Zepher Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 Matthias looks from one man to the other, wondering what awful things will happen. When 'XX' and the two animals head to opposite sides of the field, the gnome decides to ask a last desperate question. "I don't suppose there's any chance we could all band together and fight the demon instead?" "This is not a demon you can fight." He sighs. "Besides, we cannot back out now. We made a choice years ago, and while we did not know you'd be involved... we must face the consequences. We reaped the reward, so we must finish it. One of us will die today, it is just a question of who." Zelphie says something from her tree, but no one can make it out. There are several ways PvP has been handled. Can we have an indication of which method you'll be using. Not that it will affect RP/character decisions, but just so there are no surprises or thoughts that things are rigged (not that you would but to avoid even that impression). Also, will Avertine's death count as quest failure? Again, not that failing a quest is always to be avoided, but it should be clear and a deliberate choice. OoC: Of course, sorry! That's my mistake, I should have outlined that immediately. For PvP all damage will be divided by 7. And yes, Aventine dying will count as a quest failure. Alexis stands and thinks, as her party members take sides. Her mind is quickly made up. "Normally I would finish the job; but you forced my friends to kill a friend of mine. I hate that you mentioned Althior last night, but I'm siding with you Chauncey." Alexis moves beside Chauncey. "I did nothing of the sort. You were not forced to kill Sam and Keith. I hired them, you killed them. Do not blame me for that. That is your fault and your fault alone." "I asked Zelphie to deal with them. I did not tell her to have you kill them. I asked only that she let them know that I would not tolerate future grave robbing." He glances up at her in the tree. "She apparently took that to mean that I wished them to be unable to rob graves in the future. She and I will have a talk about that later." Quote

StickFig Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Matthias seems very small indeed as he looks from one group to the other, Chauncey to Calmcacil, Fenral to Aventine, Ruffers to Berthadhiell. Finally making up his mind, he hands the Peashooter to 'XX'. "My debt to you is paid," he says to the bombmaker, and he stands off to the side. Edited October 26, 2014 by StickFig Quote
Zepher Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 OoC: Please let me know if anything is blatantly wrong in this post. I hate posting battles. Zelphie flutters down to stand besides Chauncey. She stares fixedly at Matthias for a few seconds, but then in a flash of light she has a staff in her hand. "Do not think that standing aside makes you strong, meek Matthias. It makes you weakest of all. It is the greatest evil to see the world and let it continue unaided. It is our duty to assist when we can." The smell of brimstone fills the air, and clouds crowd the sky. There is a shocking clap of thunder and lighting strikes a nearby tree. And then there is some laughter, and the sky returns to its normal state and the air is sweet once more. Standing between the two wizards is a demon... or a god. Depending on what you think of gods and demons and myths. "I hope I wasn't holding anything up!" cackles the strange figure. "Hello all, I'm the Master of Regret- not to be confused with that fool in the north. I'm an Old God. What does that mean? I don't know! You tell me. Chauncey and Aventine and Alexis already know me, but hello to the rest of you. I know who you are, of course. That's the nice part of being a god. A demigod. A demon. Whatever you want to call me, semantics have never really meant much to anything. For example, did you know that Alexis is part of the Court of Demons?! But no one ever really talks about that! I'm not even sure if anyone remembers what that is." "So, are we all ready?" The Master of Regret turns to both of the wizards. "I'm shocked that you're both here. You'd be surprised how many people agree to sell their souls and then get cold feet when the time comes. Oh, look, there's one right there." He points to Matthias. "And another few there," he points to Alexis and the animals. "Of course, I'm not sure that it's a smart deal to begin with- right, Nerwen? That little girl elf next to you may be bonkers, but I know you're not going to be feeling too dandy when morning comes, but it happens, right? But what do I know?" "I'm ready to finish this." Chauncey bows deeply to the Master of Regret. "It is a pleasure to see you again. I have, since our last meeting, come to greatly respect the Old Gods." "Charming. Then you won't mind dying at one of our feet." A hand reaches out of the ground and lunges for Chauncey. The decaying body follows. Chauncey fires a blast of light at the body, and it is gone. He snaps his fingers, and strange robed glowing figures appear. All around the heroes bodies rise from the ground. Aventine's eyes glow and a cruel smile, unfamiliar to the heroes, appears on his lips. Chauncey likewise smiles with a deep determination, malice even. He draws his hands into fists. "I won't be dying today." "We'll see about that."

