Stage Four
Leaving the forest you find you now have to climb up some rocky mountains (Stage Four)
High in the mountains you notice a very cool looking cave and @aussieninja beating you all to the top, wants to explore..maybe there are some cool obstacles, traps or treasure!
At the last moment he decides not to and just does some stretches and stuff waiting for any slackers to catch-up.
As the main group arrives a man exits the cave and threatens you with his power fingers of Doom!!
This crazy Monk Dude is angry, but who knows why? - something about super fit people using his mountain as a training ground!
He has strange power finger magic, and as such has an attack score of 8 (You must score a hit of 8 or more to win this Stage).
Special field info for this Stage (check for your class): Magic is best at defeating Magic and this guy is so physically fit from living in the mountains he can dodge some physical attacks.
Warrior: Player has -1 to hit
Wizard: Player has +1 to hit
Archer: Player has -1 to hit
Game Instructions
You need to self manage your character, you have 3 life points (3 attempts) to defeat the foe:
-Here is a heart image that you can use to show your current life count 
- It is hoped in a future IBT this process can be automated, but for now it is a manual DIY process.
Find Detailed Bot instructions here
Quick Summary of attack Commands per class are:
Archer attack: !sendanarrow or !sendabunchofarrows
Warrior attack: !mightystab or !mightyslash
Wizard attack:!magiczap or !magicblast
To pick a foes pocket before they are dead:
!picksomepockets
You need to calculate if you won the fight or not? If you won in the first attempt, you will win Steem! and you just need to keep an eye on the campaign map to see when the next stage is ready and you can move on.
If you didn't you lose a life and may try again or just wait for the next Stage - it's totally up to you :)
To calculate your true damage you need to add/remove from the bot provided hit points number any positive/negative effects from any items you currently have or any other special field effects listed
Remember: This is a work in progress and you are supporting the work by playing and providing in the field testing :)
HAve a great time!

Seriously, @aussieninja! Keep it in the gym...
Never! The whole world is my gym... this dude should be excited to have a new training partner... what a freakin' crazy eyed grump. Some pull ups would cheer this guy right up.
And you know how it always ends for the Peep Show guys!

D-oh! Obtained item 9: Boots! -1 to players hit!
At least it isn't a gem...
!mightyslash
You draw your sword slowly but determinedly and try to attack from the back:
Wow, you little sneak! You took the enemy off-guard and totally sliced that shit up! You land a hit of 10 points, you ninja!
LOL you sure are relieved!
You have no idea, if I saw that gem again...
Dammit @aussieninja, why have you gotten us all into a mess again? Why am I not surprised?
Hahaha can't take that dude anywhere!
Hey! Hey hey hey!
Why isn't this guy super pumped to have new friends to play with? I'd be pumped to have a whole heap of super great peeps doing feats of strength in my front yard. This dude is way too old... sheesh.
I shall see what the monk dude carries in his pockets!

Would you like to feel the warm sizzle of my lightening bolt, Mr. Monk ?
!magicblast
You gather your inner energy and produce a lightning bolt:
What the actual flying duck? You produce a lightning bolt so powerful it turns into a dragon - the Mother of all lightning spells! - You unleash it on your enemy with full force and watch as your foe gets annihilated with a 12 point hit!!! Youre a Wizard, Harry...wait no, you said you were Tom? Gasp
❤️❤️❤️
While climbing the mountain and looking down ferociously at his facebook Angel Food shows signs of disgust. He feels a bubbling in his stomach and has no choice but to force quit. Overwhelmed by the saturation of ... (narrator vomits) and Angel Food closes his eyes, begins a short standing meditation. He only thinks of a donut instead.
Upon open his eyes, Angel Food sees the angry curmudgeon approaching and moving his fingers in a phalic gesture pattern. Forward and back then up and down. Seemed quite perverted actually. Simultaneously, Angel Food recalled the similar wounds that the surrounding carcasses had in common. All had bloodied orifices... previous victims of this tosser!
Just as the cave dwelling finger banger begins to attach, Angel Food's face transforms into that characteristic smile that shines from ear to ear and exclaims, "Ha ha! People probably say that you look like Jesus too!"
Upon hearing the bizar comment and unexpected reaction, the curmudgeon freeze for a moment. Just as the curmudgeon tweets his head and begins to reply to Angel Food's comment...
!magicblast
You tune-in deeply to your inner chakras and summon a lightning bolt.
The lightning is out of control though and hits some innocent civilians who happen to be walking by. A mob of peasants gathers around and shove that naughty wand up your A..and you are a dead magician now. You lose a life, Harry.
After becoming yet another sodomized victim! Angel Food tries to laugh it off. He tried to think of it from a positive standpoint, but grace has left him...
!magicblast
You gather your inner energy and produce a lightning bolt:
The lightning strike hits true, and you do significate damage with a hit of 10! Also 10 points for Gryffindor!
❤️❤️+📓
Every tip of the curmudgeons extremities has been boiled away and his body now lays quietly face down. The mob of peasants begin to gather around the warm body.
Angel food recalls his own moments of insatiable hunger and sees this as a perfect opportunity to leave the hungry peasants to have a warm meal.
10+1, needed 8 to win.
Psyche Deloun does not appreciate being fingered by random mountaineers!

