Endgame

Even better! Don't forget tripling the enemy's SP, though.

Easily fixable! Passive Specials: Cornered Prey is Deadly Prey: So-and-so loves the thrill of the hunt. When favored, his level increases by 8 and his SP triples.

"I'd like to see you try! Now that I have my ~Looovely Assistant~ -" The Apprentice says the last two words like some sort of game show host, doing a purposefully overdramatic gesture towards the brainwashed Karie. "It'll be a tad harder for you fools." QM Note: Thank you joeshmoe, fixed.

Round Six of the Final Battle! >Brickington VS The Apprentice (front): Hit (4+3=7-1=6 damage) >Arnulf VS Hissticuffs (back): Critical Hit (4x2=8+3=11/2=6 damage) >Em chugs a potion (back) >Karie VS The Apprentice (back): Special Damage (Swiped Senseless: Karie is hexed next round!) >Jeaux VS The Apprentice (back): Damage (7/2=4 damage) >Vipunch: Free Hit on Brickington (4-2=2 damage) The battle rages on. Brickington gets a clean hit on the Apprentice, the maniac dis shelved by his "partners"' demise. Arnulf stabs at Histicuffs with his dagger as Em squats in the back row, uncorking his last potion. The green brew soothes him as soon as it passes his lips, the seemingly magical concoction mending his wounds. For the first time, Karie attempts to take out the Apprentice. The rogue lashes out at the green-clad maniac in her anger, but misses. The Apprentice lunges at her with The Harvester, the blade connecting with Karie. In that instant, the spark of wit and life drained from Karie's eyes, only to be replaced by the dull sheen of obedience. She had been robbed of her common sense. The Apprentice puts his hand underneath Karie's chin to hold her head up and gently strokes Karie's hair, as if caressing his new thrall. The party looks in horrror at what had happened. "I told you there would come a day where you would enjoy my thrall, my dear." Karie can only stare blankly at the Apprentice, bewitched. "Now then, why don't you help me get these lab rats back into their cage." Karie's words are slow and mechanical. "...As you command, sir..." Karie stands rigid and turns to face the heroes, reaching for her dagger... Jeaux fires an arrow at The Apprentice in his rage, but his target dodges and stabs him with The Harvester. The Ranger crumples to the floor in pain, unconcious. The Apprentice laughs and Karie looks over the scene, emotionless and unfazed. "2 down!" The Apprentice, Level 7 Humanoid *Poisoned!* HP: 16/28 SP: 1 Specials: Rob Them Blind: Hits all heroes for 4 damage, stealing 5 gold from each. The hero who rolled Special Damag is Blinded for 3 rounds. Swiped Senseless: Steals the hero's common sense, Hexing them for the next round. Specials alternate.

