PRISMATIC PENITENTIARY
POSTED ON May 11, 2024 6:23:47 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]PRISMATIC PENITENTIARY [attr="class","omgenmid"] RAID EVENT [player]https://file.garden/ZXZrnWMYuz15frfJ/HOENN%20MUSIC/LOYALTHREETHEME.mp3[/player] [break] Loyal Three Theme TOXIC CHAINS DREAMS ARE THE SEAS OF INNATE DESIRES. Imagination is then, the vessel, that carries the phantasy from slumber to waking. Imagination becomes the ink the quill is dipped into, the medium in which the dreamt fictions metamorphose into reality. But who can say with authority that the imagination is not real as well? When one dreams, when one imagines, how many worlds spawn from the fantastical fount?[break][break]
What is experienced, what is perceived, what is remembered even if rusting, is that not woven by reality's delicate hand?[break][break]
There are more guards than usual stationed on the day of the uprising. Perhaps, a higher power has been made aware of the cracks in your indoctrination.
WEAKLING WARD THE UPRISING BEGINS when Shred's TOXIC CHAIN docks into the OKIDOGI'S own festering fetter. Its arrogant glare melts away into a cowering countenance: pain, humiliation, deconstruction. A fatal concoction for the ordinary mortal mind floods the canine's own, and it howls, recoiling.[break][break]
It yanks its chain back—but PETRA MONROE's condescending command hampers its retreat. The maneuver buys enough time for Remiel Calcifet's newfound abilities to impose his vision of an IDEAL WORLD upon the hound's psyche. Combined with pestilential empathy for an orichalcum-scorched Shred, the OKIDOGI is set aflame under HARSH SUNLIGHT. Its Frankenstein-fur burns, summoning bitter pillars of smoke as others escape to the descending platform.[break][break]
The sun burns bright for Shred. In the future, the past of this prison will catch up to him.[break][break]
Elise Calcifet's chain bursts into a radiant sword. Blue petals explode against aggressive Megalopolan guards. These poor souls have been STEEPED FOR FAR TOO LONG IN THE NEVER-ROT'S POISONS, failing to break free from their trances. Before she can be caught off-guard, Noel Parker's chain extends far, a BLUE FLAME forcing a flanking Megalopolan away.[break][break]
An amethyst sphere orbits around Greyson Connors, preventing enraged Megalopolan men from chasing him and Naomi Sato. They crumple to their knees in morbid prayer, their strength siphoned from their already tired bodies. As willpower courses through Naomi Sato and Elaine Highland's chains, they are granted visions of their enemies weak points. Although the vulnerable spots on their enemies may vary, they will discover an unnerving realization:
Eduardo Hisakawa's chain defends Beau Fontaine from a lunging Megalopolan, parrying the frenzied alien back with a loud thwap. After a powerful punch from Beau Fontaine that crumples another guard, the OKIDOGI who has since torn its chain away from Shred's own, lunges for them. Still on fire, the burning canine swings its Herculean loop towards them. Immediately, Eduardo Hisakawa's CHAIN parries it much to the canine's dismay. Another punch sends the chain backward, throttling the OKIDOGI back, its paws skidding across the floor, claws carving aggravated trails into Megalopolan metals.[break][break]
Sensing Kyrenai Black's taunt, the burning OKIDOGI swings its chain before it can slide too far backwards. However, her telekinetic chain coils into an impressive shield. The chain recoils backward, striking the OKIDOGI in the chest. Barking, its own chain pulsing with more of its potent poison, it swings the chain once more in a frustrated arc; however, ever blackwell's limb-like chain-shield deflects the chain once more. These deflections grant Genevieve Cromwell an opening to strike with her Atlassian limb, punching the yelping OKIDOGI back and onto its rear.[break][break]
