Besieged Enemies 1 Mamool Ja Savages In contrast to their name, the Mamool Ja Savages are actually a highly disciplined military force. A specific military role is automatically assigned to every Mamool Ja citizen based on social classification, and their discipline is a direct result of the intensive training they receive in order to carry out their duties. The army is comprised of units that specialize in one particular field of battle. Supposedly, to prevent infighting amongst the different classes, the soldiers are given no opportunities to learn skills outside of their specialization. However, this also means that troops trained to undertake a certain task cannot be easily replaced should they fall--a fatal chink in the Mamool Ja's armor. ~~Mamool Ja Fighter~~ The warrior class of the Mamool Ja. On the battlefield, these ferocious combatants wield weapons of unique design and are seen as being either incredibly courageous or foolishly reckless. They excel at sudden assaults, but have little patience for drawn-out conflicts. ~~Mamool Ja Mage~~ The sage class of the Mamool Ja. Many of the Mamool Ja mages are assigned to positions that utilize their extraordinary intelligence and magical prowess. The ability to swivel their eyes in any direction also complements their roles as officers and physicians. ~~Ziz~~ The war birds of the Mamool Ja. Generally employed as pack animals, the ziz possess an aggressive demeanor and are occasionally released to wreak havoc upon enemy forces. They have a tendency to become fixated on prey that is small enough to swallow whole. ~~Puk~~ Pronounced "pook," this small, winged beast is believed to be the artificial combination (chimera) of a dragon and some kind of vermin. Also known as "wind wyverns." Puks are capable of comprehending speech, and are known to sometimes enter the service of the Mamool Ja Savages. They are swift fliers, adept at scouting out enemy territory and harrying opponents with wind-based attacks. __Monsters in the Mamool Ja Invasion Force__ {table}Name|Family/Job|Lv1|Lv2|Lv3|Lv4|Lv5|Lv6|Lv7|Notes| [Mamool Ja Sapper]|[Ninja]|3|0|0|0|3|3|3|Uses [Mijin Gakure] ~20% HP| [Mamool Ja Hospitaler]|[White Mage]|3|0|3|4|0|2|3|Uses [Benediction]| [Mamool Ja Fetial]|[Black Mage]|3|0|3|2|2|2|3|[Sleepga II], [Groundburst] AoE| [Mamool Ja Spotter]|[Thief]|3|0|0|0|3|3|3|| [Mamool Ja Handler]|[Beastmaster]|0|0|3|0|2|2|0|| [Mamool Ja's Lizard]|[Lizard]|0|0|3|0|2|2|0|| [Mamool Ja Cataphract]|[Dragoon]|0|0|0|3|3|3|3|| [Mamool Ja's Wyvern]|[Wyvern]|0|0|0|3|3|3|3|| [Mamool Ja Entrancer]|[Blue Mage]|0|0|3|0|2|3|3|[Radiant Breath]| [Scout Puk]|[Puk]|5|5|5|0|5|5|5|Dispelga TP move| [Raid Raptor]|[Raptor]|5|5|5|5|0|0|5|| [Attack Ziz]|[Ziz]|0|0|5|5|5|5|0|| [Battering Bugard]|[Bugard]|0|0|0|5|5|5|5|| [War Wyvern]|[Wyvern]|0|0|0|0|5|5|5|| [Poroggo Charmer]|[Black Mage]|0|0|0|0|0|5|5|Frog Chorus is AoE charm| [Mamool Ja Hussar]|[Paladin]|0|0|0|0|0|0|5|| [Phantasmal Puk]|[Puk]|0|1|1|2|2|2|2|[White Wind] healing