Yep. They're still chanting.Shatari said:
No idea, honestly. It'd be a greater challenge if you had one single character though (and it wasn't the Enchanter, presumably), even with Karunaz in tow. As for the three turns... With a little (bad) luck it should take more than that. Karunaz has only one attack, and 9d6-5 is 26.5 damage on average. 5 armour can also potentially absorb a nemesis bolt (sufficiently so that you don't one-shot their 30 HP, I mean), and should be pretty resilient to arrows.Xardob said:
All right then, let's see how this goes. The initiative order is Karunaz -> Trickster -> Sage -> Warrior/Enchanter, the battle order is Warrior -> Karunaz -> Enchanter -> Sage -> Trickster.
The Trickster used one special and one normal arrow; Mentok used two arrows. There really isn't any time to try and retrieve arrows though.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure that without the Horn of Heroes you'd only have three rounds to kill them all, which might actually be a little challenging...
There is insufficient power in the Summoning spell for the Magi to manifest themselves. The unearthly music from the Five Stars becomes a cacophony, building in pitch until it is audible only as an ethereal shriek. Suddenly the Stars explode in a shower of prismatic sparks. For a moment you fancy you glimpsed the faces of giants against the sky - faces contorted in expressions of ultimate horror. Then there is only silence and the stillness of the night. You watch the glowing debris from the Five Stars fall and go out in the darkness like dying embers.
You turn to go, but as you reach the staircase a blue radiance flares up behind you. 'You are quick to write off your oldest foe...' whispers an unearthly voice.
You spin around, chilled to the marrow of your bones. 'Blue Moon...'
'Magus Tor,' corrects the manifestation before you. It is like a tall robed shadow, glowing with pallid blue light around a core of cold blackness. 'By dint of your efforts, my brethren have been destroyed. No matter. I remain, and now the millennium that is to come will be ushered in by me alone.'
For a moment you are too stunned to do anything. 'How did you survive?' you gasp. 'The spell of reincarnation was disrupted. We saw the Stars explode...'
'I shall delight in explaining my victory,' replies Magus Tor, 'as my explanation will be the last thing you hear in this life.' His voice, you notice, is getting stronger, and the blue light radiating from his shadowy form is getting brighter. 'In truth I was destroyed with the others. But I was able to create this virtual self, this phantasm you see before you. Momentarily I exist only as an illusion - but mine is the power to turn illusion into reality!'
'He lives only in our imagination,' says Karunaz. 'Our minds are his gateway to the world! If we die before he can convert his illusory self into reality, he will be destroyed.'

Do you wish to DO what Karunaz seems to be suggesting, or are you not prepared to sacrifice yourself without a FIGHT?

All right then!Like the Blood Sword, the Sword of Death confers bonuses of +3 to Fighting Prowess and +2 Dice to damage. If it wounds an undead creature, the creature is immediately subject to a Psychic attack which will destroy it if it fails to resist.
Additionally, if you are the Warrior and are also armed with the Blood Sword, the two together have a synergetic effect. While wielding both swords, you can add three to your Psychic Ability and double your Endurance score. If you strike an undead creature (including one of the Magi) with both swords in the same Round, the creature must roll equal to or under its Psychic Ability on four Dice or be instantly destroyed. These special powers, though, are gained only if you are the Warrior and are able to use both swords simultaneously.

'It is futile to oppose me,' says the Magus. 'You have no hope of victory now.'
You spit. 'Victory or defeat are irrelevant. Opposing your evil is the only purpose. That long agobecame the only thing that mattered.'
'I almost pity you,' he says with an icy laugh. 'Your quest has transformed you into as much a creature of Fate as I.'
He can hurl cyanic Mirage-Bolts that count as Blasting spells, inflicting seven Dice damage (less armour) on a single target. He does not have to roll to cast these. Naturally he will concentrate the Mirage-Bolts on a player holding the Blood Sword, but if this player is a Warrior he or she will take only half damage from the bolts. Each Round, add one to Magus Tor's Psychic Ability and
All right then. Initiative order is Tor -> Karunaz -> Trickster -> Sage -> Warrior/Enchanter. Battle order doesn't really matter. What's the plan? Everyone except the Enchanter rush in and hit him with everything you've got?
Note that despite what the text says, he won't necessarily focus on Sir Richard. He'll decide what to do when he does it. As for the healing every round: I did some testing and you lot are so disgustingly overpowered that if he had 100 HP and 50 extra HP per turn, and the healing was applied at the start of his turn, you still just killed him on round 2-3 (one or two attacks after closing the distance). So, as a result, this is it. It's also more flavourful, I think. The healing is also applied at the start of the turn, i.e. during his action.
Oh, and despite what the little paragraph in the "Sword of Death" spoiler above, you're not getting to insta-kill the final boss on your first round. That's what always happens. No, Magus Tor is an illusion and thus not an undead creature.
I still think the odds are in your favour despite that healing schema and everything, but let's see...
At least it'll be somewhat exciting now.Any special orders you want to give?
Yup. He can overheal: it said "add" Endurance, not "restore". Effectively, he starts the first turn with 200 HP.
Hmm, I've got an idea. If Mentok and Richard took up spots in front of and to the side of Bluey here, I could take up a corner position and shoot him with my bow. I can dodge whenever he tries to attack me, and rub healing salve on either of them if they take a hit. Which, honestly, is probably more good than my bow will manage in this fight.
And I guess if our buddy dies, I'll grab the sword and give it to the Warrior. Alas, the book has once again forgotten my class exists...
And I guess if our buddy dies, I'll grab the sword and give it to the Warrior. Alas, the book has once again forgotten my class exists...
All right, you can certainly administer healing salve using your action. Being in the corner will also free up the fourth spot for the summoned phantasm. (Summoning the phantasm will require an action though, but at least none of your heavy hitters have it on them.)Shatari said:Hmm, I've got an idea.

