Waterbrick Down Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Skrall watched as the dwarf advanced on the octopus. "Stigveladi, this ain't no time for stupid heroics. You've got one of those magic scrolls don't ya? If ya weaken the squid, Alexis won't have to worry so much about it swingin' out and freely hittin' folks later on." Edited July 30, 2013 by Waterbrick Down Quote
PsyKater Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) *doh* I guess I was still sleeping this morning. Amma looks around confused as she hears the Ogre shouting at her. She looks down on her Wand, remembering that it can't weaken anyone. She is ashamed on her stupid act and retreats to the back row, casting the Scroll of Weakening on Krakenling D after consuming her Kraken Fang. "Sorry, Skrall, I think I was a bit overwhelmed by the effects of this crown. I don't feel so short anymore when wearing it." OOC: Sooo... now I got my battle calculation table ready. The Krakenlings are the only ones that can deal Damage to Amma when fighting from back row, all others don't come through. The damage she deals is always the same (60/84) since all are Aquatic and she still has the Topaz. My initial thoughts are: Why weaken the Krakenling? It won't prevent a free hit (Scroll) and it won't make it easier to defeat, it'll just deal less damage. But it would deal even less damage if Amma was attacking/casting. I just want to understand the strategy... Edited July 30, 2013 by PsyKater Quote
Masked Builder Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 "As you wish Skrall." Alexis swings her fan at Krakenling B from the back row. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 "As you say Skrall" Action 1 - Hoke consumes a Kraken Fang Action 2 - Topaz, Nessie, Back Row. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 "Those things are squirtin' a blindin' ink of some sort and I'd rather less folks had the chance of bein' affected by it, Stigveladi." Revised Battle Order: Skrall Namyrra Stigveladi Hoke Alexis Nur Skrall Namyrra Stigveladi Hoke Nur Quote
PsyKater Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 "I understand where you're coming from, Skrall. But wouldn't it be more effective to try to seal it then?" Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 "Sealin' it might stop it from thrashin' with its tentacles, but I don't think it'll stop the blindin' ink." Quote
PsyKater Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 "But weakening won't do it as well, right? As I said I will follow your plan, but I want to make sure that I understand right: You prefer a free hit this round (Level 40/20) and want it to deal less damage from then on, rather than sealing while preventing the free hit? Well, while saying it loud, it doesn't sound as bad as I thought." Amma shrugs while getting the Scroll out of her bag. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 OoC: Weakening should prevent Alexis from taking as much damage this round from the free hit, which would blind anyone else besides Hoke. I'd rather have as few people possibly blinded as possible, I can take out each of the octopus in a single hit, but we've got to cover our bases as far as free hits are concerned. "Wait a second, we just need to keep the blimy calamari busy don't we. New plan Stigveladi, throw a bone at that octopus instead, would ya?" Quote
PsyKater Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Stigveladi sighs when hearing the new order. She slowly puts the Scroll back in her bag and looks for the bone, while she mumbles to herself. "You know that it wouldn't matter if I was blinded? Well, whatever. I even have a full skeleton of bones, which would do this job even better. But our fine leader knows better." Stigveladi finally finds a bone and prepares to throw it as hard as possible in the direction of the Krakenling D. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 "Keep yer chin up. We'll fix these critters right up in no time, just got to figure out a fun way of doin' it." Skrall smiled. Quote

They try to swarm the heroes, but even the tougher enemies are no match for Skrall's incredible aim and power. However, the odds stack against the heroes as an Even Bigger Fish consumes the first, and Nessie submerges beneath the surface leaving everyone questioning whether she was there at all.

Waterbrick Down Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 OoC: Stigveladi still used her Kraken Fang so she should be reinforced and hastened. "Remedies if ya got 'em folks." Skrall consumed a remedy from back row and as his clouded vision was restored he sighted in on Krakenling C from the back row. "Mages, yer on shark duty. Namyrra take one of your remedies and go for that last Big Fish © with yer wood magic, remember to stay back though. Stigveladi go for that really big one, perhaps with that sealin' wishin' wand of yers. Hoke, ya think ya can actually hit that thing this time?"

I see what they can do, and they may prove to be the most dangerous." Action 1 - Consume Remedy Action 2 - Topaz, Nessie, Back Row. Quote
PsyKater Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 OoC: Stigveladi still used her Kraken Fang so she should be reinforced and hastened. ^this And does the Even Bigger Fish has another Special or is there nothing happening when rolling SD or does it get replaced with an "even more bigger fish"? Quote
JimBee Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 ^this And does the Even Bigger Fish has another Special or is there nothing happening when rolling SD or does it get replaced with an "even more bigger fish"? There's always a bigger fish. Amma's stats updated. Also, because confused affects counterstriking, Hoke deals no damage to Skrall instead of the Krakenling. Quote
Jebediahs Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Nur interrupted his spell casting to chuckle at Hoke's response to their comrades' "banter". Taking time to muse caused him to lose sight of the...wasn't there another creature? Thankfully, Skrall was seasoned enough to recognize the confused effect. Nur used a remedy from the back row to clear his mind. He attempted to cast a lightning spell at Bigger Fish A from the back row. EDIT::> OoC: Party vs. Party attacks aren't affected by row. Hoke should hit Skrall for the full 27 - SP. Edited July 31, 2013 by Jebediahs Quote
PsyKater Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Stigveladi darts an angry glance at Hoke and Nur. "You better concentrate!" Then she uses a remedy and attacks the Even Bigger Fish with her Wishing Wand from the back row and wishes to seal him. Quote
