meridith.
Meridith says "Vik said he was coming..."
Harriet nods. "Yes, but... he did not respond when I sought to confirm his joining us."
Meridith says "He got busy I think..."
Harriet raises both eyebrows.
Meridith says "What? "
Meridith says "We were hunting together today."
Harriet ohs some right after.
Harriet hmms thoughtfully, peering about.
Meridith shrugs helplessly
Meridith says "Could always bait...?"
Harriet shakes her head. "We have too much time still."
Meridith says "...Share something fun about yourself?"
Harriet sniffs a bit as she thinks. "I'm thirty-two."
Meridith says "Oh, I was gonna guess mid thirties"
Meridith nods softly.
Harriet narrows her eyes at Meridith.
Meridith snorts into mischevious laughter.
Harriet frowns at Meridith, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
Meridith says "Whaaat? "
Meridith says "I was kidding...you're so serious."
Harriet presses her lips together tightly, looking out into the distance. She looks concerned over the lack of soldiers. This brunette can be far too serious, and her attention shifts back to Meridith.
Meridith gazes at Harriet curiously.
Harriet mentions, "Four more minutes, and then we head towards the corner."
Harriet complains lightly, "The buildings out here are far too tall."
Harriet lifts a hand and rubs at her forehead some.
Meridith says "say I could go scout?"
Harriet glances at Meridith, and then she says, "This way," to the woman, sprinting eastward. "No, you are to never break free from the group unless you become super woman and can fly."
Meridith says "Yes ma'am."
Meridith says "Wah! Ma'am?"
Meridith says "Where am I going?"
Harriet calls out, "Yes?" to Meridith. "We're heading to the corner."

Harriet insists, "Patience and using your enemies to further your goals is important, yes," as she nods to Meridith. "It is rare that one should ever rush in, especially when there are only two of us."

Meridith says "I understand patience is key, but we should take advantage of things when we can."
Harriet fires off a shot at alley which damages it.
