Escaping Carcosa Online - Day 2 E7 // The Cost of Victory

Note from Lucas: I know some folks might have a difficult time
with talking about Wendigo in fiction. I myself am Metis and the
way it was discussed by elders was the Wendigo was a cautionary
tale of anger, isolation, and pain. I tried to keep that in the
spirit of the creature, but also reflect that at this point in
the story they are fighting a boss fight designed in a video
game, so there is a portion that is very gamified to it. I
understand completely if this is an episode you'd like to skip.
If you'd like to skip this episode but want to know what happens
I am placing SPOILERS at the end of the show notes, so you have
to scroll to see it. ************* Welcome to the Ballad of the
Seven Dice. The party is now ready to at last confront the boss
of Floor 1 alongside scores of other players! Will they take this
creature down quickly or will they realize that Carcosa Online is
one hell of a game!

SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED


 


The party heads into the forest with everyone, realizing that a
winter has set over the woods. Akihiko asked Nysla about love as
they head deeper in readying themselves.  They set off their
plan to trap the boss in the fire trap and a bit of it goes wrong
with Lune losing a portion of his people and wishing it was him
instead. The party fights and the battle is brutal with scores
upon scores of people perishing. The boss is piercing players on
its antlers and when they are on there, they don't truly die.
Akihiko is almost slain and Houndman takes the hit and is killed.
Nysla almost dies from a number of attacks and is unconscious.
Lune criticals two times in a row and at the last moment defeats
the boss.  The party realizes they lost over 100 players in
this battle and many dear friends. They are broken, battered, and
scarred. This is the cost of victory.
