RAID EVENT

A PATH OPENS

WHEN THE SECRET ENTRANCE OPENS, the entire island quakes. an internalized mechanism churns deep within its depths, out of sight, but a reminder to proceed with caution. like DURANTS, each trainer must scramble underground. the constant throe of battle threatens to pick them off should they dally for too long.

[break][break]

before Adrian Malcolm and THEO BECKETT can enter, several attack bombard their stationary pokemon. some strikes land true, forcing them off the PRESSURED PLATE. with a resounding slam, the entrance closes shut, isolating them from their allies. there will be time to rejoin them later but for now, they must fight to survive.

[break][break]

an unfamiliar pain flares along Adrian Malcolm’s arm. for a moment, he believes he can see pink lights tracing along his veins. but when an attack covers him in sand, he’s forced to close his eyes. when they reopen, his arm is back to normal. or had it been that way all along?

[break][break]

ROUND 1 END!

[break]

please coordinate between each other if you would like to create a RACE BATTLE THREAD.[break][break]

you may only participate in a SINGLE race battle thread. the thread will function like a normal battle where your characters can earn MP through the same methods applicable to missions. [break][break]

you may also fulfill the following prompt in your race battle thread for 200 MP:[break]

have your REPRESENTATIVE POKEMON killed in action. [break][break]

the pokemon must die due to your character PRIORITIZING keeping the door open over the pokemon's safety and livelihood.

DELVE INTO THE DEEP

THE CAVE LEADS THEM DEEPER INTO THE DARK. no matter how they try to illuminate their path, there are always more shadows awaiting. the path deepens with every step. soon, the sounds of battle are left behind, muffled by the echoes of their own company.

[break][break]

their spelunking escalates from a sharp decline to a straight drop. upon reaching a clearing, their way forward shifts to downward. right into hell. ropes, pokemon, and whatever other tools they have on them will have to guide them. for many of hoenn’s explorers have acquainted themselves with the unwinding underground of spontaneous TERA TUNNELS.

[break][break]

well into their descent, the sound of heavy footsteps threaten to sway them off their mounts or harnesses. it looms ever closer, ravenous enough to become an entire stampede. fickle orange lights, no bigger than the pokeballs on their belts, grow increasingly larger as they approach.

[break][break]

a swarm of HEATRAN approach! something has disturbed their slumber—something that predates your presence in these caves. you can only assume that something further down has forced them out, inadvertently sicking them on you.

[break][break]

[break]

with open maws, they help light the path, expelling a spray of FLAMETHROWER at any and all that stand in their way. fend them off while protecting yourself! their need to escape will overshadow their aggression. as long as you survive long enough to see it.



[break][break][break][break][break][break]

RACE MECHANICS

RULES

THIS MEGATHREAD will test how well your faction can clear moderator requirements in a timely manner. [break][break]

each player and their representative pokemon is a resource for your faction to utilize. each round will introduce an obstacle that certain pokemon can clear. [break][break]

it is up to players to address these obstacles by following the moderator prompt. [break][break]

it should be noted that each participant can only post ONE TIME. once you have cleared an obstacle, you are essential ‘used up’. [break][break]


the EXCEPTION to this rule is if a participants wants to pay 500 MP. this will allow a player to assist with the obstacle without being ‘used up’. [break][break]

each faction will tackle the same obstacles with different values to reflect the disparity in players. once an obstacle is cleared, a moderator will provide information on which players cleared that particular obstacle. [break][break]

those player may now create a FACTION RACE BATTLE. this is just a battle thread that allows both participants to earn MP.

FAQ

WHICH OBSTACLE SHOULD I CLEAR?

[break][break]

if your pokemon is versatile, you should pick an obstacle your pokemon excels at. for the first round, players with the heaviest pokemon for their faction were tagged as a hint. if no obstacle sticks out, you may want to wait just to ensure your faction does not hit a bottleneck.

[break][break]

however, account for the OOC aspects of this event. if you do not think you will be available later on, or cannot finish a FACTION RACE BATTLE quickly, you may want to clear an obstacle asap.

[break][break]

WHY WOULD I PAY 500 MP TO HELP CLEAR?

[break][break]

to help your faction progress in the event! should one faction fall behind by the end of the event, this will have an effect on the narrative outcome.

[break][break]

another reason you may want to contribute is to post again. some players may enjoy the spotlight or feeling that their character is actively contributing to their faction. however, it should be noted that this does not entitle paying players to rewards or moderated acknowledgement.

[break][break]

WHEN SHOULD I PAY 500 MP?

[break][break]

your faction may run low on resources the longer this event goes on. if they stall due to a bottleneck, that would be the most opportune time to assist. likewise, if your faction is coming close to a deadline, your help may ensure that they clear it on time.

[break][break]

WHY IS THIS EVENT CALLED A RACE?

[break][break]

both faction are attempting to clear obstacles by deadline. should they be unable to, they will face a steeper obstacle or just have to wait longer before the next moderator response. should a large enough gap happen by the end of the event, this will heavily influence the narrative outcome of the event.

[break][break]

WHY IS THERE A DEADLINE INSTEAD OF ASKING US TO MOD REQ WHEN COMPLETED?

[break][break]

the deadline gives both factions X amount of time to clear. should they be unable to clear by deadline, they will be given a static time delay as well. this is to help mitigate the discrepancy in activity between players within a reasonable threshold along with accommodating varied time zones.

DEADLINE

clear the obstacle by SEPTEMBER 22TH, 11:59PM PST to advance without delay. completing the obstacle after this deadline may come with penalties.[break][break]

RAID EVENT

THE RACE BEGINS

THE SOUND OF WAR baptizes the island with offerings of fainted pokemon and broken war vessels. constant battle remaps its fluid borders with newborn landmarks. ones that disappear when high tide forces both sides to give up ground.

[break][break]

for the ocean too wishes to claim this island for itself.

[break][break]

despite the intensity, neither faction is able to dominate the battlefield long enough to drive off all opposition. when trainers find themselves exhausted, they retreat under the suppressive cover fire of their allies.

[break][break]

wounds are patched. pokemon are traded. and combatants return to continue the fight their predecessors couldn’t finish.

[break][break]

in time, this constant ebb and flow of trainers draw as long as the days grow old.

[break][break]

the only semblance of peace comes from the vast mountain jutting from the island’s center. here, curious trainers try to find a way to infiltrate a cavern with no entrance. energy readings proves that there’s something inside but no one knows how to access it.

[break][break]

not until Adrian Malcolm's COPPERAJAH and mint frost’s baxcalibur step onto a buried PRESSURE PANEL.

[break][break]

stone walls grumble as an opening creaks wide. it’s not enough to crawl through but with added WEIGHT, or strong enough pokemon, it just may be possible to pry it wide enough to enter.

[break][break][break][break][break][break]

ROUND 1

PLEASE REVIEW THE MECHANICS SECTION PRIOR TO REPLYING

TO PROCEED, players will have to utilize pokemon whose total POKEDEX WEIGHT reaches 1500 lbs. [break][break]

players who wish to participate this round should make a post that: [break][break]

• mentions their pokemon stepping on the PRESSURE PANEL or forcibly widening the opening for others.
• include the pokemon species and it’s pokedex weight in their notes.

[break][break]
players may pay 500 MP to assist with clearing this obstacle. they must still post but will not be considered ‘used up’ by the race. [break][break]

their post will count as 400 lbs or the weight of their pokemon (whichever is more advantageous). [break][break]

battle match ups will be posted in the next MOD POST.

RACE MECHANICS

RULES

THIS MEGATHREAD will test how well your faction can clear moderator requirements in a timely manner. [break][break]

[break]
