FATE-Prism/DOMAIN - Brown.txt

This warbling gate is a golden ring with a brown magic wall, looking like a large cut of stone.

## After exiting the BROWN gate, 
Your visuals are immediately ensnared by the giant mountainous crags extending straight into the sky, some even with snowy peaks, all eventually wrapping around you in a valley-like formation.

Welcome to the **Mountain** domain! 

You also see a fairly large open space in the valley before you, occupied by a few dozen trees, a small isolated lake, and a large concrete building with a pair of stone benches in front of it, both of which are completely unoccupied.

*GO TO THE BUILDING*
When you look inside through the windows, it turns out to be a double purpose building. 

The left side is full of climbing gear for rent. Harnesses, ropes, hooks, helmets, pads, picks, etc. Theres also a kiosk in the back selling many of the same items, as well as trail mix, magic rings in a brown hue, and about six kinds of meat jerky, all of which is ran by a single koala man in a blue polo shirt, his nametag reading BUNJI.

(NOTICE ROLL) There is also a sign on the far side advertising something called a "Shredder backpack" for 50z

The right side is a large gym full of legitimately massive workout equipment, and bodybuilders of equal magnitude all working out together. There is one VERY muscular maned wolf woman walking around between them, spotting when necessary and handing out towels & water, her brown nametag reading Jekhyra.

*IF THEY TALK TO EITHER ONE*
- He will see you walk in the door, suddenly smiling wide. "Welcome, how can I help you?"
- She will sudden;y turn to your group hearing the door open, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. "Hello strangers, can I help you?"

The group will be told basic information about the domain being THE place to get rock solid muscle and consistent results
- The common ways would be either good old-fashioned working out, or doing some rigorous mountain climbing & hiking.

*IF THEY ASK ABOUT THE BACKPACK*
The koala/maned wolf smiles a little, (dives down behind the counter/walks into the back for a sec), and pops back out with a 3 foot long 2 foot wide backpack that looks like it's made out of stone-like scales, but they feel like rough fingernails to the touch. Even stranger, in addition to the basic shoulder straps, there's a pair of thick woven strap sets that can be tightened with fabric-like ratchets, wide enough to stick an arm through it like a strapdown shield. 

*IF THEY ASK ABOUT THE DM/REGALIA*
"That it would be Tlaloc, he lives on the peak of the practice mountain. You can usually hear him when he's awake, but since noone has heard the glorious sounds of rocks against rocks, he's likely still asleep."

- If they spoke to BUNJI, he will call for Jekhyra to come over
- If they spoke to Jekhyra, she will toss a towel around her neck and walk to Bunji

BUNJI: Afternoon Jekhyra, (I overheard / not sure if you heard), we have some people wanting to see Tlaloc
JEKHYRA: Yep, gonna be a fun day. Gonna need gear for (party size +1) looks like.

BUNJI: Not a problem, and at 25z a head, that'll come out to... uh... before I do that, you all CAN afford the equipment rental, yes?
JEKHYRA: Shiiit, forgot to mention that. You wanna head up, you gotta get equipment. Helmets, hooks, ropes, backpacks, all that shit.

Anyone that can afford the climb comes with, the rest can stay at the building and shop around or work out

The mountain in question already has an indicated entryway, at which she will connect a rope between each of those going up with her in-line before attaching it to herself. She grabs the rope and looks back to your group. "Everybody ready?" Once everyone confirms they are ready to begin, she will begin the climb with them all in tow.

The climb will take place over the span of an hour, and a total of three times, there will be an ATHLETICS roll made to take DMG from stumbling or making mistakes, as unskilled climbers.

At the top of the mountain is a relatively uneven and rocky circle of about 200 feet in width, basically making this a hilltop mountain. As your group climbs up onto the top, Jekhyra unhooks each of you from the rope, letting you all walk around and enjoy the view. And the view is spectacular even from this low of a climb, as you have a much better view of those spectacular and significantly bigger mountains, only barely obscured by the few small boulders around you. Until one of the large boulders begins to move entirely on its own.

(ATHLETICS roll) Someone loses their footing thanks to the loose rocks from the uneven crag and falls over the cliffside, careening down into the distance. But before anyone does anything, a massive SOMETHING whizzes right down in the same direction at breakneck speed. 
 
The falling character comes face to face with a large brown creature that grabs them in its massive arms, curls tightly around them to flip itself forward, and SLAMS into the ground full force, leaving a small crater upon landing with its two massive yet stubby legs 
 
The creature slowly lets the fallen person down onto their own two feet, revealing the thick muscular arms under all those spiny armor spikes. You realize you are being stared down by a seven foot tall AND wide pangolin. And the only thing he is wearing is an awkwardly designed loincloth.

The massive creature peers down at the character and in a halting and slow manner, manages to form a few simple words in a deep, toungue-heavy voice. "YOU? OKAY? HURT?" 
 
Once they confirm they are okay, the creature nods, turns around, and jams its claws into the rock face, suddenly climbing its way back up the mountain face like it's nothing.

*IF ANYONE STAYED BEHIND*
You've either been getting hassled by the gym bros into joining them for a workout, or mulling around the equipment store looking over the gear. When that massive pangolin lands outside the building, literally everything and everyone stops, watching the creature set your teammate down, and climb up the wall like some scaley spidermonkey. Everyone suddenly runs outside and checks in with your teammate, making sure they're okay.

