#cr: a storm of swords

[seaworthee]

i hate you so much. “Not only do I not care about my son dying, but theres enough cum churning around in my balls for MORE sons! lets see what my sisterwife has to say about all my great plans” I HATE YOUUUU

[undead-knick-knack]

@captainofthetidesbreath I made the shittier version of what you were probably imagining

[dirtyassvoiceactors]

Dorian gets offended/jealous Orym is talking about working out with Beau, so he tries to show off, Imogen calls him out on poor execution, so he just walks off to help Caduceus (who also quickly kinda roasts him) kkkkkkk

i need next episode to after Dorian and Orym wakeup together, Orym goes workout with Beau and have competitions, so the whole time is just Orym and Beau showing off to Dorian and Yasha, like doing push ups with them in their back or sm, doing upsidedown pullups

[marissathelight]

Ok so Orym got a cool new sword. And Dorian got a cool new sword.

🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️ manifesting a hot sword fighting practice between the two of them for the next episode 🙏🙏

[screechingfromthevoid]

that was an exercise in "who's going to tell Orym and Dorian to fuck" chicken

[cringefaecompilation]

WAIT OMG. FEARNE AND DORIAN CAN BE DRAGON BUDDIES IF THEY MURDER ZATHUDA AND TAKE GLOAMGLUT. TWIN DRAGONS ROLLING UP TO SAVE THE WORLD

[ittybittyremy]

imagine how dorian felt during that whole kerfuffle

Two days ago, his brother died and the Crown Keepers separated, all because of the Spider Queen.

A couple of hours ago, he and Orym reminisced about how Orym put a blade to his chest and told him not to put the crown on his head. Something that Dorian is clearly grateful for now. ("Otherwise, I wouldn't be here right now")

Now, he woke up to two of his friends fighting. Then, Laudna claims that the blade on Orym's back will corrupt him "just like it corrupted Otohan." He's still catching up on everything, but he knows that's the name of the person who killed Orym's husband and father. To put it simply, he just heard that Orym may become corrupt like his family's killer was because of a sword.

And here's the thing: He's seen a real cursed item before. He's felt the lure of one and has seen/experienced the consequences of holding onto one. His brother's death was one of those consequences 2 days ago! And now there's apparently another cursed item that's on his "very good friend's" back. The same "very good friend" who he just talked about the crown with. The same "very good friend" who put a blade to his chest so long ago.

Then later, it turns out that the item Laudna was so insistent on being cursed (to the point of injuring another party member [be it unintentional]) is actually not cursed.

Now he's listening to Laudna talk about how she wants to take the blade in energy while belittling Orym for taking it in hand. (Yes, I am aware that this is very simplified)

After all this, Dorian finally gives his opinion.

I think [Orym] should keep it. It's just a thing. I'm so tired of things having control over us. You two are friends. It was his to possess and you tried to steal it from him... It is just a thing. Its history doesn't shape us. Our actions do. [Laudna's] actions tell me that [she did] not have enough trust in [her] friends... What would it have mattered if [Otohon] cut him down with a handaxe or a stick from the street? It was not the thing that did the action. It was the person. It does not matter.

I believe that there are two routes to Dorian's mindset

Gilmore's Wisdom: When the Crown Keepers discuss the circlet with Gilmore, he says something very interesting. "The Spider Queen herself is dark, is evil, but the vestige is simply power, and it is whatever you make it into. Power simply is." (E1x03).

Orym's Threat: Orym confronted him when he saw that he could hold the circlet without issue. He put a sword to his chest and told him to put it down. Dorian did so, saying, "I care about you more than this" (E1x05).

Dorian's point is a combination of those two things. To put it simply, Dorian's point was that friends are more important than objects because objects are just things.

And before I see anyone else blabbering about how Dorian is a hypocrite because of how Cyrus died, Opal didn't kill him, and neither did the circlet itself. It was the Spider Queen that killed him.

During all this, he discovered that Orym, Fearne, Laudna, and Chetney had died due to the blade. He also discovered that Orym made a deal with Fearne's grandmother "to help [them] do the things that [they] have to do. Hopefully in the next episode, Dorian is able to fully process all that information

Side Note: In between those words, Dorian admits that he doesn't fully understand the situation ("You do not know what you speak." "I do not"). Apparently, this is a hot take, but I think that him being the outsider of the situation made him the most clear-headed of the group. He wasn't hurt by Ottahan like the rest of Bells Hells had been. So, he has the least biased view of the bunch (still biased but not as biased as the others).

