Werewolves Revamped - ender-priest-story-time

@Vishnold I: The First Encounter In the Ice Spike Field the Ender Priest is waiting. You approach him, iron chestplate equipped and golden sword ready and your apple in your pocket. The Ender Priest is fiercesome and emits an aura of strength, but you are not scared. The battle begins and it's clear neither has the upper hand, it goes on forever and slowly your armor and sword start to fall apart, but so does the Ender Priest's equipment. You finally manage to injure the Ender Priest and he teleports to a safe distance. Finally, the Ender Priest speaks for the first time: "ᏗᏝᏒᎥᎶᏂᏖ, ᏂᎧᏇ ᏗᏰᎧᏬᏖ ᏖᏂᎥᏕ? ᎩᎧᏬ ᎶᎥᏉᏋ ᎷᏋ ᏖᏂᏗᏖ ᏗᎮᎮᏝᏋ ᏗᏁᎴ ᎥᏝᏝ ፈᏬᏒᏋ ᎩᎧᏬ ᎧᎦ ᏖᏂᏋ ᎴᎥᏕᏋᏗᏕᏋ ᏗᏁᎴ ᏇᏋ'ᏝᏝ ᏠᏬᏕᏖ ᏕᏖᎧᎮ ᎦᎥᎶᏂᏖᎥᏁᎶ?" You agree to the deal and give him your apple and he cures you of the disease. You leave your destroyed equipment behind, now free of the end disease. (edited)

@Bucket Merchant II: The Merchant's Trick You approach the Ice Spike Field and see the Ender Priest waiting. He looks injured so this should be an easy fight. But then you see him eat an apple and his injuries disappear and he seems stronger than ever. Apples do not grow where the Ender Priest is from, so which idiot gave him an apple?!? Well, nothing can be done about that now. With your Golden Chestplate equipped and your stone sword in hand, you finish eating your bread to energize yourself. Then, you engage into a fight with the Ender Priest. His equipment proves to be better than yours. Your chestplate quickly gets damaged beyond repair and finally your sword breaks in two. You realize you are losing this battle, but then, finally you remember your trusty Ink Sac. You throw it at the Ender Priest, perfectly hitting his face, blinding him. You have no weapon left, so you punch him in the face. The Ender Priest teleports a few steps back and starts speaking: "ᏋᏁᎧᏬᎶᏂ! ᎩᎧᏬ ᏇᎥᏁ... ᎦᎧᏒ ᏁᎧᏇ. ᏇᎥᏖᏂᎧᏬᏖ Ꮧ ᏇᏋᏗᎮᎧᏁ ᎩᎧᏬ ፈᏗᏁᏁᎧᏖ ᎴᏋᎦᏋᏗᏖ ᎷᏋ, ᏰᏬᏖ ᏁᏋᎥᏖᏂᏋᏒ ፈᏗᏁ Ꭵ ᎴᏋᎦᏋᏗᏖ ᎩᎧᏬ ᏇᎥᏖᏂᎧᏬᏖ ᏕᏋᏋᎥᏁᎶ. Ꭵ ᏇᎥᏝᏝ ፈᏬᏒᏋ ᎩᎧᏬ ᎧᎦ ᏖᏂᏋ ᎴᎥᏕᏋᏗᏕᏋ ᏗᏁᎴ ᎩᎧᏬ ᏇᎥᏝᏝ ᏝᏋᏗᏉᏋ. ᎴᎧ ᏇᏋ ᏂᏗᏉᏋ Ꮧ ᎴᏋᏗᏝ?". You agree to deal, and leave the Ice Spike Field - cured but without your battle equipment for it had been used in the battle. (edited)