I think your class might need some sort of a conditional "sneak attack" that doubles damage dice or something. There really aren't enough special RP options to compensate for the fact that you don't have any special combat abilities, aside from a situational dodge (and when we've got Sir Richard slinging 10d6 attacks, Karunaz doing 9d6, and an Enchanter dealing ranged 7d6+7, a Trickster with one single normal attack is a relatively low priority target). The Sage is almost the same in terms of damage, but at least he's got his special attack and a wider array of skills...
I'll be processing the fight in about seven or eight hours from now.
All right then, hold on to your butts. The final bossfight is now in progress. Await the results soon.
Huh, this really took me two hours. Jesus Christ. Okay then.

The light is flickering, but coalesces once more as a victorious grin appears on Magus Tor's face. The battered Sir Richard stands, barely standing tall, with the bewildered Trickster on the side, and the translucent Phantasm there too.

The Trickster uses his healing salve on Karunaz (ROLLED 9).

Magus Tor attacks Karunaz using a melee attack. (ROLLED 7 < 12) Hit! Dealt 40 - 0 = 40 damage; Karunaz is dead. (-34/100)
The Trickster now needs to make a Dexterity check to see if he can grab the Sword of Death without that costing him an action.
In this game's rules, I think this should be "roll Awareness or less on two dice".
ROLLED 2 + 2 < 9! Success!
The Trickster dashes over to where Karunaz's grip has gone limp, yanks the sword out of the fallen Ta'ashim warrior's hand, and strikes at Tor, relishing the sudden sense of power.

*** TURN 17 ***
The light is flickering, but coalesces once more as a victorious grin appears on Magus Tor's face. The battered Sir Richard stands, barely standing tall, with the bewildered Trickster on the side, and the translucent Phantasm there too.
"Enough games," declares the magus. "It's high time for you all to die, and for me to take what is mine."
Magus Tor is healed for 40; Magus Tor 44/100
"I've also had enough of your trifling illusion," notes Tor coldly and snaps his fingers. The phantasm opens its mouth as if in shock, and appears to be torn to shreds in an instant. The bits then vanish.
Tor then looks to the Trickster. "I shall feel great joy in killing you last, thief," he says with a smile, then turns to face Sir Richard again. "But first... you."
Magus Tor attacks Sir Richard using a melee attack. (ROLLED 11 < 12) Hit! Invulnerability triggered! (6 >= 6) Damage negated!
Tor's mighty magical slash appears to... bounce off... of Sir Richard's suit of plate. The touch of Styx in action... For a moment, the Magus's jaw drops, in a very human expression of confusion.
Sir Richard smiles and swings the Blood Sword one last time.

The Magi have been defeated forever. Your quest ends in victory.
The Last Trump sounds throughout the world as midnight brings the End of Time. All those who have died in all the earth's history are awakening from the sleep of death. All of your companions and adversaries live again. You see the troubadour who gave you the first fragment of the Blood Sword and set you on your quest. He greets you with a smile as he plucks at the strings of his harp, drawing forth a tune of supernatural beauty. In that instant you know him for who he is - no mere mortal, but an incarnation of the Archangel Abdiel, who forged the Swords of Life and Death. He descended to middle-earth to choose mortals who could undertake the holy quest on behalf of all mankind. And he chose you...
A golden light spreads up from the horizon. It is not the dawn - or, at any rate, no ordinary dawn. For it comes from all around, and the light it brings to the world will never fade. You feel ecstatic, filled with a vigour and purity of understanding that you have never known. The Creator of All is coming to judge His children - and to be judged by them, for that has been the purpose of all time to this moment. You know that you have done God's will, and Paradise will be your reward. But better than this, you did what you knew to be right.
Your knowledge of that fact, and your awareness of your identity in the scheme of things - this in itself is Paradise.
Well guys, this is it. I might've made the final boss a little harder than I wanted him to be.
Thanks for playing, I hope you had a good time. I certainly did. This was fun.

An awesome game, though I feel it should have had more of an epilogue. Ah well, probably a consequence of having so many paths available to us. I wonder how quickly we would have taken him out if he hadn't had so many buffs? I wonder if anyone would have died...
Also, I bet we'd have auto-won if we had suicided.
