Crystal, Boss 1

[battleshipmod]

You've disarmed all the traps and cleared as much rubble as you can manage. But it's weird, there's a lot of stuff here that doesn't look like it belongs to the spark-sprites... where did all of that come from?

As you look through what you've found, lava goblins pour into the cavern! The spark-sprites are screaming, the goblins are cackling, everything is chaos!

The fighters among you reach for weapons, but one spark-sprite cries, "Don't kill them! There's a curse that will bring the whole cavern down on our heads if a life is taken here!"

Desperate for an advantage, you scatter the treasure around, knowing goblins can't resist shiny things. As the distracted goblins scoop up the treasures, you hastily figure out a strategy for rounding them up and chasing them away.

Crystal collection | Requests | Prompts | AFIRB search

The boss starts with 250,000 hit points. Your found loot of 49,600 reduces that to 200,400. For the rest, post works to the Crystal collection.

During boss battles, works score points. All works scoring more than 10,000 points will count as 10,000 points.

Fic and podfic are worth 1 point per word. Artworks are worth 500 to 1500 points. Artwork is scored as follows:

• 500: the first character, vehicle, or structure depicted in black (or a single color) and white
• 400: each additional character, vehicle, or structure
• 200: each character, vehicle, or structure depicted in full color
• 200: detailed background

No individual artwork may score more than 1500 points; any score greater than that will count as 1500 points. Unique, separately created artworks may be combined in a comic or compilation, for which each artwork will be individually scored (maxing out at 1500 points each) and the scores added, maxing out at 10,000 points.

Each fic, podfic, artwork, or compilation of artworks posted to AO3 as a single work counts as 1 work toward your work cap. Each player is capped at 5 works per boss battle.

Points for fic and podfic will go by the AO3 wordcount. For art, list the points earned in the author's note to make sure the mods score your artwork correctly.

Tags are irrelevant during boss battles, as long as the work fulfills a request.

Team Crystal members (and only Team Crystal members) should post works to the Crystal collection.

Good luck!
