And he drew the star, and stood in the midst of the fire. — Covenant of Blood 5:1
The goat-headed priest fell in the first rebellion and keeps the seals. He strikes from afar with floor patterns, slips away from those who close in and leaps behind archers; in the second phase he hides among doubles.
The pentagram is a seal of the Law, the mark of a place that is held. Hell was filled beyond measure, and its circles hold only by Baphomet's seals. He draws them day and night, and knows what the imps do not: the same star rose of itself on the square of Pentagram City, where souls first stood by their own will. That seal he never drew, and cannot break.
Phases
I · Rite — from the start. II · Illusion — from 60% health. III · Frenzy — from 25%.
Pentagram
A 13 m star is drawn for the whole windup. Its points flare one by one, 34 each, then the whole star at once — 40. Safe in the pentagon at the centre and between the points.
Stand in the heart of the star, for the fire walketh upon its points.
Fire beams
From a seal in the middle of the hall 2 beams, in illusion 3, in frenzy 4, sweep around for 7 s. A touch burns 20 every 0.5 s — run with them.
The fire goeth round about; walk with it, not against it.
Goat sign
A mark under you; after 1.1 s it explodes for 30 within 2.4 m and fans out 10 low bolts of 14 — jump them or back off where the fan thins.
The goat's sign is beneath thy feet; go where the fan groweth thin.
Leap
If you are beyond 6.5 m, he vanishes in smoke and rises behind you: a staff blow of 40, a 160° sector. See the smoke — turn and jump away.
Smoke behind thee — turn.
Withdraw
Come within 4.5 m and he sinks into the ground, rising 10 m away, while his old spot explodes: 22 in a 3.5 m circle.
Where he stood, there shall be fire; follow not hard upon his heels.
Doubles
He rises on a ring with 2 copies, in frenzy 3; all of them shoot. Hit a false one — a curse of 28 under you; hit the real one — he freezes for 2 s. Copies fade after 12 s.
The true one hath a shadow and a breath; the false have none.
