46 Bigoted Boss Battles

"I don't care what the weird red woman said, I'm not staying in a party with some evil devil spawned creature that's going to kill or curse us as soon as its convenient!" Screeches Hilda as the other three members of the party stare at her with various looks of surprise.

"The same evil devil spawn that cooked our dinner, brought the only water and mead between any of us, carries most of our medicine, and grappled with a giant poisonous beast bare handed so that you wouldn't die? Yup gonna say shut the hell up right now Hilda or your on your own in this place after this night." Elrick says before he takes another bite of his skewer and groans happily before glancing at Chunk with a smile.

"Yea be nice to Chunsly! He saved us Hilda plus his cooking is really yummy! Its like sweet and spicy and savory with sticky sauce and the meat melts when you nibble it!" Mumbles Jenny as she hides behind the rotund wereboar that continues to eat his food, one ear perked up the only clue that he's still listening.

"Ish called jerk seasoning Jens, you take fruit juices and sugars and mix them with spices and peppers and marinate the meat til its tender. Momma used to make it for me and my pop before they disappeared. The herbs in it help cancel out my transformation and also helps the rage settle." Mumbles Chunk through a mouth full of food.

"Fine I'll stay on my side of the clearing and you freaks stay on your side. We'll deal with the damn boss and then we can let the town deal with the hellspawn." Hilda snaps as she tears another chunk from her jerky before crawling into her tent and leaving the party alone.

'I don't think I like the tall one. She's kind of a bitch, reminds me of an ex from high school. Plus she's treating her party like garbo. Spooky when they enter your battle your allowed to eat her. Problem solved.' I say happily as the castyr boss smiles maliciously.

"Um....Kyle....did you just nonchalantly sentence a young woman to death just because she's a toxic asshole? You sure you want to go down that path hun, doesn't seem like your usual style." Tilly says cautiously as she looks down at the crystal that forms my core.

'I'm not sentencing her to anything she doesn't deserve. I know her type of person from my old life. Pretty, Privileged and willing to do anything as long as it gets her what she wants. She already said she'd inform everyone of what Chunk is but since Anissa hasn't done anything about it I have to assume that she see's the value of his curse. If Hilda tells the lovely bandit town of Chunks curse then the party may be forced to choose sides. Elrick seems smart and he'd throw his own in with Chunk to save the party and Jenny seems like a follower so they'll both be persecuted as well. Hilda or the trio, I pick the trio of future adventurers with talent over a toxic teen with judgement issues.' I explain as Tilly's worry disappears from her face and she nods gravely as we watch the party begin to prepare after packing up their camp.

"Ok guys we all have our new gear and a quest from the dungeon to finish. We all got new stuff from the dungeon so or old trash gear is replaced. SOME of us were lucky to get a replacement weapon but we should still be careful, the boss is reported to be a speed type beast that picks off the squishies first. Jenny you stay in the center while Hilda defends your front. Me and Chunk will engage while you heal and buff." Elrick says as everyone nods, a vile smile on Hilda's face as they enter the boss room.

Looking around the forested room the group enter the clearing and instead of the usual emptiness, sitting on its haunches the boss creature waits for the group. Its eyes shine intelligently as the group approaches the beast slowly, confusion on their faces. Before any of them can question it the beasts mouth opens and gruff words come from its fanged maw.

"Prey enter home. But prey fight as pack. Pack not one but two. Pack kill no pack, Spooky allow prey freedom." The boss says in a beastial growl before text appears in front of each of the party members.

{The Floor Boss Spooky, Venomous Night Touched Castyr Alpha, has watched your pack enter his hunting grounds. As an alpha of his own pack he acknowledges your tight knit pack but has warned you of someone out for themselves. He has issued you a quest that by killing the offending party member, he will allow you to pass through his domain without combat. The choice is yours!} Appears in front of the faces of Chunk, Elrick, and Jenny.

{The Floor Boss Spooky, Venomous Night Touched Castyr Alpha, has witnessed your betrayal of your pack. He is insulted that one would betray their pack so easily over trivial issues and has labeled you as easily replaced. If your party accepts his challenge they will kill you for your weakness. Lets hope they like you more than combat.} Appears before Hilda's face as her skin turns pale and her eyes widen in terror.

'When did Spooky become able to give out quests!?!?' I yell in surprise watching the group look towards each other

"Relax Hilda, your still in our party til town. Lets kill this monster and then get the hell home." Elrick says as everyone else nods before a savage laugh echoes through the room.

"Weak alpha, weakness must be killed to keep pack strong. Let me demonstrate." Whispers the voice as several needles pierce through Hilda's Chest and throat, blood flinging onto Jenny in front of her as the tall girl falls forward, gurgling loudly before her body shakes once more before going still.
