Against the Night OOC

[Drakeyboy]

Yeah but not a lot of people do though.

[Xavier Akafur]

Oh don't wait on me by all means xD Some days I simply don't post. I would say 4 posts or 24 hours between posts would be fine. Just so long as you give people the opportunity to reply. ^^;


Edit: Also hopefully this fight isn't taking too long for you guys. I like the pitched battle kind of fights, so sometimes they tend to get lengthy.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Hopefully my post isn't out of line and can give Nemael enough to work with. I figure the tongue is going to be a pain unless it's severed.

You... could like rip the things throat out... it has a big soft fleshy place for you to pull a Beowulf.

Or... Kratos... and kill it from the inside.

[Eden-H]

Given your response and then Silas', I have more than enough to work with, ahah. Though Nemael will be virtually useless at this point since he has expended almost all of his energy.

Hah! That would be a sight. Though I think everyone is wary of the fact it constantly produces a corrosive acid in its mouth, so getting near that point would be borderline suicidal given its response to attacks on its fleshy bits. But hey! We do need someone to be a big goddamned hero. 

I bloody love the fact your critter thought that.


Edit: The battle isn't taking too long for me. I honestly love when characters are thrown against something that uses every last bit of their will and wit. Not constantly for obvious reason, though I think it is a fun way to start out and have everyone get to know one another. Even grow bonds where none would have come into existence against an easy foe.

[Xavier Akafur]

Good to know That is usually my intention with leading a group directly into something challenging. It allows me to gauge their characters strength as well as their style of roleplay (willingness to work as a team and how they handle being outmatched) right off the bat.


With that being said, good job Mort. I'm glad somebody went for the kill xD

Nemael, not sure where you were going with the apothecary being shady, but if you want to pull this out into an ongoing plot feel free. I love when the other players introduce story elements that I didn't obviously lead them into

[Eden-H]

Makes sense. To be frank, my character turned in a completely different direction than what I had initially intended due to that monstrosity! I also made him a lot wee bit less knowledgeable on how his magic works. y u do dis

Anyway, thank you Mort for making the killing blow and turning it into such an amusing scene! I look forward to seeing how everyone responds to your... offer.

As for the apothecary, I will be sending you a PM about that! Beware of possible rambling. I have no idea what my brain is going to tell me to write out quite yet.

[Xavier Akafur]

Haha, to be fair it made all of our rather powerful characters probably feel a bit meek in comparison. I know a few posts with Xavier I was sitting there scratching my head, like... I can't hurt it. It was one of those rare scenarios where both offensively and defensively he was just not strong enough, or well-equipped enough to be useful. Maybe traveling with this party may actually prompt him to pick up a weapon, or some kind of magic item for big beasties like that. Should be interesting

I gave Camille very open ends on his powers.. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in the beginning to be honest.
So then I just said, "screw it, I'll become a wall." As we continue to go on, I'm trying to think of what Camille can actually do, which fits because he's not fully aware himself.

But I'm also trying to avoid hitting godmod, so during the next fight(assuming one happens), I'm going to make him take a heavy blow to his ego.
Oh, and himself.

[Xavier Akafur]

Yes, godmode characters are no fun to have around, but I would not consider Camille a likely candidate for that title. So far he seems one of the most balanced of the group. Super useful as a healer, since we have no others with healing magic capable of doing much beyond minor wound treatment.

[Drakeyboy]

Yeah for Drake the only reason why he is up in power is because if you can't hit what's attacking you it's most likely going to get you. Drake doesn't have much offensive range power but up close he tears people apart. As you can probably tell . Coupled with his low mana pool he actually has to be pretty careful.

[Ryan Naismith]

I'm sorry, but some bad personal circumstances have come up, that I would rather not describe on here. Again, I apologize, but I'm going to have to take a leave of absence from this Role play. It's a really great one and I regret not being able to keep up with it, but I have to leave, at least for a bit. Sorry, all.

[Khaki (on hiatus)]

I have a broken wrist, typing is not fun at the moment, i may have to pull out for a bit

[Xavier Akafur]

Oh, well that's a bit of a problem, eh? Just let us know when you're feeling better!

And Silas it's cool, if you get things sorted just let me know, we will keep a spot open for you.

In the mean time, I guess what's the vote for accepting more people to just staying with our smaller group? Even with both of our trackers out of commission we still have six people.

[tangletail]

The thief is not a in your face fighter :p.  He is more close to GW2 Where they catch you off guard and melt you. Or work groups down with tools, tricks, and Damage over time.
