APRIL QUEST ENEMIES

BLINDED BY SCIENCE - INSTITUTE ENEMIES    S-8 2.0 IMAGE Link WEAKNESS Tall, easy to topple STRENGTH Swiftness and visual awareness ABOUT THE BOT Outfitted with two long blades, the sentry attacks in quick sweeping motions and has a delayed reaction time due to its size. It makes up for this in having enhanced optics, allowing both frontal and hind visual at all times. Electromagnetic sticky bombs must be applied to the back of neck of the robot in order to temporarily disable it for ten seconds, splitting open down its middle to prevent overheating, but also exposing its inner workings. In its non-hostile state, the sentry will patrol the public floors of the Institute reciting phrases recorded by Evras. Its messages are the following: "The Institute wishes you a profitable day!" "Members of the Simwe internship program receive a once in a lifetime chance to work under the Royal Inventor for a small fee of 300 gold! Fulltime offers are not guaranteed." "Tours of the Institute begin every hour, on the hour. To register, please visit the front desk." "For your own safety, please do not touch the brightly-colored crystals on display." "Please stay off the grass." "Orientation for volunteer tour guides begins at noon on the last day of each week. Please be prompt." "Have you made a groundbreaking discovery? Submit your findings for Evras for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to have your discovery featured in our collection!" "Parents with small children, please do not leave your children unattended. The Institute is not liable for any injury that may come to them." CHADSEF 2.0 IMAGE Link WEAKNESS Slow charge time STRENGTH Enough power in attacks to break through dense surfaces ABOUT THE BOT Outfitted with three long blades, this sentry attacks in jabbing motions and frequent bodily attacks when in close combat (such as with its head and feet). It will leap great distances in attempt to smash into enemies after a slow crouch in which it charges up, which seems to be its only vulnerable state. Electromagnetic sticky bombs must be applied to the top of the head of the robot in order to temporarily disable it for ten seconds, popping each limb out from its sockets with a weakened electromagnetic pull keeping it together. In its non-hostile state, the sentry will patrol the public floors of the Institute reciting phrases recorded by Evras. Its messages are the following: "Did you know enemies of the crown's bodies are automatically donated to science? Remember that even if you have done no good in life, you will in death!" "This plays when an abnormal occurrence has been witnessed. Logging for future termination." "Did you know that thief and terrorist Chadsef spread a plague that drove our good refugees to the hands of Wyver shamans? Remember, he was incinerated by a local hero for his crimes. Be a hero, not a burnt bunny." "This plays when unauthorized employees are around my office." "Parents, please keep your children off of the bot. It is not actually a bunny, and it does not have candy. See the front desk for sweet and/or sedatives." "No carrots will help you after you've lost your eye to this thing. That's a myth, anyway. So you really are hopeless." "Searching for intelligent lifeforms. Search failed." "I suppose it may be ironic that such sick burns are coming from a replica of someone... burned. No, note to self: remember to delete this log." DISGUISED BOTS IMAGE Link WEAKNESS Weak armor, slow recharge time STRENGTH Close range firepower, physical strength ABOUT THE BOT The security bot fires a shotgun slug that has a 10 second internal reload. The robot is not fortified in any other way, i.e. its synthetic skin will tear off to reveal its inner workings, where it might be jammed or taken apart. The only other means of defense are its strength, which can be used to lift and throw characters. ARCHIVISTS IMAGE Link WEAKNESS Physically frail, easily distracted by research STRENGTH Olympian elemental magic ABOUT THE ARCHIVISTS The archivists are benign until their work is interrupted — but once alerted to an intruder, they display a mastery of the various types of elemental magic native to Olympia: light, water, or wind. However, they aim to incapacitate, not to kill, and will only use minor-level spells. POTIONS DEPARTMENT SCIENTISTS IMAGE Link WEAKNESS Suit penetrable with sharp objects STRENGTH Long range combat with corrosive acids ABOUT THE SCIENTISTS The scientists are hard at work developing various potions and poisons within the Institute; however, if interrupted from their work, they will fight off intruders using corrosive acids that they have developed. Their suits protect them from the worst of the effects, but if ripped, they will be just as susceptible to the acids as anyone else.