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk!

Details from the new CR animated intro (SPOILERS AHOY)

HERE BE SPOILERS

YOU KNOW THE DRILL

LOREM IPSUM

---

So, from the beginning of the new intro!

Matt creating the terrain (the Key, what looks like Ludinus' tower in Molaesmyr) and the appearance of Liliana, Ludinus, Ira Wendigoth, Captain Xandis, and Otohan Thull before the shot pans out to the Feywild Arch...

Nothing specific in Fearne's intro though it might represent her passing through the Arch into Exandria

Orym's shows Derrig sitting under the cherry tree while Will is beside Orym, moving through the Zephaer'atam - Will and Orym are using identical swords (barring length)

Imogen's shows Bertrand, the Lumas twins, and Lord Eshteross fading into the storm before she turns, runs, and plummets into...

Ashton falling from the window of Jiana Hexum's manor (we see him pre-injury but post-"hardening")

The group on the deck of the Silver Sun, we now see Ash with two different colour eyes -- as they fall overboard, Ashton grabs Laudna and flings her at Imogen, while FCG casts Fly (or something along those lines), and Fearne transforms into a bird and catches Ashton on her back (we don't see if FCG catches Orym or Chetney)

When the Hells are in the Feywild, Fearne has her pan flute, and we see her blackened left hand (a result of her grabbing Lolth's Crown during ExU)

During Laudna's intro, we get a brief flash of Delilah puppeting a Laudna doll the way Laudna is puppeting Pate in the shot

During FCG's shot, in the close-up on his red-tinted eyes, we see the Division lying massacred, with the buzzsaw and the grappling hook arm on the ground - as the shot pulls back, we see FCG swinging the buzzsaw at Ashton before we see the rest of the Hells surround him, Orym restraining him (with Seedling, slight continuity error there but appropriate), Chetney's unfinished mood wheel on the table behind them... and then Fearne pickpockets Ashton while everyone's focused on FCG

Chetney is carving a rocking horse, and we clearly see his RTA crown tattoo

In the group attack shot -- a wolfed-out Chet is using his Crimson Rite to claw through vines -- Fearne summons Mister who has his little firearm before she blowtorches everything -- Ashton's arm gets sliced and he rages -- FCG grapplehooks his way into combat and swings around, his Spiritual Weapon taking the shape of the Changebringer's coin -- Ashton apparently rolled Time because we see his dopplered selves appearing off him (it MIGHT just be a coincidence, but the blue-shift version looks like an uninjured stone Asthon, while the red-shift version looks like a HUMAN Ashton) before Ashton drops the hammer on a pair of Paragon's Call riding a crawler and blows it up -- Laudna's newer form of Dread appears with branches and flowers, while Imogen flings lightning around -- Orym goes toe to toe with several of Otohan Thull's echoes (including him Air Striking some into nothingness) before he blocks the REAL Thull's attack

Thull knocks him back into Ashton and FCG, who catch him

Forces of Chaos | What if the highest CR demon in the monster manual was actually legendary

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.

Chaos? How about chaotic evil? Simple one this week, and my goals were two fold.

First was to resolve an issue I had with the balor (and the pit fiend, but that will have to come later). Why are the two (I guess three if you count yugoloths, but meh) highest CR fiends in the MM not legendary creatures? Crazy talk! So I gave it legendary actions, but also for fun, lair actions.

Second was to port over my two favourite demons from pathfinder. The brimorak is just a lil guy but is also an actual goat demon, why does 5e not have goat fiends! And second is the vavakia, because it's a dragon, and dinosaur, a demon and a centaur at the same time, and its the size of a house, amazing!

And now to plug my stuff. I release homebrews weekly over on my Patreon. Anyone who pledges $1 or more per post don't have to wait a month to see them, and also help fund my being alive habit.

At the moment, they have exclusive access to the following:

Survival of the Fittest

I also have four classes, and a splatbook over on DriveThrueRPG to check out:

The Rift Binder. A class specialising in summoning monsters and controlling the battlefield.

The Witch Knight. A class that combines swords and sorcery in the most literal way.

