Notes used to make / run the encounter:

• 2nd most powerful of the few dragons on rapture
• half of body replaced with machinery, consumes electricity to live
• Is unopposed in the area.
• Has accesses to the Juixis array
• Combination Beam Weapon/ Power Generator / Creature transformer
• Level 27 solo -> Best results send after a level 23-24 party.
• Possible Boss mechanics:
• Terrain interaction
• Threshold
• Forms
• Multiple Creature Parts

The encounter starts as the PC enter one of the doors. The Ascendant flies out andimmediatelyuses its breath weapon.

• Describe as a Dragon with half of its form replaced with machinery. When the first form is bloodied, describe how the mechanical side seems to spark and speed up. The array glows slightly.
• Second form is described as the same of the first, but bits of the dragon are falling onto the array. Array is bright. When Array fires, describe it as a bright flash, and then suddenly damage. When this form is bloodied, describe the organic side as starting to die.
• The 3rd form is the dragons body falling onto the Array, organic side dead, and the mechanical side connecting with the array. In this form the dragon cannot move. When this side is bloodied, it seems as if the dragons power core is starting to run out.

His stats may be found in the google group link, it was determined to be too difficult to transfer him.
