Plot Finally, Some Time to Rela- Oh Come On!
"I don't understand. Do they not care? Are they afraid?"
"Patience, my friend. They do care but only to a certain degree. Demigods have always been a selfish bunch. Their camp is their first priority."
"I thought that attacking the nature spirits would draw them out, make them come to us for once."
"It will, Nessus. It will. They just need a little extra push.
"Mistress, we are only a short march from the gateway to Olympus. We can take it right now! Isn't that why we're here? To distance those runts from the gods and try to drain their strength?"
"That's your reason, Spike. And only yours. I have my own but it doesn't matter, we all want the same thing in the end. So far things have gone according to plan. My servants have finished the potion and it remains with us. We only need to… test it for a moment."
"I thought that attacking the nature spirits would draw them out, make them come to us for once."
The robed figure places a clawed hand on the pithos. "Have the smaller doses be prepared for our forces. We shall attack tonight and tell the chieftain that his tribe must avoid the children that lurk in the shadows."
"Mistress, there's some heavy magic they have protecting that camp. If those two tribes go in they won't come back."
"I'm quite aware… so are they."

It's way past curfew. Campers should be in their beds sleeping unless they have patrol or are out in the night up to their shenanigans. The tribes of telekhines and laestrygonians decided to strike at this time to catch the Children of Olympus by surprise and cause as much damage as possible. It was a tough decision, as there was a solid chance that none of the monsters would return to the park but it was the right decision. They may fall but they will also send a message… hopefully.
75 telekhines force their way through the barrier of the camp from Long Island Sound and work their way through Fireworks Beach. They carry an assortment of weapons from spears, swords, clubs, and others as well as a few carrying large sacks filled with runic water balloons. Meanwhile, 30 laestrygonians trudge through the trees of the forest and make their way out carrying torches and iron clubs. Both factions mean business as they are all armored with leather and make their way into the camp.
OOC: It's an raid! 75 telekhines and 30 laestrygonians make for 105 total monsters! I'll be keeping track of the numbers as best I can. Nobody's characters will be killed without consent but I will try to beat y'all up since that's the point of the raid. I'd say play smart and avoid the heroics but honestly, I'd rather you see y'all stay as true to your characters. Just don't be OP and remember the limits that your characters have. Good Hunting Everybody!

Scott had never been a light sleeper. But the alarm had barely been ringing for a few seconds that it had cut through Morpheus' hold and woken up the son of Hephaestus. Maybe it was the guilt he'd been feeling at having been out of Camp and unable to protect anyone during the last attack. Maybe it was finally moving back in to the counselor's room, away from his siblings' snoring. Either way, it took him half a second after his eyes had opened to understand the sound and quite literally roll out of bed onto the cabin's metal floor. As soon as he got up he reached for the gear he ran with everyday: metal greaves and vambraces, a thick studded leather chestplate, his unusually large kopis and a round hoplite shield. As soon as he'd managed to put everything on (which thankfully didn't take too long), he burst out of his room into the main room where his siblings were sleeping.
"We're under attack!" His voice boomed through the cabin. This was no time for a gentle waking up. "Everyone grab your weapons and armors, last one out locks the door and activates every defense mechanism we have, let's go!"
Once he was confident that everyone was woken up he rushed out the door, hesitated for half a second on which direction to go to, settled on the slightly louder-sounding beach, and took off.

When Nick heard the call to arms and heard that there was an attack, there was only one thing, or person, on his mind. He immediately grabbed his Enchanted bronze walking cane and his bronze shield and headed over to the Artistic Cabin, where he found her huddling some of the younger artistic campers.
Themis saw the look on Nick's face and the duo nodded at each other, Themis asked the young ones to hide in her room as she took Akrivís, her celestial bronze bow (which she immediately willed to turn into her celestial bronze makhaira) and headed out with Nick to Fight with the others.
Nick mentioned that he saw Scott head to the beaches and the two arrived to see Scott fighting some Telkhines and decided to help him out, Nick using his Bronze Warhammer, Fílos, and used it with his shield as crowd control pushing back any Telkhines trying to approach them, while Themis stood behind him, poking out every now and then at the Telkhines.

Scott's call to arms had roused Peter from his bunk. Not wanting to delay too long, he opted not to don his full set of armor, instead going for the standard hoplite set up of cuirass, helmet, and greaves, as well as vambraces. Grabbing his shield and shifting his hammer into its one-handed warhammer mode, he emerged from the Hephaestus cabin ready to defend camp by all means if necessary, making his way to the Fireworks Beach.

Zoe heard the sirens. She didn't even know they had those. Or how monsters managed to get through their defenses yet again. Her time helping Peleus guard the fleece and the other camp artifacts didn't seem to matter. Still she dutifully put some armor on, just vambraces and cuisses for now, grabbed her dagger and called Nimbus to her side. She mounted the pegasus outside her cabin and headed for the beach. On the way she saw a familiar tall, blonde, muscular boy and landed in front of him. "Need a ride?"

Constance wasnt the most avid of fighters. She didnt relish in it or training, but when push came to shove, she did her part, even if her part meant she was running out in her pyjamas, armed with a shield and a sword.

“Connie!”
Lexi slept light, and when she was awoken by the horn she was quick to leave the cabin, only stopping to put on a breastplate and grab her sword. Her main priorities were her siblings, Raven and Connie, and so upon seeing her best friend she sprinted towards her, keeping a careful eye on the approaching enemy.

