Lightning struck one last time. The cool breeze slowed. The waves stilled.
The sea went quiet.
The surface domed, subtle at first. Then violent. Ripples rolled outward in perfect rings. A shape broke the surface, a silhouette against the black ocean. The pale moon reflected off the metallic figure, illuminating its features as it rose. At first, only the top of the head crested the surface: smooth, black, glinting faintly in the moonlight. Then came the shoulders, broad and tipped with spikes.
Water spilled from the knight’s armor as he climbed out of the sea. Unnaturally tall, he waded toward shore, stopping when his greaves touched dry land.
He watched his challengers. Heavy, rasping breaths came from beneath his helm, and a red glow bled from his visor.
A blood red sword formed in his grip. He didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He only stood there, at the edge of the sea, his haunting gaze fixed forward.
Then, all at once, the storm raged back to life, and Belregor, Guardian of the Sword, took a stance.
Spoiler<<Belregor, Guardian of the Sword>>
Belregor, Guardian of the Sword | DMG: 300 | MIT:200 | ACC:5 | AA | PHASE | EVA:3 | BH:50 | VAMP-O 2: 150Deadlock | All CD values for Belregor’s abilities are made separately before he rolls to determine the effects.
Man of Glass | Every other turn starting on turn 1, at the start of Belregor’s turn he will change his appearance to match the player in your party with the lowest hatred. If you target Belregor while this effect is active, on a LD 11+ you hit Belregor. On a LD 10 or lower, you hit the party member with the lowest hatred instead.
Horrifying Visage | When an attack aimed at Belregor would critically hit (BD:9-10) the attacker must reroll and take the lower of the two rolls.
Practiced Veteran | When Belregor rolls a CD 3-5, he will change his weapon to better suit the circumstances. This alters his stat blocks to the following (which Belregor chooses before the attack is made):- DMG: 300 | MIT:200 | ACC:5 | AA | PHASE | EVA:3 | BH:50 | VAMP-O 2: 150
- DMG: 300 | MIT:200 | ACC:5 | PHASE | EVA:3 | BH:50 | HLY +300 | BLGT 4 [64/2]
- DMG: 300 | MIT:200 | ACC:5 | BH:50 | FRB 4 [80/2] | BLD 4 [96/2] | BLGT 4 [64/2] | BRN 4 [112/2] | FRCT: 60
FRACTAL [FRCT] | Effect: Single Target critical attack rolls of BD 9-10 deal an additional +60 unmitigated damage and can choose to have their damage split equally up to 6 enemies. The enemy mitigation used to calculate damage is the lowest among applicable targets.
Entropic Ward | When Belregor rolls a CD 6-9, he will enact a defensive translucent barrier around himself. All successful attacks made against Belregor deal -25% final damage and deal the amount reduced back to the attacker. This is treated as thorns and ends at the start of Belregor’s next turn.
Veil of Sorrow | When Belregor rolls a CD 10-12, he will fill the room with an opaque black field. Light cannot be seen and players in your party are effectively blind within. Attacks cannot be made directly to Belregor in this state, as players have no applicable target. While this effect is active, Belregor does not need to follow hatred on his next turn and instead will target based on a rolled CD made before he uses his post action. This effect fades after this attack.
Know thy Enemy | Belregor’s prior knowledge knows who to target:- The Highest Hatred in each party decays by -1 every turn.
- Healing done by sources outside of skills/enhancements (such as VO, VD, HB) from a target who does not have the highest hatred will yield +4 hatred provided that target has no effects that would improve hatred generation (such as Howl or Taunt).
- If this secondary effect would occur more than once per round for each player, only the first source adds +4 hatred.
Awakened Mind | Belregor’s current attunement with the dark reduces fallen and blight damage by half (-50%).
Status Ailment Effects:
DoT | Belregor is a single entity despite being pitted against multiple parties, and as a result can only be inflicted with a single instance of each damage over time effect with the largest taking precedence. However, whenever a DoT is refreshed Belregor sustains 25% of a single turn's worth of damage from the refreshed DoT.
Shatter | Only affects players in your party when applied.
Stun | When Belregor would be stunned, instead his weapon is dropped briefly, reducing his damage by 50 as he must will his weapon to return to him. This effect cannot occur more than once per party, and is party specific.
Freeze | Belregor cannot be frozen, instead ???
Paralyze | Belregor cannot be paralyzed, instead it will remove the effects of Entropic Ward on your party's attacks until the start of Belregor’s next turn.
Focus | The critical threat range increase obtained from focus will not proc Horrifying Visage (aka the player rolls an 8 which becomes a critical through focus, it will not activate Horrifying Visage)Alternate Conditions:
Crystal of Divine Light | Expending a use of a Crystal of Divine Light in a player's BRI will remove the effects of Veil of Sorrow for your party, ending it.
Lullaby | Has no effect on Belregor, however if used on a party member it will remove the effects of Horrifying Visage for their next attack instead of reducing their evasion.
Hiding | Attempting to hide while your party is under the effects of Veil of Sorrow will auto succeed.
Tracking | Instead of being unusable in combat, using tracking as a post action will allow you to remove the effects of man of glass for your party. Make a roll and add your searching/detect LD bonuses to the resulting LD. On a 15+ you succeed and the effect ends.

