RUSTED SWORD  [attr="class","omgenmid"] ICLY SET EARLY JUNE DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT [player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1110814484559302747/WINTON.mp3[/player] [break] 🎼 Route 10 (Approaching Wyndon) - Pokémon Sword and Shield [break][break] INVESTIGATION
THE MORE EVERYONE EXPLORES WYNDON STADIUM, the more it seems like an anachronistic piece. Against some of the bleachers, old, rusted halberds rest. Heavy footprints remain dug into the ground, seemingly made by something heavy and plated like a sabaton. Pokemon tracks can be found here too. Something four-clawed.[break][break]
Through the darkened skies, Greyson Connors and his UMBREON act as a guiding light. A healing MOONLIGHT descends upon the stadium, gracing the new Elite Four member and those who come to shelter within it. aaron faust enters beneath the lunar lamp, his XATU stretching its wings to confer a WISH upon them. illeana reyes joins too. Her MEW courts the moonlit stage, casting LIFE DEW to rejuvenate them from their TING-LU-inflicted injuries. Such healing assists Shalin Nariya as her FLYGON sets her down.[break][break]
As the League gathers, GIDEON GRAVES’s ROTOM stands watch. Electric bolts arc around its body as it prepares to lash out against any hostiles. He walks alongside athena oswald, skyler dross and angelo vestri. Through angelo vestri’s ability to SIGHT SHARE, he would see through LATIOS’ EYES that the region has been decimated. It is a murky vestige of what it once was. CORVISQUIRE remain perched on sullied gray rooftops—and in the far distance, the several beams of magenta can be seen through the ash rain.[break][break]
When athena oswald’s DRILBUR begins to dig in the stadium’s tunnel, it does so with pleasure. However, skyler dross’s URSHIFU detects immediate danger. It pulls the DRILBUR back with a burly hand and attempts to bring everyone against the wall as a spout of POISON erupts from the hole. A THUNDER WAVE is loosed from the ROTOM, shackling an incoming globule before it splatters and fizzles against the floor…[break][break]
 mikael rosenberg responds to Gunner Graves’s comms. Enlightened of their new location, he prepares his UMBREON for any attacks. As Gunner Graves’s IRON VALIANT prepares a NIGHT SLASH, its trainer discovers a piece of old parchment by the ominous light of his Paradox Pokemon’s blade:
Within the same field, Thomas Benoit calls out to Kazimir Wynter. These two trainers, former Elite Four of Hoenn, ascertain each other’s conditions within this “ghost town”. As ash and soot fall by their feet, ghost fireheart soars above on SALAMENCE. He notices a quick exchange occurring below.[break][break]
An OCTILLERY owned by paxton concordas fires a precise GUNK SHOT. It strikes kepler brueshaber as Ruby Garcia’s calls upon her BASTIODON to PROTECT him from further attacks. While Ashley Shepard’s DRAGONITE soars above, it discovers another piece of parchment waddling against a crushed bleacher seatboard. It reads:
Others launch attacks too. THEO BECKETT’s MILOTIC snakes toward Ashley Shepard, scales glimmering as Katherine Fairburne’s ILLUMINA SABLEYE uses SPOTLIGHT. kepler brueshaber’s GYARADOS lunges toward paxton concordas’s OCTILLERY with a CRUNCH—but is promptly redirected. It clashes against THEO BECKETT’s MILOTIC’S PROTECT, but in the process, kepler brueshaber is able to find a spiky, red-orange feather.[break][break]
Raziel Beckett hurls a FIREBALL, a fiery power from his RESHIRAM’S patronage. The destructive projectiles soars straight for THEO BECKETT and blue murtagh, but the former’s recuperated LUCARIO manages to tackle them and itself out of the way.[break][break]
By Katherine Fairburne, PENELOPE LIVY, ollie morales and DEREK HOFFMAN stand. The League officials are guarded by the future Head Ranger’s TOGEKISS’ SAFEGUARD. A shimmering glow forms around them, as Shred, Navy and Melody Miro arrive to meet with them.[break][break]
