Event: Enter Dissonance
Preparations and Legends
Welcome. This is regrettably not the place to dwell on greetings. Let us make this quick. I am Sister Zia. These are the rest of the sisterhood. Hylia,
Yep yep! That's me! I'm s-
Yes well.. this is Kiri.
Heya. Pleased ta meetcha suckas! Say hi Bart!
...and lastly is Enea. Thankfully she does not have much to say.
....
The group of four girls, two giant silent white knights and hired hands all were gathered in the Central Square of Valor's Point. With each passing second the darkness grew heavier over the area. Far earlier than it should considering the time. Zia looked to each of the arrivals.
.....You all came here to assist without doubting the authenticity of the message? Admirable. We are from the Church of Tria. We have found it difficult to enter this region and take care of our duties during the reign of King Theodore. While we do our best to not condone the end of another. Tria is a goddess of purpose. Once ones purpose is lost or causes too great a disruption to others They are doomed to despair or the spreading of it.... and... hmm. Duke Roland Rutledge. I have called you strangers here today to assist us in the removal of Dissonance. It is a shock that you even came, although I feel it is due to ignorance of the threat.
Ohohohoh! Mememememe! Let me tell them the story of Ella!! Pleaaaaaase!
I suppose that would make everything more clear about what we are doing here and who we are. Keep it short.
Nodding and almost jumping into the front of Zia to tell the story. Hylia took a deep bow to the party. Enea turned and silently left, heading towards the western edge of town. Her knight companion traveling behind her.
Woohoo! Alright now gather together okay?!
*AHEM*
This is the Legend of Tria and Ella!
Long ago, long before the Kingdom of Tertoria even existed. It is said all around the world a horrible calamity struck. While the legend does not tell us of the details it does give us light into what it may have been like for the great city that once stood where Tertoria is today and the people who sadly were lost with time.
It is said that during the great calamity, the very fabric of space and time were torn apart. Spreading horror and despair to those that lived. People, animals... all succumbed to it. This madness, this chaos.. It is called many things to many different people now. We at the Church of Tria and many who live in Tertoria call it the Dissonance.
Describing Dissonance is a toughie... it is the result of loss of balance. The loss of order,. Too much order can also cause a rise in Dissonance though! Then there are the creatures born from Dissonance. We do not name them because they are formless horrific nightmares. that don't deserve it! They came from the rips in reality and fed on the living creatures of the city. Those fed upon usually become monsters as well... it's pretty terrible.... a-anyway!
This tale though? This tale is about the Goddess and the Arbiters that arrived in the nick of time to help! The legend says they were lost and ended up in our world but they still blessed our ancestors! In all this despair wrecked by the Dissonance, four maidens from the city were called upon by the Goddess Tria.
One was of lowly background and dwelt in shadow but desired the light.
One was haughty but loved her friends and sought to help the troubled.
One had lost everything to the Dissonance, only her fellow Star Maidens she held close to her heart.
And one was a simple girl with no apparent skills, yet held the purist soul the Goddess had ever encountered.
Tria had decided to grant the four the power to become Star Maidens! They were given the power to purify the Dissonance!
And!
One of them would get the ultimate reward for their efforts. To become the new Arbiter of Light! So, the lengthy and epic battle between the Star Maidens and the Dissonance began!
Through hard work, effort, and the power of faith in Tria and each other. The four Star Maidens fought back the Dissonance and protected what was left of the city after the calamity. It is said they were the ones to protect and help guide the survivors that would eventually become the founders of Tertoria.
Of course, Tria kept her word. One was chosen to become the Great Spirit of Light! Which would keep the Dissonance from returning! Keeping chaos from running amok in this world! The Arbiter was dubbed Ella! Ella went on to take on the role of monitoring Dissonance much more than other Great Spirits. She decided to create more Star Maidens with her own power, guided by her and Tria's wisdom.
Hehe! That's what we are! Or Lady Weiss anyway... we are kinda like wannabe Star Maidens? I think?
That's enough talking their ears off Hylia. We are no longer alone after all. Would you all care to see what Dissonance is in person? There you go.
Zia waved a long sleeved hand towards the darkness that was all around them now. The thickest fog yet seen by players rolled in. Blacking out anything beyond the square itself. Then came the sounds. the squishing, the chattering, the moaning, echoing other worldly sounds that caused the heart to skip a beat.
