The Shadowcave Pre-Dungeon Thread
Who: EVERYONE and S!Tom
What: Pre Dungeon Area
When: When they decide to go into the dungeon
Where: A big empty space
Why: I'm not rightly sure...



It should take everyone a little bit of time once they arrive in Paradise to figure out where Tom is. The usual massive structure or odd landscape that ends up serving as a dungeon is mysteriously absent.

It's not until they step outside of the building they were in that they realize there is no terrain, there is nothing outside of the building. It's just a large empty space. A large empty space, and what looks like a door.

When they approach the "door" they discover it is something else entirely. It appears to be a comic book, the size of a door, and it looks like this;



As soon as the party sees this comic book, they realize that they are different. Not just their clothes, but their weapons, even their physical bodies have changed to correspond to the image on the cover. While they are all still the same basic shape, they now appear as they would if in a comic book. In addition to this odd body change is a strange compulsion to explain to all present exactly how their "super" abilities work. The party also finds that they do in fact have super powers now. Anything they're "superhero" can do, with the exception of anything they could already do with their persona.

If anyone touches the comic, it will quickly flip open. This may seem odd to some people, as the page turns from left to right. Beneath the cover is a large page, that has a small portrait of the heroes face, and name next to it down the margins. The words on the page are as follows;

“The Heroes Society of Earth: A group of the most powerful superheroes in the world, banding together despite their differences to defend the Earth from threats no single hero can withstand.

Previously:
Believing that part time teammate, and strategist; ShadowKnight guilty of a grievous betrayal, the team has tracked him down to his secret headquarters, intent on confronting their wayward companion, though what they intend to do once they find him is known only to them.

We join our heroes now, standing in front of Stately Sagaki Manner…”


Of course before you deal with all of that there the small matter of a shadow trying to kill you...

(Note that the shadow attack happens before you guys get comic booked)
