| Now, Since Ueitawa is slowly coming to a close, and I've kept a close look on the Balancing Damage Discussion held in the Updates and Announcements, and I think it's about time we held a small dungeon run to test the new mechanics implemented in Endymion, if only to check and see how they work in action before the plot begins so that we all have a thorough understanding of what we're going into, and fixing any issues with the system before the plot actually starts... That way, we don't have to make changes mid-plot, which can be confusing at times, and we all get experience with it beforehand, making the first dungeons less confusing for us. Both newcomers and veterans to Dungeoneering alike are welcome here. You guys pick whichever class you want, and to some extent, get free reign over your Social Qualities and Ranks. You can have at least Rank 2 in 2 Social Qualities of Choice. You also get the opportunity to test out the Mask System here as well. You all start at Level 1, and will Level up as the dungeon proceeds, so we can test it all together, and make any adjustments necessary afterwards. The Dungeon itself is Acotali's Emerald City, a small dungeon designed to test the new aspects of Dungeon Running, as well as introducing newer players to the mechanics of Dungeon running in general. The area has a lot of optional paths which you can take if you wish. - Map Key:
Purple Stars = Shadows Orange Stars = These are demons that are patrolling the area. They are aligned to Acotali herself, however, they can be swayed during negotiation when encountered. They will see you within 4 spaces unless you land upon a QAS space. Pink Stars = QAS Space Black Spaces = Locked doors. Can be unlocked with an understanding quality of rank 2 or higher. Blue Spaces = Basement Floor. Requires a courage level of 2 to brave the basement. Spaces with an S are stairways down to basement level. White S marks are locked pathways that need an understanding quality of 2 or higher to unlock. Red Star = Boss/Mission objective. Blue Highlight = Starting position.
I'd recommend a smaller team, perhaps 2-3 players in this dungeon. I want you to be reasonably active, and get this stuff done as quickly, and efficiently as possible. No need to send in an App if you already have an approved character, as you can just use that one if you feel so inclined. Less work for us both. There will be No Need for a Tactical Support Role, as I will give control of the TS to one of the players, using the Tension System used in the Brahman fight. - Support Information:
Support Role: A support role is not referring to a PC but instead an NPC. This NPC acts as a supportive role for your team. This supportive role could vary, depending on your alignment. In this case, it is going to be Victoria Evans. Each Supportive Role NPC has their own skill list that comes with them. The catch for them is that there are limits to when they can actually assist you during combat. They each will have their own meter that builds up by a set amount for each turn during combat. Depending on the amount of meter will determine what skill they can do, and also how much meter they will need to burn to perform this skill. Some skills may even break the 100% limit and go further. Think of it like the supportive role of Persona Q if you must. To perform these skills, the leader of your group (who will most likely be posting first in order) will perform the Support Skill their turn. It does not take up their own turn, but does come out at the start of your turn cycle. Meaning if it is a healing skill, it will heal everyone, and then their attack will go through followed by the rest of your team, normally. The Tension Limits: These will grow by set percents each turn of combat. Your Supportive Role NPC may have certain moves that can only be used during battle and some that can only be used during dungeon traversal. - 0% - 15% - 25% - 50% - 75% - 100% Victoria's Moveset: Mediarama | Recovers a moderate amount of HP (60%) to all allies. | 25% | Tier 2 Remote Cast | Allows user to cast supportive skills on party members without needing to be within their exact location. [Must be in same dungeon/topic] | Passive | Tier 4 Full Analysis | Used to detect an enemy's stats, weak points, and any attacks or skills it may use | 50% | Tier 3 Analysis | Used to detect an enemy's stats and weak points | 15% | Tier 2 Heavenly Wind | User empowers their teammates with an enhancing aura right before their next attacks. This will make their next attacks unavoidable. | 75% | Tier 3 [PvS only] Zero Set | Next turn, all skills will have a cost of 0 for all party members [Not including self and 3 post cooldown] | 100% | Tier 4 Matarukaja | Raises all allies' Attack by 30% for 3 turns. | 25% | Tier 3 Remote View | Allows user to locate, speak with and monitor allies no matter the distance within a dungeon. User can create a virtual "phone call" with their Persona that allows everyone to talk to each other at once. With this, the user can see through their partners eyes, and scan enemies using this method even if they're not in the area.| Passive | Tier 2 - Code:

NOTE: I'm posting this up for people to Prepare for the run. It'll be held once Ueitawa actually ends. Since no-one's really taken it upon themselves to hold it, I'll do so gladly. More practice for me. If anyone has any objections, or want someone else to hold this, feel free to voice your concerns here. Other than that, I hope this dungeon will fulfill it's purpose. I could start it earlier, if needed, but I'd like at least some Moderators/Admins to check here first, to make sure it's okay. ~ Thanks for taking your time to read this. Hope you have a pleasant day. | |

| We are naturally confused easily, so I adore you for this. I'll use Char and Calabus 1) to get use to the system and two to see if they fully work without kinks in a battle situation. If you want more information you can read their app. Tweaking a strength/weakness as we speak.
So level 2 in 2 areas of Social Qualities and then basic stats for fighting? I think I got it. I'll draw something up later to get ready for this. Characters are set, its just the numbers now. >> | |

| I guess I can do this since I don't have a lot of stuff on my hands. I'd probably use my Endy SS. Just gotta get his app done. | |
