Destiny spawns in at B9, runs to E12 and stabs Jester1. She then retreats back to E10.

The Man goes up to the Husk, pulls out a stack of missing posters, and hands them to him. "Hey, if you could put these around the place, I'd really appreciate it." He then nonchalantly slides 10 credits over the counter.

Oh yeah, he should probably go fight or something. He spawns in at E8, moves to D12, and punches Jester Numero Uno in the face a couple times. He then retreats to B10.

As soon as the Husk appeared, Hat Kid turned herself into ice. Probably flashbacks to some scary ghost or something.

Boshi, though? He's petrified for a moment, before he relaxes a bit (but not enough to be caught off-guard), seems it wasn't yet another clown. That being said, he backs the gorilla away from the Husk (with Hat Kid in tow), keeping his eye on the new shopkeep until he loses sight of him, and bolts East.

Before entering battle, though...



THEN he moves onto the battlefield. (After equipping his new guitar of course)

---

A powerful riff is heard from the Players' side of the battlefield...
On cue, Boshi spawns at (G8), moves to (I11), and adds a bit of rock (fires) to the SouthEast.

"Okay, time to fight."

Brutishace spawns in at H7, dashes over to I10 and fires a blast of demonic magic at the third Jester using the Slayer Pistol.

He then retreats to I9 to get out of range of those Jesters' nasty melee weapons.

"Beefy allies, come forward!"

Monika enters the [small]7[/small] Grand [small]Dad[/small] Hall Route at H7, moving to L9 and invoking the Purge.

Monika also +1's her RES for that sweet maxing out, and sets the remaining 10% Magical Resistance on the Whispering Gauntlet to Fire.

the Celefruit, lumipod and cinderfruit get harvested, and replanted in maximum quantitys.
I tell Pip that I am indeed enjoying the purple liquid, but I have an idea...
I craft a whole ton more of these buckets, and conjure a small mechanism with trion to make sure they fall properly. [-X SP]
I proceed to craft a very very long spool of silk from 2 silkweed, and tie it to a bucket. the buckets will now periodically drop on the thyme matter, where I will reinventories it. I then replace the bucket with a new one, and deinventories it. essentially, low-effort automation of thyme-matter retrieval from this infinite wellspring. it might be a bit slow though.

Venia shrugs off Chloe being the only one who seems to have even noticed the addition of herself to the group, and absolutely no-one seeming to notice that she spawned out of Mr. Krab's head (and that he's a robot). It makes her feel like she's being ignored. Or that she's being a drama queen, no clue.

"Uh, seven-foot-six, I think?" Venia responds. "Maybe seven-foot-seven. I forget the precise measurement. I'll admit I kinda think you look like me when I was twelve... Mph.

Venia turns away, and scratches her head a little, then turns back around. "Uh, question. I know you came through that portal to save your brother, but, uh, but that doesn't seem so, well, uh, let's put it this way; Why didn't you call the police or something? Did it just not occur to you, was it something about Xavier's work that was 'totally not illegal trademark,' was it, uh, just not really a choice? I'm sorry. Understandably, you can't really, uh, back out of this one now, and you're doing great for all the pressure, but I don't quite understand why you forwent the... The 'common sense' tactic."

A pause.

"... Sorry, uh, I don't think I should've brought that up, but I'm too curious for my own good, really."

----+----

Because Ire clearly didn't notice this before...

Assuming the Husk won't stop her, Venia heads to the Coat check and inspects the orb with the numbers on it. She proceeds to take the Glacial Monolith Scroll and cast Static Overcharge, Glacial Monolith, and Fury on the orb with one hand-in that precise order, of course.

"... Dreadfully sorry for the intrusion, sir." Venia says, off-hand. "I heard about a certain item used for many murders... I'd like to help but I'd need information."

----+----

Venia puts in a request for Chloe to scavenge for an Aero Core.

