2/25 - Stairs Of Julux (7)

• 200 ft. descent to stair’s end. 
• Corridor is same as Stairs 5. 
• Stairs open to 40 ft diameter (20 ft. high) dome of smooth obsidian filled with same wiring as stairs. 
• On northeast wall, taking up its entirety, are different blank analog and digital screens fused to its surface. At its base, defunct desktop hard drives, laptops, modems, and routers loudly hum. 
• Wiring from floor has broken through surface, melding with machinery. 
• Screens pop and crackle to life in snowy greys before fading to black. A green wireframe human head emerges on them––each monitor taking up a section of its face. 
• Julux, Gatekeeper of the Net-Void-SphereScape (MT-ST), stares at the Punks and, without a word, attacks!
• Julux attacks:
  • Green eyes sizzle with yellow fury and unleash energy bolts for FIGHTING ROLL+2d8 VIG HP DMG. 
  • Every third COMBAT ROUND, Julux spits out 1d4 Electro-Kin (MT-S), small beings comprised of green electricity that shock their foes. 
  • Every fifth COMBAT ROUND, Julux utters a prayer to Lobofexx to curse the Punks. Punks must make a successful VIG STAT CHECK or suffer -5 FIGHTING ROLL for 1d6 COMBAT ROUNDS. 
• On Julux’s defeat, its screen will cut in and out with images of Yuki (see LV. 1) urging you to enter the Net-Void-SphereScape to rescue her. Depending on the party’s numbers, many cyber-helms burst through Julux’s screens like metal tentacles for the Punks to jack into!
