Desco's Dungeon of Daaaarkness!
*In the horizon, you see a black castle. Next to the entrance lies a sign. It reads "Welcome to Desco's dungeon! This is a work in progress so I recommend high level players come in and help me test it out! Also hiring, please apply inside!"*
*Gamma walks up to the sign and reads it. He sighs and shrugs* So.... They're looking to hire people, but put a dungeon in the way? Sounds like a bad way to get applicants. Except maybe if they're looking for soldiers I guess.
*A voice emits from the castle* Greetings, young warriors. For those looking to challenge this dungeon, please sign the legal document further ahead. For any monsters who wish to train against the heroes, use the monsters-only door to the side of the facility.
There's a side-entrance for monsters? That's..... Interesting. Can monsters even read the sign? Do they understand English? Well, I guess it doesn't really matter. Stop asking questions and look for things. *and so our brave young edgelord walks around the side of the building to find the monsters' entrance*
*Rom walks to the entrance, lost in thought, and reads the sign* A dungeon, eh? This could be a good opportunity to... *Rom ponders before looking slightly nervous* Should I really? It says high level, but am I...?
*A strange mechanical door opens before Gamma. An even stranger mechanical voice speaks to him* GREETINGS. ENTER THROUGH HERE AND GIVE IT YOUR ALL TO DEFEND THIS DUNGEON AGAINST THE STRONGEST OF HEROES, YOUNG MONSTER!
*A wandering swordsman walks towards the facility, eagerly shouting one he reads the sign.* A dungeon? Ho, what joyous news! I've been wanting to test my mettle in a more precarious situation... Sign me and my sword hand up, please! *Owain heads into the building, almost skipping.*
If one wants to know whether they are high-leveled, they should check their "status" screen!
Ok, so there's not really a system to check or anything. It just kinda lets anyone wander in. Oh well, I could use a little bit of fun. *Gamma takes a nice long look at the mechanical door before walking inside*
*Breathes deeply* It's ok. Just try... It's all that matters... * Rom enters, peeking at the monster door* What's going on here? Heroes...?
*walks up to Gamma* How's it going Gamma. *sees Owain* Why is Odin look like a samurai?
*Inside the building, Owain is greeted by a receptionist prinny* Greetings, hero, dood. Welcome to Master Desco's Dungeon, dood! Please sign this paper, dood. *The prinny hands Owain a paper. It reads "Any heroes brave enough to challenge the allmighty Desco must adhere to these rules. 1. The hero cannot bring any items or armor into the dungeon. Leave everything with the prinny so you may pick it up upon exiting. 2. The hero may carry anything they find only for the duration of the dungeon. Upon exiting, all items, money and earned experience points will be returned to Desco. 3. Desco reserves the right to confiscate any items you do carry at anytime. Desco also reserves the right to evict you from the dungeon at anytime.
*Gamma sighs and shakes his head* Hey Hunter, I'm doing just fine, checking out this side door. Nothing special. Though, I don't see anyone else around. Looks like its just us.
*The mechanical voice answers Gamma* I ASSURE YOU, WE HAVE A HEAVY CHECKING SYSTEM TO INDICATE IF ONE IS A MONSTER. MY SENSORS INDICATED THAT YOU WERE INDEED, A MONSTER. *A beam flashes over Gamma as a digital green image of a monster appears with the bold letters "YES" under it.*
*Notices Hunter and walks up to him shyly* Hunter? Do you know what's going on? *Turns to the receptionist prinny* No items? *Rom looks down at his phone, slightly dejected*
I know that Odin in samurai clothing is here and saw this. *knocks on the door* Any one here?
*The prinny answers Rom* That's right, dood. Desco only trains against the most hardcore of heroes, dood.
*Hunter gets answered by a mysterious young girly voice.* This is an RPG. Knocking is completely unnecessary. You can just enter through whatever doors you want!
*Too eager about the dungeon to hear Hunter, Owain signs his life away on the form, before looking quizzically at the receptionist.* Er, do weapons count as items? I don't actually carry anything on my but my blades and a few vulneraries. Speaking of which, do you have a locker in which to store said items?
That's..... Kinda harsh, isn't it? I mean, I don't really care, its still a shortcut for me. But its rude to flat-out call someone a monster. *Gamma walks further into the castle with another sigh*
I... I see... I suppose this could help avoiding a dependence on it... *Rom removes the armband containing his phone, revealing another one under it labeled "S.E.E.S.". He then points to Owain* What he said. What about weapons?
Well my inner morality dictates to knock before entering to be kind. *grabs his Killer Edge sword and enters in*
*The prinny answers Owain* This is an RPG, dood. I'll just put it in this bag that magically never runs out of space, dood. *The prinny puts a brown leather bag on the table.* And, on the topic of weapons, the only ones we don't allow are legendary weapons that are capable of killing a final boss, dood.
Hmmm... *Looks at his lance* I guess I'm in the clear, then! You said no armour too, right? *Rom briefly summons his metaverse uniform and removes his chestpiece before transforming back into his old hoodie* I believe I'm ready... I just don't know what to do yet...
