Valley of the Blighted Heart 
gaia_crown [ Layout: ] The entire area is nothing but a circular minefield, the concentration of Miasma denser in the center, for both hostile and non hostile forces.
- OOC: This is basically a live version of minesweeper. Your character players until they literally, cannot take a risk any more and choose to escape (chicken out)
- Please note: if your character rolls their death (ie: HP is 0 or less), it means you lose ALL gained Miasma Points from this event. You CANNOT transfer this to other players.
- That means you should think carefully before taking risks! You can leave any time you want by simply writing in an EXIT post but you CANNOT return back to this event. By exiting, you return to your Kingdom. As long as your HP is higher than 0, you keep all Miasma points you have escaped. with. Please drop them off here
gaia_crown [ Core Mechanics: ]
- Upon entering the zone, make sure all your RP posts contain in OOC brackets your current HP, your flags you have (explained below), your rank, Kingdom, and whatever other information you'd like other players to know about your character.
- Please QUOTE any users you are talking to.
- You will literally, keep on rolling until you cannot any more. That means you are playing as mentioned, a game of minesweeper, or really, explosive minesweeper with your character. Simply just continue rolling at 1d100 and match your dice roll to the results below (see "THE LANDS" quote) for effects. You collect any and all Miasma Points your rolls stumble on, but you also take damage (if applicable).
- Again, you may escape at ANY POINT, but it must be BEFORE your next roll. That means you cannot roll a fail where your HP blows up to 0, and then choose to escape. You will instantly die and lose all your Miasma Points. You need to choose to escape first if you decide that is best for your character. Once again, escaping will land you back in your KINGDOM thread. You can rp there but you cannot return to ANY event threads.
- exclaim This is a NO PVP ZONE. Do you really want to get blown up that badly?
- exclaim TOTAL HEALTH MEANS YOUR HP AT FULL: So if you have 30/50 HP, 50% of your total health is 25. That means you would be left with 5/ 50 HP.
gaia_crown [ Flags: ]
- Queens get 2 instinctive flags. That means two turns where they can instinctively know something is going wrong and SKIP that dice roll effect for that turn.
- Rooks/ Knights/ Bishops get 1 instinctive flag.
- Pawns and unconverted Wild Cards get none sad Tread carefully!
- When you are ready, read the OOC instructions below! THE LANDS Roll a 100-sided dice and match your dice roll to the results below. This represents each dangerous step you take around the lands. - If you die OR HP is 0 then it is game over sad You dissipate and reappear back in your Kingdom. You cannot come back to try again even if you dissipate once. - RP OUT ALL YOUR @#$#$ RESULTS!!!!!! Otherwise I'm not even going to bother counting up your points. - Once again, using a flag means you're cancelling out your current dice roll aka: ICly your character "sensed" there was danger nearby and quickly moved away. - 1-10: You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you? The tendrils pull you in towards the pod, thorns digging into your skin, and when the pod swallows you whole, you see nothing but row of teeth after row of teeth. You will probably have nightmares about the stench. INSTANT DEATH/KO - 11-19: While you tread carefully, the vines are more clever than you: one of them snares your leg, digging in with its thorns. It takes a lot of hacking at it to break free. -25% of your TOTAL HP - 20-30: You took the warning signs carefully, it seems, and manage to bottle some raw Miasma. The sun shines a little brighter. +2 Miasma Points - 31-44: You step in what looks like shallow puddle-- unfortunately for you, it is actually deep, about waist level. You feel something sticky curl around your waist, the drag of a tongue along your ankles-- and a bite to your side. You manage to scramble out, but just barely. -50% OF YOUR TOTAL HP - 45-50: You've stumbled upon a vent that hasn't been corrupted! Eagerly, you collect it all. Better do it fast, before something stumbles upon you and decides to collect yours... +3 Miasma Points - 51-55: A creature, four-legged and without much real shape, wraps itself around you, trapping your body in thick, gross ichor. It paralyzes you and gallops towards the Blighted Heart itself. In turn, the layers of the pod peel back to reveal a great deal of teeth and a lashing tongue and-- you struggle free, right before you are devoured. You land in a rich Miasma vent, and gather as much as you can, despite your near death experience and horrible wounds. -75% of your TOTAL health, +10 Miasma Points. You must take the health damage BEFORE your point game so if you die, then game over! If you use a flag here you are forfeiting your Miasma Points gained as well. - 56-75: Very little actually happens. You see creatures slinking around in the shadows, veiled by thick plumes of violet and green gas. The ground squirms beneath your feet as if it were a bed of worms, but nothing of import happens. +2 Miasma Points - 76-90: You land on an entirely safe spot for now. You feel something warm underneath you, and feel a little better. You are HEALED +25% of your TOTAL HP. - 90 - 100: You hear someone calling your name - no, it is your name but it is weird... somehow you can't place it exactly. You turn around to look for them, and in a moment of confusion, stumble over weapons protruding from the ground. Ouch! - 50% of your TOTAL HP