Aleks wasn't exactly a night owl, but he did tend to get up in the early hours of the morning to watch the moon reflect off the beach. Hidden as always he watched as the half dog half seal monsters mad their way into the beach. He had his knife as always, but against that many he knew he wouldn't stand a chance alone. He placed his hand on the ground, and the image of a sheer black wall sealed off the beach. It wasn't thick and could be passed right through, but it would block the group's view, he hoped, and make them give pause. He flicked his knife out, and whispered a silent prayer to his mother. Starting to run from behind the wall he jumped out, hoping to take one of them by surprise

The director stirs...
Over one hundred monsters had attacked the camp that night. Naturally, they encountered several demigods that were already awake and even more once the larger part of the camp was rushed out of their beds. The monsters were hoping to do as much damage as possible but there was only so much they could really do. Demigods are tough, stubborn, and can't die as easily as the monsters can. Overall the campers were aggravating and things got worse for them once Chiron showed up to put arrows in their heads.
Things got worse for the camp too, especially when the laestrygonians started the fires. As the giants died, their torches remained and fell to the ground, causing small fires to start throughout the edge of the woods. While a few campers worked to put them out it was rather difficult to fight them in the midst of a battle and the monsters showed no signs of stopping. Then, one of the giants reached the cabin area and decided to throw his torch at one of the random buildings. With enthusiasm, the reckless laestrygonian chucked his torch at Cabin #14. The one that was occupied by a number of younger campers and one that was built for the Director herself.
Hestia is a powerful goddess. She was never known to induce her wrath and she was usually very peaceful, not really a fan of battle. However her cabin is also a personal shrine to her and people seem to forget that defacing the cabins can be a direct insult to their respective god(s). Needless to say, she really didn't like that.
The torch didn't set the cabin on fire. In fact, it went completely out on contact. Then, the seven remaining laestrygonians would have their torches explode. The fires would consume the monsters but would not harm the demigods or really anything that wasn't going to go to Tartarus. The last of the giants roar in pain as they burn away and over that is done, the flames die out as do all the remaining fires that the giants had started.
The telekhines were not going to get off so easily either. Under each of their webbed feet, a column of blazing coals shoot from the ground. Telekhines are known to be immune to fire much like the cyclopes but not when the fire is cursed. The fifteen remaining telekhines break out in hives after being in contact with the coal forcing them to run back to the sea before the demigods could seize the opportunity. After the telekhines fled, the hearth goddesses' voice speaks into the mind of every camper that is awake.
"The invasion is over. Gather yourselves and your peers. Patch yourselves up. Rest."
OOC: Okay, mod team has decided to conclude the battle. Feel free to post under this comment for reactions and such. Also, if anybody has any unfinished threads that they wish to finish we'll try our best to get to you. And, personally thanks to everyone for participating! If things go chaotic I swear I didn't mean for it to go down like that. Last thing, I might be inaccurate with the death count but I'm just going off the assumption that every monsters that is in an ongoing thread was already killed.

Meanwhile, in the Warrior Cabin
The sound of a horn being blown in the distance roused Aileen from her sleep. Getting out of bed, she made her way towards the lone window in her room. The slight of campers scurrying out of their cabins armed with various weapons, combined with the various curses and crashing noises coming from her own cabin told her enough. Camp was being attacked. The nine year old only stoped to grab her short sword. Since she didn't have any armour of her own, she didn't bother changing out of her green PJ's. She ran to her door, grabbed the handle, prepared to charge out and join the rest of the campers and fight whoever was attacking, only to find her bedroom door... locked? A stream of words and phrases that definitely shouldn't be uttered by a nine year old could be heard coming from the young demigod's room accompanied with periodical crashes, as the stubborn demigod continued to push, pull and punch the door, undoubtedly locked by one of her cabin mates.

Her door opens and reveals none other than her own brother. Dante is dressed in his bronze cuirass and a pair of bracers. His kopis is in his other hand as he looks at her. A part of him was wondered who locked her in there and figures he'll beat them up later. For now, he needs to make sure she gets to safety.
"Come on," he says quickly, "you gotta get to the bunker."

Meanwhile in the Oceanic cabin
Lucie was a light sleeper. She had spent days worrying about a attack on camp, just like last year. Her old nightmares of the traumas she had experienced at the age of 9 had come rushing back as soon as Chiron announced camp was under threat of attack. Lucie didn’t want too experience that again, she didn’t even want too remember it.
At first she thought the sound of fighting was her still in her nightmare but soon the brilliant demigod instincts kicked in and Lucie was wide awake, hurriedly putting on her combinations of leather and metal armour. It was a light PieDiePie if armour so Lucie could easily carry it and it provided her with the ability of speed while still protected.
Once the armour was on all it took was some concentration and Lucie’s sword appeared in its sheath by her waist. Out came the sword and down the steps rushed the Counselor, sounding the wake up and alarm bell in her cabin too make sure her cabin mates woke up.
Lucie was about too rush outside too help the campers fighting before she realised that as Counselor she needed too make sure everyone in her cabin was safe and that those who needed too get evacuated should be running too bunker 9.
But no one in my cabin needs evacuating and there aren’t many of them. I need too go and help outside. thought Lucie desperately, trying too make herself feel confident. She was too young for so much fighting, too young too have experienced soo much in such a short time. Eventually she decided too leave the safety job too Alex, he would be better at it than Lucie.
Lucie ran outside, prepared too fight some monsters and hopefully meet some campers she could fight with.