Michael Davis' fiery aura prevents other guards from encroaching upon the platform, flames lashing out from his arms and hands while Josh Devlin weaved between them, slicing their invaders with his sword-like chain.[break][break]
Nearby, Cillian Quinn's chains interface with his dormant abilities. Shadows evardly erupt into tendrils, their umbral font tinged with poisonous purples. They restrain them—and briefly hold the OKIDOGI in place as the warden swings its NOW BURNING CHAIN against an unnamed prisoner.[break][break]
Obdurate, stubborn, and still powerful, the OKIDOGI manages to splatter a rebel with its strength despite its injuries. The canine howls, its haggard cry melding in with the cacophony exploding from the lower rungs of the penitentiary and its own. The Okidogi swings its chain once more. This time, toward one Mimi Hirose who is restrained by a Megalopolan guard. Before it can finish her, her sonic voice disorients her enemy, granting her enough time to escape before the chain cleaves the guard in half. Collateral damage; however, to the warden, even these guards matter little.[break][break]
Shots fire at the OKIDOGI from paxton concordas's tripod-chain. Each blow is an earsplitting, powerful burst. Each bullet that lands impact forces a pained yowl from the beast, forcing its powerful muscles to recoil. Each projectile shot grants zachary stellar, Lulu Flint and Hideo Kino the ability map the safest paths. As Lulu Flint's shadows whip across to strike another guard with a flash of celestial light and zachary stellar's starry-purple trails swirl across the prison, they intuit/realize the following:
No more casualties are sustained by the uprising in the WEAKLING WARD thanks to paxton concordas's efforts.[break][break]
Alexei Ivanov dismantles several encroaching guards with his chain accessory, while Genevieve Cromwell breaks a guard in half with her muscular chain-limb on her way to the platform with Hideo Kino. Several of the mauled are "resurrected" by MARISOL SIMONE's chain, zombifying them with the putrid poison of her muscular manacles. As they rise, Violet Fairbanks takes the time to ask a conscious Megalopolan the best way to the bottom:[break][break]
"by platform, by tube, by force. the ship is an instrument of cyllora's rotting mind."
BADLY POISONED THE TOXIC CHAINS. A BLESSING AND A BLIGHT. They pump poison into the despairing heart and infect the feeble.
These characters will feel the effects of the status condition, BADLY POISONED, until they are cured.
THE OKIDOGI SEEMS HEAVILY INJURED. However, it begins to resurge in strength... aided by a mysterious force. Chains rush down from the hole in the ceiling, smashing the TERA CRYSTALS embedded within it. They wrap around the ailing OKIDOGI—but before you can capture a glimpse of what is approaching, your platform descends into the DUMMY WARD.
DUMMY WARD
THE FIRST MOCHI IS THROWN BY Andrea Vaneau. The disc strikes the MUNKIDORI between the eyes, causing it to swipe angrily at its face. It buys enough time for Thea Naito to punch the monkey onto its heart-shaped butt: a testament to the skills and discipline of the Naito Dojo. Afterward, Aubre McKenna-Settentrione follows suit, her chain lunging out from her cape to strike the monkey as Megalopolan guards mobilize, charging forth in forced frenzy.[break][break]
The MUNKIDORI lashes at several unnamed prisoners with a PSYCHIC. However, Laurence Whateley's guardian touch allows them to endure the mind-melting onslaught. The monkey shrieks and stomps its feet.[break][break]
As the MUNKIDORI recovers, Ettie lunges for a Megalopolan. The resulting scene is a mess of unnerving red. Isaac Merlo is able to rocket past the prison pandemonium. Megalopolans are deterred by his powerful kicks, preventing them from giving chase. Andrew Fisher jabs his attackers with his toxic chain, the poisons coursing through their bodies like wriggling Seviper. The aliens fall to the floor, writhing in agonizing, humiliating shapes of pain.[break][break]
