Johon pulls off an imprssive ravaging, tearing through all of the Ameoboss's limbs. However, in the process, he stirs the Ameoboss itself, the beast's head waking up from it's slumber. Jeaux gets slashed at by one of the claws, being sent sprawling across the floor. Karie and Masson team up and nearly shatter another tusk, but their victory is cut short by the Ameoboss's cunning manuever. He headbutts Boomingham, the blow being just enough to knock the Paladin unconscious. <You've failed as a leader.> "RRRRRROOOWaarrghaAhHHHHAAA!"

QM Note: All of the clerical errors should be fixed now. The battle will be run tomorrow morning!

Sleep is a very fickle status, really. I plan on justifying the scary red text on the quest pitch, though.

You see, Ameoboss limbs actually all have a seperate nucleus, which is in turn coordinated by the central nervous system inside the head. As a defense mechnaism, should the main Ameoboss need sleep, the rest of its body can assume semi-conciousness and hold the border. I made all of that up, blame game mechanics.

QM Note: I don't typically note those passives (I'm good at accounting for the damage they take, not neccasarily the fact that they're applied. ) But if you'd like me to I will. Jeaux now has 3 more HP.

QM Note: For the record, if you fail to specify a row for an NPC, and that target will not instakill them on a roll of Damage, they'll move to the front automatically.

QM Note: I don't note permanent effects.

QM Note: It only applies to Bows. Also, you are now Hastened. The Ameoboss glares at Boomingham. Em translates... <You'll be the first to die.>

"I am the only one that my scheme is fully reliant one. The rest can be replaced, most of them entirely. Yes, you have destroyed some of my assets. That is objective fact, something I cannot deny. But ultimately, what have you done to delay me?" "You're quite right in one aspect, and horrifically wrong in another. Yes, most of my legion is just a reflection of myself. But I am far more than master of them. I have started countless wars. I have achieved mastery over almost all forms of magic. I have a program devoted entirely to tearing humans apart and reassembling them as my slaves. I once created an entire island. I dare say I am far more than merely the Master of myself. But if it's a fight you want... Who am I to deny you that? Ameoboss: Attack." The Regret once again vanishes into thin air, the Ameoboss suddenly growing far more aggressive. He roars again, scattering hail across the deck. He rears up and prepares himself for battle, his claws gripping the deck. It was obvious that the Ameoboss was going to cause quite a bit of collateral damage during the fight... "We have to wrap this up quick! We'll only have eight rounds before this thing's thrashing causes enough collateral damage to sink the boat!" "RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRGGHHHLLLLLKLL!" Prepare For Battle!

I think you're referring to the giant tusks that literally has a special that involves goring heroes?

Metal Gear Solid for life! I've taken a few inspirations from it, recently... It bears a good resemblance to a recently introduced character.

See, I own FF13, but I couldn't get past the first six hours. Too much clopping down straight pathways.

"Scared..." Punii rasps. "And to think, there is a dozen more *cough* of these... things... This will be the first time I've *wheeze* fought in the front lines, and it's against... that..."

"...I trust you. Just... As soon as we get out of this, we're sitting down and we have to talk about whatever the hell is going on. Fair?"

"What? You know what he's talking about...? Karie..." Masson's eyes look downcast, and his hand grasps his blade. "You consider yourselves food? How endearing." QM Note: I'll allow you folks a bit more prep time. "But you forget I've watched your kind for centuries. I've observed and judged humans for more than a millennium. I've passed my judgement, and I dare say it is more valid than yours. You act on impulse, and disgust. You fear that I'll destroy you and your kind. I had hope for humanity, once upon a time. That hope is gone."

The Ameoboss leans down and makes itself nearly eye level with Em. Em notices with disgust that, although it once appeared the beast had but one ye, it had dozens - all of them concealed under a blue gel. They writhe for a moment before focusing on Em. The beast hisses, Em hearing it speak through his ability as a Warden. <Kill or be killed. That is how Master's realm works.> "So it was you who took down Doppel. Intriguing. I paid a visit to the lab and found the workers dead and the Devil gone. It was about a week after I had paid a visit to the apartment of one purple-clad Paragon." Masson is taken aback, stammering out a reply. "Wh-what...?" "I wouldn't call them an army... More like... Cattle, shall I put it, for now. My title is not General. I created most of my own followers, and they were brought into this world for ther sole purpose of obeying me. Those who I didn't create, I tore apart and rebuilt as I saw fit. I am their Master, not their General, and I will do whatever I damn well please with my servants." "You may consider my behavior illogical, Jeaux, but it'd be equally illogical for me to tilt my hand, wouldn't it? I am beyond the point of sending puppets at you for the purpose of mere entertainment, really. What this Ameoboss is intended to do, well, I think that's for you to figure out. I said it was a welcoming gift. Nothing more, nothing less." "You lack vision, Erdathcath. What you see ahead of you is only the narrowsest of possibilities, and seem to be delibrately ignorant of the bigger picture. I am shooting for the complete genocide of a species, Erdathcath. I do not waste time. I do not waste resources on six or so measly humans if I lacked a reason. Perhaps the reason i'm so dismissive of you Heroicans is not that I consider you without use, but that you fail to realize that you are being used - even now. You're another tool in my arsenal, Erdathcath. I used you to dispose of Iris, and I can still detect the misery you felt after killing "poor Monolith." You mask your sadness and fear with bravado, druid. It's odd, really. Over the course of our numerous encounters, I have watched you go from a docile sapling to bloodthirsty Druid, always eager for a battle. You want to spill my blood, Erdathcath. You want to murder me, brutally. I never saw such a passion for ending another life in you, back in the Colony. Do you think that's not intentional on my part?"

