Endgame

The solution is easy... Just kill more Lethauroses until you have a number of artifacts divisible by 5. In this case, you'd need to kill 4 more of the bastards.

"I'm wounded, but i can still take a shot from the Queen and keep on chugging. Keliim, call off Aristune and let me at the Queen!"

Better than just leaving some blacksmith and his kid with a helmet made from an extremely tough elder dragon.

...Someone take two, and offer repayment/redistribute the gold from the Lethauros fight?

Does he not have the Cobweb Cowl?

No love for the feet, I see.

Buy it off of them for huge amounts of cash.

Tastes like chicken.

"May the dragons set fire to your hearts and fly them away..." Throlar thrusts his spear between the eys of the dragon. His eyes widen, and his body jars, before he falls still. He lays there, his roar silenced, dead. "The score is settled. Thank you, heroes. I'll... I suppose I'll head back to Eubric along with you." The dragon slain, the party begin their walk back. ----------------------------------------------- <So you're telling me it was a dragon.> says Jin, as he steps away from the elderly biologist. <A dead dragon, now. You... have my thanks. And thank you for returning my boys to my. Ogo, Oro, how was your adventure?> <There was a crazy dude that looked like the other crazy dude and...> <There was a dragon and he went RAWR RAWR and the ground went BOOM BANG CRASH and...> <They'll be yapping on forever, I bet...> Gregory shuffles out of the brush beyond Jin. "I thought he was gonna eat me for sure... let's get out of here." ------------------------------------------------- The party head back to where the quest first started. Gregory escorts himself back to the academy, while Miller stands off to the side, silent and contemplative. They meet back up with Manny and his father... "First off, whatever the hell you just went through, I apologize that my son got you mixed up in it." "But daaad! We needed to see what the sky rock was-" "No buts! You don't endanger other people! Now, I was told he promised you some blacksmith work... I think you deserve it. Anything you'd like done?" The party shows him the pile of parts obtained from Lethauros. The blackmsith's eyes widen. "Are those... from some sort of huge monster?" "...Dragon parts. Never thought I'd see the day, never thought I'd get to... Come on, heroes. We have equipment to forge." They head to the smith shop. A few hours later, a new set of armor emerges from the smith's shop... Legendary armor crafted from the hide of an ancient dragon. Wear it, and wield the dragon's boundless power... Lethauros Mask: A dignified helm, the sound of The Ancestor's roar still echoing within. As your eyes gaze through it, all you see is prey to be hunted. SP: 2. While equipped, the wearer does double damage to Beasts and Vermin. Suitable to anyone, Headwear. Lethauros Mail: SP: 4. Prismatic armor bright enough to banish darkness. You can feel the dragon watching you as your continue on your journey, aiding you in your hunt. The wearer takes half damage from Demon and Dark type enemies. Suitable for anyone, bodywear. Lethauros Enforcers: Brutal claws that seek to enforce the only true law of the wild: hunt or be hunted. Each turn, the power bonus from the Enforcers increases by one, starting at zero. The power resets to zero after the battle ends. Suitable for anyone, handwear. Lethauros Crushers: Lethauros was said to be able to crush boulders to oblivion and bring the sky crashing down with a single stomp. Now, you may do the same. While equipped, the wearer does double damage to Rock and Flying type enemies. Suitable for anyone, footwear. Lethauros Fellwings: Brilliant white wings that brought The Ancestor into battle a thousand times, and flew him away victorious a thousand more. SP: 3, and makes the wearer immune to Sudden Death. Suitable to anyone, backwear. Lethauros Ring: An ivory ring that seems to contain the eye of Lethauros. A wizened discipline and a deadly savagery lie within; together, they are supremacy. Health and Ether +5. Suitable for anyone, accessory. Manny approaches the heroes sheepishly. "I, uh, didn't know you'd have to face a dragon and stuff. And I'm sorry you got hurt. But at least you got some sweet armor, right? And here's your pay! If there's one thing I'm sure of, the quest is successful, yup!" QM Note: Final loot distribution will be here shortly, but the quest is complete! Please leave any comments/criticism in the QM's lounge, and I hope you enjoyed this quick romp through nature.

That, TCM, is exactly how you break a game. I think you'll like the artifacts that will be dropped, though. (They were pre-approved, so don't expect anything too nuts)

OOC: I'm targeting Oasis Viper, not the Golden Vipers, Mencot...

Just a little bit longer and you'll be able to see Lethauros's sweet boss loot in its full form.

