If I've been keeping track of it correctly Docus should have 17 MP, Fie 23, and Caspin 7.

Edit 2: Now 14, 20, and 7, respectively.

P.S. Gem-Post what you want to do. In the thread. For the roleplays. Not in the thread for the discussions.

I miss stuff in discussion threads sometimes, or don't miss it but forget it because I don't check those when I'm making RP updates. I've half a mind to make you waste your round running in circles for my inconvenience.

You can fluff your movement however you like.

Working on update now, you're not around. I will simply leave Caspin's movement ambiguous and you can fluff him cartwheeling into battle, or whatever, before posting your attack next round.

The latter. Otherwise it just gets stupid. I realize that buffs mimic slightly, but some sacrifices must be made for being on the internet instead of sitting around a table.

Hell, if you somehow know what they'll be doing ahead of time, you can post it before them, for all I care.

Edit: Newest map update for Group 1



Edit 2: I didn't expect, at all, for you guys to both lose your staves in one round like that. Getting a 6 and a 3, respectively on the 1-100 generator I was using.

However, I like to think it was the world reacting to Spell-ing Bee.

Can Argath still make an action this round? Like, I know you said he couldn't move, but what about attacking or drinking a potion?

He can do instant actions.

So no.

Charge is round 8's standard action in moving, and round 9's standard action in attacking. Good damage, though!

Charge and jump will both seem a little more lackluster damage wise as you start upgrading your weapon, though. It only moves you up one damage step, which, right now, for you is ~1.5x your total damage, 'cause you're effectively doubling your strength. But once you have a strx2 weapon, it'll only be ~1.25x damage, as you'll only be, effectively, multiplying your strength by 1.5x, etc. etc.

[Dracorion]

I, on the other hand, am dissappointed.

It was just one short of a critical hit.

[Overcast]

Yeah I had to stand watch from 2 in the morning to...right now. Also just noticed the new discussion, so blah blah I'll get on a post when I'm aware of my mind again.

Alright, so, Group 1!

This turn, we need to kill the two Virulent Zombies (before they finish casting), and the one Wire left over from the Data Room. I need to heal myself so I can survive a single bad evade roll, and it would be a good idea to heal Kole too (though he may not survive two bad rolls, even at full Health). Elsa, luckily for her, has a high enough Arm and HP score to survive several bad rolls here. Plus she can pop an Elixir if things get tight, so I'm not too worried about getting her healed up.

Priority - High:
1) Kill Wire D (1 HP, Potentially High Evade) - Bello's probably the best choice.
2) Kill Virulent Zombie A (16/63) - Elsa has the highest chance to kill him. Still, it might be better to use the Scythe's Knockback ability, to be safe. Chances of stopping its cast otherwise aren't high enough for my liking. Or I could have forgotten about Phil's Strength song - the extra three points means Elsa can deal 14 damage at minimum, there's a fair chance that she'll be able to kill this Zombie with an attack. Up to Mauve to decide how to handle the risk.
3) Kill Virulent Zombie B (11/63) - Kole should probably try this one, if he doesn't roll a critical failure on a two-hand attack, he'll kill it.

Priority - Lower:
1) Heal Arden (14/20, 16 HP Required to survive 1 Hit) - Arden (via Cure), Kole, Bello, Elsa (via Potion).
2) Heal Kole (17/23, can survive 1 Hit, Heal to Full to be safe) - Arden (via Cure), Kole, Bello, Elsa (via Potion).

Now, I should cast Cure this turn. Will hold back on my post until I see the rest of your actions to select a target, in case I need to try and kill one of the remaining enemies though.

If I don't use Cure this turn, we'll have to resort to Potions to get Kole and Arden (admittedly, if Arden doesn't make it to the elevator, only she dies, not a Tarut, so you can judge which of the two is a higher priority yourself) up to speed if we want to run before our new friend, the Sword Zombie, gets too many attacks in. Slow Heals are a bit obsolete right now, you know?

Riin? Sorry, but Jhennek's only able to pull Slow Actions effectively at the moment. We kinda need some really fast Damage Spikes right now, and her basic attacks may miss the Wire (or a zombie) if she tries them. It might be best for her to cast a Fire Elemental Spikes spell on herself, or to try something creative (I'll leave it to you to try and come up with something) in the meantime. If Bello switches to Performance of Lightning, I should note, the highest roll possible with her Thunder spell will strike for 63 Damage exactly, it may be enough to kill the Sword Zombie if it has 0 M.Arm.

Oh and have fun everyone!

I'll wait on your actions this round - ain't like you need to listen to me here.

So is Bello still playing the strength song, and does it affect Elsa since she showed up after he started playing it?

[phil_]

He's still playing it, though he'll likely start playing the reversed Strength song or the Lightening song next round, depending on how things go and personal whim. Since she's within short range...

Wait a sec. "Swift/Logical/Soulful/Herculean/Battlefield Etude: Now affects full group instead of single target?" Shouldn't everyone have been getting it since Bello started then? I mean, that doesn't make sense and what Krylo presumably meant was "Now affects everyone in ear-shot," but RaW, man.

[Dracorion]

Everyone's HP is reduced to the same number as Caspin's CHA rating because fuck that was a terrible pun.

You may notice there were three, and now are 2 groups!

But yes, Elsa is being affected now.
