Job Description:
"Greetings from Shadow Island. My name is Doctor Matt. I have been living here for ten years doing experiments on the creatures that have been living here. It seems like my latest experiment has escaped with a few others. I thought I was careful with it's caging, but it seems like I haven't. Anyways my latest experiment has been on creating the mythical beast Chimera genetically. I have gotten far in my research, but if it's unstable I can't it running around killing other creatures that will make find them scarce. I need a few mages to kill it and bring back its heads so I can experiment on the blood. I will pay a hefty sum for this mission and for an additional reward I will give you all a new amulet I created to protect you from being turned to stone as long at you wear it so come here I need your help. Last thing, you can find my lab in the middle of the island. That is all."
Enemies:
Weak: Siren
Sirens are beautiful woman-like creatures that lure their targets in before striking. Their figures are much like those of mermaids, but instead of being half woman half fish, they are half woman half squid.
- Abilities:
- Luring Melody (A-rank): The sirens let out a melody for all to here that has a hypnotizing effect bringing their target(s) closer to them. Last for 2 posts.
Razor claws (B-rank): Sirens sharpen the nails upon their hands to be able to cut through any surface except titanium. Damage from such an attack will leave the target bleeding, receiving B-ranked damage each post for three posts. The spell lasts indefinitely.
Normal: Gargoyles
Gargoyles are creatures of stone and darkness which tend to live on Shadow Island due to its fitting atmosphere. They can fly and usually attack from the sky.
- Abilities:
- Stone armour (B-ranked): A gargoyle can turn any part of their body into stone, thus reducing incoming magical and physical damage by 40%.
Sky Dive (A-ranked): Gargoyles drop from deathly height onto their target(s) causing huge damage. Those hit are stunned for 2 posts.
Grab and Drop (C-ranked): Gargoyles tend to grab their target(s) and fly into the sky with them before dropping them from anywhere between 50 and 100 metres above ground. The grab lasts for 1 post before you're dropped.
Strong: Lamia
Lamias have the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a woman. They like to turn their targets into stone before taking them as prizes.
- Abilities:
- Petrify (S-ranked): The lamia looks into their target's eyes, turning the victim to stone. Can only be undone by a purifying potion/spell.
Wrap (B-ranked): The lamia wraps its tail around its target, placing them in a crushing bind. Last 2 posts, deals B-rank damage per post.
Seduce (A-ranked): The lamia uses its womanly charms backed by magic to captivate the consciousness of their target. Upon doing that, it begins kissing its victim, draining 25% of their magical energy per post. Also, due to her captivating kiss, with each passing posts it becomes harder and harder to break her hold over its victim. Note that the one being Seduced has to roll a defensive dice when the lamia attempts to kiss him/her. If the dice fails and they do get Seduced, with each passing post they have to roll one more dice and all the rolled defensive dice have to succeed in order to break her hold. Example: If the lamia has been kissing you for two posts already, you need to roll three defensive dice on the third post and all must succeed if you are to escape her. (This works on both male and female mages alike)
Blind (C-rank): Lamia makes their scales glossy and shine giving off a bright light. Temporarily blinding the target(s). Lasts for 2 posts.
Boss: The Chimera
It has the body and head of lion, a tail which is actually a snake and the wings of an eagle. It has the strength of a lion and the speed of a snake as well. The Chimera can use two attacks at once since it has almost two separate bodies and it can attack both in front of behind itself at once. Takes 20 B-ranked hits to take down.
- Abilities:
- Petrify (S-ranked): The Chimera lifts its tail letting the snake's eyes glow a bright red turning anyone who looks into them to stone. Can only be undone by a purifying potion/spell.
Flame (A-ranked): The Chimera lowers its body to the ground while lifting it's tail. The snake spits out green flames from its mouth that reaches to about 15 metres in distance. Causes burning damage to A-ranked and lower mages for 3 posts while S-ranked mages suffer it only for 1 post. Deals A-ranked initial damage and A-ranked damage per post.
Roar (A-ranked): The lion head lets out a loud roar calling weak creatures to it. The roar also stuns the enemy. Anyone in its immediate proximity is stunned for 4 posts, anyone up to 8 metres away is stunned for 3 posts and those that are between 8 and 20 metres away - for 2 posts. (Must roll three monster dice once the chimera roars. It will perform a roar after every 5 B-rank damages it suffers)
Quake (No rank): The Chimera stomps on the ground with massive force creating an earthquake. The ground will rumble 5 miles in distance. It also knocks mages off their feet if on the ground or out of a tree. Note that a Quake also happens every time the Chimera lands from a flight or jumps/leaps.
Confusion (S-ranked): The snake's eyes will glow a light purple colour when it tries to magically confuse anyone who looks into them. This will make the one affected attack their allies. Lasts 4 posts on B-rank and lower mages. Lasts 3 posts on A-rank mages. Lasts 1 post on S-rank mages.
