| Name:A Day of Illusionists Torments Rank: S Custom Or generic: Generic Participants: Chunin Team, Jounin, Jounin Team, Special Forces, Kage Objective Primary:Travel to the hermit lady and partake upon her quest through a hell crafted in your mind by her genjutsu and see how far you can get through the nine circles (levels). Secondary:Pass through the ninth and final circle, exiting the genjutsu of your own accord. Description: In the midst of Rice Field country sits a wooden shack with a moss covered roof which slants both east and west, the door facing south. The floor is raised about two feet off of the ground and has a porch with a swing on it with steps leading up to it. Inside you will find an old hag who rarely moves except to eat who she has messenger boys fetch the food for such times. She will be resting on a mat in front of a fire place and before her will be three mats. She is an old defect from a Zenjin monastery, though this is secret and unknown to most. She still carries out her duty of judgment via issuing this quest which monetary rewards is actually funded by the villages the shinobi come from themselves, often a test to try the mettle of their higher ranked shinobi. Damiyo have even been known to send the Kage of their nations main village to do this mission as well. When you arrive at the hermits house you will enter and kneel upon the mat, signifying you wish to partake her test. She is blind and the four mats in the room are connected by chakra which will alert her of your presence. She will explain the rules as follows verbatim as she has rehearsed several times. "You are about to be sent into a true hell beyond the likes a human mind can fathom. This is not for the faint of heart, but there is no turning back now that you have knelt. Let your soul wander down this journey and prey it does not burn to crisp in the fires of judgment. Good luck." Having sat down upon the mat, you will have already activated the trigger for the genjutsu and it is timed that exactly five seconds after the word luck has been uttered, you will be blast into a full blown S ranked illusion of the most potent nature. You will have to pass through the following ten stages and nine circles of a hell fashioned from the hags imagination in order to pass the quest and hold on to your life. The genjutsu will end and you will be completely exhausted, depleted of over half your chakra if you fail to pass any of the doors or progress for any reason/fail a test. You will be sent back to the village where your kage will deal with you in a very hefty way, as failure is highly unacceptable in this mission as it is as much about integrity as it is about the mission itself. The journey will be as follows. *Note* The following is not known before hand by the participant of the mission but is put here so you know what to RP. It has been put in spoiler tags so you can reveal each one on a need to know basis for yourself and we trust that you will do the right thing and not metagame. Any metagaming that is seen will null the entire mission and become a big waste of everyones time. Especially yours. Entering:- Spoiler:
When the illusion begins, All party members will find themselves standing on a red dirt path which has many rows of dead trees with no leaves on either side, all a dark black color in contrast to the natural pearl white of a dead tree. The sky will all be a rich red with a setting sun almost completely out of site that does not move from its position in front of you. As you walk down the path, eventually hands will begin to pop up from the ground below your feet attempting to grab your ankles. Should they succeed they will attempt to pull you down. They are not very strong, however they will begin to increase in their number and if enough grab ahold of you, you could be done for if you are careless. Eventually there will be so many that the whole ground gives way. When this happens you will have to stay above the ground for few more minutes as the hands fall before faling yourself.
Circle One: Limbo- Spoiler:
The arms will have completely disappeared if you managed to avoid being ensnared in the entrance, and after you have fallen about fifty feet in darkness, you will find yourself inexplicably standing on a very fine, thin, gray gravel made of the tiniest pebbles less then a millimeter in diameter. There will be random gray stones that are scattered through out of various sizes. In addition there will be a flurry of gray ash falling from the unseen sky for no apparent reason and from an unknown source that will not cease. Here, e ranked demons will emerge in the form of babies with knife blades for arms. They will crawl on all fours almost looking crab like. They will still be quite cute, and will play on the human emotion of protection of the supposed innocent and are meant to spark sympathy from the party. You must over come these notions and continue through this circle of the hell in order to continue on as well as learn from the following moral. "Those that pity the wicked and buy into their lies are just as guilty of the sins who committed them." Eventually you will come across a tall golden doors that can only be opened when the party has a true desire to separate themselves from the wicked who give the air of being pure yet hint constantly at their wicked hearts.
