The Bosses of Spectacles: Bruce’s Story
Posted by John on April 7, 2008
As some of you may know, the original plan was to have the neo-Hippos get eaten and provide new abilities to maggie. However, this has been changed so that the other members are available for use in a potential sequel. Now maggie eats each character’s special food to gain the aforementioned abilities.
After some debating over the past few days, Bruce and I have semi-finalized the lineup of major Boss Battles:
- Lexington Manor: The Headless Horse. The group enter the manor to find maggie in the process of devouring the boss. maggie explains that she has managed to eat its head, but would welcome some assistance in slaying the Horse.
- Malmagma Manor: The group meets up with the leader of the new-look Hippos. Scott and friends have difficulty with Beverly, but with much help from maggie, the Chinese fiend is defeated. maggie receives Beverly’s special food, “Eggrolls,” following the battle.
- Rainvale Manor: A three-headed dragon awaits the group in this city in the sky. But with the conclusion of the fight, the beast is found to be Cerberus under an enchantment. The triple-headed dog joins the party as Elysia’s faithful pet.
- Subfloor Manor: In this underwater manor, a mechanical shark lurks, waiting for unsuspecting Lucidans to venture down for hidden treasures…
- Snowplain Manor: If the group can manage to find their way through the blinding blizzards on the frozen plains, they must face a pair of Yetis.
- Primata Manor: Up in the tops of the trees hang the obvious signs of another neo-Hippo. The Fattest Telephone Guy has his own personal set of phone lines. Beat him and maggie gets a spool of phone cable to munch on.
- Arivoid Manor: The party’s endurance is put to the test in this barren wasteland. If they don’t die a slow death from dehydration, they must face Gail. Why does Gail live in a desert region? Because she would be unable to reside in Rainvale! If she lived in the wet atmosphere of that region, she couldn’t fly. She can hardly pull it off under normal conditions… so she lives in Arivoid. There she can keep in touch with the Fattest Telephone Guy in Primata while getting a break from the oppressive desert.
- Landring Manor: Here the group faces the Rhinocrush Elephant.
And #9 will remain a secret for now.
