[EV-PP-F27] Once More Unto the... Carnival? <<Ravana's Revenge>>

Rencesvals · December 13, 2024

It had taken Ren much longer to figure out the complex pattern of woven knots required to uncover the mystery of the cord gathered during the Diwali festival. Truthfully, he'd kinda forgotten about them, especially with the whole mess on twenty-nine. Added to the time needed at The Knight Shift's forge, and the added commitment of keeping frontline armaments in working order, there wasn't much left to go around.

But, a quiet moment had finally found him, and after a bit of research with Jeeves' assistance, they'd managed to decipher the clues and assemble the knots correctly. No sooner had they done so than a special portal opened. Summons were immediately issued and the crew called in to wipe the floor - assuming there was a floor - with whatever lay on the other side.

"Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I consulted with some of the local elders in Ordsea. They seem to think it has a demonic connection of some sort. Perhaps a special dungeon. Regardless, it seemed best to go in prepared."

<<Ravana's Revenge>>
Party Limit: 4 | 20+ Posts
Repeatable for mon

1,000 EXP each
15,000 col each
1 mon each
Per Player: Choice of Demonic Shard (1) or Gleaming Scale (1)

Requirements:

Piece together a Veena.
Locate the Crimson Fairgrounds.
Defeat <<Demon King Ravana>>

Summary:

The evening culminated in a writhing flame of gold and red, dancing to a faint rhythm through the staging grounds. This zone had been carved out and forgotten, it seemed, for all other times of year; but in this moment, it was sacrosanct. Starlight dimmed overhead as the heat of lantern light swallowed the world, a tempestuous wind flirting with fire rather than dousing it. The faceless dancers twisted and entwined, but never seemed to look your way. Their minds were elsewhere, their attention already bought and paid for by another.

One woman, however, though similarly faceless, holds out both hands, cupped. She expected something from someone, though she lacked the voice to say who. Though this fairground was intended to be for those who stood victorious, those who sought wisdom, and those who would finally be free, it shared another purpose.

As you place the Veena in her waiting grasp, her fingers grasp at it with familiarity. The space where her eyes should have been ignited, deep, golden flame burning through the darkness. Etched there now were striking, even beautiful features that did not exist moments before.

“My Lord hath been expecting thou,” the voice came, though it lacked for all inflection and in fact, sounded androgynous. “He hath waited far too long.”

Outline:

To begin <<Ravana’s Reprise>> quest, players must assemble a Veena with the four different strings obtainable from the event quest <<Purusartha>>. This will take one player’s post action in the thread. This assembly may occur alongside the use of consumables. The strings will be consumed and removed from the player once this occurs.

Next, players must locate the Crimson Fairgrounds, a secret location within Aincrad that exists in light of the Diwali celebrations, discoverable on any floor. The Crimson Fairgrounds will be found on an LD10+ with modifiers. Once the location has been found, the party may engage <<Demon King Ravana>> in combat.

<<Demon King Ravana>>
An ancient evil now unfettered and unchained, yet merely a glimpse of its former glory. Cocky, stern and unstable, Demon King Ravana wields a demonic fire and multiple blades, carried by multiple disembodied arms that sprout from his back.

HP: 1400/1400 | MIT: 75 | DMG: 150 | ACC: 2

Abilities:

OF MANY ARMS | On his turn, <<Demon King Ravana>> ignores hate values, and will attack all players in the party by rolling against them individually.

TENFOLD ROAR | On a CD9+, <<Demon King Ravana>> applies [TEMPERED] to all players in the party. [TEMPERED] is a debuff that lasts for 2 turns and applies the following: -1 EVA, -2 ACC.

WARLORD | On a critical hit, <<Demon King Ravana>> applies both [BLEED: 24 DMG/2 turns] and [BURN: 28 DMG/2 turns] to his target. Ravana gains Phase on successful attacks against targets suffering from BLEED. Ravana also restores health equal to the amount of damage suffered by the party from BURN.

LIGHT OVER DARKNESS | <<Demon King Ravana>> may only fall below 1 HP if it suffers from a source of burn damage (Burn, Flame Thorns, Flame Aura, Hellstorm, TECH-G).

TIER LOCK | For the duration of the fight, all of the participants’ stats that scale with Tier are calculated as though they’re Tier 2. [DMG/MIT/BLEED enhancements etc.] This skill only locks downward. Those at Tier 1 will still have T1 stats.