The Final Stand
The Frontlines would rage on to face fight against whatever horror was causing this mess. Players of all color and creeds, levels and strengths, would find themselves forced to hold strong at the final bastions around Floor 29. Waves of corrupted entities continue to batter the walls of Illridge and Miremore, leaving the NPC guardsman laid low. Splintered wood fills the streets as feral howls echo throughout eternal nights. Animals wearing human skins, replacing all manner of life, seek hard and fast the gates that connect this Floor to the others. Like a plague, a parasite, it could only hunger for more.
By pure happenstance, through all their efforts, Players had stumbled upon what they assumed the key to victory. The sword that once held a space in the Boss Room but was stolen away into hiding, was found acting as the lighthouse beacon of Graycott Point. Once removed, the waters grow dark, but it was with that shining star that they would see another sunrise. Now the difficulty would come in spades, for the forces available would need to defend all life as they knew it, and work to assist those brave enough to fight in the final confrontation. Every hand needed a sword or hammer, every wound needed tending. Else all would be washed away, like the sands across these blackened shores.
Participants are required to aid whichever settlement they choose by performing any of the following tasks:
Tasks
1. Rebuild Barricades (+Armor Skill Rank)
2. Tend to the Wounded (+First Aid Skill Rank)
3. Repair equipment (+Profession Skill Rank)
4. Slaughtering Mobs (+Weapon Skill Rank)
5. Command the Troops (+Leadership Skill Rank)
6. Cut down leadership (+Hiding Skill Rank)Each post must adhere to a minimum of 300 words and include an LD roll. Using the task list above, use the outlined rank as a modifier to this LD roll but no others will apply. For the number of completed (no placeholders) posts, LD will be tallied up during each of the raids 72 hour round windows. Depending on the total combined LD values, the following may occur:
1-50 | The raid will have a single wave of 4 unknown enemies spawn per group
51-100 | Nothing Occurs
101-150 | Raid participants will receive reinforcements which provides +2 Base Damage {DPS}, +50 Mitigation {Tank}, +25 EN {Support}, +1 Disable Activation Range {Scout}
151+ | Raid participants will receive renewed hope, resetting all currently drained [Crystal of Divine Light] & temporarily disabling the effects of [Horrifying Visage] for all participants.
Important Side Task: Delivering the Sword to its altar
A single Player or team of Players (up to 4) that is participating in this thread can choose to take part in delivering the sword. During which they are temporarily suspended from participating and are required to start their own thread that is linked in the post they choose to take it using [Delivering the Sword pt.X] as the thread title. Players can use any manner they see fit to relay the sword to its final resting place within this thread, either by avoiding mobs or cutting a path, sneaking through etc. At any point, the Player or team of Players can choose to 'pass' the sword to another individual/team within this event after closing their thread which is encouraged to prevent burn out. Each thread closed this way will automatically yield +50 LD to the current raid round window. However If staff finds that Players are abusing this to gain an easy +50 LD, that Player or those Players will be removed from the event and receive no rewards. Once at least 27000 words have been submitted and closed to 'Deliver the sword', it will arrive where it needs to.Round 1 has begun
Writers will have 72 hours to make one post per character.
[Countdown Timer]Current Required Word Count Completed: 0/27000
Congratulations!
Because the upper goal of 20 support threads was met, Players will start with the sword.
Otherwise, they would have been forced to complete additional actions to find the sword during the companion event. -
A strange pop-up appears once the Spectral Knight is slain.
What was faced by those that sought them out, these hostiles seemed very malleable and capable of mimicking the arms of their opponents. It is best to assume that the same applies to all of them.
-
A strange pop-up appears once the Spectral Knight is slain.
In times of desperation, the Spectral Knights seemed to turn feral like a wounded animal. In these final moments, they seemed to unravel and forgo their own self preservation. Perhaps it would be wise to cool such anger.