Zepher Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 The way I've done it in the past is that everyone submits actions so I can run both things, just back to back. Quote
StickFig Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Matthias waits until Zelphie turns away, then makes a rude face. Look at me, I'm a big strong fairy and you're a weak little gnome, he mouths sarcastically. Momentarily tempted to shoot the androgynous ex-hero in the back, he realizes he no longer has a weapon, so he joins Aventine's party, saying to 'XX' as meekly as only a gnome could, "Would you pass that Peashooter over here?"

Chromeknight Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I am sorry Alexis. Clearly you are bound by other oaths. Nerwen v. Chauncey - mourning star Do summons get a free hit if untargetted? The training room page is unclear as it is written for players vs. enemies. Since they don't prevent free hits from enemies, I'd think they don't cause them either? But I thought I'd check... Quote
Zepher Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 OoC: I am going to wait for Masked's action, but clarify some things before then! I'd argue that both undead and summons will not deal free hits, but I am willing to hear a counter-arguement. ALSO, since we have yet to run a round, I will run something by you guys. I would really like to multiply all healths by 10 as opposed to dividing damage by 7. I've looked at 104 again and think it's the better way to handle things, personally - but it DOES hurt people with SP (in that, in my opinion, it HANDLES SP better, but technically taking away an advantage, even an unfair one, is taking away an advantage). I think it more accurately accounts for poisoned and bleeding as well. That being said, I told you all I would be dividing by 7, so it is UP TO YOU. I would prefer to do it with the multiply by 10 method, but I won't force it on you. Quote

Zepher Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 OoC: I will run the round this evening but would really like to hear your thoughts on the multiplying v. dividing first. I'm sorry, I know it's extremely unusual to have input on this sort at this point, but I really don't want to change anything without your consent. Quote
Chromeknight Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) As the one with the highest SP, I'm for divide 7. Also, it's what you said, so thanks for asking before possibly changing : Edit: removed 'cause of concurrent posting! Edited October 27, 2014 by Chromeknight Quote
Zepher Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 OoC: The divide by 7 method certainly favors people with SP, I don't deny that. I think it unfairly favors them, personally. Significantly soa ctually. It essentially multiplies their SP by 7. But if you'd rather the perk instead of a fair battle, I guess I have to honor that. Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 OOC: Hey look I am. Battle Order: Alexis vs. Undead Pirate Zelphie vs. Aventine Minions vs. Aventine Ruffers vs. Undead Lord Quote
StickFig Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I prefer the multiply by ten method personally. Quote
Chromeknight Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 It depends where the division step is. Is it (Damage- SP)/7. Eg. Alexis hits Nerwen for 86. (86-16)/7=10 damage Or Damage/7-SP eg. Alexis hits Nerwen for 86. (86/7)-16=0 damage I can see the latter is blatantly unfair, but the former seems to work? Quote
Zepher Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Hm, you're smarter than me! That solves the issue I was seeing - and let me also state I'm not trying to rig the battle either way, I just foresaw a problem on that front, not even in this specific situation but using it as a technique in general. I actually think that works against people with 1 or 2 SP, though, since damage is rounded up. But what the hay, we got to get this started. I'll do it better next time, hopefully, by simply starting with the multiplier for health. I'm sorry for all the OoC. I know it's not particularly fun, but I thank you for baring with it. I think it will result in a better battle. Masked, I don't fully understand why you're attacking the Undead as they cannot be killed and don't have free hits. I won't change your action for the round, but Russel would not attack someone he cannot put down. Also, please post rows for the NPCs. They will pick their own for now, but I'd really prefer if you did it. ONE FINAL NOTE: For free hits, the hero will use the last weapon used. For example, in this round since Russel and Pigley act with Crabspirator, they deal their free hit with it as well. Round One Wizard's Duel Undead Pirate v. Zelphie - ([10/7]=2 Damage, -1 ether) Undead Peasant v. Zelphie - (20/7=3 Damage, -1 ether) Undead Paladin v. Zelphie - (45/7=5 Damage, -1 ether) Undead Pirate v.

