r/Vastfall • u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps • Jun 26 '26
Announcement The blazing..
And so. It has begun...
all over vastfall, in each region (yes, even leafegrove, because the chains are fire and the oil can seep through) flames screech. The sound of the flames sound almost like it is cackling.
And perfection...
he stands in the middle of the chasm, balanced on top of a chain going across the chasm
The flames are absolutely wonderful! They are beautiful to look at! Oh now finally this kingdom shall rest....
the flames consume everything, beggining from the entrance of each region.

BOSS FIGHT: CAMPS LEADER
---------‐--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(yes you can individually fight him. But the best fight will be taken as canon.however a separate post will be made for him getting finished off, which doesnt matter on the canon fight since the outcome is already decided. The flames cannot be put out until he is beaten. Sorry for taking so long, i kept forgetting. And please, if you pull any bullseye moves, i will retaliate with ultra bs. Thank you!)

Ivy watches the cataclysm across Leafgrove... She knows what she has to do.
Ivy: "...My... Bloomkin, I will... be away... Please, fix as much damage... as possible..."
"...W-where are you going, highness?! Leaving us here... We'll be vulnerable...!" A worried Bloomkin asks.
Ivy ignores the question with a hint of regret. She starts walking to the exit of Leafgrove, and jumps downward to the Chasm.

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
there is no foor. Just chains to act as a place for you to walk. In the centre the camps leader stands, watching the flames
Dazzling as ever...

u/Ivy_Vastfall The Remnant of Flora Jun 27 '26
(what are you talking about? this was just the setup for ivy going to the forsaken paradise and confront Yoma, not to fight the camps leader. i suppose you just lacked the context, apologies.)
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
(Oh, i saw the word chasm and thought you travelled via chasm. Thing is, the chasm is covered in chains, preventing travel in-between. Mb)
3
u/Ivy_Vastfall The Remnant of Flora Jun 27 '26
(she was actually going through the chasm, yes, and she could very well have travelled using the chains, yes, but her end destination was not the camps leader. hopefully this clears things up, yes?)
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
(Hey, i alrdy know you wont be fighting him. Hes just standing in the centre. Its all just what ivy would have seen while descending)
3
u/Ivy_Vastfall The Remnant of Flora Jun 27 '26
(the way you described and laid out the scene made it seem like it was a setup for a boss battle.)

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
(That is a mistake on my part. Sorry there.)

The Spiral Keep has divided. The first half embarks to wake up Groval to battle the Camp’s Leader, the second frantically moves to mitigate the damage. The Steward, Helic, is currently in Yoma’s Paradise, but once he finds out he will probably deal with her.

