Thread: DHL Mission Report - Month Six: Leaving Earth

I like how things are turning out in the dream world. A league of dream villains? Who knows if they are responsible for all the things happening or if the red tasks have been members of the league.

It is funny by the way how the dragon enemy is fitting my dragon themed character so much. Seems like the dragon will slay the dragon. Oh, and I might have a good addition for our league: The swordsman from month 4. He agreed to help me on my adventures so let's hope for his honesty.

I wish you some good fights!

Awesome new missions !

The dragon fight looks amazing, since these days I am playing Skyrim again
(you can notice it also reading the DJ entry)

So this morning I managed to fight Sensei clone ! LINK TO DJ

In short: another Mad Scientist had cloned his hero, plus added immense regeneration abilities and gave him a flaming sword
It was a long and tough fight, where I had to use all of my weapons and abilities to win
Especially, summoned creatures - Ice elemental, flaming wolf and a wyvern - proved invaluable for getting the upper edge...

Truly enjoyed this

Yay, another surprise of fun tasks. XD I just gotta beat boss now.

This morning I have a long WILD in which I help a villager get rid of some dark creatures
I imbue my sword of a "light" power for taking the shade down

More important, I reach the Shadow World, a place built of pure darkness and shadow
It's really impressive, although kinda difficult to express it in words

I block the Necromancer who was controlling the shades and opening the portals to the Earth, take his amulet and leave him in the Shadow World
I save his assistant, a deaf girl, and take her with me back to Earth

Ah! I shouldnt have gotten double points for fighting genghiskhan clone. still got it on the other task tho. :/

Purple Planet - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I finished both the dragon and the battling an opponent on another planet task. ^w^ But....I ended up getting help from Sensei and Garnet from Steven Universe. I also noticed that the color schemes in my dream match the half year missions. >.<

I used the last night to do some investigation on the current cases.
The thief is way more professional than I thought. He obviously has some invisibility cloak, allowing him to disappear without barely any trace. I noticed when I was searching for him and saw him running along the street. As I started to follow him he turned invisible.
I could as well identify two of the Dream Villain League's members more or less. While investigating a weird, really, really dark forest I saw a black van parked behind a wall of trees. The persons who came out of the car turned into a different form the moment they stepped outside of it. They became Obama and Donald Trump. 0_o
Seems like they are really powerful imposters. I nearly got caught when climbing up a steep hill leading out of the forest as it got fairly noisy obviously. The next surprise came shortly after that. They even have a special task force! Three men completely covered in black armor and armed with machine guns got at me when I left the forest and it was no fun experience for me. Close combat has no sense, they block every single move a normal person could make. I decided to inflame them which didn't please them at all. Enough to get away at least.

Now that I know the enemy I can tackel them.

Lol xD I was not expecting Trump and Obama to be the dream villains. : D Good job at investigating the dream scene though. Seems like you'll be able to catch the thieves in no time.

Spoiler for shadow:

had a few dreams that people were talking about shadow creatures early in the night. Then i had this dream late into the night.

I am in a house and we are looking for the shadow monster. they have been trying hard to get into this house. They are trying to kill the family. i talk to the dad and i ask him where his kid and wife are. he says that they have hidden the kid and the wife is going to be back soon. i hear a noise near the door and realize that the mom was fighting. her own shadow was attacking her, hard to explain what it looked like. By the time we got there, she was mutilated on the floor. Her body was actually made of wood. oh! the wood giants, these must be related to the one i killed before. Fake memories tell me that these are the last 3 left... er... two left. I then tell the man to check on the baby and he gets grabbed by his own shadow and dragged into the other room. he is immediately 10 feet tall and really skinny. his neck snapped and he collapses on the ground. Man, how am i gonna beat this guy when my own shadow can kill me.
I expect the doorbell. One of my best friends walks in, holding half a loaf of precut bread.
"Good, its not too late! here!" he tosses me another half loaf "you know how to use it?" i immediately do. I take one piece out.
"the baby!" i yell and we rush to the nursery, it is being absorbed into the shadows. they have killed all but one of this race and are planning on abducting and changing the last one. I toss a piece of bread at the shadow and a shadow arm sizzles and falls away, i throw another and half of his body sizzles away. He jumps at me, leaving a shining seed floating above the crib. they had saved it in a pocket space thinking it would help it, might have been what gave me enough time to save it. The shadow is almost at me, but the bread is still in my hand, i hold the rest of it up and jam it into the thickest part. the whole thing disipates and i know it is dead. the monster lurking in the shadows was a shadow. all the bread had dissolved into the shadows, my friend handed me a couple more pieces of bread.
"it wont be enough if you fight a big one, but most only take one piece, you can stop at any store of course or just summon them." I reached forth and grabbed the seed. put it into my inventory. dark seed. I think the shadow tainted the seed a little, i will try and raise this on my own.

i spent some time checking out zödra and the changes in it and then woke up. think i am gonna raise that tree giant, should be fun.

monster in the shadow, dont think bread counts as an ability. haha.

