Altar Guard

A Blood Altar stands by every town: the map above shows each of them. Destruction bosses come out of 12 altars, the other 5 stay quiet.

• Every 4 hours the altar comes alive with a 50% chance, and all its bosses appear at once.
• The bosses stay up to 4 hours: when the time is up, they leave even in the middle of a fight.
• Killing all the bosses of an altar closes it, and its 4-hour timer starts again.
• A boss pulled farther than 1000 from its place gets all its HP back, and so does its guard.
• Each boss drops a weapon enchant scroll of destruction of its grade. It is a safe scroll, not a sure one: the chance is the usual one, but a failure keeps the item and its enchant level. It works up to +15.
• Nothing is announced: a live altar is told by its worshipper and guards, who lie dead at it while the bosses are up.
