From the roof of the restricted Hexcloak train station, Caoimhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, and Brontë Adelvys can hear the approach of a train. It is a train that will take them east, towards the coastline, towards Cenn, City of Iron Chains, and towards a brush with deity and destiny both. But if they are to board this train, they must first overcome a foe equal parts cryptic and cunning: The Fleggus!
This week on Perpetua: On Track to Iron Chains Pt. 02
Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.03] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS]Fleggus [NMFG]
Typical Traits: Territorial, Cackling, Experimental
Stats: DEX 6, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 8
Attacks: Fleggus Staff, Feathershell, Chain Lightning
Special Abilities: Final Act: Stoneshell
In-Game Description: A green, speckled megga flegg with a black, feathery cloak, wielding a staff topped by what looks like a smaller version of its own green, speckled egg form.
It's a Wizard Flegg!!! Honestly, as far as I can tell, it seems like this guy is more bark than bite. (Do Fleggs bark? Wait, do Fleggs bite?) He's a miniboss, but he doesn't have a ton of HP, and while Chain Lightning can be annoying if it hits, once you get the dazed debuff, it's not like he has a way of taking advantage of you with that. Maybe if he had more than just a pair of regular old Fleggs ot back him up.
(Also: It's not clear to me if a "megga flegg" is a special class of Flegg or not, but it definitely makes me think that we'll be seeing more of these guys.)
Starter Tip: Unlike regular Fleggs, he's weak to ICE instead of FIRE. What's up with that?
Flegg [see NMFL]
Conductor Chend (he/him) [NMCC]
Traits: Pacifistic, Protective, Warweary
Stats: ???
Attacks: Get Off My Train
Spells: ???
In-Game Descriptions: Conductor of The Argent Wind, this birdkind engineer has put his past of fighting behind him.
In one of the preview screenshots, this guy is CLEARLY a Dove, but in game I think he's meant to be one of the Seagulls from the western continent? Not sure why they'd change that.
Starter Tip: DO NOT try to start a fight on the train. He will interrupt the fight and basically wipe your whole party!
Attendant Sono (he/him) [NMSN]
Traits: Enthusiastic, Modest, Acquiescent
Stats: ???
Attacks: ???
Spells: ???
In-Game Descriptions: Attendant of the Argent Wind. This Lobble is something of a pushover.
Not much to say about this dude. I do like how he's basically a rubber band ball though. It's probably pretty cool to be a living rubber band ball.
Starter Tip: I can't confirm this, but I've heard that if you manage to pickpocket Sono, you get a free drink ticket for the dining car, and that you can do this repeatedly. If you fail, though, it starts a fight and Chend will show up and lay the smacketh down on you, so be careful!
