Welcome to Gaia! ::

This will be a GROUP BATTLE. When the area boss attacks, it will affect everyone who has posted in the thread before that attack post. TENTS WILL NOT WORK IN THIS AREA. If you have entered the area at all, your student will be getting attacked along with everyone else! The battle will consist of rounds. Each round begins with the boss's attack. You may each attack once per round.

KO
- due to the barrier, a KO will not zone you back to the Infirmary! You'll just be passed out on the battlefield!
- after 24 hours, your character will be able to "revive" with 15 HP.


Regular Attacks
- are unlimited as long as your character isn't KO'd
- are a simple melee attack (punch or kick or ankle biting or w/e)

to use:
- roll 2 6-sided
- subtract 6 from your total
- the final amount is your damage (getting a negative number with a regular attack will not decrease your HP)

JOY Weapons

- Due to the concentrated power of the workshop JOY weapons ARE NOW USABLE MULTIPLE TIMES IN BATTLE. The exception being the Tangled Lights! Those are destroyed completely after one use and will not be usable again! Also: the roll for Carol of the Bells has been changed!

Christmas Wreath -> A circle of green complete with lights. Throw onto the enemy. There's a lingering smell of burnt plastic in the air...
Roll 2 6-sided dice. If the first roll is even, you hit. If is odd, you miss. The second roll determines how much damage you did if you hit.


EXTREME SNOWBALL LAUNCHER 5000
Roll two 8-sided dice. The first dice is the amount of damage you deal to your opponent. The second dice is the unfortunate backlash done to you.


A Sack Full of Joy
Reach in and start bombarding your opponent with random trinkets. Roll 3 6-sided dice. Damage done is the AVERAGE of the numbers rolled. If the total is EVEN, you hit. If the total is ODD, you miss.


Yellow Snow
Do not eat.


---SUPPORT---
Tangled Christmas Lights
Chuck the ball of tangled lights at your opponent. Roll 1 6-sided dice. If odd you missed. If even, your opponent can't move for one turn.



Carol of the Bells
It's a bell. Ring it and restore someone's HP by rolling 1 8-sided dice.

Eracs was soon joined by the wolf, he'd nodded to the Gnomes words before taking the blue door. Howling and yipping in excitement, and to let his friend know he was here.

Looking around he blinked and sat down slowly. Titling his head, ears laying flat against his head. How odd...they were all alone in here...well that may not be very good, no idea what they may come up against after all. He was sure that here of all places something very hard to fight and beat would be, it would make sense after all.

(HP: 23, just as a reminder.)

Behind this door is... a wall. And yet another wall! So many walls! However, this may work out in your favor, smoke billowing out from between the walls as you enter. It takes quite a few steps into the mist for someone to figure out where exactly it is you've stepped into.

You're in a maze!

Smokey and dark, it takes some time to find baring in the series of hallways, though from the sounds of clacking and whirring, it's obvious that the group is not alone...

The sound of whirring can be heard getting louder, accompanied by the sound of headphones and a loud high pitched voice singing along as something moves through the hallways. Maybe if you're quick, you can duck into somewhere to hide! It seems that this time, the Blue Santa Scout has passed the small group by!

"I wanna beeee the veerrryyy bessttt
Like nooo scoouuttt ever waaaaasssss
To beat them is my real quest
for the Sannttaaa Cllaaaaauuusssssss"

Will he attack you soon? Possibly!Depends on if he goes deaf from his own singing or not.

For now, hiding and coming up with a strategy may be wise!

Myr had waited for a few minutes by the door before he had gotten up the nerve to enter. He didn't expect his luck to hold out much longer, but that was nothing new.

Once he entered though, stepping through the mist, he discovered himself to be in a maze. This wasn't good.

"Hello?" He said, glancing around to see if any of his fellow raiders were around. He hadn't seen anyone as he enter, and he assumed that they must have already gone deeper into the maze.

Draven watched the giant mechanical thing lumber by. Wow, he had a bad feeling that it was going to cause them some pain.
"I don't know if we can sneak past it," he whispered to Eracs. They could try, but he had a feeling if it knew they were there...that it wouldn't let them get far without a fight.

Draven thought he heard the door open behind them. Perhaps there were other students coming into the room? If there were, that would be great, he figured that his small group could use the help. He wanted to stay quiet, so he hoped the newcomers would find them...they hadn't gone very far into the maze, so far.

Draven reached in his bag and pulled out the Tangled Christmas Lights he had grabbed so long ago. Maybe now was a good time to use them? "I...I'm going to try something. I really hope these work..." Draven stepped back onto the path the robot had just walked down, and hurled the lights at it's back.

--

And missed. The ball of lights sailed uselessly past the robot, hitting the wall of maze and bouncing onto the floor. Draven gulped. Now it was going to know where they were. Not his best move ever.


((Draven: HP 25
Tangled Lights: Miss! -I believe they are lost now xD ))

Alerick had stared at the large, blue, metal...object lumbering around. Glad that it didn't seem to see he and his friends, someone else had joined them, he watched Draven and Eracs attack it and wished he could also. There wasn't much he could do right now.

Perhaps his body decided to play nice, or luck was on his side, but he felt himself shifting till he was human again and on two feet. "Draven...my pack." He stated while grabbing for it so he could pull out the snow ball launcher.

"Glad I'm human like this." So he could do this....Taking aim he pulled the trigger, hoping to hit the thing where his two friends had not.
(HP Before attack: 23)
(HP After attack: 21)

The scout seems to realize it's bot isn't exactly being the most happy of things after a few crunching noises. However, as he fusses with his controls, one of the bots arms swings and knocks one of the walls back and forth. It hits anybody hiding within the maze, but if you're quick, you can realign the walls to stay up and keep hiding without the scout noticing you!
