The final battle continues. The wind is howling as the once gentle Immortalis continues his endless barrage. Arthur manages to score a hit on the charging Immortalis, only for the origin dragon to lift himself into the air, descending full force on the dragoon. If not for his shield, Arthur would have surely been decimated. Thormanil and the resting Arx team up for a devastating assault on Immortalis. The dragon recoils, but seems to quickly regain his balance. He decides that using his tail was the best approach. The spines on the side of his serpentine lower half sharpen as they shred through the party not once, but twice! Only the party's Fenghuang Incense was keeping them from being entirely destroyed now, and still, many found themselves weary. Fortunately, Vindsval's guardian angel provides some reprieve from the elder's seemingly endless barrage of attacks.

"It's been so long since I saw a true angel." Immortalis bows respectfully to the divine being hanging above the party, before charging his claws with more electricity.

One of the seemingly lifeless flowers begins to shimmer, not unlike the one the party pilfered off of Telethia's corpse.

"What the...?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The memory shifts and stirs. Just where and when the party was was unclear - a building, an alley, outside - they could not be certain. There was a fire, a bonfire, and three figures surrounding it. They were comparatively tall to the tiny blue serpent that was wriggling towards them, his scales glinting a strange black color in the heat of the flame.

"Something happened that... Should not have." squeaks the tiny dragon.

One of the figures leers forward, revealing their face.

"What a foolish thing to say. Something that shouldn't have happened? How can you know that?"

Another figure leans forward and pats the small serpent on the head.

"Now now, don't let Nona get you down. We don't really understand morals or shame or regret or whatever. Want to tell your dear aunt Morta what happened?"

"Bad things like what happened, they, they... they shouldn't happen, not to good people, but they do. And..."

The dragonling shrinks back.

"I could've stopped it, if I was there."

"Could have done something. Humph. Sure."

"Now now, he might have been able to exert himself. If he had been there."

A third figure leans forward from the fire.

"Would you like to be there next time, little friend?"

The dragon seems to search for the words, before settling on three very simple ones.

"Yes. I would."

"Well that was easy peasy lemon squeezey," chuckles Morta.

"From now on, it will be your duty to make sure that you live up to your potential. Only the best of the best may survive."

"Who knows," snorts Nona, "maybe one day this city will be gone, and you'll be the only one responsible for guiding life forward."

"Even if I somehow outlast this City of First Mortals, you will surely outlast me." muses the dragonling as he makes his exit, his new powers already starting to take shape as an azure glow begins to surge from his eyes.

--------------------------------------------------

The memory fades away, and the party was back in Immortalis' garden.

"Without Telethia, all of the memories here must be running wild..." Immortalis hisses. "I was young and foolish. Younger than either of you." says the dragon, looking towards Arx and Miirym. "But the past hardly matters now. This is a battle for your future!"

The battle rages on!

Immortalis, Father Of Dragons, Level 200 Electric *Bleeding 10!* *Poison 20!*

*Immune to Instant Kill, Minimization, and Hexed!*

HP: 37,655/50,000

SP: -175

Specials:

Wrath Of The Sky: Immortalis calls forth a barrage of lightning strikes, smiting the heroes. All heroes have a 2/3 chance of taking electrical-elemental damage equal to their level times two. This attack also temporarily changes Immortalis's type from Ancient to Electric for 3 rounds.

Roar of Time: Immortalis unleashes a roar so strong that it can rend any armor. Three random heroes are reduced to 1 HP and lose all of their positive effects.

Final Verdict: Immortalis deals 250 damage to the hero who rolled Special Damage, and passes his verdict upon the party, Dooming all of them.

Specials decided randomly.

Passive Specials:

Last Stand: All of Immortalis' limbs share the same 50,000 HP. Limbs cannot be taken out individually - All of his body parts fall when the collective HP hits zero.

Adapt: All negative effects last two rounds on any of Immortalis' parts - when they expire, they will be permanently added to that body part's list of immunities. An insta-kill attack will not destroy that limb, but it will reset its immunities back to the default ones. (Immortalis cannot adapt to Bleeding, Poison, Burning, and Fragile, so those effects will work as they normally do.)

Torn To Shreds: All attacks reduce the SP of the limb being damaged by 25; SP can go into the negatives, adding to the damage of attacks. Targeting and successfully hitting Immortalis' head reduces the SP of all body parts by 50. Bombs do not lower SP or recieve extra damage due to negative SP. Negative SP will be added before multipliers when calculating damage.

[Lind Whisperer]

OoC: Stormpiercer should be +3 Burning. I think Lind should be down to 7 health? (25-21=4+30, 41-34=7)

"Even if I somehow outlast this City of First Mortals, you will surely outlast me." muses the dragonling as he makes his exit, his new powers already starting to take shape as an azure glow begins to surge from his eyes.

"A City of First Mortals..." the Black Knight muttered, thoughtfully. The searing pain in his chest quickly caused him to snap back to the battle.

"Arthur, thoughts - should I step back, and put on my Invader Armor, get a little more push in my attacks - or should I keep slicing away at his tail?"

[Asphalt]

OOC: first time rolling a shield as a paladin, and just to be certain. No player can be damaged in any way the next round or receive any negative effects.

[Flipz]

OOC: 1/6 deflect chance for shield-bearers?

"The Witches."

<Deci, Nona, Morta. Mallelio spoke of them in Dastan--about when he spoke of you, actually.>

"They're active again now, you know. I hear Heroica has had more than one run-in with them...not all of them positive."