Circle Two: Lust- Spoiler:
The realm of lust is deadly to any shinobi of either gender. It is possibly the most difficult to pass on a control level. This realm will be entered after passing through the golden doors which will lead to a giant clear and open cavern that is made of a rich red that was the same coloration as the entrance path to circle one in the beginning of the illusion. In the center will be a red and gold mix tower that goes to the top of the Cavern. You must enter, and inside will be several naked woman, each trying to seduce all who enter, their allure will even work on women, eventually. The seductresses will not be powerful at first, but their are five levels of this. By the fifth level it will be entirely entirely impossible and by this time the genjutsu will have triggered the brains sex hormones gearing the body to engage in animalisitic desires, yes even women The fifth level will have a ladder which leads up and into the third circle through a hole big enough to fit one person at a time. The lesson of the second circle is as follows: "The primitive natures of the mind, with out the proper focus, can deter any one persons path and cause them to succumb to lesser means and ends and such are the vile, wicked, and weak of heart."
Circle Three: Gluttony- Spoiler:
Gluttony is the act over indulgence, especially in food to the point of obesity and unhealthy habits. Such as displayed by the guardian of this circle. It is a giant, fat blob that is about as tall as a building and as wide around as a house as well. Towards the center top and to the front will be three large tentacle shaped things that come out an endless number of feet taht can stretch almost endlessly. They each have a sucker like mouth at the end and are about 5 meters in diameter. They will try to suck you up and into the beast which will eventually happen as the beast can survive and instantly heal any outside wound, making it seem indestructible. Each tentacle mouth leads to the same spot. The group will then be attacked from all angles at increasingly fast rates by several thick and long tongues that lash out and try to wrap around the victim and pull you toward the walls which secrete digestive acids that burn the flesh, Once you are caught you will be integrated into the wall partially and no escapes is possible. IN the center connected to the top and bottom by string pink material, and seeming to float in the air is a large black heart. You must cause a great infliction on this which will stop the healing ability of the great fiend and allow you to tunnel through the "floor" revealing the way to the fourth circle of hell which is a pit as wide in diameter as the beast that had been on top of it that goes about 68 feet down and has large chains that stretch from side to side in a slanted fashion. Using these is the only way to get down effectively.The lesson here "Overindulgence will cause the world to overindulge on your own riches and so the options of give and take must always be weighted. The more you take, in the end you will give ten fold and then some."
Fourth Circle: Greed- Spoiler:
This circle has two guardians. The first you will find sitting at a desk at the bottom of the pit which will just be a chamber with a man in a suit and top hat sitting at a desk with cards and dice and coins upon his desk. Behind him will sit a door. You will approach him and the man will wager you a bet. You may refuse in which you will not be granted passage. However if you do partake on it, the bet will be your souls against whatever your heart desires at the time. The man will flip a coin seven times, you having tails and he heads. The trick is that its a two sided coin and you will have to trick the man into some how winning. Should you win you must have your heart set on completing the mission and continuing on, otherwise you will be given your other wish and no passage will ever be granted. Upon entering the true fourth circle you will see mountains of gold and jewels which form a circle around a brown dirct area on the other side of which is a path to another, black door, but before that will be a man covered in jewels and gold chains with loose shorts, no shirt, and holding a large golden cross with blades all around it on each side. You will have to defeat him in order to gain passage. He will be B ranked with the ability to manipulate the treasures around you so be careful. The lesson here is "The search for wealth leads you stuck and on a secretly non progressive path. Only those who do not seek material gain may advance in their souls and as people."
