Endgame

QM Note: My bad, Zepher, I musty've been thinking Sleep rules or something. Joeshmoe, Roots of Life revives with only 1 HP. I don't recall when the change was set in place; I remember suggesting it, but I recieved no response. If you check the Rules & FAQ post Sandy last made, you'll see that it's the new rule. Must've snuck its way in? RE-EDIT: Thanks, CMP, for correcting me on that matter! Punii now has his health core back.

The resurrected cheif continues to struggle and fight, his hdeous tentacles sweeping the entire battlefield with gelatinous barbs and dark magic. The party drives him to severe weakness, a few more good blows from Alatreon being capable of downing the beast. Erdathcath and Mortimer find themselves both skewered by the Oculoid's two impalers. Erdathcath is freed from the crystalline stabber's grip when Nilrem explodes in a burst of light, severely wounding the already battered Collosus. Erdathcath gets healed, but Mortimer is further humiliated, being both hexed and lit on fire. "Your leader belongs to me now. I'm losing, yes. But I am disassembling you. Picking apart your minds one by one, and reassembling them as I see fit. That is my mission here. In a way, i suspect The Regret sent me to die... But the more I can scar you, the better."

SP is "shield power", or in other words, defense. Zunde shouldn't have any.

Khorne, looks like you forgot to deduct my HP. "Orel, don't be afraid to ask me for a heal... I feel pretty hardy too, though. Nice as they are, these winged lizardfs need to fall." Lynne repeats, trying her hardest to thwack Youngling B in the jaw.

QM Note: I fixed the first round's damage input - the reason why he isn't stunned is because Johon landed a hit on him. Sorry, the battle order had you attacking from the back row. I'll revive Boomingham to 1 HP and strike his Mead, then...

"Why are they attacking us, anyway? Are they normally this aggressive?" Lynne Repeats.

Not all that inaccurate, if you're a massive pessimist. "You're the same crude old bastard you were in Charis, hmph." "What does he have right?"

"He's destroying decades of progress, is teamed up with a shedevil, sends his own men to die, and made my granddaughter into his own personal whore after picking her out of poverty on the streets." I narrow my eyes into slits. "He's a villain who uses and abuses the weak to please his body and get more power, trampling over goddamn decades of work just to do what? Reduce Eubric to a wasteland? Empower that horrid witch?"

"To be frank, yes, you do..."

"Uh, yes. Nice man. He works in law enforcement, the head of an anti-Wolfgang unit of the Town Watch. And no, Benji, they are not "good" in under any context. And Helvetia save your soul if you are on their payroll." "Irrelevant."

"Nice try, Sarge... I'm not that gullible. Nor do I appreciate the sarcasm."

"A thousand a piece - five thousand between all of you. ...Wolfgang? You cooperated with the Wolfgang." My last word was practically dripping venom, I lean back in my chair uneasily.

"You... Did that? Why in the world... Agh, never mind. You must've had your reasons... Right? Yes, I think you know a few of the heroes that are going. Johon, Karie, Boomingham, Karie's spouse... It's a good team. They'll win." "I am... Quite undead. I died at a very young age, but a necromancer tethered my soul back to my body. Good as new... For a little bit, anyay. Well, good on you for helping the girl out." My good mood evaporates when they mention the money. "Who has five thousand gold to shell out in a day? Not even the houses would do that."

Masson gets restless waiting for confirmation on whether or not he could remedy his wife. "Karie... Snap out of it, please..."

"Mortimer, move me to the top of the battle order. I'll remedy Karie."

What makes you think she isn't?

"Better in some ways, worse in others. Typical for most, really." "Hell of a job it was. Felt like we spent a day in there, but no, an archdemon's magic instead made it 6 months. It was quite the ordeal... 13 hordes of demons, we faced, the archdemon's vessel among them. Nasty things. So, how was your ordeal? You fard better than I did, I hope." "Hmmm. I'm doing well enough. A penance? For what, may I ask?" "I am both old and dead, but si down if you'd like. My name is Sorrow. And you are...?" "It's good to see you've, ah, recovered, at least. If the Oculoids still have you shaken, Althior, I've heard that there is currently an expedition to stop them in their own territory... Poetic justice, I call it." I turn to the Nord. "Found a diamond in the rough on your last quest, huh?"

There is now a forehead sized indent in my glass table due to how hard I headdesked when that result popped up.

"If you have to... If you really, truly, have to, aim above the stomach, alright?"

In response to 105... I'm not sure how this keeps happening.

"Hah! You continue to impress, human. Let us clean this mess up together." "Never have I seen a machine practice magic. Tell me, automaton, did you have to train for your prowess, or were you built with it?" "Mark my words, the darkness awaits you as well."

Really?! >Tempest + Fire: Sundowner prepared! The party sets to work tearing apart the Oculoid Collosus. They empower the mighty Alatreon, the majestic beast scorching the entire collosus in an instant. "Such a mighty dragon...!" The Collosus does get in a few good shots, denting Alatreon and enthralling Karie with a bewitching stare. "I want you to recall what it was like to be under my control, witch. I want you to fall victim to your own specialty once more, and lose all control. Sound good?" Masson enters a tranquil fury as he sees his wife succumb to the Collosus. "You. Back away from her, NOW." "Damned dragon." Oculoid Collosus, Level 95 Dark Collective HP: 2828/3500 Immune to Weakened, Jinxed, Blindness, and Sealing!
