Boss maraudeur léger matis

Nuts : Je voulais juste ajouter quelques mots à propos d'un nouveau projet que je lance avec un autre joueur en coopération avec RF.
Tout d'abord, nous sommes seulement au tout début du projet et rien n'en a été validé.

Nous travaillons à l'implatation d'un nouveau Boss maraudeur, en Forêt. Nous avons déjà quelques idées de scénario, de l'endroit où le loger, etc. Mais nous souhaitons ne pas refaire les erreurs faites avec Pei-Ruz. Nous voulons faire quelque chose qui colle à la Lore. C'est pourquoi nous rassemblons des information sur les matis maraudeurs connus.
Nous espérons qu'un jour (non dans un futur proche, mais quand même) ce Boss vivra et nous pensons qu'il sera un bonus pour le jeu qui benéficiera à chaque joueur.

Si vous avez des questions a propos de l'évolution de ce projet, vous pouvez me joindre IRC ou par l'intermédiaire de Tamarea. :-)

What errors were made with Pei-Ruz?

He can kill from a distance without moving towards you, with a sword.

He should be dead since a long time, because no homin and no creature can live a long time in the goo, it's lethal.

Or... maybe he has the antidote, or some deal with whomever spreading the goo to provide some protection?!?

There is no antidote, a homin (or a creature) can't stay alive if staying a long time in Goo. But this boss has been created in a time when devs were adding things without asking for Lore validation, that's why it's an addition out of Lore. And unfortunately it would be too much work to fix it now.

so remove it.

Agan: Well, it's one of the nicest NPC bosses in terms of needing good teamwork to to bring him down.

Tamarea: I'll take your word about the design not consulting with Lore, but your statement about creatures staying alive in the Goo is wrong, and the wrongness goes back a long way.

1) Goo contaminated kipesta in the camp of Masters of the Goo.
2) The large two-trunked twining trees that have colonized all the places where the Goo is close to Witherings.
3) Numerous examples of Goo-contaminated beasts that have lived (and even bred) for many Years of Jena. Some in Silan, even. ( I am discounting such things as the Goo-Javings, and Goo-gibbai, that were parts of Marauder plots some time back. They never lasted long enough to show if they were viable or not.)

Even homins can be un-affected by Goo if they use their Invulnerability Power. That cannot be the case with Pei-Ruz since he clearly can act and be damaged, but perhaps his magical training has allowed him to isolate the damage caused by Goo and find a power to block it.

Hello guys,

1) Are you sure the kipesta in cage is a contaminated one ? But anyway we could imagine they replace it form time to time.
2) True, we have many large Alineas on goo in jungle.
3) The Goo contamined beast are supposed to die after a certain time.
But by the time they live they could contaminate others. It would be a turn over. Of course it's more easy to let a spot of goo-beast alive unless players kill them, and let players imagine this turn over.

And as we already replied some times ago in #pub-event-lore, normal beasts wandering on goo without problem is a "mistake". But if having them dying would be the case, players would certainly find a way to exploit this for fast xp ?

My comment was simply a lore augmentation to be able to "fix" it.

The point of lore is they grow and have some element of truth and some element of exaggeration, right?

Maybe he gets "replaced" time to time. Anyone remember the concept of "Dread Pirate Roberts" from " The Princess Bride"?

Again, I only suggested some ways out that would explain away his survival.
