Set in the original region of Arciel, Legends Rising is a route-inspired, but not strictly route-based, Pokemon roleplay. Pick a faction, pick a class, and strike out into the wild to take on the League, master Contest coordination, research the mysteries of Pokemon and Arciel, and much, much more. Will you be a classic trainer? A criminal? A farmer? Choose your destiny on Legends Rising.
All the pillars flash red, and a buzzer sound is heard. You guessed incorrectly! The room begins to shake, and you fall into the pit! Suddenly, you hit the floor outside with a soft thud. You have been ejected.
You have entered the room.
What will you do?
You enter a room filled with cobwebs and spider Pokemon. You must navigate the webs to get through the room. There is a long table in the middle of the room. On top of the table, there are three candy bowls, and a sign reading "Choose 1". The bowl on the left has a live Joltik atop it. The bowl in the middle has a creepy hand sticking out of it. The bowl on the right has a cobweb atop. Pick a bowl. Players may pick different bowls or the same one. Roll one die at the end of your post.
Juni was thankful that the Mightyena was willing to go first— at least until a flash of red occurred and a buzzer sounded. Suddenly the woman in front of her was falling, and Juni was scrambling to reach out— only to be unable to do what the Migghtyena had done for her previously. A weird, strangled noise came and went from Juni as she stared down into the darkness??? “Are you ok??’ she called. There was no answer, and Juni pulled back from the pillars and rubbed her face a couple of times.
Ok. Ok. Ok Juni could do this. She was… oh who was she kidding could she really do this? Hopping over to the right pillars, she manged to solve the riddle and then… then went on. Even as the next room opened up, she kept looking backwards. She had to be ok, right? This was just a maze, right? No one could actually get hurt, right?
The next room had her skin crawling. Juni looked around and muttered soft words of mixed encouragement to herself as she stepped through the cobwebs and dust. As she came to the table, Juni fidgeted looking at the different bowls. She… uh… really wished she had someone here for this?? Her hand shook as she reached out to the bowl with a regular cobweb on top of it. That one… uh… looked a lot less frightening.
The cobweb doesn't seem to provide any resistance; this was probably the easiest bowl. You manage to take one Pecha Berry! Please update your bag. Onto the next room!
You have entered the room.
What will you do?
You enter a room lit by a single torch in its center. Six candles line the walls. On the left wall is a green, a red, and a purple candle. On the right wall is a yellow, an orange, and a blue. Each candle is also labeled for the colorblind. A backlit plaque reads: "Do not fear the storm. This comes after."
Oh, nice, a Pecha berry. A small breath Juni hadn’t even realized she had been holding escaped from her then. Pocketing the berry, she started forward into the next room. What came, though, immediately had her stopping short. Red eyes flicked from one color to the next, and she found herself thankful that some of them were written down.
Do no fear the storm… “A…. a rainbow?” she ask-stated unsure of whether this was the answer or whether she needed to do more? Wait they’re out of order… She realized. It should be Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, right? Rearranging the flames in the order, she waited.
The door lights up with a rainbow glow before sliding open. Congratulations! Onto the next room!
You have entered the room.
What will you do?
You enter a room that is lit only by a large moon-shaped light in the center of the ceiling, tiny LED stars that cover the rest of the ceiling like a night sky, and one dimly backlit plaque with instructions: "Pick a partner and sing".
A Midday, Midnight, and Dusk form Lycanroc sit around the room, howling at the false moon. Each has a small barrel hanging from their neck. Choose a Lycanroc and make a Performance roll! Players may choose the same or different Lycanroc.
Juni exhaled loudly. “Oh thank Arceus,” she muttered under her breath before going onwards. Her mind flicked back to the Mightyena again as she stepped through the doorway, and she quietly hoped they’d be able to meet up later or something.
The next room was… oddly beautiful. Juni felt herself cooling a little, calming almost, as her gaze flicked from the ceiling back to the ground again. As she caught sight of the Lycanroc, she couldn’t help but smile a little. What cute doggos. Adjsting the ears of her Growlithe hoodie, she felt surprisingly proud of her outfit right then.
Walking over to the Dusk Lycanroc, she reached to scratch his ears before turning to the moon again. She just had to sing right? Cupping her hands, she was about to howl when she stopped short. Wait, sing as in like… actually sing or sing as in howl or? Humming a little disjointedly, she sung. “From underneath the trees / We watch the sky / Confusing stars for satellites / I never dreamed that you'd be mine / But here we are, we're here tonight…”
The Lycanroc is pleased with your performance, and gives you 4 Rare Candies out of its neck barrel! Please update your bag! Onto the next room!
You have entered the room.
What will you do?
You enter a dimly lit room with three doors. In front of each door is an Eeveelution, one Vaporeon, one Flareon, and one Jolteon. A backlit plaque near the entrance reads: "Two tell lies. One tells the truth." Make a perception roll. (This is not tied to a Skill, it's just a flat die roll.)
As the puppers handed over the candies, Juni smiled a little. “Thanks,” she spoke before waving them off and heading on to the next room. Too bad all of the rooms hadn’t been so nice and easy. She wondered just how many more there were, though.
The dimness of the next room had Juni squinting and waiting for her eyes to adjust before she moved in further. Looking from the Jolteon to the Flareon to the Vaporeon thereafter, Juni then looked back at the sign. Two were liars. One told the truth. Just what exactly did that mean, though? “Uhm….”
It's almost hidden by the dark lighting, but you notice the Flareon has a Zorua's tail! Furthermore, you can see that the Vaporeon has cyan slitted eyes like a Zoroark! That leaves only the Jolteon! Will you go through its door?
Two were liars. Two were liars and one tells the truth. The heck did that even mean? Juni’s eyes flashed over the Pokemon over and over and over again until— Wait. Juni did a double take, but now she was sure of it. That Flareon’s tail was wrong. Her eyes moved slowly over the others. And the Vaporeon’s eyes were wrong… Slowly drawing over to the Jolteon, Juni checked it over before nodding to herself. “You’re the real Jolteon, huh?” she asked slowly smiling. She would indeed go through its door. “You guys almost got me though.” She had been lucky, and she knew it.
As you open the door, the other two Eeveelutions revert to a Zorua and Zoroark! The foxes all cheer for you. Onto the next room!
You have entered the room.
What will you do?
You enter a long dining hall filled with ornate gleaming furniture and amazing massive paintings lining the walls. Unlike the rooms in the maze, this one feels warm, well-lit, and pristinely maintained, an oddity in what is supposed to be an abandoned home for sure! Several Pokemon come up to you and cheer, taking turns handing over items to you! When they are done, they cheer once more, then your world goes black and you feel like you're spinning. You are suddenly back at the entrance, your prizes still in hand. Seems you weren't welcome to stay long in that private space, but you can rest knowing you've achieved something, and probably seen a glimpse of a life in this house that few others have seen!
You have received: 3 Dusk Balls, 12 Rare Candies, 450 Pen, a Shiny Powder, and 3 OOC Gems!