The Werebeast. A class that turns you into a half beast to destroy your foes.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Air Mastery (Ex): Airborne creatures take a –1 penalty on attack and damage rolls against a cyclonic ravager.

Buffeting Winds (Su): Once every 1d4+1 rounds as a standard action, a cyclonic ravager can cause a tremendous surge of storm-strength winds in a 100-foot-radius burst centered on itself. A creature within this area must succeed on a DC 25 Reflex save or be pushed up to 30 feet in a direction of the ravager's choice. A creature may choose to fail this save voluntarily. A ravager can push a creature to a location outside the area of this effect, but the pushed creature cannot end up in another creature's or object's space.

A creature takes a -4 circumstance penalty on this save per size category below Medium. Bigger creatures gain a +4 circumstance bonus per size category above Medium. When the ravager activates this ability, it can choose to affect some creatures within its area while ignoring others. The save DC is Strength-based.

Deflecting Winds (Ex): A cyclonic ravager controls the air around it to knock aside sword blows, arrows, and even magical rays. The ravager gains a deflection bonus to AC equal to its Constitution bonus (+7 for the average ravager).

Smite of Seven Winds (Su): Once per round, a cyclonic ravager can forgo all normal attacks to execute a melee touch attack on a single target. This attack generates a brief but intense gust of wind that rends the opponent, inflicting 10d6 points of slashing damage. A successful Fortitude save (DC 26) halves the damage, but creatures of the construct and ooze types and creatures of the elemental subtype are immune to this effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

A cyclonic ravager is a powerful elemental agent of Hshurha, doing the will of the Duchess Of All Winds throughout the planes. It is often employed as a defender of sites sacred to Hshurha or important positions in the everlasting war against her opposite number Ranginori, often accompanied by numerous air elemental myrmidons, evil cloud giants or invisible stalkers. They are also often seen assisting clerics of Hshurha and complementing a temple’s defenses. However, Hshurha is a mercurial and unpredictable mistress, and not even her most faithful servants can be sure of her endgame – therefore, a cyclonic ravager can often appear in unexpected locations without any apparent rhyme nor reason, only following the Unseen Whirlwind’s insane whims.

As mysterious as their origins and objectives may be, no one doubts the cyclonic ravagers’ power and cruelty. They enjoy toying with their opponents, using their mastery over the wind itself to unleash punishing gale blasts that push opponents into unfavorable positions or draw them towards the raging elemental, allowing it to batter them to death. A single opponent that earned the ravager’s wrath will be subject to its signature attack: a whirlwind of air currents within the opponent’s body that can tear the victim’s body apart from the inside out. Other than that, a ravager hangs back to direct its allies in melee, using its winds to move them into better tactical positions.  

A cyclonic ravager stands about 16 feet tall, but only weighs about 5 pounds.

Lord of the Revel - CR13 Kami

How our hearts sing in the chaos!

Artwork is official concept art from Final Fantasy XIV, copyright Square Enix.

This creature is based on Susano, a boss from Final Fantasy XIV. Susano is a primal, a recurring type of boss from Final Fantasy XIV that's essentially a summoned artificial demigod, created from the imagination of those that believe in it, and often a recreation of a real historical figure or other powerful monster. This stat block isn't meant to be a primal, though; it's a stat block for the original creature that the primal was an imitation of. I've previously also made a stat block for Ramuh, another primal from FF14, plus several other classic Final Fantasy summons that you can find by searching my blog for the final fantasy tag.

You could absolutely use this creature in the Final Fantasy D20 system, which is based on Pathfinder rules.  However, I did create some lore for this as an actual Pathfinder creature.  I think that’s helpful to people who aren’t familiar with the source material, as well as to people who aren’t running their game in a Final Fantasy setting but want to use this creature anyway.

A lord of the revel is an ancient kami spirit. Each kami has a ward - a type of creature, object, or location that the kami's purpose is to watch over and protect - and a lord of revel's ward is a gladiatorial arena. They have water and electricity themed powers, and especially tend towards watching over arenas in oceanic or coastal civilizations that understand and respect the power of storms. Such civilizations sometimes worship and commune with lords of the revel, and it's become a tradition to invite them to be the host and/or the final battle of a gladiatorial tournament. The trophy of such a tournament - traditionally a powerful magic weapon - can be used in the ritual to summon a lord of the revel, and if summoned, it will immediately begin challenging anyone it sees to face it and revel in the glory of combat. The winner earns the right to take the prize weapon and have it empowered by the kami's essence.