In the process, Navy’s GRENINJA discovers a half-eaten SHADEROOT CARROT... and finds Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki as directed. Before the frog can take her down the stadium’s higher levels, the detective witnesses Shred shift guises. She attempts to scream… but her voice can not carry. Can not pierce through the cacophony of skirmishes occurring around the stadium.[break][break]
To be in this Galar is a surreal exercise in homesickness for Elise Calcifet and Remiel Calcifet. She attempts to protect Vanilla Kingsley as ash scatters across their hair. Despite @vanilla’s company, Biscotti Kingsley is alarmed to see her in this dangerous space. He reunites with her as Adelaide Whiteley joins Elise Calcifet on the field.[break][break]
Nearby, Rowan Wrynn begins to panic. His return to this wretched region conjures a ceaseless dread. Serena Malcolm drops everything to assist him. Her presence is almost enough to ease Rowan Wrynn’s panic—but she notices perhaps, a contributing factor to his unease. A small pool of poison has stained and seeped into his shoe. Should Aidan Hereford assist him with his GENGAR, Rowan Wrynn may be able to navigate his wave of panic.[break][break]
Naomi Sato calls upon her UNOWN-N to detect any portal openings. FOr now, the Pokemon detects little shift in that regard, but due to the nature of this world, it can sense that something had torn into its skies once before… Similarly, Remiel Calcifet attempts to discern what this realm is. Though unconventional, the PSYCHIC ABILITIES of his HATTERENE allow him to gain some intuitive thought, disconnected keywords… memory? Feeling? What is this place made out of?[break][break]
parker jones’s ABSOL attempts to FUTURE SIGHT—but due to the nature of this realm, divining the future seems impossible. Perhaps, what Remiel Calcifet has intuited is connected to such a frustrating outcome.[break][break]
To conserve their strength, Cain Toman and Adrian Malcolm have their GALLADE & VILEPLUME heal. In the dewy moonlight, they nurse their wounds and anyone else, should they be privy to their blessings.
THE STATUE
OTHERS EXAMINE THE EMPTY TROUGH. As Gwyar Wledig watches on approvingly, DEREK HOFFMAN’s SOBBLE spouts water into it. Steadily, the trough fills with cool water for DEREK HOFFMAN to drink from. Ettie and Vanilla Kingsley add to this offering. Treats and berries adorn the edge precariously as Brynnhildr Erling joins Gwyar Wledig in watch.[break][break]
In the process, Ettie discovers a fallen feather, left by something who knows what. It is a spiky black feather, torn ragged by fast winds.[break][break]
As attacks are thrown, Callan Young is quick to act under Greyson Connors’s UMBREON’S MOONLIGHT. His ALOLAN NINETALES conjures an AURORA VEIL around the statue and those nearby. Wintry wisps dance around it as the man surmises if this is similar to an INTERDREAM ZONE. A close guess, though not entirely right. The radiant winter curtain allows the statue to be saved from stray damage from the fights occurring around.[break][break]
Selena Desmarais joins this group by Gwyar Wledig, Ettie, DEREK HOFFMAN and Eris Halla. Her UMBREON stops beneath the veil as Eris Halla touches the statue. She sees no carvings, save for the ones made to depict a regal bunny and its steed. However, in cracks, she may hear or see purplish liquid eating away at the wood.[break][break]
Similarly, Megan Whitmore’s SWAMPERT may be able to hear it too… a poison nibbling away as Johanna Joy’s CLAYDOL stands guard. maverick noah ryder comes too, a previous gym leader to survey the statue—but he would not be able to discern the same sounds. The toxic hue.[break][break]
Summer Atreides’s ABSOL helps lead her to Eris Halla and Raziel Beckett by the statue. Compared to her previous memories of this place, the stadium is a far cry from its previous grandeur, forgotten and sagging with loneliness.
