IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT


[attr="class","aname2"]
"death enabled" raid

[attr="class","ipad"]

[attr="class","ihead"]INSIDE THE VIRGIN & JOCK ELEVATOR
[break][break]

[break][break][break]

there is little time. the fire billows upward in a pyroclastic pillar, threatening to consume all things. as 's cries echo in unheeded laments, 's and @n0ble's pokemon would discover that their attacks strike through nothing; the groudon's visage contorts into a psychedelic spiral, the reds of its body turning into a singular red nose. a clown greets them from the darkness, laughing with a bobbing rhythm like the denizen that haunts the inside of a jack-in-the-box.[break][break][break]

's immediate acts of protection are able to stave off 's self-destructive assault. after @valyx's greninja deters the time-traveling fairy with a potent SUCKER PUNCH, their respective pokemon clash among COTTON SPORES. within the chaos of the jocks' elevator, 's knife draws blood. it plunges into 's palm, driving the blade straight through flesh and bone. [break][break][break]

in desperation, wields her gun, heating the clay of their tension brittle.[break][break][break]


[attr="class","ihead"]LIFTING THE ELEVATORS
[break][break]

releases her rotom. in a heroic, yet despairing attempt, the ghost pokemon attempts to possess the elevator, but to no avail. almost psychically, the bug specialist feels the apathetic chill of the chain the rotom tries to control. instead, the rotom zaps around in frantic paths, exhausting all trials to appease its owner.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

a TELEKINESIS from 's mega metagross tries to lift the elevator; despite the valiant effort, those in the virgin and nerd elevator will realize that the elevator stops short at a certain distance. limited by the chain's thwarting tether, the elevator is confined to a helpless height. even then, ' gardevoir is able to DISABLE the TELEKINESIS, sending the jock elevator toppling back down, jostling all of its participants before 's hydreigon and alakazam are able to lift and stabilize it.[break][break][break]

' infernape ASSISTS 's espeon in their hoisting of the nerd elevator alongside 's pokemon. nevertheless...[break][break][break]


[attr="class","ihead"]THE CHAINS
[break][break]

is the only one attempting a severance of the nerds' elevator chain. his altaria and gallade skirmish with @bryony's and 's impeccable set up of defenses. bryony's turtwig is able deter a brilliant pink MOONBLAST with a WIDE GUARD; however, the PSYCHO CUT is able to rock the jock elevator with a terrifying rattle as the gallade avoids 's ninetales' CONFUSE RAY.[break][break][break]

as and @blake's pokemon prepare a PROTECT and DETECT for the nerd elevator's chain, their scholarly peers waste no time in attacking. ' starmie's SPOTLIGHT proves dangerously effective, redirecting 's lycanroc's STONE EDGE toward the jock elevator's chain. explosions, lightning, beams, and blades clash against the jocks' chains, thanks to @blake, , , and .[break][break][break]

those inside the jock elevator will find that their chain is sturdy... it holds well, but steel chips clatter against the invisible wall of their elevator. 's slowking and his HEAL PULSE fail to restore the chain to its original condition much to their chagrin. finally, and @blake find that their pokemon's FIRE MOVES are the most effective. they burn through the chain, melting its metal with ease.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

those in the jock elevator feel their cab lurch violently... before the intense rush of vertigo tosses the contents of their stomachs upward, their elevator car beginning to plummet. despite 's attempt to strike at the other chains, the potency of his pokemon's attacks is naturally weaker on for the virgin elevator chain.[break][break][break]

with two elevators still chained together, almost all seems lost.
[break][break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]THE CHAINS
[break][break]

[break][break][break]

it appears @blake's call for help is heeded. as the jock elevator drops, the shadowy creature reemerges. it looks worse for wear, its ghostly plumage in tatters. regardless, it re-materializes in time to grab the nerd elevator's chain. its umbral claws pulse a purple force around the elevator and hoist it up alongside the rest. the darkrai glues the chain back to the rest with a swift motion, a pulsating purple orb keeping the elevator connected.[break][break][break]

its single eye widens as the flames surge forth. although trainers may attempt to recall their pokemon, such commands fail to work. as fires rush past and around the elevators, everyone inside will see the burning bodies of the pokemon they unknowingly sent out to their deaths. they can hear the screams. they can see the stripping of flesh. they bang and claw at the elevator walls, begging for help. begging for their owners to save them- or to give them one last utterance of praise. soon, their wails die down, their skin, muscle and bone charred to gaunt charcoal.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

everyone inside each elevator will find that the only discomfort they have is the hot metal of their flooring. as the flames subside, the shadowy creature is nowhere to be found. instead, they can see the burnt husks of their pokemon plummeting into the unhinged jaws of the ever-smiling clown. miraculously, 's ninetales has survived, a curious purple barrier hugging its trembling form.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

in the aftermath of the cremation, many will realize that the deaths of all their pokemon could have been avoided should they have remained still in their elevators. the speed in which the elevators rise to the upper floor has not changed. a sham played for foolish tragedy.[break][break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]THE FINAL FLOOR
[break][break]

