====== Kokytos ======

Kokytos is one of three alternative planes that can be travelled to, along with [[The Void]] and [[Inferno]]. It is the home realm of ice devils.

=== Methods of Access ===

  * Certain [[random events]] may banish commanders to Kokytos
  * Being hit by the ??Claws of Kokytos?? spell

=== Mechanics ===

Being in Kokytos is hazardous to anyone who makes it there. Each turn, the following things happen (([[:user:loggy:inferno|Obtained from the executable]])):

  * Any non-commanders in Kokytos instantly die without any means of survival.
  * All units in Kokytos are struck for 1d20 (exploding) [[AN]] [[Cold damage]].
  * There is a 75% chance that the commander comes under attack by various cold-themed creatures (all die rolls may explode). Battles here are under the effects of ??Grip of Winter?? and count as [[assassination|assassination battles]], so the banished commander's [[script]] is disregarded.

^ Chance ^ Attackers ^
| 1/4 | 1d20 ??Unfrozen??s |
| 3/16 | 1d20 ??Winter Wolf?? |
| 9/16 | 1d8 ??Frost Fiend??s |

  * Irrespective of being attacked or not, the chance of returning is rolled next. This is 8% plus any Kokytos returning modifiers, such as those possessed by unique ice devil commanders and those granted by certain [[items]].
  * Upon returning, there is a 10% chance of gaining +1 water magic. This cannot occur for units with {{path>W4}} or higher already.
  * When returning, there is a 50% to return in a province belonging to the owner of the lost unit. If not successful, a province is picked at random. In either case, the returning unit immediately drowns if appropriate, and then attacks the province if it is hostile.
