Event || Mysterious Fathoms Below

[eternitymods]

Who: All characters who signed up
When: June 23rd-25th
Where: Ka'Pandol, the underwater city
What: While the outworlders and their guides are touring the new arena at Ka'Pandol, the city begins to flood. It is up to them to activate the ancient drainage system beneath the city before the Blitzball Association is forced to cancel the upcoming tournament.



The Zora guide, Pharce, is leading the group from the Curti Center through the center of town, waxing poetical about the legend of the First Zora, when the sirens begin to wail. At first, the residents of Ka'Pandol wave it off as a drill, but the sirens do not stop, and as they walk, the visitor shoes are beginning to get soaked through with sea water that is slowly rising.

"Come along, quickly, all of you!" the guide calls, leading the group to the Bureau of Tourism near the city center. As they walk, the group will see the aquatic residents quickly deploying bubble helmets around their 'exotic' pets -dogs, cats, parrots, squirrels- heads, just in case City Management takes their time righting whatever issue the dome is having.

"Inside, please. Safety first is our motto, so let's get you outfitted," Pharce says, waiving them inside. Each person is given one of the patented Ka'Pandol Bubble Helm, which will allow them to breath comfortably for several hours. Those that cannot swim are issued an emergency life vest as well.

The water had reached knee-level now. An emergency evacuation message broadcasts from loudspeakers.

"Well, yes, you could...but where's the fun in that?"

Pharce waves at the Hypello gift shop owner, and the two bow their heads in discussion for a moment. When they part, Pharce pats the Hypello (whose nametag declares him 'Shtan') on the back.

"My good friend will lend us some of his wares, if you will join me in saving the city. We wouldn't want this little mishap to delay the big game, after all."

Those that agree to hold off on fleeing the city will be split into groups and given instructions on where to go in order to help the sinking city of Ka'Pandol.

[ Fucking finally. Her time to shine has come. It was getting frustrating to just cast useless spells and let everyone else in the spotlight, but at long last Necromancer would prove useful.

She was happy about this. Perhaps too happy, normal people shouldn't be that happy to try killing monsters. ]

Earth Grave!

[ She doesn't waste any time and uses her necromancer magic on the poor flan. ]

[littlemhigan]

Tch, again!

[ Castor seems a little irritated at the Flan's choice of elements, but before she can cast, she hears Ren's suggestion. ]

Flew my tank into that thing, but lets see what I can do for ye...

[ She drops another Glacier spell, this time a little bit behind Ren; hopefully, the force of the spell going off in the first place would give him the momentum he needed, and if not, there's something solid for him to shove off himself. ]

[nanaimo_bar]

[With most of the healing not needed at the moment, Nanamo started to cast a aero spell to aid and push Ren into the enemy in a tagteam move with Castor.]

Winds, aid our fighter!

[eternitymods]

[Noctis and Castor's Ice Spells freeze the Aquatic Slime to the floor, where it cannot escape Monika's finally effectively Earth Spell. The combined effect sends large frozen shards of slime skittering across the floor.

Team Minnow, meanwhile, is able to wrangle some fish toward the now-below average sized slime. The fish, usually too timid to nibble from the slime's body directly, are now forced toward it while its defenses are reduced.

A feeding frenzy begins. When the minnows finally dart away, the slime is shorter than the all of the Heroes facing it, except for Nanamo.

The slime glows, shoots out another partially-reduced Bolt spell. It shifts to Dark Blue again, attempting to camouflage itself in the water around it.

Jes die already! [ Castor growls through the pain of another thunder spell, and aims her next Glacier spell for as close as she can to where she remembers the core of flan was. ]

[warpstriking]

[There's just one problem about trying to blend in, and that's the fact that dark blue equals water. He might hate himself for this later (specifically, casting this and everyone taking some damage), but he casts Thundara again.]

Suffer! [...Yeah he might still be mad about the Aero spell, though.]

[gathersnomoss]

[Zelgadis expends his air tank at the Slime... then throws the empty tank at it for good measure.]