Tried to fight the dragon, didn't quite summon him. Super short WILD because of alarm.

Spoiler for broken:

I am trying to WILD and going through random things trying to get some sensations. Suddenly I see a girl. I ask her where the dragon is at and nothing comes out of my mouth, the words still get through and she points to a huge fog, it looks like smoke is settling. I feel my sword in my hands I charge up my attack, guess I am using powers. I use the charge power and I burst through the fog and instead of a dragon, it is a car smoking. My sword breaks into pieces. I am so confused by that that I don't even care that my opponent is a car with a broken sword in the hood. I look at my sword and realize that I don't have my katana, but a black katana, I didn't summon it the normal way, so it didn't summon the right one, makes sense. I decide to summon my sword and search for my dragon and the alarm goes off.

It would be cool if you meet him again A buddy to share your dream adventures with.

Nice, 2 Points for the visual contact of two targets. But... Obama and Trump? Alright then, didn't really expect them to be behind /part of the Villain league haha.

10 Points!

Umm, I don't know if that should be 50 or 100 Points for the Planet-task, since I guess you used your light-powered sword(?) against the necromancer's shades. Would it be okay if you got 50 Points if your sword was still light-powered? Otherwise 100 Points. These points.

That spooky car though.

Finally managed to break my ONE MONTH LONG DRY SPELL and got my 500th lucid. Was a real short one though. Woo I'm baack! Maybe I'll get to join the battling now too. Let's go! I wanna summon all of you and battle all off this month's targets and all the half year-targets in one giant clash haha.

Holy, we are succesful this month. What happened to us?

Oh yes, I used the still-light-powered sword against the shades. In my SC that was the only effective weapon I've got against them
Also, I perfectly remember my drawn sword lighting the interior of the dark house at one point

To be honest I did not connect at all that would count for the Fight in a new Planet task - I saw more as an alternate realitythan a physical place - but I guess it does

Ok, so 50 Points. Yea I think it counts, totally. A world of shadows, I thought it was another world all the time.

Goody

So, I just posted 25th and 26th DJ entries LINK TO DJ

This morning I do an undercover mission: I change my facial features with my own hands, I play a false ally for a thief, he reveals he's going to steal the Queen's ring. I betray him just when he's in front of the jewel

Later, I visit DHL HQ, meet some apprentices there, then train pyrokinesys against some poor dummy

: D Congrats on your 500th lucid. You should definitely try summoning us and battling the monsters. Also 200 points? It says on the chart I have 24 so wouldn't it be around 124? Oh and since Sensei was summoned does he get points for it too? ^.^

6 Points for the Thief-task. I don't think you really used dream powers even though you changed your appearance to fool him. Or I don't know haha, your adventures are always so hard to score for some reason . That revelation though! I wish I was there to see his face.

15 Points. Maybe the people sitting on the lobby were some of us, you should totally have asked!

Are you by any chance related to Hukif? Or are you him lol? You're having so many and so long lucid dreams I'm starting to get suspicious ( He has had nearly 7000 lucid dreams )

Thanks! And yea 200 Points, since you used only your selected powers - flight and increased physical abilities. I'll mention the sensei thing in the next thread later. I think I forgot to mention some of the things that happened last month in this thread though

You're perfectly right there, it just didn't cross my mind

Not at all - Never counted my LDs but I estimate in the range of ~200, so waaaaaaaay less than that
However, many of my WILDs are pretty long (30mins+)

Hey. I've been watching the anime Hunter X Hunter recently, already at season 2 12th episode...but it gave me ideas to make the Dhl more interesting.First, I think it would be cool If we classified our dream abilities like they do in Hunter X Hunter. In the anime it has to do with aura and nen stuff but we don't have to get into detail about it. I just think it would be cool if DhL members put their ability into a category. I pasted info from a article that goes into it below. Thinking about the options I feel my dream abilities fit mainly into manipulator accompanied with conjuration. This could most likely be why I can't picture myself using a gun in my dream too. I don't find it as fun as summoning or wielding something flexibly or freely. So I'll most likely stick with the sword or blade without the gun part to it.



6 Types of Nen in Hunter x Hunter

The world of Hunter x Hunter is a dangerous place, so to survive, Hunters must learn to harness the power of their auras using Nen. This article will break down the six different categories of Nen, with GIF images to showcase them.

Dec 1, 2015 8:49 PM by*Kvasir369*| 35,343 views


In the world of*Hunter x Hunter, people have a special power within them called Nen, which can be unlocked through several different means including exposure, training, or the sheer luck of being born with the capacity to use it with no prior knowledge. The expression of that power, the means by which each Nen-user can create an ability belonging solely to them, is called Hatsu and comes in six distinct classes.

