I do like it when people can so accurately portray a historical site like that. Good stuff there Amy!
My composer did a really nice music track so I wanted to show it off.

Also been working on the M.F. Lazarus Encounter.
Got the basic mechanics down.
M.F Lazarus has 66,666 HP, not much for that stage in the game, but he has incredibly high resistances, to most elements he's anywhere from 20% normal damage to outright immune. He also has abnormally high magic and physical evasion (50% of each).
This makes him difficult to damage, abilities that Deal Chaos damage are the most ideal, such as Pep's 'The Magician', Rolly's "Fist of the Beef Gods", Tristy's "Rain of Stars" and multiple of Limbo's abilities.
All of his attacks are certain hit, making Reflects pointless.
He casts a nasty ability on a party memeber when they are given an auto-life ability. If it doesn't result in their death, it'll still be a pretty spooky dilemma.
Applying Ward, Dampen, Regen or Focus will also trigger a reactive behaviour, which will dispel all buffs and also give you halved major stats (Strength, Defence, Mabgic and Agility), however, you can use Rolly's Trufflephoria to give yourself bonuses to those stats and he won't do anything about it.
The encounter has two phases, the first is a lot more manageable, and gives you breathing room to discover what he wont allow, and what does and doesn't work, Phase 2 is when he reaches 50% health, he heals half of his max HP, and ever 20% of his max hp he loses, he casts a nasty aoe attack that does 6666 damage, this is chaos damage, and therefore unlike his ARC LIGHTNING, or PROBABILITY OF ABSOLUTE DEATH abilities, can't be resisted by having good lightning resistance.
At level 50 your base MaxHP is at most 5000 (on Rolly and Limbo) and at low end, 2500. Meaning you'll need some decent HP buffs to even LIVE through these attacks, furthermore, if it doesn't kill the player it will inflict TIME STOP on them, the ONLY way to get around this is to have an Esperia's Charm equipped. (Accessory that makes you impervious to most negative status effects, however it also "Nullifies the End of Time". It can also be used in this way for the W i z a r d encounter.
When you live through the attack, Lazarus is surprised, and the prominent survivor (closest to the party front) receives an UNTOUCHABLE buff, that makes them harder to damage. this buff persists through death, and makes them unable to be effect by timestop from then on out, meaning you can switch out the charm for something more desired, if applicable.
Due to his treatment of auto-life mechanics and defensive abilities, and his absurd damage output, Lazurus is by far the most challenging boss so far, you also have to stat whore to even live though much of his second phase. His lower HP is only a distraction from the fact he is very difficult to damage at all.
