The Bombardment Bots move to D5 (1) and D6 (2). The first casts Fury on the other, gaining Self-Fury as well, then the second fires a basic attack at the Inciter.

The Voice moves to E6, casts Hidden Eye on the Swirl, then retreats to D7.

Comet moves to F10 and throws the egg at the Breaker.

"(Alright, pal. If that's what it's gonna be... then HERE I COME!)"

Boshi casts Whirling Blades, moving from his current position, to (H8), to (M11), to evade the Overwatch.

"(Hang on, lady, we're comin'!)"

Zedros heads over to the Ancient Ruins and solves the puzzle.


He loots the chest, then attempts to bottle some water from the fountain.

Mr. Krabs will move to C6 and fire upon Seeker 4 with the Strobe Beam, hopefully hitting and killing. Seeker 1, per the passive, will have UNCE to deal with.

"Just like my days on the navy, ahahaha!"

Emerald gets slightly annoyed at the Seeker living and shoved it down its throat again, casting Shield Slam once more on Seeker2

Move to D5. Strike at Seeker1.

"Oh, boy, I sure hope people who aren't me drop out of the battle!

Seeing as how someone need to leave before horrible consequences. The Artist leaves.

Brutishace gets on his hands and knees and crawls over to AF42, meticulously searching the ground for peculiar samples of wood, particularly snakewood.

He keeps glancing up at the Stage in case danger decides to show up, however.

The girl standing on stage was singing something earlier, something that Asuka certainly enjoyed. And she mentioned something about someone else being able to do it...
<2>
ASUKA: That was actually pretty good.
ASUKA: Hmm. You know, I was an idol before I got horribly murdered, so perhaps I could have a go later?

<4>
ASUKA: Yeah. I suppose I really only got into it because of my slightly weird personality, but I can definitely sing "professionally", you know?
ASUKA: I hope they got enough voice samples anyway...

If the puzzle is solved and she can pass through the puzzle area, she starts to mine some titanium ore from the hidden chamber, preferably with the pickaxe.

Teag sees Emerald's struggle and goes over to help him. Help him by going over and shooting the Seeker in the head with a regular round.

Irongutta, disappointed by how whatever was supposed to happen at the stage turned out to be a total dud, decides to go to the Ancient Ruins if the boulder puzzle is solved. There, he will give the Titanium Vein a hearty smack in an attempt at getting some of that sweet, sweet metal. "Finally, da good stuff."

Since Zedros did the puzzle, DCCCV frowns.

"Aww, I wanted to do that."

He goes over to the Drone, and attempts to strike up some conversation with it.

"So, why are you here?" he asks. "Who sent you here?"

If this fails I'm going to laugh my head off

Originally posted on 2017-12-04 23:26:00

"Uh... uh... They won't be quiet, help?"
"Got ya covered."

EN proceeds to smack the Iti Seeker over the head in an attempt to knock it out. She at least gets that Verdana wants something out of the creature, which is pretty much the only reason she ain't going for an execution...

"Ya got anything to dampen noise?"
"No. I'd have done that if I could do that!"


"Well. This is... possibly tough."

Calibri is... a bit lost for what to do. If the Breaker lives, I suppose he'll attack it and try to "retreat" to I10 if possible. If it's dead, he'll go to I9 and try an attack on the Raider in the hope he can retreat past it to K7. If both are dead, he just moves to K7 normally.

<ROUND EIGHT>
Toast makes way for the Forest Checkpoint. As she approaches, the Chairians are quick to make her stop, weapons drawn. She asks if she can come by, and if they know what the deal is with the stage. A Chairian Lancer riding a spider crawls over to the front, addressing her.

[small][small]RIDER: (Oh look, a new color. This one's easier to remember.)[/small][/small]
RIDER: This is a checkpoint under the watch of mistress Acacia. You may not pass... outsiders.

He says that last word with such disdain, such arrogance... it's kinda painful.

RIDER: Run along, now.
RIDER: You have no business here. Begone!

...He refuses to say anything about the stage. It does however, seem like he knows something. JOE then heads up, and attempts to intimidate the Chairians into moving.

RIDER: You don't know what you're dealing with, rabble.
RIDER: There's many more of us in the wings... and we're more than capable of killing a green-haired fleshbag and her accomplices. We've been dealing with rebels for the past few days, and they've made no ground on us.
RIDER: Unless you care to become a corpse, I'd advise stepping back.

