The Labyrinth of Akumas

Summary:

A new Akuma strikes and our heroes are in over their heads. Now stuck in a world built by the Akuma, will they be able to figure out how to escape before they all fall?

The title comes from a famous dungeon from 2nd Ed. D&D, Labyrinth of Madness.

Notes:

This story was inspired by a Tumblr post. It combines two things I love: Dungeons and Dragons and MLB. Thank you's go out to the OG poster, thelastpilot, for allowing me to work with their ideas, and dutchessofallthingsmagical for reminding me of this story that has been sitting in the WIP folder. For the tumblr prompt, head to: https://synkiller82.tumblr.com/post/190835221089/hey-pilot-what-do-you-think-the-miraculous

There will be no actual character deaths, but they can 'die' during their trails, so that is why I marked it. I hope that puts people's minds at ease. I would never kill off these sweet babies.

This year has not been easy on anyone, and I am no exception. Between work, school, my family obligations, the COVID pandemic, general stress, and my personal anxiety demons...I haven't written much at all since finishing "Collapse Into Me" and what I do write I throw into the WIP folder thinking it can never be good enough to see the light of Tumblr/AO3. Now, I have decided to tell me anxiety to take a hike, my school is over for a bit, and things in other areas have calmed...I may have some time for the muse to crawl back out and help me work through this story. It will be slow to update, and I apologize in advance for this. It will be completed though...no worries there! I hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 1: Prologue - explanation of characters

Chapter Text

For ease of their abilities transferring over to the D&D world, all characters have been designed with level 20 in mind. As of right now, I do not have every character in the story, but I wrote them up in case they get dropped in. Writing six characters is enough to make my head spin, nine would probably effect the flow and quality of the story.

Ladybug/Marinette - Hill Dwarf Cleric of Life Domain - healer for the group - she wears dragon full plate, made from alternating red and black sections with her Ladybug symbol adhered to the middle of the breastplate.. Her hair has been pulled into braided pigtails and her normal mask is still in place. She carries her yoyo and a shield.

Chat Noir/Adrien - Tabaxi Way of the Shadow Monk - Now resembling a true cat, he is covered with black fur with real ears, eyes, and tail. His clothes consist of a black tunic and pants, both made from a lightweight cotton. He uses a quarterstaff

Rena Rouge/Alya - Kitsune Illusionist Mage with Criminal background - In her true form, she is an anamorphic fox with reddish-brown fur, however her illusion shows her as she is in canon. She is dressed in an orange and white tunic that stops at her waist in the front, but goes to her knees in back, as well as black pants tucked into leather boots. She carries a spell book on one hip and her flute across her back. She has lock picking skills.

Carapace/Nino - Tortle Way of the Turtle Totem Barbarian - Yes, he is a giant turtle! He carries a large club

Queen Bee/Chloe - Human Warlock - she is wearing a yellow, black, and white flowing gown, but looks identical to canon Chloe other than the change of clothes

Viperion/Luka - Yuan-Ti Pureblood Bard - A thin sheen of turquoise, blue, and green scales cover his skin and his eyes have become reptilian. He wears brightly colored tunic and pants and carries his lyre on his hip. His special ability is Time Stop spell

Ryuko/Kagami - Dragonborn Kensi Monk - She now resembles a dragon, covered in red scales, with her red, black, and yellow horns. She wears a simple outfit of red and black that closely resembles her fencing attire. On her hip is a rapier and a bow with a quiver strung across her back. She has a breath weapon capability.

Pegasus/Max - Vedalken Conjuration Wizard - His skin is a dark blue and his eyes are a vibrant purple. He wears all black clothes under a black cloak.

King Monkey - Half-Elf Arcane Trickster Rogue - His clothes are now black leather armor instead of the brown monk outfit from canon, and his ears are pointed to show his elven heritage, but other than that, he looks as he does in canon. His staff has been switched out for an umbrella. Yes, I know it’s crazy and it’s normally Alix/Bunnix’s weapon of choice, but it is Kim and he is a monkey and extra.