A strange pop-up appears once the Spectral Knight is slain.
When the creatures become shapeless, it would appear that somber music will persuade their shape to remain solid.
-
A strange pop-up appears once the Spectral Knight is slain.
Spectral Knights, before they retreated, transformed to take the shape of their enemies. Donning their face, perhaps there are ways to see past such a disguise.

Rumor has it that beneath the waves, boats that travel upon its shore will see themselves turned by an invisible force. It would appear that some abnormal barrier is causing them to shift away with damage to the vessel's hull.
-
A strange pop-up appears once the Spectral Knight is slain.
At night the sky appeared darker, and these corrupt creatures seemed unaffected by it. Within that mask, they converge upon any living thing regardless of stature.
-
A strange pop-up appears once the Spectral Knight is slain.
The Spectral Knights seemed attuned to the dark, essences of the void seem to have reduced effects.
-
Seafoam bubbles over stones. Lighting crackles over the North Sea, casting brief flashes of red over the water.
The coast here is jagged and uneven. Cold rocks, slick with rain, slope sharply into the dark. The sky hangs heavy with constant storm clouds, and the sea is darker still.
The spawning of Spectral Knights has ceased.
Along the shore of the Black, a scout makes a strange discovery. Past midnight, he sends word to the frontlines.
From: Hackman
To: FrontlinesWas scanning along the edge of the Black. Real quiet out here.
Thought I saw something in the water.
It looked like it had a name tag but I couldn’t see it clearly.
Got closer. The mob was titled “Floor Boss.”
Here’s the location.Also, not sure if this is important-
When I first saw the mob, I got a pop-up with this message.
It disappeared when I looked away. Whatever that means.The light of the divine has the power to cleanse the darkness.
The preparation phase has begun.
Players will have 6 days to make a post that includes their finalized stat block.
This is to allow for discussion surrounding the earned hints, and to account for the holiday weekend.
Each Frontliner is allowed the use of 5 crafted consumables for the battle, and any amount of consumables from Quests or Field Bosses.
(Consumables that expressly note they are ineligible for floor bosses and raids remain unusable.)
[Countdown Timer] -
They swarmed Callisto like angry insects, a dark mockery of the honeybee and grumpy bear trope. Light in a kaleidoscope of colors burst like fireworks as Players fell on the dying Floor Boss, weapons of various shapes and sizes piercing its tough hide. The display was hauntingly beautiful against the blood reds and dark shadows of the creature’s lair. Callisto roared its protest, but in its final moments of life, some of the fight seemed to leak away. Did it simply accept its own demise? Was it so discouraged by its failure that it gave up completely? Or were the memories of another life slowly navigating the red haze of rage that clouded its mind? Of a simpler time, when its thoughts were consumed by fish, berries, and long, uninterrupted rests? When the humans simply existed at the edges of his consciousness, as he posed no threat to him, nor they to him. When had that changed? What had lit the fire of all-consuming hatred at its core, and what had continued to stoke the flames until it lost all sense of self? All sense of control?
As the last of its strength drained away, Callisto’s legs buckled, and its enormous mass crashed to the ground with enough force to send Players stumbling. Eyes glazed with pain and confusion the once magnificent guardian of the woods turned its gaze to the heavens. Rather than the stars, diamonds strewn across black velvet, it found only an oily, otherworldly purple smog. That is wrong, was Callisto’s final thought, before it burst into shimmering slivers of data.
With its protector felled, the door to worlds yet unexplored stood silent and waiting. Yet as the Players approached, the door creaked open on its own - had it done that before? - and though the gesture was one of welcome, a strange sense of foreboding fell upon the gathered Frontliners. Perhaps it was the unnerving creak of the door swinging on its hinges, or the relentless drum of rain that could be heard even before crossing the threshold. Or something else entirely.
Undaunted, the bravest among them forged ahead, and emerged into the aforementioned storm. They found themselves in the center of a city, the flickering light from lanterns reflecting off the wet bricks that lined the road. Ducking through open doorways to escape the pelting rain revealed homes and businesses hurriedly abandoned, as rotted food rested on tables, and children's toys lay forgotten on floors. Shutters clung crookedly from broken windows, and the blackened fingers of mold spread across waterlogged walls.
Each building checked held the same - nothing. No NPCs, no answers, and perhaps most disturbing…
“Wait a second,” one Player called out, pausing as her companions gathered around her in the center of town. She jabbed with one finger, directing their attention across the rain-slicked central plaza. “The Teleport Gate is right there, so this has to be the main settlement. But… unless I’m missing something, we’re not in a safe zone. Is that right? Is something broken? Or, God, what is the chance that there are no safe zones here?"
As if in answer, a sound unlike any they had ever heard filled the empty city. The unearthly bellow seemed to invade their very minds, and even as some Players clapped their hands over their ears, all eyes turned toward the source. As lightning forked across the dark sky, it illuminated the behemoth that towered above them.
Welcome, Frontliners, to the twenty ninth floor.

