Cruentus (Tactics)

Cruentus, the Bloodthirsty Reaver, is the fifth boss of Death'kul, and a blood keeper and the right hand of Esquire. He is able to devastate any platform the player stands on, and is able to subject people to their worst fears, especially with the demons he is able to summon.
Cruentus' boss mechanics are quite challenging and pose a huge threat to anyone off task for even a second. 
==Background==
===Dungeon Guide===
Cruentus is a blood reaper - rather than souls being currency of an aspect, Cruentus lives off the blood of his enemies, and for the thrill of fear and fighting. Seeing Esquire as a means to obtain this, he swore himself into servitude to aid his machinations. However, Cruentus soon became a big threat himself, enough that he could possibly overwhelm Esquire. The chance he didn't take may lead to the conclusion that Cruentus is there for the lives of his foes, even if it means he must die bathing in his own blood.

===Intro===
*Salvator: Tylious, slow down. Don't be so hasty. We can't afford to be in Deathlius' heim..
*Tylious: Shut the hell up, Salvator. I'll do as I please.
*Salvator: Suit yourself then.
*A demon appears in front of Tylious. Tylious is slightly startled.
*Salvator: What did I tell you?
*Tylious drops K'Chonal as an act to intimidate.
*Salvator: Sigh...
*Salvator: What is this place? Oh! The Chambers, the altars... where Deathlius goes to pray.
*Tylious: And where the other idiots go to think something like that exists.
*Salvator: You're neglecting hope?
*Tylious: Be quiet.
*Salvator gets angered.
*Cruentus: Cower, in your worst fears.
*Salvator: What the hell is that?
*Tylious: Why don't you open your eyes and take off that mask?
*Salvator: Fine then, you fucking tell me.
*Tylious: It's clearly a red robed man wielding a scythe.
*Cruentus: Your madness clouds your vision, fool. Your friend can see clearer than you can.
*Salvator: That grin... is that a demon behind him?
*Cruentus: Be subjugated to absolute fear. Maybe it was wrong to open your eyes.
===Phase 1===
*Cruentus: Fear is a primal aspect. The bigger you fear me, the more dangerous I'll be.
*(Blood Reaping) You all need to provide gifts...
*(Bloodflame) Let your life betray you...
*(Boiling Gauntlet) Time is nigh.
*(Platforms) Pray you hold on.
*(Fear the Reaver) Let's play a game, where fear is the catalyst.
**Tylious: Move right, you worthless fool.
**Salvator: Move to the left, quick!
**???: Straight, it comes from the back.
**???: Don't be incompetent. It is close!
**Cruentus: Blast... you outran fear.
*(Sleeping Death) Don't be one with fear...
===Phase 2===
*Taste true fear. Absolute terror.
*You all will wish you could sleep.
===Killing a Player===
*Good night, go to sleep.
*Heheheheh... NICE TRY! HAHAHA!
*Fear overpowers hope.
*All hail Esquire.
===Defeat===
*It seems as if you may be courageous enough.
===Outro===
*Salvator: Such fear...
*Tylious: Don't be such a wimp.
*Salvator: I know for a fact you were frightened, Tylious. Quit trying to be gungho.
*Tylious: Hmph.
*Salvator: If only he could see you now.
*Tylious: YEAH? And WHAT? WHAT!
*Salvator: Calm down. Let's head for the staircase.
*Tylious: Don't say that again. You hold regret in your hands.
*Salvator: We'll see about that.
