Thunder Island
Job Description:
For reasons unknown, Lexa's body feel attracted in the direction of Thunder Island, and island infamous for being constantly barraged with lightning. Without Taranis, her pet, to aid her after having a strange series of event unfold, Lexa calls upon a single assistant to aid her in this time of need.
There are 3 bosses to defeat. the enemies in the below spoiler list out the enemies that roam the island freely, and can be encountered anywhere. If you roll a 'Boss' treat it as either: 2x Strong, 4x Normal, or 8x Weak enemies. All bosses for this job are automatically spawned at specific points in the story.- Main Enemies:
- Enemies:
Weak: Thunder Horse
A horse altered by the island's electricity. It can run at speeds of 50 miles per hour and deals S Rank damage with each successful hit. It's a glass cannon however, able to be taken down with 1 successful hit of A Rank or higher damage due to how fast it moves.
Normal: Thunder Monkey
A small monkey, it moves at 40 mph, and is able to hit for A Rank damage with its normal punches. It may either charge electricity into its fists and feet to paralyze you for 1 post when it hits you, or any conductive surface you use to block with; or it may send a wave of electricity outwards and shock you for S Rank damage, but not paralyze you. Aside from this, each monkey may consume electricity from the ground 1 time to heal itself for 1x A Rank damage. These take 4 hits of A Rank damage to defeat.
Strong: Thunder Platypus
A 3 foot tall, 7 foot long platypus that's been genetically altered by the island. The platypus is able to deal S Rank damage with its bite, and inflict a poison that deals an additional 10HP in damage over the course of the next 5 posts. This poison will stack with each bite and reset the duration of the poisoned effect. The platypus may perform a lightning strike on a single player that deals 1.5x S Rank damage, and can send out a wave of electricity that paralyzes all hit by it for 2 posts as well as deals S Rank damage. It takes 7 hits of A Rank damage to defeat them.
~~Part I~~
After a short ferry ride to the island, Lexa and her assistant note that there's a trail of blood leading from the shore. The two decide to follow this trail, which leads into the wooded area of the island, and see where it ends. After rolling 5x each, the two find themselves at the entrance to a cave that's guarded by a massive stone golem. It glows with golden circuit markings, much like Lexa's circuits, and like her they're all over its body except its head.
Boss: Thunder Golem
A large being composed of earth, lightning, and magic power. It's immune to fire and poison attacks entirely. The golem deals S Rank damage with its melee attacks, and can use two magic attacks. The first is enhancing its fists with electricity and paralyzing those it hits for 1 post, the second is generating a wave of electricity that deals 1.5x S Rank damage, the third is a lightning bolt that deals 2x S Rank damage. It can also create rock barrier that will take 2x S Rank attacks to destroy. The golem takes 15 hits of A Rank damage to destroy.
~~Part II~~
Upon defeating the golem Lexa and company will be allowed to enter the cave it was guarding. Inside the entrance is a corpse with a strange looking rock in his hand. Lexa will attempt to touch it, but it will force her back. However, her ally is able to touch it. When the stone is removed from the hand, the man will come to life and grab at the person saying "Subject X-003 is supposed to be dead, but fortune smiles on us that she's not. Take the stone and-" he dies before he can finish. Go through the caverns until another wall is found, this one will be covered in circuit markings like Lexa and the Golem. If 5 enemies have been rolled and defeated, Lexa will be able to open the door. On the other side of the door is another being... made entirely of electricity.
Boss: Lightning Elemental
The enemy deals A Rank damage with its attacks, but all of its melee attacks are able to paralyze the player for 2 posts. It can also place its hand on the ground and shock anything touching the floor for S rank damage. It's other attacks are sending out a wave of electricity that deals 1.5x S Rank damage, or sending a blast of electricity out that deals 2.5x S Rank damage. The elemental takes 50% damage from melee attacks, 150% damage from Earth attacks, cannot be poisoned or stunned, is immune to poison, and takes 10 hits of A Rank damage to take out.
