Get Your Towels Ready...
First things first: participants of the Nightmare Castle plot, please note that there have been some changes appearing around the castle lately — these alterations are reflected in the room descriptions of all plot posts, but you can see the full list of them here!
And with that out of the way, it's time to move on to...
NIGHTMARE CASTLE: THE FINAL RECKONING
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to what will (hopefully) be the final infopost of the Nightmare Castle plot! You've braved the nightmares, you've opened the doors, you've explored the premises, and that means it's time for...
THE FINAL BOSS FIGHT.
Please read this entire post carefully! There are very important details about how this is going to work inside!
THE BACKGROUND:
At 7:00 AM on Wednesday, October 30, another creaking groan will resound throughout the castle; as your characters may recall, the last time this castle made that noise, a new door leading to the upstairs had appeared. Well, if they decide to go check the stairwell, they'll discover that their intuition hasn't failed them; a door has appeared again, this time leading downstairs from the first floor. Because no horror movie is truly complete until our hapless heroes have explored the basement, right? Right.
However, they'll have to first get through the sigil locking the door. Unlike the upstairs doors, this one does not glow any particular color; as clever characters will probably quickly deduce, this door requires all three sigil colors pressed against it in order to unlock it, at which point it will look like this! Characters are welcome to handwave this (pun intended) if necessary; however, please try to find some CR to accompany you down there! You're going to want it, after all, because once you get down those winding stairs, you're going to discover that you're...well. Here.
DON'T YOU KNOW? YOU SHOULD NEVER GO IN THE BASEMENT.
KEY:
• RED areas are inaccessible regions! This time, characters have a little less discretion in what they perceive as the reason for the inaccessibility; it'll either be something like a broken or crumbling wall, a locked door, an archway overgrown with dangerous-looking vines, thick fog, or something else of that nature!
• The GREEN area is the set of stairs you used to get down here in the first place! Again, this is here so you know where your starting point is in relation to everything else.
THE LEADUP:
As you can see, the basement is structured such that there's really no place to go save for toward that purple X, which coincidentally happens to be residing directly below that Spooky Fountain people have been having strange encounters with all week. And as we're sure you've already guessed, that purple X is the Final Boss you've all been waiting for — and it's waiting for you in a room that looks something like this.
(The Goblin King called; he wants his labyrinth back.)
Like the other enemies your characters have been fighting thus far, the Final Boss is a massive formless creature whose attributes will be influenced by what your characters expect to see, or perceive as "monstrous"; though the Final Boss will not be moving from its position in the center of the circular chamber on the map, it will be sending out swarms of lesser monsters like the ones you've been fighting on the upper levels to harass anybody who might get too close. The actual layout of the circular chamber is basically a big doughnut: there's a wide platform that runs around the entire circumference, but a deep hole/pit in the center where the boss is standing. Or, well, "towering", really. Hence, you can't just walk up to the final boss; its feet aren't even visible from where it's standing in comparison to you.
When the Final Boss spots your characters entering the room, it will send out a wave of monsters to attack the intruders. But no problem, right? You've got your Pokemon back! Just throw out your Pokeball and order your faithful Pokemon to attack and—
...
...Watch as they shrink back and vehemently refuse.
None of your Pokemon, regardless of personality, will attack the Final Boss or its minions. Which means you're pretty much screwed, right?
Wrong.
See, as you might've guessed by now, everything that's taken place here is a dream (maybe), and that means all your characters have to do is...dream a little bigger.
THE PAYOUT:
Upon entering the boss chamber, characters who possessed supernatural powers in canon will discover those powers returning; characters who specialized in a particular weapon will have the ability to manifest one out of dream mojo. And characters who came from slice-of-life canons and/or had no particularly fantastic abilities of their own? Well, in your dreams, you too can be Spiderman, folks. Every participant in the final battle will have access to either their canon powers, their canon weapons, or a temporary burst of dream-granted powers (see below for details on this one) with which to fight the final boss.
Here's how it works.
