Name: The Last Bastion Simulation
Scenario Rank: Sophomore+ Completion / Senior+ True Difficulty
Special Requirements: Post timer of 96 hours between DM posts. This will overlap with finals time for me towards the end so there may be delays toward the end. Combat XP requirement of 2,000 to apply.
Other Special Notes: Character who complete this with two or less forced skips will be eligible for full EP from the Vytal Festival event cycle regardless of whether or not they participate in the tournament.
Death Enabled: No.
Number of Characters Supported: 4 per Huntsman Academy, so Haven gets 4.
Scenario Overview: This scenario was one of the special exhibitions that Atlas was putting out, exhibitions that replicated to the best degree possible some interesting or famous cases undertaken by Huntsmen teams of the past. The mission replicated in this particular facility was an extremely famous example within the Kingdom of Mistral that occurred in the year 23 AV in the city of Kuchinashi. A human supremacist organization calling themselves The Last Bastion made of disaffected veterans and other anti-Faunus sympathizers had violently taken over a news station under the direction of a rogue huntsman by the name of Brock Cooper. Police response was slow, because it was made clear from the beginning that any police response would result in the loss of all of the dozens of hostages within the building.
The broad strokes of the event were known to anyone in Mistral at the time. Men in masks spouting their manifesto in front of the cameras with the regular news crew blindfolded and kneeling in front of the camera, saved at what seemed to be the last possible moment by two simultaneous breaches in the wall just before the bullets were fired. Three of the newscasters still were shot at various parts of their body during the ensuing fight, but one of the members of the team of Haven Academy trainees had a semblance that was able to heal the wound entirely. They then spread amongst the building as the feed from the roof started just as the one from the ground floor was interrupted. Three members of the team of trainees scattered throughout the first floor in an attempt to save hostages coated with gasoline before the fires started in response to the intrusion killed everyone in the building. They would also have to fight against the terrorists every step of the way, however, including the chief lieutenant of The Last Bastion by the name of Mason Han who was a licensed huntsman himself. Lower in skill than his boss, of course, but still a formidable opponent nevertheless.
The group of terrorists wore gas masks to protect against the stench and had an uncommon number of fanatics who would fight to the last. Some would even go as far as to light fire to the gasoline they were standing in to prevent being captured. The ringleader, Brock Cooper, is broadcast all over the city declaring that he had a bomb planted in the mayor’s residence and was going to blow it once he had killed the ‘race traitors’ that had come to stop his mission. While the other three members of CMSN secured the first floor and evacuated as many as they could, their team leader went up on the roof despite an elevator with its cables cut and a second floor that was a conflagration that would kill everyone on that floor by that point with its size and intensity.
The fight between them was filmed by a news helicopter who had waded a bit too close to the fighting. Cooper was a lightning manipulator and tried to destroy the helicopter three times but was stopped each time because he had to aim the lightning with his palm at his target and his palm was forced downward three times. This, however, made his opponent focus on protecting others and not just herself and took full advantage of that fact. He was a professional huntsman, and an uncommonly strong one at that. The fight was even, so even that the leader of the Last Bastion didn’t realize he was going to lose until it was too late. His aura shattered at the same time as his enemy, yes, but a gravity dust injection kit ensured that his right arm was hacked off a split second after his aura was gone that prevented him from pushing the button on the detonator.
Any re-enactment, of course, was easier than the original. It was possible to know the broad strokes in advance, and generally the sequence of events that would happen. In addition to that, the trainees were provided a map of the area and time to prepare their course of attack which was another added advantage. Exact enemy positions were unknown, and so would their distribution. Small changes would also be made to the re-enactment in order to throw off attempts at extreme pre-planning. All the key events would still happen in these scenarios, Atlas was clear to state, but the manner in which they occurred and how they occurred exactly might differ. The entrance strategy could differ, and so could the distribution of people.
For each of these re-enactment type missions there were two difficulty levels: Completion and True. Completion is getting to the end goal even if the road there was much sloppier and resulted in a lot more death. Completion in this scenario is defeating the lieutenant and the leader of The Last Bastion. True difficulty is getting the same result and doing roughly equal or better than the actual team who did it. True difficulty for this mission is to save all of the anchor desk crew, save the lives of half of the people on the first floor, prevent the helicopter from crashing, only sending one person to the rooftop, and that one person preventing the detonator from being pressed in addition to all the objectives that are under the ‘completion’ difficulty.
Enemy combatants will include two licensed huntsmen playing the roles of Brock Cooper and Mason Han and Atlesian droids playing the role of the rank and file terrorists.
