A funny thing happened on my way through the Sanctum... 01/15/2017 12:47 PM CST
Nine extra lives and over 3k damage later!

Also want to point out a potential issue / minor bug with the monstrosity where it utilized it's near-death ability twice in a row without any apparent damage taking place in between (I'm guessing I might have reduced it to negative health more than it's total health or something weird like that?).




A patchwork flesh monstrosity trundles in, shaking the floor with its footsteps.

Interleaved brass and copper ornamentation gleams from the edges of an arched niche along the western wall. Nearby, the smooth facade of pale sandstone is marred by a crusted brown stain, as if something has slid down the wall into a heap, but the source of the blotch is nowhere to be seen. A faint iron tang clings to the air. You also see a patchwork flesh monstrosity that is lying down and the black Faulkil disk.