Because this is a dream, your characters' abilities/weapons/etc are all being powered by an individualized source we're dubbing a "dream battery". Using your powers/abilities or keeping your weapon manifested uses up charge from the dream battery; as the battery drains, your character will become more and more fatigued until at last their battery runs out and they fall asleep. If your character falls asleep, they cannot be awakened again; they have KO'd from the fight for the duration of the final battle. Also, like in the encounters with monsters in the upper levels, if the Final Boss or its minions hits your character for damage, your character will experience fatigue along with pain, which will again put them closer towards passing out and falling asleep.
Thus, regardless of how powerful your character's abilities are in canon, they're running on a finite power source. Sure, Goku may be able to unleash the Kamehameha...once. But once he does, he's out of power and thusly out of the fight. So choose your world-ending attacks wisely!
For characters without canon abilities, we urge you to visit our Powers Request Subthread below and ask us for some superpowers! This can be just about anything you want — from the traditional "I want to shoot fireballs from my hands" to the character-specific "I want a hope beam that will let me inspire other people to fight better just from listening to the melodious sound of my voice." Be creative, be true to your characters, and have fun with it! However, note that this option is only for characters with no canon abilities/special weapons; Luke Skywalker is restricted to gaining back The Force for the duration of the bossfight, and cannot request the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes as well or instead.
HOW TO WIN THE BOSSFIGHT:
No man is an island, and this particular nightmare is such that no one person is powerful enough to defeat it! Therefore, the way to beat the boss is not the product of how hard you hit it, but by how many people are hitting it. If enough people join in, the boss will be vanquished, and your characters will achieve the Win condition for the plot! Here's how that will work:
On the plot masterpost, we have created a Bossfight Participation Subthread. Between the time when the log for the Final Bossfight goes up and 7:00 AM EST on October 31, participating characters must tag into the log with either one top-level comment or one response to a top-level comment and then link us to it in that thread. We will be using that proof of participation to determine whether or not the participating characters have achieved the win condition for the plot.
☆ THE NUMBER TO MEET OR BEAT IS 55 PARTICIPANTS ☆.
If FIFTY-FIVE or more characters tag into the bossfight log before the 7:00 AM EST deadline on Halloween, everyone wins the plot! If not, everyone loses the plot.
NOTE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FIGHT THE BOSS IN ORDER TO HAVE "PARTICIPATED". As we mentioned on an earlier post, so long as your character is there in some capacity for at least one tag, they get credit for showing up and will be counted toward the final total.
Some suggestions of things you could do to participate in the log are:
• Fight the boss
• Assist people who are fighting the boss
• Give an inspiring speech to increase morale among the people who are fighting the boss
• Fight the lesser monsters while other people fight the boss
• Flee from the lesser monsters while other people fight the boss
• Become imperiled and require assistance from someone else who is fighting the boss
• Rescue someone who has become imperiled while you're fighting the boss
• Scream in abject terror at the sight of the boss
• Run away from the boss
• Throw a Pokeball at the boss
• Throw a shoe at the boss
• Throw everyone's shoes at the boss
The possibilities are endless.
IT IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU GET YOUR CHARACTER'S ONE COMMENT IN AND LINK US TO IT DURING THE PROVIDED TIME WINDOW. Obviously, you're not limited to one comment and we highly encourage people to play out their encounters with the boss to their heart's content. However, for the purposes of adjudicating whether or not the plot has been won, participating characters must tag the log and show us proof of it on the participation thread. That is the thread we will be using to do the final count; we will NOT be checking the log post itself for the tally. IF YOU FAIL TO LINK US TO YOUR PARTICIPATION COMMENT, YOU WILL NOT BE COUNTED. So make sure to get it in to us in a timely manner!
Win or lose, the plot will ICly conclude at 11:59:59 PM EST on October 30, and all participating characters will be returned to their bodies at 12:00:01 on Halloween, after which they'll probably sleep through the night and wake up properly at around 7:00 AM EST. Whether or not they wake up with a goody bag filled with Fabulous Prizes sitting next to them is entirely dependent on whether or not they won the plot!
NOTE: Though the plot is ICly concluding at 11:59:59 PM EST, we will be extending the window of opportunity for your characters to get their participation comments in to us until 7:00 AM EST on Halloween! This is to give people a reasonably equal chance at getting their tags in without being penalized for being in a non-EST time zone. However, that window extension is OOC only! For your characters, their time in Nightmare Castle ends at the stroke of midnight leading into Halloween.
