Of course, James was still certain the Terminus would be brought down in no time. His health was steadily getting chipped away from SoulDemon's attacks, and BurningJazzHands was finally starting to release his rainbow cooldown worth of spells as well. Between the two of them, they were going to be able to lay a lot of damage into the Terminus. And as long as SpinToWin's defensive skills kept the majority of the party safe, CheapHealz would be able to keep SoulDemon healed and debuff free.

”You almost done with that?” SpinToWin glanced down at Crikey, who had still been working on his new and improved trap. It looked like a crazy mixture between a pitfall trap, a bear trap, and a net trap all combined into one. James watched in surprise and astonishment as the trap minimized the moment Crikey picked it up. With a grin, he tossed it forward a good 20 feet away from the party, towards the center of the room. When the trap hit the ground, it deployed once more, before disappearing completely.

”Just need to bait it.” Crikey muttered, and he flipped through his menu screen for a moment. A second later, a scapegoat pet appeared at his side. ”I love the pets this dungeon drops. Totally worth the 50 gold I paid for this guy”

”Crikey.” SoulDemon's voice cut the trapper off. It seemed the Phantom Blade was not appreciative of their lax behavior while he was mid fight with the boss. Especially because the Terminus was not only launching an ever changing volley of attacks on SoulDemon, but James's boss was mocking the PhantomBlade the entire time.

Crikey sent his scapegoat pet walking slowly towards the middle of the room, until it was standing directly in the middle of where Crikeyh's trap had been placed.

”Oy, dinobot.” Crikey's call was obviously meant to get the Terminus's attention, but the boss simply ignored him. The Terminus was likely intending on killing the foolish melee dps, before he would switch to the party. After all, the Terminus knew the cleric would run out of mana sooner or later.

”If that was a taunt, it was terrible.” SpinToWin whispered to Crikey, who stuck his tongue out at him in return. It seemed the two of them were a little more laid back than Soul Demon. Of course, their skills allowed them to be.

”Right, let me try this one.” Crikey grinned and looked at his goat. ”Come get a free snack you ugly boss.”

”Really now? You should work on your trap placement. They are a bit, obvious and predictable.” The Terminus let out a dark chuckle and swung his tail down towards SoulDemon. The Phantom Blade's cooldown faded just at that instant, and he was sent flying backwards. Luckily, he had managed to block the attack. Unluckily, it still did a lot of damage.

”Then why are you walking towards it?” Crikey called out. As he did, his scapegoat pet let out a loud bleeting sound, and James watched the Terminus's head spin towards the goat and lock on. Of course, the scapegoat pet had a taunt skill. And while it was a rather short one, and pointless generally considering the Terminus could kill it with a single melee attack. It still did what Crikey needed. James watched the Terminus, his posh, intelligent, impressive second floor boss, loss all since of intelligence as it rushed, headfirst, towards a scapegoat standing in the middle of a trap.

”Alright, I've had enough of that.” James mumbled, pulling up a menu of his own. It was time to put the second part of his plan into motion.