Round Forty Two of the Fungeon Battle! >Punii mixes jellies: 25 damage to all enemies! >Alex heals Romulus (back): Heal More (10x2=20+18=38 HP healed) >Sylph casts Fragile on The Suffering (back): Failure! >Sylph casts Fragile on The Suffering (back): Failure! >Elgar seals Aerial Progg (back): Failure! >Romulus VS Progg X (back): Damage Critical Hit (21x2=42+13=55x2=110/2=55+4+2=61-3=58 damage, Combrys = WP: 22) >Galen VS Progg Y (back): Damage Damage (16/2=8 damage!) >Hal VS Crystalline Progg (front): Damage (24-3=21 damage) >Johon VS Progg Juggernaut (front): Hit Critical Hit (8x3=24+21=45x2=90-7=83 damage, 20 damage decay placed) >Galen VS Aerial Progg (back): Miss Shield: Mug (10x3=30+16=46x2=92-3=89 damage, 89 gold earned) >Johon VS The Suffering (back): Special Damage Special Damage (Javelin Toss: 35/2=18-5=13 damage, all positive effects removed, max HP -3) >The Suffering injects himself with a syringe: 2 is rolled: The Suffering is hastened next round! The party stands against their final few foes of this battle.The Suffering looms above the party, priiming another syringe. His presence proves intimidating to the heroes, throwing off their balance: Alex heals Romulus, but Sylph and Elgar fail to succesfully read the incantations on their scrolls. In one swift motion Romulus beheads one of the last Proggs, Combrys emitting a roar of power that echoes around the room. Galen chucks a wrench at a blue Progg, but the adroit creature grabs the wrench midair. The Progg yanks Galen towards him and delivers a harsh punch to the ribcage, sending the rogue staggering backwards. Hal assaults the Crystalline Progg, but the beast, in its desperation, knocks Hal out with a swift tail jab. Johon lands a mighty hit on the Progg Juggernaut. Galen mugs the Aerial Progg, the wrench snatching some gold from the flying beast. Johon rushes The Suffering, but the member of the Gladius Unit seems none too concerned. He casually lobs his javelin at Johon with a huge amount of speed, the projectile hitting Johon's windpipe and sending the raider to the floor. The Suffering swoops by, grabbing his spear and rejoining his comrades. He injects a syringe into his forearm, making him even strong then before... Enemies in the Final Area: "Far too easy. Even being the disgusting whelps you are, I expected more of a challenge from the people who tore through my forces. Come, "heroes", and show me the might of Heroica!" The Suffering, Level 28 Beast *Hastened!* HP: 858/875 SP: 8 Specials: Double Dose: Injects himself with two syringes at the end of the round. Cannot use the same syringe twice, but will always use two syringes. Javelin Skewer: Tosses his javelin at the hero who rolled Special Damage, doing 35 damage, removing all of their positive effects, and dropping their max health by 3 for the rest of the battle. Winged Death: Swoops past the entire party, doing 20 damage to the entire party. Specials decided by die roll. Immune to Sleep, Blindness, and Sealing!

Specials decided by die roll. If Special Damage is rolled when they have a prisoner, it will default to Air Raid. Drops: Nostrum Note: If at any time there are 6 Proggs present while the mob is still alive, those 6 Proggs will from into a Progg Mini Mob!

QM Note: I'll run when a battle order is given. "My family was dragged into crime out of neccesity. I entered it from want, desire. And with The Harvester, I could succeed where my parents failed, rob my foes senseless, erase myself from the memories of those around me and just sneak on by. This weapon, when complete, will be one of the criminal's greatest tools - and I and my master are the ones who shall wield it! You're right, my dear, I do enjoy hurting people. I enjoy hurting people very, very much." The Apprentice seems more deranged then ever before. He speaks in his insanity, slight chuckles and snickers mixed into his dialect. His sanity was very fragile, and oh-so-close to shattering...

Weren't birds meant to fly? "I have never seen anything like that before." I murmur. "Although, I get the inkling that the rider means us harm in some way. Anyone else feel the same?"

Round Five of the Final Battle! >Brickington VS The Apprentice (back): Critical Hit - this time, it'll actually land! (4x2=8+3=11/2=60-1=5 damage) >Arnulf VS Anacondie (back): Hit (4+3=7/2=4-1=3 damage) >Karie VS Anacondie (back): Shield: Mug (4x3=12+3=15/2=8-1=7 damage, 3 gold earned) >Em VS Anacondie Histicuffs (back): Damage (5/2=3 damage) >Jeaux VS Histicuffs (back): Special Damage (7/2=4 damage) >Vipunch: Free Hit on Brickington (4/2=2-2=0 damage) The final battle continues, Brickington once again standing toe to toe with the Apprentice. The Apprentice lunges at the knight with the Harvester, Brickington's sight jittering just being near the weapon. However, the armored hero draws his composure and scores a mighty swing on the demented fiend, drawing blood. Arnulf and Karie double team the gargantuan snake, Karie finishing it off with a swift stab up its mouth. Anacondie screechs and gives one lasrt sorrowful hiss before it keels over, crumbling into a heap of scales and blood. Em and Jeaux try to open fire on the enemies before them, but get pounced by the Apprentice's remaining snakes, the reptilian beats still eager to tear the heroes to shred. The Apprentice looks mournfully at Anacondie's bruised corpse, and turns to the heroes. His words laced with malice and anger, the Apprentice spits out: "That was my first snake. I knew him since I was 4. He was the one who helped me put bread on the table, survive in the hovels. We were partners. And you killed him." The Apprentice points the Harvester at the party. Although his eyes were obscured, the party can tell they were burning with hatred. "You despicable little lab rats will pay." "I will murder you all."