Shadows emerged from the fog. Slowly pushing their deformed limbs and twisting bodies into the town. The sky resounded with the sounds of wings flapping. As demented bat like entities came into view. The entire town of Valor's Point was surrounded by these eldritch monstrosities...There would be no escape.
Haha! Time to parteh! Let's go Bart! Gonna rip these guys so good!
Throwing a thumbs up to the group, Kiri ran eastward.
Hylia, we do not have enough to cover all directions. You will head south. You are are a Star Chosen now, you no longer require a guardian. Take care.
Giving a salute, Hylia ran over to a long thin metal looking rod... that looked startlingly a lot like a microphone and ran south.
That leaves the north undefended. The war and despair of these people as well as many others have given rise to Dissonance. We must purify and exterminate all of this immediately. Otherwise the Dissonance will feed and grow stronger sweeping over your lands until only they and those who have become like them remain. You are not protected from their influences without the blessings of Tria and Ella. I am one of the few with the power to spread those blessings. I will focus and generate a field here. Do not leave the field. I do not know how your weapons or magic will fare against Dissonance. We shall just have to see.
Take caution. This foe is not like anything you have seen. Those stories of you Astoreans being special in some way had best be true.
Closing her eyes. Zia turned and faced the north clasping her hands together. A ring of light slowly expanding beneath her and spreading at great speed throughout the town. Creating a luminous white field to fight in.
A light that was about to be swarmed by countless shadowy screeching orifices...

Event Guidelines
Each Character may choose any Panel except Cloudy to start the battle in, then... take action! If you call a Summon or Tame. Choose a Panel no more than 2 away from where you chose for yourself.
Good Luck!

Roll / Tracker
[/CENTER]
- minimum of 100 words and maximum of 500 words. No more, no less.
- 1 post per character per cycle, with DM posts resetting the cycle every 24 hours.
- All dice must be rolled in this thread.
- If you want to do some extra communication between party members, do so here.
NPC Advise: The any member of the party may on each cycle make a recommendation for a action to NPCs within the same Zone. This advice is not always followed (is effected by relations/rep), and bad advice can be fatal. Use this well.
Zones There are a total of 9 Zones broken up on the map. They are distinguishable by the darker black lines separating them. When taking actions that mention Zones, remember that the entire set of panels in the Zone is accounted for.
Energy Expenditure: All masteries cost energy to use. Whether a simple sword swing or a powerful lightning bolt. Check the Energy Guide below and use the proper energy costs for every use of your mastery. Dropping to 1 EN will cause your character to become exhausted/mind downed. This will render them unable to move, take any actions, and vulnerable to damage (x3 will be dealt).Your EN will recover by 10 if you survive that turn.
Terrain, Range and Movement: Check the Range Guide below. All masteries have a set range of attack/support. You may move one panel per turn or two panels per turn for 1 EN. Mobility mastery of Adept allows two panel movement without losing a action (still consumes 1 EN). Attacking either on it's own or after a normal move costs the amount given in the Energy Guide. You may not attack while using the two panel move option (unless Mobility is Adept). You may not enter or pass through a panel with a enemy already present. You may not enter a panel occupied by a ally (you may pass through however). Diagonal movement is allowed.
Resting: On any one of your turns. You may decide to simply do nothing and rest yourself. This will recover 25 EN. There are no penalties for this lack of action other than the loss of your turn to contribute.
Terrain Key;
DARK GRAY=Paved Road
The abandoned streets of Valor's Point.
LIGHT GRAY=Inner City.
Rooftops, backstreets, and generally difficult to maneuver locals. You may enter these with normal movement, however you may not use two panel move to cross over one of these panels. Exception for those with Mobility at Adept.
CLOUDY PANEL=The Fog of Dissonance
A fog carrying the Dissonance within it. Drawn to the chaos of the land. Entering the fog and leaving the field generated by Zia may have consequences.
Everyone is allowed to perform one of these actions per cycle. The actions you can take for every cycle is dependent on what masteries you have, as well as what's present on the spreadsheets down below. Use these to calculate what your dice rolls become.
Example: Actions that match the actions available in Tank use Tank's sheet. Heals usually use the Support sheet. Any exceptions will be listed in the Action Guidelines during the Event.
- Tank - Protect allies, disrupt enemies, and mitigate zonal damage.
- DPS - Damage, damage, and more damage.
- Support - Heal, buff, and dispel conditions from allies.
