Party Leader, choose the order of action. Everyone, choose your action and target.

[Scubacarrot]

Sandy, if in one attack we kill Sycamore with an attack that hits multiple enemies, will Shaun die?

"Mercutio's balls, why can't I hit anything... The gold is nice though. Good job Scaly, now we have to get creative... Right, we have to make sure we kill the witch before we do anything else, here's what I propose, we have everyone that will never hit multiple enemies at once, attack the witch."

Guts uses Nostrum and Smelling Salts on Namyrra, then uses Phoenix Essence on William. All from the back row.

Proposed Battle order + Actions.

Guts uses two consumables on Namyrra, and phoenix essence on William

Namyrra attacks Sycamore twice.

Mizuki attacks Sycamore.

Daggerfall attacks Sycamore.

Cinna attacks Sycamore.

Let's hope she's dead by then, and then other people attack other stuff. Guts can take some free hits if we are careful to leave the least hard hitting.

Sandy, if in one attack we kill Sycamore with an attack that hits multiple enemies, will Shaun die?

QM Note: Yes, since he will not have had the chance to flee.

[Fred Fred Burger]

Chrie Attacks

Sycamore Ziegfried

from the

front row.

[Scubacarrot]

Chrie Attacks

Sycamore Ziegfried

from the

front row.

Actually, I think you won't be able to hit her, could you perhaps attack one of the demons? Or throw a bone at Mephisto?

Edited October 30, 2012 by Scubacarrot

[-obelix-]

OOC: Maybe someone from us can option to shelter Shaun, like Toothwick protected Skuld? I will wait with posting action until we decide what to do, since Thalion has a chance to kill Shaun...

[JimBee]

As he saw Chrisopher readying a bone to distract Mephisto (yes, you should do this, FredFred), Hybros switched his attack to Sycamore, swinging Zoot's Reaper at her from the front row.

[Quarryman]

"Hah! Take that you bitch!"

Namyrra prepares for two Light spells at Sycamore from the back row

(OoC: I can't do my two actions in a row though, if I manage to get two shield rolls I'll kill Shaun, and various other enemies, so my second turn must be after everyone else who can't hit all enemies has acted.)

[Tachyon]

Mizuki throws her Sylph Shuriken at Sycamore from the Back Row and then Picks it up.

[Darkdragon]

Cinna attacks the Lich with lightning from the back row.

Skuld will heal Mizuki from the back row.

[Professor Flitwick]

Thothwick continues to protect Sküld.

"You can cease fretting, my dear, the termination of this skirmish is almost nigh."

[JimBee]

OOC: Shouldn't Mizuki have been healed by Nerwen's miracle?

[Vash the Stampede]

Results of Round Three of the Forsaken Temple Battle:

Erik vs. Scorched Skeleton - Special Damage (Skull Bash - Erik: 19 health+1 SP-4 dmg=16 health+stunned; Skeleton: stunned)

> Dreyrugr vs. Skeleton - Special Damage (Dreyrugr: no effect)

I believe you mixed up the effects for skeleton and Scorched skeleton. I should be the one stunned while Erik should have had nothing happen to him.

Dreyrugr does nothing as he waits to recover from a head bash from a skeleton.

[Flare]

Benji attacks Sycamore twice from the back row with his crossbow.

"I guess I should stop stealing gold and start killing... sorry "

[Myrddyn]

"So what do you guys want me to do? Risk killing Shaun, or use a potion?"

[Scubacarrot]

"Benji, Hybros, how about you attack something else."

[Chromeknight]

I think the plan of the raider is sound, but perhaps others should speak up before we work out an order of attack. And you rogues should stop messing about picking up gold and do some damage.

Without the Pheles rod, we need to be careful. No bombs! No spell bursts (not that you mages can control that!)

[Myrddyn]

"Alright, I'll take the Revenant Nobility from the front with my Titanic Axe, then."

[Scubacarrot]

Benji, Hybros and Daggerfall still need to change their action.

[-obelix-]

Thalion attacks Spectre with Fire spell from the back row.

OOC: Since Pheles Rod is still here I have changed my action.

[Sandy]

OOC: Shouldn't Mizuki have been healed by Nerwen's miracle?

I believe you mixed up the effects for skeleton and Scorched skeleton. I should be the one stunned while Erik should have had nothing happen to him.

QM Note: Fixed and fixed.

[Darkdragon]

Skuld will heal Skeleton from the back row.

[Scubacarrot]

"I will keep the Scorched Skeleton busy until you deal with the necromancer, I cant risk harming the boy with magic..."

Thalion attacks Scorched Skeleton with Shiny Dagger, from the back row.

OOC: If anyone has a better suggestion, I will change the action for this round.

If you roll a shield, you will do magic damage anyway, so you might as well use your fire attack on the skeleton.

[Sandy]

QM Note: Flipz noticed a big mistake I made: as a mechanic enemy, the Pheles Rod is immune to Wind, so Sarick's Magic Burst did not take it out after all. The Pheles Rod is still in the battle, and the results have been fixed accordingly.