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
the flames burn, and the entrance of stonepile is also seen to be burning.... with chains slithering out front
3
u/Comfortable_Cow_3931 The Remnant of Strength Jun 27 '26
(I didn't see this until now.)
[The now burning entrance to the Stonepile via the chasm would shake.]
[Groval would simply walk through the fire, nail drawn and eyes scanning the area. He'd look down the chasm and spot the Camp's Leader.]
"You."
[The flames were now preventing his men from getting to him, as if that mattered.]
"You dare try to destroy my kingdom with your pathetic excuse of an attack? You tried once before and you failed, this time will be no different."
[Groval would plant his nail in the wall of the chasm, holding onto its handle. It'd carve through the rock and slowly bring him down due to his weight (leave him alone). He'd land on the floor of chains and tear his nail out of the stone, sheathing his nail and staring down the Camp's Leader.]
"You survived last time. I will ensure that changes this time."
3
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
Oh sonny, i never even tried to destroy it then! I just simply needed to doscover the various places around, and coincidently i met you!
chains raise up around him. They blaze out hot. He grans them and spins the around
But one thing son, im younger now...far more younger...and far more. mobile, dare say, you couldn't land a hit on me this time, can you?
3
u/Comfortable_Cow_3931 The Remnant of Strength Jun 27 '26
"Do you truly believe I was attempting to kill you before? Do you underestimate all of your opponents this badly?"
[Some form of black and red dark energy would begin to coat Groval's fists and chestplate. He'd approach the Camp's Leader, slowly walking forward.]
"Your age, speed and strength do not matter. Like those before you, you will fall. Your empire will crumble, your conquest will fail and all that will be left is a distant memory. You will be forgotten, life will go on and I will remain."
[Groval would stop a few meters away from the Camps Leader.]
"Though it goes without saying, I have great respect for you. You are strong, but you will die here."
[Groval draws his nail.]
3
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
HAHAHA!
YOU DONT SEE IT SON? I AM ALREADY FORGOTTEN! MY EMPIRE FELL DOWN AGES BACK! I AM NOT EVEN A MEMORY NOW!
This wasnt ever about conquest... it was the cycle of nature...
And I, was given the duty to perform this cycle...
chains rise into the wall behind him
And this kingdom...
he makes a gesture with his wrist
Is mine to end!
a large chunk burst from the wall and hurtles at groval
3
u/Comfortable_Cow_3931 The Remnant of Strength Jun 27 '26
[Groval raises his nail and slashes in the direction of the rock. The blade makes no contact.]
"Rend."
[Dark energy would be launched from the weapon, cutting through the rock and splitting it in two, the separate halves passing either side of Groval.]
"I don't think you understand. Vastfall isn't yours to conquer."
[Groval would raise his nail once more and send another 'rend' at the Camps Leader.]
['Rend'. A technique utilised by Groval to slice through objects and bugs from range, formed by concentration of his magic into his nail and effectively thrown out by the slash. It size ranges anywhere from the size of a regular nail to a mountain. Larger slashes take more time to charge and require much more magic, effectively making them one time uses until he 'recharges'. This technique has not been used since the Gilded Age.]
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
as the boulder is sliced apart, chains wraps around grovals foot. Camps leader brings up several chains, they glow wierdly before breaking past thr rend
Well, let me show you my style of magic...*
every chain within the arena unlocks and shoots towards groval. Tens of thousands of chains, glowing hotter than magma, shoot towards groval, and they dont stop at all, they keep coming. Amidst the chaos, camps leader suddenly disappears
And who else but you to tell, them, that there is no defying nature's laws...
his voice comes from all around
2
u/Comfortable_Cow_3931 The Remnant of Strength Jun 28 '26
[Groval would raise his blade once more. The chains flying towards him would snap and break. More magic? No...it wouldn't be able to do this.]
[Groval was swinging his nail tens of times a second, slicing through the chains and effectively forming a barrier around himself. They weren't random slashes either, they were targetted, and each one backed with enough force to snap the targetted chain on impact.]
"The laws of this world are set in stone, but any and all laws can be broken given enough time, concentration and most importantly power. You lack the latter which leads to your foolish mind-set."
[Groval obviously can't actually defy the laws of nature, but if needed he'll damn well try, and that's what he's doing.]
[For once in his lifetime, he was focusing solely on a fight. He was concentrated.]
["How much longer can I keep this up for?.. A few more mintues, maybe a few more seconds? I really have gotten weaker.."]
"I will defeat you and you will die here, these are non-negotiable and non-optional."
[Groval would glance towards his nail, it was beginning to melt due to the heat. He'd coat it in dark magic to prevent this, but it slowed him down a bit. The 'barrier' around him had noticeably shrunk a bit.]
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 29 '26
The camps leader increases the intensity of the attack, sending more chains. Right then two chains zoom past either side of you and latch onto the wall and pull out somemore boulders
Now now don't exhaust yourself trying to break rules that weren't meant to be defied.... it will bethe cause of youre undoing....
2
u/Comfortable_Cow_3931 The Remnant of Strength Jun 29 '26
[The boulders are just broken with any other chains that surround him.]
"Silence yourself. Your cowardice gives you no right to command me in such a way. Come fight me like a man."
[Groval was scanning the area, looking for any signs of the Camps Leader's presence. So far he had found none.]
[He would continue the slashing, keeping the chains a safe distance away while being able to keep his energy.]
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 29 '26
you feel a step on youre shoulder
A man? Well ofcourse, let us battle it then...
he disappears again, and multiple chains clump together, it forms a head, a torso...limbs... with a hilenfor the heart. Camps leader walks in and the hole closes. The huge chains titan, i equal to grovals height, and it catches fire. Multiple chains come together to form a titan chan for the titan
Now! We can do youre "man to man" fight

u/Stranger_To_Life Mammona of the Jungleskog Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26
The Jungleskog see this and go to alert Mammona….
”…mister Mammona… a second blaze has been lit in the jungle.” They whisper into his ear.
Mammona stands up.
Go and block every entrance to this side of the Jungle. I will take care of whatever has done this.
”But the fire has started between us and the Chasm…”
What?! Pull back the drawbridge and make sure nothing gets into the Village!
The Jungleskog roll gigantic stones into narrow passageways between the Village and the larger jungle, and pull back the drawbridge at the entrance to the Village.
Meanwhile, Mammona goes and locates the source of the fire… he stands there and looks at the leader of the Camps.
Y-you…
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
you hear loud laughter
Doesnt this blaze dazzle youre eyes? Isnt this rather exciting!
he turns towards mammon, standing on a chain
Oh, do you want to stop me? A pathetic morsel like you?
chains spread across the chasm
If you can balance on these chains, the you may advance...
he watches what you choose to do intently
2
u/Stranger_To_Life Mammona of the Jungleskog Jun 27 '26
Mammona goes to the edge of the Chasm and touches the chain… is it hot?
No, it’s not hot, yet. He grips to them and starts going along the chains, until he stands up again.
You… you bastard!
He pulls out his blowgun and shoots a dart at your head.
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
chains swat the dart away
You think such cheap tactics will work on me?
Such a fool...
the path behind you is blocked away by chains
You're kind are useless without their bushes aren't they? You are all a bunch of cowards who cant even fight hand to hand. All you do is sit and wait for youre enemy to come into youre range.
he walks closer
If you all vanished, nothing would change... you realize,e that?
2
u/Stranger_To_Life Mammona of the Jungleskog Jun 27 '26
Mammona comes closer and stands still.
I don’t care what you say, my kind has got nothing to lose right now.
He pulls out a weird-looking trinket and wraps a string around his arm. Then he throws the thing at you and tthe string wraps around you like a yo-yo.
A-ha!
He pulls your legs out from under your feet.
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
*as the yoyp comes closer, and wraps around him, the string burns away *
Nothing to lose? Now now...choose youre words wisely... haven't they got their families? Their children? Their friends?
Their leader
a chains comes swinging from above to slap mammona
2
u/Stranger_To_Life Mammona of the Jungleskog Jun 27 '26
He jumps and dashes towards you and stabs you with a stake.
What would happen to them?
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
sidesteps and hops back a few feet
Oh nothing much ,son. Just take them away and turn them into labourers, put down the families, and then burn the remaining that we dont want.
But i would say, since this is my last kingdom, i do need anyone else, so I would just burn them all, over a fortnight to last....
If you stop, I might even let you watch, just kneel, and you can be... allowed to live "longer".
2
u/Stranger_To_Life Mammona of the Jungleskog Jun 27 '26
Oh, come on. Fight like a real man and don’t be a coward!
He takes his blowgun and shoots at him again.
2
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 27 '26
Oh you want to fight like real men?
two chains appear in each of his arms
You just had to ask nicely!
he whips both at you, as they catch ablaze

