The second of the paired bosses died much faster than the first one, and Dana realized that there was a reason they were supposed to focus on them, and it wasn’t survivability.
They shared a buff, and when both were alive, they both took less damage. So, you had to kill one first, and then you could more easily kill the other.
The warriors slumped to the ground as the second boss died, and the cleric turned his eyes to the sky.
"You know, we’re likely to get the same issue with the last boss as well. But at least this one didn’t give us any new surprise messages." He muttered.
"That’s because we took damage. We will have to work on that until we can do a perfect run." Lotus agreed.
The Cleric gave her a confused look. "I thought you enjoyed your job?"
Lotus nodded. "I do. But I like it even better when I know that it is just for moral support and nobody would actually die if I messed it up."
"That is somehow exactly the sort of answer that I should have expected. Fortunately, the rest of the dungeon is just a straight damage test, and it looks like our team has more than enough, even with these tougher bosses."
After a short rest, they all got moving again. But their motivation was a direct contrast to Karl’s current situation, as he worked his way through stack after stack of clothing that Rae had made.
There would be enough that he could put a dozen pieces a day on the market and not run out for the rest of the month. But Karl suspected that Rae would have objections to that plan.
She wanted her clothing distributed.
In fact, she wanted it so much that she had wandered out into the city to start selling some of it herself to people who looked like they needed a makeover.
Karl sighed as the Gargoyles reported that there was a large group of women at the house, about to knock on the door. He had put the items up for sale, but when he listed them on the Alliance sale boards, there had been no option to do direct sales like there was in the store.
He was avoiding putting Totem Ranked equipment in the Guild Store so that he didn’t get in trouble with Lord Drodh if it made its way into his city.
If he put them up in the general store, someone would definitely start reselling them, or a certain fashion obsessed spider would start giving them to the employees, and that would cause even more questions and envy. They were already wearing clothes worth a small fortune as their uniforms.
If they were high fashion as well, the Demons would never let them sleep. It would be an eternal loop of design requests.
The Gargoyles led the pack of excited young ladies into the house, where they quickly surrounded Karl’s worktable.
"I have separated them into three different groups, based on the major buffs. The secondary abilities vary, but if you stick to one pile, you will get a similar major buff.
Please don’t mess up the sorting as you look for your perfect item.
I was going to hang them on racks, but you got here a bit faster than expected." Karl explained.
