Battle: Moments from Pondering THE ORB

Slight turn order: Tumblefluffs, then JOE, then Teag, then Verdana (the real one), all of whom move before anyone else.

The Tumblefluffs float to D10, and somehow use the Soggy Paper Barrier to create Cover tiles on C11, D11, E11 and E10. Then it floats back to C9 and rips Seeker4 to shreds.

Once Salt stops having 400 SHP via dead Crucible Knight and Verdana has removed his Nothing Ventured, Venia moves to L14 and Separates in a southwest (bottom-right) direction; she has a base of 60-62 damage, she benefits from Ordo (and its tripled effect for a +60% mod) plus Empowered5 (+25%) and the Ignihorn's trait (+40%), and will hit Salt, Destroyer1, Shardnado1 and Symphonia2-her allies are protected by the friendly fireproof nature of Separation.

"... I have never been more thankful that you just did that," Venia says, now alleviated of having Maria in the midst of combat.

The Yggcrawler backs off to I10, not confident in the odds of surviving a counter from Salt.

Shop

"Heeeeeeey! I disagree with this! There isn't a, rating thingy on this!"

Maria buys a Distress Beacon. She also buys one more Smash Ball, because 800 credits is nothing right now.

Bauhaus strikes Salt with a Greatsword!

Destiny moves to I14 and Starstrike Basic attacks Salt before retreating to G14.

--------------------

Destiny(?) approaches Chloe once more, green energy crackling around her. A voice that is not clearly Destiny's speaks.

HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE KIND CONTIRUBTION OF LIQUID FOR THE ALL NEW ITI FLAVORED MONSTER ENERGY, NOW SOLD AT LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORES
NOW I NEED SOME VEGETABLES GET ME GREEN ONIONS WOMAN GO GO GO I AM MAKING THE RAMEN OF GODS
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT WHY DON'T YOU GET SOME OF THAT WOODREAVER MEAT

what is he doing this time

House

Blacklight almost immediately rolls his eyes at Sakura.

"For your information, I was already in the area. I was simply not paying attention to your conversation because I had my own one going with... should I call her a compatriot? I'd like to."

Blacklight smiles a little, then shakes his head and continues.

"Besides speaking with her, I also had to do some repair work on the house. A tabletopian kill squad attacked it last night, and not all of it was properly handled. Now that I have resolved that to a high enough personal standard, I'd like to check in on this conversation now."

---

"..."

Loading.

Zone 6 - The Eclipsed Citadel

Lato stares at Marron. As much as the yellow-themed lady would rather not admit it, she has a point.

"...I suppose I cannot expect everyone to share my mentality... Very well. Let us find an alternate resolution."

Lato focuses, her weapon forms manifesting in the air around her body. They all glow faintly with elemental energies, and apparently something resembling psionics...

"I acknowledge that I am first and foremost a weapon. However, I would not like to be defined only by my ability to kill. So, instead of that... Perhaps you could assist me in adapting the ritual to draw from myself, rather than you?"

---

The Past - Zone 2 - Whispering Library

It's the right place and about the right time, but Calibri is still taken slightly off guard by seeing the Itis that he decidedly did NOT come here for.

"???"

Still, he can't remain confused for long. He sticks to the shadows, moving around until he has a good position. Then, he hides.

...Literally under a desk. Marvelous. That'll totally hide him. Granted, there are a few of those around, and without specifying which one it might actually be a really good hiding spot, but it does sound lame as hell when said that bluntly.

---

Battle in the Sphere - Moments From Despair

Verdana grins as he feels the power of Fervent Emotion surge through him.

"Oh, now this is quite something! Hah... Yeah, I like this. Wonder what it actually means in practical terms... And hey, look at that, a punching bag right there to try it out on!"

Before anyone else in the conga line of "people who want to beat salt's ass" can move, Verdana chugs an Eviscerated Can of Bepis, then he uses the power of 7 total MOV to get to I13.

"Watch my AC."