Fifth Circle: Anger- Spoiler:
Here you will be standing on a ledge. Looking out you will see a thick sludge like material with several faces bodies squirming about and jumping up slightly only to be pulled back down by the sludge. Just off the balcony, you will see a pillar with a platform upon it. Around the platform will be spikes with several feet of space between each. After steeping on the ten foot in diameter platform, it will begin moving towards the balcony with another black door on the other side. As it moves, the bodies from below will begin shouting obscenities at you and crawl up the platform in waves. They will be very passionate and come very quickly but the platform will be moving slowly. This is to test your own patience as they are not very strong, but strong enough to be annoying and can ignore lesser wounds and even a few greater ones, though they have no skill other then abnormal strength and speed. Their goal is to pull you down in with them. After reaching the other side which will take about ten minutes, you may pass through the door so long as you are not frustrated. However if you are upset, the non-opening door no matter what will probably cause further headache and further infuriate the individual. You also only have 13 minutes from having entered the other door to exit this one before the door will be locked regardless and no passage will be granted no matter what. The lesson is "Anger causes a roadblock in the path of progression, and no movement forward can be made with the heat of rage in your heart."
Sixth Circle: Betrayal- Spoiler:
This circle is a rather simple one, only holding a wide hallway to another black door and in between you and it with torches lining the way for light, stands a minotaur at the height of three man. This is a beast that looks like a cow or bull but stands and has man features of a man I.E. the ability to speak and hands instead of hooves. He will have a gold ring in his nose, blueish fur, and a large black mace. The minotaur is bound by certain rules that can prove problematic. Put simply, he can not be harmed burned paralyzed or anything else. he is also quite fast, agile and strong. This being said he is quite difficult to get around and just trying to rush past him will do no good.. However, he can only focus on one person at a time. You must either find a creative way through and around him (underground not and option), and he can not be bound by any means. Nor poisoned nor put to sleep nor afflicted by genjutsu. He is immune to all damage and affliction. You can also just leave one person behind and have two more progress, however, you can not open the door with out your whole party unless one of you has "died." The lesson here is " The other side may offer seemingly greater rewards, but is it truly worth severing old ties for?"
Seventh Circle: Violence- Spoiler:
After opening the door you will find yourself on a balcony that goes around the cavern in a perfect circle. On the side opposite of you are two staircases that meeting the middle right by another black door. Above this in large lettering is graved into the wall the words "THOU SHALT NOT KILL." The way on the balcony is blocked by several shinobi of ranks varying from C-A. You can either plow through them or drop the central slab below the balcony about 50 feet down. However, keep in mind that the side of the walls are resistant to chakra and the tree climbing/water walking skills will not work here. Also the door will not open if any of the shinobi blocking the path are killed to get to it. The lesson "Work with the mind, not the hand and you will go much further then you had expected."
Eighth Circle: Fraud- Spoiler:
When entering the room, the shinobi will all see three thrones upon each will be chained three copies of the same person, a person that they all three would have known in some way or another, through history or otherwise. They will look very pale and thin and quite dehydrated. In the center is a short pillar about three feet tall with a bowl of water in the center of it and a golden cup on the side. They will all have the same look and voice and personality and memories, but only one will be "real" and you must figure out each one. Hint here, the liars will begin to unravel if you can confuse them.  . After figuring out which one is the real one you take the cup, put some water in it and take it to the real copy. The thrones walls and thrones will suddenly spin around with the door in front of you, which will open giving way to complete darkness. Step out of it and prepare for the final round and circle of hell.
Ninth Circle: Death- Spoiler:
After standing or walking in the dark for a few moments, you will see a beacon of white lite below you which will slowly get larger and large at an extremely fast rate. Eventually you will be standing on a sheet of ice about thirty meters in diameter with walls of ice and no ceiling, the walls going to high to see. Ih the middle will be a man in a tight black cloak whose features will be unseen. He will be an S ranked ice ninja (see the koori clan for jutsu) You must defeat him to exit this place. Simple as that. The previous circles simply to test how smart you were and how well you could prepare dealing with trial after trial and knowing there was more to come. Once it is over the genjutsu will end and if you won you will be sent back to the village where you will collect your reward from your kage.
