EVENT PLOTTING: THE EMPTY THRONE PT 2

The Empty Throne Pt 2
By the end of the seventh day, more and more of those that have resisted the Kenoma's pull will be awakening to the power of the Pleroma, expelling what remains of the ritual's poison. Though they are still being held within the cavern, any lost powers will begin to return... which means that conflict against the ones imprisoning them is inevitable. Xishen, the orchestrator of the ritual, has not made any orders and the Hylician soldiers are increasingly agitated and unsure of what to expect. Are those that remain free of the Kenoma's influence meant to be executed? Imprisoned more securely? Freed?

Unknown to the rest of the Regent's assembly, a short while before this impasse, Xishen bestowed the secret of teleportation to Father Abel Nightroad, suggesting to him that he could use it to escape and bring the other survivors with him. Though her motives for doing so are yet unknown, Abel and any other Pleroma attuned he explains this process to will be able to use the teleportation spell as explained on the powers page to escape the cavern. Two to three casters will be enough to plausibly bring all of the newly christened Pleroma with them; the trouble is that the ritual takes up to a half hour to cast, and once they begin, it will become apparent to their captors what's happening.

Once the teleportation ritual is discovered, Xishen will order the Kenoma inductees to put a stop to it, though she does not step up to fight herself. From there, the Pleroma will have to hold off the Kenoma for 20-30 minutes while the ritual completes, the exact speed depending on how many people are dedicated to casting. Player versus player conflict can occur during this time, and mod-rolled RNG outcomes to individual match ups will be available if they are desired.

Of course, the Kenoma have had time to recover and the Pleroma have not. As if to compensate for this disadvantage, the hope granted by this change of escape will awaken a surge of power in the Pleroma. Similar to how the Kenoma felt upon accepting it, Pleroma will receive a boost in endurance, strength, and magical capabilities during this time, though the effect will gradually fade afterwards.

When the ritual ends it is expected that the Pleroma will be able to escape, whether it's on their feet or by having their battered body hauled into the ritual area by a comrade. All characters who participated in The Empty Throne will be awarded 1 Reward Token which can be used to purchase new abilities and regains.

INCLUDED EVENT PROMPTS
◆ PVP COMBAT: Those Kenoma that are willing to listen to Xishen's orders will have the opportunity to clash against the Pleroma as they try to escape. Fights and mod-rolled RNG results can be requested here. Kenoma are not required to fight but those that do will receive a boosted positive reputation among the Regent's forces.

◆ REGAINED POWERS: All characters who have attuned will have their canon powers returned with the nerfs indicated on their applications. This include all Kenoma and all Pleroma. Pleroma characters will be receiving a hope-based power boost during the escape. For those with the Normie Discount, your Reward Token can be spent immediately and any new powers can manifest during the fight if that's something you'd like to play out.

◆ TELEPORTATION RITUAL: At least 2-3 Pleroma characters will be needed to cast the ritual, but the more there are the faster it will go. Past magical experience is not required for this plot role, though it may help make it more intuitive ICly.

◆ AFTERMATH LOCATIONS: Both sects will have a unique 'aftermath' location to thread in taking place after the escape has happened. This will cover the immediate aftermath of the event. Further locations and travel opportunities will be posted on April 2nd.

◆ ATTUNEMENT TRACKER: As of this event post, most sect attunements should be locked in! Please go update your Attunement Tracker with your character's current sect status.

I've been trying to think of a fun way for Kenoma Visionaries to interact! So now that the log's up and I'm looking to commit to some actions ...

Do you have any interest in any of the kenoma-vs-kenoma efforts Matt's gonna be making? What comes to mind is Matt trying to steal one of Silco's knives with levitation magic (basically: grabbing, but with the air) or stick him inside a shield spell for 5-10 minutes, but I'm open to anything in my plotting comment AND other stuff I didn't put in there. Matt's magic is pretty limited now, so the only other thing he really has going rn is fire.

I would be totally down for either of these! I am not giving Silco powers at this time -- I'm probably going to bank points instead -- but I would absolutely love to do something like that! The shield would be especially fun if we wanted them to talk a little bit too -- unless Matt would hightail it out of there pretty quick!

I will say though, first opportunity, Silco will Absolutely sell Matt out if he's going to take any action, if that's something you're okay with!

I have no idea how it would work, but he would try like the stinky rat man he is

1) Y e s, magic hamster ball is my personal favorite. Matt will totally hang out for a few minutes and .... you know, apologize, but also not undo it. Potentially tl;dr his worldview.

2) Please sell him out. Tell on him!!! Misa has first stabbing rights if she wants them, but that's also on the table.

1) boy oh boy matt, listening to his worldview :') silco will hate it
But yes! Bubbles would be great!

2) God lmao good news Silco's definitely gonna try to sell him out! It's more advantageous for him personally and well
you know, selfish men always lookin out for themselves

ALSO Because I am thinking about it, are you putting up a TL, or would you like me to add a closed prompt to mine when i get my ass in gear to do some?