"Boomingham, that's what *wheeze* an adult Progg looks like - The regret is a Progg." Punii notices Em's outstretched arm. "Yes, please." Punii scurries up Em's arm, perching on his shoulder. Masson slips his hood on, completing his Syndicate ensemble. "Let's go." In their rush to report to the top deck, the party bumps into a frenzied Armstrong. "He appeared to me too. I'll check the bottom deck, you folks get top!" The two groups part with a single, collective nod, the heroes clomping up the wooden steps to the top of the ship. There, The Regret stands, staring into the night sky. He turns to face the heroes. "It's a lovely night, isn't it? Look towards the horizon, heroes." The party looks where The Regret's bony claw was pointing. A small fleet of ships approach the Lonely Island. "I have many more guests coming to the Citadel than simply you, heroes. Though, I must confess, you are coming into my territory with the noblest of intenions, out of all of these people. Your goal is to kill me, isn't it? Futile, but endearing nonetheless. The rest? Just here to loot and raid whatever wonderful treasure lie inside my Citadel. A minority of them know me by name - most see me simply as a dragon, guarding his horde. But nonetheless, I'm afraid none of you are allowed to enter my Citadel. Tell me, heroes, have you ever heard of an item called the Lifespark? It's a raging inferno, containg primal, identity-less souls... The essence of life. It's an artifact that happens to be in my possession. I'm sure you've heard of the Ameobosses, have you not? They were not born into this world. They were created, by yours truly, from the Lifespark. By the night's end, I will consume each and every ember of the Lifespark, and I will have the power to erase the human plague from Olegaia - forever. But we're getting slightly off topic here, because as it turns out, the subject of Ameobosses is very much pertinent. I was the one who offed the beasts. They obeyed me absolutely even as I lined them up for their deaths. And I had my legions distribute them to coasts across Olegaia, in order to alert humankind of their demise. The corpses set the rumors of treasures ablaze. I have opened the floodgates, heroes, and now humans pour in worldwide to claim the treasures that lurk in the Citadel. But don't think I forgot the recipe to make the Ameobosses. The opposite, really." At that moment, the waters below the excelsus begin to bubble and churn. Waves form, making the boat rock back and forth. A geyser of water blasts outwards, and carries with it a horrible, scaly leviathan... An Ameoboss! It was a horrible creature, spindly arms contorlling massive waves. It's claws were sharp and gleaming, seemingly made of ice. It's two tusks gnaw on air, the beast billowing out a ear splitting roar. It towered over the heroes, casting a formidable shadow. "ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRGGGGHHHH!" "This time around, I made thirteen. One, as a welcoming gift to some of the more tenacious gnats that have opposed me. The other twelve are setting up a perimeter around my island as we speak. Soon, the last of the Treasure Hunter ships will pour in, and the Ameobosses will rise from the abyss and make a nigh impenetrable barrier. Any ship that tries to escape will be promptly crushed and sunk. So you see, heroes? There is no escape. You, and the thousands of other humans here in pursuit of riches are trapped. You're in my world now, Heroicans, and there is no way out. You're now what you should've been all those years ago... caged animals." How will the party respond?

That was a really well done puzzle, WBD.

Last I checked, no, I do not steal possessions from my brother.

Masson hurriedly gets into his clothes. "None other than The Regret... He wants us to report to the deck. Get dressed quick, ma cherie."

I was looking through the wiki and I found a reference to an enemy called the "Demon King of Chaos." When was this?! EDIT: Never mind, it was one of the 108 stars.

Boomingham opens the door, a cold aura suddenly flooding into their quarters. Some of the heroes recoil in silent horror and disgust. The silvery figure speaks calmly, but there was an unmistakable, cruel cadence in his words. "Heroes. Report to the top deck, if you'd be so kind." And with that, the being vanishes as quick as he arrived, a cloud of dark smoke billowing outwards from where he once stood. Sweat rolls down Masson's forehead. "Was that...?!" "The Regret..."

"Anyone leave any armor in the galley or anything? Maybe it's just one of the crew members giving us something back."

Masson rolls over and puts an arm around Karie. "Because one of his followers chose to brand and torment my wife." "Because he *wheeze* nearly totalled a city I lived in, made my species endangered, and sucked the soul out of my adoptive *cough* mother." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hours pass, some of the heroes managing to obtain some amount of sleep. Before long, a rapping on the door, causing the heroes to stir. "Can someone *yawn* get the door? I have no arms..."