Enhancement

Enhancement*allows*Enhancers*to bolster their natural abilities or qualities of items in their possession. In extreme cases, they can even boost something beyond what would normally be possible by setting limitations and vows upon it.

Gon Freecss*(as pictured in the gif above) uses his enhancement to increase the amount of power gathered into his fist, enabling him to deliver strikes capable of harming even the most durable of foes.

Transmutation

Transmutation*allows*Transmuters*to change their Nen so that it gains attributes of something else. Despite the name, it doesn’t actually change the Nen into a physical substance or element, but rather it simply*mimics*the properties—it may look and act like something else, but it isn’t really the same thing.

Machi of the Phantom Troupe*(as pictured in the gif above) transmutes her aura into a thread-like substance that can be used to sew things together, strangle enemies, or even puppet other people around.



Conjuration

Conjuration*allows*Conjurers*to change their Nen into actual objects. To people who are unaware of Nen, it literally makes the users seem like they can pull an object out of thin air, whereas most other Nen abilities aren’t visible to the uninitiated.

Kurapika*(as pictured in the gif above) uses conjuration to create chains that can stretch to enormous lengths, which can be used for offense, defense, or restraining his opponent.

Emission

Emission*allows*Emitters*to release and utilize their Nen at a longer distance.

Gon Freecss (as pictured in the gif above) uses his emission to fire off his Nen as a long-distance projectile attack, reminiscent to Ki attacks used in other anime.

Manipulation

Manipulation*allows*Manipulators*to use their Nen to control the movement or action of a certain person, object, or other ability. It can be paired up with another type of Nen to expand control over how an ability works.

Shalnark of the Phantom Troupe*(as pictured in the gif above) uses a phone and antenna to manipulate others into doing his bidding, making it a prime example of manipulation.

Specialization

Specialization*is for anything that doesn’t fit squarely into any of the other five categories.*Specialists*usually have abilities that cannot be gained through training and they often have effects that cannot be replicated.

Meleoron’s*ability (as pictured in the gif above) makes him and anyone he is touching while using this ability completely undetectable to the senses of others, making it perfect for stealth and assassination. The only condition is that it only works while he is holding his breath.

ah, dawneye11, i love the hunter x hunter fighting system. it works really well. I think that en is a good way to look at dream energy. when you are done with hxh, i recommend reading psyren. really good abilities there. like barriers and programs.

ghengiskhan, only 200 LDs, what is your frequency and how long have you been LDing? you seemed like you were closer to my amount than that.

: D Glad you think so too Sensei. I will give psyren a try after finishing H X H. Thanks for the suggestion.

Interesting system. I can't help image mapping my dream abilities on a radar chart having six axis as the powers' categories

Maybe if you describe your powers again we can help.

Also, Sai I had a part of my dream that was related to the dream villain leauge. Except they were really lame and not worth fighting. It must count for something though if I tried fighting them at first.

The Ocean's Water In A Room - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Took out a bunch of villains, don't know if this counts, they called themselves "villains", but didn't say villain league or DVL or anything. LMK what you think. Used powers in this one. haha.

Spoiler for Villain task maybe:

I am with my dream wife. The same one from before. Been seeing her a lot lately. She is telling me that villains are coming at me and I will need to fight them. I pull out my sword and she says that I can't beat them like that, I put it away. I must fly. I decide to believe her and fly around a lot with her around the city looking for them. I end up finding a group of them and I drop down. The flying was weird because it was like the flying in harry potter that death eaters do, but from my view I could just see a little of it blurring, not the whole body. Anyways.
I jump down and they all pull out cards. I am not sure if we are getting ready to duel, but then they call out their cards and say "hammer!"
"strength!" "Sword!" "flying!" and "pyrokinesis!" oh, man, this might actually be hard, but I already planned on using abilities. I send a huge gust of wind at them (imagine air bending in avatar, it always works better with the motions) they had a bunch more cards in their pockets and they all flew out. My dream wife grabs them and tosses me one. I can't read it. I put the card up and say "boom!" and then throw the card. I don't know what will happen, but all the guys dive out of the way of the card and I fly over to the guy with the sword while he is running. My card hits the ground with nothing happening. I pick him up by his shirt and toss him into a wall. I should mention that I am near a train stop. It is a mixture of a place that a train would stop here in japan and a freight train. He hits the wall and bounces onto the tracks. A train comes by and he jumps onto it. The guy with super strength and pyrokinesis leaves. Might have to fight them later. I am hit in the back by the guy with flying, who seems to have borrowed the hammer from hammer guy. He then tosses the hammer back to hammer guy and grabs ahold of me. Flying me up into the air. I regain my composure. heal myself real quick and stop in midair. He is shocked by the sudden stop and I punch him in the face, he just drops like a rock and catches himself before he hits the ground. I am almost at him though and kick him into the ground. He is out for the count. I quickly put up a teleporting barrier and send him away. I want to say to the DHL, but I don't know 100%. My wife is getting her butt kicked by the guy with the hammer. I see now why she wanted me to fly. it is the only ability that she has. She doesn't really know much about the dream world and to her flying is the peak. I might have to teach her about Zödra. She is really strong willed and with just a bit of training could be as good as Vixen if not better. I set my hand on her shoulder. I nod for her to walk away. She has bruises all over. I set up a small 2D one time heal barrier that she walks through and is healed. She is confused, but then she realizes that it was me. The hammer guy comes at me and I dodge the first attack, a fast attack from above, and then I set my foot on the hammer. He tries to lift it, but I push down. Hammer is really only a good weapon if you can fly or have super strength. I push off of the hammer and kick him in the face. I land behind him and then knee him in the back. I take the hammer from him and fly into the air. He turns around looking for me, after 15 feet of fast flying I fly quickly back down, using the hammer's weight to swing myself at him. The hammer slams him unsuspecting into the ground. The hammer is connected to him, so it disappears. He is also gone. I wonder if people just disappear when they die now since it is a dream world. Interesting. I fly around with my wife for a bit and she tells me something interesting about her powers being more like magic spells and that she needs words for them. This makes me think more on persistent powers and I need to make a thread about it! After a long time flying and exploring the city I wake up.