*Owain places his vulneraries into the bag, before unsheathing one of his sword.* Hmm... well, I suppose Mystletainn might have to sit out then. The Demon Sword is pretty powerful, maybe even too powerful. *Owain unsheathes a dark colored blade with dull golden accents. Looking at it's "stats", it's actually pretty unimpressive. It's name is actually Missiletainn.*
*The prinny looks at Owain with an awkward stare* I dunno, dood. It's not that impressive. Only 2,500 ATK. It could use a few lvl ups.
*walks out with his Killer Edge sword* So Od~Owain. How are you?
*Suddenly, a big red door with a metalic purple border begins to shine near the reception area. It was there all along, you just didn't notice it. A green cateye in the middle of the door looms around the room.* The heroes appear ready to fight, dood. Just go through that door and you may experience one of the most brutal rides of your life, dood.
*Owain looks back in horror at the receptionist.* I'm in shock! How dare you call a legendary weapon such as this unimpressive! Fine, if that's how you feel, I'll take down your whole dungeon with only this one blade! *Owain dumps his Levin Sword, Superior Edge, Killing Edge, and Brave Sword into the bag, before rushing directly into the dungeon, brandishing Missiletainn.* COME AT ME, CREATURES OF THE DEPTHS! The chosen hero, Owain Dark, has arrived! Prepare to meet your demise at the blade of the Demon Sword, Mystletainn! *He once again accidentally misses Hunter's question since this post kinda doesn't fit with him casually talking with him. Sorry, man. Not on purpose.*
*As Owain enters the dungeon, a red emergency light begins to flash. Desco begins to speak, issuing all the monsters to attack* A hero has entered the final dungeon! All monsters attack! I repeat, all monsters attack! Let's show them that they still have some grinding to do!
OOC: Gamma, you can attack any hero at any time, as a monster. Alternatively, I could make some generic monsters.
OOC: well, it wouldn't be quite even if I were the only monster, so you can still do some generic ones and I'll pop in when i think it best.
*The room appears to be dark blue. Black Candles light up the walls. Bones and velvet carpeting docorate the floor. Portraits of 19th european century figures are hung up on the walls. In the far back of the room lies a staircase leading to a larger area.*
*Some of the bones begin to rattle and shake. Out of nowhere, a rotting corpse hops out of the pile. This being inches slowly over to Owain*
*Notices Owain's Leroy Jenkins impersonation* Okay then... W-Wait... Final dungeon?! *Rom's face turns serious as he takes out his lance* I can do it... Be careful, Ler- I mean Owain! *Runs to Owain's side* You know, you shouldn't rush in like that!
*Owain smirks as Rom addresses him.* Fear not, brave young warrior. I, Owain Dark, have trained against creatures such as these my entire life. No foul undead creature can best me! Now, engarde, rotten foe! *Owain rushes at the undead foe, slashing across it's mid-region.*
*The zombie gets cut in half by Owain's sword. It's internal organs exposed, albeit they are extremely decayed. The bones begin to rattle again, as if an entirely new being was spawned.*
*Owain quickly turns around, slashing the new monster down the center, then backs off.* Tsk, these are absolutely nothing compared to the Risen! How could you possibly expect a great hero like myself to fall to one of these!
*The monster continously spawned. While Owain was distracted, the ceiling began to gradually fall down, like in those actions movies.*
Another one? Here, this might help! *Rom snaps his fingers as he transforms into his metaverse uniform, and he rips off his silver dragon mask* Anansi, masukukaja! *Rom's persona, Anansi, appears in all of his humanoid spider glory, opening up a page in his tomebook and raising his sceptre, increasing their Evasion for 3 turns* Wh...?! The ceiling! *Rom heads to the staircase, looking at the monster*
*unbeknownst to the heroes, Gamma came out in the area at the top of the stairs. Hearing the noises from below, he sighs* Of course.... I suppose that boorish noise are the ones I'm supposed to stop? No matter, lets get started while I'm here. They're likely to come to me eventually. Shiranui, Ice Age. *Gamma's persona flares into life, a faint roaring sound can be heard as a sheet of ice begins to spread in the upper area*
*A zombie's arm reaches out of a pile of bones and attempts to grab Rom's foot. It reaches aimlessingly as if it was being prevented from predicting it's target.*
*Owain quickly slices through another undead creature, before noticing the ceiling.* Drat, we've got to get out of here! *Now covered in a green light from Masukukaja, Owain swiftly follows Rom towards the staircase.*
Gah! *Rom's foot is grabbed for a second before kicking it away and pinning it in place with a spike made of ice* Let's go! *Rom heads up the staircase carefully*
*The heroes make it to the staircase, uninterupted, aside from a few attempts at the zombie's to drag them down.*
*As Owain heads up the staircase, he sheathes his blade, and breathes into his hands before rubbing them together, shivering a little.* Is it me, or is it getting a little chilly...