If you decline a lord of the revel's challenge, but you appear to have martial prowess, it sometimes won't take no for an answer. Lords of the revel love combat, and constantly shout both challenges and encouragement to their opponents during combat, as well as invitations for onlookers to join the fight.

Lord of the Revel - CR 13

Standing twenty feet tall and wielding an electrified blade, the massive frame of this swordsman is completely hidden by its decorative armor, but the sound of a thunderstorm can be heard echoing from within the plate mail.

Gear Huge +2 moderate fortification full plate, Huge +3 shocking burst bastard sword

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Dark Clouds (Su) Once per day as a free action, a lord of the revel can summon two dark clouds which appear within 100 ft. of the lord of the revel. The dark clouds have the statistics of huge air elementals, except that they cannot use the whirlwind special ability or attack in any way, except for the line attack described below. They roll initiative rather than acting on the lord of the revel's turn, but share the same initiative as each other.

While the dark clouds are no more than 100 ft. from the lord of the revel, and have line of sight and line of effect to each other, they can both use a full-round action to blast all creatures in a direct line between them, and within 5 ft. of that line, with electricity and wind. Creatures on this line and within 5 ft. of it, other than the dark clouds and the lord of the revel, take 8d6 electricity damage, and the area of this effect is treated as severe wind for 1 round, moving in a direction from one dark cloud to the other (the dark clouds' choice which direction). This acts as the gust of wind spell. A DC 19 Reflex save halves the damage, and a DC 19 Fortitude save negates the wind effect. The save DC is based on the average Constitution bonus of the dark clouds.

The dark clouds last for 10 minutes. If one dark cloud is destroyed, the other is immediately destroyed as well.

Storm Prison (Sp) Once per day as a spell-like ability, a lord of the revel can encase a target within medium range (typically 230 ft.) in electrified stone, functioning as the icy prison spell (caster level 13, DC 18, 39 hp) except that the damage is electricity instead of cold.

A target completely encased in this electrified stone is capable of withstanding the tornado created by a lord of the revel's Part the Skies ability, and takes no effect from it. The electrified stone itself takes 8d8 damage from the tornado.

Spell resistance applies. Treat this as a 5th-level evocation [electricity] spell.

Lightning Blasting Aura (Su) When below half hit points, a lord of the revel gains a lightning blasting aura. Each round at the start of its turn, enemies of the lord of the revel within this aura take 1d8 electricity damage with no save.

Moderate Fortification A lord of the revel wears moderate fortification armor. When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on the wearer of this armor, there is a 50% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally.

Part the Sea (Su) Twice per day as a standard action, a lord of the revel can perform a melee attack against a target against its reach and follow it up with a special bull rush made with an extra +30 bonus (typically for a total of +60).

If the bull rush is successful, then immediately afterwards, a massive hurricane of wind and water fills the entire battlefield within a 300 ft. radius of the lord of the revel, counting as difficult terrain and creating partial concealment (20% miss chance) everywhere except for the line of spaces that the target was pushed through by the bull rush. These spaces are the "eye of the storm," and are safe.

A lord of the revel's turn ends immediately after using Part the Sea, even if it has actions remaining. On the following round after using Part the Sea, if the bull rush was successful, a lord of the revel can use Part the Skies.

After using Part the Sea, a lord of the revel cannot use it again for 5 rounds.

Part the Skies (Su) As a full-round action on the following round after using Part the Seas, a lord of the revel can create a massive tornado that lasts until the start of its next turn, affecting all creatures within 300 ft. that are not in the "eye of the storm" created by its Part the Seas ability, except for itself and its dark clouds. Even creatures outside of the lord of the revel's line of sight and line of effect are affected by the tornado, unless they are in a completely enclosed space capable of withstanding the tornado's winds.

The tornado destroys nonfortified buildings and uproots large trees. Ranged attacks, including normal, siege, and even those produced by evocation spells, are impossible in the tornado. Huge or smaller creatures must succeed a DC 20 Strength check or be sucked up by the funnel of the tornado; this deals 8d8 points of bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing lethal damage to the creatures. This damage ignores all but DR/epic, DR/—, and hardness. Once it deals this damage, the tornado flings the creature it has sucked up 1d20×10 feet up and away from the eye of the tornado, dealing 1d6 points of falling damage per 10 feet that the creature is flung. Gargantuan and larger creatures take the 8d8 points of damage but are not moved by the tornado.