"On topics unrelated to your backstory, uhhh... I'm, uh.... I'm thinking of, uh, well, Nia. Yeah, what she has going on is... Uh, yeah. Your brother has a lot to answer to regarding that brainless idea... Yeah, I'm thinking of that. I did make, uh, the robot krab shell... Geez, that sounds ridiculous, ahahaha! Uh, but, anyways, I'd need some spare parts, uh, computer-y stuff for it, though. Specifically, uh, I kind of need a coolant system, and the Aero Core looks promising... In theory, anyways. Maybe you can find something of the sort in your spare time? Just, let me know if you find anything. I'm a bit busy with related research... Uh, with all the information I've gotten on the Butterfly, uh. It's unlikely he'll be OK with his prey being stolen from him... The sicko."

----+----

Venia moves to the Grand Hall entrance battle. "OK, OK. let's, let's give this a whirl. Maybe the shell was just a dumb idea after all... I mean. I don't understand why the hell the contract had to include, uh, a General Greivous costume, at all." She flexes her hands.

She spawns on G7 and uses Terraform on H8 through H10. H8 and H9 become Blue Geos, while H10 is now a Mana Vent. "OK, uh, the Blue Geos... Eugh, attempting to clone descendants or whatever's gonna take the wind out of their sails. Uh, gonna basically be hard to maintain, so, uh. Not sure if it'll activate for more than one of us, is the thing."

Okay, first things first, stat assignments.

Calibri: +3 INT, -1 DEF, +1 RES
EN: +4 RES, +1 HP

Second things second, uh... Calibri suddenly vanishes in flash of darkness, appears at the house, grabs EN, then disappears again and takes her with him as he teleports. The pair appear in the Grand Hall - EN at G8, Calibri just off the battle screen somehow, Verdana somehow also having joined him.

"I've fought a few battles in a row, can you cover this one while we let you know about anything coming from the north?"
"Well, a'ight, ah guess so."

EN orients her shield SOUTH, moves to G11, then unloads shots into Jester 1 (if he's dead or dies mid-way through the assault, Jester 2 instead). She doesn't retreat cause lel no retreat... Evidently, she's counting on her massive DEF and RES and resistances to keep herself safe. Failing that, the speaker system might do.

Irongutta scratches the back of his head after being on the receiving end of Omo's glare. "Zog, my bad. I gotta remember I'm not 'round other Orks."

He then digs x1 Reading Lamp out of the inventory and is overwhelmed by a sudden desire to disassemble it. "Lessee what kinda scraps I get outta this thing."

After that, he arrives at the Grand Hall Route. "Bloody 'ell, wot's with all these clowns? I 'eard Toast say somethin' 'bout clown murder, which I can get behind." Irongutta spawns in at F8 and uses a self-casting Fury on Venia!

Zed spawns in and moves to I7, then hacks into the Confetti Turret. He then attaches 8 Copper Gears and wheels made of 12 Titanium Ingots and 10 Refined Wood, then MacGyvers an engine out of 3 Circuit Boards and 16 Wire Scraps. He attaches a probe to control the new Confetti Sentry.

Auth does a couple of things. First, he tosses 50 Credits at the Husk, and obtains the Nail Bat from him! He then immediately passes it to Pop on the upper floor. The Iti snatches the bat from out of his hands.

POP: wow that's great
POP: awesome when you never need to do anything
POP: i guess we'll be seeing you then
POP: meet us and we'll give you something

She pops off the couch, begins flipping head over heels rapidly, and rolls off towards the Hall of Sages. Then, Auth takes a moment to talk with Omo, asking if she could pass this information up to High Command. She shakes her head no.

OMORIKA: I doubt they'd believe me.
OMORIKA: Spark is dead-set on launching the Sphere straight towards the Tabletopians. Nothing I could do would change his mind.
OMORIKA: He knows I'm against the idea as well. Two points in his favor for sticking to his beliefs. It's... not great.

He also answers Omo's questions about Chaos.

OMORIKA: Interesting. I assume this was the result of timeloops? They were a small presence on the battlefields below...
OMORIKA: As for Ire's role here, he was our presence on the battlefield below. We initially took him in due to his status as the Sleuth's Descendant, after the aforementioned Ancestor's descent into insanity.
OMORIKA: I've actually seen him around here. He seems to be in cahoots with the Rose Cult nowadays.
OMORIKA: ...Come to think of it, the activity of the Rose Cult on Sussui went up exponentially when he first arrived on our planet. Perhaps this is fate.