Purpearl - Shield (([16*3]+21)/7/2=5 Damage, Purpearl Blinded for 3 rounds) All heroes healed by 3 The battle erupts. The Undead converge on Zelphie, who beats them back, her glasses resting peacefully on her nose as the rest of her body is torn into. She makes no noise or complaint as blood starts to leak freely. One of Chauncey's summons walks forward, and just as the heroes attempt to turn on it, it explodes! Darkness billows forth, up noses, down throats, blocking vision for a few brief seconds. XX fires a wildly shot as his vision is obscured. Matthias strides forward, prepared to enter the fray. Russel and Pigley neatly avoid attacking Nerwen or Matthias, but are less afraid to deal some decisive blows to XX and Purpearl. As the fairy takes to the skies Aventine fires at her, bringing her crashing back down to the ground.

But if you did, please point me in the right direction! You and Alexis I want to be particularly careful with stats wise since you sat out the last fight. Quote
StickFig Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Matthias should have Power Bonus: 2 because he ate his Zoot's Cookie for power. And technically he should still be wearing his Dapper Hat instead of the Quickdraw Quiver. "Lady Purpearl, can you blind that blasted fairy?" Matthias calls out as he swaps his Dapper Hat for the Quickdraw Quiver and accepts the Peashooter from 'XX'. "Master Ruffers, what say we finish this quickly and all head to the nearest tavern together afterwards?" he calls to his animal friends. > Matthias: Change Dapper Hat for Quickdraw Quiver > XX: Give Matthias Peashooter > Matthias: Accept Peashooter from XX Quote
Zepher Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 OoC: I know, I'm just saving some work for myself the following round since you always (rightly so) change them out. And thank you! I thought you did eat it, but just couldn't find it! "I do not think this is something that should be finished quickly." "You are working for a bad man, Matthias!" cries Russel, seemingly concerned that Matthias has unknowingly stepped onto the wrong side of the battle. "I believe he has made a choice, Ruffers." "Oh..." Russel looks down at the grass. "Maybe I'm just confused." Quote
StickFig Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 "I have made a choice, Sir Pigley, and I feel better for having made it. Master Aventine may be a bad man, but 'Lord' Chauncey," the gnome spits the honorific and looks in Zelphie's direction, "judging by the company he keeps, is at least as bad. Both of them made a deal with a demon. But the leaders of Heroica believed in Master Aventine enough to honor his request for aid with our contract. Master Ruffers, I would think you too would honor your contract with Master Everyman." "I will not strike you two intentionally," the gnome adds, "nor Lady Fenral, but this cannon can be a little uncontrollable at times, and I will have no shame attacking that fairy or her master." Quote
Zepher Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 "Yes, Aventine keeps much better company," says Pigley, pointing with his snout towards the undead. Russel too looks a little worriedly at the undead... and also at Lady Purpearl, though he stays silent on that front. "I will not harm either you nor the Lady Nerwen! And it was not an easy choice. But I will fight and you shall fight! As long as we both do what is right, I am certain everything will be okay!" "Matthias, enough snorting at the animals, let's finish this." Quote
Purpearljellyblob Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Holding on to the wound, Purpearl thought of retreating. But given she might not last long in this situation, she thought she might as well make the best of it and bring down some enemies with her instead. "Russel, to think I have kept you and your buddy alive so you can stab me at this moment. Very well, we will go down together."

StickFig Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Matthias ignores 'XX' and continues to try and sway the animals' judgement. "Yes, it's plain our employer is a necromancer," he says, and shudders a tiny shudder, "but you are fighting to preserve a pair who admit to callous, unfeeling murder in the name of strength. There are necromancers among the Heroes of Heroica, so I'm told, and," he shudders again, "the dead have less need of their bodies than the living have of their lives." Seeing Berthadhiell's aim, the ranger adds, "Lady Purpearl, will you not leave our friends at least until the others are done?" Quote