[Entering from White kingdom!]The Teleportation had landed Pokerus on the outskirts of the valley, giving her a birds of eye view of the corruption and desolation, as well as the terrifying creature that had taken over this domain. Everytime she looked away to gaze at the black roots, she found her eyes straying back towards it. It demanded all attention, it's pulsing body sending shivers down her spine. With a frown she checked her PDA, Holding it up towards it. "Analyze creature components." A few seconds ticked by as it beeped, before she was greeted by the results. Error: subject unidentified. Analysis not completed. "Well aren't you all shades of useless." She muttered, looking into the valley depths. The vines were everywhere, but underneath there seemed to be vents of swirling miasma. That was what she came from, but to get near it. required getting near those vines. No wonder this was labeled the most dangerous of the three. However, standing around wasn't going to get her any closer to her goal, nor was it going to make this any easier, so she might as well get this over with. With a intake of breath, she jumped.

As soon as her feet touched the ground Poke knew she had screwed up. There was no ground, just a puddle that she immediately sunk into. Water was normally no problem for a aquatic being such as herself, but she could feel something grab onto her leg, and soon after a vicious bite to her side. "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" She roared in pain, the shout probably carrying for miles. It felt like her entire side was being ripped out of her. Her claws scrambled for purchase in the soft ground as she thrashed and kicked her way out of the deadly jaws. She couldn't go down now like this... "DAMN. YOU. PIECE. OF. s**t!" With rage she place a well aimed kick, and pushing off she managed to haul herself out of the puddle and crawled some ways away, rolling onto her side. Pain laced up her side, and it took her a bit to gain the confidence to look down at the wound. Her shirt was soaked in blood, large puncture wounds in the side of her waist. Yeah, she was off to a great start. Quote: Charcter name: Pokerus Rank: Rook HP: 25 Kingdom: White Flags: 1/1 Miasma points: 0 Apperance: Here!

As if she wasn't in enough pain as it was, one of the vines decided to be the ultimate '******** you', as it latched onto her leg. Swearing violently as the vines dug into her skin, she flipped around and began slashing and biting at the plant. With much pain and more uncouth words, she was able to struggle free. Now she had a bite wound in her side, and a gimpy leg. She was turning out to be a great asset to her crew, really. She couldn't move yet, but dam well she did her best to crawl away from the majority of the vines. Soon enough she got to her feet, having to put most of the pressure onto her left as the other stung like hell. By now most of her clothes were either in rags or just blood stained. "Got...to find...miasma..." she grunted through clenched teeth. Quote: Charcter name: Pokerus Rank: Rook HP: 12.5 (REALLY?? REALLY???)) Kingdom: White Flags: 1/1 Miasma points: 0 Apperance: Here!

Poke urged her battered body onwards, rubbing her eyes as she felt the telltale signs of blood loss began. With every move she felt her side clench in agony. But she couldn't give up, her commander and crewmates were depending on her... Suddenly she froze, her ears swiveling at the sound. Was someone calling her? It was...weird. She couldn't place the sound. She went to move but stopped herself. No, something wasn't right. It didn't sound like anyone she knew. It felt...wrong. Cringing, she moved away from the strange voice.

Every minute she was growing weaker, her steppes stumbling and uncoordinated as she moved through the thorns in search of the Miasma. If she couldn't get just a little...just a tiny bit... It wasn't to be. Tried as she might to evade the thorns, they seemed to have a mind of their own. One of them grabbed onto her only good leg and brought her smashing to the ground once more. She struggled as much as she could, but she was so tired, and thorns just wouldn't let go. The world turned into a haze of colors as slowly she lost her strength, and was unable to move. "C...omander.." she gasped, her PDA beeping like crazy as she lost consciousness.

((Entering from the Golden Kingdom!))
Oh now that was creepy. Look at the way that vine moved! It made her shiver and scowl at the things. So this was where her Emperor had sent them? Cool. Maybe. Hopefully it wouldn't be too challenging. And they had their Empress with them so... things would go grandly, right? Riiiight. Speaking of said 'Empress', Fini didn't see her anywhere.
And what the hell was pulsing?!
"Iiieaaaah!" Fini stumbled back, hands thrown up like she was going to suddenly create fireballs from them. What the hell was that... that... thing?! It looked like a familiar creature. But it was all wrong.
Smoothing out her dress, Fini checked around to make sure no one had witnessed that. And she was going to deny till her grave she had not just screeched.
"Right. Best to take the leap and not look back." She muttered to herself. And stared out at the tendrils of taint with a shiver. For my Kingdom. For my Kingdom! Oh sonuvabitch!
"For Narnia the Golden Kingdom!" She squeaked and leaped to face her fate.

