Endgame

QM Note: Just need an action from Thormanil before I can run.

"I already almost killed your husband once, you know. I wonder how well you would do without him? Still in the honeymoon phase, or growing kinda sick of him yet?" As the flames of the Incense surround Gabriel, his eyes shoot open and he inhales sharply. With a vindictive look on his voice, he staggers up and grabs his handcannon off the ground. His look softens when he sees Jinnipher's hysteria and rage. "I gotta stop scaring you like that, hon." QM Note: Actions for Gabriel/Masson?

Gabriel does not respond to Jinnipher moving him. Blood trickled out of the nape of his neck, where he was struck - he had an incredibly faint pulse, and was hardly breathing. "Not getting away with it, huh? Heh, we'll see. You don't even have the courtesy to revive your fallen. If I keep thinning you out like this, you'll be erased with your city in due time. Eubric's existence has been denied, heroes." Charon looks at Siercon's attempts to clip his wings with mild annoyance. "Aw, c'mon, really? I just had to sew 'em back on a couple of millenniums ago."

I was hesitant to include it, but it fits Charon's personality and method of fighting far too well.

Versus Charon, Round Two >Karie tosses a Fire Bomb >Vindsval tries to heal Gabriel (back): No heal >Arthur uses an Elixir on Karie (back) >Vindsval tries to heal Gabriel (back): No heal >Arthur throws a Stun Bomb (back) >Siercon VS Wing B (ethereal opal) (front): Special Damage (Stunned! Nothing happens) >Siercon VS Wing B (ethereal opal) (front): Critical Hit (14x2=28+21=49+10=59x2=108 damage, Fragile inflicted) >Thormanil throws a water bomb (back) >Thormanil throws a water bomb (back) >Jinnipher VS Charon (back): Hit (14+5=19x2=38 damage, no redirect, no enamored) >Jinnipher VS Charon (back): Critical Hit (Redirected towards Gabriel! 14/2=7-4=3 damage) >Masson VS Wing B (front): Hit (20+30=50x2=100 damage) >Masson VS Wing B (front): Miss >Charon does not enter a stance A flurry of bombs decimate Charon's blades. Vindsval fails to heal the sniper, the constant blasts interrupting his focus. Siercon quite nearly gets struck down by the wing he is targetted, but it was still spasming from the Stun Bomb's blast. He follows up with a frigid dagger slash. Jinnipher takes another succesful swing at Charon, poisoning him even more, but her second swing goes awry. Realizing he does not have the needed agility to dodge, Charon instead tears open a portal in the lunging Jinnipher's direction. The moon elf thrusts her sword forward, and instead of planting it in Charon's abodomen, she suddenly finds herself behind the party, with her blade stuck in the back of a man with a white cape and brown hair. He seizes up for a second as the blow registers, before collapsing over - it was Gabriel. Masson watches his brother go down, and in retribution, hacks away at one of Charon's wings. The battle rages on! "Making this a fist fight? Heh. Alright..." Charon, Level ??? (Equal to attacking hero's x3) Humanoid *Hastened!* *Can Redirect Attacks!* *Fragile! 2 rounds remaining!* *Poison 18!* *Bleeding 9!* *Immune to Instant Kill, Minimized, Blinded, Hexed, and Sealed!