He then uses a Galahad's Shield modifier Shield Slam to simultaneously take his AC to 35 while punching Salt in the face. By my estimates, buff levels and the damage decrease will make that around (19-19) Crushing for Salt to receive. Or (17-17) after AC.

Gaia Eruption goes off, dealing (10-12) Earth damage to Salt and Destroyer1. To Salt, that's (8-10) after AC.

Pyralux Bombardment then spits two fireballs onto Salt. Which, for the record, is (12-12) each before AC, for another roughly 20 damage.

Kalis1 waits for Teag to be on D10, then uses an Autoloader on them.

Kalis2 casts Simulacrum on Seeker3, spawning the copy on I8. Then Kalis2 moves to O14 and casts Force Nail with ricochet on THE ORB.

Kalis1 moves to G6, then casts Pow Hammer as a bonus action on Saltling3 with ricochet. Then they backtrack to H7, cast Focus Energy as a bonus action on Hexagon, cast Riposte, and Meditate. Kind of hilarious how much I can do in a turn before meditating.

Despair Battle
Daskter activates Special Unity.

1st Rocketeer moves to (P12) and uses Elemental Splitshot (3 attack spell) to hit Salty.

Daskter uses bonus action Terraform to turn (N11) the space that Veteran Rocketeer occupies to a Power Well, and (P12) to a Power Well. They move to (Q11) and mediate.

Veteran Rocketeer uses Fortify then Elemental Splitshot on Salty. If there's no mana for that, skip fortify.

Auth puts up his hand. He wasn't really going to try to take the silver ring, he was just trying to see what it was. Auth then observes the Stoat card... "talking"? His eyes lock on it, but he does his best not to actually alert Leshy to what he's just seen. Auth shuffles his hand, and then, in this exact order, makes the following plays:

Play Island.
Move to Battle Phase. Target Leshy with Splatter from Piplup.
Move over one tile East, Slash Step through Flamvel Firedog and the Burning Pillar.
Enter Main Phase Two, Play Swords of Revealing Light and Geck on the far left.
End Turn, preparing to draw a Swamp and Blackmail.

Not that, of course, Auth knows what the next two cards are going to be, but the card gods have determined that this is what is to be. Someone, somewhere must have a plan. He continues to monitor the Stoat for any other advice it might provide. Auth thinks his current plays are pretty good.

---

As for battle actions...

Auth floats down to O9, and targets Salt with Liberation. It's a big light laser. All damage helps.

After Venia, Adria, Marron, and Daskter have all gone:
-Ignihorn1 moves to K14 and basicattacks Salt.
-Remiel Relinquish-Mantles Ignihorn2, which promptly "donates" all its MP.
(note: i don't think AC buffs or debuffs apply to the scaling, afaik)
-Aoki uses long-range Dance Your Tune on Ignihorn2, then refills back to full Melody, both with Remiel's MP. Ignihorn2 sprints to K16.

At any point in turn order:
-Ramiel basicattacks the Orb. If it's not alive or otherwise can't be attacked, just pick something else I guess.
-Both Verdanalts... meditate, I guess?

Remiel and Ramiel also both generate missiles.

Battle: Yet Another- oh wait nevermind... Moments From Despair

As soon as Irongutta got his bearings in whatever new plane he found himself blipped to, it was already exploding violently. And that wasn't his fault for once.

Wounded and disoriented further, he staggered back into the previous battle at M10. After (presumably) receiving some healing from Echoss, he returns to what he was doing before: beating the ever-loving gorilla out of Salt.

"Ya really don't know when to quit, Salt, an' I'm more than happy to beat lesson after lesson into ya!"

Irongutta moves right on over to J14 to do just that, swinging at Salt with a basic attack.

Hexagon and Mexagon's missiles were not spawned. I uh, meant to fix this myself but :carldead:

Hexagon:
- Royal Insurance to M10.
- Foam Veteran Rocketeer (Before they act.)

Mexagon:
- Foam Chloe.

