Underwater. Deep underwater.

(Re)discovering the almost-prehistoric ocean life that light has never reached would be my ideal scenario.

Hacking our way through harsh coral and navigating black caves with no knowledge of what's lurking would be... interesting. Making use of the less harmful creatures to evade or distract threats, using familiar tools in unfamiliar situations and exploration forcing us into learning more about the world and its inhabitants before we existed.

There's more variation in sea creatures than anywhere else on our planet. Expanding on that in a fantasy scenario could lead to some unpredictable (in a good way) creations. A proud member of...

Blank, the Potion Master

With raids coming up, I'm fairly excited. I've been envisioning different things that could come with raids being implemented revolving around 10 people, and this is one of many ideas I have come up with.

Story: Blank is a godless individual that was similar to anyone else in the world, but he had a love for making potions, apocathery, herblore. His mother who raised him all his life was in a sudden accident due to the Battle of Lumbridge, and Blank was very upset over the idea and soon after fell into an insanity like state, vowing for revenge on the Gods and those who protect them.

Now, Blank lies in his labratory, destroying those who come near him and taking his sacrifices his minions bring him, giving these sacrifices many different potions in order to mutate them, kill them, testing these weapons on the sacrifices so he can one day destroy the Gods that destroyed his life, and killed his mother. Not to mention consuming potions for himself to become as powerful as he currently is...

tldr, he consumed many potions to try to become stronger than gods and he's figuring out the best weapons to use in terms of his potions in order to kill the gods

Blank, the Potion Master

Location: Door lies (doesn't matter the location to me), when you are entering you MUST have 10 people with you (using the grouping system). As you enter, you have a small room to prepare for the fight, 4x10 (4 width, 10 length leading up to the boss room) including a bank and a mural on the side, giving 50k herblore experience to those who have the appropriate level (88). The boss room itself is a locked instance, a circular room with a 2x2 square in the middle that the boss will spawn in on. The room is a MAXIMUM of 10 squares away at all points, making it so you can use a noxious longbow at maximum range or similar weapons.

Blank, the Potion Master

Phase 1: Blank starts with 1.5M to 750k HP

The fight: Blank uses aoe auto attacks at all points, doing 5k-15k damage per hit to everyone in the room. The way this mechanic is negated is by having the 10 people in the room, as everyone will share the damage equally. As an example, if the boss's first auto attack was a 10k, everyone in the room (assuming there are 10) will be hit 1k each. The boss attacks every 3 seconds (5 ticks).

Every 5-15 attacks, the boss will use one of the following mechanics - These mechanics are randomized, so any of the following could happen for the rest of the fight. Only exception to this is, you cannot have the same mechanic occur twice in a row. As an example, if you have the instakill attack occur, the next mechanic will be one of the other three. After that, instakill can occur again.

a) Targets one person, stuns them for 15 seconds and turns them a bright blue. Everyone must dd on this individual to share the damage that will be incurred. 100k damage will be taken here, and if everyone gets on the spot in time, everyone will share that damage AND halve it assuming all 10 people make it. Therefore, you'll only be hit a 5k with 10 people, otherwise everyone on the DD will be hit 10k+ and die.

b) Targets 2 quadrants of the room, opposite of eachother. Everyone in these quadrants are stunned after 3 ticks and hits everyone in those quadrants a 4k.

c) Instakill attack: Similar to KK's green, text will appear on screen saying "Blank stares into "Player name"'s soul!" At this point, someone has 6 ticks to voke + rez/barricade in order to avoid an instakill. This damage is typeless.

d) "FEAR ME": text will appear on the screen in red along with a voice to indicate this attack, and 4 stones will appear (2x1) in order for players to hide behind. You have 8 seconds to find one and sit behind the squares of these stones in order to avoid 8k damage.

Phase 2: 750k to 100k

The fight: Still uses auto attacks + the 4 mechanics described above.

