[Dark World Event] || [The Evil Realm] || [Open] || [2/3]

[great_king_of_evil]

Characters: Anyone who signed up for the Dark World Plot! Look at tag list for more details.
Setting: The 4th and 5th of March. Located in the Cursed Floors + Ganon's Tower (Floors 6, 7, 8, 12, 62, 65, 68, 70, 73 and 79 + Floor 75).
Format: Most likely action but left at the players's discretion.
Summary: Your character somehow got trapped in the Forest Floor of the Tower-- And it looks nothing like the Forest Floor the characters remember. It's the beginning of the Dark World. Some floors look pretty different from what they did before, some nearly identical. The only way to get out is to go through the dungeons that make up this Dark World.

All characters start out in the Dark Forest, then as they go throughout the forest, they magically walk into one of the three dungeons (the one they have been assigned to). By exploring the dungeons, they will acquire one of the three Pendants that lead to the Core of the Curse, from where the cursed floors can be ended. However, Richtofen is there and happy to make sure that won't be that easy.

Mingle threads are simply for Mingle, whereas the exploration of the dungeons, puzzles, etc happens in the Exploration threads. OOC information here.

Warning: While your character may survive fine and all, the dark world is a dangerous place with lots of monsters and puzzles to solve. Characters may get harmed or killed, but that is left to the players's discretion. Characters going through the water of temple may lose their patience and sanity.


Arrival in the Dark World
Here are simply listed the three different ways your characters may have gotten dragged into the Dark World. Note this can be a combination of many of these ways, feel free to pick how your characters arrived in!

• The character may simply have been present on the floor when Ganondorf cursed it. That's really… Bad luck? If that is how it happened, the character would have been immediately transported into the Dark Forest Floor. If they arrived before the 4th of March, they would have been unable to leave this floor for three days. Which may be pretty unnerving.

• The character may have been caught by a floormaster or wallmaster somewhere throughout the tower, and cast into the Dark World. Floormasters and Wallmasters are gigantic and creepy black, red or purple hands that come out from either the floor or the ceiling and take characters to another part of the tower, point in case the Dark Forest.

• They character may have found one of the black doors of Mordor leading into the cursed floors. Out of luck, a creepy black hand similar to that of wallmaster could have come out of from the door and have dragged them in.

• The last option is the simplest, Ganondorf hided in the shadows and cast a spell on you that teleported you right into the Dark Forest. This option is mostly directed to those who have past history with Ganondorf or who are known to be close of Princess Zelda, Link and Tetra.

The Death Mountain (Floors 65 and 68) || Power Dungeon || Exploration

[dark_world]

[ On this floor no apparent switches or puzzle to solve— However there is a clear path probably leading leading to the mountaintop and following it appears to be the only option.

There are also, noticeable, something very unlikely to find on a mountain: Three big treasure chests on the ground near the spot the characters arrived in. All three of them are identical and positioned next to each other. ]

[stalemates]

[Man Lambda wants this treasure. She figures it's almost certainly a trap, but that makes it that much more fun. Besides, the Witch of Certainty should always test certainty herself... She looks them over, playing eeney-meeney-miney-mo to choose one. It falls to the right chest, so, she snaps her fingers to open it.

She actually really hopes it's a trap she can set on the others.]

[dark_world]

[ A bright light comes out of the chest as she opens it...

You got the Compass!
This handy tool will show you where to get many hidden things in this dungeon.

... Unfortunately you do not have the Dungeon Map so you cannot use the Compass yet. Too bad! ]

[stalemates]

[Wow just some lame compass? Well, whatever, she'll take it anyway...and look around to make sure no one else sees her cracking the middle one open - do these things regenerate? If it was her she'd totally make it regenerate. But just in case it doesn't, she doesn't want anyone to see her being greedy.

And still holding out for a boobytrap, come on, tower, don't you know how to make a dangerous dungeon?!]

[dark_world]

[ Another bright light comes from this one...

You got a Purple Rupee!
It's worth Fifty Rupees! Your face should be beaming! ]

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer barely spares the treasure chest any glance before he kicks one of them. It's the chest in the center. Not like he's gonna need whatever is in them anyways.]

[1/2]

[dark_world]

[ A bright light comes out of the chest as he kicks it open...

You got... Wait.
Nothing is there. It's a little bit disappointing. ]

[2/2]

[dark_world]

[ Three Darknuts appear around you! These monsters are each twice the size of a normal human and their armors are nearly impervious to damages. Only a master swordsman can kill one of those, you better get help to take on three!

To defeat them you must find a way to remove their armor or to destroy it. Attacking them in the back is the best way to have their armor fall. Below the armor hides a paper white and featureless creature resembling an anthropomorphic dog. It can then be killed but be careful, without his armor the Darknut is very fast!