<ROUND 331>

JOE performs politics. He accepts the 30 Flux gift from the Cultists, vowing that he'll stay out. The cultists nod, hand him the bucket, then shove him into a Projection Box. He pops out in the Endless Gardens, totally clear of the Catacombs. This brings his collection efforts to their apex, resulting in 111 total Flux. That's... probably enough to buy everything he could ever want, right?

...JOE feels that he should never, ever return to the Catacombs. Just a gut feeling. He may or may not be turned into a delicious slurry or something. But surely, he won't need to return there... right?

---

Nia is asked to do some science! Take this Apocalypse Nia and an Engineered Burrito. Upgrade them. What could possibly go wrong?

NIA: Eh? They're already upgraded.
NIA: Can't upgrade Tier 8 items, sorry!

...The Perfect Burrito and the Rapture Nia have both spontaneously manifested within the inventory. The Rapture Nia (still a bomb) is rather casually snacking on said burrito. The tiniest, cutest nibbles! I mean, it's probably a bigger threat than the Sphere itself, but at least this apocalypse in a cute lil' form has rollback netcode. Be sure to watch the Rapture Nia carefully- she needs plenty of love and care in order to not end the world.

Ah, Echoss also takes time out of his busy schedule to check up on Ette. How's she doing? He'd like to check up on a few people before things come to an ender, whether through victory or oblivion. Ette is "busy" admiring a... erm, let's call it a "spiral" of mollusks. They splash around in a dry fountain, having a whale of a time. Ette barely notices Echoss's approach, at least until he speaks up.

ETTE: O-Oh! You scared me a bit, Mr. Echoss!
ETTE: Hi hi! I've been really good, thank you for asking!
ETTE: I've always wanted to visit a big city like this one! Though, I wish everyone was having as good a day as these mollusks here...
ETTE: I don't get why people would attack and ruin a happy city like this. It's stupid.
ETTE: The people of the city didn't do anything wrong, right?
ETTE: Ette doesn't get politics, sometimes...

Ette bops a mollusk on a shell. It makes a curious sound that's probably akin to a purr.

ETTE: But I know we'll be able to make things better, right?
ETTE: If sis sticks around Sussui, I'm gonna do my best to help fix the city!
ETTE: Ette's gonna be... a real estate agent? Yeah!

...For now though, those problems can wait. These mollusks need petting. No real point in fixing things if the planet gets obliterated first, right? But yeah. Mollusks. Important. pat pat

Adria edits her counter! Thanks to the power of magic and time, the counter is immediately changed in-combat. Crazy how things like that work.

Elsewhere / elsewhen, Sophia and Sakura continue to rant at one another endlessly. Sophia recommends to Sakura that she go talk to the Highchair herself if she truly believes that they're mind controlled, or something like that. The princess scoffs. Also, why's she care so much about mind control?

SAKURA: What's so wrong with bringing up mind control? It's something the Iti can do, so why can't you guys do it?
SAKURA: But sure, sure. Bring them over and maybe we'll talk.

SAKURA: Also, I guess it'd kinda suck if we all firebombed each other into submission, sure.
SAKURA: But we can't just let them win without effort, right?
SAKURA: If one side uses it, the other side has to. Or they die.
SAKURA: The End War was like that too, idiot. Both sides made plenty use of incendiaries.
SAKURA: Even if both sides agreed that they were "banned". Everyone's gotta burn something down. Nobody's innocent.

Sakura sighs, glaring at Sophia. she's so smol

SAKURA: ...Why am I even arguing with you? You're just a stupid kid.
SAKURA: Grow up, right? Don't take everything so personally.

...While Sakura maybe gets jumped by a child, over at the Church of Helix, Hannah settles down. Whilst talking about settling down. She kinda likes this planet, despite all of its faults, war crimes, and purple gremlin goblin dudes. Chi ponders the subject briefly.

CHI: Barely any outsiders have settled down on this planet, with a few notable exceptions.
CHI: I suspect however, that things will be changing soon enough.
CHI: Perhaps you could even get official citizenship without needing to join the Highchair, hah.
CHI: I'll certainly put in a good word for you, at least. I'm sure Lord Cypress would as well.