*Desco's Girlish voice rings throughout the dungeon* Ohohoho, it appears our heroes have reached floor 2! That is to expected, as most heroes tend to have lots of endurance.
*Rom seems unaffected by the low temperature* I don't know... It could be, but I can't feel it as much as you due to my affinity... *Hears Desco's voice* Right, this is only the beginning, so be careful...
*The air has grown cold by the time they reach the top. They find a room similar to the last one, with one major difference. Most of the floor seems to be covered in a thin layer of ice. A lavender-haired young man is standing near the middle of the room, with an eastern-styled dragon made of blue fire floating in the air around him* And with that, we should pretty much be done. Its only natural for me to change the place a little. Now as soon as those heroes get here, well, I'll be sure not to hold back.
*Turning to Gamma, Owain points to him, with his other hand over his face.* Hear me, frosty villain! It's time for you to face the fire, and that fire is us! Now, we shall strike thee down, simply my sword hand and me! *Owain unsheathes his blade, and begins to rush towards Gamma.*
Hey, Gam- aaaand he did it again... I'll save the monlogue for some other time... *Rom rips off his mask and focuses his energy, amplifying his next magic attack*
*upon hearing Owain shout, Gamma quickly turns around* Wow, you're here already. And kind too. *grins* Thanks for running onto the ice by the way. Makes it much easier for me. *A few steps in ice begins to form on Odin's legs in an attempt to restrict his movement and creep further up his legs* Shiranui, Eigaon. *Three tendrils of darkness come out of Gamma's sleeves. He grabs them, and swings them like a whip at Owain. Gamma doesn't seem to have noticed Rom yet*
*Feeling the ice form onto his legs, Owain quickly tries to kick it away, before unsheathing his sword, looking at the tendril coming towards him.* Ha! The fiend thinks I haven't seen such techniques used before! However, I'm prepared. Be ready for my technique, Radinaaaaant... *He lowers his sword towards the ground.* DAAA- *In the middle of yelling out his attack, Owain is hit dead center with the tendril, sending him flying across the room.*
*Minato and an asleep Ikebu arrives to the dungeon on Minato's motorcycle*
Persona! *Rom is revealed to be right behind Owain before he flew, shooting Gamma's arms 6 times (3 at each arm) with his pistol's panic rounds, the bullets coated in a blue psychokinesis aura* (Combo of Gun and Psi damage, with a slight chance of confusion, due to the bullets)
*Minato gets the same reception as I just stated about a couple dozen posts ago. You'll have to scroll up, i'm afraid.*
Heh.. *Signs the legal document then walks inside the dungeon*
*Gamma smiles as Owain goes across the room, but soon straightens out after seeing Rom open fire* Shiranui, Ice Age. *A wall of ice is quickly formed in front of Gamma as the bullets fly. The first bullet makes it over the still forming wall and strikes Gamma's left arm while the others are blocked* Annoying, isn't it. No matter. I can take on as many fools as is needed. *The wall of ice begins to expand towards the pair of Odin and Rom, and is soon wide enough to cover most of the room*
*Looks around* Hmm, some dungeon we have here...
*As soon as Minato walks in, bones begin to rattle as a zombie rises from the dead. The zombie moves forward and spits its toxic puke at Minato*
*Dodges the toxic puke, then stabs the zombie with Lucifer's Blade*
Ooc: Note: Lucifer's Blade is Minato's strongest weapon in Persona 3.
*Owain eventually pulls himself up, holding onto the top of his head.* Erk, maybe I SHOULD lay off the theatrics for once... *Owain shakes it off, and heads over to the icy wall. He begins climbing it, using his sword to steady himself as he ascends.*
*The blade digs into the zombie. However, the undead still walks and sinks its teeth onto Minato's face. While this happens, a couple more bone piles in the area begin to shake*
*sigh* I knew I shouldn't have started with that... *Rom climbs the wall, rips off his mask, casting diamomd dust around it, summoning big fragments of ice. The fragments of the ice latch onto the wall, tearing some parts of it off, but struggling to do so on the deeper in ones*
*Minato gets bitten, he takes damage* Nngh.. *Minato then pulls the blade out of the zombie, then chops the zombies head off*
*As he is unable to see past the wall, Gamma simply looks over the top of it as though waiting for something.* And now I simply see how long it takes them. Guess I got used to ridiculously mobile opponents. Oh well, no matter. *by now 6 spears of ice have formed in the air around Gamma, though they seem satisfied floating there for now*
*The zombie attempts to reach for Minato but he falls to the ground and rots. Meanwhile, three more zombies appear, surrounding Minato. While they inch closer to him, more bone piles begin to rattle. While this happens, the ceiling begins to rumble slightly, causing dirt to fall to the ground*
*Smirks* *Shoots himself with evoker summoning Orpheus, Orpheus then casts Megidolaon on the three zombies, then Minato runs away from the Megidolaon*
*Rather than pull himself over the top, Owain holds himself right below the top of the ice wall, shuffling away from where he landed earlier.* Now I just need an opening... This ice cold foe shall see his last moments in red flames of blood..!