DESIREE BLOOMS gracefully dances across the ward. Effortlessly evading the claws of her Megalopolan captors, she springs toward the platform. Eris Halla is able to avoid harm as well. As Megalopolan guards aim to overtake her, her chain lunges out to restrain those who come close enough. Like Tempest Quinn, who protects others with his lavender-hued barriers, Eris Halla and the seafaring beast will detect within the depths of the Megalopolans' eyes, hesitance and horror.[break][break]
Emboldened by Johanna Joy's chain-antenna and Melody Miro's toxic voice, Amor Rose takes to the skies like Andrea Vaneau. Like a jet, he soars toward the monkey: the path cleared by Melody Miro's conducting timbre. Its chain rises above its forehead in warning, causing the monkey to swerve as the man dives in. However, the blade-like feathers cut across its body, expelling a beautiful ribbons of blood. The MUNKIDORI shrieks.[break][break]
It scrunches its limbs together, chain waving around like a loose Vitamix. Briefly, howard slayte will be able to foretell incoming mortal peril; however, the vision switches off as MAKI YUKIMURA manages to strike the monkey with her trust-funded, thorny chain. The resulting wave of psychic power is weaker and as it spreads across the ward, Megalopolan and human prisoner are struck.[break][break]
However, Leon Settentrioné (who will still have a portion of the toxic chain connected to his body) and his his manifested sentinel act as a shield for many. Similarly, Knight Naito will be able to do the same, his toxic chain a full suit to defend himself and those nearby. Laurence Whateley's ability softens the blow for those he touches while illeana reyes's surrounding decay weakens the wave as it nears her and Roy Aker. Megalopolans who grow weak near her are easily struck down by Roy Aker's boost to his Draconid brawn, each blow catapulting aggressors into the air like toys.[break][break]
THE PLATFORM FROM THE WEAKLING WARD DESCENDS. Though it is crowded, the DUMMY WARD begin to board, for there is only one way down. After all, Cassandra Kubrick will be able feel that their descent is the correct direction. Her heart is tugged too—and the gravity she experiences is graced with an emotive power. AZELF may have hinted at its location, but deep down, she knows her Pokemon are down there too.[break][break]
Everyone in the DUMMY WARD boards the platform too. For now, PENELOPE LIVY's ability allows her to see that all the characters here are required for their current survival. Curiously, she can detect the following strand of fate:
Throughout the mayhem, Alba Evovae is able to avoid all danger. As a gazer of the stars, the man artfully evades spiraling projectiles, thrown bodies, and more. From his vantage point, he and jack wainwright, who sports a scrying eye at the end of his toxic chain, will see something no one else has seen—nor will be able to see until later:[break][break]
A MEGALOPOLAN hovering down in a mass of TOXIC CHAINS. Their lips are tightened into a scowl. A visor obscures her eyes, but the intensity of her glare burns through the ocular panel. The chains wrap the OKIDOGI from the previous ward and reel its body upward. Before they can see anything more, the platform descends to the UGLY WARD.
BADLY POISONED THE TOXIC CHAINS. A BLESSING AND A BLIGHT. They pump poison into the despairing heart and infect the feeble.
These characters will feel the effects of the status condition, BADLY POISONED, until they are cured.
UGLY WARD GALAR IS REMEMBERED BY Navy as his chain manifests into a gun-like weapon. His imagination permisses this recreation and as chains fly from the barrel, the sacred connection between fable and facticity strengthens within the Pale Rider's psyche.