The battle rages on, drawing closer and closer to the end! The party batters the enemies before them, dishing out a constant stream of pain. Only Johon takes damage, a Progg brimming with lust parrying his sword and stabbing the raider in the chest with his tail. Galen lobs his wrench into the crowd, bruising the little Proggs left in the crowd. The mob seems to tighten and murmer, as if conversing about some matter. The whispering seems to cease for a moment, and the entire mob seems to explode outwards, the huge mob of Proggs dispelling and rushing the heroes full force. The Suffering takes to the sky, swooping above his forces. He twirls his spear, his eyes burning with a radiant blue light. He hovers near the gargantuan room's ceiling, quite nearly ready to strike. The taxing battle in the manor has reached its crescendo - it was time to finish this!! Enemies in the Final Area: "Are you ready, heroes?"

An imposter infinitely tougher? How would you like if I had swapped Rhodu's stats for the Death Progg's in 36?

QM Note: Sorry for the delay, guys - had to unpack! We should continue at a good pace now, cruising right to the finale. Round Four of the Final Battle! >Brickington VS The Apprentice (back): Critical Hit Miss (Again!) >Jeaux downs a potion (back) >Karie remedies herself (back) >Em VS Hissticuffs (back): Aim (2 damage) >Arnulf VS Anacondie (back): Shield: Mug (4x3=12+3=15/2=8-1=7 damage, 7 gold earned) >Vipunch: Free Hit VS Brickington (4/2-2=0 damage) The final battle with the snakes and their villanous owner continue. Brickington quite nearly gets another tremendous hit on The Apprentice, but he swiftly ducks under Brickington's flailing blade. Jeaux and Karie duck in the back row, healing themselves, while Em and Arnulf open fire on their foes. Vipunch goes up to bite Brickington, but pings harmlessly off of his armor. "Hrmph."

Wall of Text was one of his hidden passive specials, you must've missed it. Was it the Death Progg or Rhodus that was voted for? I realize that they are literally the exact same person, but Rhodus had the blade and torture session going for him... Basically, Death Progg battle cranked up to 11. Also, Punii got a second place friendly NPC? I didn't realize he had a following!

"Hah! You seem so sure of yourself, placing you and your posse of insects above an emperor! We shall see who is superior when you and I finally lock blades... but Eidolon will be your end."

"All this chatter is meaningless, anyway. Your actions count far more then your words, Raider. Trust me, I fully intend to maul you when the time comes. A quick death is far too good for you, anyway. I trust you've had some scrapes with other Gladius Unit members? They were excellent soldiers, if a bit odd. However, they were impromptu - I am the only one to have his origins in the army. I got to this rank by pure skill, heroes. Started as a mere lackey, and climbed the ladder all the way to the top. I may have had humble beginnings, but I dare say that I am a bit more powerful then the whelp I started out as. I have lived a life of discipline, and I fully intend to utilize my 500 years of training when the time comes. Do you think you'll be ready for me, heroes? Or will you just be brushed aside, crushed like all others who have locked swords with me?" The Suffering cackles, his eyes now blazing and his veins quite nearly visible from the shell. His wings fan out, bat like appendages that look swift and agile. In one hand he primes a syringe while in the other he wield a formidable scythe, droplets of blood sprinkled up and down the weapon. The party could tell he was a Progg of finesse, and one of the strongest foes they have encountered thus far. "I will take pleasure in destroying you, no doubt. If I do not wipe you off of the face of Olegaia, then surely my Emperor will! Gaahahahahahahhahaah!" Hal wipes some blood off of his visor and speaks gravely. "The Suffering is no laughing matter, heroes."