They swarmed Callisto like angry insects, a dark mockery of the honeybee and grumpy bear trope. Light in a kaleidoscope of colors burst like fireworks as Players fell on the dying Floor Boss, weapons of various shapes and sizes piercing its tough hide. The display was hauntingly beautiful against the blood reds and dark shadows of the creature’s lair. Callisto roared its protest, but in its final moments of life, some of the fight seemed to leak away. Did it simply accept its own demise? Was it so discouraged by its failure that it gave up completely? Or were the memories of another life slowly navigating the red haze of rage that clouded its mind? Of a simpler time, when its thoughts were consumed by fish, berries, and long, uninterrupted rests? When the humans simply existed at the edges of his consciousness, as he posed no threat to him, nor they to him. When had that changed? What had lit the fire of all-consuming hatred at its core, and what had continued to stoke the flames until it lost all sense of self? All sense of control?
As the last of its strength drained away, Callisto’s legs buckled, and its enormous mass crashed to the ground with enough force to send Players stumbling. Eyes glazed with pain and confusion the once magnificent guardian of the woods turned its gaze to the heavens. Rather than the stars, diamonds strewn across black velvet, it found only an oily, otherworldly purple smog. That is wrong, was Callisto’s final thought, before it burst into shimmering slivers of data.
With its protector felled, the door to worlds yet unexplored stood silent and waiting. Yet as the Players approached, the door creaked open on its own - had it done that before? - and though the gesture was one of welcome, a strange sense of foreboding fell upon the gathered Frontliners. Perhaps it was the unnerving creak of the door swinging on its hinges, or the relentless drum of rain that could be heard even before crossing the threshold. Or something else entirely.
Undaunted, the bravest among them forged ahead, and emerged into the aforementioned storm. They found themselves in the center of a city, the flickering light from lanterns reflecting off the wet bricks that lined the road. Ducking through open doorways to escape the pelting rain revealed homes and businesses hurriedly abandoned, as rotted food rested on tables, and children's toys lay forgotten on floors. Shutters clung crookedly from broken windows, and the blackened fingers of mold spread across waterlogged walls.
Each building checked held the same - nothing. No NPCs, no answers, and perhaps most disturbing…
“Wait a second,” one Player called out, pausing as her companions gathered around her in the center of town. She jabbed with one finger, directing their attention across the rain-slicked central plaza. “The Teleport Gate is right there, so this has to be the main settlement. But… unless I’m missing something, we’re not in a safe zone. Is that right? Is something broken? Or, God, what is the chance that there are no safe zones here?"
As if in answer, a sound unlike any they had ever heard filled the empty city. The unearthly bellow seemed to invade their very minds, and even as some Players clapped their hands over their ears, all eyes turned toward the source. As lightning forked across the dark sky, it illuminated the behemoth that towered above them.

