First Stratum - Sanctuary of Testimony

We finally made it to the first of many trials. I took the chance to disembark and stand in front of the thing we sought for days to find.

The ship was parked right in front of the sanctuary -- a massive white building made of a marble-like material and gilded with golden linings all about in several wing patterns climbing the columns. The front double door towers over 30 feet high, sealed with an eye shape on the front. The iris of the eye shape is made with a large golden flower segmented into 8 parts, with the top most portion made of a red material.

Far back from the front door of the sanctuary, there is a strange column of light with an image of the town shown through it as I peer into the light. It appears to be a way back, and probably to here now that we've finally made it.

I touch the door, seeing if I can even budge the door, and both doors swing open with a massive creaking sound that can be heard echoing up to very far away. The inside of the sanctuary is a large ring with stands all about, much like a court room with a podium stand in the center. The room is lit by a few opening vents in the wall with bright sunlight peeking through.


This... this is the sanctuary...? It looks like some kind of trial room.

Suddenly, a strange, high pitch laugh echoed through the halls and a mass of shadows began to swirl onto the podium, collecting into something sinister.... A massive upset forms, taking the form of a massive Upset core with with strange, smoking curls. It's arms are massive and bulging with muscles, as it wields two large mallets and glows a purple color with an intimidating aura!
I had no way of facing this alone -- time to get out of here and get everyone!

The following RP is a BOSS FIGHT

Boss fights use a few different mechanics!

When it is the boss's turn next, you must roll the "Adv Monster Atk" IN ADDITION to the "Target Party of X" Die. If you roll the modifier for your post, click on the "+" box after the box that says "Dice rolls". This will allow you to roll an extra dice. 

The "Adv Monster Atk" dice works like this: It is a die numbered 1 - 6. Each number represents a different attack from the monsters stated move list. 

The monster's move list will vary in different attacks. Some attacks may hit the whole party, while others hit only one. The move list is stated on the post that shows the monster's stats. 

Heres how the whole process works in a typical situation:

1. Person one attacks
-Roll to hit
-Roll Advanced enemy attack

2. The next person goes after the boss. If they were hit, they show their HP or the HP of whoever was the target of the previous attack. Additionally, if the boss used an attack against the WHOLE party, this person shows the party's HP after the damage.

ADDITIONALLY:
Some bosses may have conditional techniques, so be careful!

PAY ATTENTION TO POSTS BEFORE YOU SO YOU KNOW WHICH ATTACKS ARE DAMAGING YOU TOO!

A party must be formed before doing this battle. 

Post with a character remark to be added to the party list.
If you are not here when your turn is up and a certain time has passed, your turn will be skipped.
A lack of posting may result in exclusion from stat bonuses and prizes.

Valinea walks into the area, and steps into her part of the formation

She walks in ready to defend everyone from what's beyond the door.

Lionel steps up behind Valinea. His sword at his side and his personal feelings left on the ship.

Averia steps through behind Reiko

Illium walks over to Val, awaiting orders

Komali stands beside Routier, watching Illium from a distance and admittedly a little nervous.

*He enters into the area, taking a deep breath and getting into a stance behind Val*