[break][break][break]

the elevators reach the upper floor. their walls and chains phase away, leaving their iron ceilings and floor floating oddly on this circular stage. the stage seems to float in some undefined space, and loops hang in the air in various angles. here too, there has been a struggle. claw marks tear across the ground and in the various stones and buildings that float in the air around you. three long, bluish limbs float too, their ends torn in raggedy pieces.[break][break][break]

a tortured howl sounds in the distance. it's muffled. one of the rings vibrates with an unnerving resonance.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

once the last survivor enters their elevator, their iron-barred doors close with a shrill creaking. all of your pokemon are immediately cast back into their balls. inside these broad chambers, you can hear the ominous chains dragging your elevator cab upwards. the metal floors are stained with rust... or blood. it's difficult to discern. through the iron bars, you can only see the harsh walls of cold concrete. the other elevators can not be seen.[break][break][break]

as your elevator scrolls upward, you spot writing on the northern wall outside of your elevator cab. each message disappears below you as you pass them in this cryptic climb. the first message reads:[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

the sounds of the reeling chains from the other shafts become audible. the violence of their clanging is almost deafening as your elevator cab begins to breach an open space rather than a narrow shaft. another message is scrawled upon the wall.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

eventually, the wall recedes to reveal that your elevators are being hauled up by massive chains toward an upper floor. the elevators leave their shafts into a large, circular expanse like a floorless tower. freed from the narrow constraints of their shafts, the elevator cabs suddenly swing toward each other, occasionally slamming into the other cabs before spinning away. their large steel chains are connected to one large chain that hauls each cab up.[break][break][break]

suddenly, the ground below disappears into darkness. two baleful orbs of yellow emerge in the black.
[break][break][break]


[attr="class","ihead"]LET GO OF THE DEAD WEIGHT
[break][break]

a roar greets everyone's ears, shaking the cabs and the chains as an odd creature, similar in appearance to the groudon of myth, illuminates its magmatic maw. a massive fireball erupts from its mouth. it surges forth with frightening speeds. it is clear that the elevators will not make it up in time at this sluggish speed.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

even at this distance, you can feel the intensity of the hellish heat. it heats the elevator's metal floor. melts the rubber of your soles. singes the flesh should you touch it with bare flesh.[break][break][break]

the iron-barred walls of your broad, expansive elevator cabs disappear; however, should you touch where they once were, an invisible wall greets your finger tips.[break][break][break]

furthermore, should you summon your pokemon, you will notice that your pokemon are cast outside of the elevators. regardless of their ability for flight, every pokemon will float freely in the space around your elevator cabs.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

using your pokemon, two elevator cabs' chains must be severed, dropping their respective cabs alongside all of their passengers in order for you to make it to the upper floor. which elevator cabs will you sacrifice and will the passengers in those cabs allow you to sacrifice them?[break][break][break]


WHAT WILL YOU DO?
[break][break][break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]INSTRUCTIONS
[break][break]

please ROLL with your action. the roll will not be the sole determiner of success furthermore, you only have time to command THREE POKEMON WITH ONE MOVE EACH.[break][break]

should you attack a chain(s), ensure that you identify the chain as JOCK CHAIN, VIRGIN CHAIN, or NERD CHAIN.[break][break][break]

the next mod post will be on 10/25 PST.

  • with every post, please include a tl;dr of your character's actions. some posts may require rolls using the dice command.

