The time has come! The Battle of Main Street (Take 1) is about to begin! To recap: Hades, Lord of the Dead, sent some brave Apprentices off into the swamps of the Bewitched Bayou on a special mission. They were to recover a simple book and candle from a worn and torn old cottage deep, deep in the swamp. Once recovered, the book was stowed away and Hades summoned two of the Kingdom Spirits, The Dreamfinder and Figment, to the Main Street Opera House.
The Dreamfinder was tricked into lighting the candle, which summoned three remnants of both Hades and The Magic Kingdoms’ past: The Sanderson Sisters, Winifred, Mary and Sarah.
Winifred quickly captures the Lord of the Dead and creates a plan to take over Main Street. The sisters part and Merlin and The Dreamfinder are also captured. With such powerful magic at their command, the three sisters began to terrorize Main Street U.S.A.
A few days later, the Apprentice rise up and begin to train for an unavoidable battle to save, not only Main Street and the Magic mentors but also the very Kingdom itself!
That battle, has now arrived. Bring Popcorn.
ICly, the entire battle will take place on October 25th beginning at sunset and last through until the dawn of the 26th. At this point, if the NPCs have been rescued, a true spectacle of Magic and Imagination will occur and Main Street will be restored from the darkness that has overtaken it.
The Battle will be divided into, essentially, 3 parts. The first log will be for those facing the Sisters. There will be three top-levels with in this log, one for each sister. This is the most dangerous part of the battle as the Sisters will not hold back and characters more than likely will be injured. However, the NPCs have regained consciousness and will be fighting to regain control of their powers.
The second log will be for fighting on the streets. In hopes of distracting the Apprentices, The Sandersons have unleashed various monsters across Main Street. These are not corroded and can be defeated with hand to hand combat as well as Imagination magic. There will be 3 monster varieties each with unique powers, weaknesses and areas they are drawn to. All of Main Street will be under attack, but the Penny Arcade will not be accessible to anyone save those fighting Sarah.
Battle Monsters
Malicious Mirrors: Created by Winifred, these creatures take on a distorted and often reversed appearance of their opponents. While not having their own attacks, they have a high defense and can reflect magic attacks back at the opponent. When defeated, they break into pieces before vanishing. If an opponent is too close when the Broken Mirror is defeated, they will get cut by glass shards.
Sinister Shadows: Created by Mary, these creatures are incorporeal and can not be harmed or do any damage unless they take possession of an object. When they take possession of that object, it will become sentient and grow three times in size. These creatures are mostly physical hitters and can pack quite a punch, but their defense is determined by what they possess. Typically they will possess large objects such as bookcases, statues, weapons or mannequins. Break the objects to defeat them.
Baleful Banshees: Created by Sarah, these creatures are wraith like and hide out in the open. They attack by screaming loudly, which can stun an opponent long enough for the Banshees to charge forward and directly attack with long, razor sharp claws. The scream attacks can also shatter glass or send an opponent flying if they are close enough (usually 3-4 feet away). They have an average defense but are very quick. Three direct hits will kill them, which dissolve their bodies with one last, weaker, scream.
The final part is the Opt Out Option. This is for those who do not wish to participate or are unable to due to hiatus or being out of time during the days of the logs. The opt out missions are off camera rescue missions or working the medical tent and evacuation centers.
Rescue Missions: The Sister have cast a spell to bring all of the NPC children towards the castle. Your characters can earn 1 spark by volunteering to rescue these children and take them to the safety of the Main Street Firehouse. These can be hand waved, summarized in this post or made separate top levels within the Battle Log.
Medical Tent: Characters and NPCs will be injured. None of the injuries will require magic healing, but there will be a need to help the doctors and nurses in the infirmary set bones, stitch up cuts, clean wounds and keep Characters from running back into the battle. There will be a Medical Log for battle aftermath where you may post if you wish. You can also simply summarize here.
Evacuation Centers: There will be two, one in the Emporium and another at Griffin’s Wharf. These are where heavy injuries will be treated before NPCs or Characters are taken to the infirmary. This is also where Apprentices may be if they wish to be healing during the battle. This option is summary only, unless you wish to have your character (with permission) join an existing thread to help heal an injured Apprentice.
The logs will go up ASAP! Use this post to plot (or link plotting plurks in) and I will link the logs here once they are up.
Good luck, Apprentices!

Brisby - Now that I have a better idea where she would stand powerwise I think she will be helping out in the battle. Like Two she might not actually be fighting but she might be able to practice a little field healing before people are escorted to the Med Tent and Evac Centers.
