Summary:

Rumour spreads of an exceedingly powerful monster, hidden deep in the far Eastern reaches of the 19th floor. The residents of Home say that a beast roams the high hills and barren plains, laying waste to entire settlements and demolishing every creature unfortunate enough to find itself in its path.  Several groups of players have set out to find and defeat it, though only one returned, and their injuries were grave.

A local elder heard their tale and connected their tale to the legends of the <<Ki'Raion>>.  The players reported escaping with their health bars in tatters and the beast’s practically untouched, dubbing it aggressive, territorial and extremely dangerous. For fear of provoking the <<Ki'Raion>>'s true strength, they suggest no lone player trek within a thousand yards of the floral lion’s territory and that parties remain vigilant in an encounter. Even among a full party, survival is not guaranteed.

While the elders of Home find some solace in the notion of a powerful living creature surviving in the wilds of the Forbidden Lands, the very power of the same creature could prove a threat to their settlement, which barely subsists as things are.

Outline: 

This boss is unique in that it draws its power from the sun. During the daytime, it is considered "Charged," and becomes more durable and dangerous. During the night, it loses its Charged status and becomes more vulnerable. It is up to the players to decide, as a group, what time of day they wish to fight it - though there are pros and cons to each. Fighting it during the day will prove considerably more challenging, with greater rewards to show for it. A battle at night will be easier, but the low-light conditions will reduce vision.

Players suffer a -1 to BD if they fight <<Ki'Raion>> at night, unless they have the Night Vision mod active, a glow stone or some other means to counteract the debuff, and the rewards will be less tantalizing.

Enemies:

<<Ki'Raion>>
This creature feeds off of nature, and will condemn any that sully its domain. Drawing the majority of its power from the UV light, it is vulnerable when the sun sets.

Abilities:

• Tail Swipe | If BD 9-10 and MD 1-5 is rolled simultaneously, <<Ki’Raion>> unleashes a powerful tail swipe that can strike a whole party. Deals 150 AoE damage to all party members as well as normal damage to the player with the most hate.
• Venus Fly Trap | If BD of 9-10 and MD of 6-10 is rolled simultaneously, <<Ki’Raion>> lunges at the player with the most hate and encases them in its floral mane. They experience 50 additional damage and will take 50 additional damage for each following turn that they're trapped. They are freed when at least 200 HP damage has been dealt to "Ki’Raion" or another player achieves greater hate. A trapped player may still attack.
• Photosynthesize | Absorbing the Sun’s energy, every second attack <<Ki’Raion>> makes will be damage boosted by 50. On turns when this damage boost is not active, <<Ki'Raion>> will heal 100 HP. This ability is only available to <<Ki'Raion>> if fought during the day.
