ZONE 4: SANDY CLAWS' WORKSHOP
THROUGH THE BLACK DOOR
crossing time: ??? Finally, you've arrived at the goal! As you approach the giant building that overlooks all of Christmas, you see a gnome standing at the doors. "We've got your perimeter taken care of. All you gotta do it get in, grab the loot, and get yourselves out, got it?" Looking left and right you see several other gnomes sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed. "What?" Door Gnome asked crossly, "You thought we'd just abandon you?" Yes, you did actually. "Well, normally we would have, but this here is different. This here is about ELVES. And Sandy Claws. BUT MOSTLY ELVES!" He looks at you all squint-eyed for a moment before nodding to himself. "We went ahead so we could put up a barrier of sorts, help you snots out a bit once you get inside. Things'll be a bit different things time around." With those less than useful but slightly reassuring words, he opens the door and you walk into The Workshop. Five doors stand in front of you. Each a different color. "Each path leads to the goal, so just pick one and get going!" You go through the black one. Quote: The OOC: This zone is only for those who pick the BLACK door. There's no set time for crossing this area, the final goal will have to be unlocked instead! Thanks to the gnome's barrier, the battles rules have changed! Be sure to read the post below!

BATTLE INFO 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. Examples A Hit Hitmon rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6, 2 Total: 8 (2-12) 6 is an even number, so it hit! Sadly it did only 2 damage. A Miss Hitmon rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5, 2 Total: 8 (2-12) 5 is an odd number, so it didn't hit. Disregard the 2, it does nothing. 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. Example A Hit Hitmon rolled 2 8-sided dice: 3, 6 Total: 9 (2-16) Damage done to opponent: 3 Damage done to self: 6 This weapon never misses. It will ALWAYS hit your opponent AND yourself. 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. Examples A Hit Hitmon rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4, 2, 1 Total: 7 (3-18 ) 4+2+1 = 7 7 divided by 3 is 2.3. Round to the nearest number and it's 2. Because 2 is an even number, it resulted in a hit for 2 damage. A Miss Hitmon rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3, 3, 4 Total: 10 (3-18 ) 3+3+4 = 10 10 divided by 3 is 3.3. Round to the nearest number and it's 3. Because 3 is an odd number, it resulted in a 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. Examples A Hit Hitmon rolled 1 6-sided dice: 4 Total: 3 (1-6) 4 is an even number, so it hit! Your opponent cannot move for one turn. Except by the time your opponent frees themselves, the lights are too smashed to use again. A Miss Hitmon rolled 1 6-sided dice: 5 Total: 5 (1-6) 5 is an odd number, so it didn't missed. Your lights bounce and roll off to one side before a group of forest critters run up and steal the lights to decorate their own Christmas tree with. Carol of the Bells It's a bell. Ring it and restore someone's HP by rolling 1 8-sided dice. Example Hitmon rolled 1 8-sided dice: 7 Total: 7 (1-8 ) Hitmon has healed somebody for 7 HP, either themselves or another person. The bells cannot miss

Laiha approached the workshop carefully, certain that there would be more elves here to attack, and yet... nothing. Perhaps they had been stealthy enough in their escape to not draw any undue attention. She peered up at the building, and her gaze filtered down to the doors. There were such bright, obnoxious colors, such daunting, dangerous colors, and then there was one she saw as fairly comfortable. Perhaps JOY was fended away by the color black? She crept in, trying to be as stealthy as her cold feet and numb fingers would allow her.

In his run, Corbin had lost track of two of his companions; one, a lightning dragon named Aksaja and two a ghoul with three snake-like green eyes whose name he didn't catch. When he approached the doors, Livi was close behind him but he allowed the boil room to pick a door for himself. He, however, was quite determined on this particular door.
So black, so inviting for one from Halloween. Perhaps it drove off JOY, maybe it was a trap, all options were possible at this point but all of them had come this far, the Wraith wasn't about to back down from what might have been a set up. Stealthily as he could muster, he crept through the door and was met with--the ghoul!
"Oh," he murmured, keeping his voice to a whisper, "I thought we lost you." Carefully, he approached the Devourer as his eyes scanned the scene, wary. "I think we lost the dragon..." Unfortunate though it was to thin their numbers, Corbin had no doubt ohers would come to make them up. Surely others would be drawn to a door so inviting and homey as this, but the inside... Well, it was no Halloween workshop.