*The zombie get knocked down and knocked out. However, a single arm reaches for Minato's leg from the ground. As this happens, the ceiling begins to slowly fall on him. It would appear that he would need to rush towards the stairs in order to survive.*
OOC: Damnit, wrong account
*Rom comes down from the wall of ice as well, latching on with his lance and whispers to Owain* Got a plan?
OOC: Well, I can't say that was expected. Its interesting at least.
*Minato then shoots the arm with one of his M1911s, making it fall to the ground, then Minato dashes to the stairs, making it there safely* Damn, that was close...
*Minato then puts his Lucifer's Blade on his shoulder, while walking up the stairs*
Hmm... *Owain places his open hand on his chin.* I'd ask you to be a distraction, however I don't believe that's the best course of action... Say, could you do that thing from before? That whole green light thing that made me faster?
W-what's this? A new hero approaches? Let's see how this will affect our current battle on floor 2. Truly, this is a powerful monster! I have faith he can defeat all the heroes! Sis would be proud!
*Minato makes it to the second floor, then looks around* A second floor, eh?
*whispers back^ Heh... You got it... *Rips off his mask, and Masukukaja is cast, covering both in the green light, making them faster* I've got another idea...
*Gamma looks at the wall for another moment then sighs* You know what, this is getting kinda boring. I wonder how close they are? No matter, either way I'm sure they'll notice this. Shiranui, Deathbound. *Gamma's persona roars into life as a wave of force emanates towards the wall.* *Minato walks upstairs to see a room similar to the previous one, however there are no piles of bones apparent and the floor seems to be mostly frozen. Your vision ends in a large wall of ice that both Owain and Rom are hanging off the top of*
*Looks at Owain and Rom* Oh, hey Rom...
*Upon entering the second floor, Minato can see the fight between Gamma and the heroes.*
N-Nevermind! *Rom kicks off the wall, pushing it back towards Gamma using Psiodyne, gettind knocked down by the force in the process* Well, there's your distraction... Good timing, Yuki.
OOC: Ignore that last post, then
*Minato then pulls out two Rose gold M1911s*
*Minato then switches the pistol element to fire*
*Feeling the force hit the wall, Owain holds on with all his might. He gestures Rom to follow him, holding his right hand over his face with a devious smile.* And now is the time of Owain Dark! *Owain hops atop the wall, and waves his arms.* Foul freezer, bring your gaze to my fell figure! *He runs on top of the wall for a short distance, before hopping down towards Gamma, thrusting his sword into the wall to slow down his descent.*
*Shoots a giant hole in the ice wall before passing through it*
*As soon as Gamma's wave of force strikes the wall, it shatters into dozens of pieces, ranging from shards as small as needles, to those as large as daggers. Most of the pieces fly in the direction of Rom and Minato, though some stray shards fly back as well* Oh look, its the idiot hero again. I prepared a present for you. Diamond Dust. *The 6 spears around Gamma arc outwards before curving in to strike Owain. If dodged, the spears would meet in the middle and shatter into another hailstorm of glass*
*Looks at Gamma* So, your element is ice, eh?
*Shoots himself with evoker summoning Orpheus, Orpheus then uses inferno to melt the shards of ice*
Heh... *Rom strikes some of the pieces of ice with his lance, but the rest hit him, knocking him slightly back, but not hurting him* Next up... *Rom takes out his pistol again and fires 8 shots at the distracted Gamma at different parts of his body, once again enveloped in the psycho aura*
*Minato then charges towards Gamma with his fire element M1911s*
Thanks for the assist, new guy! Now, let's see how you handle my technique this time! Radiaaaant... *Owain lowers his sword to the ground, as he runs towards Gamma.* DAAAAWN! *Owain throws his sword up into the air, before jumping up extremely high to catch it, then bringing it down onto Gamma.*
*Uses persona change to switch to Mara so that he's weak to nothing*
Aincrad walks into the lobby. "Well this is interesting. Hey is there any mysterious voice ready to explain this?"
What the..... *Gamma seems a little stunned as Owain goes into the air. but quickly takes out his metal staff to block the blow. After a short moment it is sliced in two, but Owain's blow merely cracks the ice at Gamma's feet. However, this does distract him long enough for 6 of Rom's bullets to hit, two in Gamma's right arm, one in his left shoulder, one in his left arm, and one on each leg. Gamma seems frustrated* Alright Shiranui, lets try this again. Full on freeze... ICE AGE. *A wave of thick ice emanates from Gamma and rapidly expands to cover the room and attempt to encase the three in a thick layer of ice.* OOC: btw, Mara happens to be weak to ice. Consistently. Have fun with that.
*A young girly voice answers Aincrad.* Desco will explain everything! OOC: Just look through the first 30 or so posts. I don't really like explaining everything every single time.
OOC: How ironic. You could say it's kind of a... dick move. Sorry, I had to
*Minato then rapidly fires fire bullets at Gamma*
(Alrighty.) Aincrad walks forward and analyzes the terms. "So does that mean I can't bring my weapons? Cause we kinda need those."
