battleshipexWith cunning and persistence, you've disarmed all the traps! And you're rich again, which is a nice bonus.
As you approach the doorway, the cloud of darkness fragments and blows away. You've learned to be wary, so you tiptoe through the door and find yourselves in what appears to be someone's personal library. There are bookshelves from floor to ceiling, some full of books and scrolls, others empty. At one end of the room is a high-end stereo system; at the other is a fireplace with a cozy armchair in front of it. A few of you sigh wistfully. Wouldn't it be nice to stop and rest and read for a bit?
But you really want to get out of Tarina's castle, so you look around for a way out.
There isn't one. You're trapped.
Before you can panic, an owl swoops down from the rafters. It's about twice the size of an ordinary owl, and it's wearing gold-rimmed spectacles. "Hello," it says, looking around you. "Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude, but you all have the look of creative people."
You all nod. "We're writers, artists, and performers," someone says. "But what does that have to do with anything?"
The owl waves its wing at the vacant shelves. "My library is incomplete," it says. "Will you help me fill it with more stories, art, and recordings? By which I mean," it adds with an apologetic cough, "I won't show you the way out until you do."
Maybe you will panic after all. There are a lot of empty shelves. How long will this take?
"Hey," one person says, "can we give you our loot instead? You can trade it for books!"
A few people grumble at that, but it's too late; the offer has been made. The owl looks over your accumulated treasures. "That will help a bit," it allows. "But I don't think you have enough to fill my library. You'll just have to create the rest."
Weary as you are, you know there's no other choice. You hand over your loot and pull out the tools of your trade.
Then you hear a soft popping sound. You look up to see a storybook has materialized out of nowhere, ready to be added to the shelves. It seems the mysterious benefactors with the gem balloons aren't done helping you yet. Heartened by their support, you set to work.
Tower boss 2 progress tracker
The boss starts with 200,000 hit points. Your found loot of 38,400 reduces that to 161,600. For the rest, post works to the Team Tower collection.
During boss battles, fic and podfic are worth 1 point per word. The base value of art is 750 points for a sketch of one character on a plain background, with additional points given for each layer of complexity: 300 bonus points per character after the first one (including animals), 300 for color, 300 for shading, 300 for a background. Updated rules for round 2: Comics are welcome, as long as each panel is individually drawn, and each unique drawing of a character is worth 300 points. Artists, please help the mods by listing the points earned in your author's note, so we can score your artwork correctly.
Tags are irrelevant during boss battles, as long as the work fulfills a request.
Anyone may contribute to a team's collection during that team's boss battles, whether they're on the team or not. Treasure hunters, if you want to help a team, this is your moment. Team members, bribery or repayment of any kind is not permitted, but feel free to encourage your friends to join the fun out of the goodness of their hearts and the joy of making treats.
Good luck!
