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.