"Also who the hell is Desco?"
As long as the weapons aren't legendary and capable of killing a final boss.
*Owain is unable to dodge the impending ice sheet, but uses his last moments before being frozen th aim a stab at Gamma's throat.* Now, begone fiend! Return from whence you came!
*Factory Desco answers Aincrad again* Desco is me! And all ten thousand of my identical clones!
"Sweet. Alrighty this will be fun." He walks forward and enters the door. (Btw I'm in the middle of changing my bio so not all my abilities are there.)
"Good to know weird mechanical voice."
Ok, now he's serious, so it's about time we do too... *The remnants of Rom's attempt to break the first wall come to his aid, as the ice around him is torn off. Rom is now visibly tired, but not too much* G-Guys! *Rom uses the fragments and the torn off ice together and latch on to Owain's sheet, opening a hole near his torso* Almost... *Rom manages to tear open a hole in the ice near Owain's head before stopping, more tired than a minute ago*
*Upon entering, Aincrad notices a room with a staircase in the back. Out of nowhere, a hand pops out of the ground and reaches for Aincrad. However, midway it just falls to the ground like "Eh, why bother?"*
*Quickly changes to Black Frost*
OOC: So many alts for one user revealed at once.
(Aaaaannnndddd it's revealed.) Aincrad yawns and kicks the hand. "Someone call staples, that was easy." With that he walks up the stairs and notices the fight. "Y'all need help? And who's the baddie?"
Ooc: Wait, that came out wrong... I meant to say "Quickly switches to Black Frost."
*Gamma attempts to dodge Owain's thrust, only to get struck in the upper chest instead, he backs away from the group, spreading ice on his injuries* I'm.... Not a monster... but.... Yeah... Leaving's probab- *Gamma manages to coat his wounds in ice before collapsing from exhaustion*
OOC: What a twist
OOC: Are you implying you didn't already know my true identity? I'll let you figure it out.
D-Did we win?
OOC: wait, if he's Ex-Aid, then who's Brave?
I... I think it's over... *Rom sits down for a second, breathing deeply*
Aincrad walks forward yawning. "Well that answers my question. Y'all go on ahead I'll heal him."
Ooh, such a thrilling battle! Desco was getting chills! And now our brave heroes proceed to the next floor! After such a grueling match, can they still continue?
*The next room appears to be pitch black. Figures can be faintly seen dangling from wires in the ceiling*
You ready guys? *Looks at the other "heroes"*
OOC: Lucky me, I do know who you are. *Owain stands frozen in ice, with only a small hole keeping him from passing out.* Sssomeone ppplease hhhelp mmme...
Walks into the group and casts Salvation, healing them all. "You guys want to continue?"
Hell yeah!!
Owain! *One final fragment latches on to Owain's sheet, opening a bigger hole for him to get out of. Rom reaches his hand out to Owain* Yeah... I think I'm ready... *Peeks inside of the next room* Now i see why I couldn't use my phone...
*Starts walking up the steps*
Pokes Gamma. "Hey get up. You're healed now. Are you okay?"
*Owain quickly grabs Rom's hand, pulling himself out of the ice.* Thank you, brave warrior. Now, onward! To hopefully warmer climates! *Owain walks up the stairs and enters the pitch black room, sword at the ready.*
*Gamma is unconscious. And also an enemy character. He'll probably be fine if you leave him. Or have a big enough heart to bring him out*
*Some of the figures begin to slowly descend. One raps itself around Owain and one raps itself around Rom. They both pull out knives and hold them around the necks of their victims*
*Looks around the room* I can't see a thing in here...
OOC: But Gamma, Fire Emblem revolves around taking unique soldiers out of enemy ranks and placing them into your army! You know this!
Aincrad sighs. "You guys have fun. I'm going to get Gamma out. I don't want to leave him here." He leans down and picks him up gently and starts walking down. "I'll be back soon."
*Switches the gun element to bless*
*Owain struggles against the being restraining him.* Ah, so you play dirty, huh! Well, I hope you're ready to meat my sword hand once I'm- grrrrrr- free!
OOC: it's also 1 AM for me and I have places to be. So I'm gonna be off. Though of course, I'll read what I missed in the morning.
(I'll drop you off at a hospital. You can start the thread tomorrow.)
OOC: Yes, meat my sword hand. I meant meet, obviously. Damn freudian slip.
Aincrad walks off and drops him off at a hospital. "Rest well friend." With that he walks back.
*The figure bonds Owain tightly. It attempts to drive the knive into his neck, causing him to bleed out. The shape of the figures can be faintly made out. They appear to manequinns, with the appearence of jesters.*
OOC: oh boy. Last time I made a recovery thread a bird exposition bombed me
Nnghh... What the hell?! *Rom is struggling to get out of the figure's grasp as he looks down at his lance and smirks* A quick (and restrained) twirl of the lance brings out small blades of ice that go around Rom's body, hoping it hits the figure, and two of them aim at the contour of the knife* C'mon, please work...
