Survey Mission 4D
Location: Isla de las Munecas
Images:: x, x, x.
General debriefing: A team of dedicated individuals looking to write a magazine article about the island visited the area two weeks ago. Despite search and rescue attempts, none of them have made it back alive. They have noticed however, odd dolls shaped like the team hanging from the tree branches...
* C class difficulty level (must have a team of three, at least one of them must be an intermediate trainee)


MECHANICS

* MECHANICS: RP assembling a team, as necessary, before heading towards the Lighthouse portal to request a portal to Survey Mission 4D. Once there, roll a 100-sided dice and match the roleplay to the results below, as well as any reactions. Players can continue rolling until any of the players roll a INSANITY ENCOUNTER, in which case the BATTLE PHASE begins. See below for battle phase mechanics.
1- 20: The island is extremely foggy, the ground uneven and moist. You take a few steps in the soft soil until you hear a sudden crunch. You just stepped on the glass eye of a doll.
21 - 40: You notice that the dolls look to be in varying conditions, some with maggots curling out of them while others still look oddly new and untouched. All of the new ones are missing their eyes.
41 - 60: You notice a cabin deeper on the island. Inside is a small den, a few rooms, and a statue of a wolf head, creepily enough. The trap door in the center will not open but you can hear a music coming from underneath...
61 - 80: The wind begins to pick up, as the dolls begin to stir and move, as if with a life of their own. All seems okay until - you see a new addition to the lineup of dolls. Is that a doll of YOU? It is also missing its eyes.
81- 100: BOSS ENCOUNTER:
- As you continue walking down you hear a large crack, followed by another. A strange gas explodes from underneath, making you extremely dizzy, as you cough to figure out what is going on, fighting for air now. You have exposed your entire team to a hallucinogen, making everything more terrifying than ever as your vision swims and hops uncontrollably and your hearing becomes muted. Something creaks, groans, lurches underneath you, but is that your imagination?

- BOSS MECHANICS: This boss is a mob that has collective 100 HP. Every time you attack it (following the general battle rules), you TAKE 8 damage. AS you can't really see the boss, most of it will have to be dependent on what you can see, if anything at all, from strange faceless figures lurching, half-hopping towards you to the smiling dead coming back and swiping at you. Make sure to tally the boss's total HP (the damage you did to it) at the bottom of your post as well as your total HP and the damage you did that round. If the boss's HP hits 0, you have defeated it, and your team can now take the portal back.

Felicia showed up without the cosplay armor. Well, most of it. Some of it. Okay, so she had the chest-worbla on, big deal. At least her hair was up in a ponytail to avoid getting caught, as much as her hair could be tamed into such a shape. The mission assignment had listed one familiar name, the other new to her. At least, all else failing, Felicia would have Chance for company, if the other guy turned out to be a snoooooooore.

"H-heyyy!" she called out to the lighthouse portal, in case she was the last to arrive, as was often the case. Felicia Standard Time was running fifteen to twenty minutes late, no matter how early she left.

Lawrence was punctual, at least when he felt it was useful to be, some people you had to remind of their place with a little fashionable lateness, mercifully those people were not his companions on a mission. He was dressed in less white than usual (because he was almost guaranteed to get dirt and possibly blood on his clothing) but nevertheless was neat, wearing trousers instead of his sarong and with Jan's usual necklaces strung around his slender throat.

"Hello!" he called to Felicia with a smile. "Just about to leave without you." he joked, before once again scanning the mission briefing. He hoped they weren't genuinely expecting him to fight anything.

"So, dolls." he said grimly. "Can't say I have had to deal with many of those in my line of work."

He arrived the last of the three, hands in the pocket of a pair of worn, fitted jeans, a thin sweatshirt emblazoned with a bright blue galaxy print tossed on over a plain black shirt. He greeted the other two with an easy smile, lifting a brief hand in greeting.

"Hey," he said lightly, mostly to Felicia, because the only thing that Chance knew about Lawr was what he'd seen on Twitter. It wasn't exactly a prime example of anything much, so he took it with a grain of salt, and extended a hand towards the other man.

"I'm Chance," he said. "Nice to meet you."

He gave a little laugh. "And I can't say I've had to deal with too many dolls in my line of work, either."

Leesha had the good nature to look at least a little bashful. But it wasn't her fault that the universe didn't want to accommodate her absent-minded nature.

"R-right? C-can't stand the things, frankly. Not like a phobia, or w-whatever, they're just...a non-interest to me."

At the sight of Chance, the Life hunter waved both her hands, beaming. "Heeeyyy! You need t-to grab any runics?" She shuffled over to the check out area, picking up some bandages and wiggling them. "I'm like, p-prepared and stuff this time! Sorta."

The blonde man seemed to be in a very upbeat sort of mood and shaking Chance's hand - with all the firm assurance of a car salesman - he said. "Pleasure is all mine." Introductions of late were becoming quite the hassle, with so many people loudly feeling the need to contradict him whenever he said that his name was Jan and feeling they had somehow caught him lying. His solution was simple. "I am Lawrence, as I feel obligated to tell you both." And for a moment there was a shift in his accent as he said the name, as if he had learned it in formal English and never forgotten. " I go by the preferred name Jan, thank you."

This established he turned back to the subject of dolls. "I suppose it could well be worse, it could be actual children, at least dolls don't always cry." He shook his head at the mention of runics, he was cleared for just the one and this was presently stowed in his coat. "I am glad I remembered to don sunscreen, this mission is in Mexico, yes?"

"T-thaaaat it is," Felicia replied, stepping through the portal with a grimace. "G-god. Nothing w-worse than the daystar, huh?"

The portal had spat them out in the middle of a house, although it was worn. A wolf's head glared at them from above the mantle. There hadn't been a fire in some time, it looked like, but the faint sound of music from beneath their feet was enough to make Felicia spook.

"Uhm," she said, yanking open the front door, getting blasted with oppressive heat. "B-b-b-better get going, huh?"