Will Hannah join Marron on surfing the housing market?

---

Maria purchases a Distress Beacon. And a Smash Ball. This totals up to 1,600 Credits, which Maria hands to YV. Truly, she's getting quite good at this whole "capitalism" thing. Perhaps for her next act, she'll be able to buy out YV's business, becoming the owner of the Triangle Emporium. Just as Chaos planned. :chaoschaos:

---

Not!Destiny asks Chloe for more deranged things. First bath water, now... green onions? Chloe screams.

CHLOE: D-Degenerate! I-I can't keep sullying m-my reputatio-
CHLOE: ...Oh. Onions.
CHLOE: Y-Yeah! I can get you onions. That's fine. And some Woodreaver meat. Whatever that comes from.
CHLOE: I'll be back soon!

A few hours later (with a healthy dose of time dilation applied to fix the timeline), Chloe returns with a whole Woodreaver, an impressive amount of blood splashed across her clothes. It seems a tiny bit of it is hers. The rest of it, judging from the state of the Woodreaver...

CHLOE: ...
CHLOE: I-I'm... never doing s-shopping for you again...
CHLOE: A-A shark! Y-You made me h-hunt a shark!
CHLOE: I-I can swim, b-but fighting underwater i-is totally different!
CHLOE: A-And I'm... still y-yet to get the onions.

20 Woodreaver Meat and 10 Woodreaver Scales enter the inventory. Not wanting to get the onions herself, she places an order with Chaos. 50 Green Onions are aggressively thrown at Chloe, which bounce off her head and into the inventory. Chloe takes a moment to then sit down and stew in her trauma.

Ingredients in hand, Not!Destiny creates the Ramen of the Gods. The recipe for this is quite simple. Start with a rich seafood stock. Add plenty of green onions and a spoon of minced garlic. AND A GUN! Upon slamming one of the Elite Chairian Weapons into the ramen bowl, it shatters. No choice but to store the entirety of the ramen within the barrel of one of those Splinter Rifles. But that'll only enhance the flavor, right?

---

Blacklight rolls his eyes at Sakura. He wasn't eavesdropping, at least so he claims. Sakura huffs.

SAKURA: Sure. Whatever you say, creep.
SAKURA: Why the hell did a Tabletopian Killsquad go after you guys, though?
SAKURA: They haven't directly operated here since... well, the death of IKEA.
SAKURA: Or his supposed death, anyway. Apparently they keep his head in a jar, on life support.
SAKURA: Pretty crazy conspiracy theory if you ask me, though.

...How'd she miss the fact that IKEA's head canister was lying in the middle of the living room? Also, how's she missing the screams that are coming from there right now? Maybe someone should go check up on him.

Meanwhile, Lato asks Marron if she could perhaps help refactor the ritual for whatever sort of magical system she uses. Marron rummages through the inventory, soon pulling out the Body Creation Scroll from back in the Whispering Library. She also pulls out her own spellsheet- a literal sheet of durable, rugged cloth that she's drawn on with her own blood the runes for the spell.

MARRON: I mean, I can't exactly help you transcribe it to your system, but maybe seeing my work will help?
MARRON: Got the original here, too.
MARRON: I'll stick around to help if I can, though. But really, if you want help, go grab Omo. She's the one who transcribed the damn thing, and probably tried it herself.
MARRON: Or maybe like, Auth. He's the super healer guy! He probably knows what he's doin'.

Marron sits down cross-legged by Lato's side, reading over both variants of the spell. Perhaps Lato has a few burning questions to ask?

Finally, over in the Past Whispering Library, Calibri takes cover under a desk. A perfect hiding spot, were Pop and Pip not commiting vehicular manslaughter against hordes of Seekers. The car suddenly screeches out of control due to the raw amounts of Thyme Matter caked into the grooves of the wheels, slamming into the desk where Calibri is hiding. He's rather immediately knocked out.