Guybrush Threepwood - Monkey Island, anyone? Love the reference, Sandy.

"Hah, there is far more from where that came from!" The rest of the mob - now much smaller in size, but formidable nonetheless - roars with laughter. "Just surrender, and your death shall be painless. Tempting offer, isn't it?"

QM Note: Ah, home sweet home... Meh, who am I kidding, I just traded in sun and 80 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 inches of snow with temperatures below freezing.

"Hm. If you notice, they alternate, barely inching forward... Then, there is a sudden stop and there is a small leap. Perhaps a frog, or maybe just a human with a jaunty walk. They are just too indistinguishable - shall we follow them and find out?"

This will be remedied! Woohoo! Amazing job on this, everyone - but especially Zepher, Waterbrickdown, and Cornelius Murdock for putting this show together. I apologize for any difficulty The Regret may have caused. Thanks to everybody who wrote those fantastic presentations, and the voters as well! Also, Rhodus and Aquos snagged first place - woot!

I'm flying back home early tommorrow morning, folks! It isn't a nonstop flight, so I probably won't be able to update until tomorrow afternoon. Heres hoping transit won't be so brutal!

Do scrolls have braille? I mean, they are blind, after all...

(Alex, Hal, Johon blinded)) >3 Proggs join the fray: Progg, Progg, Progg Archer The lengthy battle against the mob rages on. The taxing battle causes Punii's handiwork to falter, preventing him from making any jellies. Sylph heals Alex, but fails to seal the Crystalline Progg. Alex makes up for Sylph's shortcoming, and with a slash of his sword pierces the Crystalline Progg's tough armor and leaves a deep gash. Elgar blasts the weary Progg away with a ball of ice magic, the beast shivering itself to death. Galen scores a hit on the Artillery Progg as Romulus assaults the Crystalline progg. Combrys now roars and trembles with power, its might amplified by Romulus's skill. Galen flings his wrench into the Progg Mob, scratching a good number of Proggs in the ever shrinking mob. Hal and Johon team up to finish off the Artillery Progg. Johon, blood splattered on him from defeating the Artillery Progg, begins to rush the Crystalline Progg. The defensive expert evades with a swift barrel roll. Its quartz-esque shell seems to absorb all of the light in the room and release it in a dazzling flash, blinding 3 heroes. 3 Proggs split off rom the mob, looking wearier and wearier.

Round Three of the Final Battle! >Brickington VS The Apprentice (back): Critical Hit Miss >Jeaux VS Hissticuffs (back): Special Damage (7/2=4 damage) >Arnulf VS Anacondie (front): Critical Hit (4x2=8+3=11-1=10 damage) >Karie VS Cobrawler (back): Critical Hit (4x2=8+3=11/2=6 damage) >Em VS Vipunch (back): Special Damage (Rattle Rattle: All enemies regain 12 HP.) This round proves polarizing. Brickington takes a mighty swing in the direction of the Apprentice, but with his vision clouded by the Harvester's power, he misses. Jeaxus gets bludgeoned by the mighty purple snake, the reptile coiling up and sprining into the automaton. Its fangs leave a gash in the robotic ranger. Arnulf shoves his longsword right between the eyes of the massive Anacondie, leaving the serpentine beast near death. With a thrust of her dagger Karie soundly dispatched the Cobrawler, the contagious snake now just a scaly heap. Em provokes Vipunch nto rattling his tail, the sound invigorating his comrades - some of them being healed completely! Some of their progress was unfortunately reversed, but they were down one snake.