<That bargain you made...surely you do not believe it was without cost?> She lands briefly, gesturing at the assembled party, ready to strike once more. <This...this is that cost. I am that cost. On this night your debt is being reclaimed.>

OoC: Stormpiercer should be +3 Burning. I think Lind should be down to 7 health? (25-21=4+30, 41-34=7)

"Arthur, thoughts - should I step back, and put on my Invader Armor, get a little more push in my attacks - or should I keep slicing away at his tail?"

"Do it next Round. This round, all of us need to attack the left wing from the Front Row. We can stack a lot of damage on it if we do, and Vindsval's angel will handle the Free Hits and any attacks thrown at us."

Arthur attacks the Left Rapturewings with his Gladiator Trident from the Front Row, twice. Miirym uses her Breath on the Left Rapturewings from the Front Row, twice.

OOC: first time rolling a shield as a paladin, and just to be certain. No player can be damaged in any way the next round or receive any negative effects.

OOC: That is correct, yes.

[Lind Whisperer]

"Do it next Round. This round, all of us need to attack the left wing from the Front Row. We can stack a lot of damage on it if we do, and Vindsval's angel will handle the Free Hits and any attacks thrown at us."

"Roger!"

Lind attacks Left Rapturewings from the Front Row with Severa Slasher, twice.

[Asphalt]

Vindsval looks to the skies as they fill with a golden light. He shields his eyes from the brilliance and sees a woman clad head to foot in golden armor, double bladed axe in each hand, riding upon an 8 legged armored steed. As their eyes meet he hears her voice in his head. Choose a form green one, I am yours as you are now mine.

​Be my sigil great one, as the Lord bade me bear it.

So be it.

Her form begins to shimmer, the light intensifies. The great horse elongates, his tail thickens, segments, and grows to a point. The Angels gold armor flows down covering the great beasts now segmented and barb tipped legs. It ripples over his two forelegs, tipping them in wicked pincered claws. The lady's body melts into the creatures back even as its heads fades away. Where there was once woman and steed there is now but a single gilded beast, part beautiful woman, part vicious scorpion. She spreads her claws wide between Vindsval, the Party, and Imoratlis.

Strike Traveller, and know you are protected,

With your blessing Golden One, in His name, so shall we all.

With a great roar Vindsval charges the Ancient wyrm and STRIKES TWICE at the Left Rapture wing from the Front Row with the Stygian Blade

[JimBee]

Jinnipher watched Vindsval's guardian angel come forth with a grimace. "Hmph. Not bad. Your little fairy better be up to the test."

She nodded to Arthur and noted the dragon's weak spot, charging forward with Beheader and striking the Left Rapturewings.

[Siercon and Coral]

Siercon listens to the others plan as the angel showers them with protection. "Arthur, I believe I might be the one exception to the pile up on the left wing. This is my opportunity to seal and weaken the beast in two blows."

Edit: This action deleted:

Siercon attacks Immortalis from the front row first with the etherial opal, and then with svens blade. Or using both if shield.

Replaced with post below.

OOC: sound good?

"The Witches."

"The who?" Karie was slightly shaken by what she had seen, but Arthur's seeming knowledge made her more confused. Despite this, one of the figures seemed to stick out, even if Karie's memory on the subject was fuzzy.

"Whatever, we have a fight to finish! Arthur's got the idea here, hit the left wing! Just, give me a minute to prep..."

Karie downed another Grand Tonic, followed by a continuation of her Rapid March.

[Asphalt]

Arthur, do you know of the beings from the vision? We can be sure that the youngling is our host, but who are the others?

Not for the first time Vindsval on this quest he feels at a loss for history among those who have spent their lives within the hall.

[Siercon and Coral]

"Humm... Actually never mind I think you are right. I'll join you guys and continue the left wing barrage."

Siercon attacks the left wing twice from the front row with ethereal topaz. If shield, he uses ethereal opal and giant spear."

"The Witches are...for lack of a better word, harbingers, of momentous, world-shaking events. They grant power and advice to certain individuals, but from what I've seen of it power so gifted must always come at cost. A strong ally of mine once described their deals as 'questionable', and it seemed to me he was being generous in his description."

<Mallelio spoke of them in Dastan. They are Deci, Nona, and Morta, and they are associates of the Old Gods--the immortal remnants of the First Mortals who came into existence.>

"They have grown more active, as of late. And that degree of activity forebodes great and terrible things to come."

<At least they did not appear to us during our mission. I would have far more doubts as to our odds of success had they come forth to tempt us. Do not falter, Vindsval, Karie. Our victory is within reach. I have no doubt of that.>

There is in deed no question as to where the Wing Lord's path will end great lady.

Vindsval thinks a moment.

Could these be the three Fates of my mother's people? Advisors to the Wanderer himself?

<They have roamed the world since time immemorial. They were old when the First Mortals were young, even before the First Mortals Hope, Passion, and Regret became known as the Old Gods. The Old Gods themselves have seen their history woven into myth, then myth into legend, then legend into distant, threadbare memory. It is not beyond reason that the Old Gods or the Witches--or even both, as they often appear together--could have become known as the Fates of your people.> Miirym's azure eyes--a near-perfect mirror of her grandfather's--take on a dangerous, icy gleam. <But if your Fates are indeed the Witches, then I fear that your Wanderer either has, or will, pay a terrible price for their aid.>

"...well, you're in a cheerful mood."

<I suppose it runs in the family,> Miirym fires back flippantly. <Both sides of it, it seems...> she half-mutters, though with little venom behind the jab.