...When he comes to, he finds that he's been thrown just outside the Whispering Library, miraculously uneaten. His time machine is mysteriously absent, and the forms that were once Pop and Pip appear to have been replaced with Seekers roughly cosplaying as the two of them. It occurs to Calibri that these were likely the two entities that Venia murdered before getting into combat with Droplet and Daikon. Dare he ask where the originals went...?

Though a rift in time, Chaos's hand pokes through near Calibri's position. He throws him a new time machine, before sticking his head through the rift as well. Though he's still smiling, it's an unamused smile. How does that work? I don't know.

CHAOS: bruh
CHAOS: [t]ime [t]ravel has huge fees y'know
CHAOS: a hundred dollars per minu[t]e
CHAOS: don'[t] [t]hink i didn'[t] no[t]i[c]e you he[c]king off and [t]rying to ge[t] a free [t]ime [t]rip
CHAOS: legally [t]hough unless you ge[t] ba[c]k [t]o our [t]ime i [c]an'[t] [c]harge you [t]hough
CHAOS: so don'[t] lose [t]his se[c]ond ma[c]hine
CHAOS: i only have like fif[t]y lef[t] and [t]hey're all limi[t]ed edi[t]ion ba[c]k [t]o [t]he fu[t]ure mer[c]handise
CHAOS: so be [c]areful
CHAOS: okay i will now fail to supervise you goodbye

Chaos hecks off back through the rift in time. Looking down at his watch slash time machine slash Back To The Future merchandise, he estimates he has about five minutes before Venia comes over here, murders the two "Eliti", and Droplet arrives. Now get to it!

---

Auth continues his tenure as the KING OF GAMES. To begin, he plays an Island for more Blue Mana. In his Battle Phase, he gets his Piplup (named Pikachu) to use Splatter on Leshy, dealing 1 Heart of damage to them. He then moves a tile to the east and uses Step Slash! Lunging forward, he catches both the Flamvell Firedog and the Burning Pillar, destroying only the Firedog. Apparently, one can't directly attack a Permanent. But still, killing the dog is pretty good! This also draws him a Prize Card: a Prinplup!

Auth then plays Swords of Revealing Light, as well as a Geck on the far left. As he plays the Geck, he's able to search his deck for the card he desires most: a Swamp! And he somehow ensures that he'll draw Blackmail next turn, too. In retaliation, the Figure spends 1 Quanta to use Steam Vents, a 1-cost Fast Minor Power! He pokes the Geck with it, destroying it. He draws one of his prize cards, plays another Burning Pillar, and then drops down an Axe of Despair, which he equips. Unfortunately, the Swords of Revealing Light prevents him from attacking. He ends his turn, generating 3 Fire Quanta.

Come Auth's turn, he draws Blackmail (as predicted), as well as a weird card he doesn't recognize. A Major Power card, apparently. How does this game work, exactly...?

---

<MOMENTS FROM DESPAIR, ROUND 5>
The Naclestial has been dispatched, once and for all! With them out of the way, all that's left is to kill an absolutely absurd amount of Iti so that nobody gets overwhelmed. Another Scourgeking has arrived, so be sure to dispose of them as quickly as possible! Other than that... just survive! The Iti won't let up in the slightest, so neither should you.

my post for round 331

Battle - Moments From Despair:

Keane Quickfires the bancannon on Meteos4 and applies Focus Energy and Zillycharm on Marron (26 MP)

Once Defiler4 is Frozen, Asha switches to Blunt Stance, moves to Y14 (attacking Defiler3 with the Brewing Hat once she's in range), before attacking it normally, applying Collapsed.

------
This is just here in case the plan changes and I need my old action, so just ignore it.

Moments From Despair

Adria starts sweating quite profusely after almost accidentally killing an ally.

ADRIA: S-sorry! I'll... um... try to aim it away from you next time...

Adria casts Nanomend Duct Tape on the 3* Rocketeer, then backs up to (P8). She then uses Full Attention To Praise!, then Symbiote on herself, with at least 6 Buff Levels. The Symbiote then uses Stab on Destroyer4.

---

Saku-

Dorothy immediately rushes to the toppled canister from her perch atop the stairs, hopping down and landing with barely a thud. She rushes to behind Cupcake and yanks him off.

