[Serraph Quarrere]

Name: A Librarian's Chains
Participants: Serraph and Perhaps four+, Enemies of the Espada are granted here under secrecy and a temporary flag of truce. All classes are welcome, though 3-1 are preferrable
Location:  Starts at Serraph's Palace, Lexicon, at the Grand Library's "Public" Opening, Los Noches, Hueco Mundo


Difficulty Level:  Hard

Setting: DE

Plotline: [Insert Here] - Serraph Quarrere, current Sexta Espada and self-proclaimed Lord Librarian of Los Noches has opened his palace, the Grand Library to the public! All non-enemies of the Espada are invited to attend. Take part in this glorious collection of texts and artifacts and be served by one of thousands of indentured, human servants, collected and preserved from across time. Comprised of one hundred levels and one hundred sublevels, there is much to see within this vast vault.

 Serraph has only a few rules to his establishment:
        #1: No damaging his possessions. This includes the library itself and his servants. Everything on display was liberated or preserved from the human world and there are a few rare items among this collection. Devouring his butlers will not be tolerated.

        #2: Take the fights outside: This library is a place of learning, conversation, and contemplation, not petty squables and flexing contests. Leave your violent tendencies at the door.

        #3: Equivelent Exchange: You may borrow what you like, but you must contribute to the collection with something equal

Unknown to the Host, the small, ancient devices bending these humans to his will have begun to malfunction and become inert. Whispers of dissention and uprising has spread. Serraph's personal History stirs again to knock Serraph from the Sexta's seat. What will he do when all he knows is burning?

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}
Do you remember when, when the Espada rend your world asunder?
1970 and the Reapers turned away
From the underground rose a hope of freedom as a whisper
Palace in despair, but they never lost their faith
Women, men and children fight
They were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the halls
Was a sacrifice willingly paid
Lexicon, palace at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
1970 help that never came
Calling Lexicon, palace at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you, 'Fight Lexicon!'

Spirit, soul, and heart
In accordance with the old traditions
2022, still the reapers turn away
Conspiring hall to hall
In a time of hope and desperation
They'll do it on their own and they'll never lose their faith
Women, men, and children will fight
They will die side by side
And the blood they'll shed upon the floor
Is a sacrifice willingly paid
Lexicon, Palace at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
2022 help that never came
Calling Lexicon, palace at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you, 'Fight, Lexicon!'

All the lamplights, in the quarters
Broken many years ago
Break the celebration, hide in shadows
Lexicon, it's time to rise now
All the lamplights in the berthing
Broken many years ago
Break the opening, hide in shadows
Lexicon, it's time to rise now!

Lexicon, palace at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
2022 help that never came
Calling Lexicon palace at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you, 'Fight Lexicon'

-Join the Uprising!"

Starts: Soonish. I need to make encounters and organize plot events and stuff

Special Conditions:

 #1: Weapon Pickups!: As a Library of untold proportions, it is very possible to find weapons, armor, an items along the many floors of Lexicon. Though usually mondane, those of class 3-1 may not have use for them, all participates may choose to pick up weapons they may find by searching for them whether by choosing to Loot! (Example: writing a note at the end of the post along the lines of "Serraph chooses to loot, searching for Swords", increasing the chance he might find a sword to equip). a person may choose to loot every three of their posts. Additionally, one may search the bodies of the fallen to loot them, if they so choose. Furthermore, class restrictions on the wieldability of these items are waived during this adventure!