CALYREX
THE COUNCILMAN, FERNANDO SILPH surveys the desolate stadium. His HEATRAN scatters STEALTH ROCKS to provide enclosure and barricade—and as he approaches priam conrad and his CHERRIM, he would notice that something glowing on his arm, through the fabric of his sleeve should he be wearing one. francie myrtle joins them on her HISUIAN ARCANINE, seeking those familiar as the world around them sags with soot and decay.[break][break]
Something or several things in this realm seem to cause priam conrad’s LEGENDARY MARK to react. Exactly what, he’s unsure. However, it glows brighter upon the arrival of an unfamiliar Pokemon. It is the same Pokemon Alexei Ivanov’s LUCARIO notices—and it alerts its trainer and the man beside him, Remiel Calcifet, of its inevitable arrival.[break][break]
A GRIM NEIGH forces all conflict to halt. An eerie wind blows across the stadium: a morbid fanfare for a King who has lost his kingdom.[break][break]
CALYREX rides in on its noble steed, a SPECTRIER, its green fur billowing behind it like an arboreal cape. Unable to speak by itself, it quickly seeks four trainers. Cain Toman, Selena Desmarais, illeana reyes and aaron faust are hoisted up by PSYCHIC ENERGIES, their limbs dangling limply by their side as the Pokemon trots in front of the statue. (CHOSEN BY LOWEST ROLLS PER FACTION)[break][break]
In this state of possession, they can perceive everything the CALYREX says through their mouths.[break][break]
“many thanks for your offerings. my loyal steed has been starving. little grows in this land by nature’s hand, and i have no talent for producing goods from soil.” Though the CALYREX does not speak, the lips and jaws of the four possessed trainers move in puppet-like unison.[break][break]
From priam conrad, FERNANDO SILPH and francie myrtle’s angle, they would see a glowing crystal embedded in the CALYREX’S GREEN BUD OF A HEAD. priam conrad would be able to feel his LEGENDARY MARK glowing in reaction to it.[break][break]
“i sense all of you are not native to this somber reminiscence.” The SPECTRIER huffs as it hungrily eats the treats left by Vanilla Kingsley and Ettie. “mayhaps you can save my kingdom yet...”[break][break]
The Pokemon of the four possessed trainers whimper or look on with concerned faces. To see their bodies float and speak in terrifying harmony is a distressful sight to them too. Schlop, schlop, schlop. The SPECTRIER bears no mind to their unease and the unease of those around. It drinks the water left by JONESY, THE SOBBLE with gratitude and greed.[break][break]
“i am calyrex, high king of this ruined kingdom. i beseech you all to set aside your differences… to grant me one favour..” The royal Pokemon breathes heavily. “restore the hero of many battles. i sense her presence somewhere in the realm… you must create stories of heroism that will bring her back. to do so, i will grant you dominion over galarian cities… the ones that are left. ballonlea. hammerlocke. circhester. motostoke..”[break][break]
The CALYREX stops the possession of illeana reyes, Selena Desmarais and Cain Toman. They drop to the field floor—though they may choose to land gracefully should they so desire.[break][break]
An energy forms between its paws. RADIANT PETALS form from its hands and shoot out across the region—soaring to several locales, ones that feature the same magenta beams angelo vestri and his LATIOS have seen and ones that attract the glow of priam conrad’s LEGENDARY MARK.[break][break]
They land in the following locations previously mentioned: BALLONLEA, HAMMERLOCKE, CIRCHESTER, and MOTOSTOKE.[break][break]
Using the final body of aaron faust, the CALYREX speaks once more: “ask me anything you’d like to know and i will answer if i can… then let me know where you would like to go.”[break][break]
Eventually, aaron faust's body is relinquished too.
ROLL MECHANIC
EVEN NUMBERED ROLLS will allow the question to be answered. ODD NUMBERED ROLLS will cause the CALYREX to ignore your character because of its snobbery. Should a character be chosen to have their question answered, the CALYREX WILL POSSESS THEM to answer them.[break][break]
Your character must indicate which location they would like to go (either verbally - or oocly, in which case, the calyrex will forcibly send them there). Assume other characters or the CALYREX itself have described the locations to them should they not know what each location is like.[break][break]
Choose your location wisely. The characters who go to one city may not be able to meet others in another city for some time.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE KALOSIAN AND HER MOUNT MISSES THEIR TARGET; Selena can now only watch as the entrance to the Ancient Tomb becomes blocked by the STONE EDGE. Fortunately, Lucifer's attack also hits the Ting-lu, if not for
