The Online Craftsmaster 89 Finding Ideas together

John was in his workshop, but he wasn't able to create anything his thoughts were running wild about the colossus Problem. He didn't want to risk his chance of meeting his brother again but he just couldn't destroy the Angersteel Colossus as it was too strong. John sat down and started fidgeting with the dark piece of metal he achieved to slash of the Colossus.

John was in deep thought when Scythe entered the room and asking him: " My Lord I know you are busy thinking about the Colossus Problem. But another problem came to my attention as I was compiling the monthly report."

John looked up and turned around: "What is the Problem, Scythe?" John sighed and Scythe answered: "Somehow our Scrap-metal collection rate in the last month dropped by 68%. Shall we create more scraplings?"

John was surprised, if something was working in his Kingdom then it would be the scrap collection. What happened that this well-maintained workflow was in disarray now?

John went back to thinking and said: "Increase the numbers of scraplings for now, I will go out and take a stroll." John changed to his Dwarven appearance and walked in the direction of the Capital of his Kingdom...

...Meanwhile, Ullr was fighting dozens of strange Robots that looked like they were pieced together out of all kinds of parts they just had on hand. On his left side, he saw a Skorpion robot that had no head but were the stinger is supposed to be a Junkling was attached controlling it. Ullr nearly died because he started laughing after he saw the scorpion ram his Junkling Stinger into the ground after he evaded its attacks. Then he saw a Chase-o-bot that robbed another robot's arm and ran away.

But not all the Robots were as weak as them some of them had deadly combinations like a Demon-bot with a scorpion tail attached to it, or a Scorpion with a Crossbow as the end of his stinger. Ullr kept evading and couldn't attack as a barrage of attacks came in his direction, but he had hope as several Robots either destroyed themselves or took one or two allies with them. Also, the strange monkey robot was sneaking around and taking parts of destroyed robots with him, Ullr saw him several times but he didn't think much of it as he already saw the scraplings on the first floor. Ullr fought for half an Hour but the amount of injuries kept rising and his movements turned sluggish.

After another ten minutes he gave in after evading and a Crossbow bolt hit him in the shoulder, he managed to kill most of the robots but as he was injured from the second floor he just couldn't clear the third floor today. Ullr manage to kill another Robot chimera before his consciousness started to fade, in his last looks before he died he saw a strange silhouette of a giant robot that was created out of scrapped parts.

"That must be the Boss..." Ullr thought before his Vision turned Black. As usual, he woke up in the temple that was completely made out of metal, he went up to the pedestals and saw that the rough statue slowly gained a humanoid form, but what astonished Ullr more, was that there seemed to be a Second Being, being formed on the same pedestal. it looked like a tiny human with something strange on his back, and some strange things flying around him.

Ullr went outside and took a stroll through the city, to his surprise he met a familiar person...

John reached the city and just as he was walking past the Temple a familiar face came into his sight.

"Hey Ullr, how have you been? You still dying every day?" John asked with a chuckle. Ullr also chuckled after stomping on John's foot and watching how he was jumping on one leg holding his foot in pain. John cursed at him and asked afterward:" You wanna do something to pass some time? I need something to get my mind of a problem of mine."

Ullr nodded and said with a chuckle: "Sure, I've got time but no drinking this time, I am not in the mood for that today. Why don't we do something completely unorthodox and go hunt some Monsters?"

John agreed and they went to a Dungeon that was just some minutes away from them, it was filled with Plant and Insect type monsters. They went in and as soon as the first Monster came into sight Ullr quickly grabbed his Bow and fired an Arrow while John unsheathed his Hammer and ran toward a giant Hornet. The Arrow hit its target and penetrated deeply into the Body stunning the Hornet for a short amount of time until John's hammer came falling down killing the Hornet with a mighty swing.

Their dungeon run was as Easy as the beginning as they worked brilliantly together without the need to talk to each other. Soon they reached the Boss room a big Cave with a Hole in the roof where a beam of light was shining in illuminating the room. In the middle of the Room was the Boss, a giant flesh-eating Flower with dozens of small heads and dozens of roots that were going into the ground.

Both of them started with their usual strategy of John running forwards while Ullr makes a preemptive strike with one of his arrows. But this time it didn't go as planned as suddenly dozens of heads were attacking Ullr even though he was at the edge of the room. John wanted to help him but he was occupied with some more heads that were attacking him, he tried squashing them with heavy hits from his hammer but every time he killed one head it grew back shortly after.

Ullr could only evade the massive amounts of attack while John defended himself by squashing the Heads. Both of them had no idea how to beat the boss until Ullr suddenly said: "Schmied stop killing those heads you have to find a way to damage the Plant directly, maybe try aiming for smaller target that could destroy or cut off so that it gets weaker!" Suddenly John also had an idea after he saw one plant head bite another head after Ullr evaded and said: " Ullr try using the number of enemies to your advantage, let them attack each other." When Ullr heard that his facial expression changed to an understanding one while his movement pattern changed, suddenly more and more head were hitting each other and their regrowth seemed to slow down a bit.

John also used Ullr's advice and found a solution both for the boss and also his problem, he fought to get nearer to the Plant and started attacking the roots. With every root, he destroyed the regenerative ability seemed to slow down and after an Hour-long fight and some minor injuries the boss was beaten and John and Ullr shook each others hands and said goodbye as both of them found a solution for their respective Problems when they fought against the boss and gave each other hints...