JOE then waddles off and bashes the rest of a vein of Iron Ore out of existence. 5 Iron obtained. Destiny then decides to take some of the Survival Gear from the bag, and upgrades her Hookshot Daggers with them! She also makes an Iron Pickaxe with two sticks that she found from somewhere, and 3 Iron Ingots. It only has 3 uses, though. The Man then wheels out of the battle at the Fortified Cavern, being followed by the Artist. Zedros then decides to exercise his right to do puzzles, and pushes some boulders around. To his (probably not) surprise, the puzzle is cleared!

ACCOMPLISHMENT UNLOCKED: Puzzle Time

He then flips open the chest, finding a couple of things.
-The Eternal Flower (Weapon)
-4 Goneblossom
-4 Soulblossom

He then heads over the fountain, and bottles up some of the holy dew, obtaining 3 Flasks of Holy Dew, a simple potion. Brutishace then REALLY gets desperate, searching all around the stage for some Snakewood. He actually manages to find a few logs worth amidst the corrupted wood. 4 logs, to be precise. Asuka then heads to the Ancient Ruins, and mines the Titanium Vein instantly with the help of her pickaxe. This nets 20 Titanium. Teag then thinks about going to help Emerald, but that'd cause a breach in the Player Cap and in general, cause bad times. DCCCV then asks why the drone in the Ancient Ruins is there.

DRONE: today, we have a wide variety of goods on sale!
DRONE: be sure to buy whatever interests you!

...That's a weird response. He then asks who sent the drone there.

DRONE: today, we have a wide variety of goods on sale!
DRONE: be sure to buy whatever interests you!

The drone appears to be highly intelligent. If skillpoint levels weren't shared between players, DCCCV would likely gain a point of INT from the drone's sage wisdom. EN then tries to knock out the Iti Seeker, clubbing it with her weapon. To her relief, the thing falls unconscious. Now what to do with it? Hopefully, that didn't attract any attention...

...

At the Forest Checkpoint, Toast feels some tension in the air. Conflict is likely to break out... just don't forget that if it happens, you don't need to kill anyone. Dropping a Chairian to 0 HP will down them; the next hit will kill them. You can't feel terrible as long as you don't kill them! Well, maybe you still can.

<FORTIFIED CAVERN, ROUND THREE>
Good progress; just keep progressing into that cavern! Be wary of the Bilespawn, a brand new enemy type! It spawns Seekers and Cysts, and has quite a bit of bulk. Be sure to take it down quickly... or rush the Naclestial. Either works.

Before the Next Turn starts, Auth uses Black Shield on Ziah and runs away to D11.

After Auth's move, Terry moves to G10, launches an Overseer Drone at the inciter, and then blasts it.

Comet turbo modes to L11 and places a teleporter on M12.

She shouts to the girl.

Hey, uh... girl! What's your name?

Comet waits for a response.

...we found a bag in the untamed woods. Is it yours?

If she answers in the affirmative, Comet puts all the stuff back in the bag (except the sharpening kit) and scrawls "Do Not Touch" on it.

---

Comet sits down on top of the teleporter to catch her breath.

Whew, fighting sure is exhausting...

She looks around for a minute before deciding to take out a spare pair of Aeroskates™ from...somewhere. Comet also grabs some titanium, iron, wire scraps, and other materials as needed. She examines the Aeroskates™. They're a marvel of technology and engineering, not to brag too much, but... They weren't exactly designed for combat. The exterior is fairly fragile, and the air blades had been specifically designed to minimize the outcoming force. They had to be safe enough that she could walk around town with them on, after all.

Comet grabs a toolbox from... somewhere again, and starts taking the Aeroskates™ apart. She first takes the titanium and iron, using them to reinforce the joints and other fragile sections of the Aeroskates'™ exterior. She then begins modifying the interior to change how the excess energy is dealt with, reducing the amount of waste heat produced in favour of more force from the air blades, or, perhaps more accurately, removing the parts which do the opposite. It's a rough job, but there's only so much she can do in the current situation. Comet finally puts the Aeroskates™ back together, stashing them until they can be tested outside of battle.

Weaponized Aeroskates™
+1 DEF
+1 Base Damage
+1 Skill Damage
(Compared to normal Aeroskates™)

Pls no take.

Mr. Krabs moves to G7 and uses a Lunge to move to G8, somehow stabbing the Inciter directly in the face while he does this. I bet you're probably imagining some weird trick of physics that Mr. Krabs exploits to directly stab the creature while going parallel to it. Well, good on you, then.

"...This suddenly reminds me of that foul business with the number one hat, for some reason. Neptune, that was heartache and a half!"
