Boss

{if Sneak=True} “DAAAarrrrrhhhgggghhhgh” the Boss of the Red Door gang cries after stumbling back more than a few steps. His head swivels left to right. You’re not sure if he is looking for another weapon or perhaps he is looking for a way out.

“Who are you and why are you trying to kill Klarg, and why do you seek to destroy the Red Door?” The bloodied Klarg asks.

“I’m Ai’cila, and the only thing I am doing is getting my friend back and killing those who are preventing me from doing so.” You declare.

“So I don’t stop you, you don’t kill me righhh ahh nooo.. stop i don’t.... aarahahhahahrrrrrrrhrhhH” Klarg roars. {endif}

“I am Klarg, leader of the Red Door gang. Who are you, and I don’t care. Klarg will end you!” he shouts, slobbering everywhere. {if Sneak=True} {else} He swings his giant club at the subordinate he had been yelling at, breaking him in half but sending him as a human projectile directly towards you. You slam your shield down, digging into the ground, and put your body weight up against just the lower and left half of the shield so that when the body hits your shield, some of that kinetic energy is bounced off, making the impact that much easier for you to endure. Unfortunately, the impact had dug your shield further into the ground, so much so that you are not able to pull it out and have to fall back to avoid one of Klarg's devastating swings. {endif}

Klarg goes on a frenzy of swings. But he relies way too much on brute strength, and every swing he takes is telegraphed. Reading it to dodge is easy enought, but his frenzy of attacks is still fast, and you might end up trading hits with him, which is probably not a good idea.
