Brittany Sewers, Boss Fight

A great evil lurks deep in the heart of the Brittany Sewers. Exploring deep into this massive underground scene reveals greater and greater challenge, culminating in a unique boss fight.

When the players drop into boss fight room, they'll see several shadowy figures performing an arcane ritual in the center of a cavernous room, complete with candles and corpse. They may soon realize they've entered a room with only a single locked door past the ritual at the far end of the room. They need to deal with the ritualists if they want to escape, but none of them seem happy to entertain visitors.

Approaching the ritualists starts the fight scenario--the entry is blocked (no reinforcements allowed!) and the enemies begin fighting. When the ritualists are defeated, another, greater threat appears out of the sewer water: animated skeletons. Defeating the skeletons catches the attention of their three masters, the ultimate bosses of the room.

Dying at any point resets the boss fight scenario, but defeating all enemies opens up the locked door mentioned above. Past the door is a tunnel that leads to a treasure room and an exit back to the main tunnels of the sewer.

Keith designed the boss fight, room and its new combat system which is used to manage waves of enemies and the rewards following the defeat of each wave (for example, unlocking a door).
