Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jfdlsjfd" data-source="post: 9576181" data-attributes="member: 42856">We exit the Briar of Thorns and reach the Palace of Eternal Dusk.It's a brooding edifice of heavy arches and squat towers, built on an island in a middle of the lake, accessed by three bridges, each leading to a gate. They are the Gate of Carnage, the Gate of Confusion and the Gate of Fear.Apparently, they are labelled for our convenience."A roar rocks the ground. Shambling from behind a crag comes a giant beast, a thing that walks on its hind legs like a man. Each scaly plate armouring its body is the size of knight's shield, each horny claw as thick as a spear's shaft. Where it places its feet, the snow melts and scant grass is left withered and scorched."See? The writing can be cool and evocative. [ATTACH=full]395254[/ATTACH]Meet Gristun the Ghoul, giant guardian of the Palace of Eternal Dusk.We've been told we must fight him, but since the book lies to us all the time, maybe we should play fetch with him to pass the boss fight?It stands between us and the bridges to the palace.[ATTACH=full]395255[/ATTACH]And it will be tough. It cannot oneshot Trixie, but it will most probably kill her with 2 solid hits, and that means 2 or 3 attacks.And it can't be one-shot even by a Nemesis Blot (maximum theoretical damage 53, average 28.)</blockquote>
