The Destined Hosts Operation In Celestriana 250428
In the treacherous terrain of Celestriana, amidst the silent whispers of the dream realm, a fierce skirmish unfolds over an ancient artifact of immense power. The artifact, known to sway the balance of influence within the dream space, attracts various factions to the mountains of Celestriana, each with their own agenda. Among them, Novel, Harriet, and Lanaeis find themselves in a tangled dance of combat and strategy. Novel, wielding his blackened, curved blade with precision, skillfully parries and deflects incoming attacks from the Destined Host soldiers armed with sigil-etched weaponry. Harriet, armed with her elegant platinum warhammer and a rifle, stays vigilant, contemplating the landscape and their tactical advantage, while Lanaeis, expressing doubts and concern over their ability to subdue Novel given his demonic heritage, stands ready to leap into action.
As the confrontation intensifies, Novel methodically thins out the ranks of the Destined Host soldiers, his blade singing a deadly tune. Meanwhile, Harriet and Lanaeis deliberate their next move, pondering whether to engage directly or bide their time. The decision is made to strike, and they launch a coordinated attack against Novel. Despite their efforts, Novel proves to be a formidable opponent, parrying and dodging with unnerving ease. The battle reaches a fever pitch, with Lanaeis's weapons ignited with flame and Harriet attempting to subdue Novel with a tranquilizer dart and brute force. In a dramatic turn of events, amidst the chaos of clashing steel and strained muscles, it is the Spiritual Moderates Alliance that emerges victorious. Novel, under the relentless assault from Harriet and Lanaeis, finds himself overwhelmed, unable to reach the extraction point with the ancient artifact. This pivotal moment marks a significant victory within the dream realm, as the artifact remains secured from those who would misuse its power.
At Sun Apr 27 2025, in mountains near Celestriana
Mission: Intercept ancient artifact of power and bring it back to the extraction point.
The rocky, treacherous terrain of Celestriana has become the latest battleground for control and influence in the dream realm. A powerful artifact, an ancient relic known to hold immense power, has been discovered in one of the solitary communities tucked away in the mountainous region. Wishes, pacts, promises of huge influence and change are tethered to this seemingly inconsequential piece, drawing attention from all walks of the dream space. Each group grappling for control, hopes to secure this artifact for their own agenda, either to consolidate power, manipulate the dream space, or subdue their adversaries. The path to acquiring the artifact is fraught with danger, requiring not just strength but wits to outmanoeuvre both the terrain and competing factions.

Harriet relays to Lanaeis, "It is when you get sixty of them at once and they are coming at you from all directions that it gets a tad tricky."
Novel takes in a deep breath - and releases a 'whew'.
Harriet raises her rifle, pointing it towards the depression to watch Novel in the distance, trying to find his head despite him being down in the ditch.
Novel takes a moment to crack a can of beer with a satisfying 'pssht' noise, tilting his head back as he knocks it back - glug, glug.
Whistling in appreciation, Lanaeis shakes his head. "That does sound unpleasant, yes."
Lanaeis says "What is the plan here? I can get to him in short order if needed, its the matter of his demonic blood that might prove tricky to hurt him."
Harriet continues to squint through her rifle's scope, replying to Lanaeis, "Currently, we're waiting to see where the next group of soldiers come from. They will either go for us, or for him. If they go for him, we can wait... if they go for us, we can jump to him."
Novel notches back his crossbows with his pommel, and quickly fires a shot at a Destined Host soldier with sigil-etched weaponry, opting to jockey into a different position and readjust his grips, sends up a spray of soil near his feet.

Novel looks in lingering satisfaction as the soldier before him is torn in half when his blade rips out, the momentary terror and pain fading from his features alongside the blood in this nightmare realm. The man just goes 'tch', and then leans down, picking up the beer he left on a rock and goes back to drinking.
Harriet asks Lanaeis, "Do you have a taser on you?"
Shaking his head, Lanaeis leans against the rock. "I don't, unfortunately."
Novel starts to slouch.
Novel crushes the can when he finishes it, tossing it over his shoulder.
Lanaeis says "And I can wait, better to let him work on the enemies than us."
Harriet raises both eyebrows. "Unfortunate, indeed. Oh well." She glances down at the one she has. "It's one of the most useful weapons in fighting in group settings."
Harriet listens to Lanaeis and offers up yet another little nod. "It's quite hard to tell if there is someplace close to him where he can get out of here with the goods, due to the landscape."
Lanaeis says "Do you feel comfortable risking it? We can take his position if we can down him, in addition to getting what we came for."
Harriet admits honestly to Lanaeis, "I am good with trying either way. There's risk in any choice."
Harriet eyes her surroundings. "We're bound to see more soldiers shortly."
Nodding, Lanaeis focuses his attention on the far off form of Novel. "Alright. Just give the word if you want to attack now."
Harriet explains, "They aren't going to be happy when they aren't hearing back from their comrades..." But her hazel eyes narrow. "There they are."
