Three courageous "beasties"
Set out on a quest
Deliver horn to Numisu,
Who tired of the mess
- Friends, it's not simple…
Exclaimed Eluard.
- We know, - responded Brutus.
And Tidus: - "Fort Boyard"!
Let me explain for "Fort Boyard": they definitely have to go through the fiercest trials that all famous Fort Boyard personalities go through. In fact, that's what the meme is all about

Buried deep below the sands of this inhospitable wasteland lies the remnants of a civilization that once was great -a civilization that existed in an era where gods and mortals stood shoulder to shoulder. The hubris of mortal men brought about disaster that led to their own downfall. Mortal mages initiated a powerful arcane ritual that grew too strong for them to control, causing the city to be engulfed by desert sand. Now, all that remains of this once great civilization are its marvelous riches that lie somewhere beneath the desert’s dusty surface.
Transcript under cut.
Numisu: There was once an ancient civilization located here. The civilization is now buried deep underneath the desert sands, but perhaps its possible to unearth some of its ancient relics.
The chaotic forces that inhabit this land have turned it into a dusty, barren wasteland. The scorching heat makes it extremely unbearable for those that venture here.
What’s worse is, our water supplies are all gone. We must try to find another watering hole while we continue on our search for the ancient treasures.

(After fighting one enemy)
Numisu: Continuous fighting in such an environment is taxing on your heroes’ bodies. Your heroes will lose health and energy after every battle.
It’s advisable to avoid any fights if your heroes are in a bad condition to minimize casualties.
Your heroes are exhausted from battle, which has caused their health and energy levels to fall.
(You will receive this message after every fight)

Watering Hole: A miraculous oasis! Watering holes are able to rejuvenate weary travellers and resuscitate the dead.
Numisu: Praise Dura! An oasis in the desert! Your heroes can drink from the watering hole to restore their health and energy. It can even bring back the dead!
This wasteland is sure to have other watering holes scattered throughout it. The watering holes will be crucial to making it across the desert alive.
Log: Drinking the sweet waters from the desert’s oasis has rejuvenated out bodies and brought us back from the brink of death.
(Drinking from any Watering Holes will give this log entry)

(After stepping on the switch located in the northwest corner of the map)
Log: We have triggered a switch, which seems to have caused a loud rumbling sound to be heard in the distance. Perhaps we have opened a door to a long-covered passageway.

Dura’s Chalice of Vitality (in bag): An artifact forged by Dura herself. The chalice possesses Dura’s own blood and gives renewed vigor to anyone that drinks from it.
Backstory: Numisu has been following the masters of voodoo ever since he was small. He's been trying to learn their ways and communicate with the spirits but it was all in vain and he didn't seem to be making any progress. Just as he was about to give up, the land was stricken by a terrible plague and the voodoo masters and students were required to help tend to the sick. Numisu too was no exception. And much like many of his peers, it wasn't kong before he too got infected. On his deathbed, Numisu heard the spirits for the first time. He listened intently to what they had to say, feeling as life returned to his body. When he rose from his bed, he found new power within himself, soon eradicating the plague entirely, and becoming a great voodoo sage.
Class: Support
Personal opinion: I'm very neutral on Numisu. I don't find him particularly interesting or cool or amazing but I'm not bothered by him. He's a formidable enemy but just as good an ally. A well-rounded, well-defined character, and his union with Vurk and Saveas is surprisingly wholesome for a Mauler.
Headcanon: I think he might be from a monkey tribe, if there is one like that. It's probably really small though and they might have a hard time fighting for their place among the other Maulers which could be why he turned to voodoo.