ability| [Dive-Puk]|[Puk]|0|2|2|4|4|4|4|| [Fleetfingered Mobel Ja]|[Thief]|0|0|1|1|1|1|1|[Groundburst]| [Mamool Ja Ravager]|[Thief]|0|0|3|3|3|3|3|| [Brontobugard]|[Bugard]|0|0|0|0|1|1|1|| [Bull Bugard]|[Bugard]|0|0|0|0|3|3|3|| [Gulool Ja Ja]|[Ninja]|0|0|0|0|1|1|0|| [Decimator Mabel Ja]|[Black Mage]|1|0|0|0|0|0|0|Lvl 1 Mega Boss| [Thunderclap Sareel Ja]|[Beastmaster]|0|1|0|0|0|0|0|Lvl 2 Mega Boss; Charm, [Groundburst]| [Thunderbolt Piraal Ja]|[Raptor]|0|1|0|0|0|0|0|Pet of Sareel Ja| [Panugric Ryubool Ja]|[Blue Mage]|0|0|1|0|0|0|0|Lvl 3 Mega Boss| [Sagelord Molaal Ja]|[White Mage]|0|0|0|1|0|0|0|Lvl 4 Mega Boss| [Strifelord Bakool Ja]|[Dragoon]|0|0|0|0|1|0|0|Lvl 5 Mega Boss| [Eidolic Qufeel Ja]|[Ninja]|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|Lvl 6 Mega Boss| [Searing Vogaal Ja]|[Paladin]|0|0|0|0|0|1|1|Lvl 7 Mega Boss| {table} 1 The Troll Mercenaries Emerging from the recesses of Mount Zhayolm and Halvung, the Troll Army is a decently organized fighting force. The Trolls' ancestors served as a mercenary unit in the Imperial Army, and were afterwards hired by the Moblins. The reasons for their move to Mount Zhayolm are debatable, but they were able to maintain autonomy over their mercenary lands (also known as Halvung Territory) by paying tribute to the Empire until the conflict for the Astral Candescence began. With the motivating force of recovering autonomy over their mercenary lands, the Troll Mercenaries are a highly determined fighting force. Their might and hostility towards Aht Urhgan make the Trolls the Imperial capital's greatest threat. ~~Troll Cannoneer~~ These Trolls are the backline soldiers of the Troll Mercenaries. They are known to carry naptha-powered incendiary weapons. They also have practice in engineering and in the arts of magic. While Troll cannoneers lack in heavy armor, they make up with their hand-to-hand and dagger skills. ~~Troll Hoplite~~ These Trolls are the frontline soldiers of the Troll Mercenaries. They carry mass-produced cast metal helmets. They wear heavy armor and are often seen with a club and a shield. They wield giant swords and axes. Because of their experience in fighting, they often command the Troll Army during battles. ~~Flan~~ Although their bodies are pliable and gelatinous, black puddings also possess large, sharp eyes used in searching out prey, and a flexible mouth filled with fangs. Despite their outward appearance, black puddings are also known for being highly intelligent, and reports of flan using extraordinarily powerful magic are not uncommon. However, they are unskilled in suppressing their emotions, and a flan's mood tends to have an enormous effect on its actions. ~~Eruca~~ These crimson crawlers live around the volcanic region of the Halvung Territory. They tend to have various behaviours and attributes, depending on the time and weather. They assist the Troll forces with their incinerating breath attacks. __Monsters in the Troll Mercenaries Invasion