Beggar and Zod

"Zod you old fool! Get in there and cause some havoc! I can almost smell the dungeon we were sent to attack. Just imagine the power we can get from the great lord by bringing back the core and his slave!" Shouts the troll as spittle flies from its mouth, a boisterous laugh filling the silence as it scratches its neck.

"Hrrrg. Hurggmmmh..." Moans the king from his mount, the disturbing horse snorting in disdain as it glares at the gaudily dressed troll.

"Oh don't be so miserable 'my liege'! Hah! Get it? Because your a failed king that now has the jester in charge! Heh stupid crypt thing, Maybe I'll get lucky and you'll somehow die in the baby dungeon! No more Zod, the old miser finally put to rest while the heroic Beggar brings his slayer to justice!" Shouts the troll as the duo finally stand before the entrance to the dungeon, the forms of several retreating warriors can be seen running into the depths in an attempt to escape the pair of bosses.

"Mr. Kyle you have incoming baddies! They're the ones we've heard about and that's the thing that attacked my family! We need to kill it!" Sarah says viscously while staring at the form of Beggar.

'Relax Sarah, once they enter our dungeon its a matter of time. All of the people you brought are being housed in the area for farming that we made until we need them. Just make sure they don't wander and listen to Tyr and Iron. All our mobs are set to their actual levels and abilities and our bosses are set to their max levels available. Plus we have a screen set up so our safe adventurers can see the true power of our little family so far.' I say happily as the poor girl relaxes slightly, still glaring at the idiotic troll that's doing some kind of garish dance in front of our entrance.

"Just remember to take them seriously Kyle. The king is one thing but just because that troll is dressed like a fool and acts the part doesn't mean he's weak. He made it to the rank of a boss and that means he's no stranger to combat." Emi reminds me as I nod and watch the duo step foot within my dungeon.

"Fluffy things and bugs with wings! Hah just some lowly beasts!" Shouts Beggar as a viscous looking dagger appears in his hand, the blade dripping with a black sludgy substance as it imbeds itself into a blighted castyr.

Zod grunts as a grat dive bombs his helmeted head, the strange insect coughing a sludge onto the king before his blade bisects the creature, sending both pieces flying into the castyr's behind it. Nodding to himself the king advances on the trio of landbound rodents before feeling a burning sensation in his back. Turning towards the feeling he see's a skull bouncing along his back as the gravecrawler repeatedly injects venom into his body using the stingers on its tentacles.

"Zod! Don't play with your food. Wipe them out and don't get distracted by the buggies!" Shouts Beggar hysterically as he backhands another castyr that popped up in front of him, the poor creature spinning once in the air before landing on its neck with a crunch. Slowly the two bosses finally finish off the mobs of the first floor, Zods victims lie where they fell. Their wounds show efficient attacks on weak points making the creatures deaths quick while Beggars victims show signs of brutalization, many of them dying with pieces missing from their bodies or poison still flowing from painful wounds meant to inflict suffering more than damage. Both bosses begin making their way towards the back of the room, each looking around for traps or useful items before they reach the back of the room and face towards the longer of two hallways.

"Zod you go first. There's a boss down that way. We kill it and take its power then move forward." growls the troll seriously as the king groans and moves his steed into the hallway and towards the boss threat.

"Spooky just remember that your allowed to go full bore at these two. No holds barred, no mercy, and make them hurt!" Tilly shouts as cheers resound around the core room as the rest of our bosses and sentient mobs cheer on the castyr boss.

"Heh....new...trick...watch...fight..."Spooky says with a viscous smile on his muzzle as he slides into the shadows and fades right when the duo appear in his room. Stalking the two bosses the castyr watches as the troll separates from the corpse wearing armor and wanders into his woods.

"Protect home....kill intruders...' the boss says under his breath before darting forward and lunging towards the steeds throat, his canines growing several inches longer as they pierce the creatures flesh and rend its flesh from its bones. Smiling happily he darts back into the shadows as the kings steed falls to the ground with a gurgle, its health reaching zero before the crypt thing stands and glares at the corpse of its fallen steed.

{New Blueprint Received! Creature Name- Cursed Fallsbreadth Horse Description- Fallsbreadth is known for two things, their extremly potent brews and their extremly dangerous mounts.. Each species of mount that comes from this country is trained as thoroughly as possible to excel as battlefield and war mounts, this horse being no exception. A gift to King Zod in centuries past, this steed was the most powerful of its time and survived countless battles. Sadly this creature was dragged into the curse that affected the rest of its final home. Becoming the cursed mount of the king this once powerful creature became a withered shadow of its former self, its only remaining ability being its powerful but limited magic.}