* HP: 4177/4444 Specials: Death's Touch: Charon inflicts Impending Doom on 3 random heroes. Unseen Might: Charon uses some sort of unseen force to make the hero who rolled Special Damage collide with the hero below them in the battle order. They take damage to the other hero's level x2. If there is no person below the hero in the battle order, they are slammed into ground for damage equal to their own level x2. Fatal Blow: Charon uses a portal to get behind the hero who rolled Special Damage and bludgeons them in the back of the head, instantly knocking them out. Specials decided randomly. Passive Specials: Death Lingers: Rolls of damage and free hits have a 1/2 chance of inflicting Impending Doom. Redirect: Attacks on any part of Charon have a 1/6 1/3 chance of being redirected to any random hero via portal. Redirected attacks cause damage equal to the attacking hero's level to the new target. Stance - Striker: At the end of every round, Charon has a 1/6 chance of entering Striker stance at the end of every round, lasting for one round. All parts have their level halved while in stance, but he will then use portals to disregard Row for all rolls of damage/free hits from any part of him while in Striker stance. (Has no effect on Redirects.) Stance - Piercer: At the end of every round, Charon has a 1/6 chance of entering Piercer stance at the end of every round, lasting for one round. All parts have their level halved while in stance, but he will then use portals to disregard SP for all rolls of damage/free hits from any part of him while in Piercer stance. (Has no effect on Redirects.) Portal Clones: Every 3 rounds from now, Charon will create another duplicate of any remaining body parts he still has. Duplicates will always have the stats of the current duplicate. Killing the main body of a duplicate destroys everything associated with it, and killing the main body of the true Charon ends the battle. Drops: Phoenix Incense, Fenghuang Incense, Arc Mead x3, Scroll of Frailty, Stygian Blade Wing A, Level 88 Flying/Humanoid *Blinded! 2 rounds remaining* *Poison 3!* HP: 527/600 Specials: Skybound Strike: Charon leaps into the air and plunges at the hero who rolled Special Damage, reducing them to 1 HP and nullifying their positive effects. Passives: Quickness: As long as Wing A is active, Charon, the Stygian Blade, and the Edge of Eschaton are all Hastened. Wing B, Level 88 Flying/Humanoid *Blinded! 2 rounds remaining* *Poison 4!* *Fragile! 3 rounds remaining* HP: 255/600 Specials: Skybound Strike: Charon leaps into the air and plunges at the hero who rolled Special Damage, reducing them to 1 HP and nullifying their positive effects. Passives: Swiftness: As long as Wing B is active, Charon's chance of dodging and redirecting an attack increase by 1/6. Charon Duplicate, Level ??? (Equal to attacking hero's x3) Humanoid *Immune to Instant Kill!* HP: 1091/1111 Specials: Unseen Might: Charon uses some sort of unseen force to make the hero who rolled Special Damage collide with the hero below them in the battle order. They take damage to the other hero's level x2. If there is no person below the hero in the battle order, they are slammed into ground for damage equal to their own level x2. Fatal Blow: Charon uses a portal to get behind the hero who rolled Special Damage and bludgeons them in the back of the head, instantly knocking them out. Specials decided randomly. Passive Specials: Death Lingers: Rolls of damage and free hits have a 1/2 chance of inflicting Impending Doom. Wing Duplicate A, Level 88 Flying/Humanoid HP: 130/150 Specials: Skybound Strike: Charon leaps into the air and plunges at the hero who rolled Special Damage, reducing them to 1 HP and nullifying their positive effects. Wing Duplicate B, Level 88 Flying/Humanoid HP: 130/150 Specials: Skybound Strike: Charon leaps into the air and plunges at the hero who rolled Special Damage, reducing them to 1 HP and nullifying their positive effects.