Force__ {table}Name|Family/Job|Lv1|Lv2|Lv3|Lv4|Lv5|Lv6|Lv7|Notes| [Troll Paviser]|[Warrior]|3|3|0|0|3|33|| [Troll Stormer]|[Red Mage]|3|0|0|3|3|3|3|| [Troll Hoplite]|[Paladin]|3|0|0|2|4|3|3|| [Troll Pezhetairoi]|[Dark Knight]|0|0|0|2|1|2|3|| [Troll Cannoneer]|[Ranger]|3|3|0|3|3|3|3|AoE damage| [Troll Velites]|[Monk]|0|3|0|3|3|2|3|| [Troll Speculator]|[Puppetmaster]|0|0|0|2|2|3|0|| [Troll's Automaton]|[Automaton]|0|0|0|2|2|3|0|| [Flame Eruca]|[Eruca]|5|5|5|0|0|0|5|| [War Wamouracampa]|[Wamouracampa]|5|5|5|5|5|5|0|AoE damage, Damage Spikes| [Incendiary Bombs]|[Cluster]|0|0|5|5|5|5|5|AoE damage| [Fighting Flan]|[Black Mage]|0|0|0|5|5|5|5|| [Siege Scorpion]|[Scorpion]|0|0|0|0|5|5|5|AoE damage| [War Wamoura]|[Wamoura]|0|0|0|0|0|5|5|| [Troll Destroyer]|[Warrior]|0|0|0|0|0|0|5|| [Aerial Torpedo]|[Bomb]|0|1|1|2|2|2|1|[Heat Wave]| [Bombshells]|[Cluster]|0|2|2|4|4|4|4|| [Vyurvarjur the Nimble]|[Warrior]|0|0|1|1|1|1|1|[Healing Stomp]| [Troll Forager]|[Warrior]|0|0|3|3|3|3|3|| [Killing Claw]|[Scorpion]|0|0|0|0|1|1|0|AoE damage| [Slaughterous Scorpion]|[Scorpion]|0|0|0|0|3|3|0|| [Gurfurlur the Menacing]|[Monk]|0|0|0|0|1|1|1|[Incessant Fists], [Arcane Stomp]| [Girzorhor the Imprudent]|[Warrior]|1|0|0|0|0|0|0|Lvl 1 Mega Boss| [Surmerdar the Unbridled]|[Ranger]|0|1|0|0|0|0|0|Lvl 2 Mega Boss| [Dartorgor the Austere]|[Monk]|0|0|1|0|0|0|0|Lvl 3 Mega Boss| [Vorporlor the Barbaric]|[Dark Knight]|0|0|0|1|0|0|0|Lvl 4 Mega Boss| [Vorjirzur the Valiant]|[Paladin]|0|0|0|0|1|0|0|Lvl 5 Mega Boss| [Wordorbor the Artificer]|[Puppetmaster]|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|Lvl 6 Mega Boss| [Cobalt Sentinel]|[Automaton]|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|Wordorbor's pet| [White Sentinel]|[Automaton]|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|Wordorbor's pet| [Hazel Sentinel]|[Automaton]|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|Wordorbor's pet| [Carmine Sentinel]|[Automaton]|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|Wordorbor's pet| [Xarhorkur the Claviger]|[Warrior]|0|0|0|0|0|0|1|Lvl 7 Mega Boss| {table} 1 The Undead Swarm The undead swarm is very simply organized, consisting only of manipulators and the manipulated. The Lamiae and Merrows themselves created the undead, but have no misgivings about expending them in order to survive or accomplish a goal. The undead can only follow the simplest instructions, and thus present very little threat when alone. In battle, however, the undead are so numerous that losses are of no concern, and storm tactics tend to prevail over sophisticated strategies. ~~Lamia~~ These artificially created beastmen (chimeras) command the undead swarm in battle. Although their numbers are few, the Lamiae are extremely cunning, and often confound the Imperial Army with feint attacks and other deceptive strategies. Lamiae always send their troops before them in battle as they decimate their opponents from afar with powerful magic and archery. ~~Merrow~~ A close relation