#bernard the gatekeeper

[junoscrybeofshadows]

She had warned him not to wander too far from the glades, but Dagmar had always been far too testy for his own good. Always looking for the new, for the exciting, and for the dangerous. Not that he was ever any good at danger, but he was good at protecting his friends. Maybe that’s why when he woke up in the valley alone, he felt more mortified than anything. No one to protect here other than himself.

Standing and gripping his shorts quietly, the boy began to walk along the grass with his pale bare feet, biting his lip as he stared into the sky full of stars. Not long after this did his eyes traverse to a small path at the side, his ears picking up on the sound of laughter and the chitter of dogs. He had always liked dogs, Dagmar noted as he nearly tripped over himself, walking forwards quietly. His eyes seemed slightly glossy as his heart pounded in his chest, wondering where he was, how he had gotten there.

Approaching the onyx gates to pear between the bars, the silver haired boy let his own sapphire eyes stare at the surrounding areas, clenching his jaw slightly in irritation and anxiety before slowly swallowing and calling out.

“He-… Hello?”

@/scrybeofchance -Haya

The sound of hearty laughter and canine barks grow louder and louder the closer Dagmar steps closer to the gate. The laughter becomes clearer to the ear as he spots the owner of the laugh through the gate's bars. It was a man standing almost as tall as the hedges that lined either side of the gate and cladded in silver and gold armor, his face made of a shadowy matter outlined with red line that make out his features. Despite laughing however he has no mouth to speak of that does little to keep him from laughing as he pets a Hound pup on it's head.

The pup has a bandage wrapped around its left front paw, a bandaged Dagmar remembers wrapping around it before chasing after the dog!

Hearing him call out however the man's laughter slowly comes to a halt, his body turning till his lone crimson eye catches glimpse of boy behind the gate and for a moment one could see his face twist into a confused look as he kneels down to be at eye level with the lad

"Greetings young one," He says his voice rough and semi hoarse most likely caused by his laughter, but he tries his best to sound as friendly as he could as he introduces himself. "I am Bernard the Gatekeeper, a gatekeeper who's surprised that you ended up on that side of the gate..Perhaps Lady Juno gave you one of her transportation marbles Hmm..Might I ask what your name is my boy?"

does juno only have one eye? - 8 anon

"Hm? No I have two, my left eye is simply covered by my hair..however I do my best to keep it covered..because..well"

"The scars and the glitches are relatively easy to hide with my shadow manipulation abilities so no one sees them regardless.. but...I prefer to be safe than sorry...I don't..want the others to worry about it... But No I do not have only one eye I just..prefer to hide the other that's all.."

Mini Boss rp prompt!

(Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well! After posting the refs and some facts about my inscryption miniboss Ocs Bernard, Alder, and Eira, I've decided to set up a little rp prompt post for them for all of those who might want to interact with them! All are welcome to interact with them! Just send your responses to this post to the ask box and have fun! With that all said let's begin! ---Misty) .................................................................................................................

You(your character) don't quite recall how you ended up here. You just remember helping an injured animal of some kind, you don't remember what it was but you remember that after you helped it ran from you. You recalled following it into a dense forest area and everything going dark and suddenly feeling sleepy. Upon waking up you found yourself lying in a soft grass field staring up towards the sky confused and dazed.

Sitting up you found the grass to beneath you to be made of a purplish reddish hue rather than green but still felt soft to the touch as spruce hedges flank you on all sides though they are a good distance away from you at the edges of the field. The moon and stars shine above you like stars as you stand up to get a better look at your surroundings. Despite not knowing where you are you felt safe and even calm as you take notice of a path just off to the side of you and with no where else to go you following out of the enclosed field and onto a cobble stone bath that led in three directions.

The path heading south leads to a bear of glittering onyx gates where you can hear the sound of hearty laughter and the faint barking of small dogs as you make out the shape of glittering silver armor just behind the gates fence posts.

The path heading East leads to an open grove of fruit trees and vegetable beds lined with more cobblestone paths. You can barely make out the sound of light chatter coming from within the grove but the voices sound friendly from what you can tell

The final path heading north leads to a Victorian style house, it's windows reflecting the moons light like jewels from that direction you catch the whiff of what you believe to be chamomile tea and the faintest sounds of a woman singing something in a language you don't understand but it's calming to say the least

Which path do you decided to take?

