Monthly Boss Announcement

[Dellis 0]

Good day to all the Players!

As you all know, the proposal that asked us GM to run a monthly boss event has passed, and we've been working on that.

So, I'm happy to announce that this month you will be fighting the

As with all boss events, there will be prizes. Rare Items, equipments, materials and the such, for all the daring that... dare (sorry for the bad pun) to fight the Atherial, on its looming nest on floor seven.

Yet, remember this is SAO - the grim reaper will get you, if you die in game. As with all boss battles, permanent death is enforced.

Now, you'll probably be asking yourself how to enroll to this particular event.

Just send me a PM and I'll happily oblige to add you to the list of participants.

A few OOC rules:

As with all boss battles, this will be heavily organized by the GM in charge.

The turnation will be posted in the boss fight topic, and set in compliance to the guidelines for boss fights posted by the staff here: http://www.sao-rpg.com/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1185

If it is your turn, and you do not post for two days, you lose your turn, so as not to freeze completely the boss fight.

If you lose your turn twice, you are considered forfeit - your character's run away, doesn't want to fight anymore and whatnot. That's for the same reason.

I cannot stress this enough - Death is permanent. It won't probably happen, but better safe than sorry, right?

I'll keep track of all your health bars, as well as the Atherial's. All the same, please keep tracking your current health at the end of your posts, so it's easier for me to check.

Well, I guess that's all, for now. Remember to apply by PM, if you want to participate. Once we reach a decent quota of participants, I'll make the event start and link you all the topic by PM.

Participants:

Keith Yudai

Nikki Styx

Shard

Shanok

Hunter Yagami

Hi all, GM Dellis here.

Enrollment for this battle is still open

and will be until the 1st of april. If by that date no one more has joined yet, the battle will start with the current participants. Do not worry, since boss health and damage will be tweaked to make the battle balanced for the number of players participating.

Good luck!

Two more people have joined the fight. Welcome Shanok and Hunter Yagami to the team.

The Atherial grows restless...

ENROLLMENT IS STILL OPEN

and will be till the 1st of april!

I will join. I'm not sure how useless a shield and armor will be against a flying opponent, but an extra sword should be welcome enough.

Remember, the Atherial's description states he won't get far from his nest if threatened. He won't take off during the battle, not as long as you have a surefire way not to make him to.

Don't worry, every gameplay aspect such as this one's been sorted out prior to deciding what the boss was!

On a side note, four more people join the battle!

The Atherial's verse can be heard throughout the seventh floor, carried by a strong stormy wind... the fight grows nearer...

ENROLLMENT IS STILL OPEN

And will be until the 1st of April, but spots are quickly filling up. Be sure not to lose your chance!

Aqua joins the fight at the last moment, and the MISSION STARTS!

As soon as I get home, you'll find the thread in the floors 1-10 section, with a [F7-MB] prefix, as in Monthly Boss.

All current participants will get a PM to remind them of the battle, and the link to it.

Good luck to all of you!!
