Basic Prophecy Ideas-OOM

chameno_koritsiSo the basic idea is that Thalia has discovered information about her future she doesn't like and finds herself unsure of what to do. Like any good Greek hero, she decides she needs to visit an Oracle and while it's likely that she could find one within Milliways, it'd be more fun if we can turn this into an adventure.
So she has discovered two books in the Library that suggest a way for her to find an Oracle and receive a Prophecy; the first, Monsters of Prophecy, details monsters whom have or were given the gift of Prophecy and the second, A History of the Labyrinth of Daedalus, suggests that monsters sometimes make temporary homes within the Labyrinth (click here to read more about the Labyrinth as it relates to Milliways). Thalia puts two and two together and decides to go searching within the Labyrinth for a monster that can give her a Prophecy of how to deal with Luke and maybe even save him.
The monster she will find in the Labyrinth will be the Lamia and whether she gets the Prophecy or not remains to be seen.
Also, just a warning, while the book A History of the Labyrinth of Daedalus has a fair bit of useful information, it also has a lot of incorrect and possibly deadly information and there is no way of knowing which is which until it is too late.
At this point the "party" members will be Thalia and Annabeth Chase but we are open to others joining if you are interested. I will update the list of heroes here as we get volunteers.
We would ask that power levels be close to human normal or Percy Jackson level demigod as we want to make sure the adventure is a challenge for Annabeth and Thalia. Additionally, combat is likely to favor the melee and not modern firearms as monsters within the Percy Jackson canon are immune to bullets and most human made weapons. They do have a vulnerability to mystic abilities and Celestial Bronze which we can hand wave as being found within the Labyrinth...the Celestial Bronze not mystic abilities.
Feel free to use this thread for any questions now or as we continue in the quest. I will be starting the pre-threading now for the quest and once we are done, I will put up a EP in which people can join the quest within Milliways. This way we can get started right away and take all the time we need without pups being missing from the bar. Even if your pup has not met Thalia feel free to join, we can always have them meet when Thalia gathers her supplies in the EP before I publish the quest.
The actual thread for the quest is here. Feel free to tag in when you can, we have no tagging order at this point. Also, I will be out of town next week and will attempt to tag as I can but realistically don't expect anything to really start happening until the first week in July.
Current Roster:
Thalia daughter of Zeus
Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena
Liz Sherman
Dinah Lance
Tavar of Alera
X-23

no subject
Date: 2010-06-23 05:10 pm (UTC)And it occurs to me that I am sure there are Greek Monster who could be a challenge for Liz if you wish. There no reason Lamia is the only one they come across...

Date: 2010-06-23 05:21 pm (UTC)I'll try to tag when I can, and I'd love a thread with Thalia or Annabeth before Liz gets recruited, as she's much more likely to volunteer for something like this if she knows one of them. :D

Date: 2010-06-23 05:25 pm (UTC)I'll see about getting Thalia an EP next Monday so she and Liz can finally meet. =]

Just, you know, a good fighter--though not as scary as he will be yet--something of a genius, and an accomplished lockpick.
Every party needs a good rogue, right? Is there a cleric yet?

Date: 2010-06-23 05:51 pm (UTC)(I would go with Wondy , because she and Thalia met, but I think she may possibly be on the wrong side of the 'too many powers' limit. If not, she is up for grabs, instead.)
no subject
Date: 2010-06-23 06:01 pm (UTC)X would be an interesting fit and I'd have to agree about Wondy. She'd be awesome but I'd worry she would be doing all the work. = ]
I will have to converse with the other PJ muns to decide what affect Adamantium will have on Greek monsters. I'd be tempted to have it harm them but not instantly vaporize them as Celestial Bronze does. Or it could hurt them but they can regenerate from the wounds. Normal metal don't have any affect on them as memory serves, only Celestial Bronze, but Adamantium isn't a normal metal.

Date: 2010-06-23 06:05 pm (UTC)As a corollary to that, X has sigils that fight against the demons/Them from Homeward Bounders-verse, serving to bind and destroy them. They are carved on her claws. I usually don't play them as working at all across universes unless other people want to, but I thought, since that is a Milliways development and not in her base Marvel power set, it'd be better to mention now rather than later.
Make of it what you will!

Somehow.

Date: 2010-06-23 06:16 pm (UTC)The demons are both, kind of. In their natural state they are incorporeal, but they possess people/animals/what have you, and you have to pin them in the bodies before you can kill both. One symbol pins them (or several symbols) and then marked weapons kill both the host body and the demon.
Them are just the noncorporeal bit, mostly, but it is fairly analogous to that situation. You have to pin Them down and 'real' before you can kill Them.

Date: 2010-06-23 06:19 pm (UTC)As to the sigils, we are going with them having no affect on monsters as they are very different from demons.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-23 06:23 pm (UTC)I also like the mental image of her keeping something busy and pained until someone with Celestial Bronze can come along and kill it!
Whee options!