*AT THE TOP OF THE CLIFFSIDE*
About five minutes has passed since you watched your companion fall down into the distance, Jekhyra keeping you all from doing anything reckless. Instead, she regales you with tales of her spelunking in the mountains' various caves, rope bridging to help speed the process of crossing more dangerous ones, and even the time she paraglided from this mountainside... right into the lake.

You all begin to hear rumbling and spot a massive brown scaly creature climbing up the rock walls with its large talons, and it is approaching FAST. (NOTICE ROLL) And YOU recognize it as the thing that dove after your friend moments after they fell.

Upon reaching the top, the creature helps itself up onto the flat surface and kinda just stands there for a second, before waving at you all and contorting its hands around as it speaks haltingly. "FRIEND. OKAY. RIDE? DOWN?" He then turns around and points to his back, offering to escort you down.

*IF ANYONE ASKS OR OBJECTS*
Jekhyra will step forward and stand beside the creature. "You got nothing to worry about. Tlaloc here's the Domain Master and an expert mountain climber." She will pat him on the shoulder before stepping away. "I'm going down the long way, so you can either go with me, or with him."

*EITHER WAY*
It only takes a few minutes before Tlaloc makes it to the ground, and when he touches down, he kneels down to let you all off his back. He just smiles as best he can while he watches your group climb down off him and reunite with your fallen teammate. After you all have caught up, he points to the building Jekhyra pointed out and waves for you to follow him.

Once inside, he takes you through the gym area to a room in the back of the gym itself, and tosses you each a bottle of ice cold water. He himself grabs one as well and simply holds it over his head, poking a hole with one talon and guzzling the water as it streams out in only a few seconds. After he finishes, he clears his throat as best he can and points at your group, then the floor, then the mountain. "YOU. VISIT. WHY?"
 
*IF THEY MENTION DM / REGALIA*
Tlaloc suddenly stands up and begins laughing excitedly like a small child, in a deep unsettling tone. Everyone slowly puts down their equipment and starts asking what is going on and what has him so giddy.

*IF THEY ANSWER*
All the gum bros start getting excited, chanting and hollering about the chance to see Tlaloc the Immovable in action. Around this time, Jekhyra finally bursts in, having known a few slightly more dangerous shortcuts for going DOWN the mountain, and reuniting the group with anyone that wasn't there yet. She sees the commotion and wants to know what's going on.

*IF THEY ANSWER*
Jekhyra will widen her eyes, and step up to Tlaloc, temming him to step outside for a minute. He will giddily do so, running through the gym and barely noticing himself running into several freely sitting around weights. When he gets outside the door, he will start doing stretches in preparation.

Jekhyra will stare at your group in disbelief. "Okay I'm going to assume you are all insane to actually WANT to take on THAT." She will pause as Tlaloc picks up one of the stone benches in each hand, using them like free weights, each rep further exposing the massive muscles hidden under all those thick rock-like spikes. Tlaloc will suddenly turn toward the gate, putting down the benches as a new group of people come into the domain. You watch him waddle toward them like an overweight excited toddler, leaving footprints in the ground with every step of his hyper muscular yet short and stubby legs.

*GIVE THEM A MOMENT TO THINK IT OVER*
You hear a loud thud and see that Tlaloc is suddenly on the ground, bellowing out in pain. You see the group of peoples' attention is now turned toward you. And yes, it is very obvious now they are Marauders.

Every gym bro is suddenly VERY agitated, and you hear about twenty sets of knuckles and necks cracking as they all head for the door. A furious Jekhyra is clearly resisting the urge to go with. "I... want you to go... help 'greet' our new 'guests'... while I go help Tlaloc... think you can help me do that?" Her heckles are raised, her eyes are sharp, and she is practically snarling.

Outside, the gym bros are actively knocking the snot out of most of the weaker people, but several of them are managing to hold onto their own thanks to some very strange looking golden blades. In the center though, there appears to be a group of leaders just hanging out and watching their men get beaten up three to one. They see your group coming while Jekhyra swings wide to go for Tlaloc and get him away from the battlefield.

*AFTER THE FIGHT*

Every one of the fifty or so Marauders lie in a heap on the ground, very battered and bruised. All the gum bros are hooting and hollering, high fiving and shaking hands with your group, acting like you were one of them all along. A couple of them look like they took some solid hits,, but they just start bandaging themselves up like it was nothing at all. The good times are suddenly interrupted when you hear Tlaloc bellowing from the stone bench behind you.

He is actually sniffling like a child that just learned he wasn't immortal, Jekhyra tending to a massive gash going down his chest diagonally. There doesn't appear to be any blood thankfully, since even THAT skin is incredibly dense, but there IS traces of gold dust trickling out of the cut. Jekhyra doesn't appear to have any bandages that can stick to the wound, so instead she is just pouring water to clean the gold out of it. Which appears to work, because he starts to calm down right quick after, but still seems woozy.

"Okay so... goes without saying, no challenge today. Whatever they hit him with, hit him HARD." All the gym bros seem sad to hear their big friend won't get to stomp your shit in, and she continues, "Buuut... give him a couple days for this to heal up and he'll likely be good to go."

She will help Tlaloc up and support him on her shoulder, slowly walking a few steps with him in tow, before he suddenly falls over onto the ground with a dull thud. He has just fallen asleep again. And this time, Jekhyra is trapped under the wight of his massive arm, which everyone points and laughs at.
