Pokemon Umbral Theatre 30: Go Get Some Snacks...

[Dracorion]

To be fair, she'd either take all of it home or turn it into her own, decidedly hotter and slightly less deadly dominion.

I think I'm pretty much done with this Honmyr map. So far, these're the dungeons I've created:

White Wastelands: Located north of the village of Wintervale, the White Wastelands are considered by many to be the ultimate survival experience. Biting winds, a lack of food or warm shelter, and the mighty Ruin General Syndell would make you wonder why people bother putting mercury in thermometers used there, 'cause it ain't goin' up no how.

Tri-Scar Canyon: Created by Gaea when it fought Chroma, these canyons were torn right out of the region's northern edge like some kind of giant claw reached up from the depths of the sea and pulled the land apart. In the southern tip of the central canyon lies the entrance into the Fahngrest Imperial Ruins, currently sealed off by the Ruin Generals.

Miasma Mountain Range: The home of Balor, the Dragon/Poison type that Irene currently possesses. The toxic atmosphere is so deadly in some places that scientists consider it more inhospitable than if it was irradiated. The toxin has not only squelched the land of any possible flora or clean water, but has caused mutant vegetation and other strange occurances (poisonous crystals) instead. Bring your hazmat suits.

Abandoned Quarry: A tunnel system that was used to mine ore in the Miasma Mountain Range. Now it's used as the safest possible land passage to the Recycled City from anywhere else. Most of the quarry is closed off as it is not a part of the new passage, but some people still take the scenic route regardless...and end up regreting it.

Mystery Manor: Mission Two gave you a very linear tour of the place, and it's generally a forboding manor that is not even on the market since no one would think of buying it. Obviously, it's a home to numerous Pokemon that don't really care to be visited by humans.

Wingswept Desert: Nope, that ain't a typo. The Prideguard HQ is located here, and it is where many flying Pokemon go to get away from cold places and to build strength in their wings. The raging sandstorms here provide lots of good training.

Clenched Forest: In this forest, all of the trees arc towards some kind of epicenter. Nobody knows why they're all bent, most likely some kind of super gravity distortion, but otherwise it's home to a great many Grass, Poison, Flying, Bug, and other Pokemon types.

Bandit Jungle: In the days of the Fahngrest Empire, barbarians inhabited and assailed the empire from this sprawling jungle. Nowadays, the Crimson Amazons pretty much do the same, but their focus is actually more on peaceful communion with Pokemon and nature. They've been known to attack the various farmlands north of the jungle in an attempt to free the Pokemon there, particularly those that are being raised just to be eaten.

Corpsemire: Nosferatu the legendary Pokemon of the Shadow type and all other Shadow Pokemon reside here. It is also where the gate to the Kimono's netherworld exists. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of soldier and Pokemon corpses are buried in the murky, cold waters.

Old Pirate Fortress: An ancient and uninhabited pirate fortress from the days of Fahngrest, only archaeologists and Pokemon live here now. Judging from some of the structures, something else existed here that the fortress was actually built upon.

Shipwreck Graveyard: Submerged and mysterious during the day, exposed and creepy during the night. Supposedly, it was during the Ruin Pokemon invasion of long ago that these pirate ships were first sunk beneath the waves.

Colonized Beach: Not really a pretty place, but definitely a happenin' one. Happenin' with Pokemon, that is. From jungle to beach to shallow water to deep sea, this area offers a huge selection of Pokemon to catch, much more than any Safari Zone for sure.

Liviglyph Temple: You know that you can get the pseudo-legendary Psychic type Unownaut here, but the method for doing so is beyond complicated. Other than that, this is also the only place in Honmyr to catch Unown for every letter and the two punctuation marks.

The "Offlands": "Something is off about this place," one would say, and they'd discover how this strange place got its name. There are numerous disturbances here that completely change the rules around every so often, such as making the move Rain Dance cause a sandstorm or instantly killing something that healed during the previous turn. The tables can be turned and turned again in any encounter in this place.

Weapons Graveyard: After the two Wars of Succession, both sides wound up with a lot of crap that they could neither fix or do anything else with, so they just chunked it all into big above-ground landfill. It's a labyrinth of metal junk decorated with spent munitions. Beward as there are some dud explosives that could possibly still detonate.

