OoC: Fair point. If we don't do this one, we wouldn't level up again by the time we get to the dragon, though. (Unless you want to do one of the lesser battles we were avoiding - Direwolves might not be so bad with Counterstriking and Poison.) Either way's fine with me.

I've been getting infinite loading and haven't tried logging in, but everything looks okay in MuleDump.

I don't understand why you haven't worked out a deal for Legonater to use the Sword of Ancestral Hatred. He's a permanently Lucky Assassin in your own party!

"Master Emorith, the majority of the enemies are Fiery; I suggest that you use Water or Earth instead in order to maximize your Damage if you get a Magic Vortex."

OoC: In case any of you read this before I edited the post, Flare should use the Nostrum on K-nut instead of K-nut taking the Nostrum himself, because then we get the possibility of a Magic Vortex this Round while still having the elemental advantage, with K-nut attacking instead of Flare. OoC: Thanks.

OoC: I gave K-nut 2 Potions and 1 Grand Potion. Enraged forces the hero to fight from the Front Row, right? "For now the basic strategy, subject to change if Enraged is different than what I think it is, is: I'll cross my fingers and take the Bright Widow. Master Carvenhall, give Master Emorith a Nostrum. The rest of you, concentrate on the Fireflies - hopefully Master Unth'or can assassinate a couple of 'em. "There'll be six Free Hits: the Red Rattlesnake, two of the Fireflies and the three Will o' the Wisps. The Order should be myself, Master Nihai, Master Unth'or, Master Carvenhall, Master Emorith." I attack the Bright Widow from the Back Row with my Darksteel Crossbow.

I usually pick up T10s and Old Tops, and then they sit in my mules because I'm too lazy to spend an hour or so trying to sell them. I'll pick up T9 staves and robes if not only out of habit or to eventually use to level, but all other T9s I'll pick up to give away to a newbie or drop if I don't have space. I drop all the T8s or just leave them in the purple bags. And I'll also drop the T10 katana and wand (Ichi and Shadow) because they're practically worthless. Same for the T5 shuriken.

Indeed. There are some sources which I would consider very reliable, such as Brickset, but even sets seen in the retailer's catalog are prelims and subject to change. (the biggest recent major change probably being the Qunilan Vos/Anakin Skywalker minifig swap in the big flat shuttle thing) We can't assume a set is "100% confirmed" just because a well-known video channel mentions it.

"Sounds good." I hand Althior two Potions and a Grand Potion.

OoC: And could we also wait at the Sanctuary until K-nut responds to my trade offer? (unless you're okay with doing it before you run the first Round of the next battle for the sake of moving along - not that we're not already moving at a pretty fast pace)

"Master Emorith, at 37 max Health, you don't really need the powers of a Health Core. Would you trade it for a Potion and a Grand Potion?" OoC: Actually, I don't remember how much a Health Core is worth in the Marketplace... Feel free to offer me a fairer price if I'm off. OoC: Oh, were there 8 Water Bombs? They're listed in the Round description but not in the list of loot.

"I need neither the Aquamarine nor the Aqua Gear. I'm not sure what kind of value the latter would have in the Marketplace, but Master Nihai might as well take it for now even if he doesn't want to keep it; he's the only one with an open artifact slot. "Do any of you want a couple Potions or Grand Potions?"

So if Docken decides to try Warlock, is he Blind after using the first job trait? Kidding aside, I like the fact that the demon can join the enemy. Definitely a Shield skill that can hurt the party with bad luck or bad strategy.

Actually, now that I think about it, in cases other than mine (William, Benji), that's not so outrageous and it sort of makes sense. Get more Defense in addition to more HP now that the Free Hits stack, and an extra 5-10 SP isn't a huge amount but it could save you. But you'd have to wait for me to get to Mime before making the change otherwise it would obviously be overpowering.

I propose that Wardens receive doubled Defense in addition to doubled HP while Aura is up. That'll definitely help make the class more attractive.

"Defender-class Cruiser"? Did I miss something where that picture was shown with that number? Because that just looks like that weird Zygereregeregyiyrian* slaver flying skiff thing from the CW show. *May or may not be actual spelling.

"I'd like one of the Black Pearls, Master Carvenhall. I can also make the most efficient use of those Health Cores, and I would be willing to give the rest of you some Potions or Grand Potions if compensation is required."

Nope! You got three votes, good for tenth place.

OoC: No problem, Pie. Thanks for being willing to autoroll so much in these field battles.

Oh, is it only mules from after then? *sigh of relief* Mine should be fine, then. If I can ever get the game to load to check.

I would check on mine, but I'm getting infinite loading into the main menu right now. MuleDump seems to be unable to access them, though. -50 Life for me. How about you guys?

I think "+ Power" is calculated after Level is added to WP, but before Encouraged or elemental modifiers. Fairly certain.

Merged.

OoC: I think we could autoroll with only K-nut and I attacking the Gloom Widow, everyone else doing nothing, with K-nut attacking until he is in danger of being Knocked Out and myself attacking until the Widow's dead. Then K-nut and I attack the Aquaphant until it's dead, unless Rain on Your Parade is rolled, in which case we all do nothing while I Counterstrike it to death. I don't think there's any way someone could get Knocked Out with that plan nor is there anything we the heroes could gain through rolls, so I don't think you actually have to roll all those Rounds if you don't want to. I attack the Gloom Widow from the Back Row with my Darksteel Crossbow.