Chains lock down unnamed prisoners from being charmed to the FEZANDIPITI. Even the bird is rooted as it wafts its grand wings, blades of wind scattering across the ward. Before the Feathered Warden can escape its bondage, murky tendrils from THEO BECKETT's newfound powers latch onto Zev Harcourt. The hand-like chain Zev Harcourt wield fires its laser and severs one of FEZANDIPITI'S wings. Its ability to charm has been significantly hindered.[break][break]
As Zev Harcourt repositions, Neffatari Nzingha protects him. Her chain forces approaching enemies to expand and overgrow, their bodies inflating into segments like the chains themselves. Encumbered by the growth, they succumb while John Sullivan scatters an aura of healing granted by his own chain. Those near him are reinvigorated physically in spite of the deluge of despair threatening to submerge their brief resurgence of will.[break][break]
The bird shrieks in pain as Megalopolan guards surge onto the scattering prisoners. annalise henderson swats THEO BECKETT's influence away from her. Instead, she siphons life from an encroaching Megalopolan. With rising vampiric vigor, she bides time until the platform arrives and sucks the vitality from the threats that surround her. Similarly, Aurelie Lefevre goes on the offensive. Her clawed gauntlets maul the Megalopolan attackers. Being the bottommost ward, this ward must fight the longest after all... and she makes deadly use of her leonine lunges.[break][break]
Similarly, Grigori Sokolov becomes an untouchable pugilist. His dexterous chain deflects and parries pouncing chains, hands and teeth. As he contests his incoming assaulters, BARNABY FINCH's shadow nooses strangle those would make the fight unfair for him—and Aurelie Lefevre.[break][break]
Flower petals storm around BARNABY FINCH as he aids his allies. They cut into flanking Megalopolan guards, darting in and out like hummingbirds. Elisabeth Fiorelli's love for the man manifests as symbols of a simpler time...[break][break]
Conversely, oscar clayton accepts THEO BECKETT's help. The Scientist's smaller chains grab onto Megalopolan guard and are forced to do his bidding. They scurry toward the FEZANDIPITI like spiders. As the wailing Avian nurses its bleeding socket, it is forced further away by the oscar clayton's troop. Eventually, the aliens are sliced by a strike from its single wing.[break][break]
Also empowered by THEO BECKETT, jayden cross terrifies the guards in freya morningstar's draconic path. They fall to their knees, forced to relive a cyclical hell in their minds. freya morningstar's chain is aflame with blue dragonfire. Any caught in her way are battered and burned, while FERNANDO SILPH manages to maneuver through the battlefield unbothered and alone.[break][break]
Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki remains at peace, a youth surrounded by pacified Megalopolan mouths before Navy reaches her. Meanwhile, ameena abadi strikes the guards with her chain. Like sleep balms, each strike knocks her enemies out. Nearby, Diana Cavendish petrifies her enemies as well. Her emotions expel with a pulse of her chain and out through her hand, encasing them in morbid sculptures of ice.[break][break]
FINALLY, THE PLATFORM ARRIVES. The WEAKLING & DUMMY WARD join the party, however, a looming shadow soon follows them. Although there is little time for their escape, Yuina Higashi experiments with her newfound abilities. Megalopolans who manage to charge after her, including a recuperating and vengeful FEZANDIPITI are looped back in TIME, their bodies staggering back like stuttering animation frames.[break][break]
In the meantime, priam conrad dispenses portions of his chain around the ward. They act as firecrackers, explosives. Several segments are dropped into the floor above the feeding pit and into the pit itself. Immediately, they EXPLODE, rocking the prison.[break][break]
As the FEZANDIPTI, one-winged, and furious, attempts to spread its pheromones once more, it slumps to one leg....[break][break]
jack wainwright's scrying cyclops-chain witnesses the descending Megalopolan once more. Furthermore, it witnesses a wrapped up OKIDOGI & MUNKIDORI in dangling chains. However, it catches the sight of another creature. A circular, peach-like being with a black face at its center. A line divides the body—but it seems more like a shell, for chains overflow from it and drape around the Megalopolan, suspending them in the air alongside the wardens.[break][break]
jack wainwright would also be able to see that the chains appear to be healing the wardens...[break][break]
Its approaching presence causes your own chains to constrict and tighten. howard slayte will be able to detect with his ability, that this incoming threat will spell MORTAL PERIL FOR ALL.[break][break]
"do you all believe you're free? that these powers are yours to command?!" They laugh. "do not mistake dependence for liberation!" They say about your new abilities, your connected chains.[break][break]
As the FEZANDIPITI is wrapped up in chains too, priam conrad detonates the remainder of his chain-firecrackers. The whole UGLY WARD quakes, and as crystal, stone and metal crash into each other, they obscure the hole the platform travels through, preventing the Megalopolan and the creature from following... and curiously, his LEGENDARY MARK reacts to its presence.[break][break]
howard slayte's alarm calms after priam conrad's quick thinking. But both of them know much danger looms ahead.