Resonance Ruins: Strange ruins with a "sonic boom" theme to them, using tubes and emitters to solve puzzles by destroying solid rock doors with powerful sonic blasts. Nobody knows what these ruins hide, but Jeanette has a theory about a certain as-of-yet unseen legendary Pokemon.

Submerged Maw: A very, very deep hole. Glowing crystals line the massive opening, making it look like a big, toothy maw. There is also underwater fungus that also give off light, but unfortunately no warmth, which will be one's biggest concern...well, that and the large predators.

Devouring Catacombs: An old Hiroshiho Empire facility long abandoned. Used to imprison and torture those who would dare defy the emperor, but few of them actually used it. There's a good number of Pokemon here, but there are also some unsprung traps within designed to prevent escapees.

Now all I need to do is add some towns 'n' shit. Anybody wanna make requests?

I'm thinking Pierce has been to these places. It's just things he would've done while he was traveling.

Aside from Impact's hometown?

I dunno. Milsha's hometown? Really, you could come up with any number of towns to serve as hometowns for so many PATCA members.

Anyway, I'd like to add two locations. Not really dungeons, just scenic places:

Gaea's Navel: Unknown if it has any relation to the Gaea. Could be that they guy that named it was just trying to say it was the planet's belly button. Anyway, it's a gigantic, deep basin in the land. Several rivers meet and empty into it. The waterfalls that cover almost all the edges create a beautiful view of many dancing rainbows for anyone staring at the bottom.

Name-not-yet-decided: Originally discovered by Tim and Iridia Granger, this secluded area contains the largest concentration of unevolved Pokemon in Honmyr. Turns out, it's because a large Everstone lies at the bottom of the river that supplies water to this place, and it's constantly being eroded. Tiny little Everstone bits end up in the water, plants and rocks that the Pokemon consume. No big mystery here.

These are just a couple of locations that I wanted Pierce to show off later on. Maybe take someone on a date to one of them. I might just combine the second one with the first, too.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Jeremy has totally been to The Offlands or will go there

[Dracorion]

AB, how are we going to do the optional dungeons? Like, are they going to be extra missions or do we do them during the intermissions?

[Menarker]

I'd only like to request "Moonlight Cove" as a place that Renny has found/visited. (In particular, this spot was where Renny's Eevee evolved to Umbreon.)

Moonlight Cove: A series of tiny islands submerged underwater curved in a semi-circular fashion leading to a pristine beach with a very noticable earthen cliff layered at the top with fresh grass with a magnificent view of the horizon that can be access through a dense but pleasant park (or by flying). Curiously, there is always at least light rain at night in the entire location except during the full moon where it seems to appear 3 sizes bigger and all the clouds glimmer and flicker with silver linings and suspended rainbow drops as if the clouds are glass prisms refracting the moonlight. A potentially romantic spot although this location is also generally inhabited by water pokemon and ground pokemon on the beach, grass pokemon in the forest and dark pokemon during the full moon although never on the cliff which is oddly always deserted by wild pokemon. However, the beaches are frequently empty especially during the day because the chaotic and powerful tides and currents make swimming unsafe for the average citizen.

[Dracorion]

You're still using that word!

And yes, I'm definitely going to start nagging every time you use it.

[Menarker]

Sorry, force of habit.

We totally need a place for fire pokemon like a volcano... or even better... I got an idea for another "dungeon".

Eternal Engine: An effectively abandoned (BUT OPERATIONAL!) industrial city that includes a power plant, a smelting station and several other "vital services" that are so ill maintained they utterly violates OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations. A great place for electric, fire, steel and poison pokemon (mainly the man-made acid goo variety) among others that prefer to live in industrialized locations such as fighting pokemon.

[Astral Harmony]

I checked out High School of the Dead. It's an incredible zombie survival anime. Hell, some of the time I even forgot about the rampant bouncing and panty shots. Those wacky Japanese and their silly ideas about what japanese high school girls look like.

I'll make sure to add those places. And of course I forgot one of my favorite ideas...