~~Part III~~
After that boss, the players enter a final room with a large Thunderbird with only half its body sticking out the ground. "We've wondered when you'd come to this place Alexandria." it will say. The bird will continue a dialogue with Lexa, leading to a fight against it.- Thunderbird picture:
Final Boss: Thunderbird
The Thunderbird will remain in sight, not flying as it's far too large to fly in the room. It takes 20 hits of A Rank damage to kill it, but only 19 hits of A Rank damage to make it admit defeat. It has the following attacks:
Peck - S Rank Melee Damage
Wing Smack - S Rank Melee Damage
Screech - A Rank Magic Damage
Thunder Beam - Deals S Rank Magic Damage and Paralyzes for 1 post
Thunder Wave - Deals 1.5x S Rank Magic Damage to a 20 foot radius in front the bird, paralyzes all hit for 1 post
Thunder - Lightning comes from the walls of the room and hits all who can't find a good hiding spot for 2.5x S Rank Damage
Immortal Charge - Automatically used when the bird is about to die, the ability makes it unable to be killed
Once defeated, the bird will address Lexa, saying "All you know, is not what is." and lifting a wing to reveal a pedestal. He will address Lexa's assistant saying "And you... you have brought one of my children to me, for that I will grant you my power. Be warned, it is not meant for human hands, but you have overcome a great obstacle in life so it is the only appropriate reward." and reach out one of its massive wings to em. On the tip of the finger will be a black ring with yellow markings on it, but they aren't circuit shaped like Lexa's, more like rune symbols. Lexa will touch the small sphere on the pedestal, and be engulfed by pure lightning as her magic circuits are rewired entirely, very painfully. Once Lexa regains consciousness the job will be complete.
Reward:
Lexa:
NO EXP(not even base), Lexa is allowed to change her Primary Magic + the Heaven's Sphere.
Other Player:
Normal A Rank XP + 1x Thunder Ring
Thunder Ring: Once per thread the player may use this ring to infuse his/her melee attacks with electricity for 1 post. The electricity increases damage by +10 damage, and paralyzes targets of equal or lesser rank for 2 posts. It will paralyze non-player controlled NPC targets 1 rank above the player for 1 post, and be ineffective against opponents 2 ranks above the player. This item cannot be used for PvP purposes. After the use of this item, the player will lose MP at a rate of 1% MP per post for 5 posts, and spells equal to their rank cost 50% more MP to cast.
Heaven's Sphere: The item from the pedestal Lexa took. It doesn't do anything, but will be used in a job later on in her storyline.
"I've had this dream dozens of times..." Lexa said softly while looking out at the raging tides in the area surrounding Thunder Island. "I'm standing in darkness..." she continued, the seas tossing and turning the small boat as it made its approach, still several miles from shore. "A strong voice calls to me... one I'd never heard before." she says, her childish voice being soft and solemn for what might be the first time ever. "It tells me that 'all that I know, is not what is' but doesn't explain it to me." her voice sounded puzzled as she spoke to no-one, keeping her gaze fixated on Thunder Island. "And for some reason... my heart pulls me here..." she said, sounding slightly puzzled about why; of all places, her instincts would pull her to some desolate island. A blast of lightning slammed next to the boat, causing it to shake violently into a wave that seemed to consume the ship, miraculously not capsizing it. Lexa was holding onto the railing, preventing her from falling overboard; but just barely. Lexa turned into light, reappearing in the same spot with her clothes completely dry as she approached the wheelhouse fr the vessel. "Skippy, you got those things I asked for?" she asked, her voice seeming far more serious than she'd even been before while using her childish tone. "Aye!" the captain responded, walking over to a crate in the corner of the room and tapping a series of buttons. The crate opened from the top, a pillar rising with several items inside. The center of the rectangular pillar pushed out, presenting Lexa with a pair of black swords that began glowing purple when Lexa touched them. She placed them in an 'X' formation on her back, and grabbed another item. This one was a pair of black weapons with the head of a double edged sword, but the grip of a pair of claws. She took it and tucked it into a sheath one her waist before picking up a pair of black, fingerless gloves from the tray and putting them on. "You have my gratitude Nii-san, I know you don't care for me much; but agreeing to come along for this is among the kindest things anyone's ever done for me... so thank you. If I die here, let my guild know how I died, don't bother to bring back my corpse." Lexa said before walking out the door, and waiting for the ship to finally pull onto the beach where a metal ramp would extend to let them onto the island.