Freyd · 2025-07-13T22:48:35Z

"Prudent and wise. Event-related content can be unpredictable. Thanks for letting us know immediately, Ren." Freyd was already passing around hot treats to warm their bellies before they entered the newly found gateway. "We found four of these sets. Presumably, each can be combined to open a similar portal. Everyone has teleport crystals? Good."

Glancing over his companions, Freyd was grateful for an unexpected reprieve from combat near the outskirts of Ilridge. They were holding, but gaining nothing. It was exhausting, and even the most stalwart required rotation away from the floor to keep their spirits from faltering.

"Ronbaru does enjoy its puzzles, doesn't it?" The knot remained, shimmering in Ren's hand, but he suspected it would cease to exist the moment they entered. At least everyone had been granted the opportunity to upgrade their gear. The squad was actually presentable now, nearly front line worthy. They just needed a bit more seasoning.

Jeeves · 2025-07-13T22:54:04Z

"Strong associations with blood and fire were found in the available texts, suggesting some sort of infernal realm, or potential devil/demon association. Given that these came from drop during Diwali, the nature of floor twenty-seven, and other miscellaneous corroborating evidence, some sort of infernal connection seems highly likely."

The other three men stood, stunned. Jeeves had actually participated in their pre-mission discussions. Normally, he just grunted and grimaced, keeping to himself and plotting the demise of some poor house pet - presumably. He wasn't the type to share.

"Look... they made me guild librarian for a reason, alright. I have contacts spread far and wide throughout the castle. And not just the stuffed shirts Ren likes to hang around. I mean real sources. These things are high profile. Whatever we find might also be worth a mint on the rumour market..."

Hi chuckle over that last point was less appreciated.

"Hmpff... hope that means my bow will still be useful. Shooting fire at things native to a fiery realm doesn't seem likely to be very effective."

"Not necessarily," Ren replied, eager to reassure. "Resistances remain a rarity, at least in most of the content we've encountered thus far. And your new weapon has a few other tricks on offering. I'm sure you'll be fine, Foyle."

The old man nodded with gratitude, nuances of gaming still largely eluding him. He kept trying to treat Aincrad like the real world and bumping into its more unusual conceits.

"Ah. Alrighty then. I'll trust your judgment on the matter. Once we're through, I'll take point and leave Freyd and Ren to carry the flanks and tag off on drawing any opponents we encounter." As a scout and archer, he'd spy what lay ahead, but Foyle's true worth was not strongest standing toe to toe with the enemy.

Freyd · 2025-07-13T23:02:19Z

"This was... not what I expected."

The same held true for the rest of them. Far from some fire and brimstone infested underground torture chamber, they passed through the portal to find themselves in a farm field like so many others they'd seen during their sojourn around Ronbaru. A grain of some sort, unfamiliar to him, but closely resembling wheat, grew all around them.

"So, where do we go now?" Freyd and Foyle exchanged glances, unsurprised that their academic friend had deciphered the initial puzzle, but struggled the moment he was actually in the thick of it. Ren was always better suited to book learning than field work.

"He has to learn somehow," Freyd offered quietly, to the older man's nodded agreement.

"I hear noises... like music... from that direction." Holding their collective breaths, the others confirmed the same.

"Nothing to it then."

Minutes later, the ground cleared the high stalks of the fields, emerging along the edges of a dilapidated fair ground with only one tent remaining, and a haughty-looking fellow glaring their way with a semblance of wannabe-boss vibes.

Ren's eyes were already captivated by the gaggle of undulating she-demons dancing around before them, the pack of them frolicking like infernal nymphs around the smoldering embers of a recently doused fire. One of them grabbed the veena from him in her passing, laugh turning more sinister as she tossed it into the pit, instantly restoring its flame.

"Way to go, chuckles." Jeeves shook his head, pulling down his goggles as the boss opened his eyes and drew his weapons before turning in their direction. "Well, you woke him up. Seems only fair you should also be first to mess him up, no?" It was about as close as you might hope to get a compliment or encouragement, so Ren took it in stride.

Already rounding the fire, he beat expectations and the mob's reflexes, sliding inside its defenses with a nasty slam to the gut.

"Alright smartass. I did the thing. So, now it's your turn."

"Yeah, yeah. Your fancy new hammer did all the work."

Without missing a breath, Jeeves lined up a short, threading the needle through the bonfire to stick their enemy with am infectious concoction to properly decimate it from the inside out. The dancing women strangely ignored their sudden melee, spreading themselves around the broader plaza and ringing the impromptu battlefield like a bunch of oni cheerleaders.

