Player Plot: The Skelebrawl

Hey folks! Who wants to fight the GOD OF NECROMANCY and ALL HIS SKELETONS in a big spooky Halloween bash???

THE SETUP

On the final night of the cycle - October 31st, though characters don't know the date ICly - John's double will arrive at the graveyard, where most characters are sheltering from the flood. Palamedes and Camilla will clock him as a double, argue with him, realize what they're up against... and start fighting for their lives.

This fight takes place in a crowded location, so it'll be pretty public! If your character would like to jump to Cam and Pal's rescue: hell yeah. John's double will raise all nearby skeletons in the graveyard to keep bystanders off his back. Buckle up for a horde of the undead, kids.

THE BOSS BATTLE

The central John-Cam-Pal thread needs to stay pretty linear, but doubleJohn can respond to attempted threadjacks if you try to heckle him or get a hit in. (He can regenerate, so please feel free.) Mostly, he'll sic skeletons and flesh monsters on anyone who tries to intervene - even if your character is a bigger threat, he'll stay focused on Cam and Pal.

Feel free to make your own toplevel dodging monsters, needing rescue, etc, and tag amongst yourselves! This is a game of "survive the horde and keep everyone alive until the timer runs out." You can escape the horde by fleeing deeper into the graveyard. Otherwise, we intend for the fight to continue until the cycle resets at midnight.

THE LOGISTICS

If you'd like to join, comment here telling me what your character brings to the fight!

The log is already posted HERE, so we can forward-date threads in a leisurely manner. (I'm traveling all next week, I'm so sorry abt my timing.)

Anyone disinterested can assume they're on the other side of the graveyard, or clinging to the upper floors of the Staywell, and safely ignore this. Cheers!

Cam will almost certainly need a long range heal to keep her fighting until they all fall into a hellhole! Would LOVE that tbh.

And it gives them things to talk about next cycle, since that kind of magic is ...I mean, Pal can do SOME healing, but aside from John, no one really DOES that in TLT-verse. So not only will she not have memories of it, she won't have a lot of latent migraine about it. We like when cells decay back at home! I feel like Cam as what is most definitely a support class character (sure, a tank, but if she HAD magic) would be intrigued.

And obv, just thankful and will want to make sure he knows that.

wonderful!! I was thinking about putting a TL up with healing / dragging people who need it to safety, feel free to tag that OR HONESTLY if there's a point in the thread where Cam might need healing ping me and I can jump briefly in with a spell and maybe use that as an opportunity for Flynn to yell at doublejod?? I'm easy tbh. Feel free to also just assume at random points in the thread that he's healed her as needed, he's going to be sticking VERY close to the main fight out of concern.

oh good, I hadn't seen this reply so I almost pinged you to be like "should I just like...link the TL if she needs a healing boost" lol. Which -- tbf it sounds like you would've been okay with, but if things get dicey I may have you jump in directly! There's a lot of STUFF going on, lol.