This taught you not to be violent when opening treasure chests. ]

[puppy_lancer]

[More monsters. Well, Lancer is in a mood for killing monsters. He springs forward with a feral smile on his face. Just this once, he isn't gonna resist his bloodlust and rage.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

[A voice greets Lancer out of nowhere as he steps forward to fight. He'll recognize it as Richtofen's, but he won't be able to tell where the voice is coming from.]

Try not to get yourself put down, puppy!

[lightofhumanity]

[The climb probably wouldn't be very long or hard for chaos. The heat wasn't bothering him, and he was strong enough that monsters probably wouldn't be a problem, unless something like Wilhelm was stuck here..but he didn't sense anything like that.

However, he did see three treasure chests nearby. Curious as to what was in them, he opened up the one on the far left, hoping it wasn't a monster.]

[dark_world]

[ A bright light comes from the chest as you open it...

You got an Animus Pendant!
These blue pendants are said to flock to those who lost part of themselves and you feel a bit of the misery from the souls trapped in the tower when you hold it.

There is the word "Animus" written behind it. And for chaos it's even sadder. ]

[lightofhumanity]

[Well..this pendant was pretty. chaos, who was usually in a melancholy mood didn't really notice the extra melancholy.

However, he did notice that 'Animus' was carved into the back. chaos sighed as he slipped the pendant over his head. It wasn't Mary's..but it still reminded him of her. He was going to make Ganon pay for this reminder of the past when he saw him.

Until then, he would just sigh and open up the treasure chest in the middle.]

[dark_world]

[ And one more time a bright light comes out from the chest...

You got the Dungeon Map!
The gray area are where you did not go yet. You visited the area in green on the map and it will automatically update. Handy!

The map shows you are at the very start of the dungeon. Past the group of monsters on the path to the mountaintop, the map shows the road splits into two: you can chose to remain on the path leading to the mountaintop or go into a cave leading inside of the mountain. The cave leads to the mountaintop too and seems to be a shortest way to get there. Splitting up in two group may be a good idea.

If you work with Lambda who found the Compass, the map will show you where the other treasure chests are! ]

[pinnaculum]

[Curious as ever, Sephiroth approached the chests and examined them carefully. There seemed to be no difference between them. At last, cautiously, he opened the chest on the right.]

[dark_world]

[ A bright light comes out of the chest as you open it...

You got a Piece of Heart!
You feel your energy being restored! This shiny heart made of crystal contains a beautiful small red heart. Collect three more to form a Heart Container!

It doesn't serve any purpose but that'll make you a souvenir! ]

[pinnaculum]

[Sephiroth does feel stronger when he finds the piece of crystal, which is curious, not that he's complaining. He wonders who left these chests here, and why. He moves to the center chest and opens that one as well.

He remains wary, ready to draw his sword if necessary.]

[dark_world]

[ Another bright light come out from this chest...

You got the Cheap Goron Tunic!
These red clothes are made in a special fabric that allows you to survive even in the hottest volcano! ...At least for a couple minutes.

It looks very uncomfortable as if the one who made them had no idea what he was supposed to do. After eight minutes inside the mountain (in the volcano's heart), the tunics's effect stop working. There are one Cheap Goron Tunic. ]

[repeatingsun]

[...Welp.

It's probably a trap, so...out go the vines to open one of the chests. She can retract them easily enough, and she's a horrorterror anyway, so no harm no foul.

Right?]

[dark_world]

[ And a bright light comes out from the chest as she opens it...

You got an Orange Rupee!
It's worth 100 Rupees! It's time to jump of joy! ]

[repeatingsun]

[...

Wat? At least it isn't a trap, and she goes over to pick it up. She tilts her head and flips the rupee over a few times before...pocketing it...somewhere.]

I wonder what it does?

[Okay, chest number two! Yes! Time to open it - using hands this time and not vines, since apparently these chests aren't trapped?]

[dark_world]

[ A bright light comes from this chest as she opens it...

You got the Bad Cooked All-Purpose Bait!
This handy bait is great for attracting monsters-its essentially gourmet pet food.

... It smells weird. Whoever made this probably did not make any efforts to cook this well. ]

[friendlyfiend]

[Hmm. Given how things have been going, there's a good chance that at least one of those chests, if not all of them, will contain some kind of monster or trap. On the other hand, refusing to play along has only invited retaliation. There's less environmental havoc to be wreaked here than in the forest, or at least less that can actually do him harm, but there are more monsters around and he'd rather hang on to his more powerful spells for as long as he can.

Shrugging, A'kin goes to investigate the middle chest. If both options run the chance of blowing up in his face, he may as well try to entertain their unseen observer for at least a little longer.]

[dark_world]

[ A bright light comes from this chest as you opens it...

You got a Complimentary ID!
This membership card can be used in any Beedle shop to receive a surprise! Unfortunately there are no Beedle Shop in the tower.

... This is totally useless. No luck! ]

[friendlyfiend]

[A'kin pockets the card anyway. As pointless as that was, if it doesn't disappear on him he can always try to use it as a scrying focus later.

Now, how about that chest on the right?]