Finished the dragon task. My sword wasn't quite strong enough to kill him. Had to resort to more violent methods.
TOTY in black, DHL task in red. No extra powers once the fight started.

Spoiler for Dragon Task:

I am looking down at a bunch of rocks and grass, trying to WILD... I am waiting for the dream to become stable before doing anything. I start collecting rocks into a glass bowl and realize that I am solid in the dream and can feel the weight of the rocks in the bottle. I drop the bottle. I start walking around and realize that I am on all fours. Might as well! I transform into a wolf and start running. The place looks a lot like Rohan, I run across the plains and notice that there is a huge cliff coming up. I remember the task to transform into a dragon and destroy a village. I am a little confused because I think that it is a DHL task and don't know how it would work without powers. I jump off the cliff and my paws change into claws and wings sprout out. My tail gets longer and I turn into a normal looking red dragon. I realize that I am at an old route of mine, not a village. I fly to a place that I know has no houses and imagine that a village is there. A small village with a palisade fence and 10 or so cottages are there. I stand next to it. I am about the size of the whole village. When I shoot fire out of my mouth it switches to 3rd person and I engulf the entire place in flames. It takes about 3 full breaths to take it out, and the whole village is gone. Someone runs up from the road with his horse.
"You killed my whole family!" He yells.
"I did not." My booming voice says across the plains. I point to another village and say "Everyone is over there, I am not that much of an a**hole."
I remember then that the TOTY was to destroy the village and it is done. DHL task is to take out a dragon. I summon myself to the ground next to the guy there.
"Leave." I tell him and point to the other village. It seems to be all under water, or a waterfall type thing. Contrast, of course. haha.
He leaves and I look at the dragon. His eyes lock with mine. I jump at him and he throws a claw at me. I jump over it with a maneuver that I would probably fail 8/10 times in waking, but this is a dream, so I nail it of course. I summon my sword and am glad to see my white handle appear. I try to stab at him, but his head turns to me and he prepares a blast. I set my sword on the ground and use the portal to teleport to his neck. I swing at it, hoping to end it in one fell swoop. It gets stuck in the scale and I fall on the ground. I roll, avoiding the fire blast, but some of it still scorches my face, making it impossible to see (again?!?) I summon my sword and put a hand on the paw that is next to me. It lifts up, but with touching it I know where I need to go. I set my sword down and use the portal to send myself up in the air above his head again. I need to either use my max stat on something to heal or just start using all my dream powers... Or I could finish it. Strength could miss the sword swing, I decide not to use that. I use weight. Max it out. I fall directly on his neck. I hear a snap as my extra weight buries his head in the ground. I fall off and cancel out my stat before I hit the ground myself. I heal my face and can see the dragon. It is looking at me with its left eye.
"Finish this." He says.
"You don't remember me?" I ask him "I created you a few minutes ago!"
I know I have won, so if he attacks me after I heal him I can use powers to beat him. I pull him out of the ground with TK and heal him in the air. I hear his neck bones snapping back into place and healing.
"I remember now." He says. I heal all of the village and tell the people to come back. As they are headed back, me and the dragon fly around for a few minutes having fun. haha.

Been doing tasks and enjoying Zödra a lot recently. I usually don't really like flying since I would rather just teleport, but when you are already where you want to be, it is better to just fly.
