Round Eleven Angels and Conquerers Battle >Pretzel v. Angel of the West - Enchantment/Special Damage (Roll of 4, Broom +1 WP) >Samuel v. Commander Colt - Meditate/Shield/Special Damage/Damage (Guardian Angel) >Samuel uses Scroll of Blinding on Oko - Failure (Roll of 5) >Yu Shu v. Angel of the West - Special Damage (2 Damage, Confused) >Yu Shu v. Angel of the West - Confused: Attacks Kiray & Avery ([48*2]=96 Damage-SP, KO Both) >Pretzel throws a Bone at Oko Bella v. Pretzel (No Damage) Guardian Angel B v. Samuel (15/2-12=0 Damage) Half-a-Hero - Success (Phoenix Essence on Angel of the North) Healer - Failure The heroes continue to have rotten luck. Samuel is able to summon back his angel, but as he does the Angel of the West sweeps forward and passes through Yu Shu, possessing her for a brief moment. She twirls her weapon wildly, lethally wounding Avery and Kiray, knocking both of them out. The two paladins and Prtzel stand strong and behind the safety of the guardian angel, but Oko steps near the shredded shimmering remains of the Guardian Angel of the North and pours a phoenix essence on them, and one of the heroes' vanquished foes returns to the battle.

Can we vote him off finally? If it will truly be over by May, I should be good! There may be a few stretches where I'll be a bit busy, but should still be able to post every day, just not play Hinckley level commitment 24/7! :thumbup: It was his good looks.

OoC: Technically, and I haven't been wanting to point this out, but technically Yu Shu isn't hastened on turns she attacks weaponless. So from now on all of her second attacks will use her weapon or you will have to sacrifice that attack. Round Nine Angels and Conquerers Battle >Pretzel v.

There are quite a few items that break the game, but there's not much we can do about them currently.

Bobby whips Highwayman B from the front row.

"Yo Middy, I got you. These dudes ain't groovy, and they're about to know it." Bobby follows behind Miderun, his whip at the ready.

Bobby wanders out of the carriage, following Miderun. "What's up, my dudes! You look a little lost, maybe we can help you on your way!" Bobby cracks his whip. "My friends can get kinda whack sometimes, you don't want to go screwing with them! Maybe I can just show you dudes the right direction?" He ducks as a shot is fired, but it just grazes his friend. "Yo, that's f'd up, you def gonna have a bad day now, dude."

Boomingham laughs at the young man.

"I'll take your word for it," says Boomingham, grinning wolfishly at the young sorcerer. "Ah, of course we all put on a show for the ladies. Why else are we on this quest?" chuckle Boomingham. "I just don't like young chaps who are cheeky enough to make me look bad." Boomingham smiles at the newest addition to the group. "You know her?" he says to Eric before bowing to the novice. "Pleasure to meet you, Miss. I'm Lord Boomingham, King of the Desert, Slayer... ah, the rest of the sisters can tell you the rest." "We'll see if you can manage it."

And as we all know, chance follows a strict set of rules! That is exceptionally bad luck, though.

OoC: Real sorry about the pacing of the battle, I would auto roll if I ever had the time... though you're a little bit to blame too with this strategy.

Boomingham chuckles at the puny jabs. "I've dealt with your type before, boy-o, those young heroes who were too big for their breeches. One of them is an a-okay fellow today who could probably slice me up easy enough if he wanted to - don't tell him I said that - and the other is still a chatty thorn in the side of many heroes. We'll see how you shape up." Boomingham looks over his shoulder at the approaching Eric. "Is this the young chappo that you said you knew? Is he always like this, or just trying to put on a show for the ladies?"

"Yo, you never know. World is a funky megablocks place, you know?"

I agree with you! I think there's a way to implement both the health boost and the leveling up health.

I think Dragons' HP should be stronger than just the level of the player, but also like the idea of it leveling up with the player.

"Show some respect, boy-o." Boomingham jabs his pudgy fore-finger into Heckz's chest. "If the ladies say we're waiting, we're waiting. Don't think I forgot how you treated our lovely old ugly green-skin back in the Hall. And those titles aren't made up. Accomplish enough and maybe you'll earn some as well. 'School-slueth.' Pft."

Boomingham grins at Esther as he strolls forward on the dock. "Don't handle the sea too well myself." Boomingham bows to the women. "Lord Lawrence Boomingham, King of the Lost Kingdom, King of the Desert, Slayer of the Bluehood, Steerpike the Poisoner and the Eternal Reaper, and a Hero who's actually worth his weight in gold... or something like that... I swear that's the title Patricia gave me." He bows again, unsure if he has already bows and deciding to play it on the safe side. "It will be my honor to accompany you."

I love when CAT members return. Too bad the heroes killed off Zelphie... I really liked her.

Bobby clammers into the couch, munching on the apple. It tastes alright, but each bite is incredibly hard to get through - the skin of the apple is like armor. Even so, he gives Annie a thumbs up. "It ain't the best apple I've ever had, but right on for sharing, you're top notch." He gives her the "a-okay sign" with his thumb and forefinger and clicks in his cheek (are there better words for some of this stuff??).

That actually sounds relatively easy, easy to keep track of, and fair.

She shrugs. "I already lost my life. It wasn't too bad." She turns to Kiray with a blank smile. "He's a bit of a stickler, isn't he?"

I like when the characters play up the power dynamics. One of my favorite moments in Heroica is when Guts took Hybros to his boat and threw Karie over the edge and no one batted an eye. It was a great RP moment for all three that was built off of their stats, which is the best synergy of RPG.

Both of these things! I'm not for an all out nerf, exactly, but at the same time Alchemist isn't about gold. I think the discount still makes it an affordable class, and absolutely they should get a good 4 roll in replacement. Not trying to make it a "worse" class, just a more "give and take" class.

Exactly.
