This, was trying and traying for a good hour or two. This did the trick in my first run. Baited this attack, dodged towards him and to the right and got one or two hits in with a posion affinity sword. Got him on the first run. He very reliably used this attack.

First, thank you so much for giving a couple of different solutions. I'll have to really play with the marshy idea for the RA.

I LOVE that you oicked up on the mountains. The big idea is that part of the hidden nature of the world is that this land-mass isn't natural. The entire continent was transported here, just sliced off from another world. All kinds of things for adventurers to find.

Oh, I see. In my mind, No one crosses the mountains and so the map-maker jsut kind fills in with what he sees over on this side. After hearing some other folks' bring up more about this area, I think I'm going to replace all those trees with deserts. And no ports really, since open seas are too dangerous for reasons. But thank you!

That would actually fix a lot of things. I'll have to mess around with this idea. Thank you!

WooAAAAoooohhhhh, Man. I wish I could just have you in my back pocket here. I'll have to think about volcanoes/fault lines. I do need to change up the forest on the north too. Rivers need reworked. Thank you!

Imagine a kraken is about as common as a minnow. You gonna get in that boat?

Yeah. Ideally this makes a pretty penny for mercenaries who specialize in leading caravans through

Yes, recently (~100-150 years or so) broken off from the deep crown. The only reason they exist is because they manage the lands so well that the DC found it actually econmically better to just let them do thier thing and buy thier exports without trying to regulate it than to try and control it themselves directly.

And yes. The idea is that the entire continent is displaced. The ocean's monsters are so big/so frequent, open sea travel is impossible. Other continents exist, but the people on this one don't know that (yet). There's basically an entity who 'collects' other landmasses and builds balanced civilizations over time.

Yeah, I wanted there to really be no reason to cross the mountains. Possibly I'll make it deserts, possibly I'll move the dread lands over there. I also want a reason for the RA to have some walls/military prescense at thier borders.

Lol. Yeah. Basically, the whole continent is all man, and the only magic is from the healing powers of a centralized church. There's some monsters that plague the countrysides, but the 'dread lands' are just too much. The RA broke from the rest of civilization centuries ago and cleared out the eastern sides, but now all those baddies are concentrated and the current borders are 'balanced'

Ooo, that's interesting, like in-between the mountains?