Terry then rotates a spell, while Teag expends 10 Iron and 5 Titanium working on the Ship's Hull further. He then moves the Generator and a Beacon Glyph from the Basement to the Airship, and hooks the former up to the ship. It doesn't provide enough power, but it's a start! He ends up adding 10% Hull and 20% Systems total. Elsewhere, Comet +1's her AGI.
Wyvern also quickly talks with Marron and Ette moments before the battle. While Marron simply crosses her arms and goes hmpfh, Ette waves goodbye to him as he walks off. He then also +2's his STR and AGI, and +1's his DEF.

Emerald then offers to make a probably worse rifle for Marron. She nods her head.

MARRON: Hm, that'd be pretty nice...
MARRON: Could you make it fire needles, so that I can conjure ammo on a whim? Or would that make it a crossbow? Or a railgun? Or a... bow... gun? Bowgun. Are those a thing?
MARRON: ...I don't know much about firearms. Sue me.

The Man then hands 10 Credits to the Husk, asking him to hang posters around the place.

HUSK: The Husk thinks for a moment. He is a hard-working aberrant, and not the sort of postal service that places posters! But, a job is a job.

He snatches up the credits, and hecks off for a few short seconds, placing the posters around the premises. He then crawls back to his position in the shop. Boshi meanwhile, absconds from the shopkeeper, and cobbles together his Teslathrower Light, a Resonating Pike Charge, 4 Titanium Ingots, 1 Iron Ingot, 1 Speaker System, 2 Copper Gears, 1 Thymium Glue, and not the gate because he's spent enough by this point I'd say. This creates Tesla's Riff, a guitar that is sure to annoy neighbors around the globe! Especially Omo. Monika also +1's her RES and sets a resist.

JOE then harvests his Celefruit, Lumipods, and Cinderfruit. He gets 12 of the Cele, 6 Cinder, and 8 of the Lumi. The trees also end up providing 44 total Uniform Logs. Suddenly, Chaos appears at the farm!

CHAOS: eyyy
CHAOS: i haven'(t) (t)alked in a few (t)urns did you miss me
CHAOS: anyway, i smell fresh produ©e, and god- or helix i guess knows how well (t)ha(t) sells
CHAOS: i'll buy 10 ©elefrui(t), 10 lumipods, and 8 ©inderfrui(t) from you for... a©(t)ually sin©e (t)here's no way in he©k i'm giving you money, i'll give you ei(t)her (t)he toxi© swa(t)hing or (t)he origin s(t)ring free of ©hrug
CHAOS: in(t)eres(t)ed?
CHAOS: i need vitamin please a©©ep(t)

JOE then sets up a quick device to automatically gather Thyme Matter from the pool, expending 2 Silkweed, 10 Cobblestone, and 5 Uniform Logs in its creation. It definitely looks slow, but at least it's an automatic harvester! Venia then chats with Chloe a little. She asks about her reckless endeavor, and why she didn't call the police or something.

CHLOE: I don't think calling the police would've really done much...
CHLOE: Despite the whole Godmodding War incident, I doubt the police would believe some random girl yelling about a portal that appeared in her brother's bedroom.
CHLOE: Besides, what would they even do? Shoot some trees, or get mauled by Iti? I don't even know...
CHLOE: ...They'd probably be more effective at searching this planet than me alone, though. I'll give them that, at least.

She then also says that Chloe forgot about the common sense tactic.

CHLOE: Okay, it was stupid, but hear me out!
CHLOE: I hadn't seen my brother in a few days. While he usually stays cooped up in his room doing all sorts of things, he usually comes down for dinner... fifty percent of the time.
CHLOE: He also hadn't contacted me on Pesterchum in a couple of days, and I was worried sick- what if he died while tinkering with something dangerous?
CHLOE: I gently opened the door broke into his room in the middle of the night, and boom. Portal.
CHLOE: I-I was... I was so w-worried...
CHLOE: I-I didn't want to waste any time, so I quickly packed some things in a bag, and rushed in there to save him.

She sighs.