From the broken earth at their feet, a low hanging mist began to form, a cacophony of whispers and moans rising to meet them. Lost souls rose from the depths below once more. Tethered to this withering grove by some unknown power. Forced against whatever of their will remained to do the bidding of this corrupted creature. Without direction or much purpose, the spirits circled the grouping of players, creating their own tightrope between the realm of spirits and the physical world. Callisto was able to cross this threshold, becoming partially ethereal in the process. His form would blend with the other souls, his physical form blinking in and out of existence. Blades would phase through the cyan vortex of spirits as they attempted to pin Callisto's form down once more. Only with pinpoint precision could they cut the thread that the raging beast walked upon.

Lair action Descriptions:
Blooming Decay | LD 1-5 | Callisto will regenerate 1% of his maximum hitpoints at the start of his next turn, when this occurs this effect ends. This buff can be removed before Callisto's turn if Burn is applied/refreshed by your party.
Nature's Fury | LD 6-10 | At the start of Callisto's next turn, all players are inflicted with bleed 2. If this would refresh an existing bleed, the entire damage is dealt before refreshing. This effect is removed when your party uses their post actions to make a culminative LD (Nimble + Evasion Modifier) roll of 30 to free themselves from their binds and assist their team.
Stride the Spirit Realm | LD 11-15 | While Callisto has this buff, his evasion is set to 10 and the first successful attack does not deal damage (Status effects will still apply). After the first successful attack, this buff is removed (i.e., successive attacks will deal damage and his evasion is reset to its normal amount). In addition, while under the effects of Stride the Spirit Realm, all activated Accuracy bonuses (Rally, Concentration, etc.) provide double the normal accuracy modifier during player's attacks.
Addled Memory | LD 16-20 | Harrowing sounds of old drown out deeper thoughts, your party can no longer use items until the start of Callisto's next turn. This effect is removed when your party uses their post action to make a culminative LD (Searching + Detect + Trinket + Food) roll of 30 to shake themselves out of this stupor.Lair Action Roll:

The beast staggered forward, its massive form looming like a shadow cast over the dying land. Once a proud guardian of the forest, the bear now stood as a grotesque reflection of its former self, its fur matted and blackened with the corruption that seeped through its flesh. Deep, jagged wounds bled darkness rather than blood, oozing onto the cracked earth as though the forest itself were trying to purge its own sickness. Its breath came in ragged, guttural heaves, hot vapor curling from its maw like smoke from a smoldering pyre.
Around it, the forest crumbled. Towering oaks twisted into warped spirals, their bark flaking off in ashen sheets, disintegrating into the fetid air. The ground buckled and cracked beneath the bear’s weight, roots writhing as though trying to retreat from the corruption that poured from every step it took. Leaves that had once glistened in the dappled light of day now hung limp and gray, as if drained of their life. The world itself recoiled in silent agony.
The bear’s eyes glowed with a pale white stained with venomous ink, swirling like a storm caught behind glass. Madness danced within them, but deeper still lay a glimmer of something else—pain. This was not its war, not its hatred, but a curse it could no longer fight. With a shuddering roar that split the deadened air, it charged forward, each lumbering step shaking the earth. Its claws, now jagged obsidian talons, carved furrows into the soil as it swung at unseen foes. Every movement was met with the groaning of the forest, the very earth threatening to collapse into itself, as if trying to bury the beast and its torment forever.

As colored yet horrific fragrance wafts through the air, that same fog would move its sights upon an unsuspecting gaggle of digital avatars. It would burn upon the skin like standing too close to an open flame, the smell a mix of rotten vegetation with the slightest dash of metallic undertone. Their very ears would ring to signify how unwelcome this dust was, and their eyes would begin to blur. A roar from within that coverage, as if it was under his command. Callisto was not done, and its ally had found itself into the ballroom blitz. That violet hued wave of pungent welcoming rolls across the room like the most bitterly biting wave of disapproval. Up was down, hands felt like feet, and the air tasted sublimely like oregano. Perhaps this was the door to madness, or perhaps that was the entrance to this grove. Screens become fuzzy, and maps end up on the flip side. Could the players figure out how to navigate their inventories with everything mixed up?

