Level Up 2 - Finished

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 swings his blade horizontally at Cultist Zyliono. (8 so far on Cultist Zyliono.)

Allahandra watches the movements of Beta. She learns the following information.

Spoiler: Beta's Scrying Info

**(8) Cultist Blademaster : HP = 25 | MP = 3 | Morale = 10 | Attack = 2d4 | Defense = 1d4
- Passive Skill "Critical Hit": If this creature rolls {Max Attack Roll} - 1 or higher on an attack, the target is stunned for two rounds.
- Active Skill "Double Slash" (4 CD): Slashes an enemy twice for {Attack Dice} and {Attack Dice} - 2 damage.
- Active Skill "Blade Sweep" (4 CD): Sweeps enemies' legs dealing {Attack Dice} damage (before defenses) to every enemy attacking this creature this round. If a target suffers damage, their cooldown is increased by one round.
- Active Skill "Feint" (3 CD): Attempts to trick your enemy by performing a feint. Roll 1d2 and {Attack Dice}. If you roll a 2 on the 1d2 roll, your attack deals 150% damage and bypasses defenses.
- Magic Spell "Cultist Ritual" (2 Mana): Uses magic to heal oneself by 1d4 hitpoints.

"You're finished!" shouts Gobanzo as he charges at Cultist Zyliono. He attacks twice in quick succession. (8 + 3 + 3 = 11 + 3 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) The cultist attempts to block the first attack but is unable to avoid both of them. His strength failing, Cultist Zyliono momentarily collapses to the ground. He attempts to get back up, but inspiratieloos springs forth and delivers a finishing blow. The charm around the cultist's neck shines a bright green light, and the cultist disappears with a loud pop. **Cultist Zyliono has

teleported away

.**

Jake the Wolfie slashes at Cultist Zyliono's former location. His blade slices through thin air, and he ends up somersaulting through the air due to the lack of resistance to his blade.

Beta, seeing his superior officer gone, flees the battle. With the battle finished, Zulu returns to the realm from which it came. Some of you begin to apply first aid.

Congratulations, you have won this battle!

"Well that is done and over with. I can't wait until we return to the town! Our battles will be passed down for generations!" exclaims Allahandra excitedly as she rushes forward. She stops for a moment as she notices something sparkling on the ground. "Hmmm... What is this?" she shouts. In her hands is a dark green orb. You pass it amongst yourselves for a while but are unable to figure out what the item does. You decide to keep it in case it is a useful object.

As you continue onward through the cultists' fortress, you run into a few cultists that you are able to dispatch easily. Soon, you reach a large room filled with all sorts of posters. As you begin entering the room, you hear a clicking noise. You test the door behind you only to find that is locked from the outside. "This is not good," states Gobanzo.

You hear two popping noises. The room, once devoid of people, now has two figures standing in the middle of it. On the left is a tall woman with long blonde hair. She begins speaking, "I must say, I am rather impressed that you have made it this far. How about we chat over some tea?" The other cultist, to the right of the woman, begins speaking, "Cut the chatter Adriana. Let's just get down to business." When none of you react to the name Adriana, the cultist on the left becomes upset. "How can you have forgotten already? Why, why, we had an epic battle and everything!" You look at the other cultist and confirm what you expected: it is Cultist Zyliono again. Some of his injuries from the previous battle are still present. "Enough talk. Though individually, we may be weak, together, we are much stronger. This is the end for you," shouts Cultist Zyliono as he unsheathes his weapon. Adriana follows suit.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Soooooo... where do we start?

[Not Known 15]

A magical check on Adriana and a scry on Zyliono are definitely necessary to ensure we don't miss anything - especially the magic check. My first instinct would be to kill Zyliono first, so that we do not waste our mana on Adriana only to realize that Zyliono can stop that - we cannot see his inventory. Plus... Zyliono is a good healer.

"Get rid of the priest; he's easier to kill and the only real threat here!" shouts Not Known 15 as the Murderhobos unsheathe their weapons.

Jake the Wolfie immediately starts on the offensive as he slashes at Zyliono. Unfortunately, he is too busy coming up with insults that he is not paying attention to his attack. (3 so far on Cultist Zyliono.)

inspiratieloos begins chanting and making complex hand motions. After a while, a fearless goblin materializes in the room.

Not Known 15 joins Jake the Wolfie in his attack and executed a clean uppercut slash on Cultist Zyliono. (3 + 8 = 11 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) Gobanzo raises his club and strikes twice at Cultist Zyliono. He loses his balance, dulling the impact of hid attacks. (11 + 3 + 4 = 18 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) Allahandra twirls her sword before lunging at Cultist Zyliono. She is too busy being flashy and ends up using poor technique. (18 + 3 = 21 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) "Give up already! You cannot win!" states Cultist Zyliono as he attempts to parry Jake the Wolfie's attack.

Gobanzo begins moving his hands and reciting ancient words. Blue and white wisps begin to appear around him. He points at Adriana and Charlie, and the wisps begin to move at a quickening pace. They fly towards the two cultists and send them flying backwards. Charlie manages to land safely. (5 so far on Adriana.)

Jake the Wolfie issues yet another insult at Cultist Zyliono. He then cartwheels forward and follows up with a powerful slash at the cultist. (6 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) inspiratieloos joins in on the action and puts all his might into his blade. (6 + 17 = 23 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) The cultist attempts to ward off part of the attack.

Allahandra begins a similar invocation as Gobanzo, and several wisps begin to encircle her wrists. "Send them flying!" she shouts as she points at Cultist Adriana and Charlie. The two cultists are sent up in the air again, and both suffer a major fall. (6 + 5 = 11 on Cultist Adriana. 9 on Charlie.)

He points towards Cultist Adriana, and they begin to flow towards her weapon. As they approach, they disappear, and Cultist Adriana's weapon begins to glow a fiery red color.

I mistyped the accumulated damage on Cultist Adriana; it should be 10 before defense is applied.

Cultist Adriana is sent soaring a long distance and suffers a major fall. **Cultist Adriana has

32/45

HP left.** Charlie also suffers a major fall, and its head begins to swirl in dizziness.

Charlie is stunned for one round.

**Charlie has

16/25

HP left.**

Cultist Zyliono manages to muster a minor defense, but he is still overcome by the blade onslaught. **Cultist Zyliono has

6/90

HP left.**

Despite Zulu's best efforts, it is unable to make even a scratch on Cultist Adriana's heavy armor.
---
inspiratieloos attempts to deflect Cultist Adriana's blade with all of his might, but the cultist overpowers him. The cultist's blade touches inspiratieloos's skin, and inspiratieloos feels a sudden jolt.

inspiratieloos is vulnerable to spells (x2) for three rounds.

**inspiratieloos has

13/25

HP left.**
---
Cultist Zyliono's charm begins to glow a faint white color. It emits a small white light, rejuvenating the cultist. **Cultist Zyliono has

8/90

HP left.** "Hmmm... You are stronger than you appear," mutters the cultist as he begins to move his fingers. He recites a few words of command, and the amulet begins to glow again. This time, it emits a bright green light. The light covers the cultist's body, and some of his wounds begin to heal. **Cultist Zyliono has

15/90

HP left.** Allahandra looks at the green orb in your possession. "Wow, this is spectacular! It's glowing!" she exclaims as she notices the orb reacting to the light from Cultist Zyliono's charm. As the charm's light fades, so does the orb, but one of you notes that the orb appears a bit brighter than it was before.
