[Open Class] The Cave of Wonders (Lusine)

[Elda-Kun]

Quote:

NAME OF CLASS:The Cave of Wonders
PROFESSOR TROLL NAME: Desu-chan

General information: Desu-chan is known best for well, flipping tables. And never...really speaking aside from using emotes. And- pink. She adore what most Halloweeners abhor, and she is willing to challenge anyone to try and face that which she herself loves where many other would flee in terror. She occasionally offers this chance to student through an anonymous text or email, with a simple map to the location of the cave of wonders.

The Cave of Wonders is misleading. In actuality, it is something that plays off of the fears of those who enter. The reason behind the ever changing cave? Desu-chan is actually behind a flipped desk, watching TVs that have live feeds of those who enter. From her hidden hole, she manipulates the cave to scare those she invites.



Mechanics:
Students start off with ONE 'life'. The older the student, the more lives. They must survive a total of 5 rounds. Before your student enters roll one d6 to determine setting. If you lose a 'life' you resume at the stage you failed at. Lose all lives, and it's game over.

Mobs and bosses can be changed to suit your student best. Examples can be used, but do not have to be exactly those.

Quote:

1- Water based. Dark pools of water, occasionally things bubble and you can swear you see something obscenely large in the water, seeming to swim through what you can only assume to be underwater tunnels. If you attempt to get into the water, a thick black tentacle grab you and flings you back on land, electrocuting you as well. Those water immune/oriented find the water thick, and sickening, it feels not quite right.

2- Fire based. Undead can take comfort, knowing that the fire doesn't hurt... Provided you stay on the path. If you step off the path the fire slowly creeps up on you, burning. Undead don't go up like a torch however, their fire is like others, slow. The flames only extinguish once back on the path. Those immune or in tune with fire find something oddly opposite, they begin to feel cold and their own 'fires' seem to slowly go out. Definitly not the comforting fire they know.

3- Air based. Below is dark pit, which the path steps hover precariously above. Any attempts to fly off the path results in plummeting to the bottom, where upon a gust of air, sends them back to the path. Those unafraid of heights or wind find themselves feeling heavy, and very un-balanced.

4-Christmas based. Congrats this is...Christmas land???? Going off the path results in smelling peppermint.. and slowly feeling your FEAR fade from you.

5-School based. Eerily empty and devoid of any signs of life, this mockery of the school generates shadows and image of coats of while and gold, with flecks of color. Strange runic blue glow lines the walls. Empty cages... a warm fog... is that the glow of a weapon in the distance? Going off the path, and you feel like your FEAR is being sucked out.

6- Desu Special. It's like the princess corner, only bigger. Going off the path results in glitter and stickers, along with pink ribbons. Oh as well as a sharp needle like sensation pricking you.

If something normally wouldn't scare your student, the environments should still set them off and make them feel uneasy. There are no bonuses for any environment. Do note, YOUR FEAR IS NOT ACTUALLY FADING/LEAVING. It's more a simulated effect. Similar to how an object might appear falling over, when it is in fact, perfectly structurally sound.

Round 1

The entrance itself doesn't change but as the light vanishes from the entrance, torches illuminate the path before you. By the time the entrance is no longer visible, the setting has become apparently. Nothing seems to be happening..yet.

Rolling 1 d100, if you score 21 or above, you continue deeper. Below, and you chicken out for whatever reason.

Round 2

At this point, the path splits into two. One seems less dangerous than the other...but do you dare take the sinister looking path?

Roll 1d100. 41 and above result in chosing the scarier path and having nothing happen. Get 40 or below, and you find yourself attacked by common mob off the setting, The mob knocks you out, and you wake up thinking that now is a good time to BOOK IT.
Mob examples are: Tentacle monster, fire demon, thunder clouds, angry snowman, a hooded hunter that isn't and Caelius or any NPC/PC character, Glitter cloud

Round 3

The path is now becoming long and winding and you feel like you've seen this a dozen or so times. Yet as a new turn revels itself, the path abruptly vanishes.

Roll 1D100. 61 and above and the path can be see, though you feel the effects of going off path at the edge, you make it to that turn, where the path shows itself once more. Get Below, and the sensations of going off the path begin. Time to head back before they continue.

Round 4

You've neared the end, and yet you find the path has lead you to a large platform. A cloaked figure stands at the path's continuation. Can you get by?

Roll 1D100. get 71 or above to see the boss level mob of the area, and face your fear and pass them, head held high. Get lower and find yourself flung back. 'YOU SHALL NOT PASS' echoes in a thunderous voice.
Boss examples for areas are: Horrorterror, Lava dragon, Rotting demon bird, Jingleberry, Caelius, OwO

Round 5

The final trial. A simple yes or no question. A podium sits at the end of the path, a candle with a pink flame illuminating the text. The question is simple. "<3?" A pencil sits next to the paper so you can circle yes, or no.

Roll 1 D100. get 81 or above to have 'selected' the right answer. Hint. The answer changes so it doesn't matter what you pick. Get anything below, and you see that boss you passed coming up behind you. RUN FOREST, RUN!

If you make it to the final round and pass, you get to see a very happy Desu-chan running up to you and giving you a hug as well as a pat on the head. A random candy is give to you for all your suffering. Then you are kicked out the back door. Hey, at least you got a candy for it!

BONUSES
-Each year nets you one extra life.
-Y2 have 2 lives
-Y3 have 3 lives
-Anything above Y3 STILL would follow the cap of 3 lives.

YOU LOSE/FINISH THIS RP WHEN...

- You lose all your lives. It's game over. That means you have to START OVER to try again! You may do so in the same thread or a new one if you decide to attempt again at a later date.

The map was printed on hot pink (scented) paper. This should have been Lou’s first clue that she wasn’t visiting a normal cave, but she remained blissfully unaware. Scrawled in glitter pen at the top of the map was simply: Come visit The Cave of Wonders! It will be WONDERFUL! o 3 o

Lou’s wings fluttered in anticipation; she’d been growing more and more secure in her time at school, and was becoming brave enough to explore the further reaches of campus and the town. Which is how she came to find herself peering into the gloomy depths of the so-called Cave of Wonders. It looked ordinary enough, and not very big, Lou though she could maybe see the back wall of the cave through the darkness. There was no sign of the mysterious stranger who had slipped the note under her dorm room door.

As she walked into the cave, she could feel a slight shift and the light faded behind her. Looking over her shoulder she could still see the outside, but it appeared as though the light could not actually pass the entrance of the cave. ‘How odd’, she thought to herself.

She looked around and was astonished to find herself not in the shallow cave she’d seen from outside, but a large cavern. She was standing on a narrow ledge before a dark pit. She had no idea how deep it went, but something inside her said that falling into it would be a very bad idea. Suddenly, floating lanterns burst into flame illuminating a hovering pathway of stepping stones, but throwing very little light into the abyss. She could not see the other side of the gorge, only stepping stones stretched perilously into the darkness.

After a brief deliberation she decided that forward was the way to go, and tentatively stepped onto the pathway.
