Player Plot: The Mysidian Tower!

[jadethenecromancer]

Who: Everyone who signed up for the plot!
What: Jade is taking a team to explore the Mysidian Tower before it'd swallowed by the Calamity.
When: February 8th-12th
Where: The Mysidian Tower on the Continent of Ruin.
Warning: Everything that can be expected of surprise monster encounters. Beyond that, whatever people bring with them.

The Enterprise brings everyone involved to the tower on the afternoon of February 8th. Thankfully the early floors have already been cleared by previous explorers, making the initial entry easy and relatively safe. Once the Heroes start reaching the upper floors, however... Who knows?

Ground Floor - Campsite

[jadethenecromancer]

[The area has been cleared for Heroes to prepare themselves and rest up between floors. An elevator can be taken from here to the upper floors as more of them are activated.

Feel free to post your own threads here for mingling!

Friendly Monster - Morning of the second day [Open]

[jadethenecromancer]

[There is nothing quite like waking up and finding a raptor resting its head on your knee.

Jade stares down at the feathered raptor, unimpressed. It’s obviously injured, but is that any reason for it to act like a sad puppy?]

Floors 30-39

[jadethenecromancer]

[There isn’t much on Floor 30 besides their first elevator, allowing the Heroes to return there at any time. When they manage to pry open the door to the stairs leading up to Floor 31, they’ll find what appears to have been a laboratory of some sort. The equipment around them resembles those found in Palitutu’s lab and the Heran Research Center.

Or rather, they did when they were still intact. Everything from computers to desks and containers have been torn down by someone… or something.]

Floors 40-49

[jadethenecromancer]

[Many rooms on these floors are blocked off by debris. Others are behind closed doors that have no handles, only words inscribed on them in the Ancient language. Should the Heroes attempt to find a way to open them, or simply pass them up and look for the stairs?]

Floors 50-59

[jadethenecromancer]

[Each floor is covered wall to wall by shelves. There are old texts scattered on the floor here and there, but most are still sitting on the shelves like they should. It appears the Heroes have found archives… Could there be more information on the tower here?]

Floors 60-69

[jadethenecromancer]

[If the previous floors were used for research, these ones clearly used to have another purpose entirely.

Rows of containment units fill the rooms, holding within them things that bear a resemblance to robots. They are all mechanical, some of them gripping weapons – blades, staves, guns – while others seem to have weapons built directly onto their appendages. Some are outside of their containment units, lying still on the floor. Most are roughly human-sized, but the further up the Heroes go, the larger the mechanical monstrosities get.

Thankfully, they’re all inactive, and in any case their mechanisms must be immensely old. It should be safe to proceed… shouldn’t it?]

Floors 70-79

[jadethenecromancer]

[Floor 70 shows the first signs of some normalcy. There are couches, tables, and an occasional bookshelf, arranged to leave as much space in between as possible. One wall is lined with old computers, none of which show any life. Everything is permeated with a smell of age and dust.

There appear to be three exits from the room. All the doors are ajar.]

Floors 80-89

[jadethenecromancer]

[Here the Heroes find another laboratory, though unlike the one on the lower floors, this one is mostly intact. Ancient devices clutter the tables and work benches; some are incomprehensible as to what they might have been used for, while others may look strangely familiar.

There are doors in the back of the laboratory, seemingly firmly shut.]

Floors 90-99

[jadethenecromancer]

[The first thing the Heroes will notice on Floor 90 is that the top of the tower doesn’t seem to have been completely finished. There are pieces of the walls missing, revealing pipes and wires traveling down the tower, and pieces of rusted scaffolding lying on the floor in a broken mess. Thanks to the lack of interior walls, the stairs to the next floor are easily visible from the entrance.

Though, the stairs… don’t look very sturdy. This doesn’t seem safe.]

Floors 100-101

[jadethenecromancer]

[At last, after several days of grueling climbing, the Heroes make it to the 100th floor.

The first bit of good news is, there is an inactive elevator waiting for them, allowing anyone who wasn't present for the final stretch to catch up without having to go through the precarious, half-finished upper floors. Reactivating the elevator won't be difficult either, because -- unlike the previous floors -- this floor already has the power turned on.

The floor consists of only a single large room. There is a generator in the middle, gently humming with power, surrounded by several computers. A closer look at the computers will show all of them are still very much active.

Finally, in the back of the room, there is the last set of stairs leading up to Floor 101.]

Well, well... Wasn't that fun. [Jade looks from face to face, silently doing a headcount.] Looks like nobody died on the way. Good work, everyone.