Metal Hell: An old, though not ancient, subterranean tunnel system located beneath Fainas Metropolis. Overrun with Pokemon and abnormal people, Pokegeddon is believed to hide out in this sprawling labyrinth of abandoned subway tunnels and unused sewer pipes.

Fossil Cliffs: A series of vertical climbs from the edge of the westernmost part of Honmyr, the Fossil Cliffs feature numerous fossils that are very dangerous to get to. Lotsa sharp rocks await you if you fall, but there are some small caverns in the massive rock walls should you need a place to take a breather or sleep for the night.

And the current cities in Honmyr...

Fainas Metropolis: the largest and most popular city in the region, Fainas Metropolis has many alluring features including all kinds of cuisine, the President's house, most of the region's most popular celebrities like Alphonsine and a good number of Pokemon to catch all throughout the streets. The PATCA Headquarters is here, as is Ricewood Masterworks and numerous other big industries. The city is so large that it features not one but two Pokemon Gyms. The current president is Matthew Andricksen.

Hiroshiho Empire: the third largest city in the region after the Recycled City, the Hiroshiho Empire was created by the descendants of the Ruin Pokemon invasion survivors. The current empress is Sakuya Kazetsubaki. Most people here choose to be a Slayer class before considering Pokemon training, and obviously you'll see the region's wealth of samurai and ninja here. There's a Pokemon Gym here as well. The Vorpal Frenzy mercenaries (where Lucian and Discord work) have their primary guild branch here, though few Hiroshiho people actually do mercenary work or rely on the guild itself. PATCA doesn't have a large base set up here, mainly due to Sakuya's hatred of them.

Recycled City: Not every great invention is discovered by the scientists in Fainas. The Recycled City is famous for creating the popular constructs known as Evoliths. There's still a lot of untouched Evolite and evolution stones in the mountains, which brings a lotta profit to the city but you'll usually never see the money at work. The city looks to be of poor construction, but that's mostly due to the people who care more about practicality than style and presentation. There's a gym here as well. Their current leader, called the City Chief, is Iris Waynard.

Wintervale: Sandwiched between the White Wastelands to the north and the Miasma Mountain Range to the rear, Wintervale is home to some really tough people. You'd pretty much have to be tough to live in this village for an extended period of time. It's popular for its snow-based activities, but most of the natives prefer to continue doing their jobs from hunting to mining to logging. A Pokemon Gym can be found here, one of the more dangerous ones to get to. Natalya Baskinova serves as both the village's chief as well as the branch chief of the PATCA branch there. Right there they're a little alert because the Fear Vanguard has been seen around there.

Farmlands: Located generally south of Fainas, this is a collection of several small villages connected to massive farmsteads featuring tens of thousands of arable acres. The people out here are highly disciplined and hard working and grateful for all that they get, and they all work just as hard as their Pokemon and machines do. There's actually a gym out here as well.

Sunken Commonwealth: A small nation in its own right, this place was founded and is inhabited by Water type Pokebrids. It's not an advanced underwater city like Rapture from Bioshock, more like some kind of mermaid kingdom where everyone works for the betterment of the commonwealth because it works hard for them. They have a gym here, but it's entirely optional. It's not like every trainer in the world would want to put Water Pokemon DNA in them just to go down there.

And really that's all I got. So obviously I'm gonna look at some stuff and get some ideas.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, Drac asked a question, didn't he?

I wanna say that you can explore dungeons during intermissions, but I have a feeling that not all five of you will agree to that. I have an idea where these "free adventures" can be done while you're also doing your missions using a separate thread which is during the same timeline, just at a different time.

For example, suppose Mission 4 starts and then...oh, Dracorion comes along and goes "I wanna take these chicks to this dungeon and I want it to happen during the previous intermission". Even though that intermission has already passed, we can still have sort of a "this happened in the past, if case y'all give a shit" thing goin' on where Pierce has his adventure in a separate RP thread while all five of you PCs are still doing your mission. Obviously, because this is a lot of work, I'd like to keep the teams really small unless you're all generally agreed on holding off on the main segment to do some adventurin'/saving Lola from ninja/finding the Sexcalibur thing together.

The more I think about this random adventure idea Dracorion came up with, the more I think there should be a dungeon called the Cave of Assrape.