(Hahaha. Have fun with that then.) Aincrad also leaves a note. 'Rest well Gamma - A.H.'
*Rapidly shoots the mannequins with bless bullets*
*The bullets cause some wood to be chipped off. The clothing of the mannequins also appears to have bullet holes in them. Two mannequins suddenly come down, each throwing two knives at Minato, for a total of four knives. Rom's ice mangages to shake the figure's wires and cause it to lose ballance, releasing Rom to the floor*
Aincrad walks up yawning and walks into the dark room and sends out a Kouagon at the hanging figures.
Alright, it worked... Hey, does anyone have light in here? Wait, maybe if... *Rom rips off his mask again, casting Masukukaja again, coating everyone in a green light* Let's hope so...
*A single hanging figure gets consumed by the holy light of Aincrad's attack. However, another one just replaces it's spot.*
*The green aura causes the mannequinn to lose slight grip on Owain. However, he continues to try and push the knife into Owain's neck*
Aincrad sighs and walks forward sending fire out at the figures as he walks across the room.
*Dodges three of the knives, but the last one lands in Minato's shoulder, Minato takes damage* Grrr... *Minato shoots himself with his evoker summoning Thanatos, Thanatos then charges towards two of the mannequins, then tears both of them apart limb by limb*
*The fire causes the figures to begin burning rapidly. Several of them get their wires cut and fall to the ground.*1
*Meanwhile, Minato is taking care of the other two by Cutting them up with Lucifer's Blade*
*The mannequins limbs get torn apart. However, they just get put back together through demonic magic.*
"Well this is literally a walk in the park." He shouts up at the ceiling while he reaches the other end of the room. "Hey weird girly mechanical voice thingy, I thought this was supposed to be hard?!"
Thanatos: Grrr.... *Thanatos then slices the mannequins into bits and pieces with his dual swords*
*Owain eventually frees his right arm, and cuts the hand holding the knife to his throat, before also cutting up the rest of the mannequin.* Ah, my aching blood! You're officially incured the wrath of Owain Dark, demonic wooden humaniod! Die! *Owain continues to cut the mannequin into smaller and smaller pieces.*
Don't taunt them, Aincrad... *Seeing slightly because of the fire, Rom sends some more blades of ice at the figure tangling Owain* You'll be okay...
OOC: Ignore
*Factory Desco answers Aincrad* Desco can't really account for all your abilities. Some floors will be easy like this with the right tools. *Meanwhile, knives start falling down as they get thrown by the rest of the Mannequins above*
Aincrad presses a button on his cane and the top half of a sphere is formed made of Ice above Aincrad that catches the knives. "Have to thank Yang for that... nonetheless yay. Easy." Aincrad looks around for the entrance to the next room.
*Dodging all of the knives, Minato then summons Orpheus, Orpheus then uses Megidolaon on all of the mannequins above*
Impressive! *Rom expands the ice above the others, shielding them from the knife* Now's our chance! *Rom looks around for the next room*
*Owain blocks most of the knives falling above him with his Sword, dodging others, but a few scratch him here or there. Lacking a ranged attack, Owain braces for more mannequins to approach them.* Come out and fight up properly, foul tree-spawns! Stop hiding and come at us!
Over there!! *Points to a set of stairs*
*Minato's megidolaon causes most of the mannequins to fall down. Unfortunately, a large portion of the floor also fell down. Striking the area near Owain and Minato. Also, the path to the next floor is always straightforward.*
Aincrad walks to the next room. "Well now, what do we have here?"
*Gasp* *Minato almost falls down to the previous floor, but Orpheus catches him at the last second* T-Thank you Orpheus...
*Run runs to the next room* What now?
*Owain tries to dodge the rubble falling from the ceiling.* My speed is unparalleled by simple things such as this debris! I'd never fall prey to such a basic- *Owain is hit square on the top of his head by debris, and he falls over, unconscious.*
OOC: Rom*
*In the following room, the floor appears to be covered in grass as a pleasent outdoorsy odor flies across the room. Flowers appear to be blossoming on a hill in the middle of the room. The flowers seem to have an incredibly pleasent smell. Perhaps they can be medicinal? The stairs appear to clash with the overall texture of the room.* And, a hero appears to have made it to floor 4! A strange change of pace surrounds this mysterious room. Maybe it would make for a good place to take a break?
*Dashes to the staircase and goes up the stairs as fast as he can* *Panting* *Looks around at the next room* Well, what's this room supposed to be?
Aincrad sighs and walks back. "Rom, see what you can find. Imma go bring Mcunconscious over here." He walks back avoiding the hole in the floor and picks up Owain.
No, don't trust the voice... it has to be a trap... *Orpheus is on guard*
Owain has fallen unconscious! It appears that's the end of the journey for him! *A strange blue magic aura surrounds Owain and attempts to carry him back to the entrance. A prompt appears and say ">Return to start? X yes â—‹ no"
*Walking around*
Don't trust a book by it's cover guys...
