>Ask the cleric what she knows about the current dungeon layout.

Cleric: I started in the boss's chamber, and got as far as that guard post. I had to heal up after I pounded the guards. That's as much as I know.
Elf: I don't think any of us get much of an idea of the layout. I don't think the lich likes spoilers.
Cleric: Oh, you talk. Interesting.

> Gather supplies for great glory.

The supply room is full of broken barrels. There are two bottles of potion on the floor. Neither you, nor your companions can identify them, which means they are definitely not healing potions. Likely dangerous. Auto-looted, and given to the elf for storage.

There are six hooks on the wall, and each of them holds a large cord of about 50 feet of rope. Sanjeliza takes one off the hooks, and another full cord appears a moment later. It looks like a near infinite supply of rope has been provided to you. Too bad she can't carry it all.

[squeakyReaper]

Bah, there goes my plan of starting a rope selling business.  Going through hell to get another load is too much work.

> South, boss-ward

[Darvi]

>Ambush the boss with the trap.

I'm voting a good silver that the first bit of fan art will involve the trap.

[Willfor]

> South, boss-ward

>Ambush the boss with the trap.

You enter the boss chamber.



You are the pink dot. The gray dots are guards, small wisps of fire contained within what looks like halfling-sized plate armor. They don't look very sturdy. The purple dot is the boss who looks too concerned with the ritual he's performing to chase after you.

Oh, and the red are pools of magma that look like they've eaten at the surrounding rock.

[squeakyReaper]

> Split up and search for clues murder fire imps, gang!

[Willfor]

> Split up and search for clues murder fire imps, gang!

Herrina immediately nails one of the imps with a fire bolt, smashing its armor to pieces, and scattering its essence on the wind. The elf goes west, and uses the bear trap to attack. The trap snaps shut, cutting the imp's armor in half, and its flame extinguishes.

Sanjeliza moves south to confront the boss. The remaining imps close, and block her path. Neither of them can do any damage to her though. Three imps spawn from the magma to her sides...

[squeakyReaper]

This is either a sign to push harder or to pull back, as an infinite amount of fire imps will be spawned.

> Herrina, can you contain the essence?
> PUSH THROUGH

[Darvi]

Let the CoDzilla tank the imps.

[Willfor]

> Herrina, can you contain the essence?
> PUSH THROUGH

Let the CoDzilla tank the imps.

Cleric: Ugh, fine, you can take care of mister ascension.

It appears the elf and cleric should be able to keep the imps at bay. Neither party will be mentioned unless something in this balance shifts.

That leaves Sanjeliza and the boss.

Ascending Cleric: Ah, a demoness has come to tempt me. I'm a little too busy to --

She then, of course, whips him with both of her swords at once. The magic protecting him is strong though, and they don't do as much damage as they should have.

[squeakyReaper]

> Say a catchy one liner.  Something like "Tempt this"

Do so while whipping with your tail, smashing with a flat, something that would be blunt and pushy.

Sanjeliza: Why would I need to tempt you when I can --

*tail slap to the back of the head*

Sanjeliza: -- show you the lights. ... Now I have this feel a self-loathing.
Longsword: You need shaded glasses to pull off a line like that. If I had eyes, they would be rolling right now.
Sanjeliza: Rolling right out of your head.

The ascending cleric was lying in a pile a few feet from the very small altar he'd been working at. It looked like whatever magic had been protecting him went away at the last moment.

Then, a moment later, a man with golden, feathery wings was standing in from of her.

Ascended Cleric: I feel sorry for you. This --

*puts on shaded glasses*

Ascended Cleric: -- is going to be a clean-up.
Sanjeliza: No, Longsword, I still don't think it works very well. Even with the glasses.
Longsword: I've been wrong before.

[Darvi]

The cleric most likely doesn't have TRAPAVOID. Use the trap!

[squeakyReaper]

The elf used the trap already.

Uhh.  Elf and Cleric are helping to tank...

> Herrina, anything specific I should know about whatever in the eighth hell your master was doing?

[Willfor]

The cleric most likely doesn't have TRAPAVOID. Use the trap!

The elf takes a moment out of battling the imps, acknowledges your order, and throws the trap at the ascended cleric. ... For a critical hit.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I usually hide mechanics, but I thought it would be interesting to note that despite this boss's massive amount of health, that bear trap just took 1/2th of it in a single blow.

Cleric: He was trying to fuse his blood with an angel's. Looks like he just did it, too. Kind of.

She has to get back to the imp battle though because it's getting frantic.

The ascended cleric is still getting used to his new body. Especially with a bear trap covering his face. His attack with a sword misses Sanjeliza. Sanjeliza launches another attack at him with both of her swords. The ascended cleric looks like he's feeling a goodly amount of pain, and is winding down fast.
