Yeah, halfway through I was thinking that someone should be asking Dinah for the chances of death on Avalon.

I'm not 100%, but I think this story is loosely based on Worm.
I laughed pretty hard at that, actually. I don't know why, but I just found it funny.I'm not 100%, but I think this story is loosely based on Worm.
This poor attempt at humor is in no way a cover for the fact that I spotted nothing and have no idea what the EB is planning. Unless it is about to attack Avalon.
If we can't find its actual body, there's nothing we can do to kill the fucker.
I dunno, man, you're reaching.I'm not 100%, but I think this story is loosely based on Worm.
A massive crocodilian creature covered in hedgehog spines manifested below us. It fired several quills at us with speeds that easily broke the speed of sound. I dived downward, spreading Azrael's wings and shielding the sky from the thing's fire. I didn't know who above needed the protection, but it certainly wasn't me. I managed to land on the monster feet first, disintegrating it not unlike what I did to leviathan.
A moment later, another monster appeared. This one a large fishlike creature that manifested above the blasters that had moved to attack the blood spider. It exhaled a stream of energy that resembled the Frost Lance weapon down upon the defenders. Several shunted automatically, saved by the emergency protocols built into the armor.
The Endbringer materialized out of nowhere, and it easily ranked at the top of the 'hideous' meter. A tarantula-like thing that stood about ten feet tall, but its limbs extended out far further than that. It was hairless composed of a reddish brown material that even from here looked somehow sticky. As it scuttled along, it left behind pools of the red liquid oozing across the pavement. Okay, if the Endbringers all rely on someone's symbolic mindset, what the fuck were they smoking when they came up with this atrocity?
My suit alerted me to movement as a kind of deformed tree monster rushed toward me, heedless of the occasional blast of energy that struck it.
So, maybe the motherfucker sucks the blood out of people in a certain zone, and that zone is pointed at the Endbringer shelters?
Eidolon, you're not allowed to watch scary movies before bed.Okay, if the Endbringers all rely on someone's symbolic mindset, what the fuck were they smoking when they came up with this atrocity?
So, if this is the Endbringer that mirrors Taylia, what would an Endbringer that mirror Dragon look like?A series of missiles streamed overhead, Dragon's weapons removing a few of the monsters from the air. They fell in pieces, destroyed by whatever insanity the Tinker to End All Tinkers had devised this time.
So, maybe the motherfucker sucks the blood out of people in a certain zone, and that zone is pointed at the Endbringer shelters?
Whoo! You saved the town! Too bad there's no one left to live in it!
I don't about that,but the blood thing makes me think of neon genesis evangelionThese Endminions remind me of Dwarf Fortress's Forgotten Beasts. Especially the hairless tarantula made of blood, that's something straight out of procedural generation.
Eidolon played too much D&D as a teen, apparently. This latest Endbringer is throwing half the monster manual at them.
Did it work?The question "what is the most infuriating possible way to phrase this?" was at the forefront of your mind, wasn't it?
It's already been described. See the Butcher arc.
Honestly, that sounds incredibly boring. Plus it's only been a few months since the portals were announced. There hasn't been *time* to see the effects or acquire any resource boosts.maybe an interlude about the various colonies and how nations are dealing with the population shift and resource boost.
That also sounds incredibly boring. Also stupid and borderline impossible.a bit of political drama as some politician lobbies for the extradition of villains that fled to Avalon
I don't know about you, but it's been almost four years since I've used a sledgehammer for anything.She's using double entendres like other people use sledgehammers.
Thank you, it's nice to see my genius appreciated.Also, I know it's been said, but I'd just like to reiterate: You're awesome at makinghorrifyingEndbringers.
Spending time around Taylia reduces shard-induced idiot balls.Thank you. Thank you so much for having a character point this out.
That's more a Heredity!Taylor thing. Still hilarious."No Taylor, you can't have one." CrushingDispairDisapointment. "... Look, I'll talk to Riley about it, but I don't think it's a good idea to copy endbringer monsters." AnnoyanceDesireCute. "Stop looking at it like that!"
It was also foreshadowing!Maybe the disposable minion isn't the best person to be saying this
She can, an apparently does.I'm thinking the pig-like monsters are orcs from Anima's stable of fantasy critters. (Anima does those, right?)
Oh, don't be such a pansy. Besides, I got a better (worse) idea.I think I have an idea about what the EB is and what it is doing. I really hope I'm wrong though and I'm leery about posting it in case it gives Tananari ideas of how to make this even more horrible than it is already going to be.
The Death Star.
And we have a winner!!!These Endminions remind me of Dwarf Fortress's Forgotten Beasts. Especially the hairless tarantula made of blood, that's something straight out of procedural generation.
Nah, that's Eden. The Endbringers just Epic Level Challenges.
And we have the other winner!!!I think this is more of Eidolon's fear of Pantheon in general and Taylia in specific. They are/have dethroned him from his position of greatest parahuman on the planet. He may still have more power(s), but that is fading, and Pantheon's cooperative power synergies have accomplished more in a year than he has in his entire career.
The blood spider especially struck me as representative of Taylia with Taylor being the spider part, and Amelia being the blood part.
Oh, don't be such a pansy. Besides, I got a better (worse) idea.
Yeah, dry, boring, political bullshit. I can't see a reason to do that.
Uhhh, I mean nobody would like things like that.
Well, it wouldn't generate discussion anyway.
... well it wouldn't have people... spell checking it?
Fine! Whatever!
Damn, I thought Eidolon might have subconsciously wanted this one to use up other shards so that he couldn't be outclassed
"That one just looks like a conjoined twin version of Taylia. And it's holding a sign that reads "Eidolon #1". The mystery of the Endmakers' identity deepens."If the Endbringers keep getting more personal in nature it will get ever more easier to find out who made them.