of the Lamiae, the Merrow is a type of amphibious chimera. Although they reside in the Cyan Deep, Merrows occasionally respond to the Lamiae's requests and venture to the scene of battle accompanied by hordes of undead raised from watery graves. Merrows can also use their enchanting voices to draw in even the most experienced sailors. ~~Qutrub~~ Although qutrub only have a few shreds of their will remaining, they have pledged their undying loyalty to the Lamiae. Still afflicted by the desires of the living and possessing surprising strength, the qutrub are often utilized in raids on Al Zahbi. Their short swords can be used to devastating effect. ~~Draugar~~ These undead skeletons are completely controlled by the curse of the Lamiae. Draugar possess no emotion and feel no pain. They merely fight until they can no longer move, but are capable of little more than the most basic behavior. Their ranks are easily replenished, so draugar are often used as a stalling tactic. __Monsters in the Undead Swarm Invasion Force__ {table}Name|Family/Job|Lv1|Lv2|Lv3|Lv4|Lv5|Lv6|Lv7|Notes| [Lamia Immolator]|[Black Mage]|1|3|3|0|3|3|2|| [Lamia Jaeger]|[Ranger]|2|0|2|0|3|3|3|[Eagle Eye Shot]| [Lamia Commandress]|[Summoner]|0|1|2|0|3|3|3|[Astral Flow]| [Lamia's Elemental]|[Elemental]|0|1|2|0|3|3|3|| [Lamia's Avatar]|[Avatar]|0|1|2|0|3|3|3|| [Lamia Rover]|[Corsair]|2|2|3|3|0|3|3|| [Merrow Seafarer]|[Red Mage]|0|0|0|2|3|2|2|| [Merrow Cantatrice]|[Bard]|0|0|0|3|3|3|3|| [Merrow Shiranuhi]|[Samurai]|0|0|0|3|3|3|3|| [Gespenst]|[Black Mage]|3|4|0|0|0|2|0|AoE Drain| [Assault Draugar]|[Thief]|2|2|0|2|0|2|0|AoE Drain| [Assault Draugar]|[Black Mage]|2|2|2|2|2|2|2|AoE Drain| [Assault Draugar]|[Dark Knight]|2|2|2|2|2|2|0|AoE Drain| [Assault Draugar]|[Dragoon]|2|2|2|2|2|2|2|AoE Drain| [Draugar's Wyvern]|[Wyvern]|2|2|2|2|2|2|2|| [Assault Bhoot]|[Black Mage]|0|0|4|4|4|3|5|AoE Drain| [Qutrub Extortionist]|[Dark Knight]|0|0|0|0|4|3|4|[Mangle]| [Qutrub Wastrel]|[Black Mage]|0|0|0|0|4|3|4|| [Expunger]|[Doomed]|0|0|0|0|0|5|5|| [Acrolith]|[Acrolith]|0|0|0|0|0|0|5|| [Bhoot Invader]|[Black Mage]|0|1|1|2|2|2|1|AoE Drain, Instant Death move| [Bhoot Intruder]|[Black Mage]|0|2|2|4|4|4|2|AoE Drain, Instant Death move| [Lamia No.4]|[Corsair]|0|0|1|1|1|1|1|Uses Charmga TP move, [Dukkeripen]| [Lamia Freebooter]|[Corsair]|0|0|3|3|3|3|3|| [Pining Abazohn]|[Dark Knight]|0|0|0|0|1|1|1|| [Qutrub Forayer]|[Dark Knight]|0|0|0|0|3|3|3|| [Medusa]|[Ranger]|0|0|0|0|1|1|1|AoE-damage move, Petrify move| [Lamia No.34]|[Ranger]|1|0|0|0|0|0|0|Lvl 1 Mega Boss| [Lamia No.21]|[Black Mage]|0|1|0|0|0|0|0|Lvl 2 Mega Boss| [Lamia No.15]|[Corsair]|0|0|1|0|0|0|0|Lvl 3 Mega Boss, [Dukkeripen]| [Merrow No.11]|[Samurai]|0|0|0|1|0|0|0|Lvl 4 Mega Boss| [Lamia No.9]|[Summoner]|0|0|0|0|1|0|0|Lvl 5 Mega Boss| [Merrow No.12]|[Bard]|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|Lvl 6 Mega Boss| [Lamia No.3]|[Black Mage]|0|0|0|0|0|0|1|Lvl 7 Mega Boss| {table} 2007-03-22 19:31:21.423 2007-03-15 20:31:51.595