Rasen Kaikyo (Su) As a standard action, once every 1d4 rounds, a lord of the revel can place five visible magic circles on surfaces within 100 ft. of itself. Each circle has a 20-ft. radius. At the start of the lord of the revel's next turn, each circle erupts into a conjured whirlpool of torrential water, dealing 6d6 bludgeoning damage to targets within the area. A target in the area of multiple whirlpools is affected by each of them. A DC 21 Reflex save halves the damage. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Stormsplitter (Su) As a full-round action, while below half hit points, a lord of the revel can make a melee attack at its highest base attack bonus against every opponent in a 60-ft. line, supernaturally reaching its targets with a shockwave from its weapon. It must make a separate attack roll against each opponent.

I need canonical cuddle pile guys. the fan art said everyone sleeps wrapped up in each other where are they WAKING UP NEXT TO EACH OTHER

[delightfuldevin]

To be fair, it seems that Legendaries can be created either naturally ( if that's how the flow of life goes according to Frost Queen) or made so through tragic means (darkness, severe corruption in pursuit of forbidden knowledge etc). Not to mention both were had a personal connection to Sea Fairy: Abyss Monarch being the former regent over Sugarteara as a placeholder ruler and Black Pearl blessed with the power of the sea. Octopus' costume is a "before" everything went awful hence its Epic status. If crimson Coral turns out to be the super epic then it's to be assumed that the mermaids were to. So yeah they WERE different ranks until they gained power and turned into monsters due to their own grief/hurt from the situations as those they cared for betrayed them severely. Looking at white lily going from Ancient to legendary as dark enchantress

Octopus took on all the darkness corrupting the pearl and that turned them into the "Legendary Abyss Monarch" which has been a major player in undersea lore so technically a legend. They struggle to control it so they try to keep away from others. If anything, they symbolize the eldritch horrors of the deep which are known for being fishy n mind breaking.hence abyss

BP reveled and embraced the darkness after what happened. Took over a portion of the sea for her own. Becoming an ancient sea beast that happily drowned cookies in bitter grudge yet the longing is there. Given how she was blessed personally by her goddess, it would seem that she was bestowed a piece of SF. Her element is storms which is notorious in ending voyages at sea

If that makes sense? All the legendary cookies are created in some way for various reasons so they fit into whatever the criteria is placed. It's over time that they develop these legends about them so pretty much par for the course I think. The flow of life energy n all that

These are very interesting points you bring up. I guess it depends on how we’re defining “legendary”. In the real life sense, a legend can be anything that is told enough times to become well known by large groups of people. The way I’ve been using it in relation to the world of CR is that it’s a title that only powerful beings of nature have. The way I see it, legendaries can only be created naturally. The exceptions to this would be Moonlight and Dark Enchantress, as they were created directly by the Wizards and Witches respectively (Moonlight being actually created, while DE was simply a normal cookie corrupted by the Witches’ magic).

In my headcanon, the world of Earthbread was imbued by the Witches’ magic when it was created. All lifeforms in the world were born from that magic, but the legends were imbued with the highest concentration of it. Sea Fairy and the other fairies are the personified forms of the oceans. The legendary Dragons were born from the magic of the world as well, and so was the Millennial Tree. Timekeeper’s legendary power comes from their scissors, the Sonic Embroider, which is an artifact created by the Wizards. Frost Queen was chosen to fulfill the role of guardian of the flow of life energy, which I think is separate than what the other legends do. But the key here is that they were all born from the world itself to fulfill a certain role bestowed upon them.

Now, following this headcanon, Wind Archer and Fire Spirit are also more on the level of super epics than legends, but since Windy was created by one of the strongest forces in the world and has the role of purifying fallen spirits, and Fire Spirit is described as being the bridge between cookie and dragon, I think they can still be justified. I mean, I get that all of this is just my headcanons and nothing more, but I feel like the idea that those with legendary power are beings of nature makes sense. If an intense and tragic event was enough to create legendary power, I feel like Dark Choco should’ve become one as well since his is possibly one of the most tragic stories we know. Plus, his sword ties him directly to Dark Enchantress.

