"You guys ready?" says Diavel, eyes never leaving the monstrous form of the slowly approaching Lord. "Okay then. Let's do this."
And with that, the blue-haired raid leader charges, a warcry leaving his lips as he moves to engage Illfang. A split second behind him is the rest of the twenty-nine players, many following his lead and echoing shouts of their own.
The Kobold Lord's burning eyes narrow.
"GRAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR!" it roars in return, vibrating the very air and causing stone chips to fall from the ceiling far above. Its slow walk immediately shifts into a sprint, the ground shaking with each of its colossal footfalls.
Right behind it, the Sentinel's scream in vicious anger and follow.
And with that, the fight truly begins, the two sides crashing into each other in a frenzy of steel and adrenaline. In the ensuing chaos, you and Heathcliff find yourselves standing in front of a mace-wielding Kobold Sentinel.

Not giving even a second to prepare, the Sentinel rushes towards you. Narrowing your eyes at the obvious attack, your feet shift slightly and hunch down behind your shield.
A few feet before it reaches you, the Sentinel bends its knees to take a massive leap into the air. A furious hiss emanates from behind its helmet. Lifting its mace high into the sky and coming down with bone-crushing force, the weapon tracing a brilliant blue arc through the air.
You frantically try to readjust your positioning, all the while knowing you would be a hair too late.
Just as the monster is coming down from the apex of its jump, seconds before it smashes into your unshielded body, you blink and suddenly find yourself staring at the back of someone's armor.
The full force of the Sentinel's Art comes down on an unguarded Heathcliff, who is using his body to block the blow as best he can, not having enough time to bring up his shield.
The gruesome crunching of metal reaches your ears. Quickly moving out from behind your party member, your stomach heaves at the horrifically caved-in shoulder Heathcliff now sports, his shield arm now dangling limply at his side.
"Holy shit..." you whisper.
Yet the pixelated chunk missing from his body doesn't stop the Heathcliff at all. Letting out a muffled shout of both anger and pain, the man swings his sword in a massive blue arc right at the monster.
It seems surprised at the retaliation, reacting too late and getting a large red gash rent across its armored chest.
Not wanting to waste this chance, you too attack from out of the range of the Sentinel. A <Spear Thrust> is let loose, puncturing a deep hole in the Sentinel's shoulder.

You try your best to blot out the shouts and screams echoing all around, knowing that any distractions from the Sentinel in front of you would lead to only ruin.
"Honda! Switch out! Now!" Heathcliff grits out, immediately pushing backward off his front foot to dodge a brutal uppercut from the Kobold's mace.
"Got it!"
You sprint forward past the retreating man, letting your forward momentum take your spear straight into the monster's abdomen.
Wretching out your spear, there is a blue flash, and your spear is thrown out in two lightning-fast jabs. A heartbeat passes, suddenly the Kobold now sports three new punctures in its armor.
The Ruin Kobold Sentinel takes 41 damage from Honda!
Heathcliff and Honda have switched positions! Honda is at the vanguard now!

Out of the corner of your eye, a player screams in pain as he is ripped apart by Illfang's ax, rent in twain from shoulder to hip before he could retreat. All three parties on Illfang pause for a second, before continuing their attack with increased vigor.
You force the horror and revulsion down. That could come later. Right now you had to survive.
While you do your best to keep the Sentinel busy, Heathcliff drinks a potion behind you.
The monster darts closer, wildly lashing out with its mace. The blow crashes straight into your waiting shield, your arms crying out in protest at the sheer strength of the blow.
You are pushed back a couple of feet, almost straight into the healing Heathcliff. Digging your feet into the ground, you stop sliding just short of bowling him over.
Heathcliff heals for 36 HP!
Honda takes 36 - 3 = 33 damage from the Sentinel!

"Almost ready. A few more seconds at most," calls out Heathcliff from behind you.
You don't bother to respond, instead raising your shield to prepare for the next blow.
The Sentinel lets out an ear-piercing screech, raising its mace high above its head. Your eyes widen in shock when the metal head of the weapon starts glowing red hot, quickly lighting into a deep scarlet fire that engulfs the entire head of the mace.
It then charges at you, going for a low sweep at your legs.
You try to get out of the way of this attack, third-degree burns did not sound like your idea of a fun time. Shifting your positioning, you almost dodge out of the way of the incoming swing.
It catches you right in the side of the knee, causing your right leg to crumple almost instantly. You fall to your knees, but not before launching an uncontrolled <Spear Thrust> in the Sentinel's general direction.
By some random chance, the attack connects. The Kobold squeals in pain, its body littered with red lines and spear holes.
Heathcliff heals 36 HP!

As you quickly struggle to your feet, you are blindsided by a mace straight to the jaw. Your head snaps back as you are thrown backward by the very same Art that had crippled Heathcliff.
"Switch!" you faintly hear over the ringing in your ears, Heathcliff pushing his way past you to get in the way of a devastatingly strong blow from the Sentinel's mace. He lets out a grunt as he takes the attack head-on, but stays rigid in his stance in front of you.
Heathcliff slashes at the Sentinel with all his might, but he is still off-balance from the damage he just received, and the Kobold easily dances out of the way.
You shakily try to stand back up, seeing that the Sentinel's health bar was almost gone. A weak grip on your spear, you release a just recharged <Multithrust>, hoping to kill the monster before it could do any more harm.
But it is for naught, you are too dizzy and both your attacks go wide. Even worse, you overextend your blows in your hurry and are knocked off your feet once again.
Heathcliff heals for 36 HP!