THE SUMMATION:
SO. To sum up, here's what you need to do sometime between now and 7:00 AM EST on Thursday, October 31st:
• Make cool plans for how you're going to participate in this boss fight!
• Ask us questions if need be!
• Head over to the Final Boss Log once it's posted!
• Tag into it in some capacity with your participating characters!
• Link us to those tags here!
• Encourage all your friends to do the same!
• Have fun threading around in the log and wait for the announcement from us as to whether or not you've won the plot!
~
☆ REMEMBER: IF YOUR CHARACTER DOES NOT POST TO THE BOSSFIGHT LOG AT LEAST ONCE (AS A TOP-LEVEL COMMENT OR IN RESPONSE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S TOP-LEVEL COMMENT) BEFORE THE CUTOFF, THEY WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD THE 55-PARTICIPANT GOAL! ☆

QUESTIONS FOR MODS | BADASS NORMAL REQUEST THREAD | BOSSFIGHT PARTICIPATION CHECK-IN
POWERS REQUEST SUBTHREAD
1) The powers you're requesting for your character
2) Why you're requesting those specific powers for them
no subject
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST:
-Alessa/Heather's vaguely psychic abilities from canon (Alessa, like, levitates and shit sometimes)
-Fire powers similar to canon/basically what I gave Heather during the LEGENDARY STEROID OUTBREAK plot.
Because this boss fight needs some jerk flying around and setting things on fire.
no subject
no subject
-- Evidence bullets
Basically the ability to fire bullets from his fingertips, triggered by shouting "You got that wrong!" or generally sounding like an Ace Attorney character. Actual evidence not required as long as he does the aforementioned shouting. I want this one since the gameplay during the trial segments of the game involve the evidence being listed as bullets which you later shoot at incorrect statements to refute them.
It would basically look like this with the shots being magical in nature rather than physical bullets.
-- Hope beam
Basically, the ability to make other people able to fight longer/recharge their Dream Battery by encouraging them not to lose hope. Hope beaming people will cause Naegi to feel worn out over time, though. He's an optimist and he canonly raises hope in other people and that's why I'm requesting this one.
no subject
Approved!
no subject
-Support/healing powers
More specifically, I'd like him to be able to give people a rage buff, where anybody he touches gets a power boost and all the strength and courage of a violent asshole. If he and anybody under the effect could glow, too, that would be awesome.
Also, it would be cool if he could heal people and recharge their batteries some, too, but if that's too much I'm fine with leaving that out.
The reasoning is that I'd like to play off his character development of having to learn to cooperate with people instead of charging in half-cocked and brutalizing everything in sight. Having to play a support role and help people would be a good shove in the direction of growth.
Also, it would piss him off royally.
no subject
Approved, O Bearded One!
Re: POWERS REQUEST SUBTHREAD

...look who the hell am I kidding I want Forget Beam to be a legitimate thing. We can call it whatever we want but that is pretty much the primary reason for this. That and inflicting status ailments on I Can't Believe It's Not Chernobog through berating its bad life choices and demanding that it not be evil, because hell, if anything's going to cause confusion it's going to be that.
So. Voice geas, nothing too sparkly, basically.
no subject
But yes, he is welcome
and encouragedto berate Captain Fantasia for its poor life choices and Forget Beam as desired. (He could also presumably buff people by shouting at them to fight on and give it their all, hard work and determination, etc, etc. but that's something else entirely, and open to your discretion.)Approved!
no subject
There's the whole canon line about Winry's hands being for helping people, and she does know about medicinal stuff in canon (curing injuries or at least knowing how to help with even bad injuries, helping with surgeries, being an automail mechanic requires some medical skills too... oh and she did help a woman to give birth to a baby etc. also the only child of doctors here.).
So she would be helping people with her new healing powers and possibly recharging their batteries too to support them in the fight. Mysterious with light appearing while she touches someone and then they're ready to do at least some things again – depending on how much injury there was to heal and how much of it could be healed by her. Or if someone isn't that much injured, but just almost out of energy, maybe she could also give some of her own energy to them... Meanwhile she'll try not run out of battery too fast herself, haha?
no subject
Re: POWERS REQUEST SUBTHREAD
She's more of a support character in canon and while she has no actual powers she has been shown to be capable with patching up wounds. I'm looking at it being something akin to how Botan or Yukina would heal in canon through physical contact. It would drain her dream battery considerably based on severity of the injury. She's never shown as someone who takes violence or injury to those she cares about very well. So she'd want to help the best she can without getting into too much trouble.