After a little slipping and slidding, she found her foot making contact with something... liquidy. Glancing down, Fini made a face at the puddle. Gawd only knew what was in that icky wate-
"Awe s**t!" That was soo not a puddle! Fini found half her body submerged and what the hell was that?! "Let go you... whatever you are!" She shrieked and beat at the water, trying to get free from whatever had her. It was curled about her waist and was sticky. "Ugh! Lemme go!" A shudder ran along her spine as the thing licked her ankles!
And then pain. She cursed and thrashed and kicked, fighting desperately to get free. Her side hurt badly, and that sickly feeling of a tongue sliding along her ankles did her in. She flipped out and by some miracle managed to clamber out and crawl away from the not-a-puddle.
"Crap." She huffed, wincing as she inspected her side. Sadly, her dress was a little shredded along there as well. Just her luck. Not even a full five minutes in the damn place and she was not at full capacity. Maybe treading carefully from now on would be the wiser choice.

[ Entering from Red Kingdom ]
Arriving in the valley, Etzer glanced around warily at the zone. The King was right in sending him here; the Miasma was ripe for the taking.
A big black heart pulsated in front of him, and Etzer felt his own heart leap into his throat at the sheer size of it and the vines that tunned into the ground...
Tearing his eyes away from the massive horror, it looked like two others were at it; he didn't recognize them at all, so he assumed they weren't from his kingdom, deeming them unimportant. They looked to be having a hell of a time anyway, and he hoped that he would fare better than they did.
Taking a deep breath, Etzer closed his eyes and attempted to calm himself, trying to tell himself that yes, he was ready to undertake this task.OOC Character: Etzer Current HP: 40 Rank: Pawn Kingdom: Red Miasma Points: ???

After a few calm breaths, Etzer stepped onto the first tile.
He stepped completely randomly, and the ice mage reached up to tug at his collar, feeling somehow... warm? It was an unusual feeling - the ice mage wasn't used to being warm, and he wasn't sure he liked it.
He did, however, feel safe.
He'd taken the first step, and now all Etzer had to do was continue. For glory. For his King.OOC Character: Etzer Current HP: 40 Rank: Pawn Kingdom: Red Miasma Points: 0

This actually wasn't that bad. Etzer started to relax, and thought to himself to have a little bit of fun. Reaching up with his limbs to stretch, the ice mage glanced around before noticing a rather curious spot, then readied his body for a leaping bound.
The spot felt the same as before, but Etzer felt warmer. He felt fine, but the warmth was getting to him. He didn't like being warm.
He'd have to find another spot to leap to, and soon.OOC Character: Etzer Current HP: 40 Rank: Pawn Kingdom: Red Miasma Points: 0

[Entering from gold kingdom!]The place Jason found himself was...horrible. It was the only way he could describe it. A large crater was laid out before him covered in dark tendrils of vines that moved of their own. And in the center of this mass of death was a giant throbbing blob. Never in his life had he seen such a evil thing. And he would have to journey into that mass to retrieve the vital miasma. He was feeling very sick about the whole thing. But even so, he would still go in, he must succeed!

It was now or never. Jason stepped over the edge and allowed himself to slide to the bottom of the valley. His feet met with the ground, and he nearly feel over in alarm. Why was it moving so much?!?! With a yelp he stumbled forwards, taking great care not to step near the vines or the puddles as he went by. But it was hard going, there were just so many.... Suddenly he saw something move out of the corner of his eye. He nearly screaming in fright. A great shadowy being moved through the twisting vines. He fell over in his haste to get away, but he felt himself land on something. Looking down he discovered it was a Miasma vent. Ah! This was what he came here for! Rummaging around in his pockets, he took out a empty bottle and held it over the vent, letting it fill before he corked it and placed it back in his pocket.

In his haste to get away from the heat, Etzer stepped on a vine that wrapped angrily around his leg, making him hiss in pain. He attempted to rip his leg out but the vine held fast, resulting in him only able to stand there as he tried to think fast.
Weapon. He needed a weapon.
Summoning his courage and imagination, Etzer formed a knife with his abilities and hacked heavily at the thing, soon tiring before the vine did. It wasn't long before he was able to wrench free, breathing heavily before he jumped to another block.OOC Character: Etzer Current HP: 40 -10 = 30Rank: Pawn Kingdom: Red Miasma Points: 0

Jumping back to a spot he'd been previously, Etzer breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the wounds in his leg heal almost instantly.
So the warm spots were healing spots. Strange.
His frosty eyes stared out over the field, watching others' progression aside from his own. It would be best if he rested here for just a moment, so as to not press his luck so far.
It wasn't good luck, nor was it bad - but he was lucky to not have met a bad end. Yet. Letting the knife dissipate in his hands, the ice mage sat down and rubbed his temples, attempting to think. What would be the best strategy here? The best strategy...
Perhaps this game was made of nothing but luck, and strategy was thrown out the window. If that was the case... Etzer would attempt at the best of his abilities.
Or rather, lack thereof.OOC Character: Etzer Current HP: 30 + 10 = 40Rank: Pawn Kingdom: Red Miasma Points: 0
