Task 5! This is it! The final task! Don’t back down! But before we begin with the task, let us introduce the 3 Elemental Beasts that are present throughout this task:
Vicerroth, Lord of Terror is the Fire Team’s monster. Its features are:* Huge size
- Red and covered in spikes
- Breathes fire
- Summons waves of magical fire
- Black demonic wings for flying
Aquadra is the Water Team’s monster. It’s a sea serpent! Its features are:* It’s black and has a silvery blue chest
- It has spikes down its back with a long shiny one at the head where it can shoot ice and control the weather
- It has long bat-like wings that can also function like fins when folded
- It’s around 150-200ft (45-60m) long
Floraiju is the Grass Team’s monster. And here is its bio:
[spoiler][center]
Credit to Wyvern for this depiction of the creature.
Name: Floraiju
Average height: 54’ 2" (16.51 m)
Average weight: 6.47 tons (5866.58 kg)
Habitat: Hawaiian tropical rainforests
Diet: Mostly other plant life, but is omnivorous[/center]
Once worshiped by native Hawaiians as peaceful, intelligent protectors of the islands, Floraiju were long thought to be creatures of primitive myths. However, as urban development in Hawaii continued, deforestation drove them out of hiding. Some of them have taken to venting their frustration at losing their habitats by destroying human cities, taking an eye for an cyclopean eye.
While not Godzilla-sized, 54’ 2" is a few stories high, so the destruction Floraiju leave in their wake is significant. The wing-like leaves protruding from their backs do not support their weight for flight but due to the nature of this task, it can magically fly somehow. Some have even picked up basic English in their interactions with humanity, although nobody has tried to communicate peacefully with one due to sheer fear.[/spoiler]
And with that, let’s begin!
Task 5: The Sky!
Enter the skies and take flight! Every LC has to have some kind of flying task! Oh also there are monsters, monsters everywhere. This week we also have some more team-exclusive subtasks, along with EXTRA TEAM TASKS, which function the same way as ULTRA and MEGA subtasks from Task 3.
Fly!—20 points: Flying! It’s a thing that lots of people like to do in lucid dreams! So take to the sky and end this LC on a high note… quite literally!
Propel yourself with fire—30 points: Flying with wings our through willpower alone is pretty cool, but let’s turn up the heat and fly through the sky with FIRE. Use your pyrokinetic abilities to shoot out fire with enough force to propel you through the sky! Or, if you’re lazy you can just use a jet pack.
Fire Exclusive Task: Defeat Vicerroth, Lord of Terror—50 points: It is time to confront the being that represents your element! If you want to be the true fire master, you must defeat the existing elemental beast! Only if you manage to defeat your beast will you gain the title of Fire Master!
EXTRA FIRE TASK: Defeat Aquadra—70 points + 3 subtask penalty: Sure, grass is weak to fire, but any old fire mage can attack grass. It takes a true master of their element to be able to challenge and defeat an opponent who has the upper hand! Defeat the Water Team’s elemental beast for tons of points and a 3 penalty to the water team!
Stand on a cloud—30 points: The sky is full of fluffy clouds! And clouds are made of water, despite what all our imaginations say about them. For this task, you need to be able to stand (or sit or lay down) on a cloud without phasing through. While you’re at it, try finding a few rainbows to slide down!
Water Exclusive Task: Tame or befriend Aquadra—50 points: It is time to confront the being that represents your element! If you want to be the true water master, you need to be able to tame your elemental beast! Or at least become friends with it. Having connections with such a powerful entity must make you worthy of the title of Water Master!
EXTRA WATER TASK: Defeat a Floraiju—70 points + 3 subtask penalty: Alright, so fire may be weak to water, but any old water bender can attack fire. It takes a true master of water to be able to challenge and defeat a mighty grass monster! Defeat the Grass Team’s elemental beast for tons of points and a 3 subtask penalty to the grass team! Watch out for dodgeballs and/or lasers!
Float through the air like a spore—30 points: Okay, so plants in general usually remain grounded. But spores and pollen can float through the air, and they’re plant things, right? For this subtask, float through the air like a spore! Whether you want to shrink down, or just become weightless at full size, as long as the wind guides your direction, you should be able to get points!
Grass Exclusive Task: Become a Floraiju—50 points: It is time to confront the being that represents your element! If you want to be a true grass master, you need to be able to transform into your elemental beast! Man… I’m getting kind of nostalgic for Lucidity Challenge 42, and I didn’t even participate! Anyway, being able to become such a powerful monster makes you worth of the title of Grass Master!
EXTRA GRASS TASK: Defeat Vicerroth, Lord of Terror—70 points + 3 subtask penalty: Yeah, water may be weak to grass, but any plant can just absorb water all day. It takes a true plant master to be able to challenge and defeat a mighty fire monster! Defeat the Fire Team’s elemental beast for tons of points and a 3 subtask penalty to the fire team!
Host Insert Bonus: Fly through an endless sky with Mew151—50 points: The last host insert subtask! For this task, I’ll be flying through an endless sky. Maybe you should join the club for some points? Just remember: The first rule of Flight Club is to always talk about Flight Club!