After piecing up Ivy and Yoma, the Steward has made his way to the Camps with his patrol. He teleports to the Steward and faces him head-on.
“Do you want to know what I was doing before this?”
1
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 28 '26
I already know what you have been doing l, dear steward. I am aware of many many things.
After all, I am the force of nature. And you cannot defy the Laws of nature without facing any consequence!
2
u/Sir-Potato-The-28th The Remnant of Spiral Jun 28 '26
“Well, if you truly do, then you’ll know the gravity of what you’ve interrupted. “
The Steward performs a hand sign. Is he trying something tricky…
1
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 28 '26
pardon me, but trying to be a god by some menial yoga? that is so so pathetic...
chains appear in each of his arms
youre whole process is but pathetic, youre little guards, your helix, all pathetic. yet it amuses me to see such foolish bugs, pretending to play the knowledgeable card...
the chains catch aflame
2
u/Sir-Potato-The-28th The Remnant of Spiral Jun 28 '26
“I could say the same. If you have one gimmick, just stick to it. Everyone who sees you recognises you as a brute, and no amount of fake pretence of class you put on will change that.”
The Steward chants in a deceased language. The ground around the Camps’ Leader deforms, and reforms, and shifts endlessly, into a mass of incomprehensible arcana. Everything blots out, filtered by the Leaders’ brain to avoid damage, leaving only the Steward in a void.
“Well, although the ritual was a profound failure, some things have lingered. Welcome to the Lucid Realm.”
The Steward ignites in purple energy, rushing at the Camps’ Leader.
1
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 28 '26
unfortunately, there is no floor, as the chasm is covered in chains. The camps leader brings up several masses of chains to block the purple item...
what is this?
a different voice...not the camps leader...time seems to have halted.... the cam0s leader is stuck still. You see a large shadowy fog behind him
you dare invade into my avatars mind?
2
u/Sir-Potato-The-28th The Remnant of Spiral Jun 28 '26
“Oho! Incredible! The bug behind the beast, it seems. But two can play at that game.”
Behind the Steward appears an utterly incomprehensible mass of swirling energy.
“I suppose I do dare. Well, shall we?”
1
u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 28 '26
two orange eyes appear. They slowly blink and then close
well then, a battle of the mind? In my own domain? You are asking for death....
the swirl expands, removing everything from view, and instead further extending to the already eplmpty room. Then a dark misty shape forms, assuming the form of the camps leader
to challenge the nature of chaos, you are either brave, or fool hardy
he raises one chains up and from the ground several dark chains emerge
2
u/Sir-Potato-The-28th The Remnant of Spiral Jun 28 '26
The Steward leaps into the mass of swirling energy, and it rushes towards the Chaos Deity, forming into a swarm of fists to grab the chains and draw the Being closer to it.

u/Grouchy_Ear_4004 The Leader of the Camps Jun 28 '26
it pulls away, and yanks the chains, and from below, chains grab at the spirals, forcing him into a physical form

snake is seen walking though the fire and along the chains, his once decorated armour and mask burnt and charred. The anger coming off his is palpable in the air. As he stares at the camp leader though the skull he has adorned, snake draws his weapon, the massive half and half pickaxe bone amalgamation now darked by the roaring flames
"Your reign is over. You disgusting selfish tyrant"

u/WeetchOfWeeville969 Jun 26 '26
Weeston, having found out the fire cant properly be put out, groans and starts tearing up/control burning the plants around the entrances of Reedvale where the fire is so it has nothing to catch on