Let's see here... *Rom walks around, still on his guard, taking in his surroundings*
â—‹ no OOC: Sleepy time, have fun everyone else.
Carries Owain to the garden room and explores a little then puts him down.
(Nights)
*Owain's body disappears as if it was never there* Annnnnd, that's a game over! Don't worry, folks, I only teleported him away. He should be in the comfort of his own home by now!
Aincrad sighs. "Alrighty then. I'm headed forward, y'all get some rest." With that he walks to the next zone.
*A large yellow flower pops out of the ground. Several large mushrooms appear in the area, as well. Moths fly around near the ceiling. The large yellow flower moves strangely and emits a peculier odor*
(Nighterino, Odino)
OOC: Implying Owain has a home. He's probably living like a bum off the streets, claiming to be a wandering nomad.
*Covers his nose* Don't breathe guys...
Moths... That's not a good sign... *Rom is more on guard than before, patiently waiting for something to happen*
*Changes the pistol element to fire* *Shoots elemental pistol at the flower*
Well, since the trap didn't work i'll just send out some monsters! *The moths grow to the size of small humans, while the giant mushrooms come out of the ground and walk around* Mushroom: I'm gonna kill you, gii. Mothman: Raaaaawr
Aincrad tosses fire at the mushroom. "Burn baby burn!... how does the rest of the song go..? Hey Desco, can you put on some music?"
...um, sure! *Final dungeony music begins playing*
*Orpheus casts Blazing Hell on every enemy*
Anansi! Mabufudyne! *Big chunks of ice hit every mothman*
Aincrad shrugs. "I mean it isn't perfect but okay. Anyways you two have this in the bag, imma go see what's next." With that he heads to the next zone.
*The enyrgii burn, but in a last resort they all spread a paralysing pollen in the area. The mothmen do the same, but spread poison instead of pollen. The mothmen also are equiped with an evility that makes status ailments 30% more likely to hit.*
Oooh, the next room appears to be a boss room! You might wanna prepare for this! *In the next room, a strange blue magic circle appears in the middle. The staircase to the next area also appears to be blocked off.*
Aincrad nods and looks at the magic circle. "Interesting. So what do I do to start it Desco? Just step in the middle?"
Uh-huh! As long as your ready!
*Minato is only poisoned, Minato takes some damage* You'll be dead right after I use Salvation... *Minato shoots himself with evoker summoning Pixie, Pixie then casts Salvation on every Ally*
He looks around. "Alright why not? Just teleport me out and to the others if they are in trouble." With that he whistles and walks into the middle of the circle.
*Rom runs to the next door, and is paralyzed at the door, but healed by Salvation* Thanks! Wait, guys... Let me just...
*Does a menacing smirk to every enemy* Hahaha.... *Shoots himself with evoker summoning Lucifer, Lucifer then casts Morning Star on every enemy* BURN!!! BURN TO A CRISP!!!
Well then, I guess I was too late... But I'm still ready... *Rom stands tall, waiting for something to happen*
*Ahem* Sorry about that... *Dashes to the next door*
*Upon entering the circle, a green prinny appears, accompanied by two normal prinnies.* Prinny Kurtis: Where am I? What is the meaning of this? *He looks at Aincrad* Oh, this may be a good opportunity to train! *Suddenly, a chalk board appears out of nowhere. It reads "Aincrad HP: 675 SP: 326" Another chalk board appears and reads "Attack Persona Guard No items No escape"*
Whoa... This is so meta...
*Enters the next room*
Aincrad smirks. "So is it a turn based thing? Cause I kinda don't follow that. I'm more... live action role playing... I think that's what's it's called... plus I don't rely on my Persona for everything. I have a literal but load of gadgets and weapons. They are mein freunds in any fight."
*Two more chalk boards appear next to Aincrad's chalkboard* And, it appears the rest of your party approaches! But, where are their stats? I scanned their profiles but couldn't get anything!
Hp:999 Sp:999
Your max sp is 999, huh? Well, judging from all your megidoloan spam i'd probably say it's around 763 by now.
Shit...
And I just used salvation, so my hp should be maxed out...
(Added it now) HP: 473 SP: 736
*The two chalk boards suddenly get filled out* "Rom HP: 473 SP: 678" "Hero Hp:999 SP: 763"
OOC: I subtracted some SP for skill use and arbitrary reason.
The name's Minato...
OOC: Fair enough
Not "Hero"
Ooc: I agree with Rom...
Well, now I believe we can start this battle. Choose your actions, everyone!
*Chooses Persona*
*A list of Minato's personas appears*
Ooc: Ignore
"So it is turn based? Aw come on." Aincrad taps his foot, and chooses guard.
Ooc: Nevermind
*Minato chooses Alice
Hmmm... Let's start this off simple... *Rom casts Masukukaja on the party... again*
*A list of alice's skills appears*
*Minato chooses Mind Charge*
Ooc: Or Concentrate, I just prefer Mind Charge...