"Is this the Ravana dude they keep muttering about? Can't say he's been overly impressive so far." Chatting as he reloaded, the delicate windings of his wrist-activated miniature crossbow were fickle. Already drawn to the nearest passable cover, Jeeves would let the meat shields do their thing and snipe from safety, as was his wont. Where was the logic in standing toe to toe with baddies if other mooks were willing to do it for you? As personal philosophies went, it had worked for him so far.

Foyle · 2025-07-13T23:17:38Z

Spotting his captain rounding right, Foyle moved to flank from the left, hoping to find a clearer shot from Ren's far side. Unfortunately, the dancing demon-girls were making that challenging, and he was still concerned that they might turn on the party any instant.

Also, as impressive as Ren and Jeeves' first strikes had been, readily hampering their opponent, they seemed to lack their usual punch. Less optimal than his usual direct approach, the archer had found himself wondering whether the straightforward appeal of his shift choice might need to be reconsidered. Something for future deliberation. For now, they had a demon king to lay low.

Shot loosed, the arrow's black and red fletching found its mark, spreading the shattering effect of its imbued sword art to fracture Ravana's hidden defenses. Keening wails rising from the dancing girls nearly scared him out of his skin, convinced that he'd unintentionally triggered some second boss phase. Fortunately not, but at least the Whisper had used the distraction to move into position.

"Freyd! NOW!"

Freyd · 2025-07-13T23:22:14Z

Studying their opponent while the others battered it with their coordinated assaults, Freyd was watching for telltale systems signs. Blood and fire. Something about the way the boss' wounds were shaping led him to think there might be some added weight to the concepts. Unfortunately, none of them carried the right gear any longer to do much about bleed damage, but he and Foyle had access to fire. The archer had no luck on his more randomly triggered attack, preferring to crack the nut for the rest of them to break through instead.

"Guess that means I get to light the match." Charging towards Ravana from the far side of the bonfire, Freyd dipped his blade into the renewed flames and sprayed its ashen embers all over. Hacking and coughing, Ravana was just recovering from Ren's initial blow, but struggled to withstand the power of the very flame that seemed to have summoned him here in the first place.

Stepping back to protect himself from Freyd's gout of ash and fire, Ren rushed back in the moment a new opening presented itself. Seizing on his partners' initial successes, he found the weak points painted for his attention and hammered them hard. Ravana's burning form crackled and hissed as the frostborne nature of his own weapon delivered contrast and pain all at once. Blow after blow, the demon gave ground, roused from his initial stagger, but unable to capitalize of his renewed awareness.

"He's literally cracking. Hit him hard and we might have him." Every shatterpoint they inflicted seemed to call to the flames racing across Ravana's battered body, like they insidiously devastated some hidden defense the rest of them hadn't quite formally recognized yet.

Steeling the enemy's gaze on himself, Ren challenged the larger figure with the briefest of salutes swiftly turned into a barrage of body blows to keep him off balance.

"Oh, perfect." Scooting from his hidey hole, Jeeves dashed towards their beleaguered foe, unleashing his newest flechette round that ripped through the mobs avatar like a shotgun blast. Ravana's health bar was decimated, plummeting from a poorly performing yellow to unflattering red. Even his groupies on the perimeter looked worried.

"Yeah, ladies. Sorry to tell you, but I'd wager you backed the wrong horse. If you were waiting for some sort of second coming... heh... you may be out of luck."

A quick hand gesture made to Foyle was readily acknowledged. The tent was flammable, and the boss looking haggard, meaning movable. If they could knock him back into his own demesne, he might light the whole thing on fire and do the rest of them a favour by finishing himself off. Grabbing a nearby log, Jeeves tossed it as hard as he could, placing it just behind Ravana's current position. A perfect trip hazard, just waiting for someone to make him stumble into it.

A trio of shots in quick succession, each thunked heartily into the demon king's chest. His balance teetering, one final step back proved his literal downfall as he tripped over Jeeves' low-tech improvised trap. Fire-ridden, Ravana tumbled ass over tea kettle, bringing down his own tent in the process. Flames leapt from his scorched and broken shell, screams of anger and frustration unleashing impotent fury that only spread the flame faster.

Within seconds, the pavilion was gone and the demon king with it. The demon girls ceased their dancing, uncertain what more was expected of them, as if their programming had somehow neglected to consider this possibility.

"Go home, girls. There was never anything for you here in the first place. Even less so now."

One by one, they vanished in fluffy puffs of sulfur scented smoke and soot, the fairgrounds vanishing in a swirl of soot and screeching that left them all where this impromptu adventure had spontaneously started in the first place.
