[PT-F2-PP] <<Field Boss>> Right away, your majesty (Wulfrin)

[Baldur 0]

"Thanks again for offering to help me with this." Baldur nodded to Wulfrin as they headed out to the, at this point, very well documented spawn location of the <<The Wasp Queen>>. He had been farming this boss for years, but her stinger was a useful drop, and the floor boss raid would be coming up soon. He had learned first hand from the last fight just how useful all these field boss drops were if you farmed them. Being prepared was his modus operandi after all.

"How are you feeling? I know the last fight was a little... emotionally charge, you ready to get back on the horse?"

Baldur checked over his equipment. He wasn't planning on using consumables for this fight. It should be over pretty quick, and he didn't want to divert resources elsewhere. He wanted to be more prepared for this fight, but it seemed they would be using his left over resources from his personal stockpile, but the guild was shaping up and they should be able to be much more prepared for the next one.

"I think we'll have a good crew with us. Not as many people as the last one, but all solid people."

Field Boss
 

Spoiler

<<The Wasp Queen>>

<<The Wasp Queen>> is a large wasp measuring four feet in height. With quick speeds and a stinger that can provide flurries of attacks, this field boss is more than capable of taking out scores of lower-levelled Players. It assaults Players after its very large hive is disturbed.  

HP: 315/315 | MIT: 20 | DMG: 35 | ACC: 0 | EVA: 1

Abilities:

• Royal Stinger | On CD 6+, the Queen’s attacks will ignore 50% of the target’s MIT (rounded up).
• Authority | Every two turns, the Queen’s DMG will increase by 5.
• Weapon Lock | Only Sword Arts of Rank 3 or lower may be used against this boss.
• Tier Lock | For the duration of the fight, all of the participants’ stats that scale with Tier are calculated as though they’re Tier 1. [DMG/MIT/BLEED enhancements etc.]

Drop:

“Matriarch’s Stinger" (T1/Consumable/Single Use); Increases Multiplier of SA attacks by 1 for the duration of one thread. ([DMG*(SA Multiplier)] becomes [DMG*(SA Multiplier + 1)])

"Don't mention it," Wulfrin smiled as he and Baldur made their way to the field boss's location. "Always happy to lend a hand where I can."

Wulfrin thought back to the previous raid. Baldur's assessment of it being emotionally charged was an underestimate. Being placed on the brink of death, forceably trading places with your mentor and watching them essentially vanish, only for them to mysteriously return with a new look and outlook on life really changes one's view on their situation. Wulfrin had only just gotten back to where he could consider fighting in the raid. With the events on Floor 29 and the lack of able players joining the front this time, he felt forced back into the line of duty.

"We do have pretty stacked party this go round," Wulfrin spoke analytically as he drew his celestial steel blade in preparation. "Between Ciela joining us and having a raid crew I'm comfortable with, I think we'll be fine. As for my readiness, statistically yes. My emotional readiness on the other hand, jury is still out, but I can't let that get in the way of us pressing to the next floor. The uncertainty of the raid is weird though. That mass message that went out said the Floor Boss was running around outside of a boss room.""

As they got close to the Queen, Baldur paused for a moment, turning to face Wulfrin and putting a hand on the man's shoulder.

"I'm not saying to change your plan, but please remember this. Those of us who have been on the Assault Team for a long time... we all take breaks. We all need it. There are always people we can pull out of the back benches to fill in a spot or two. I myself was one. You guys were short a spot, so Jomei called me up to help fill in. It's something we have to do time to time for our mental health and so that we can fight longer on the Front."

With a reassuring nod, he turned to head back towards the Queen.

"You're a good fighter Wulfrin, but the top causes of death among frontliners is arrogance and burnout."

Finally, the queen loomed up ahead and Baldur leapt at her, activating his <<charge>> attack. The sword art split the skybox of the world around them, revealing the night sky in steam, filled with stars and nebula.

His sword exploded with effects when he struck the queen, freezing her in a block of ice that was so cold it burned her.

"And if you ever feel like you need to talk, my Torri gate is always open."