Gingerly holding your head and clambering to your feet, you watch as the Sentinel rushes Heathcliff.
As the monster brings the full force of the weapon down at your party member's head, Heathcliff shifts to the side and lets the blow swing harmlessly past his face.
The kobold is now very off-balance, giving him ample opportunity to stab the monster straight through the chest, finally killing it.
The Sentinel takes 16 damage from Heathcliff!
The Sentinel is now dead!

You feel like complete shit, but you force yourself to turn and to look at the rest of the battlefield anyways. Your heart sinks as you do a frantic headcount. There were… definitely less than 29 players now.
You take a deep breath. Not now. Focus.
Heathcliff comes to stand by your side as you look over the battlefield.
To your left, Illfang actually looks handled, surrounded on all sides by players. Diavel is leading a force at the front, Agil is flanking the left, and the other dude the right. You bitterly note that three people are missing from the formation.
Shaking your head, you look to your right. The final Sentinel is there, the second-to-last one having just being killed by that blacked haired dude and cloaked person.
The three-member party that is fighting the last Sentinel seems to have it on lockdown, but more help never hurt right? You almost take a step towards that direction, only to stop in your tracks at the events unfolding on your left.
"grahahahah..." chuckles a harsh voice."GRAhAHAHAhaHAHAaha!"
Illfang has dashed backward away from the players, until it is now standing next to one of the pillars. Most of its considerable health bar is gone, yet instead of doing anything, it is just standing there. Standing there and laughing.
Diavel motions for everyone to back off, a confused look on his face.
Growing louder by the second, it laughs. "GrAHAHAHAhahHAAHAhAHaHA!"
When the laugh reaches a fever pitch, sounding more like the raving of a mad animal than anything else, it suddenly trails off.
"HaAHahA..."
Diavel, seeming to grow impatient by the second, charges at the monster, his weapon glowing blue.
In a split second, Illfang's entire demeanor shifts. All traces of mad rage that had been broiling just seem to vanish, replaced by calm self-assurance.
The torches lining the walls dim, clearly showing how the blood-red glow that had been shining within the monster's eyes fades, leaving behind ghostly white eyes that trace afterimages in the air.
No longer smiling, its ax is raised high… and then dropped to the ground, embedding itself in the stone.
With a serene look on its face, a clawed foot is raised high into the air, before being brought down with extreme force. Instantly, hairline fractures begin spreading out from the epicenter. Diavel nears the monster, his sword raised.
The end is come.
All is quiet for a moment.The time is nigh.
The entire floor erupts upwards.The Hopeslayer Awakens.
It charges.- - - - -

Chunks of stone and masonry discharge into the air, and the floor itself fractures into countless uneven pieces. Many players are knocked off their feet and smash into the walls or columns, you included. Your head, already battered by the Sentinel beforehand, is slammed directly into one of the obsidian pillars.
Honda takes 19 damage from Illfang's floor smash!
Black clouds your vision, and when you eventually regain enough of your senses, you lift your head up to see hell itself.
The monster is rampaging across the destroyed room, wrecking everything in its path. A player who had just risen to their feet is unceremoniously slapped to the side by a monstrous arm, crashing through a pillar and falling to the ground, unmoving.
Heathcliff is shakily climbing to his feet nearby.
Another player is grabbed by the arm, and the monster squeezes. A scream is ripped from the player's lips as her arm is crushed to paste, before being tossed aside like a broken doll.
Diavel is lost somewhere in the rubble, hidden from sight. Kiabou is shoving a health potion down someone's throat, shouting at people to help him get the injured to safety.
The monster's whiplike tail smashes through a pillar, raining down dust and rock upon you all.
A battered Agil is trying to rally the players, and failing miserably as everyone panics. The cloaked person is lying groaning against a wall some distance away from him, their hands quivering as they reach for a potion.
People are starting to retreat, stumbling as far away as Illfang as they can.
You blink away the dust in the air to see Illfang start towards a player who had been knocked far away from everyone else. It's the black-haired guy, who is just now starting to regain his bearings.

MWAHAHAHA I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.
You should note, the way flanking works has been tweaked a bit. I don't remember who mentioned it, but after the House Spider quest, someone mentioned it looked like flanking meant literally everything in a fight, since it gave straight advantage to the flanker (a pretty crazy bonus all things considered). The problem is, I don't want every fight to just turn into "flank it and then just wail on it until it dies", especially against solo bosses. So now, flanking provides a +2 to hit per extra flanker (up to a limit ofc) instead of immediate advantage. Hope that's alright with you guys.
This is how switching works currently: whoever wants to switch (can be front or back) has to roll a 1d20 + the DEX of both switchers. If it succeeds (over 10 + opponents DEX + other modifiers), the person who has switched to the front gets a free attack on the monster. On the other hand, if it fails, the monster gets a free attack on the player who has switched to the front.
Thoughts on both?