DOROTHY: No! Bad kitty!
DOROTHY: Go downstairs, you!

Dorothy places Cupcake at the stairway and gently nudges them down a bit. And not a second sooner, she runs top the canister and carefully places IKEA's head back into the canister. After a quick healing bubble to patch up the biting and claw marks, she seals the canister again. Assuming it's a sealing type of canister, anyway.

But now that the canister's sealed(?) and the head secured... what now? Maybe she should find a kittyproof place to put it. So she takes up the canister and starts wandering around the house, looking for a decent spot.

...

Sakura, for realsies

When questioned as to why they wouldn't use mind control, Sophia peers dead straight into Sakura's eyes.

SOPHIA: At best it can't feel anything but weird and uncomfy.
SOPHIA: An' at worst?
SOPHIA: It's torture. An' my auntie can tell you that herself.

And the rest just gets the biggest shrug as clearly this isn't going anywhere. And, of course, ending with an insult. Sophia crosses her arms, angy.

SOPHIA: Well, this "stupid" lil' kid ain't gettin' fussy about a dumb salad!
SOPHIA: Don' blame us if you get hungry!
SOPHIA: blep~

Sophia sticks her tongue out mockingly at Sakura, then turns to leave.

---

Hannah

Hannah smiles as Chi mentions it might be possible to get citizenship out here with the inevitable changes.

HANNAH: Really? ...That'd be nice.
HANNAH: Would remove the need to keep my existence here secret, at least.
HANNAH: ...I'd definitely still want a way to go back and forth to and from my current home, though.
HANNAH: There's... at least one person from there I'd wanna meet up with every now and again.
HANNAH: If the guys back home haven't solved teleportation, maybe I could commission Cypress or something.

Celly

The distinct yet faint scratches of a pen writing on paper could be heard from Shelly’s cell, stopping and starting at inconsistent intervals. Anyone looking into her cell would find that Shelly’s plopped down in a corner, quietly writing in some sort of journal.

It wouldn’t be too difficult to pry on it a bit...

Of course I won't return to the catacombs! I made a deal, after all!
Instead, I head to the citadel, where I seal up the water line with Terraform and start mopping away the water on the floor. Sure, there aren't any more plants being Harmed by this, but it's still not what this farm should be, and as the god of farms-or-something I can't allow that! Once I'm done, it should be principally possible to replant the plants that were here. If we can figure out which plants those were. And have access to the appropriate species. and the correct fertilisers. It's progress!

Also, to my knowledge, there are no objections to the selection of the 50-Flux "Her Gaze" Ainifni Lab upgrade, since I did gather fifty flux, which would not have otherwise been gathered, myself, for the express purpose of doing that. Presuming there are indeed no objections, which I think is the case, I think it should be researched now. no time like the present!

[BATTLE]
My GP is listed as 1 with 6 regen for some reason and I know regen is max 4 so I'm going to have to infer my GP amount from context
last round I used 3 of what was regenned, and what was already there, so yep, 1 is correct before regen.
plus regen is 4.
so 5 is how much GP I can use (plus up to 2 if I kill things).
First things first I swift-cast Terraform, dooring R6 and R7 and Lavaing N6 and N5, I guess
After that ...
[Battleplan1]

I put 5 GP into Cinderfruit for +10 basic attack damage, use my special, alter reality to turn Enlightened(which should be at Ten and Knowledgeable at Nine because when I used Deep Thinking the second time, with Knowledgeable Eight, it crossed the Int threshold for an additional 1 intensity) into Empowered, and step through the vortex to M20(which is within a ZoC and ends my move phase of course). I proceed to basic attack, as many times as necessary due to tap (and with slashing damage where possible, which is all of them except everbloom 2 at this stage), Zweet1, and Symphonia5 (buy 2 more Cinderfruit with the 2 GP this gets me), then everbloom2 and Everbloom1.

