You manage to add a little ICE to your BONE CLAWS just as Bea’s STUN FLAIL darts for your waist like a viper! Dropping below it like a limbo pole, you immediately segue into a backflip and drag your claws along the platform’s marble-like floor causing streaks of frost to scar its surface!
“Watch your step, Bea.” Warns Curt as he materializes next to you! “You as well, Parble.” Swiping at his head, your attack is soundly thwarted when his eyes emit a blinding light! Though you manage to close your eyes just in time to avoid being affected, you open them just as the mage sends a wave of crackling energy rushing towards you in a broad cone!
Leaping to avoid the attack, you find yourself in perfect STUN FLAIL RANGE! As you realize your mistake, Bea helpfully demonstrates it for you as she immediately rushes you with a flurry of swipes!
“We! Never! Got! To! Spar!” Advancing with each swing of her flail, the agile amazon keeps you on your toes! With each of her steps equating to about three of yours, it doesn’t take much for her to keep up! To make matters worse, the brains of the outfit takes the opportunity to warp far out of the arena and pepper you with a cornucopia of magical projectiles!
“FIREBOLT! ELDRITCH BLAST! FROG’S REVENGE! FLARE!”
Dancing between the flail and the spells, you use the confusion to your advantage and get Bea to follow you onto the ICEY DIVOTS you carved earlier!
“Careful, you foo-”
No dice, pal! Placing one of her mammoth boots onto the frost, the security goon tumbles almost immediately! Falling towards you like a felled redwood, she lets out a panicked ‘WOAH!’ before slamming into the ground TWICE as fast thanks to Curt’s HASTE buff! Nice going, nerd!
Slapping a gauntlet across her mask to regain focus, Bea sweeps at you from the ground with her flail, and just as you leap into the air to avoid her, you feel yourself become lighter–almost as if you were in space or something!
“Look out, Stan!”
Ly’s warning couldn’t have come any quicker! Spinning towards Curt’s last position, you find him holding you aloft with a telekinetic hand!
“Avoid THIS, vermin!”
As he moves to fling you into the abyss, a familiar fuzzy face peeks out from the back of his coat! Wasting no time in pouncing on his face, Lil’ Stanley’s distraction is just what you need to ‘swim’ free of Curt’s grasp just in time to avoid a few swipes from below by Bea’s weapon!
