Flipz Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 OOC: Magic Dauntlet (left) should be Bleeding, Arthur isn't Hexed, and the Puppetstring should be gone. Also, am I right in understanding that Erdy and Grimwald get a 50% chance to dodge the Hexing even if they roll Special Damage? As Arthur snaps back to reality, he takes a moment to get his bearings. He looks to Grimwald, surprised and grateful. "You saved me. ...Thank you." Arthur's focus returns to the battle at hand. "Right, I want that claw gone, but since it's Counterstriking and we can't Blind it, I'll have to kill it myself. Master Grimwald, do you think you could Frail it for me? Go ahead and move on to the Magic Dauntlet on the left once you've got this one taken care of. Minoid, right now it's better if you don't do anything unless the Left Magic Dauntlet is under 50 HP but not weak enough that the poison will kill it (in which case, try to finish it off), or unless it manages to Hex Erdy, in which case attack the Puppetstring." Arthur throws his Duplovian Swift Halberd at the Claw Dauntlet from the Back Row. If successful, he follows up with a whip of his tentacles (Zoot's Rebel); otherwise, he tries again. If in either scenario Erdy is Hexed, his second attack will then go against the Puppetstring with Zoot's Rebel from the Back. (For clarity, if the Left Dauntlet is under 50 HP AND Erdy gets Hexed, priority goes to attacking the Puppetstring.) Battle Order: Grimwald Grimwald Arthur Arthur Erdathcath Erdathcath Minoid Quote
LordoftheNoobs Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 "Don't mention it. It's just good to have you back... particularly back on our side! " Grimwald tries to Frail the Claw until successful, after which he does the same to the Left Dauntlet. Quote

Grimwald uses the last drop of his ether to render a Dauntlet weak, following up with some fairly potent blows of his own. Arthur and Erdathcath sweep the rest - the mechanical appendages hit the floor one by one, and promplty begin to hiss and spew smoke. They soon explode, the destructive blast once again weakening the barricade... but not the party! The Claw Dauntlet recites one last mantra before it detonates, sending metallic shrapmel hurtling in every direction. "Must... protect.. Nevermore! Must... protect... the Zi-" Before it can finish, the Claw Dauntlet explodes, destorying the intruder excluder one and for all.

STATISTIC: Ipredit a 99.67457767676% chance we have safe passage out of the mine if we were to turn back. BEGINNING DEMOLITION..." The Minoid stabs the heavy duty door as the party begins to distribute their winnings. He switches hands, an explosive gel slithering out of his other arm. In a mere 30 seconds, it explodes, destroying the door and opening the way forward. The Minoid looks into the passageway he created, and seems almost hesitant to share what he saw. "...STATEMENT: I predict a high probability that you will want to observe what lays beyond this door..." The party takes a peek inside, and looks down. An old, weathered staircase semed to go down forever, each step getting smaller and smaller than the last. At the end of the gargantuan staircase was a bridge, made of cobbled stone and vicious spikes. But it was niether the stores or the bridge that distrubed the heroes... it was what they led to. A large fortress, tucked thousands of feet below the surface. The building emitted an ominous aura, a cold wind pouring out of its every window. A chill runs down the heroes' spines...

Flipz Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 OOC: . Arthur frowns. "Minoid, are you sure you're in full working order? You really should know who I'm talking about, despite your insistence on playing the pronoun game. We just had a dramatic reveal of the name of The Regret (also known as the White Devil), the creator of the Oculoids, not five minutes ago." Quote
Endgame Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 "I am incapable on distinguishing people through pronouns.

Of these mysteries, it is almost certainty that the first three are related. However, if the last mystery - why the island is comprised of such varied minerals, crystals, and rocks - is uncertain.

LordoftheNoobs Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 "Well, each of those Occuloids we fought had a different gem on their, uh, person... maybe the large number of different minerals has something to do with them as well, or vice-versa." Quote
The_Customizer Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 "Perhaps this is the breeding ground for the Oculoids? All the odd minerals is what is used to create the Oculoids, once the miners started to take them out of the ground the Regret sent up a beast to scare them away." Quote
Endgame Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 "STATEMENT: Both arguments are relatively sound, but they have one common, fatal flaw: QUERY: wHY NOW? The mining operation has been going on for an extended period of time. Even after the entry to this place was discovered, no immediate action was taken by the sinsiter party at play here. STATEMENT: I can think of no radical explanation. We only have partial answers to all of these... Shall we proceed to the fort, now?" Quote