CHLOE: And then I got mauled by an Iti.
CHLOE: Imagine my surprise when I learned that not only was he alive out here, but he had Nia, and that this was a whole alien world, and that there were these purple creatures, and that there were you guys...
CHLOE: Also imagine my surprise when it turned out that Mr. Krabs's innards were kinda hot.
[small][small]CHLOE: Nia would totally dig you, by the way. Don't be surprised if you become flirting target numbero uno.[/small][/small]
CHLOE: While I was being hasty... a-and stupid, I don't regret charging into here. Not one bit.
CHLOE: I-I will save him! Even if I'm actually just saving him from himself! Nothing will stop us!

...She's pumped herself up. Then, Venia asks her for an Aero Core. Still full of energy, she bobs her head.

CHLOE: Alright!
CHLOE: It might be a little hard- or impossible, I guess, to find one of those...
CHLOE: But I'm more resourceful than I look! I've helped in my brother's experiments, and I know a thing or two...
CHLOE: If I look at the schematics for his drones, and then gather the parts...
CHLOE: ...Hold on for a second. I'll be back in a bit!

Chloe scampers out of the library, and returns with a somewhat ramshackle looking Aero Core.

CHLOE: Aaaand done! I pieced it together out of some drone remnants back near that river. Should work as well as the real thing, but I don't think I'll be able to harvest another...

She plops down next to Venia, resting her back against the wall. Looks like she ran all over finding the parts for the core. Calibri and EN then invest points, with the former going +3 INT, +1 RES, -1 DEF, and the latter going +4 RES and +1 MHP. Irongutta then salvages a Reading Lamp, obtaining 2 Luminous Crystals, 5 Wire Scraps, and 1 Circuit Board.

Venia also decides to cast some spells on the magical spell orb, taking it from the Husk. Oddly enough, he doesn't seem to mind. He then casts Static Overcharge, Glacial Monolith, and Fury on the orb, in that order. The energy of the spells seems to mingle within the orb, and... nothing interesting happens. Venia still takes the orb, as it seems like a good idea. Combination Orb obtained!

Then, Omorika decides to start researching the DGE Booster by request of Toast. This'll take awhile. To cap things off, Auth, Terry, Simeon, Bergilmir, Comet, Daskter, Wyvern, Emerald, Destiny, The Man, Boshi, Brutishace, Monika, Venia, Calibri, Irongutta, and Zedros all charge into the Grand Hall Route! They're followed by Chloe, Omorika, and Taeda!

...since I forgot to cover this, Daskter asks Chaos how much it'd cost to clone the Circuit-Laced Stick. It'd apparently take about 450 Credits. Oof.

<OMOQUEST: ROUND TWO>
The Tabletopians are pushing forward! Fortunately, you should be capable of slaughtering most of their ranks this round. Be sure to keep summoning, and think of a way to deal with that Juggernaut!

<GRAND HALL ROUTE, ROUND TWO>
Okay, two main things;

1. An Eliti has appeared, called Calypse! It's a long-ranged Siege iti that deals massive damage from a distance. It also creates floor tiles called Apocalypse Runes that will delete you and also delete you, in addition to deleting you. It's currently allied to the Carnival, but dealing enough damage to it (read; not much) will cause it to defect back to the Iti side of things!

2. Iti are spawning from the North in droves! There's four this round, all of them new- the Reverie, an aerial ranger that can put you to sleep, the Seeker Sphere, who was meant to appear earlier but died, and the Bilebaroness, a fearsome Iti spawner! This also means you're fighting a two front war. Have fun with that!

Teag forces his way through the rubble to M8, activates his special, and attacks the Bilebaron with a Piercing shot.

Originally posted on 2018-05-15 20:57:00

the harvester says it was last harvested on 68, but its currently 58. therefor, it has -10 Thyme matter in it, to counteract the thyme matter it will make between now and being harvested. Therefor, I inventories all 10 of the Thyme Antimatter. this takes up my entire action, because I need to be paying close attention for... uh... moral support? sure, let's go with that. not like I can think of a better reason.
I also make sure to place the Thyme Antimatter in a different partition of the inventory so it won't explode. since it's literally the opposite of iti, it wouldn't go there anyway, and there's no Anti-Iti section, so it goes in the Unsorted section, probably.

I then join the current battle, spawn at B8 and whack the C8 BClown.

Hello Marron I have a request for a weapon, this chrome-plated pistol is controlling quite a useful drone (Goddess Servant), do you think you can make this weapon that's inspired by it?