I knew I was the real king of the mountain. May that be a lesson on where to stick your finger...

That's going to be a difficult fight, but it is totally doable! Or at least it looks so...

As you can see, Lady P has been hard-out training for the strenuous mountain climb, but still wants to look her best when she reaches the top to sort out this naughty monk she has read about.

!sendanarrow
You draw an arrow and shoot:
The bow makes a strange sound as the arrow launches, as if the string nearly breaks, but you clip the foe for a hit of 2 points!
Blast and drat! Not good enough.
This may call for a cup of tea AND cucumber sandwiches.
!sendabunchofarrows
Time to attack:
Odins Beard Shakes! You load a bunch of arrows in that deady bow-rifle of yours, take an almost-too-long aim and release them in a swift move. All 3 arrows hit target and you do a large amount of damage - its a hit of 10 points. We can almost hear you mumble too easy...
Nailed it ...
I think I saw that guy on dtube.
!mightyslash
You draw your sword and perform a powerful swing:
The sword slips out of your hand and hits a rock. Ha! A rookie mistake....but the battlefield does not forgive. The enemy leaps towards you with two big steps and sinks his sword into your chest. Without any mercy he watches you slowly sink to the ground as you exhale your last breath. You lose a life point.
Lucky I have my book of death.

You draw and swing your sword:
Wow! It almost looks like you know what you are doing lol. Suprised, the enemy is damaged with a hit of 5 points. Fake it till you make it, as they say.

You draw and swing with your sword:
You hit like a small child and the attack is easily deflected. You fool! Underestimating your foe is no way to victory! The enemy bursts out laughing. Gobbo observes the scene unfolding, well hidden in a nearby bush. He rushes over to finish you off @gobbo
Gobbo makes his best attack.
He laughs like a jerk.
The sneaky git hits for a 3.

10-3 = 7... So one HP left. My arrogance is getting to me...
Hey devi, just in case a reminder that you get 3 life points the start of each round (seems a bit odd I know, but each stage is practically independent with this IBT).
Oh, I thought it was 3 per campaign for some reason. Thanks for explaining :)

You perform a quick fireball attack:
The sparks explode in your own face, the spell fizzles, and a little spark floats off. Did you not learn how to tune this spell at Wizard School? Gobbo happened to be walking by at the time and knows youre an easy target, so he attacks..@gobbo

Good IBT thanks...@doughtaker I think we need this quote for our unofficial IBT book of quotes and spells hehe..

Raktan the Orc Archer gets a terrified look in his eyes.
"Oh no! Last time I killed one of these finger monks I was washing his blood out of my tunic for a month! I do hope this one doesn't splatter quite as much as the others."
Raktan hastily changes out of his good tunic and puts on an old sweatshirt.
Sigh "So be it..."
Raktan shoots a bunch of arrows at the monk.

10 - 1 = 9 (8 required)
Success!
Raktan looks down angrily.
"Of course! Just my freakin' luck!"
Raktan's tattered old sweatshirt has no new blood splatters on it. His pants and shoes, however, are drenched in finger-monk blood.
"Do any of you chaps have any soda water?" Raktan asks the rest of the party as he begins removing his garments. "Perhaps some cornstarch?"
Damn! that was smooth and trophy worthy (but allais I got tech issues - please help yourself to an item from shop for the coming stages)
Awesome! I hope Raktan's luck will last in the upcoming stages.
I tried to spend my other token this morning, but I don't think it worked.

As you flee, flashing everyone with your bare buttcheeks, the foe gently inserts a knife in your back ...you lose a life! Please bring your belt next time!

Risky attack = (4 x 2) - 1 = 7 Fail....
A reasonably good attack but surprisingly the Monk does not fall. His finger magic is indeed strong. He also seems to be waving them about a lot more then one would expect. Serra wonders where those two fingers may have been jammed before the Monk came out of the cave!
Serra decides to take a break from the direct attacks. Plus there is still a bit of grease to be wiped from the handle of her weapon. Luckily Serra Angel is lightning fast which makes her a surprisingly good thief, for an angel.