Rom expends 24 SP to make the party faster! Aincrad prepares for the enemy's next attack! Minato prepares a stronger magical attack! "Aincrad HP: 675 SP: 326" "Rom HP: 473 SP: 654" "Hero Hp:999 SP: 748" Enemy turn!
(You might want to update your menu, I've updated my abilities.)
Ooc: I can just imagine this whole thing being pixilated, and there's cliche 18 bit rpg battle music playing in the background...
(it's Shin Mitsuo Tensei all over again)
Prinny A throws a knife at Rom for 98 damage! Prinny B throws a knife at Aincrad for 87 damage! Prinny Kurtis: Heh, seems it's my turn. Explosive fist! *Prinny Kurtis thrusts his fist forwards and causes a huge explosion* Prinny Kurtis hits the party for an average of 144 damage! "Aincrad HP: 438 SP: 326" "Rom HP: 242 SP: 654" "Hero Hp:855 SP: 748"
OOC: Um, aincrad, you do realize that items are disabled, right?
Aincrad smirks and uses Kouagon on Kurtis. "These aren't really my rules but I'll play for now."
OOC: NVM, they are weapons. In that case i'll count it as attack
*Chooses persona again*
*A list of Minato's personas appears*
Gah! ...Dammit... I can't blow it now! Persona!
(They are mainly weapons though.)
*Chooses Trumpeter*
*A list of Rom's skills appears*
(Sweet thanks. Also ignore me.)
*A list of Trumpeter's skills appears*
*Chooses Heat Riser*
*Rom chooses Tentarafoo*
*The list of skills changes to a list of names. * "Target? Aincrad Minato Rom Prinny A Prinny Kurtis Prinny B"
*Targets Minato*
"Aincrad HP: 438 SP: 314" "Rom HP: 242 SP: 642 "Hero Hp:855 SP: 718" Hero is buffed! Prinny A dodges Rom! Prinny Kurtis blocks Rom's attack! Prinny B gets confused! Prinny Kurtis takes 457 damage from Aincrad's holy light! Enemy turn!
Prinny A picks up and throws Prinny B! 250 damage to the whole party! Rom could not withstand the attack... Prinny kurtis throws another explosive fist! It does 111 damage on average to the whole party! "Aincrad HP: 38 SP: 326" "Rom :( HP: 0 SP: 654" "Hero Hp:781 SP: 748"
*Chooses persona*
Ooc: I, uh, botched up the SP values on that last post.
Aincrad smirks and casts Salvation. "So I'm getting tired of turn based." (Question: have you factored my Ali dance into these attacks?)
*A list of Minato's personas appears*
OOC: Wait, what's Ali dance again?
Ooc: I think it raises the physical damage, idk look it up...
*Chooses Lucifer*
OOC: GameFAQs boards says it halves evasion rate. Well, i'm using a completely arbitrary system anyway. So, let's just pretend there was a 50% chance :P
*A list of lucifer's skills appears*
(Aww I'm calling cheats, I have to dodge some at least.)
Ooc: okay, next attacj you can dodge
*Chooses Morning Star*
(Ah I wouldn't worry, that was sarcasm. Just do what you feel best.)
Ooc: Don't forget about the Concentrate and Heat Riser
"Aincrad HP: 650 SP: 266" "Rom :( HP: 0 SP: 642" "Hero Hp:999 SP: 691" The party receives the blessing of God! Morning star strikes Prinny A for 1,536! Morning star strikes Prinny Kurtis for 1,337 damage! Enemy turn!
OOC 650 -> 675
Ooc: Did Prinny B just die?
Prinny A couldn't withstand the attack! Prinny Kurtis: Tch, i'm done for. Prinny Kurtis throws 1,000 knives!... and misses
OOC: Prinny A threw him earlier. Prinnies explode when thrown.
Ooc: Oh, is the battle over?
OOC: Nope, Prinny Kurtis is just REALLY close to dying.
Ooc: Can you add "gun" to my list?
Ooc: It would count under attack.
*Chooses attack*
*Minato's body magically moves towards the enemy*
Ooc: i'm actually getting kind of bored with this so i'm just gonna say you defeated him.
Ooc: Can this be a checkpoint?
*The green prinny disappears in an aura of blue magic.* Congratulations! You've beaten the first checkpoint of Desco's dungeon! Overall, i'd say it was final boss worthy! For proving it's difficulty, you earn the First Boss badge! Using this, you can teleport back to this floor anytime! Because all great dungeons have conviently placed teleportation circles! *A teleportation circle appears* Ooc: and with that, I exit.
*Takes boss badge*
*Enters the teleportation circle*
*Rides motorcycle back to the Cafe*
*The boss badge lands on his stomach as he is still unconscious*
*Rom wakes up, takes the boss badge and leaves*
*Rom doesn't get the boss badge because he technically failed.*
OOC: Oh. In that case IC: *Rom walks away empty handed, mumbling to himself* I blew it...
(Question, my phone died, where does that place me?)
OOC: You still get the badge and you teleport out.
(Yay! Thanks Desco!)