"As you wish, dwarven knight. Let this hunt reach it's conclusion..." Lethauros runs his tail through the ground, carving a scar into the earth. "One way or another." Round Five Versus The Lethal Legend: >Vindsval uses a Grand Potion on Annienal (back) >Vindsval remedies Warlen (back) >Annienal uses a Potion on Warlen (back) >Throlar VS Lethauros Tail (back): Damage (48/2=24-12=12 damage) >Throlar VS Lethauros Windpipe (back): Hit (20+14=34/2=17 damage) >Warlen VS Lethauros (back): Special Damage Hit (6+16=22x4=88 damage) >Warlen VS Lethauros Wings (back): Special Damage Shield: Magic Burst (6+16=22x4=88 damage) >Annienal downs a Mead (back) >Sylph heals Throlar (back): Greater Heal (10x2=20+26=46 HP healed) >Miller VS Lethauros Tail (back): Critical Hit (12x2=24+15=39x3=117 damage) >Poe VS Lethauros Tail: 25 damage Round Six Versus The Lethal Legend: >Annienal VS Lethauros Briartail (front): Critical Hit (18x2=36+14=40x2=80 damage) ... Lethauros, staggered and bleeding, lets out one final horrifica howl before taking to the skies. Annienal looks up, the battered dragon's glow still magnificent. He begins his ferocious descent, hurtling towards Annienal like a meteor. The elf just barely rolls out of the way, and with a slash of her sword, sever's the beast's tail clean from its body. The pain proves too much, and the dragon fails its graceful landing, landing with a horrific crunch His head whips around one last time, inhaling to unleash a devastating roar, before Annie strikes him again,quite nearly cleaving out one of his eyes. Lethauros lifts his scarred face to the heavens and roars one last time, before collapsing to the floor, defeated. Throlar and Annienal had finally passed a knight's rite of passage, and had slain a dragon... They felt ready to tackle a new class as a result. The Ancestor has Fallen. Party Leader, please distribute the loot: 250 gold Underdeveloped Organ: An organ obtained from the body of the Lethauros, still not fully grown despite the many millenia it has lived. Puncturing it emits an ominous black smoke... (Roleplay Item) Elder Eye, Prismatic Scale, Lethal Spike, Ancient Claw, Ivory Carapce, White Hide: Parts from the luminous Ancestor. Useless now, but with a blacksmith's touch, perhaps the dragon's power could live on?

The Elder stirs, utterly defeated, looking at the heroes with a great respect burning in his old eyes. "Bravo... Bravo. You've... fought well."

I can hardly grab onto the elctric staff as the horrible lizards begin swarming out from the woodwork. "Aristune, ya got a point. The most discipline I've ever shown off is when i painted a barn. But we have tenacity, and courage probably and hopefully that'll be enough to get us out of this mess alive. And if not, well... hopefully I'm chewy enough that these dragons won't eat me. Gulp." I attack the Oasis Viper A with a slash of Wind Magic from the back row.

Your concept is good luck is one I don't like...

Update in a couple of hours, 134ers. I have a fever. (Why do I always get sick during boss fights??)

"It is as I warned you. I am neither a wise nor majestic creature - merely a vicious one."

"Let's move the handles down and then move South."

Sylph manages to summon the roots of life, the healing vines darting into the courtyard. Shortly after, the dragon brings down his feet with a crushing blow, making the earth scream and tremor. The disoriented Warlen unleashes a blitz f darkness, only to lethauros to retaliate with his dazzling light. Warlen gazes at the dragon and feels his eyes burn, the mage forced to look away before his mind became overwhelmed. The party deals some damage, only for Lethauros' serpentine head to whip towards Annienal. He breathes in, and with a roar strong enough to bring down the walls of the courtyard they were in, blasts Annienal clear acorss the courtyard. The knight lands with a gruesome crunch. Fortunately, that roar drains his other, and he fails to unleash his party wide attack. "It isn't over til' one of us draws our last breath - and I'llbe damned if my roar won't be heard around the world for a millenia more!" Lethauros, Level 64 Ancient *Poison 21!* Immune to Hexed!

Negative effects will work as normal, and will not be healed away when the windpipe regenerates its HP. Is defeated when the rest of Lethauros falls. Drops: Lethal Spike Lethauros Prismwings, Level 44 Light *Poison 21!* HP: 106/425 Specials: Forbidden Enlightment: Lethauros' brilliant light is too much for the hero who rolled special damage to bear.

Yep, Armstrong sailed the heroes back, and is currently safe and sound somewhere in Eubric. Alatreon is off doing dragony things.

"I'm not sure about that connection, leader, but... Maybe the solution to this does lurk later in here. Let's move South. How d'you think that relates to the handles, though...?"

I'm guessing that could be arranged? All I know is that you guys deserve the loot.

QM Note: Alright then, understood.

After several blows, it is Miller who plunges an arrow through the claws of the beast. His hands made brittle by the ages and the party's blows, they shatter, remvoing them from the battle. "Even if we do lose... That's an injury you won't ever be recovering from. Consider it payback." "You fight from rage. A true hunter holds passion for his prey." "Don't think I don't respect you.

I haven't had a place to fit Masson in without it seeming shoehorned, but hes still very much alive. Moping around, lonely and depressed, but alive. Knox's fate is basically: If anyone wants to use him, alive and scarred. If nobody wants to use him, dead. Basically, he's in limbo - if someone took a liking to him, use him. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Two things about the ending (one thing that's not important and the other very much is): -There was originally going to be a plot point that an Ameoboss tore the swift sail, making the journey back 6-7 months long. Obviously, this can be handwaved. -What's more relevant to you, and something I remembered today going through some of my PMs: The Reaper's Heart was supposed to be tradeable with the Sand Queen when you returned for a Letter of Recommendation and a Level Up Mushroom, and this was cleared by Sandy - sort of a reward for sticking with me through all of that (often messy) quest. It was approved under the name of the Crystal of Clairvoyance, but it's basically the same item renamed for thematic reasons. We may have to defer this one to Sandy, but I'm personally of the belief you should get the loot that technically dropped from that final battle.

QM Note: So are you saying Warlen should do a physical attack? I don't even know if that's been done before...