Hello!! May I have favorite music types for your Scrybe and her mini bosses?? I love music and really enjoy seeing what types of music my friends enjoy and relate to!!

@scrybeofchance

Juno: "Favorite music?..For me I suppose it would have to be classical preferably something with piano or violin in it. Although I do enjoy whatever music Magnificus plays in his tower as well. "

Berard: "I quite enjoy folk music, it reminds me of the songs I use to sing with fellow knights n taverns when we weren't on shift. That or the occasional shanty from time to time."

Alder: "Does ambience count as music? I quite prefer listening to the sounds of nature than music, however I do enjoy folk or even celtic music from time to time"

Eira: "..Hmmm.."

Juno: "Something wrong Eira?"

Eira: "No my lady just thinking...I suppose for me I enjoy ambience music like Mr Alder, however classical or orchestral pieces suit me just fine to. So long as it is something I can hum to and isn't too noisy I will give it a listen."

Juno And minibosses battle music

Was listening the inscryption sound track and began to wonder what the Boss fight music would sound like for Bernard, Alder, Eira and Juno. And I found a few that I think would be fitting for them! So here is a list of some of the songs I think would work for each one. I am going to list a few for each one of them but my top pick will be the ones written in yellow! And likes will be provided with each listing. With all that being said let's get started:

Juno: So I actually came up with two songs for Juno. This first one is what would have been her original battle music 1) Pocket Mirror - Gaze Extended From Pocket Mirror the game, Posted by Mead tree on youtube

And this is what her the song for her battle would be if you got to battle her before she was deleted after Grimora started the deletion process

2) Pocket Mirror - Promise Extended From Pocket Mirror the game, posted by Mead tree on youtube

Bernard: His music was a little hard for me to figure out but in the end I discovered a few options

1) Epic Dark Battle Music - Escape [Powerful Fantasy Horror by Ebunny] Posted By Ebunny on youtube

2) Fantasy Battle Music - Goblin Raid Posted by Brandon Fietcher's Music on youtube

3) Boss - King MacFrights 1 | Luigi's Mansion 3 ost extended Posted by Professor Toad's Archives and Compsed by Nintendo

Alder: Oddly enough I only fond one song that i felt like would fit Alder's boss fight. However if any of you have suggestions as to what might fit this kind plant fellow let me know! I'd love to hear ya'lls opinion! 1) Fantasy Music - Old Willow Forest By Brandon Fietcher's Music on youtube

Eira: Surprisngly enough she was the easiest to think/find music for in terms of boss fight music out of everyone. Even Juno's potential theme.

1) Death's Door OST - 18 - Grandma From Death's Door the game. Posted and crated by David Fenn on youtube

2) Masquerade of the Ghosts Posted by Derek Fiechter Topic on youtube

3) Snowland Posted by Derek Fiechter Topic on youtube

4) Pocket Mirror - Credits Extended from Pocket Mirror the game posted by Mead Tree on youtube.

Juno Scrybe of shadow cards Masterpost

Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well! After posting about Juno's three mini bosses (Bernard, Alder and Eira) I came to realize that there are a lot more cards now that reside within Juno's hand literally lol! Thus I am making a kind of masterpost of all her cards! More will be added when and if created of course. And with that being said let's begin!

Cost of Cards: Name: Wisps Look like: like small flames but are made of a dark blue hue rather than red or orange

0 cost cards:

Shadow- Health: 1 Attack: 1 The wisp card is essentially the squirrels, and Skeletons of her games. They are within their own side deck and are used similarly to squirrels, skeletons, and empty vessels. They have no cost, low damage and low health but are perfect for sacrificing.

(Rare!!) Stone wall: Health 2 Damage: 0 Sigil: Unkillable and Surviving Strong When a stone wall is killed it immediately returns to the players hands no matter if it was sacrifice or defeated by another card. Surviving Strong sigil allows the card to gain 1 heath after being killed till it reaches a total of 5 health, sigil is only works when card is killed by another card not by sacrificing (Card is only available after defeating Bernard)

1 cost cards:

Hound Pup- Health: 2 Attack: 1 Sigil- Fledging After one turn hound pup will transform into a Shadow hound similarly to how a wolf pup turns into a full wolf.

The Blind wander-Heath: 1 Attack: Sigil- Shadow Borne Sigil details -Similar to waterborne sigil a card bearing this sign will go into hiding when it is the opponents turn

Snow Spider- Health 2 attack 1 Sigil: Fledging After one turn Snow spider grows into spider queen

Briar Bush- Health: 4 Attack:0 Sigil: Prickly When attacked card will deal one point of damage back to any card that attacks it.

