Level Up 2 - Finished

[inspiratieloos]

We have a morale spell already, so the scrolls will only save a little bit of mana.

The fury crystal seems like the only item that can really turn a loss into a win.

[lilith2013]

Fury crystal + curing potion? That leaves us with 1 silver. How many copper = 1 silver?

[Gamma Emerald]

100 copper equals 1 silver

The conversion ratios are in the shop post

[lilith2013]

Maybe 1 scroll of awakening and 1 scroll of inspiration with what’s left?

[Not Known 15]

We have a cure spell and an antifear spell, but we might need them regardless if our magic ends up disabled - we already had weapons disabled in the past...

I’m okay with this

[lilith2013]

Okay the deadline is in 20 mins. If no one shows up to dissent before then, I guess I'll post to finalize this:

fury crystal
curing potion
scroll of awakening
scroll of inspiration

[lilith2013]

alright guess i'm doing it.

"Thank you for your business. Good luck against the cultists and slimes," Havner states as he collects your money and counts off ten copper coins in change. You proceed further into the cave. A few more slimes appear, but they are no match for your prowess. Soon, the tunnel widens and you enter a very spacious room. Inside, you see two figures talking to each other. You recognize one of the figures. It is the same cultist who ordered Cultist Andromeda to unleash the Hydra Slime upon you. She is in the same dark robes as she was earlier. The other figure is also wearing robes of a slightly lighter shade. You stop for a moment and attempt to overhear their conversation. Sadly, they are talking a volume too low for you to eavesdrop.

You boldly walk forth into the room and notice that the air around you has that same energizing quality you have experienced throughout the caves. "They finally came! I'm impressed you made it this far," states the unknown figure upon seeing you. "How are you here? I thought I told Cultist Andromeda to kill you! She'll pay for her incompetence!" shouts the familiar figure angrily. "Well since you are here, how about we chat for a moment. You know, before we try to end each others' lives?" suggests the unknown figure. While still on high alert, you decide to take him up on the offer. Each of you introduces your name. The lighter-robed figure responds, "So you are the incredible band of adventurers that has been disrupting our plans. My name is not important; you may simply call me the Slimemancer because I have been creating these slimes. To the right of me here is my good friend Cultist Zykkia. Well, introduction time is over; I am afraid this is the end of the road for you all." The Slimemancer then turns and looks directly at David and states, "Especially for you. We shall have prepare a special death for your treachery." You suddenly notice that the two of them are not alone; a very small slime and a very large slime accompany them.

David, who was not paying attention to the conversation, suddenly distributes your leaders some scrolls. On them are inscribed information about the Slimemancer and Cultist Zykkia. "This is all I know. Be careful; these cultists are bound to have some tricks up their sleeves."

If a sleeping character is attacked (including by spells), they immediately wake up.

Charmed characters attack allies (during the opposite team's turn; that is, charmed player characters will attack at the same time as monsters) until their morale rises back up to above zero. Charmed characters' actions do not count against the action threshold.

NotMySpamAccount is caught off guard, but luckily, the slime did not come close to any vital organs. **NotMySpamAccount has

[Gamma Emerald]

Stat point into MP btw

I’ll figure out a move later

[lilith2013]

Did our cooldowns reset or no?

[Ircher]

Cooldowns always reset at the end of a battle, so yes.

[Formerfish]

What are you guys thinking?

I could go two ways, tornado some mofos or double slash a bitch.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

The tiny slime is immune to tornado due to Quick Strike, the big slime might be immune to stun. Please no tornado.

[inspiratieloos]

Murder the Slimemancer ASAP?

We have an about 60% chance of killing him in one turn if we throw Heavy Blow + 3 Double Slashes + David's double shot at him. Then we possibly have some aid actions and some tricky dice abilities to mitigate bad rolls to improve the odds.

I feel uneasy about the tiny slime, though. If it has an ability that protects the slimemancer(it has quick strike, it acts before us) then... Don`t forget that David warned us about some tricks he doesn`t know of.

[inspiratieloos]

Tiny Slime doesn't have mana so probably not too many exotic abilities, even if we fail, all we're wasting is some overall damage from stacking penalty and we can potentially stop him from getting his mass summon off.

[Gamma Emerald]

Silence also exists as an option

Good point. Gamma could cast silence the next 7 rounds to prevent that cultist from acting.

Cultist is immune to crowd control.

Cultist is immune to crowd control.

- Passive Skill "In Control": Crowd control effects last for one less round than normal on this creature.

Silence lasts two rounds.

Wrong cultist:
- Passive Skill "Control Mastery": This creature is immune to all crowd-control effects (including stuns and silencing).

That`s the slime master... I was not talking about the leader, I was talking about the cultist that has a chance to disable us ALL very fast if they can cast spells.
