Aincrad (WIP)

TrustyGecko

Aincrad is a massive, floating steel castle, consisting of 100 interconnected floors

Author's Note: Aincrad is the iconic setting of Sword Art Online, a colossal, floating fortress suspended in the virtual sky. Shaped like an inverted cone, it features 100 expansive floors, each representing a unique world with its own landscapes, towns, forests, mountains, and dungeons. The floors are stacked like layers, with higher levels becoming progressively more challenging to navigate and conquer. Each floor is connected by labyrinths, which players must traverse to locate and defeat powerful floor bosses to unlock access to the next level. The environment within Aincrad is immersive and diverse, ranging from tranquil villages and bustling cities to treacherous wildernesses and dark, monster-filled caverns. What makes Aincrad particularly perilous is the death game imposed on its players. Once trapped in this virtual world, players are unable to log out, and dying in the game results in death in real life. This high-stakes environment amplifies the tension as players struggle to survive, form alliances, and strive to clear all 100 floors to escape the fortress and regain their freedom. Its combination of beauty, danger, and mystery makes Aincrad a striking and unforgettable setting.

Actions

Change Shape

The hag magically polymorphs into a Small or Medium female humanoid, or back into her true form. Her statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment she is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. She reverts to her true form if she dies.

Claws (Hag Form Only)

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Etherealness

The hag magically enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. To do so, the hag must have a heartstone in her possession.

Nightmare Haunting

While on the Ethereal Plane, the hag magically touches a sleeping humanoid on the Material Plane. A protection from evil and good spell cast on the target prevents this contact, as does a magic circle. As long as the contact persists, the target has dreadful visions. If these visions last for at least 1 hour, the target gains no benefit from its rest, and its hit point maximum is reduced by 5 (1d10). If this effect reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target dies, and if the target was evil, its soul is trapped in the hag's soul bag. The reduction to the target's hit point maximum lasts until removed by the greater restoration spell or similar magic.