That's kinda cheating though, so I'm thinking maybe he could be true to his nature and get guesses wrong every now and then too. Or there could be major energy consumption for getting accurate guesses.
Oooor instead of that, maybe he can have some basic telekinesis to hurl objects at the minions/boss? He just needs some psychic powers for sure. He's often not taken seriously for claiming to be a legitimate fortune teller and being able to tell the future, so it would be cool if he could actually gain some visible powers to prove it once and for all, even if it's just a dream in the end.
no subject
Cheating or not, either one of these is fine — or both are fine! Generic telekinesis is no problem, and he's welcome to support via precognition/clairvoyance/what have you. Just make sure to give your fellow players a heads-up if that's going to come into play, and you should be fine!
Powers approved!

no subject
KIRIGIRI:
> In direct reference to all of her Chapter 5 fuckery, I'd like Kirigiri's "powers" — if you can even call them that — to manifest in the form of the ability to keep Naegi alive/awake/unharmed/what have you. (I have Naegi's player's permission for this!) I'm thinking this would come in the form of a sort of force-field protecting him from damage when she's in his proximity, the ability to replenish his batteries by touching him, that kind of thing. Naturally, doing this will wipe her out eventually, but hey, it's about time she chucked herself under the bus for his sake, and not the other way around.
CARMEN:
In keeping with something she does in canon (and her iconic ability), I'd like Carmen to have the power to steal other people's abilities — again, with player permission! She'd probably experience the double-up drain from doing so, having to both maintain the theft and put forth the juice to use their powers, but basically I'd like this because stealing implausible things is basically what she does, and she does in fact steal someone's talent in canon, so it's not altogether farfetched.
PARKER:
I would like Parker's ability to be the power to summon a neverending supply of chairs. Because in canon she beats people with them. c:
no subject
Consider these powers approved!

Rainbow Dash:
Staying true to her canonesque pony self, I'd like Rainbow's powers to manifest in the combined form of speed and flight. Performing simple tricks wouldn't drain her too much, but she could use the Sonic Rainboom as an offensive power considering she leaves a rainbow trail of flames behind in her wake, but using it more than once could eventually drain her of her speed and flight would be reduced to hovering in the sky.
Sayaka Miki:
As explained in canon, Sayaka's wish gives her very strong regenerative abilities as she used it in battle to fully heal from a fellow Puella Magi's attack. My request for Sayaka's ability can manifest itself as healing/support, with the feeling of any type of pain nullified or canceled out.

1) super speed. The inspiration for Shaun's powers are the three pokemon who came with him to Nightmare Castle, and since one of the things that makes his Floatzel Susie such a strong battler is her speed and evasiveness, that would be the trait that he would "dream up" from her as inspiration.
2) super strength (being able to lift and move people bigger than him with no effort) and the ability to use it to rescue people. This one comes from Chase the Charizard, but it's also subconsciously one that he attributes to his father as well. Chase's ability to carry passengers on his back in almost any situation is the direct inspiration for this one, but indirectly it links back to Shaun's feeling of safety and security when his dad rescued him from the well.
and 3) poison point. This one is obviously inspired by Finn the Nidoking, and the reasoning for it is incredibly pragmatic, although he wouldn't just wish for this one verbatim as much as he would try to dream up a way that he could fight back. Shaun knows that he's no fighter, so if he took a power like fire breathing, he might end up hurting an ally. So the poison point is an ability that would trigger only when he gets attacked, and would deal equivalent damage to the attacking creature with every landed hit.
He's basically Jack-Jack Parr.Since his combat role is going to be support/relief, mostly involving covering the "buff" characters and rescuing the fighters when they get K.O.'d, his powers are mostly defensive. Even though he has the ability to make this a wish-fulfillment fantasy and basically become Superman if he wants, this little boy has been through so much in the "real world" that his wish-fulfillment stops at "being strong enough to protect his friends" and to keep others from endangering themselves to keep him safe.(no subject)
