level one
Level Name: Roughwood hillocks
Intro: It has been two days since the mysterious flying cocoon has last been sighted in the Skye. It seems as though it has landed somewhere in the mountains. We sent a small group of scouts to investigate the area where the cocoon might have landed.
Some old myths say that the flying cocoon appears in the skye once every 1000 years. The myths also speak from a race called Vurrbll, insect-like creatures that use inaudible soundwaves to communicate over extreme distances. The cocoon is their home and they come to earth to find edible matter. These are just myths, but even if they aren't true, the cocoon is mysterious and possibly dangerous, so we need to get to the bottom of this. We hope that our scouts return quickly with their report, to confirm whether or not the fairytales about the Vurrbll are true or not.
Location: Fae Forest
Biome: A high altitude mountain with few high spruce trees. There's a harsh wind and small patches of snow on the ground and the trees. The ground is mostly covered in moss, with few red mushroom scattered around. It's basically a rough, high-altitude version of the Fae Forest.
Level Description:
The red dots are campfires (see level feature). The right most has gnolls sitting around it, fishing in the lake and searing marshmallows, and the other one is completely deserted. The yellow dots are work the same as the gems in the other fae levels. The yellow arrow shows a shortcut for flying enemies. The green arrows are pinetrees.
Recurring Enemies: Wulf (very common), Winter Wolf (common), Satyr Cutthroat (very common), Satyr Hoplite (uncommon), Bandersnatch (very uncommon), screecher bat (uncommon)
New Enemies: Vurrblet (very common), Vurrblatic (uncommon) and Vurrblump (very uncommon)
Level two
Level Name: Cocoon Canyon
Intro: General, the myths are true and the Vurrbll are definitely not just fairytail characters from the past. We upset them by sending scouts into their territory and now they turn aggressive as soon as they sense any sound. We have to destroy the Cocoon, all the while we work our way around the many nearby cliffs and canyons.
The cocoon has limited housing space, so our plan is to outlast the Vurrbll and exhaust them. Once we find an opening, we reach out to destroy the cocoon to eliminate these outlandish creatures for once and for all.
Luckily for us, we came across a friendly pixie. In her worry for the forest's future with the Vurrbll around, she offered her help. She knows a lot about the forest and she can show us the best ways to cross the rough terrain, plus she can defy physics and put enemies to sleep. With such an asset, we have the edge.
Location: fae forest
Biome: The same forest as the previous level, but with more rocky terrain.
Level Description:
The green dot is the cocoon. The red parts around it form a flower. When the boss is defeated, the flower withers and lets loose of the cocoon. The cocoon then tumbles into a canyon, shown by the pink arrow.
Recurring Enemies: Wulf (very common), Winter Wolf (common), Satyr Cutthroat (common), Satyr Hoplite (uncommon), Bandersnatch (very uncommon), screecher bat (uncommon)
New Enemies: Vurrblast, Vurrboss
Enemies

It also has a tail in the form of an electrical plug. It's movement is floaty and very reminiscent of a soundwave.

Every time 400 damage is done to the giant Vurrblet, damage drops by 5-15 and lives taken drops by one. Druid attacks do 5 times as much damage (4 times as much when 400 damage is done, 3 times as much when 800 damage is done, etc.)
Description: hairy flying eel-insect hybrid creatures with antennas that shoot thunder from their butts. Terrifying.
Name: Vurrblump
Appearance: A Vurrblump is a very big pink type of Vurrbl. It's sphere-shaped, but it also has chubby triangular arms, unlike Vurrblet. It's underside and backside are covered in rock-hard skin, protecting the Vurrblump from damage. It floats slightly above the ground, but it's still considered as a grounded enemy, similar to a twilight golem.

- whenever 3 or more Vurrbll die near a Vurrblump within 10 seconds, the Vurrblump gestures it's arms over each other with a bit of space between them (as if he is trying to roll an oversized meatball) and two Vurrblet spawn between it's arms. Spawned Vurrblet won't trigger this skill again when they die. Cooldown: 10 seconds
Description: Chubby Vurrbll with rock-hard skin that reproduce on the spot in a mysterious manner.
Name: Vurrblast
Appearance: a red type of Vurrbll who developed stretchy limbs. It's base is the same as a Vurrblet (including the tiny wings and antennas), but a Vurrblast also has stiff springs as 'legs' with two simple feet, both with one toe each, and a mouth to make noises that can actually be heard. It's arms aren't as well developed yet and are just thin, long strings of fur that flail behind the Vurrblast when it runs.

Name: Vurrboss
Appearance: The boss consist of two mini-bosses that each exit the cocoon from a different gape. Both have the the same body structure and movements as Vurrblatic. One has green fur and the other has orange fur. Instead of an electrical plug though, the mini-bosses have large needle as tail.
HP: 7200 each
Damage: none
Armour rating: none
Magic resistance: none
Speed: slow

- flying
- every time that a mini-boss loses 1/4 of it's total health, it pins itself into the ground with it's needle for 5 seconds. It injects the earth with a poison. The ground around the needle becomes dark green and crackled permanently, and allied units that stand on it take 25 damage per second.
- the bosses exchanges an electrical bolt between each other's antennas, stunning all towers struck by the bolt for 5 seconds.
- when one mini-boss dies, the other takes takes 20 damage per second until it dies too, and an extra wave of Vurrbll storm out of the cocoon. You have to defeat all Vurrbll on the screen. Defeating both bosses doesn't instantly kill them all.
Description: the two big Vurrbll brothers live in symbioses with each other.
level feature
Name: updraft
Type: Negative
Trigger: Passive
Effect: Small groups of strayed gnolls started a campfire to keep themselves warm in the chilly and windy environment they ended up in. The wind blows the hot air over the path.
If a Vurrblet (including giant Vurrblet) or a Vurrblast come into contact with the updraft from the campfire, they will start to float up and they will be considered flying enemies for 20 seconds.
Hero
Name: Strophe
Appearance and personality: Strophe is a pixie, just like Catha. Unlike Catha, however, Strophe is very timid and calm, and she will never lose her cool. Her hair is fiery red, her eyes vibrant green and her dress is made from yellow and orange autumn leafs. Strophe is a lone wolf, yet physically weak, so she relies on disabling enemies so you as the general can take them out more easily, to protect the woods that are her home.
health: 400
damage: 1-1 ranged AoE 'damage' (it doesn't deal much damage, but stuns enemies for 2 seconds instead)
magic resistance: medium
speed: fast
respawn: 14s
skills:
1. gravity (10s): increases the gravity in an area around her for 6 seconds, the center of gravity becoming Strophe herself. This forces flying enemies to the ground and slowly drags enemies towards her location. Enemies that fly by means of an updraft can't float up after gravity ends (unless they come into contact with another updraft). It doesn't affect the Vurrboss brothers.
2. topsy-turvy (12s): the 4 closest enemies with magic resistance have their resistance flipped for 5 seconds, so that instead of taking reduced damage from magic attacks, they take extra damage. The higher their magic resistance, the more additional damage they take.