@Captain Viktor Thornheart III: The Prince's Folly You approach the Ender Priest in the Ice Spike Field. To prepare yourself for the fight you eat your bread. When you get close to the Ender Priest you can see he's making a weird face. His eyes are closed. What is going on here? Then he speaks in a deep echoing voice, "ᏂᏋᏝᏝᎧ ᎮᏗᏖᏂᏋᏖᎥፈ ᏂᏬᎷᏗᏁ. Ꭵ ፈᏗᏁ ᎴᏋᎦᏋᏗᏖ ᎩᎧᏬ ᏇᎥᏖᏂ ᎷᎩ ᏋᎩᏋᏕ ፈᏝᎧᏕᏋᎴ." In fear you drop your stone sword, leaving you only with your snowball. But then you gather your courage again. "I will defeat you! With my... Snowball!" you exclaim. "ᎥᏁᏖᏋᏒᏋᏕᏖᎥᏁᎶ. Ꮧ ᏕᏁᎧᏇᏰᏗᏝᏝ ᎩᎧᏬ ᏕᏗᎩ? ᏂᎧᏇ ᏗᏰᎧᏬᏖ Ꮧ ᎴᏋᏗᏝ. ᎩᎧᏬ ᎶᎥᏉᏋ ᎷᏋ ᏖᏂᏋ ᏕᏁᎧᏇᏰᏗᏝᏝ ᏗᏁᎴ Ꭵ'ᏝᏝ ᏕᎮᏗᏒᏋ ᎩᎧᏬ. ᏖᏂᏋ ᎴᎥᏕᏋᏗᏕᏋ ᏇᎥᏝᏝ ᏁᎧᏖ ᏰᏋ Ꮧ ᎮᏒᎧᏰᏝᏋᎷ ᎦᎧᏒ ᎩᎧᏬ ᏗᏁᎩᎷᎧᏒᏋ.", the Ender Priest says. Of course, you agree to deal, giving the Ender Priest your snowball and getting cured of the disease in return. Then the Ender Priest grabs the snowball and... slams it into his faces, making sure it gets into his eyes? What is he doing...? After a bit of time, the Ender Priest finally opens his eyes for the first time. "Ꭵ ፈᏗᏁ ᏕᏋᏋ ᏗᎶᏗᎥᏁ. ᏖᏂᏗᏁᏦ ᎩᎧᏬ ᏂᏬᎷᏗᏁ. ᎩᎧᏬ ፈᏗᏁ ፈᎧᏁᏕᎥᎴᏋᏒ ᎩᎧᏬᏒᏕᏋᏝᎦ ᏝᏬፈᏦᎩ Ꭵ ᏗᎷ Ꮧ ᏋᏁᎴᏋᏒᎷᏗᏁ ᎧᎦ ᎷᎩ ᏇᎧᏒᎴ. ᏝᏋᏗᏉᏋ ᏁᎧᏇ, ᏰᏋᎦᎧᏒᏋ Ꭵ ፈᏂᏗᏁᎶᏋ ᎷᎩ ᎷᎥᏁᎴ." he says and you quickly run away - cured of the disease. (edited)

@Merchant Lauch IV: The Beginning of the End You go to the Ice Spike Field. You're not sure if you're ready, but you're as prepared as you could be. You eat your bread for some energy before the fight and approach the Ender Priest. His face is, weirdly enough, wet, as if he had just washed it. Weird. You throw your snowball at the Ender Priest to slow him down and jump at him with your iron sword. Your plan works. The Ender Priest cannot dodge in time and your sword find it mark - cutting off one of his arms. But it was not enough - the Ender Priest is unphased and stabs you right through your unprotected stomach. "ᎮᏗᏖᏂᏋᏖᎥፈ. ᎩᎧᏬ ᏖᏂᎥᏁᏦ ᏖᏂᎥᏕ ᏂᏬᏒᏖᏕ?", he says, bleeding from his injury, before you fall over and die. You will be remembered as a Hero, taking the first decisive step in winning against the Ender Priest, for even he could not heal from this injury. (edited)

@Brewer V: The Brewer's Battle You approach the Ice Spike field. You see a body lying on the ground, but you pay it no mind. You eat your bread for a final bit of energy, make sure your golden chestplate sits right and get your stone sword ready. And then you see him: The Ender Priest. He has been injured, missing an arm even, but he looks like that doesn't affect him all that much. When you see the Ender Priest ready his bloody blade you gather all your courage and prepare yourself for the hardest fight of your life. And so you fight. The battle goes on for what feels like hours, a never-ending exchange of blows, with neither gaining the upper hand and both combatants having received countless injuries, when finally, you remember something: You brought an ink sac. You begin to grab it from your pocket, but the moment the Ender Priest sees the ink sac, he exlaims "ᎧᏂ ᏁᎧ, ᏁᎧᏖ ᏖᏂᎥᏕ ᏗᎶᏗᎥᏁ" and leaps forward, decapitating you, instantly taking your life. Then he falls to the ground too, exhausted from a fight that lead to him taking many grievous injuries. He would stand up again, of course, but he had been weakend. You would be remembered as a hero, dealing a decisive blow against the Ender Priest giving everyone a chance of winning agaisnt him.

@Mourner VI: The Last Swordfight It is time to end the Ender Priest - you make your way to where the Ender Priest is hiding, followed by your dog. Once you get to the Ice Spike Field you eat your apple to gain a bit more strength before the battle. You start looking for the Ender Priest but are met by a gruesome sight. It seems some of your fellow citizens had not made it. Finally, you spot the Ender Priest - he's in a terrible shape, with one of his arms missing and injuries all over his body. You do a final check of your golden chestplate to make sure it sits right and ready your stone sword. The others had failed, but you could yet succeed - after all the Ender Priest was teribly injured. To start the fight you throw your snowball at him, but he had been expecting this move, not seeing it for the first time. A standard sword fight it will be then, and so the battle begins. Many blows are exchanged and many injuries are traded, but even with the Ender Priests's weakened state, neither can gain the upper hand... until, ultimately the Ender Priest gets a swing through your defenses and knocks you to the ground, preparing for a finishing blow. But, in the very last second he is stopped by none other than your companion. He bites into the Ender Priest's leg, stopping him in his track, and ripping it off. The Ender Priest falls to the ground, and you try to get up to finish him. But, alas, it was not meant to be - The Ender Priest creates a forcefield of magic protecting himself and starts shooting explosive projectiles in your direction. And that would be the last thing you'd ever see. Immobile and weakened the Ender Priest now had to rely fully on his magic to battle, would his energy last through another fight? You would never know, but you would be remembered as a hero, giving those after you a chance to end the End Disease once and for all. (edited)