But yeah, going off of the actual definition of what a legend is, BP and AM fit it because their stories have been told until they became so well known that they became legends. I just meant in terms of their powers and the origins of their powers, they feel more like super epics (on the level of Capsaicin or Sherbet). And even going by the true definition of a legend, there are others who fit it too. Capsaicin is a legend in the Dragon’s Valley for being as powerful and dangerous as he is. And Squid Ink is a legend too, being a giant sea monster that has sunk many ships in pursuit of treasure. Dark Choco is even kind of a legend for betraying his kingdom.

I hope this makes sense, I think I might’ve been going in circles with my explanation of the difference between an actual legend and legendary power ^^”

Nexus: ogre slayer [2/2]

[season 2] "ogre dragon spotted! Begin the siege!"

We see a Komodo dragon in the wilderness hunting its prey it's claws tearing through the Earth itself and the trees as it quickly catched up to its prey but before long when it arrived to find its prey it's stood in front of a massive 200 stories tall monstrosity it's body covered in crimson scales it's claws bangs and eyes glow magenta as well as having massive wings which had a bioluminescence that glow that very familiar magenta.

Ogre beast type: dragon.

Threat level: 0

The Beast had had long massive antlers as well. The antlers were accompanied by storm clouds constantly swirling them. Then we see this colossal Titan of a monster slowly making its way to highway City.

Then our vision switches to highway City people running for their lives as we see police trying to evacuate the area as everyone could see the ogre Dragon approaching.

"A day of celebration is interrupted by a dragon's wrath, a buck so Noble infected by hatred. Bear witness to the cataclysm of walking mountain of fire none shall survive this cataclysmic destruction" - William D. Nukra.

Then we see hundreds if not thousands of transports arriving with hunters exiting. An ogre Dragon was no joke.

Then we see the forest the Beast trudge through slowly be turned into a scorched wasteland. Trees turn to charcoal, leaves turn to nothingness the grass itself became Ash as the ground became infertile.

This Beast was a true calamity. The very Earth shook beneath its power, soon enough everything would be scorched back to nothingness.

Then we look back to see Johnson Xander Lucius and every other Hunter getting the barricades ready as they prepare cannons and ballista as well as every other heavy artillery.

The siege begins. We see one of the generals stand in front at the end of the barricade. "Hunters with your face many foes ranging from ogre Beast of demons but now is our greatest threat we must kill this ogre Dragon before it enters highway City. Some of you may die but I'm glad to know you are willing to make the sacrifice needed to save hundreds of others" the general spoke. Each hunter noded.

Finally the Beast grew close enough to where they could actually aim and fire at it. Lucious grab tons of ballista ammo and then God speeded towards every single ballista loading them with the ammo. After that Johnson Lucius and Xander as well as other hunters went to the ground floor to face the Beast head on.

Then a mechanical leg landed right behind them which was revealed to be the massive Cobalt mech known as Atlas.

As to be screw closer the hunters and the neck Rush towards the Beast the Mac punching the beast in the face as the hunters began to scale the Beast with climbing tools. Then we see ballista fire constantly hitting the Beast trying to get under its scales to land a hit on its flesh.

Some made it some didn't regardless a lot of the hunters were able to scale the Beast and get on its back. They saw crystals on lining the Beast back massive crystals to be exact.

"Attention all hunters" the commander said to the com link. "Your mission is to kill it to those aiming the ballistas keep firing and to those on the Beast itself make sure you attack their crystals that's where it stores the excess heat that emits from its body. If we do that the heat will cause in a ruption causing the Beast to stop moving momentarily this is where the people manning the ballista will fire the harpoon to keep this beast in place." The commander continued. The hunters knotted and then turned off their com links.

Hunter's ran to the crystals and started attacking them some using hammer some using swords some using even pickaxes as well as some bringing along grenades that they activated and threw at the crystals. Each one making a dent until we see Johnson Lucius and Xander managed to destroy one of the crystals causing the Beast to flinch back momentarily halting its movements.

After a few more of the crystals were destroyed the Beast was stopped completely it's movements were either slowed or non-existent then the hunters at the ballista loaded up the grappling harpoons and then fired, the harpoons managed to hit the Beast and get under its scales locking the beast in place.

