Hi, if you're not involved, don't post until the completion of the TLR.
Anyways, Athenodoros is back for another round of TLR, ready to be crushed once more! Let's see what he decided to bring... Athenodoros
Ares the Lucario @ Expert Belt
Posedion the Swampert @ Expert Belt
Nestor the Slowking @ Expert Belt
Backpack
TIMELESS TOWER Timeless Tower is an unfathomably large structure seated on an impregnable cliffside. The tower's main spire looms over its entrance hundreds of feet into the air. Bridges extend from the main tower to three separate spires, each on an island pillar of immense density. The ocean roars violently below, beckoning you to stay away. The bridge to the east leads to a tower frozen over in a massive pillar of ice. The sunlight glistens against its reflective surface, yet no melt can be shown. You look cold just staring at it. The bridge to the west leads to a craggy pillar that seems to be etched from the very earth itself, impossibly dense and immovable. A third tower can be seen behind the structure on your map, but it is eclipsed by the sheer enormity of the main spire. It is made of the sturdiest looking metal you have ever seen, an unnaturally purely refined solidity that shares the brilliant sheen of the icy tower and the sheer density of the crag. As you go up to the entrance, the drawbridge on the main gate opens and falls with a loud crash onto the only access to the mainland. On either side of the bridge are statues of Golurk holding up massive spears. As you enter the main atrium, a massive statue of Golem rolled up into a ball takes the centre of the arena. You look around the room and see exits your east and west going to the towers, stairs built into the floor going down presumably to the tower behind the main spire, and a massive door with 3 slots in the gate. Depictions of the gate are on the left and right, and show 3 stones being placed in the gate. Both mosaics are completely sand-coloured except for the stones. One is an azure blue, one is a dull brown, and the other a shimmering silver. You attempt to push the gate, but it is so massively heavy you feel tired just pushing on it. It will not budge. What could this all mean? And where do you go from here? Your Options are as follows... Enter Ice Spire Enter Rock Crag Enter Iron Dungeon You do not have to go to Rock Crag to reach HA. Other than that, TLR Begin!

ATHENODOROS
Iron Dungeon - Still Pall You decide that you want to head north to the metal pillar, feeling that it will be the best dungeon to start with, so you go inside. You instantly have to put up with dullness & endless staircases as soon as you're inside & you find it to be rather annoying. Eventually, through the staircases & whatnot, you come across a chamber that feels silent. You see that it is empty, & carelessly make your way inside. Not as soon as you make your way inside, you are instantly attacked by two intricate mechanisms, i.e. Klink. These two are not friendly & attack you, forcing you to send in your three Pokemon. It's time to duel, it seems...

Iron Dungeon - Still Pall As always, you try to catch the victim, & you end up catching it in 2 attempts. Well done. After the battle, you pick up 1 Steel Gem (The other is equipped to your captured Klink), & move on to the next area.

You know the drill by now. Also, if you wish to nickname your shiny new Klink, do so now. |

ATHENODOROS
Iron Dungeon - Gear Golem Some more Staircases await you as you struggle to make it up some of them. Eventually, you come across a very strange chamber. While the rest of the area seem bland for the most part, a very intricate design has been placed here. A massive humanoid contraption stands at the centre of the room. What this represents you have no clue. It doesn't really resemble any person or Pokemon you know of. In any case the room has no apparent exit, but the gear golem has several levers in front of it. Upon review, the room looks a bit round on the edges, not like the square steel structures you've been used to. There are 3 levers, left, right, and centre placed about 2 metres in front on the golem. You hear clanging behind you, forward seems like the best part. Which lever shall you pull? a) Pull the lever on the left. b) Pull the lever in the centre. c) Pull the lever on the right.

ATHENODOROS
Iron Dungeon - Gear Golem You pull the right lever, thinking it will have a cache of items in it, & the gear golem springs to life and rotates to the right, extending its arms. The room rotates and a corridor to the right opens up. The left lever breaks in your hand. The golem powers down and you find you can't budge the other levers. You'll need to power it again. You look back but find the original entrance is sealed. With nowhere to go, you venture left, and you find a power source... or more accurately, it finds you. A Magneton greets you and uses a Magnetic Field to bounce forward your Klink. It won't dispel for two rounds. Magneton generates another field and rises further from the ground, then glows red and targets your pokemon with red rings. This does not look good for you...

1) You must be kidding
2) This is going to be a ridiculous battle 3) Klink: Zap Cannon * 3 IF magnetron gets paralysed, use Charge ~ Thunderbolt from then on.

Allow me to make your day worse then...Also, your substitution is illegal, although I will accept IF Zap Cannon hits Magneton, however...Lastly, don't blame me, blame random.org. After all, IT decided your fate...
ATHENODOROS
Iron Dungeon - Gear Golem Your luck turns from bad to worse as Magneton successfully paralyses Klink...And manages to avoid 2 Zap Cannons from Klink, & the 3rd never came, due to paralysis.

