[F21- PP] Disrupted Tranquility <<The Hidden Village>>

[Typhoonflame 0]

Ty still couldn't help wincing when Star stuck his blade into the chest of their enemy. Once again, she reminded herself that they were just mobs now, and her mind somewhat cleared. She nodded at his words.

"You're right, yeah...I guess I've only ever been to these lower floors so I don't know what it's like up there. But you do, don't you?" she asked, dread creeping into her voice.

She'd heard that most higher-ranking people ion the guild went to the frontlines to fight for the players' survival and safe return home, to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. It was a noble cause, and one she wanted to have a part in, once she was ready. She needed these quests to be ready. If she didn't want to fight down here...well she didn't assume the upper-level bosses would give her a choice. 

She glared at the incoming soldiers, watching as Star created a gap between them and her. She gripped her rapeir, ready to attack once more.

She admitted her gap in knowledge of the upper floors.

"Yeah. I guess I do. It's not as scary up there as it might seem."

He hurled himself at the pair of knights like a wrecking ball and slipped past the shielder's sturdy defense. Quickness was his skillset; he wasn't going to knock down an iron gate, but he could sure as hell dive under. The shielder stammered, surprised by the ineffectiveness of his positioning. Morningstar squeezed an attack out before the duo could reconvene and struck with a flurry of well-placed attacks.

Star cursed. A sliver of health remained where it shouldn't have. Twelve measly points. The shielder backlashed, swinging his enormous hunk of metal to no avail. Morningstar backed away, regrouping with Ty. The lancer stood still, frozen in the dark of the cave. "Think you can finish him off?" He asked the novice, more to offer her the last hit than anything else.

Abilities:

• Formation | Dragon Knights oft work in teams, and must be spawned in groups of two or more. Their party will consist of every member being a Shielder save for one of them, who will assume the role of Lancer.
• Lancer | All Dragon Knights seen on patrol are lance users by nature of training. Only one Dragon Knight in battle will assume a lance weapon, gaining a 50 DMG buff and attacking on its turn. If a Lancer falls in battle with other Dragon Knights in its party, the healthiest Dragon Knight will assume the new role of Lancer.
• Critical Eye | A roll of 8 on their designated monster die will be considered a critical attack.
• Long Reach | The length of their weapons alongside the broad and swift movements of a trained warrior results in some of their attacks capable of cleaving through several players at once. On a critical attack against the primary threat target, roll for attacks against every other member in the player’s party.
• Shielder | If there are multiple Dragon Knights in combat, every other Dragon Knight except for one designated Lancer will carry a tower shield instead, incapable of attacking. Their MIT will increase by 75 whilst they are defending; they lose this bonus when they swap to a Lancer. 
• Pawn | On any attack against the Lancer, the player must make a separate roll to determine Pawn’s activation. Should that roll’s CD be 6+, the damage taken by the Lancer would instead be taken by the healthiest Dragon Knight in the enemy party.