2 cost cards:

Shadow hound- Health: 3 Attack: 2 A stronger version of a hound pup this card deals one extra damage and gains one extra health if evolved from a hound pup.

The Hand- Health:1 Attack: 2 Sigils:- Swipe Sigil details: When attack by a player’s card the card bearing this sigil will attack back by slashing at the attacker with its claws as a result it deals one damage for ever attack directed at it

Spider Queen- Health: 4 Attack: 2 Sigil: Beehive When card dies it will spawn one snow spider card into players hand.

(Rare!!) Poison Thistle- Health: 2 Attack : 0 Sigil: Prickly and Poison thorns Prickly sigil allows card deal 1 damage when attacked. Poison thorns: when card is attacked it will poison its any card that attacks it. Poison will weaken the attacker and take away 1 point of damage for every attack dealt to a poison thistle. (Card is only available after defeating Alder)

3 Cost cards:

Night Terror- Health 4: Attack 4: Sigils- Heavy hand Sigil details- Works similarly to how the Hefty Sigil works, after each turn it will move in the direction depicted on the card and will move any cards that are in its way. However, if a card at the edge of the board it will be pushed off the board removing it from play however the card will return to the players hand. However the card will maintain the same stats it had on the board before it was pushed off.

4 Cost cards: (Rare!!) Snow Hand- Health: 5 Attack: 1 to cards, and 3 to player directed hit Sigil: Petrification When attack a card baring this sigil will freeze any enemy they hit rendering them immobile for a turn. Frozen cards receive 1 health defense point if card is not slayed after inital attack. If there is no enemy in the way card will attack player directly and deal 3 points of damage. (Card is only available after defeating Eira)

Juno's mini bosses part 1

So I was think about what Juno's boss fight or just general game as well as who or what her mini boss's/minions would be if she had a map like leshy or followed the same mechanics as act 2 of Inscryption! Going to break this into 3 parts one for each mini boss.

Mini Boss/minion 1: Bernard the Gatekeeper - Apperance: A tall brooding fellow with a kind heart. He's dressed old rusted iron knight's armor that hides most of his shadowy form as he carries a giant stone hammer. His face like Juno's lacks most details but one can see a scar hidden beneath a crimson eye patch he wears over his left eye. The lines that make up the accents of his features depict him with a curled mustache and slick back hair and a face worn with age. He stands at almost 8ft high (248cm) and is built like a muscled giant but deep beneath the armor and cold exterior is a warm and gentle heart.

-Role: He is as the his title states the gate keeper. His job is to protect and guard the outskirts of Juno's domain. Protecting it and her from any possible danger. He was originally a knight from long ago but after losing his way he was guided to the shadow realm, a calm and friendly place that welcomed him with open arms. After the generosity the land and it's scrybe gifted him he vows to protect it to the best of his ability and he does so courageously. When it comes to visitors he acts like a guide gifting them small maps or directions as to where to go if they are visiting for the first time. And when it is time for a challenger to arrive he takes roll as the first miniboss they face if they wish to challenge Juno

-Game play/boss: His deck is filled mainly with shadow hounds that he calls his guard dogs. He is a heavy hitter that may also play a night terror but he only has one in his deck.

During the second stage of his his fight he will use his skill which is a move where he uses his hammer on the player's weakest cards on the board and turn them into a stone wall card with two health and zero damage. This move is only used on the player's weakest two weakest cards; he does this as away to both limit the player's spaces, but also give them something to defend with for a turn.

Intro Dialog for fight: Juno- "As you approach the gates at the edge of the moon lit force the sound of clucking metal alerts you. In the distance you can make out the frame of hulking figure their steps heavy as they marched in front of an iron gate lined with hedges. As you approach the figure turns to you staring at you with their lonesome red eye; their face riddled with scars. The scowl out you before brandishing a stone hammer meant for a giant and proclaimed-"

"Ah, I sensed someone approaching. But you have made a mistake in evoking a duel my friend. And mark my words this journey of yours will not be an easy one for you. As the Gatekeeper of this island I cannot allow you to tread this way further. By the orders of Lady Juno I shall not let you pass! So turn back now, or else my hounds will have a new chew toy to play with. HAVE AT THEE!"