@Alisoun Grimsbane VII: A Battle Unlike Any Other You prepared yourself for battle. Many warriors tend to trust in their swords, but you knew better - only bringing a mere wooden sword. True power lies in the ranged weapons, and so you had brough a weapon unlike any other: The Mayor's very sharp hat - A hat so sharp and heavy it could cause fatal injuries, and even better yet: when thrown it would always safely return to the one who threw it. The Hat's sheer power also came at a price however, wielding it as a weapon required an extraordinary amount of power, but even for that you came prepared, so before you even dared to approached combat you ate the butcher's finest steak. But then, you were finally ready. Energized and with your hat ready your approached the Ice Spike Field to challenge the Ender Priest to battle. He could never possibly expect the weapon you'd wield... and that much was true, but neither could you expect a grievously injured Ender Priest lifted into the air by his magic waiting for you. This battle sure would be an interesting one. And then, the battle began. You threw your hat and the Ender Priest shot off his magic. You dodged his magic where you could, and when necessary used your sword to block. The Ender Priest on the other hand would summon forcefields to protect him whenever your hat was about to hit. The battle seemed to be at a stalemate. But as the battle continued, it became clear you both began to tire - the Ender Priest's magical energy was running out quickly, but how much longer could you wield your hat? It seemed the winner would be decided by who could last longer... and ultimately that was the Ender Priest. His magic had almost run out, but he had outlasted you. And so, with a weak, but still effective spell the Ender Priest took your life. You had done your part and would be remembered as a hero. After all, with both his physical form badly damaged and his magic weakened it wouldn't take much more to defeat him. (edited)

@Helene Thornheart VIII: The Final Stand Queen Helene Thornheart was many things, the greatest queen Tharros had ever seen? Sure. An unmatched Mayor? That too. A brilliant Pawnford player? Maybe even that. But, by no means was she a particularly impressive fighter. But now, she was all that's left. Her comrades either having turned traitor - having come to some sort of agreement with the Ender Priest akin to making a deal with the devil, saving themselves but condeming everyone else to death - or never having returned from their attempts to challenge the Ender Priest in the first place. So Helene got her best equipment for battle, a golden chestplate and an iron sword and prepared for battle. She made her way to the Ice Spike Field, picking up a snowball on the way as an afterthought. She wasn't ready, but how could she be - she was about the face the greatest monster to ever haunt this land. And then she saw him, the Ender Priest, surrounded by his weakly fizzling magics at the end of the field, preparing to cast another spell. Helene took what might've been her final breaths, preparing for battle, when the battle got interrupted by a brilliant white explosion of light and magic coming from the east...

@Cedric, the Young Apprentice IX: The Ritual Your ritual circle explodes in a brilliant explosion of white light spreading magic all over the lands. This time you had succeeded where last time you had failed. Your first attempt at a ritual on this very circle had ended in destroying the castle and everyone within, an unintentional ritual of death. Then on your attempts to fix what you had done, you had only made things worse, raising an entire army of zombies. But, finally, you had succeeded. Your Ritual of Life had brought all those back that had fallen in the previous few hours. And so, as the ritual went across the lands, putting the bodies of that who had fallen against the Ender Priest back together, giving them another chance...

@everyone X: The Cure Brought back by Young Apprentice's ritual, the fall warrios quickly joined Helene in the fight against the Ender Priest, and even those that had made a deal with the Ender Priest returned, feeling guilty for their decisions. With eight combatants fighting together against the already horribly injured and weakend Ender Priest, it was just a matter of time until they'd win. And that, they did. As each of them dealt a final blow to the Ender Priest, he spoke the last words he ever would: "ᏖᏂᎥᏕ ᎴᎧᏋᏕᏁ'Ꮦ ᏋᏁᎴ ᏂᏋᏒᏋ. ᎧᏁᏋ ᎴᏗᎩ, Ꭵ ᏕᏂᏗᏝᏝ ᏒᏋᏖᏬᏒᏁ, ᏕᏖᏒᎧᏁᎶᏋᏒ ᏖᏂᏗᏁ ᏋᏉᏋᏒ.". But he would not, for his story had ended here. And though there may still be many stories to be told, none would ever be about him again. With the Ender Priest gone, the power of the end disease was quickly dissipating. It was over. Everyone had been cured. (edited)
