RAID SPECIFICS AND REMINDERS

With this being the first raid we've done in a while-- and our first trial of our final iteration of raids-- we will have a few unique protocols in place to keep the fun going, as well as a few general reminders! Firstly, keep in mind this raid, like all raids, will last a maximum of 1 month! You are free to enter ketucari at any point in the raid. There is no signup deadline! Regardless of Guro’s health, the raid will last for at least one week. Since the raid boss has a set health this go around, there is a possibility that admins will adjust their health as needed. We will notify the group if so.

We are also launching starter leasing for raids!

REQUIREMENTS FOR LEASING STARTERS:

-Anyone with 3 or less "battle ready" ketucari may lease 1-2 starters to use in the raid.

- "Battle ready" means the ketucari has at least one battle skill, so if you have 4 uploaded ketucari but only two have battle skills, you will still qualify.

- To lease a starter you simply need to make a colored headshot or bust of the starter you wish to lease, or write 100+ words about them learning about the raid, wanting to help, etc, and link that piece when signing up for the raid. They will then join your team for the duration of the raid!

-When signing up for the raid please include a loadout of 4 skills for the starter you're using. These 4 skills must all be of the same attunement and should match the attunement listed on the starter's import.

-The skills chosen can be any 4 skills in the starter's attunement and these are the four skills the starter will be able to use in battle.

-Alternatively, a starter may be used as a medic instead of a fighter and in that case you will just list cauterize as their skill loadout.

-When submitting for prizes at the end of the raid starters will count as elder but will not earn titles.

-Starters are first come first serve and the same starter cannot be used by multiple people.

BOSS DETAILS

The boss we will be battling is the marvellous Guro! You can read more about him on his Pantheon page.

Guro, like all of Velukaelo's deities can shift size at will! They could be as big as a mountain, or as small as your ketucari! 50% of their form must be visible (This can be mostly tentacles if you like!) Guro’ Attacks If you need some inspiration, you may depict Guro using one of their special attacks against your ketucari! Guro is a Greheli user and often uses their magic to adjust the area around them.

Sandstorm - ‘Guro kicks up a massive sandstorm, blinding your ketucari. Their dexterity is lowered for the next 2 turns’ This *CAN* stack!

Constrict - Guro snatches your ketucari up in one tentacle. They miss their turn and take damage!

'Devour' - Guro's stomach opens up and tentacles surround you, trying to pull you in. Getting out will be tricky!

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR RAID ENCOUNTERS

• Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.

• Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari engaging in the battle. The boss should play a role in the story.

• Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading. The boss must be at least 50% visible.

• There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.

• To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Fighter or Raid- Medic prompts on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece.

• A seperate submission needs to be made for each ketucari in the piece and they will each need a form from below attached with their actions, as well as a link to both their DA import and Ketucari site import.

Submitting support entries:

• Each player may submit one support piece a day, and it must feature the same ketucari every time.

• If you have multiple supports entered you can swap which support(s) is used or include them all, but they must be the same ones listed when signing up.

• You must own the ketucari you use in the raid. No leasing is allowed.

• You are allowed to enter one support ketucari if you have fighters/medics already participating in the raid. If you have no fighters/medics, you may participate with up to four support ketucari.

• Support pieces can count as an adventure once the zone reopens as long as they meet adventure requirements.

• Raid pieces may not be commissioned.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY PIECES:

• Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.

• Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari gathering resources (gathering food, healing herbs, wood, etc.) to help with the battle.

• Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading.

• What your ketucari is doing is up to you! Are they collecting wood or herbs to assist the raid? Using magic to allow enhance or protect the fighters? Keep in mind however, that your ketucari should not be depicted battling the boss or healing the fighters (as that falls under fighter/medic participation), and it should be clear that your ketucari is supporting the raid. In other words, no showing off your magic in an empty field!

• There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.

To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Support prompt on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece. A seperate submission needs to be made for each ketucari in the piece and they will each need a link to both their DA import and ketucari.com import included.
