"Not too sure at present. We were on our way to Shelbric, but with the goods that we bought from you, I'm not sure if we need to continue on our way. I have been looking for a sapphire for some time, you know."

I turn to Bob and whisper so that Adam can't hear. "You say you have a quarrel to settle with a certain Dr. Trice, eh? I do a lot of travelling, as I'm sort of a wandering hermit, so there's a chance, albeit a very small one, that I may run into him on one of my travels. Can you describe his appearance for me? Furthermore, what would you give if I could bring him to you? You know, there's always more motivation for finding a criminal if one knows what the reward will be first."

Almite Bob whispers in respond to the monk.

"Erm... well... its been a long time since I saw that cursed alchemist. Last time I saw him, he had an annoying large and feathered hat, a beard, and he always wore a glove over his left hand. You'd be frightened to know why he wears that glove... As for a reward, my mythril is already gone, so perhaps I merge a couple gems with a weapon for you for free, which is a more difficult technique that not every magician has mastered."

[Pyrovisionary]

Sarge see's the two conspiring and walks over. "Ah, yes, there is a tiny chance that we may meet your enemy.. And if we do... I'll split 50:50 with you pretzel? Also, What does the staff you spoke of actually... DO?"

[Flare]

Bob seems a bit disconcerted by the fact that everyone is coming over to whisper with him. In fact, Grabian had already drunk an eavesdropping potion increasing his auditory perception, and Albert had snuck up quite unsneakily-like behind Bob. Even Bob's werewolf and the skeleton elf had quietly inched closer.

"Leave me alone, will you! I have no more to say to you. Get lost."

[Pyrovisionary]

Sarge takes a step back, then cups his hands around his mouth, he then says to Bob "Staff; Wassit do? "

Everyone choose your actions! Party leader please provide a battle order, and also choose Adam's planned attack.

Edited December 22, 2012 by Flare

[Palathadric]

"Sarge! What are you trying to do? Seriously! Okay, everyone, I suggest that we leave the skeleton untargetted. He will only end up healing the others, and either my or Adam's sheild can easily eat up the free hit from him. I suggest Sarge takes on Almite Bob, since he's the one who got us into this mess in the first place. But because I'm nice, I'll forgive him this time around. Besides, he's new. Erdy, what do you think we should do? You could target Almite Bob, but it would be sad if you were sealed, so I don't know if you want to risk it. Otherwise, Adam could. I don't know if we should try our hardest to keep Albert in the fight or not. If we want to, then you should probably target him, but if not we can leave him for Sarge or myself. An important thing to remember though is that once Adam starts fighting one person, he seems to have a hard time changing targets, so...

[Pyrovisionary]

"Stressy!" Sarge draws his knives. "I'll take bob... Two knives, double damage. Abnd neither of you want to be sealed eh?" I use my double damage (Dual strike) On Bob from the front row.

[Palathadric]

Ummm...is that how Sandy said it works. I thought it only deals double damage when there's only one enemy to target. My connection takes forever to load the first page of the R&D topic though, so I'll let someone else look it up.

"In case you didn't realize, he'd kill you with one strike!" "Now follow your leader. Erdy, on your word. Ready when you are. If you don't count the demon, who is unnecessary to target until we take out the others, then we outnumber them, so let's get this over with. I would suggest either you or Adam take on Bob. Should I go for the Wolfgang man?"

[The_Customizer]

Four of them versus four of us? We can take them, bring it on!

I may be wrong, but it seems that only a spell or a Holy Bomb can take out the Skeleton. Therefore Monk you would probably do best at taking out the Skeleton, unless anyone can damage him, in which case Sarge should take him out.

Battle Order

_______________________________

Erdathcath attacks Almite Bob

Monk

Adam attacks Albert the Insane

Sarge

[Palathadric]

Erdy, I don't think there's any need for us to attack the skeleton until the others are knocked out. He won't be able to pierce Adam's shield or my armour. Put Adam or myself first in the Battle Order. Also, I would advise that you target Albert. Because I don't know if we want to risk activating his special. If you think Adam's fine taking him, then let me suggest:

Adam: Wolfgang

Sarge: Albert the Insane (Normally I would have put them targetting the opposite enemies, but Sarge doesn't have the strength to survive the Wolfgang's blow.

Erdy: Almite Bob

Pretzel: Heal Erdy or Adam if under 20 hp or Sarge if under 10. Otherwise, attack Wolfgang from the front row.

What do you think? It seems to be a good idea to have you and I or at least one of us at the end of the battle order in case we heal everyone. Also, if Adam is in the front, he may encourage us all with his rallying war cry.

[The_Customizer]

It seems that may be a better idea than my own Monk. Let us try it, and see how it goes.

Battle Order

Adam attacks Wolfgang

Sarge

Erdathcath attacks Almite Bob

Pretzel

[Flare]

I may be wrong, but it seems that only a spell or a Holy Bomb can take out the Skeleton. Therefore Monk you would probably do best at taking out the Skeleton, unless anyone can damage him, in which case Sarge should take him out.

Is it just me or does Pretzel have a light-elemental weapon?

