GOODBYE GALAR: RUSTED SHIELD
POSTED ON May 31, 2023 5:21:34 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]GOODBYE GALAR:[break] RUSTED SHIELD [attr="class","omgenmid"] ICLY SET EARLY JUNE DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT [player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1113335527198965832/wikstromo.mp3[/player] [break] 🎼 Battle Vs. Wikstrom - Pokémon Sword and Shield [break][break] DEPARTURES
THE CALYREX PASSES AMONG PILLARS OF LIGHT. Before some travelers warp into the beams on foot or teleportation like Lucas Holden, the king's body is buried by luka chêne, Genevieve Cromwell and Aurelie Lefevre. The soil is tough. Frozen solid by the tundra's impartial cold.[break][break]
While Caleb Harcourt's LAPRAS attempts to freeze parts of the CALYREX EFFIGY back together, luka chêne's MUSHARNA uses a FRENZY PLANT to weave it in vines. Julia Davis and Aurelie Lefevre's GOLETT attempt to repair it further while kyle lopez's SMEARGLE attempts to reverse time in part; however, it is El Sunderland's ALAKAZAM that brings it altogether. A TELEKINESIS helps amass stones and debris to create a cairn to support it from falling.[break][break]
Tempest Quinn and John Sullivan offer the quickest prayers, while Hitoshi Inoue lays a somber poem by the mound.[break][break]
Regrettably, it is a hasty ceremony. A rushed ritual as Oliver Shrakes understands. As the powers of teleportation bestowed by the CALYREX'S last act begin to fade. As people begin to leave, soyeon kwan wonders if any consequences will come from CALYREX'S DEATH.[break][break]
sergei dachev can not retrieve a petal, for the petals have turned into teleportative pillar. He manages to pick up a small leafy fragment, shriveled by poison, however, as a small, transient souvenir.[break][break]
As Josh Devlin's criticisms falls on apathetic ears, an EARTHEN SPIKE begins to emerge from the ground. Eva Morales's powers of wind attempt to blow the man away from the erupting spear, while Isaac Merlo attempts to warn him, his voice tearing into an echo as he's warped.
[break][break]
Similarly, Elaine Highland suffers from Violet Fairbanks's ambush. The latter's attempts goad her fail, however, as the detective heads for MOTOSTOKE instead. kyle lopez's ASHEN BEASTS dart toward MOTOSTOKE and BALLONLEA as distractions too—but disappear as soon as they set foot in those respective towns.[break][break]
Hideo Kino leaves on GLASTRIER. Newly bonded, the horse is quick to down the carrot before carrying its rider into BALLONLEA.
Eventually, the burial mound is left all by its lonesome and the teleportation magic fades. The Crown Tundra falls quiet, save for the howling winds of an everwinter.[break][break]
The mound stirs. From the cracks traveling across its disturbed soil, poison begins to ooze.
