While the various individuals are going through the Madness Maze, I have a bigger problem being solved.
Namely that.
That part of every Dungeon that leads to fear crawling in the gut.
That’s right!
Floor Masters!
They also go by other names like Party Killers, Death Incarnate, Bosses, and Rat Bastards.
Every floor boss is unique, and every five bosses is uniquely powerful, but it’s the bosses every fifty levels that will be broken.
*Broken?*(Dryad)
*Broken!*(Tree)
Broken, as any indecent gamer understands the term, is a boss that is without question, unfair.
Not just unfair they cheat.
For instance, a boss that when they hit 5% on the health meter they gain Aura of Life Drain. Then of course they proceed to wipe the entire army arrayed against them in three seconds flat.
Or the demonic type boss that is supposed to be weak to holy, but actually powers up from holy attacks.
Those types of bosses are considered ‘broken’ some even say ‘cheats’ in any manner, those types of guys are what I’m aiming for.
*Didn’t you want to gain more refined Chaos from the delvers too? In that case don’t all the bosses need to be defeatable?*(Dryad)
*….why did you have to remind me!*(Tree)
In that case every ten floors. I can’t have a cheat boss right away I guess, that would scare away the delvers.
Since the population of dungeon running according to Emily is around 80% male, that is a good thing.
Female floor bosses are always a big draw.
*Abilities are up to you, but aesthetics is mine!*(Dryad)
*What? I can design nice looking female bosses too!*(Tree)
*No. Just….no.*(Dryad)
*This requires a valid explanation!*(Tree)
*Breasts too big, legs too long, hands too soft, eyes too large, hair too easily used as a handhold in combat. Limited magic, limited physical structure, limited….*Dryad*
*Those! Those were just…experiments! Yes! Experiments! Of course they might go wrong…*(Tree)
The sense of a strict schoolteacher staring me down overtakes me and I crumble. Dryad might do something drastic if I don’t fold…
However, I have a plan, heh.
*…Aesthetics is yours, dear.*(Tree)
*I always knew you were a Wise tree, as well as a Chaos one.*(Dryad)
Heh, heh!
I might have lost on designing the body, but the gear is still all up to me!
Take that!
The incredible strategy of piles of silver, to acquire mountains of gold!
I’ll show her, I’ll make the Floor Boss gear so damn good it’s practically a cheat of its own!
To make matters even better, I can try the new technique that came to me when I made the Madness Maze.
Yes, this Soul Binding idea can’t possibly fail me. Dryad will be so surprised!
