Now that that is out of the way-

The earth shakes as the Kapa Boss wades into his ruined city. Undershell now smolders under dying embers, which is the opposite of the turtle monster’s feelings. Because he rages.

“HOW DARE THEY!” the Kapa Boss screams to himself, his mind unable to reconcile the destruction he sees with the image of the three fleeing skeleton warriors. For years, the Kapa Boss has toiled in the darkness of the first layer of hell. Years.

All wasted by one human wizard. The Kapa vows to find the mortal and violate his corpse! No doubt, the Kapa Boss thinks the coward is still hiding in the swamp, waiting for his now-dead minions to clear all threats.

The Kapa boss stomps into his founding city, remembering how he helped his people build the walls and guard towers that marked the beginning of Kapa civilization. The giant turtle laments the loss of his people, who no doubt fled into the lower levels of hell to escape mere skeletons. The only problem… is that lower depths have not yet been brought to this plane of existence, something the Kapa Boss would have been able to sense instinctually. Meaning that his people are lost to time and space. Mercifully stuck in limbo, but probably dead or worse… food for demons too terrible to be drawn to this world by a mere dungeon.

The Boss will need to start anew. Rebuild his race, guard a new generation. He was content to stay on this level of hell, beyond the twisting uncertainty of the surface, but… no more. This Boss will lead a new generation. Legion strong. Dominating not only this dungeon but the surface and beyond.

Of course, while the Boss is thinking this, he doesn’t notice the Minor Liche, having climbed to the top of the last standing guard tower, weaving a spell of destruction-

“Unholy Light!”

The Boss moves with surprising quickness for his size. He turns to the source of the spell and sees the lone Minor Liche, his body covered in a black-tattered cloak that seems to wave independently of any wind. He watches the spell rise higher and higher into the air but doesn’t see an effect. In fact, besides the strange purple light that throbs with eldritch purpose, nothing is threatening about the strange flicking orb.

The Boss laughs.

“All this destruction was caused by this skeleton. This mockery of the dark arts!?” the Kapa Boss thinks as his laughter grows hysterical, and the city shakes from his voice.

And as the Boss’s laughter goes higher and higher, so does his size. Somehow, the turtle monster from hell’s first layer grows even larger. More menacing, as tusks sprout from his underbite, his shell warping to make way for large brown and black spikes in contrast to his shell’s brown and yellow coloring.

The Kapa Boss flexes, his muscles gaining new weight and definition, causing the ground beneath his feet to sink even more from the considerable weight. His face broadens and twists into an even more demonic visage, and the bowl at the top of his head glows warm with new inner heat as steam rises.

And when he stops laughing, he roars.

And the sound is deafening, enough to kill an army of men and orcs and even stun a dragon. But worse is the fire.

Terrible, hot, and all-engulfing! The flame covers the Liche, the tower, and everything in between for miles. Nothing could survive that.

Nothing not already dead, anyway.

***

Matt stands amidst the conflagration. The heat pours into and through him. He feels his life nearly flicker away as the flames melt his bones.

But then he remembers the effect Unholy Light-

Unholy Light : As long as this light glows uninterrupted, provide undead (1) Extra Life. Extra Life is granted in a first come death, first revive fashion. 180-second cooldown. Abuse at will.

And lined his boney index finger up for one shot-

“MAGIC GRADE 2 ACID ARROW”

The Level 4 Acid Arrow travels through flames and splashes into the Kapa Boss’s throat in an emerald tide. The effect is instant-

Kapa Boss has taken Above Average Acid Damage!

Kapa Boss has found a New Source of Rage!

And the real fight begins.