The beast staggered forward, its massive form looming like a shadow cast over the dying land. Once a proud guardian of the forest, the bear now stood as a grotesque reflection of its former self, its fur matted and blackened with the corruption that seeped through its flesh. Deep, jagged wounds bled darkness rather than blood, oozing onto the cracked earth as though the forest itself were trying to purge its own sickness. Its breath came in ragged, guttural heaves, hot vapor curling from its maw like smoke from a smoldering pyre.
Around it, the forest crumbled. Towering oaks twisted into warped spirals, their bark flaking off in ashen sheets, disintegrating into the fetid air. The ground buckled and cracked beneath the bear’s weight, roots writhing as though trying to retreat from the corruption that poured from every step it took. Leaves that had once glistened in the dappled light of day now hung limp and gray, as if drained of their life. The world itself recoiled in silent agony.
The bear’s eyes glowed with a pale white stained with venomous ink, swirling like a storm caught behind glass. Madness danced within them, but deeper still lay a glimmer of something else—pain. This was not its war, not its hatred, but a curse it could no longer fight. With a shuddering roar that split the deadened air, it charged forward, each lumbering step shaking the earth. Its claws, now jagged obsidian talons, carved furrows into the soil as it swung at unseen foes. Every movement was met with the groaning of the forest, the very earth threatening to collapse into itself, as if trying to bury the beast and its torment forever.

As colored yet horrific fragrance wafts through the air, that same fog would move its sights upon an unsuspecting gaggle of digital avatars. It would burn upon the skin like standing too close to an open flame, the smell a mix of rotten vegetation with the slightest dash of metallic undertone. Their very ears would ring to signify how unwelcome this dust was, and their eyes would begin to blur. A roar from within that coverage, as if it was under his command. Callisto was not done, and its ally had found itself into the ballroom blitz. That violet hued wave of pungent welcoming rolls across the room like the most bitterly biting wave of disapproval. Up was down, hands felt like feet, and the air tasted sublimely like oregano. Perhaps this was the door to madness, or perhaps that was the entrance to this grove. Screens become fuzzy, and maps end up on the flip side. Could the players figure out how to navigate their inventories with everything mixed up?

A frenzy of mangled vines continued to rip and tear into the players. With intent to maim, crush, kill - all of Callisto's rage seeped into nature itself like a venomous poison. An extension of the deformed bear itself, the grove's champion now had extra reach to occupy the intruders. Sharpened barbs climb upon ankles and slink themselves through slips in armor with ease. An earthen smell and a puncture of the skin confirms they were about to be dragged to the ground, a wench to remove these wretched invaders from the strength to stand. The gentle ticks of bars as the near insignificant damage would foreshadow something much greater to come. Rooted by the very roots they had trampled upon, bundled and ready to be delivered to the overseer's waiting maw. Those players would have but a moment or two to see themselves free, else the teeth upon their skin would begin to chew.

From the broken earth at their feet, a low hanging mist began to form, a cacophony of whispers and moans rising to meet them. Lost souls rose from the depths below once more. Tethered to this withering grove by some unknown power. Forced against whatever of their will remained to do the bidding of this corrupted creature. Without direction or much purpose, the spirits circled the grouping of players, creating their own tightrope between the realm of spirits and the physical world. Callisto was able to cross this threshold, becoming partially ethereal in the process. His form would blend with the other souls, his physical form blinking in and out of existence. Blades would phase through the cyan vortex of spirits as they attempted to pin Callisto's form down once more. Only with pinpoint precision could they cut the thread that the raging beast walked upon.

