The Ball of Flesh

The Ball

The mass that swallowed combatants and harem alike; when it broke, three marked outworlders escaped for good.

Story so far

Elle mentions seeing a goddamn naga in the chaos after the ball broke, and is proved right when Prepotente confirms that Rust's Harem were among those swept up.

They were pulled into the ball by Donut's War Crime spell but never captured as enemies, thanks to their Non-Combatant NPC status. When the Battle Formation spell was dispelled, they fled into Larracos; several were killed, but three escaped through the Desperado Club to the Eighteenth Floor.

Appearance

A great mass of captured bodies, since broken open and scattered.

Role

The mass capture whose collapse released Li Na's marked outworlders.