BALLONLEA
THE WHIMSICAL HAVEN IN THE GLIMWOOD is now a grove of despair and death. It is a dark city: nestled so deep in the wood, some of the only light comes from surviving bioluminescent shrooms. Half-timbered cottages in Tudor style are set against thick tree roots. This city is the only city that will have a clear sight of the night sky; there is an observatory high up in the trees only made accessible by a spiraling staircase of mushrooms.[break][break]
Much of the flora that had adorned the city's streets now withers and wilts from the flooding of poisonous sludge. There are modern day conveniences here. Poke Centers. A stadium. Old street lights. However, the residents here seem to be of old Galarian peasantry.[break][break]
HOWEVER, THE CALYREX'S PREMATURE 'DEATH' has shifted the scene in which our trainers find the city. THICK, VISCOUS WAVES OF SLUDGE continue to pour out from BALLONLEA'S STADIUM from where its POWER SPOT should be. The peasantry have erected palisade walls with their Pokemon, shouting warnings and war cries as poison crashes upon them.[break][break]
Suddenly, a tortured scream rips across the city. A peasant is grasped by what appears to be like a wretched, dribbling hand that has emerged from the sludge. They are not Pokemon—no, they are pronged manifestations of what had slumbered in the deep. It pulls the peasant deep into the sludge, the body instantaneously devoured. When attacked, the hands seem easy to down by GROUND or PSYCHIC-TYPE MOVES.[break][break]
GUIDING PROMPTS THE FOLLOWING ARE SUGGESTIONS for actions your characters can take. You are not limited to these actions.[break][break]
🍄ASSIST WITH THE CREATION/UPKEEP OF BARRICADES.[break] 🍄DIVERT WAVES OF POISON SLUDGE AWAY FROM PEASANTS/CITY.[break] 🍄ATTACK THE POISON HANDS.[break] 🍄INSPIRE THE PEASANTRY.[break]
CIRCHESTER
CIRCHESTER WAS ONCE A CITY OF GRACEFUL BEAUTY. Snow no longer falls in beautiful flakes here; instead, ash descends upon its various ruins. Modern day amenities can be found in the city. The stadium, poke Centers, hotels, and sullen cafes. Strangely, the people in this city seem out of place, for they look like old Galarian peasantry.[break][break]
HOWEVER, THE CALYREX'S PREMATURE 'DEATH' has shifted the scene in which our trainers find the city. THICK, VISCOUS WAVES OF SLUDGE continue to pour out from THE HERO'S BATH. It is the famed hot spring of Circhester, where the Hero of Many Battles was rumored to have rested in its fight against the skeleton... The peasantry have erected palisade walls with their Pokemon, shouting warnings and war cries as poison crashes upon them.[break][break]

HAMMERLOCKE
THE ONCE THRIVING CITY OF HAMMERLOCKE now stands as a somber shell of its former graundeur. Arriving here, one can see familiar modern day luxuries. Broken down Poke Centers. Street lights. Towering walls and parapet walks have crumbled in parts, the castle stone weathered and worn by fissures. However, the people who peek out of ragged structures seem anything but contemporary, for they appear to be of Galarian peasantry.[break][break]
They hide from hand-like manifestations that emerge from the sludge. They are not Pokemon—no, they are pronged manifestations of what had slumbered in the deep. They aim to grasp anything that nears them; however, they are easy to down by GROUND or PSYCHIC-TYPE MOVES.[break][break]
In the west side of the city, two heavy double doors can be opened to a set of stone stairs. Climbing these stairs and opening another set of wooden doors will reveal the HAMMERLOCKE VAULT; however, the chamber and its four tapestries are smothered in bubbling poisons.[break][break]

MOTOSTOKE
MOTOSTOKE WAS ONCE THE CAPITAL FOR INDUSTRY. However, it is now a tragic testament to the destruction of this world. Its steam machinations churn sludge in channels where water once was.[break][break]
Steam is now replaced with putrid smoke.[break][break]
There are still modern day services in the city: the stadium. Poke Centers. Factories. The people who still live here, however, seem like they do not belong here, for they are dressed like Galarian peasantry. They hide from hand-like manifestations that emerge from the sludge. They are not Pokemon—no, they are pronged manifestations of what had slumbered in the deep. They aim to grasp anything that nears them; however, they are easy to down by GROUND or PSYCHIC-TYPE MOVES.[break][break]
Motostoke is close to a GALARIAN MINE; several carts of mined ore can be found in the MOTOSTOKE OUTSKIRTS to the east, where a broken down brick bridge prevents further traversal to the caves.[break][break]
HOWEVER, THE CALYREX'S PREMATURE 'DEATH' has shifted the scene in which our trainers find the city. THICK, VISCOUS WAVES OF SLUDGE continue to pour out from MOTOSTOKE TRAIN STATION & ITS STEAM TRAIN. The TRAIN LEAKS ON AN ELEVATED TRACK, spilling sludge like waterfalls all around the city. The peasantry have erected palisade walls with their Pokemon, shouting warnings and war cries as poison crashes upon them.[break][break]