[BR-F29] Paving the Way to Floor 30 [Team 3: Jomei]
in The Frontlines
Posted
Lightning struck one last time. The cool breeze slowed. The waves stilled.
The sea went quiet.
The surface domed, subtle at first. Then violent. Ripples rolled outward in perfect rings. A shape broke the surface, a silhouette against the black ocean. The pale moon reflected off the metallic figure, illuminating its features as it rose. At first, only the top of the head crested the surface: smooth, black, glinting faintly in the moonlight. Then came the shoulders, broad and tipped with spikes.
Water spilled from the knight’s armor as he climbed out of the sea. Unnaturally tall, he waded toward shore, stopping when his greaves touched dry land.
He watched his challengers. Heavy, rasping breaths came from beneath his helm, and a red glow bled from his visor.
A blood red sword formed in his grip. He didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He only stood there, at the edge of the sea, his haunting gaze fixed forward.
Then, all at once, the storm raged back to life, and Belregor, Guardian of the Sword, took a stance.
<<Belregor, Guardian of the Sword>>
Belregor, Guardian of the Sword | DMG: 300 | MIT:200 | ACC:5 | AA | PHASE | EVA:3 | BH:50 | VAMP-O 2: 150
Deadlock | All CD values for Belregor’s abilities are made separately before he rolls to determine the effects.
Man of Glass | Every other turn starting on turn 1, at the start of Belregor’s turn he will change his appearance to match the player in your party with the lowest hatred. If you target Belregor while this effect is active, on a LD 11+ you hit Belregor. On a LD 10 or lower, you hit the party member with the lowest hatred instead.
Horrifying Visage | When an attack aimed at Belregor would critically hit (BD:9-10) the attacker must reroll and take the lower of the two rolls.
Practiced Veteran | When Belregor rolls a CD 3-5, he will change his weapon to better suit the circumstances. This alters his stat blocks to the following (which Belregor chooses before the attack is made):
FRACTAL [FRCT] | Effect: Single Target critical attack rolls of BD 9-10 deal an additional +60 unmitigated damage and can choose to have their damage split equally up to 6 enemies. The enemy mitigation used to calculate damage is the lowest among applicable targets.
Entropic Ward | When Belregor rolls a CD 6-9, he will enact a defensive translucent barrier around himself. All successful attacks made against Belregor deal -25% final damage and deal the amount reduced back to the attacker. This is treated as thorns and ends at the start of Belregor’s next turn.
Veil of Sorrow | When Belregor rolls a CD 10-12, he will fill the room with an opaque black field. Light cannot be seen and players in your party are effectively blind within. Attacks cannot be made directly to Belregor in this state, as players have no applicable target. While this effect is active, Belregor does not need to follow hatred on his next turn and instead will target based on a rolled CD made before he uses his post action. This effect fades after this attack.
Know thy Enemy | Belregor’s prior knowledge knows who to target:
Awakened Mind | Belregor’s current attunement with the dark reduces fallen and blight damage by half (-50%).
Status Ailment Effects:
DoT | Belregor is a single entity despite being pitted against multiple parties, and as a result can only be inflicted with a single instance of each damage over time effect with the largest taking precedence. However, whenever a DoT is refreshed Belregor sustains 25% of a single turn's worth of damage from the refreshed DoT.
Shatter | Only affects players in your party when applied.
Stun | When Belregor would be stunned, instead his weapon is dropped briefly, reducing his damage by 50 as he must will his weapon to return to him. This effect cannot occur more than once per party, and is party specific.
Freeze | Belregor cannot be frozen, instead ???
Paralyze | Belregor cannot be paralyzed, instead it will remove the effects of Entropic Ward on your party's attacks until the start of Belregor’s next turn.
Focus | The critical threat range increase obtained from focus will not proc Horrifying Visage (aka the player rolls an 8 which becomes a critical through focus, it will not activate Horrifying Visage)
Alternate Conditions:
Crystal of Divine Light | Expending a use of a Crystal of Divine Light in a player's BRI will remove the effects of Veil of Sorrow for your party, ending it.
Lullaby | Has no effect on Belregor, however if used on a party member it will remove the effects of Horrifying Visage for their next attack instead of reducing their evasion.
Hiding | Attempting to hide while your party is under the effects of Veil of Sorrow will auto succeed.
Tracking | Instead of being unusable in combat, using tracking as a post action will allow you to remove the effects of man of glass for your party. Make a roll and add your searching/detect LD bonuses to the resulting LD. On a 15+ you succeed and the effect ends.