At this point in the fight, the boss will become immune for 30 seconds. He will spawn several of his "creations"/sacrifices that have mutated with his potions. They all have 30k hp and 8 of them spawn in a hexagon formation approximately 5 squares out from the boss. DPS these down quickly as they will use aoe mage/range attacks that hit 0-4k damage per 5 ticks, these aoe's being within 3 squares of any of these. YOU WILL DIE VERY QUICKLY if you have multiple on you, I suggest having a tank voke multiple of these or tagging them and then using defensives while everyone else DPS's.

After the 30 seconds, the boss will continue the mechanics above + add 2 more to its rotation.

a) I will show you... TRUE POWER! - The boss will kneel and start gaining adrenaline. You must do at least 100k damage in 15 seconds, or else everyone will be hit a 10k. The boss will not lose it's HP during this time, instead the damage dealt required will be in a shield on an extra HP bar.

b) Growls: The boss will emit a low growl that will effect everyone in the direction that it faces (2 quadrants in front of him). These players will be hit by a 50k dot, doing 2.5k range damage per tick until cleared by either 1) freedom or b) running to the boss and using a melee attack of sorts.

Phase 3: 100k to 0

The boss will enrage at this point and must be killed as fast as possible. All damage is increased by 1.5, including its auto attacks and its attack speed is increased to one auto attack per 2 ticks.

Once the boss reaches 0 hp, it will detonate, targeting one player. That player must get away from everyone, similar to the red bomb mechanic. If you are within 8 squares of this player, that player + whoever is within that range will die. If nobody is within the 8 squares, that player takes a 9k hit after 5 seconds.

possible mechanics to be added:
a) Once the timer of the boss fight reaches over 5m0s, everyone in the room perishes due to a toxin released at the beginning of the fight

Unique rewards: T90 ring, amulet, cape.

Amulet of horrors - t90 amulet, gives +55 in all styles and a +5 prayer bonus. The amulet has a passive effect that will deal a damage-over-time to whatever the player is targeting that does approximately 100 damage per tick. This amulet can only be worn with T90+ weapons. Repair cost ~4m

Mutant cape - t90 cape, will give +40 in all styles and a +10 prayer bonus as well as +100 armor and +300 LP. Better than a completionist cape for PvM since it will give a +5% reduction in all damage taken and it's stats will be equal to that of a completionist cape. Repair cost ~2m - Possibly ADD this to comp cape? Maybe give comp cape the same stats as this cape after you've killed the boss once (comp req) but no passive? Will continue looking into feedback

Ring of the Forgotten - t90 ring, gives +30 in all styles and a +2 prayer bonus. The ring will absorb 10% of damage taken and after 5 hits, will increase the next ability by that amount of damage absorbed multiplied by 2. As an example here, you take 5 blue bombs at vorago, averaging 3k damage per bomb. Damage absorbed: 300*5=1500, damage put out: 3000. Repair cost ~3m

Other loot: EVERYONE will receive a loot similar to how the Rise of the six chest works, and if you receive one of the following above^ ONE person will receive it when the boss dies. 1/512 for each item, 3/512 to receive one of the items. Items will approximate to about 400k per person, 4M per kill. Fairly quick boss fight, estimate likely under 3-5minute kills.

STORY/LORE

As said above (feel free to read - first post) - Blank tries to find new potions to make him stronger as well as lower the defenses of Gods, as well as the rest of the players who support them.

As you continue into the raid, there will be more story besides just Blank himself, including his mother being a ghost/ravaged spirit that can't ascend due to being stuck on Gilenor for reasons that will continue to develop but will not be revealed to the players. You'll play the part of trying to help more than anything, first trying to help with Blank and his obsessions but ultimately having to kill him, and then seeing as to what Blank would have wanted if he had known - getting his mother off of Gilenor, since her corrupt spirit lives on in agony.

In the tropical forest, adventurers search for challenges to prove themselves on this new planet. They come across an entity sworn to the recently deceased god of balance, Guthix. The creature is The Risix, a huge abomination with the head of a daggonoth, the body of an emerald giant, and the wings of an Icyene. Risix see's guthix's power in you. It believes you are the one responsible for the assassination of the god of balance, even after being told by the World Guardian that it was Sliske's work. The two forces clash. The World Guardian and Guthix's most powerful tool of battle.
Who will win?