However, just at that moment, the aforementioned dragon came waltzing through that same door. Though he'd thought about the yellow door for a moment or two, since it bore some resemblance to lightning and all ... the Black called to him more.
"Oh, there you are," he murmured, a bit of an odd tone in his voice. Where the hell had Corbin been while he was getting his a** kicked out there? But he'd also kind of gone off on his own instead of waiting for the other... so it was sort of his fault.

Laiha crooked a finger back at Aksaja and then turned back to Corbin. Where had he been? She hadn't been pummeled, personally, but she hadn't been able to help her companion either. It seemed he had a demon with him? Well, that certainly made her feel useful. He'd gone off to find someone else! No, he had not lost her, he had left her!
She rumbled in annoyance and peered around the room cautiously. At least they were all together now, even if this demon was hard to miss in a fight. They could survive yet.

Malodore stepped through the door, wary as anything. The JOY radiating here was palpable, almost like being underwater in the plague doctor's opinion. Luce was wary too, still bristling but less aggressive and a bit more uncertain of herself.
There were other students within... but nothing terribly suspicious thus far, despite the warnings of the elves outside. This was it, though. The biggest, baddest things Christmas could throw at scarelings would be in this very space...

A few seconds after Corbin had entered, Livi followed behind, looking around curiously into the dark, almost empty space. Typically there'd be no way to miss Livi and though it still held true, his 'brightness' was dimmed a bit. Without his jacket and tie, it was really his hair that was a dead give-away. But he wasn't one for hats so it was impossible to find the mess. Seeing that Aksaja and the interesting looking ghoul were there with Corbin, he lifted a hand and waved a bit.
"Seems like a good plan to stick all together in this place, right?" But this was it. The Workshop itself. Here, they only needed to find what they had to find, snag it and get the jack out of there! It had been slightly annoying knowing that the gnomes had been guarding the doors. Made him wonder why they hadn't bothered attempting to look out for the students... but that wouldn't make them stronger, would it. If they had the teachers and staff look after them? Still an annoying thought, no matter how true. "Last place..." But he was looking around more to see if he could locate what they needed. It had to be around there somewhere...
Hopefully, no stairs. His legs were still killing him from the mountain. However, he had to admit that it was a relief to be in a place that was warm for once.

J.P. wag his tail as he walk though the door. He couldn't wait to fight someone! For some reason all though this trip he never fought anyone one which made him sad. He like to fight and play around but now was the chance to do it! He so happy about it too! He wag his tail!

Well, it looked like they were getting a pretty big group here... which was good. Looking around at everyone, Aksaja moved to lean against one of the walls, still smarting a bit from the fight with the stupid deer. "Was anyone else close to the door?" he asked, looking around at those who had come in most recently.

"Not that I noticed." The Envy demon looked thoughtful for a bit before he gave a light shrug. "Granted there were a lot of others out and about, but they could have gone through other doors. This one seems less likely to give me a migraine, heh." His gaze flicked over the ones who had entered and he took mental note. Usually, in places like this, there was an end boss. And the more people, the better.
Usually >>.

Sin eyed the gnome uncertainly and then slipped inside looking around uncertainly. She looked around trying to pick up details and then looking for her friends. Sin held her bells close and then spotted Malodore, well that was a comfort. Still she lingered near the door waiting for Alcie to come in as well.

Huh - the plague doctor knew more of those in here than not. That was interesting, and gratifying! It nodded to Livi and Corbin, as well as Aksaja and Sin. Though it did regret having lost that fascinating patchwork - it would have to find him again later! A skilled lab assistant - already good for clean-up duty, no less! - was a terrible thing to waste.
It was, however, rather worried about Riley and Jericho. It hadn't seen them once the whole way through Christmas Town. Could they have gotten lost? Or worse, injured?

They were here! They were finally here! So it was time to break in or something, right? They came here to get something...right? Was she remembering correctly? Junko's memory was kind of fuzzy at the moment, but either way she was quick to follow after Sin. "We can go home soon, right? Hopefully this isn't...too difficult..."
"Quit being an optimist. It'll get you killed." She sighed, wishing She had eyes to roll. Junko pouted at Her.

Yup...J.P. didn't know anyone in here. Maybe at least they would all help each other while they fought....Maybe homely? He wag his tail, a habit of his even when he wasn't happy. He was more worry thing anything. He wag his tail some more not knowing that he was doing it.
