EPILOGUE
You're heroes. Of course you were going to find the Derleth campus, captive under the strange city with its are-they-or-aren't-they inhabitants. The City would argue that the campus never treated you especially well. The city would argue here it could give you everything you ever wanted. Then again, the city never tried actually talking to any of you, did it?
It just took you all for itself.
The question is: would the city's plan have worked? Did it really ever have the power to hold you all here? Many have tried, mostly among your own number. No one has been successful so far in the effort to find a more stable base of operations.
Maybe the better question is: would the city have been so bad?
DENOUEMENT
Underneath the city is a barren liminal space. The great trees that cut into the city's mostly brutalist architecture above, extend deep underneath this pocket world. Their purpose becomes clear: the roots of the city in this underground space are both the prison and prison guard.
Magically and scientifically speaking: the roots appear to be feeding on the energy of Derleth, perhaps to keep it powerless from resetting or to use as a food source, or both. Maybe the strange city was only trying to distract you as it fed on your home.
Maybe you would have been next.
The following is a traditional IC/OOC event:
- Each player may select ONE role from the list below if it's restricted to one or two people.
- Some roles will be unlimited/open to multiples. You may put additional characters in those roles.
- Some roles will have restrictions or pre-requisites. Please read the descriptions carefully!
- Blah, blah. Use the comment headers, you know the drill!
ROLL CALL
Role 01: Smart Cookie Khushi/Fen!
You managed to decipher Fen's post regarding the map. Her map wasn't wrong. The spell is good. What if Derleth is under the city? Restrictions: need to reply to Fen's post. Limit One.Role 02: Navigator Dyan/Dustin!
You know where to go, how to get to the entrance that will lead the others underground. It was on crazy bus ride. The city kept trying to keep you away from the entry to the underground. Restrictions: must have participated in Loki's IC/OOC event. Limit One.Role 03A: Leading the Charge Marty/MCU Loki!
You're putting the team together. It's up to you to gather up the information, rally the troops and get everyone willing to help under the city. Restrictions: must get mod approval/have shown leadership. Limit One.Role 03B: I Have a Plan! Dawn/Rick!
Seeing who you have, knowing their capabilities, getting all the information, you come up with the idea to free Derleth from The Lonely City. Restrictions: must come up with an idea using the taken roles here and pitch it to the mod for approval first. Limit One.Role 04: Info Dump (Magic/Psychic Edition) Immi/Illyana!
Underground, when you see what's happening to the campus under the city, you're able to tell the others what the city is doing to Derleth on a magical/psychic level. Restrictions: must have magic/psychic type powers. Limit One.Role 05: Info Dump (Science Edition) Kori/Tilly!
Underground, when you see what's happening to the campus under the city, you're able to tell the others what the city is doing to Derleth on a science/engergy/biological level. Restrictions: must be a science type person. Limit One.Role 06: MacGuffinators (Jessica/Hunter + Zee/Percy!)
Two of you manage to put something together to fight/find/confuse the city. One of you must have found a piece of the Derleth, the other using science/magic/some kind of power to create the MacGuffin. It won't save the day, but it probably saved some of your friends from a gruesome end. Restrictions: one participated in this ic/ooc post, the other should have macguffin making abilities. Limit Two.Role 07: Demolitions Expert (Christie/Clint)
Obviously we're going to need some explosions to free the campus from these massive root things. Obviously. Restrictions: should be a character that is good with explosions. Limit One.Role 08: Tanks Open! (Thor, Stevie, Carver, Natasha, Peter, Steve Rogers, Jim Jimenez...)
What does a tank do? They're typically fighters, the toughest in the group that can take a lot of hits, and basically make up the front line of the battle. Can fight with firearms/magic/powers/whatever. Restrictions: should be tanky. Unlimited.Role 09: DPS Open! (Marc, Kira, Melissa, Laudna, Percy, Kate Bishop, Sylvie, Yelena, Vax, 616 Bucky, Rocket, 616 Loki, Varric, Ana, Obi-Wan, Luz, Pike, Kirk...)
DPS means "damage per second." They need to avoid getting smacked around, but in return they can probably do heavy amounts of damage with firearms, magic, etc. May be ranged or close combat. Restrictions: again, should be dps-y. Unlimited.Role 10: Healers Open! (Stephen, Sam, Jon, Moiraine, Mal, Orlin...)
Maybe it's healing magic, technology or just medical expertise. People are going to get hurt. Your abilities are going to be needed. Even if it's just playing the role of ambulance and getting the injured out of the battle. Restrictions: probably should have some healing skills of some sort. Unlimited.Role 11: Benched Open! (Paul...)
You want to help! But maybe you don't have your powers this week or you're a minor. (Or both!) You're stopped or talked down from being allowed to help out this time. Restrictions: find a character to talk yours down or stop them somehow. Unlimited.
