SURVIVAL HORROR

MOVE/ABILITY REQUIREMENTS

EVENT OVERVIEW

TAGGING SHADOWS is a Halloween Horror Event taking inspiration from the previous Member Event, NEVER-ENDING NIGHTMARE. In this event, your pokemon and yourselves will be caught within the lair of some sinister creature or apparition. You will find yourselves unable to leave, and under constant pursuit by a HOMICIDAL PRESENCE. But you are not without recourse...[break][break]

In TAGGING SHADOWS, you are tasked with overcoming particular obstacles so that you can escape THE PRESENCE before it captures you or your friends. While completing these obstacles, you will generate points towards a FEAR METER that will increase the difficulty of your trials and empower THE PRESENCE as it hunts.

OBJECTIVES

Above all else, you and your team are trying to SURVIVE and ESCAPE the HOMICIDAL PRESENCE. You will often find yourselves trapped and unable to flee, at least at first. You are expected to investigate the area while avoiding the presence, in order to uncover the secret to your salvation hidden within its domain.[break][break]

As players, you will all roll with every post. These rolls will be used for gauging clumsy interactions with the environment, and certain pursuit conditions. Additionally, you may be asked to roll for additional prompts. These should be rolled separately.

TURN AWAY EVIL

In every setting, there will be at least THREE EFFIGIES for you and your team to overcome. These are representative of the HOMICIDAL PRESENCE'S power and influence over the area, and are the anchors through which it traps you here. Destroy them, and you will be able to escape this wretch's realm through an EXIT.[break][break]

Each EFFIGY will have a clue or riddle that suggests what you must do in order to destroy them. If you interact with an effigy but fail to destroy it, the HOMICIDAL PRESENCE will be immediately alerted to your location. If you succeed, you will cause it great pain...[break][break]

Although not a constant, many EXITS may have similar requirements before utilizing them. This may hinge upon the overarching ease or difficulty of the experience, or factors such as the players' FEAR METER.

FIGHT OR FLIGHT

In many cases you will be forced to make the decision to FLEE or FIGHT the HOMICIDAL PRESENCE. While navigating the area you may be given certain clues as to what the entity's AVERSIONS are, but they should not be relied upon, as this only further angers the entity and causes your FEAR METER to build up rapidly.[break][break]

When FLEEING from the entity however, your turn will consist entirely of evading its vehement pursuit. Certain moves can be used inventively in order to hinder its advances or blind it to your location, but your ROLL will heavily determine the outcome as you attempt to elude the monster.

ESCAPE FROM EVIL

When a player fails a FIGHT or FLIGHT check for the first time, they lose access to their current pokemon and are considered INJURED. If it happens again before a player can overcome their wounds, they will be CAPTURED by the HOMICIDAL PRESENCE before being isolated from their allies, and trapped within some dark recess of its dreaded lair.[break][break]

While they are trapped, they will make a single roll while detailing their anguished struggling. If they roll 95-100, they will free themselves. If they roll 1-5 or 13, they will FADE TO BLACK and have no recollection of their grisly encounter.[break][break]

Players may seek out their ISOLATED comrades to FREE them, rolling THREE (3) times with ADVANTAGE. If they roll 80-100, they will succeed in their rescue. If they roll 1-30, they will alert the HOMICIDAL PRESENCE to their intentions.
