[F21 - Tier 2 Boss] Nobody expects the Spanish Vanguard

[Vigilon 0]

As Vigilon was starting to get back up, he heard a girl call out to him, "Dude YOU HAD ONE JOB!"

Vigilon looked towards the direction of the voice. "You think I didn't realize that?"

He then turned his eyes back to the bunch of baddies...or, rather, two baddies. The opposing Mage was set upon by two players who clearly blasted it down, so there was only one target that it would make sense for Vigilon to go for...and he should probably do this before Dazia would have any chances to make a third kill in this battle. It wasn't like he knew what he was going to do about it, after all...other than strike the target that remained. "Alright..." Vigilon decided. "Let's do this right...let's FINISH THIS!"

Vigilon charged up his Sword Art again, and he decked the Unyielding Avatar right in the face. There, that should do the trick.

Concentration CD [1/3], Shield Bash CD [1/3], Mark Used [0/3]

There was but one, solitary soldier left upon the field. Griswold looks to Vulcan and retrieves his mallet from its mouth, causing fire to spray and drop to the rocky surface below. Spinning the mallet to a flaring noise like a swung torch, he slams it against his gleaming steel shield which coats it the same. "Victory or death, Aye monster? Come face your maker with courage!" he barks with one heavy stomp forward, the skill to which was not entirely aware of triggers on his phrase. A bout of orange fire begins to take hold of the ground around him, but he pays them no mind. Thought simply just catching pitch but in fact, it was a little gift from his Gemini as the others, a little balance via the cardinal system made to manifest. A curious mirror shield and all, that ferocity and refusal to stand down. Like father, like daughter.

[Krysta 0]

Victory was at hand, there was no mistaking it. The opposing healer had fallen earlier, and the Berserker was vanquished soon after. Two player landed powerful blows against the opposing mage, it would surely be destroyed by the assault. Everyone else decided to either recover their energy, or continue the assault on the Unyielding Avatar. As much as Krysta would have loved to finish off the creature, there were enough strikes upon it to end it, at least from what she could guess. She saw Vigilon deal the latest hit against the armored foe, and smiled, primarily because he was able to strike this time, rather than experience yet another embarrassing failure. Krysta stood firm, and knew the battle was pretty much over. "It is done. Victory is ours." She stated. The players could be at ease now, but how would they repair the damage done to the floor above?

-Krysta takes no action.

[Dazia 0]

The Berserker said nothing and died. What a shame that it chose to remain silent. Dazia took a few seconds to catch her breath.

"My my dear, your looking rather tapped. If I were to keep that power going, how much damage would you do?" A player had asked. Dazia intended to answer, she was simply in the middle of catching her breath, however.

"Make them pay for their indiscretion, I have given you the currency. Would you kindly, extract my payment in blood." The player decided as she used Energize to assist Dazia. Dazia smiled, now that she had the energy for one last attack, all thanks to this one who just might have understood her. "With pleasure." Dazia responded. She turned to face her opponent, and immediately it was struck with a Barrage of attacks, but when an opening was left, Dazia intended to take advantage of this moment. She rused to close in on her target, only to see Vigilon attack it before she had a chance to use her sword art. She jumped her feet to slide to a stop. "Damn it Vigilon, that was my chance!" She called out. She raised her weapon, and thrust it into the ground. She took one breath, then another...

She looked Vigilon in the eyes. "That was supposed to be my kill." She said in a straightforward manner. She took another breath, and it was finally over... "Just...watch yourself the next time you're eager for an opportunity to strike next time, alright?" She warned. She'd spared some of Vigilon's HP, and the color of her cursor, by restraining herself once again. Hopefully, she wouldn't need to do this again. The battle was already over at this point, so it was no use letting her hatred continue to burn.

-Dazia takes no action.

 

-Dazia has calmed.

It was down to the Mage and the Avatar against about a dozen players. Suffice to say, there wasn't much the pair could do to offset the combined wrath of the group of warriors assembled before them. Of the two of them, the Mage had been far more successful in laying down the damage. Which was probably why the Players saw fit to absolutely eviscerate it first. It really only took one hit to bring it down to zero HP with every point of damage after it being overkill. That wasn't to say that it wasn't undeserved. Simultaneously, those that didn't see fit to take their pound of flesh from the Mage instead deigned to bring their fury to bear against the Avatar. Unyielding was an accurate moniker. Despite a rapidly depleting health bar, the Avatar refused to relent. The same level of hate blazed in his eyes as had blazed at the beginning of the fight. The Vanguard - and as soon as The Reaver was felled, the entirety of Sundered Spire - may have lost their offensive, but they would all be damned if they gave the Players the satisfaction of being able to say they truly won.

The Avatar, upon reaching zero HP stared down the brown-haired man that had landed the final blow. With a chuckle, he said: "You might have won today, but no one wins forever." At that, he disintegrated. Polygonal fractals were carried away on the wind, returning the Avatar to its original spawn location. The Vanguard would not give the Players the satisfaction of feeling as if they'd won. They hadn't. Not as long as Sundered Spire remained alive. And, as the Players would have learned during this fight:

Sundered Spire never truly dies.