BADLY POISONED THE TOXIC CHAINS. A BLESSING AND A BLIGHT. They pump poison into the despairing heart and infect the feeble.
These characters will feel the effects of the status condition, BADLY POISONED, until they are cured. Curiously, despite the suppression of her Avatar abilities, Elisabeth Fiorelli is able to sense the poisoning effect and remains immune.
THE FEEDING PIT [player]https://file.garden/ZXZrnWMYuz15frfJ/HOENN%20MUSIC/MASK%20SHOW%20DOWN.mp3[/player][break][break]
AS EVERYONE DESCENDS, the effects of the TOXIC CHAIN begin to weigh upon them. Though these powers are marvelous, it is balanced by suffering. Poison begins to course through those who have exerted themselves. Their skin begins to purple, their eyes begin to glow a foul fuchsia like the Megalopolan guards that oversaw them.[break][break]
PENELOPE LIVY will be able to see the line that had "[extended] all the way up to their ward and seemingly through the walls of the prison". This thread belongs to Yuina Higashi. The thread still continues through the prison walls.[break][break]
The platform stops above the hole to the feeding pit. The detonations have made the hole larger to allow for mass access. In addition, the explosions have ripped another hole into the floor below the feeding pit. Another hole is torn into a nearby curling "tube" Thea Naito had observed before. Peering into either hole reveals little, for it is submerged in darkness; however, jack wainwright would be able to recognize with his ability, the outlines of green-liquid filled membranes... with obscure shapes floating within them.[break][break]
Everyone descends into THE FEEDING PIT in order to attempt their descent into the dark room. However, the combined sluggishness of their intoxication, the sheer number of fleeing prisoners, and the height in which they must descend, slows them. howard slayte's ability fires on all cylinders... and the familiar sound of a sliding door alerts them to their newest threat.[break][break]
--- [break][break]
Thea Naito was wrong. Her words did reach the creature's ears... and the creature so desired to respond. To reply in earnest to such kindness. However, when torturously sleep-deprived, unable to partake in the collective dream given fateful structure by the prismatic TERA CRYSTALS surrounding this horrid malebolge, the ogre can not act on its own. Its spirit has been broken much like its cudgel at the hands of its chained captors...[break][break]
When the ogre makes its first steps into the room, an immense heat floods the chamber. Chains obscure its true face still, but are now wrapped around a gargantuan, crystalline mask. The mask bears an angry, fanged expression, and flames billow forth from its golden peaks...[break][break]
THERE IS LITTLE TIME LEFT. Before imminent death, PENELOPE LIVY will be able to see several threads of fate.
Naomi Sato and Elaine Highland would be able to identify the creature's weak point: ITS MASK or any point behind it.[break][break]
As the creature steps forward, several NIHILEGO emerge from behind it. Toxic chains dangle alongside their usual tentacles. They shriek and scatter STEALTH ROCKS to add to the garbage before...[break][break]
... the surge of flames erupts from the HEARTHFLAME MASK OGERPON, threatening to torch everything and everyone before it.
From deep below, Hideo Kino and Eris Halla would be able to feel a spiritual pull. A call of Wisdom. Of emotion. And lastly, by familial familiarity: Will.
ESCAPE FOR THIS ROUND, your characters have several options.
Thanks to FERNANDO SILPH's ability, he will be able to intentionally or unintentionally redirect the FLAMES & OTHER HOSTILE ATTACKS FROM THE NIHILEGO & OGERPON to another target of his choice.
DISADVANTAGE[break] & DESPAIR AS A RESULT OF THE TRIALS OF THE WORK WEEK AND YOUR ROLLS, the following characters must roll with DESPAIRING DISADVANTAGE (roll three times; the lowest roll is used) until instructed otherwise. The disadvantage on rolls reflects their physical injuries and/or their despairing spirit.[break][break]