QM Note: Will Vindsval be using his second attack to do anything else, now that he is not tonicing Karie? "Y-you... Are okay, right, Karie?" says a concerned, equally out of breath Masson. At first it seemed that his shortness of breath was also a side effect of Death's Touch, but Karie notices that he has a bloody mark where Charon skewered him, right near a lung...

My battles are typically designed to be "If you have a good strategy, you can handle them with ease, if you don't, they will stomp all over you", so maybe my philosophy is finally working. Or maybe I just made this one too easy.

QM Note: Right, I included Karie hastening herself in the chant, which is not possible. I believe it's 7 ether due to her scroll cast, though. "I don't have your magic Heroica voodoo. I'd rather not die against this guy. He might be the one who paddles my soul off to hell, heh." "Nah, that gig ended a couple aeons back, don't sweat it."

QM Note: Poison damage has been added, no enamored was applied unfortunately, Arthur's free hit against him has been negated, and an extra wing that appeared on Charon's duplicate that none of y'all caught has been deleted from the battle. "I'll try, hon." says Gabriel, gritting his teeth.

I like how you said that before the big battle reveal, too.

Karie starts the battle with casting a Scroll of Frailty, before singing a Lucky Chant. Charon stabs Thormanil with his swift but compartively weak Stygian Blade. Realizing this, on Thormanil's next attack, he opens a portal as the dragoon rushes him, tricking him into slashing at Gabriel's chest. Arthur locks blades with Charon, dulling the Edge of Eschaton. As Vindsval gets Masson back on his feet, Charon soars over Lind and with a single telekinectic sweep, launches the Black Knight at a wall, knocking him out. A determined Jinnipher slashes at Charon twice, inflicting a solid amount of wounds and poison damage on him. The burst of Siercon's bomb further poisons Charon as he launches into the air and skewers a surprised Gabriel, who was trying desperately to get a good aim on the archangel's wings. Masson seems invigorated, and goes into two Frenzies, doing good damage to Charon and severely dulling both of his blades. Charon laughs. "Man, you guys are pretty good! If Strivus wasn't such a damn busy body, guarding the border with those golems of his, he could team up with me and we could have some real fun. Still... Just myself and I. On an unrelated note, you guys got any idea what happens when a portal has one entry and two exits? One of Charon's all too familar portals opens in front of him, with two other portals on other side. He leaps into the main portal... And a Charon emerges from each exit. He duplicated himself! "LIke I said... Just myself and I." The battle rages on! Charon, Level ??? (Equal to attacking hero's x3) Humanoid *Hastened!* *Can Redirect Attacks!* *Fragile! 3 rounds remaining!* *Poison 13!* *Bleeding 6!* *Immune to Instant Kill, Minimized, Blinded, Hexed, and Sealed!* HP: 4218/4444 Specials: Death's Touch: Charon inflicts Impending Doom on 3 random heroes. Unseen Might: Charon uses some sort of unseen force to make the hero who rolled Special Damage collide with the hero below them in the battle order. They take damage to the other hero's level x2. If there is no person below the hero in the battle order, they are slammed into ground for damage equal to their own level x2. Fatal Blow: Charon uses a portal to get behind the hero who rolled Special Damage and bludgeons them in the back of the head, instantly knocking them out. Stygian Strike: With a flurry of stabs from the Stygian Blade, Charon attacks 3 random heroes. They all take damage equal to their level, and lose 10 max HP each. (Can only be used when the Stygian Blade is intact.) Siphon Stab: Charon stabs the hero who rolled Special Damage with the Edge of Eschaton, doing 50 damage. He also transfers their positive effects to him, which last 1 round. (Can only be used when the Edge of Eschaton is intact.) Stygian Spellblade Spin: Charon unleashes a flurry of strikes going down the list of conscious heroes, each strike doing 40 damage, disregarding SP.

Redirect: Attacks on any part of Charon have a 1/6 1/3 chance of being redirected to any random hero via portal. Redirected attacks cause damage equal to the attacking hero's level to the new target. Stance - Striker: At the end of every round, Charon has a 1/6 chance of entering Striker stance at the end of every round, lasting for one round. All parts have their level halved while in stance, but he will then use portals to disregard Row for all rolls of damage/free hits from any part of him while in Striker stance. (Has no effect on Redirects.) Stance - Piercer: At the end of every round, Charon has a 1/6 chance of entering Piercer stance at the end of every round, lasting for one round. All parts have their level halved while in stance, but he will then use portals to disregard SP for all rolls of damage/free hits from any part of him while in Piercer stance. (Has no effect on Redirects.) Portal Clones: Every 3 rounds from now, Charon will create another duplicate of any remaining body parts he still has. Duplicates will always have the stats of the current duplicate. Killing the main body of a duplicate destroys everything associated with it, and killing the main body of the true Charon ends the battle.

"P-please..." says Masson, his body trembling. A grim looking black mist was pouring out from his wound. "So... Cold..." Gabriel looks at his brother with horror. "That's Death's touch for you." QM Note: Blinded does not stop passive specials, meaning that the rest of his body will remain hastened. They will need to be destroyed to stop the passive. Just need a battle order/actions for Karie!

QM Note: Random roll for all, good catch.

First one, I imagine. Charon is thinking with portals!

