#105

Masson VS The Bleeding (back): Critical Hit (9x2=18+50=63+5=73 damage)

>Boomingham VS The Bleeding (front): Special Damage (Slice and Dice: Erdathcath, Punii, and Boomingham all recieve Bleeding 15)

Doesn't Frozen Saber stun on hits? So the special damage would be negated by the stun from the critical hit just before it?

#102: Very fun read roleplay-wise, and I'm not running all the calculations, but I think the PVP mechanics give a bit of an edge to heroes with damage over time weapons and healing, as I don't think those are affected by the division-by-7? Possibly I missed something and they actually are divided by 7, but maybe something to consider for an Arena re-work.

Also did Chauncey get a free hit for being hastened?

The Decamon Tournament is open to everyone, no matter if they are on a quest or not. If you want to know how, a wizard did it!

It will require some gold to buy cards during the Tournament, though, if you don't have some already.

Now, to start rolling some 1s...

Actually, there are alien invaders in the game already. You just have to travel deep into the Fields of Glory to encounter them.

Okay, bad news, FOG team, we are clearing out every last corner of that place.

The lowest level enemy in that group is 31. He's got well over 400 health too. Good luck.

I should be paying more attention doubly over. Thanks for the catch - that puts Aventine at a nice round 1 health, I believe.

[Flipz]

Personally, I don't know what those guys on 102 were thinking going on a Zepher Quest without at least twelve Phoenix Essences.

[Zepher]

I'm really really excited because I have literally no idea how this quest is going to end!!

[Myrddyn]

Chauncey Free Hits Aventine rather than Nerwen because he doesn't want to hit innocent-ish heroes?

Ah, sorry, Aventine party. I thought that would be mostly dissipated by Nerwen's shield. In case you forgot about it, I better remind you of Necromancer's job trait "Undead Sacrifice - The Necromancer can destroy one of their undead allies in or out of battle to restore health to themselves or one of the party members equal to the undead's level."

[Zepher]

Ah, sorry, again not thinking straight, it should go to Nerwen, I was just on auto-pilot. I'd love to have him hit Aventine because he's not targeting heroes, but mechanics are mechanics and we can't go messing with free hits or I'll really lose it. Not that I haven't already lost it. I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but running battles drives me crazy.

[StickFig]

Actually, that's just what happens when Nyx finds out XX is dead.

This actually makes me want XX to die even more, just to see the fireworks hahahaha.

[Flipz]

Stupid grammar, making things take way longer than they should to write.

Yeah, you may want to fix that. For a minute there I actually thought this town was called Towr...

[Kintobor]

"Never seen anything like it. Ugly as Hel, covered in warts and gristle, not a scrap of clothing either. And let me assure you, I come from a long line of touch-as-nails actors, we've been impaled, set on fire, stoned, and drowned by our critics and we Mandos keep coming back. You think I'm not in pain right now?"

The elf ripped of his face- no, a mask, to reveal a red headed woman in her early twenties underneath!

"Acting!"

Fixed that for you, WBD.

[Chromeknight]

Argh!

I'm sure we're at lynch or lose.

Matthias is townie, I am certain, Cop RuffPig told me before he was iced.

But the four remaining can't all be scum, one of them is just rogue.

Fairly sure Avertine is scum, he converted the SK, zelphie. And Purpearl is aligned with Avertine, especially discrediting RuffPig.

But Avertine has been after Chauncey. Does that mean he's the other townie or is it deep wifom to disguise the last town. Is Alexis playing Chauncey or he playing her? Or are they both scum and Purpearl is the one sucked in?

argh! I don't know who to vote for!

[Zepher]

:laugh:

It'a funny, because that's basically how I feel right now too! Only imagine you're playing five characters and they're all both scum and townie but they all believe they're townie and there's no team win.

[Flipz]

I'm honestly surprised neither Nerwen nor Matthias have attacked Purpearl for trying to kill Russel and Pigley--it's a no-win anyway, at this point the Aventine party can only do their best to save the other NPCs.

[Chromeknight]

Yes, but attacking Purpearl won't save RuffPig, since it doesn't interupt the undead. So the solution to Purpearl's 'attack' has to be diplomacy rather than force.

But I've imagined it. In detail.

[Flipz]

It might not interrupt the undead, but the "eye for eye" approach would force Purpearl to reconsider ordering the attack (and in any case the decision is up to Aventine).

Not to mention that "Roaring Rampage of Revenge" is a trope.

[Chromeknight]

But if it doesn't save RuffPig, the whacking can occur anytime. After all revenge has an optimum temperature of presentation.

[Flipz]

But can it? Once they get back to the Hall, any chance Nerwen or Matthias have of retribution vanishes, since she can easily hide in Eubric. Here, in the heat of battle, she has no escape, leaving her at their mercy if she herself shows no mercy.

Plus you could always use conditionals. "If Purpearl kills RuffPig, we kill her."

[Zepher]

Should I have people PM actions at this point?

[Chromeknight]

Given that, aside from denying her XP for the battle (which she won't get anyway), there isn't anything that can be permanently done to another player character. So any whacking is an RP event, which she can't hide from.

[K-Nut]

Should I have people PM actions at this point?

Nah. Takes out the suspense and excitement for the rest of us.

[Zepher]

I know, but as threats build on threats everyone keeps changing their actions and I'm afraid we're going to get to 100 conditionals and no round to actually run.

Though I'm kidding, of course. I'm equally terrified and ecstatic.

[Purpearljellyblob]

No hard feelings to anyone! Purpearl is just scrambling in a pile of scrambled eggs with broken egg shells in it.

[CMP]

The battle's going to end next round when PPJB posts "Purpearl attacks Chauncy, unless Russel has been revived" and Chrome posts "Nerwen revives Russel if Purpearl has attacked Chauncy".

Or something to that effect.