Battle Round One:

Adam vs. Wolfgang - Defended Counter

Sarge vs. Albert the Insane - Miss

Erdy vs. Almite Bob - Hit / Hit

Pretzel vs. Wolfgang - Hit

Free Hit:

Elfie the Skeleton on Adam - (3-7=0, sorry about previous mistake) 0 damage

Adam is attacked by the werewolf and receives 9 damage, but returns with an equal blow of 9 damage to the werewolf. Even though Sarge has two scissors, with both he misses the insane Albert. Erdy lands a blow of 28 damage to Bob. Afterwards Pretzel also lands a blow to Wolfgang, damaging him with 23 damage. Adam isn't damaged by Elfie the Skeleton.

Edited December 24, 2012 by Flare

[Palathadric]

Ummm...Adam's shield should protect him from the damage inflicted by the skeleton, so he should be at 31/40 health. Since none of us took an incredible amount of damage, you can autoplay.

"Repeat actions, all!"

"I must say, I relish smacking that toothy beast around. Die, villian, die!"

[The_Customizer]

That went pretty well, comparatively speaking. Let us repeat the attack!

Auto-roll until someone is at at least 1/2 health.

[Pyrovisionary]

Do it again!!!

Battle Round Two:

Adam vs. Wolfgang - Special Damage

Sarge vs. Albert the Insane - Special: Mug

Erdy vs. Almite Bob - Shield: Roots of Life / Critical Hit

Pretzel vs. Wolfgang - Damage

Free Hit:

Elfie the Skeleton on Adam - (3-7=0, sorry about previous mistake) 0 damage

Adam is blinded by the setting sun, and Wolfgang sinks his rabid jaws into Adam. Adam cries out as he loses 9 health and is poisoned. Sarge viciously and profitably snips at Albert, hitting him with a heavy blow 98 damage and at the same time reaping 98 gold. Erdy heals Adam to full health (all the other party members are already in ace shape) and also heals him of his poisoned wound. Pretzel is hit in the head by the werewolf and is damaged with 11 damage.

Adam feeling a little woozy still, is clawed at by the werewolf and receives 9 damage. Again, Sarge viciously and profitably snips at Albert, hitting him with a heavy blow 98 damage and simultaneously earning 98 gold. The powerful blow of Sarge's knocks Albert out of the battle, leaving only 3 enemies left in the battle. Erdy hits Almite Bob in the stomach with a hit of 38 damage. Pretzel knocks the werewolf in the face with 23 damage.

[Palathadric]

Nice slice, Sarge. At least you made up for getting us into this mess...somewhat. In my opinion it doesn't make sense for you to go against the Wolfgang. In any case, you have to fight from the back row, so go for Almite Bob. Back Row, remember. Otherwise, keep battle order and targets the same.

Battle Order:

Adam: Wolfgang (Front Row)

Sarge: Almite Bob (Back Row)

Erdy: Almite Bob (Back Row)

Pretzel: Heal himself (I don't think Row matters), unless already at full health in which case I target Wolfgang from the front row.

Not much has changed since last round, so I'm sure Erdy will agree to this.

Does the Wolfgang's special take row into account? What about SP?

[Flare]

Does the Wolfgang's special take row into account? What about SP?

It takes SP into account, but not row.

[The_Customizer]

Monk, I believe you are on the right track, though perhaps now that there is only 3, we should focus more on Almite Bob, so as to take him out much quicker, or we could make it easier and have 1 person attacking Almite Bob, and everyone else attacking Wolfgang, removing another enemy from the battle, and focusing all our attacks on Almite Bob.

Battle Order

Adam attacks Wolfgang

Sarge

Erdathcath attacks Almite Bob

Monk.

[Pyrovisionary]

OOC: I could attack the skeleton without targeting it (using dual strike) but I'd have to attack the wolfgang to do it damage. Maybe if I had sp...

[Palathadric]

"Sarge would be knocked out if he attacks the Wolfgang no matter what row he attacks from, if he activates his special. I don't think it would be a good idea for both of us to attack Almite Bob because it's unnecessary to risk both of us getting sealed. I don't think we really need to worry about trying to take out the enemies as quickly as possible, for now. For this round, anyway, I'll be healing myself. Or instead of you attacking Almite, you can leave him to Sarge for now and we can attempt to finish off the Wolfgang. Adam is stuck attacking the Wolfgang anyway until we can bring him down.

Sarge, attack Almite Bob from the back row. It's the safest thing for you to do."

Hey all, just so you know, the boss has decided to actually grant us vacation for this Christmas period and maybe even a bit beyond. Of course, the family has everything already planned out for me.

Anyway, I may not have any internet connection (I'm not sure about this, but just to be safe I want to let you know), so I may be gone for up to a week or so. I'll try my best to get on if I can, but for now I'll let Erdy control my actions. I think this battle is also sufficiently "in-hand" for us to not need to worry about putting ourselves in dangerous situations. We can leave the skelly until the other enemies are all dead and Pretzel will be on hand to heal anyone if they need it or to attack if needed.

Sorry about this.

"When the time comes to fight the skeleton (once the other two are defeated), you can just leave me to it. None of your attacks will deal any damage to it, and there's no need for Erdy to waste her strength attempting to heal it. He will never be able to smash through my tricorne anyway, so I'd be perfectly safe and would be able to chip away at him quickly enough, hopefully."

I myself will be gone almost all day tomorrow, I might pop-in every once in a while, but besides that, I wont be active, so it would probably be best to just pause the battle for the 26th.

Agreed, we should leave the skeleton alone for now, Monk can easily deal with it at the end.