(T3) Air Controller "Hey look mini plane squadrons! Where are they reloading from?"
(14-16) Light, Range 4-6, Retreat 0, Counter 2, Hit 4 Reloader (The Damage is Tier2)
WEAPON SKILL: Transfer CAP planes. Passively grants +3 SHP and HIT to an ally, or yourself. You may use this weapon skill to pass this buff to another ally within Range 1-4 of the currently-buffed target. Free action. Grants +1 SHP and HIT per 4 INT. Also base weapon damage scales with normal rate of INT instead of STR. (If it scaled with Strength it would've been 2x because it's a reloader)
Stat Change: +2INT

Daskter1: "How Interesting"
Daskter2: "Having 2 bodies..."

Daskter1: Moving way from the clustergorilla, I move to K7, and summon a Combat Engineer at K6.

Daskter2: D17, he summons an Allied Scarred onto C17, then moves to D18 moving away from enemies and allies...
(37HP+5MPbase cost=42HP/MP), Daskter2 uses 28MP and 14HP, he eats a Ration too. (thats a free action right)

Combat Engineer 20INT

12 MHP+4*2=20MHP

Destiny is told to do some stuff.

Sounds like a crazy plan with a risk of death. I like it.

Destiny dashes over to H8, does an acrobatic fucking pirouette before striking Jester6 from above, retreating to J9 and Phase Shifting with Jester6. She grins.

Brace for impact, my friend.

Destiny then looks over at Marron.

(Hmm, I would like to talk to her, and see what she's like. I've gotten some info from John and I'll share it with her but I think now is not a good time to get punctured.)
(Ehh, he was still an jerkass edgelord back then, so I guess I could not arrow'd by her by saying that.)

She suddenly gets a level in Consideration, and it's displayed for all to see above her head.

Oh my god, I thought I escaped dumb level ups after completing my SGEAR session!

"Oh jeez I've gotta move!"

Brutishace dashes over to L11 to escape the Apocalypse Runes' blast. He then notices the third Jester's corpse at I12 and fires a blast of magic at it, destroying it and using the last of its occupant's life force to heal Boshi- he's taken a significant hit before slaying the third Jester.

"Here you go, this will keep you fighting!... That shot felt cathartic."

Noticing the second Chosen of the Rose Cult a decent distance away, Brutishace gulps.

The Necromancer grins uneasily and throws a Lumipod at the second Chosen in hopes of stymieing its attack, before retreating to M11. He knows this won't put him out of range of the Rose Cult's blades, but he should make room for his teammates to evade the Runes' blast.

((Oh yeah, Brutishace should have a 10% Dark and Earth resist and a 30% weakness to Light, because of his trinkets.))

Simeon is told what he should do, and gives a wide grin. "Got it."
He jumps up into the air, hovering right over G11, as he uses Nothing Left For Me To Do But Dance again.
>ATTACK
In a two-handed grip, he thrusts his Pike down towards Jester 2.
>STATUS
He then raises the Pike above his head, which begins to glow with a greenish energy. At the same time, the Jester is raised into the air and tossed over the speaker system, landing on F10.
>ATTACK
There's nothing to really attack in range of Simeon and his polearm, so he points it towards the Jester. The two of them are still floating in the air.
>MOBILIZE
He floats backwards towards I10, and returns to the ground.
"That was just the power of the Pike. Now it's my turn."
Simeon casts Phase Shift by assuming a T-Pose, and dissapears along with the Jester.

---

I just saw someone new today. They dissapeared a few moments later, but unlike the fellow scholar, or the wooden priestess and spider-rider, their senses were good enough to actually notice me, so I told them, "Welcome to the Sixth Dimension!" I don't think they actually heard me, though. They seemed more suprised to see someone else also here. Oh well. Such is life.

A moment later, Simeon and the Jester reappear, having switched places.

Originally posted on 2018-05-16 04:42:00

Battlestuff: Before Simeon acts, EN cracks her knuckles, flashes a grin at Jester2, then reaches out with the power of a Range 2 Demolishing Punch to slam the Jester2 right in the... face or chest, probably, assuming she can connect the blow. She doesn't retreat, both because she doesn't feel the need to back off yet and because she can't retreat.


RPstuff: Once I'm on a better device, I might fill this in.
