Mission 5: The Depths of Knowledge
Characters: Conductor-san, Kanji, Ran, Nodoka, Buguese, Molly, Teddie, Ryoji, Kukaku, Shinx/Cat-Thing, Tails, Jane, The Medic, Kenshin
Purpose: Exploring the underground passage
Location: Underneath the auditorium
Time: After school on Thursday, May 28th
Warnings: Violence, monsters, and perhaps worse
Summary: After the kidnapping of Tomoe-sensei, witnessed by the students, and the mysterious disappearance of Headmistress Matron, the Conductor decided that mission protocol was now in order. The passengers are gathered at the back of the auditorium, where a rumored entrance to a secret passage waits. What will they find within? The missing faculty? The monster that attacked during class? Only time, with some courage, would tell.
The auditorium was dark and silent, having a mood much different from the last time the Conductor had been around when the Headmistress gave her introduction. The passengers who had joined her for the mission were now gathered on the stage, around an odd door in the floor that was particularly hard to find. The Conductor, ready as usual, stepped forward with her briefcase.
"Alright, everyone." She addressed the group with a slightly more serious tone than usual. "These dire consequences aren't going to go away on their own! There is still some time before we're due to depart, but you have only until then to go about your search." Taking a moment to open her briefcase, she brought out a familiar item from a previous mission. "I'll be giving these out again, just in case. It may be dangerous beyond this point and I wouldn't want anyone failing to return."
[[ The Valkyrie Seeker is making a return for this mission, for those of you who remember it from Lotus Blossom Central. It's a small device with a button that, when pressed, will instantly transport the holder back to the auditorium. This will happen automatically for any character who is incapacitated during the mission. Please be aware of this possibility, as there may be monsters lurking in the dungeon. Incapacitated characters will not be able to return to the dungeon, and it will be up to the remaining characters to finish the mission.
This mission will be divided into four sections.
The first section is In the Auditorium. Here, the characters are free to start threads and interact with each other before everyone begins exploration of the dungeon. This is a good time to formulate strategies and assign tasks in preparation for almost certain battle.
The second section is Rumored Passage B1F. When everyone is ready, the dungeon crawl will begin. The express-mobs NPC journal will be used to facilitate events in the thread, such as monsters appearing or forks in the road. Do your best to make it through the area in one piece!
The third section is Rumored Passage B2F. It is very similar to the previous section, except the characters must first make it through the first part of the dungeon before they can attempt getting through this second part.
The fourth section is After the Mission. Once the mission is over, whether a success or a failure, characters are free to interact here in order to discuss how things went. This is the perfect place for characters to ask questions and tie up any loose ends.
And that's pretty much everything. Good luck on the fifth mission!
Also, for fun, here is a good BGM for the auditorium: here! ]]