Now the Beast was halted all that was left was to kill the Beast. Then we see Jay charging up the atlas fist with electricity as it been slug the beast in the face and then another electrified fist hit it in the belly.

The tides of battle were turning in the Hunter's favor. But then they heard it the Beast Lord and anger as its wings unfurled revealing their true size it then flapped its wings repeatedly as the grappling harpoons then broke off to the sheer wind pressure.

The Beast was able to move as it reared up on its hind legs as a weird it's head back charging it up with a White flame.

Then lightning surrounded the flame as it then swung its head down firing the electrified flame releasing a massive explosion as the atlas and every Hunter on the barricades were sent backwards some hunters fell to their death some manage to stay on the Beast using their grappling gear.

The atlas managed to get itself back up as an electrified its fist. As It was about to land another punch the Beast caught it and then bit into the atlas's arm tearing it off.

That's when things went downhill. The Beast then uses other arm to slam it's fist into the atlases stomach cavity absolutely destroying it causing it to lose all motor functions in its legs. Then the Beast started to release intense amount of heat to the point of where the Beast was blanketed in fire.

Thankfully the hunters that were still on it managed to get off landing on the ground safely.

Then we see Lucius grab Johnson and Xander and then godspeed all the way back to the barricade finding multiple burning corpses as well as seeing hundreds of other hunters dangling on the side of the barricade holding on for dear life.

Then the Beast charged up its White flame again. With lightning surrounding the flame yet again as of then swung its head back down releasing another blast. The hunters that were on the ground burn to death or were electrocuted.

The signs were clear, the Beast had already won. All of the hunters that were left could do now was evacuate the entirety of highway City but then in that moment a black flash hit the beast in the neck going straight through it. Then we watch as the Beast head fell off as there now stood on top of the Beast head the very same man who Johnson Lucius and Xander had fought days ago.

Nemesis. But why was he here?

Then nemesis disappeared into red smoke that admitted from the severed head of the ogre dragon.

That man had killed something in one blow that would have killed everyone else. And there everyone stood in sheer shock they were confused, surprised, or out right terrified of what they just witnessed.

Nothing in this hunt made sense. Why did the ogre dragon show up now and why was Nemesis here and how did he just kill that thing.

There was so many questions left unanswered but all the hunters could do now was be thankful that their lives were saved

Later we see the hunters as well as tons of construction workers helping to rebuild the city and take down the barricades despite technically killing the Beast away from the city it still did damage with its attacks.

We see Johnson Lucius and Xander sitting down watching as the construction workers in the hunters finished up repairing the city. Johnson's sighed. He couldn't defeat Nemesis, he couldn't kill the ogre dragon, he still was powerless, this couldn't get worse.

"Johnson" a voice said. A voice only familiar to Johnson. Today of course got worse.

He turned to face with older brother his black hair blowing in the wind as he wore a black suit with a blue and black tie. The king of pricks himself, lance red.

"Well hello there you pain in the ass how's our trash old man?" Johnson said each word potent with hatred.

"Our father has retired from business and he appears to be doing quite well I am now the CEO of arma Corp." Lance said showing no signs of being offended.

"Good that means I don't have to see your ugly mug for longer periods of time, now why on whatever God's Earth are you in this city. Aren't you supposed to be running arma Corp in new Jersey. Or some other trashed city." Johnson said.

Lance inhaled then exhaled. "As much as I'd love to squabble with you brother, father has asked me to fulfill one last desire of his to request that you return to the family business." He said.

"Hell no. I'm not going back to making war machines. That's the old man's job not mine and it should have never been yours." Johnson spoke with more hatred building in him.

"I see you're still being childish as ever, when are you going to grow up and realize that this is the real world you're an adult now Johnson." Lance said.

"My birthday is in 5 months I'm not going to be 18 until then so technically no I'm not an adult." Johnson retorted.

Lance shook his head. He simply looked at his brother then walked away. "Don't expect this encounter to be the last we meet brother. I have some unfinished business I need to attend to in the city as well" lance said as he continued walking.

We see nemesis watching as Lance left then returning his focus back onto Johnson.

"You better pray you become stronger soon child" he said quietly as the black flames engulfing him.

Then as everything faded to Black we see a massive flaming salamander standing in front of Johnson in the void.

"I await you human. In your time of need all you have to do is invoke my name, SALAMANDRA!"
