The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

Let us proceed.

*BOSS STRIFE!*

Keldeo: Ah, excellent! let's see what replacement boss our friendly Narrator has!

*HYRDO LORD challenges you with an evil laugh!*

Keldeo: Oh, come on...

*YEP! It's the Hydro Lord, which, as an entity who wounded the Lava Lord, is obviously dangerous in his own right. Sivelos probably knows more about this than the rest of you do. All you need to know is, this room is absolutely perfect for fighting this guy on roughly equal terms.*

[Sir Sivelos]

Well what do you know! Guys, we're in for a fight.

Hydro Lord: Indeed! I am one of the most powerful of the Upper Lords. *HYDRO LORD immediately starts off by flooding the entire room with a level 9999 SURF!*

Ow! Okay, guys, his weakness is- *SIVELOS is interrupted by a PRESSURE CRUSH to the face. The entire weight of the ocean immediately crushes SIVELOS, causing cavitation bubbles to cause bursts of fire damage and temporary blindness.*

Hydro Lord: Going around spouting my weakness is not a good idea, guppy. You're in my territory now. **If you hadn't noticed, the water that flooded the room from Hydro Lord's surf… hasn't gone away. The fight is now underwater, giving a large advantage to Hydro Lord.**

*The Author is a Keldeo and is just as much in his element-and mercifully the cave roof is rather high. As for Ominous, he's got some very high perssure ratings AND waterproofing. Light Chaos, meanwhile, breathes entirely anaerobically and henceforth does not need air in any fashion.*

*Everyone else is Drowning-while Drowning, you cannot make a move to defend yourself in any manner and you take 1/20 of your HP in damage. Really painful way to go. THis includes you, Silvy.*

*Unfortunately, when I said the battle was on a field of roughly equal terms, I meant 'he will not be able to Roflstomp you because half of your party is drowning, including everyone who could cast Waterbreath.' Inside this room, as logically are all others, are electricity-charged crystals. These Volt Crystals prevent Hydro Lord from going beyond a anticancer point-giving him enough water to work with and copious room, but leaving dry platforms around the edge of the room he cannot flood without risking the extremely damaging crystals. And of course, The Author gets free reign because he's a Keldeo. Just expect Hydro Lord to exploit those crystals, they're extremely damaging to you too. As in 'if you were at an appropriate level for this Dungeon and the monsters within would pose the usual challenge, those crystals would one-shot you, but you're too tough for that so it'll two-shot you instead.'*

*exploits the abundance of water to summon a flock of Water Elemental Birds*

[Sir Sivelos]

*Hydro Lord brings the entire weight of the water down onto the party, forcing everyone onto the ground, similar to an effect of heavy gravity. Anyone who happened to be in the air takes large damage. The Water Elemental Birds are quickly killed by the powerful currents.*

*Sivelos gets back up from Hydro Lord's PRESSURE CRUSH, and gives Tazz and everyone else a telepathic message…*

Tazz, his weakness is evaporation! Using fire to evaporate him will weaken him severely! Thing is though, when it comes to damage, Hydro Lord doesn't have a specific weakness. He has a boat load of resistances, and electricity heals him.

*HYDRO LORD seems to be beating on SIVELOS harder than anyone else… Keeping a liability on the field is dangerous, after all.*

Hydro Lord: No hard feelings, guppy. I just warped here and was told I am the boss of this dungeon. Just doing my job! *HYDRO LORD uses a level 9999 FLASH FREEZE on SIVELOS! SIVELOS is currently knocked unconscious. HYDRO LORD turns his attention to TAZZ.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*MIDboss of the dungeon. In any case, a closer inspection of the Crystals by Author (who could easily rise to the top of the water himself, screw the additional weight) have resistance-piercing energy and absorbation-nulling energy...Granted, this is probably a gimmick for a boss that was supposed to be here, but the appearance of a certain SOMEONE changed a few plans...*

Author: Can it. You changed the boss!

*In any case, none of you are Fire specialists bar possibly Wander...And none of you, bar the aformentioned entities and possibly Wander can do jack and s**t underwater while Drowning. Sivelos dies as a result of Drowning Damage and re-spawns on the dry land above the battlefield. Meanwhile, Ominous casts GROUP LIGHTWEIGHT, which only has 1 level. In exchange for halved defense, they can now jump and run much higher...But not high enough. Not like they could do that anyways. Drowning.. Fortunately, Sivelos happens to know Waterbreathing spells...You just have to hit one of your own so they can, you know, live.*

*Author gets away from the Water for now and gets on the platform you are on, currently.*

Author: Somehow I don't think this encounter was totally balanced. This is what poorly winging it looks like, mate!

*Oh, quiet you.*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS quickly casts Waterbreathing spells on the whole group, bar those who don't need it.*

*LC's BLAZE OF GLORY, which deals fire damage, nails Hydro Lord in the gut.*

Hydro Lord: Guh…! …Heh, it's been a long time, Chaos. Or Light Chaos. Whatever. *Hydro Lord casts an AQUA RING on himself, giving him a constant Regeneration effect. Hydro Lord uses a Level 9999 WHIRLPOOL… which may not seem bad, if it weren't for the fact that it's basically a black hole, pulling anyone into it and dealing insane amounts of damage. The pull is so powerful, even Author is having a bit of trouble resisting it.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Does it need to be repetitively said that there IS Dry Land?! Especially egregious since Author is STANDING ON SAID DRY LAND. Also, you. If you weren't, you'd be Drowning and unable to do your actions.*

*Ominous casts STONEFOOT, which basically overrides LIGHTWEIGHT and grounds them, halving acrobatic manuvers to double defense. Interestingly, this has the side effect of making them heavier, resisting the pull more.*

*Tazz casts STONEFOOT as well, doubling the effect.*

*Rebecca casts it a third time, which forces anyone trapped in the whirlpool to come down away from it they are now so heavy. You can barely move under all of that water, but you're basically going to have a hard time dying. Even Tazz.*

*Author uses LV. 5000 Blizzard, freezing the center top area in incredibly thick ice. Currently it's spinning around rapidly due to the whirlpool.*
