Challenge "We are Maikendo, you cannot beat us!"

5
Requires Seasoned
The power to create an environmental hazard.
Used by Maze, Created by Ricterx.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. During activation, it is obvious the environmental effect is issuing forth from you. You must actively and obviously be using Rangers Cloak.)

Maze's challenge manifests itself in a simple game of navigating an area, embodying an explorer who wants players to get past the conditions in the region and make it out safely. The true challenge is the entire forest is against them, and they must get out before the rabbits, the plant life, or any other factors make that goal impossible.

-------------

Maze summons a region of flowers, creatures, and undergrowth around the area and brings his world wherever he is, which looks like a cell-shaded forest. In this zone, a number of things occur:

+ A dense undergrowth of vines and shrubs seems to blanket the forest floor, while those in the sky are accosted by small dragons that would actively slow down anyone they see. Doing so at the behest of their father; Maze, who hatched them.

+ A number of bunnies with red scarves lurk around and hassle anyone who is foreign to the location with harmless traps in an effort to exhaust them. Selectively trained by Maze, they were taken in at the behest of his friend Shimizu Tsukihi.

+ Drifting on the wind is a toxic pollen that induces an almost drunken intoxication, similar to drinking a heavy amount of alcohol. Causing dizziness, mental sedation, and limited inhibitions. Coming from a flower he's grown himself.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 200 feet of you. Choose a 3-D shape that will define the borders of your Effect. This Effect cannot be used unless Atlas is active. You must actively and obviously use Rangers Cloak to activate this Effect.

You create a zone of forest undergrowth, shrubs, and plant spores in the chosen shape, originating at the chosen Location, with a radius of 200 feet. and lasting for 5 minutes. You are fully immune to the effects of your zone. The area inside your zone is affected in any number of the following ways:

  • Danger Zone: The zone contains rabbits with red scarfs that harass those inside the zone with the goal of exhausting invaders. The area is extremely inhospitable. At the end of each Round, everyone in the zone must roll for Acute Exposure.
  • Overwhelming: Anyone inside the zone cannot Exert their Mind, and Mind rolls made within the zone are at -2 dice.
  • Slippery: All movement distances are halved within the zone. Anyone who wishes to move further than their Free Movement within a Round must roll Dexterity + Athletics. If they fail, their movement is limited to their Free Movement and they fall down.
The zone expands immediately to its full size from the chosen Location, but will be stopped from spreading in a particular direction by any barriers or cover, and can only fit through openings large enough to fit a grown adult. If a new opening appears while the Effect is still active, it will finish spreading in that direction.

You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.

  • Affected targets may still spend Source.
  • If you select a location at the edge of your range, you will be just outside the zone once the Effect is activated
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

This Effect cannot be used unless there is a corpse in its initial radius. Choose a type of being that could trigger the trap.