"Listen. I'm not really looking forward to fighting you guys. But if you insist..." Charon poises himself as if he's a bout to charge... but suddenly steps back into a portal. Before the party knows it, he's lunging at them from behind with his giant saber. Masson takes the blow, seemingly directed at Karie. Masson gasps in pain but somehow manages to stay on his feet. Charon warps back to his original position, brandishing both of his blades. "This is for Telethia." Prepare For The Penultimate Battle! Charon, Level ??? (Equal to attacking hero's x3) Humanoid *Hastened!* *Can Redirect Attacks!* *Immune to Instant Kill, Minimized, Blinded, Hexed, and Sealed!* HP: 4444/4444 Specials: Death's Touch: Charon inflicts Impending Doom on 3 random heroes. Unseen Might: Charon uses some sort of unseen force to make the hero who rolled Special Damage collide with the hero below them in the battle order. They take damage to the other hero's level x2. If there is no person below the hero in the battle order, they are slammed into ground for damage equal to their own level x2. Fatal Blow: Charon uses a portal to get behind the hero who rolled Special Damage and bludgeons them in the back of the head, instantly knocking them out. Stygian Strike: With a flurry of stabs from the Stygian Blade, Charon attacks 3 random heroes. They all take damage equal to their level, and lose 10 max HP each. (Can only be used when the Stygian Blade is intact.) Siphon Stab: Charon stabs the hero who rolled Special Damage with the Edge of Eschaton, doing 50 damage. He also transfers their positive effects to him, which last 1 round. (Can only be used when the Edge of Eschaton is intact.) Stygian Spellblade Spin: Charon unleashes a flurry of strikes going down the list of conscious heroes, each strike doing 40 damage, disregarding SP. The number of strikes is decided by the combined roll of two dice. (Can only be used when both blades are intact.) Specials decided randomly. Passive Specials: Death Lingers: Rolls of damage and free hits have a 1/2 chance of inflicting Impending Doom. Redirect: Attacks on any part of Charon have a 1/6 1/3 chance of being redirected to any random hero via portal. Redirected attacks cause damage equal to the attacking hero's level to the new target. Stance - Striker: At the end of every round, Charon has a 1/6 chance of entering Striker stance at the end of every round, lasting for one round. All parts have their level halved while in stance, but he will then use portals to disregard Row for all rolls of damage/free hits from any part of him while in Striker stance. (Has no effect on Redirects.) Stance - Piercer: At the end of every round, Charon has a 1/6 chance of entering Piercer stance at the end of every round, lasting for one round. All parts have their level halved while in stance, but he will then use portals to disregard SP for all rolls of damage/free hits from any part of him while in Piercer stance. (Has no effect on Redirects.) ???: Revealed at the end of round 1... Drops: Phoenix Incense, Fenghuang Incense, Arc Mead x3, Scroll of Frailty, Stygian Blade Wing A, Level 88 Flying/Humanoid HP: 600/600 Specials: Skybound Strike: Charon leaps into the air and plunges at the hero who rolled Special Damage, reducing them to 1 HP and nullifying their positive effects. Passives: Quickness: As long as Wing A is active, Charon, the Stygian Blade, and the Edge of Eschaton are all Hastened. Wing B, Level 88 Flying/Humanoid HP: 600/600 Specials: Skybound Strike: Charon leaps into the air and plunges at the hero who rolled Special Damage, reducing them to 1 HP and nullifying their positive effects. Passives: Swiftness: As long as Wing B is active, Charon's chance of dodging and redirecting an attack increase by 1/6. Stygian Blade, Level 40 Ancient *Hastened!* *Immune to Blindness and Sealing!* Durability: 7 (goes down 1 for every hit) Specials: Shredding Sweep: Charon uses the Stygian Blade to stab 3 random heroes for 30 damage each, and makes them all Fragile. Parry: Charon knocks the attacking hero's weapon out of their hand and impales them with the Stygian Blade, dealing 40 damage and Bleeding 10. The knocked away weapon must be retrieved in order to use it again. Specials decided randomly. Edge of Eschaton, Level 140 Ancient *Hastened!* *Immune to Blindness and Sealing!* Durability: 7 Portal Stab: Charon stabs the Edge of Eschaton through a portal, allowing him to disregard row and deal 110 damage. Crushing Smash: Charon uses the Edgeof Eschaton like a club, brining it smashing down on the head of the hero who rolled Special Damage. That hero takes 130 damage and is permanently Confused for the rest of the battle. Specials decided randomly.