at this point, Verdana3 Pyralux Bombards(with fire) Everbloom 4, bringing it just low enough for me to down it with a fire basic attack, which- assuming that I am correct on the damage dealt and my own output- I do.

then I eat a Warpmelon, teleporting to O22, and basic attack Zweet3, Vesperia3(with fire damage), and everbloom3, again as many times as necessary.
I then use the warp ring to teleport to T19, and basic attack Pillager4, Predator 3, Versperia2(this Versperia I can do with slashing), and Symph7, as many times as necessary.
I then eat another Warpmelon, teleporting to U16, and basic attack Gotou3, Symph8, Seeker24, and Pillager3 as necessary;
eat another warpmelon, and teleport to X13, where I basic attack Reborn4(with light damage), Reborn3(with light damage), Reclaim8, Reclaim5 and Seeker10 as many times as necessary,
and eat my last warpmelon (none of my battle orders involve using any Fruit that I can recall or see; I started with 2; and I used deep thinking twice in this battle. probably I just didn't get a fruit the second time because I didn't mention the fruit in my order that round.) to teleport to V10, and basic attack seeker10, Meteos6(although I've been only attacking range 2, my basic attack is range 3 so the altitude is no issue), and Seeker2, as many times as necessary. I then activate royal insurance, teleporting to Q9, and basic attack Seeker7, Seeker1, and Destroyer4 as many times as necessary.
I then cast double mobile super illusory trap to N6 and O6.
is there an achievement for killing 27 enemies in one round with seperate attacks?
[/battleplan1]
[battleplan2]
battleplan 2 exists but probably will not see use, it's basically the same thing but it follows the path in the opposite direction, it gets the jotun but misses 3 everblooms and two reclaimed.
[/battleplan2]
[battleplan3]
battleplan 3 is for verdana to also use the warp ring for 2 extra tiles of movement which can either save one fruit (at the cost of 1 vesperia and reclaimed surviving) or down an extra symph and seeker. I'm not inclined to type it out in full but here's an image.

Verdana3 uses the Ainifni if I went with battleplan1 and nobody else used it, then walks through the Vortex to K8 and, I dunno, newton hammers the top left or something if I don't think of anything better.

Moments From Despair
Last Dream Defiler2.
Power Nap self.

BATTLES - MOMENTS FROM DESPAIR

Star flies to F7, nabbing the item cache as they move, and basic attacks Symphonia 9, dealing Slashing damage with their glaive-form weapon. They throw an Infinisyringe at Teag and retreat to I10.

Destiny moves to G9, Gravity Crushes Reclaimed 2, 4, then 3, waits for Teag, then uses Heat Death on Scourgeking1. After Auth acts, she retreats to H9 uses her item action to use a Disposable Rocket Launcher on Reborn 2.

IRONGUTTA: After JOE, move to O23 and basic attack Scourgeking1.
VENIA: After Irongutta, move to L19, Kickstart your Heart, cast Phantasmal Force 2 times on Scourgeking1, then Needle Conjuration Material Transfer it, targetting Irongutta for the heals. Guard I guess.
DASKTER: Terraform L5-P6 with Lava. Retreat to O12 after Keane moves.
3 STAR ROCKETEER: Move to Q13, Elemental Barrage corpses of Reborn 3 and 4 as well as Defiler 4.

---------------

Destiny buys Improve Energy Efficiency twice, then buys Blessed Waters as many times as possible.

Teag pops Royal Insurance to get the hell away from the Thyme Matter and heads back to O8. He then casts Fury on Destiny, also using Self-Fury.

Sophia:


Ette:
Echoss settles down next to Ette, watching the mollusks as well.
I think, perhaps, it's okay that you don't understand politics.
People can be very unpleasant, and being able to handle and channel that so that people can remain cooperative and civilized...
Well, sometimes the world needs someone who can trick people into doing what's best for themselves.
But the world can always use more people like you, Miss Needleworker. Who just want to help everyone get along, and be happier.
I'll be sure to visit if you and your sister stay here after all is said and done, if that's okay at least.


Moments From Despair:


CONSUMABLES (maybe)