[attr="class","swarmText"]

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT the dunes stir restlessly. as howling winds unearth the cursed bodies of smiling cofagrigus, you watch as they rise from their slumber. perhaps, they have come from forgotten tombs, inhumed in a banished history.[break][break]

[break][break]

they seem to be on the move. a migration. a pilgrimage to another burial ground after a cursed hibernation.[break][break]

what will you do?

instructions



  • only one character of yours may participate.
  • in order to qualify for the capture, you must use ONE halloween-themed GIF somewhere in your post.
  • write an in-character post of your character attempting to catch one of the cofagrigus with a roll.
  • highest roll will earn a shiny cofagrigus (gender of your choice); second highest will earn a normal cofagrigus, and the lowest roll will also net a yamask.
  • the attempted capture will not consume a pokéball.
  • the cofagrigus have movesets that will be revealed at the end of the event.
  • this is a time-limited event and will end 10/25 (11:00PM - PST).

IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT


[attr="class","aname2"]
"death enabled" raid

[attr="class","ipad"]

[attr="class","ihead"]THE DEAD
[break][break]

DRAMATIC FLASHES OF FIRE & LIGHTNING strobe across the misty-terrained and electric-terrained graveyard. each fiendish reveals a corpus of gore. twitching limbs. bodily pyres. the gnashing of splintered teeth. as 's powders erupt into walls of flame, the coarse stink of burning flesh strangles the senses.[break][break][break]

CONGRATULATIONS.
[break]

THE RAID PARTY HAS OVERCOME THE TOTAL. ONLY AN UNFORTUNATE FEW (<50) WILL LOSE THEIR PKMN TO THE HORDE RATHER THAN EVERYONE.
[break][break][break]

as the zombie horde rushes forth, the pokemon who release their galvanic energies find their attacks being funneled to 's
LIGHTNING ROD MANECTRIC, sparing those in the sky. a frankenstein-lightning plunges into the heart of the horde like a spear. for a moment, the entire courtyard is illuminated bone-white. the ensuing explosions of electricity and fire toss the mass of corpses all over.[break][break][break]

fortunately, the zombies have weathered the violence of death before. fortunately for them. an ethereal resilience resides in some of their bones. explosions from the fire and lightning toss clusters of zombies back and closer.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

's galvantula pauses, witnessing its DISCHARGE be siphoned into 's manectric. the zombies immediately before it toss themselves onto the arachnid, popping its beady eyes with their teeth. likewise, 's raichu discovers that its THUNDER is drawn away. the last things it sees are the unhinging maws of the dead.[break][break][break]


although @bryony's altaria is able to flee with its empowered MOONBLAST, the ensuing detonations cause one of the undead to be flung onto her whimsicott. those nearby will be able to hear the poor fairy's cries as its cotton is ripped to shreds, its agile body now torn asunder. several zombies are tossed upwards. despite their missing legs or bodies, their amputated bodies catch 's chandelure and dig into its spirit and black frame.[break][break][break]

@blake's aegislash is bitten into, but the teeth scrape off its metal blade. however, his golisopod is not so lucky. as it attempts to EMERGENCY EXIT, the expeditious zombies are able to latch onto its limbs, tearing them off in damning bursts of blood and pus. 's meowstic faces the same fate. zombies surround the psychic cat and deafen its mews under a mass of undead.[break][break][break]

everyone's efforts are enough to provide enough time for those at the gate; however, witnesses disaster. the remaining zombies are drawn to the manectric's resounding attack, the noise, energy and light attracting their grasping hands and mouths. despite @n0ble's mega-evolved garchomp, the undead target the dog. those closest swarm the manectric, biting into its spiked body. oddly, the zombies stop attacking and peel away. from the heap of canine-corpse, 's mega manectric...[break][break][break]

with 's encouragement, and @mrtm87 test the locks. with their pokemon, they strike the colored locks with an elemental assault. empoleon, decidueye, and infernape watch as their attacks connect... and are rewarded with screaming. each lock breaks with a wail, and the gate heaves its last breath. its iron lungs exhale to swing the doors open.[break][break][break]

's corrupted manectric (wearing a t-shirt) bolts toward the party. each stride causes the flesh from its limbs to slough off. as the last trainer and their pokemon pass through the gate, it slams close to the sound of clawing.[break][break][break]

inside, the party is greeted to a grand foyer. chandelure float above, but lack any expressiveness. instead, they hover in benign, hypnotic orbits. beside the floating ghosts, portraits of the black creature (darkrai) they have seen before dominate the walls. however, they are vandalized with six sets of claw-like markings.[break][break][break]

before them, there are three large cast-iron elevators. no other exits exist. there are plaques above each elevator. they read:[break][break][break]

lightning flashes. within the windows, the silhouettes of the undead cut harshly against the glass.[break][break][break]