The party sets off for the Judgment Hall. They weave through the ivory columns and arches of the neighboring foyer, and the hush of the Silent Hall leaves them ot their increasingly dire thoughts. They could almost still hear the rain and thunder cascading upon Eubric... Finally, they reach the Judgment Hall. Charon was waiting there. Siercon had been here once before. He walked through this path, watched by Immortalis, the huge blue basins of fire making the pillars cast imposing shadows. With the huge stained glass windows looming over them, it seems as if his room was designed to both astonish and intimidate. The latter certainly applied, with the archangel lurking there. "I think we've all been having a pretty rotten day, huh? You've been under a lot of stress, my girlfriend is dead, poor Masson's HQ burnt down, my friend was revealed as a traitor... Honestly, only one of my grievances are your fault, and while a lot of yours have us to blame. So I really do apologize. But let's not dwell on that. We have other, more important, matters on the table. Immortalis usually makes me vow not to kill, to hold back. My powers are... Lethal, even to the touch. I have never told you just what archangel I was before I suffered my fall, did I? Well..." Charon lifts his cane, which was always a suspicious tool - he didn't need it for walking. And yet, as he lifts himself to full height, the party realizes for the first time how imposing his stature was. Without hunching over his cane, he was easily seven feet tall. He draws a finger across the walking stick, and the oak rod hardens into a steel black... before an ethereal blade erupts from it, brimming with power. With a flick of his other wrist, a scimitar appears in his left hand. His whole body, even his helmet, seems to shimmer and change, revealing his true form... "I wonder how well you will do against a former Archangel of Death?"

The compass needle wavers a bit, before pointing towards the Judgment Corridor.

"I hope you all know your way back to the hall. I can't see a damn thing in this storm..." And indeed they did. The heroes - the Falconer, especially - were able to navigate the stormcloaked roads of Eubric. All of them were empty, only the sharp torrents of rain and the rushing heroes populating them. As they look at their surroundings - the shroud of the night and the shadow of the black storm clouds making everything black - they realize this could very well be the last time they ever see the cities. The coherence of their thoughts is interrupted by a nonstop series of lightning bolts and thunder. The pitter-patter of the rain was drowned out by the sky's terrible roar, and the ghostly streets were illuminated by cracks of lightning that went off every second. Finally, they arrive back at the Hall. Judging by the distinct lack of any sort of mob, it seems Charon upheld his end of the bargain. "Falconer. Good to see you in one piece." "Agreed. We have a job to do now. Lets not waste any more time." The Falconer and the Dragonlord hurry the heroes back into an obscure chamber in the hall. Much like the streets of Eubric, even the hall seemed like it was flooded with darkness. The streaks of rain outside increasing their urgency, the assembled veterans combine their strength... And tear open a portal. It was a flickering and fleeting thing. It lacked the perfect structure Charon's did - it burnt and danced like a flame, and stuttered as erratically as a candle in a storm. Still, it would have to do. This was their passage to the final battle. "For the safety of Eubric... Go!" The party steps through, and find themselves back in Eschaton. "Never seen this piece of Eschaton before. You guys know the place, right? You know where we're going?" Where would the party go in order to confront Charon and Immortalis?

Masson seems to visibly relax when Karie answers in the affirmative. His grip was tight, as if there was a chance his wife might be torn away from him, and his hand refused to stop shaking. The Empath Glass, in its upgraded form, was reacting, but it was hard to tell in what way without glancing at it.

"Charon will be good practice for that, then." Gabriel smiles back, pats her on the back firmly, and beings to make his way out of the alley and towards the Hall.

"I can't blame you. The battles are enough. And let's not forget who we still have to fight. I've been afraid of what Charon has up his sleeve since I met him in Moone. And there is, well, Immortalis." The sniper realizes that Jinnipher probably doesn't want to hear that. "It is complicated regardless, though. We're doing the right thing. I will never accept the destruction of an entire city to be correct. It wasn't right back in Moone, and nothing has changed now. Just a little more is all you need. Then we can find a nice bottle to chug and a nice warm bed and we can figure things out when there is not a hurricane threatening to kill us all." "...Jinnipher. You okay after the Nephilim thing?"

"...You did the right thing, hon." Masson offers Karie his hand. "Not Immortalis's style. Besides, with Miirym there... Well. Arx is fine."

So having a Minstrel makes it impossible for the Dancer to take damage?