Why does TLR hate me so much? This whole thing couldn't have gone worse. ffs. Anyway, it just dies instantly I guess.
Zap Cannon until you die i.e. not at all. If by some bizarre manner of strange actions from Random you hit and have another action, use Thunderbolt from then on. Ugh.

Apparently, the more you complain, the worse it gets...So I advise you don't complain. ATHENODOROS Iron Dungeon - Gear Golem Magneton is a trap. It shows no mercy. It fries Klink with a bolt of lightning. Klink faints. You come to the rescue with Ares, Posedion, & Nestor. Issue your actions.

Magneton: Discharge > Discharge IF Posedion uses Wide Guard successfully, THEN replace that action with Electro Ball (Nestor) (This substitution supersedes all other subs) IF Nestor uses Disable (Discharge) on you successfully, THEN replace all remaining actions with Thunderbolt (Nestor) > Electro Ball (Nestor) (If there's actions left)

gdi parahax. Although I guess considering my luck before I should be thankful there was only one. Anyway, time to cross fingers and hope.
Chuck Heal Balls until it is caught. gdi it had better not take long.

With the Magneton out of the way, the Gear Golem powers up again & you see that two levers remain. Which one will you pull? a) Pull the lever on the left. b) Pull the lever in the centre. You also have the opportunity to change your party & items around, and nickname Magneton as well. Since you have data, I don't need to send Magneton's data to you. Lastly, you should totally waste your 4k on your response to this. :P |

![]() ![]() ![]() w00t, a 4K!! Shoutouts to all of those who deserve them and none to those who don't, and unfortunately hat is just about the best that I can do atm. Special mention goes to the IRC crowd. You're all cool. Well, mostly. And props to Random for reffing this and all my crazy challenges (I actually think a good proportion of the last 1K would be you haxxing me). I'll be back on IRC in a few weeks, so I'm sure you can all hang on for a bit. Oh, and as for this, we'll charge ahead to the Left Lever! And I'll call my new Magneton Forky after this great occasion, and add him in over Nestor.

Congratulations. :)
ATHENODOROS
Iron Dungeon - Gear Golem Curious about the left lever, you decide to pull it, & you do. The Gear Golem spins around & rotates, before revealing the cache you wanted to see, now with items on pedestals. They could be booby-trapped. Unfortunately the golem has stopped moving, and there's still two other levers. You try them, but they are stuck. Looks like you'll need to chance it. The items are Ether, Silk Scark, & Rock Gem. What will you do? a) Grab 1 Item (Specify) b) Grab 2 Items (Specify) c) Grab them all

Iron Dungeon - Gear Golem Deciding not to be greedy, you pick up the Ether & the Gear Golem sparks to life again! Luckily for you, nothing else happens...At this point, only the lever in the centre remains, & unsurprisingly, you decide to pull that lever, & much to your surprise, the lever opens a Staircase. More staircases...So you reluctantly go up them, onward to the next area.

OPEN ME! BE ENTHRALLED BY THIS RP SCENARIO!
So, you end up going through more staircases...When is this going to come to an end...Eventually, you see light at the end of the tunnel, & you enter this next room. Looks like you have come across an abandoned scrapyard. As you look around there seems to be little of value, however you imagine there's a few abandoned appliances here. You spot an array of broken down appliances. You could probably take one with you, it seems a Rotom used to inhabit it and it has enough energy to fit in one of your Pokeballs, at least until you leave. So, what shall you do? a) Grab an appliance (Specify). b) Move onward.

I am enthralled, but much as I have often thought of getting a Washtom, I think I can just spend the TC.

Exactly why Scrapyard should be replaced...Of course, you can garner enough CC to buy one anyway if you make it to the end of Iron Dungeon anyway...
ATHENODOROS
Iron Dungeon - Scrapyard You show no interest in the appliances & you decide that the best action to take is to move on, & you do so without incident. It's still unsettling how much trash was in a place with no people to create it...
Your Current Party

Iron Dungeon - Iron Maiden Unfortunately, more staircases await you as you struggle to surmount them. You can feel that you're getting higher up the tower at this point & eventually you come across another chamber. What you enter, is a bland, iron-coloured area with few defining features. This whole tower appears cold, hollow, and heavy, and this room is no exception. You come down the end of the hall to a dead end and find yourself frustrated. You look around and notice how wide the place is. This is a hall and must be at least 5 metres wide. The size of the place begins to make your heart sink. Sadly, the only thing left at the end of this hallway is a 3 metre tall statue of a woman in full battle dress. She holds a shield and a sword, but both look like they can be taken. The expression on the statue's face is entirely wooden, it appears she'll be displeased with any decision. Both objects look extraordinarily heavy but maybe you can use one of them, which one will you choose? a) Grab the Sword! b) Grab the Shield! |
