(expired on 2020-09-01 21:30:00) left in the round.

Don't forget y'all have an NPC action as well.

Edit: Deadline is being extended to (expired on 2020-09-02 15:00:00) as I'll be busy at the previous time.

inspiratieloos leaps forth and slashes at the Proto-G Slime. He manages to land a solid blow and slice off a part of the slime. (6 so far on the Proto-G Slime. {1}) Gamma Emerald follows up with a stab from behind. An unknown force helps guide his hand improving his accuracy. (6 + 7 = 13 so far on the Proto-G Slime {2}.) dsjstr joins into the fray and manages to cut a small piece of the slime. (13 + 3 - 1 = 15 so far on the Proto-G Slime {3}.) **The Proto-G Slime has

Despite its wounds, the Proto-G Slime presses onward and creeps adeptly towards inspiratieloos.

[Ircher]

inspiratieloos tries his best to avoid the Proto-G Slime's attack, but the slime is too relentless in its attack. **inspiratieloos has

7/20

HP left.**

dsjstr is less alert and is slow to react to Alpha's movements. **dsjstr has

5/15

HP left.**

Gamma Emerald sees the two slimes approach him. He attends to dodge out of the way of one slime only to find the other slime had predicted this. Trapped with no route of escape, Gamma Emerald suffers heavy damage. **Gamma Emerald has

6/20

HP left.**

Gamma Emerald can use active skills again.

The round ends in (expired on 2020-09-03 22:00:00) or sooner depending on how busy I am. (The Proto-G Slime is dead, and your HP and MP will be restored after this battle as this is the end of a chapter.) There is no need to continue attacking unless you aren't on my list of players that have acted at some point in this battle. That list currently consists of the following players: Gamma Emerald, Jackal711, lilith2013, Not Known 15, Formerfish, GeorgeBailey, inspiratieloos, dsjstr, the worst, and David (NPC).

[Ircher]

With one powerful assault, inspiratieloos sends the Proto-G Slime back to the earth from whence it came. A gentle breeze begins blowing into the cave. Having eliminated the source of the slimes, the cave loses its eerie quality and begins to buzz with life once more. You spend some tiem exploring the caves sights (after all, it was a lovely tourist stop before the cultists took control of it) before eventually heading back out...

Chapter 2: The Mystical Slimes has been cleared!

Your health and mana has been restored.

-Upgrade magic spell "Minor Heal All" to level 2 (4 Mana):

Heals all allies by 1d3 hitpoints.

As a note, I've said this elsewhere in the thread, but now might be a relevant time to bring it up again. Anyway, it is legal to use lower leveled versions of spells and skills; you just have to specify such when you make your action. You might use this as some actions have increased requirements when they level up (such as costing more mana).

Please notify me if I managed to miss any changes to your stats or messed up anything.

The next update of the game will likely be tomorrow or Saturday.

Chapter 3: The Occult Clan begins!

After viewing the sites at the cave, you finally decide to head back to the nearest town's inn. When you arrive, the crowd, normally quite boisterous, becomes very silent. They begin whispering to one another in hushed murmurs as they watch you pass by them. The innkeeper greets you cordially, "Well look at who it is! You know, for a while there, I was worried y'all weren't coming back; I hadn't heard anything in several days. Yet, here you are, and by the looks of it, victorious! Come, enjoy yourself for the night. Don't worry about paying; if anything, please accept this as a token of our gratitude for your efforts." You humbly accept the innkeeper's offer and present and spend the night there, regaling the townsfolk with stories of your battles against the menacing slimes and the cultists behind it all.

The party has gained 1 gold and 15 silver coins.

Early the next morning, you rise up after getting the best sleep you have gotten in days. Your leaders begins rallying you, "First goblins and then slimes. We must press onward and deal with the source of the issue. Those bizarre cultists of the Occult Clan must be dealt with." You ask the innkeeper if there were any reports of strange or unusual activities nearby. "Well aside from the slimes in the caves, we have heard some reports about unusual occurrences here." The innkeeper marks a location on your map. "Be careful now. Those cultists you met in the cave were only the start; there are bound to be many more of them equally as deadly as them." You thank the innkeeper and begin to head off. Before you go though, David stops you for a moment. "I'm sorry. As much as I would like to help, I fear for my life if I return there. They will recognize me and torture me. Furthermore, some of them were my friends, and I cannot bear myself to bring arms against them. I wish you all the best of luck on your mission." David then heads off to travel his own path.

David (NPC) has left the party.

You travel a good distance to the indicated location when you run into a small band of robed men and women. "Halt! If you wish to proceed, you must state the password!"

How shall you proceed? You could try to bluff your way through, or you could settle it the old-fashioned way. Potentially, you could solve it another way.

[Gamma Emerald]

any ideas? I don't think bluffing is going to work

[Not Known 15]

"I knew we shouldn't have gone through here to

save time

! (sigh) Let's go back and

this

time we stay on the road!"

(try to sneak back later)

[Ircher]

One of your leaders shouts loudly, "I knew we shouldn't have gone through here to save time! (sigh) Let's go back and this time we stay on the road!" You then turn around and start to leave. The robed people decide to trust you and let you leave without any trouble.

Several hours later, you return only to get apprehended by a different set of robed men and women. "Hey, wait a second... Those are the same suspicious lot that the early watch saw." They immediately draw their weapons. Unfortunately, the cultists have posted sentries throughout all times of the day.

[dsjstr]

Would we need a healer? I'm fine with taking any specialization but if we need one then that's the one I'll do

[Not Known 15]

A healer would be nice. If not, a magician. Just not a melee spec, please.
(We have one healer(Jackal) and one magician(Gamma), but Gamma was unreliable last time we needed them to chain-silence a cultist)

[Not Known 15]

We already know what a sharpshooter can do(roughly, Cultist Szyme, chapter 2), and they are blocking our initiative. Let's get that one out of the battle.

[inspiratieloos]

Should I use heavy blow on the sharpshooter?

[Gamma Emerald]

take out the Sharpshooter ASAP, if this is like EBF they can do some SERIOUS damage.

Bless can be used on the same turn to boost an action taken that turn right?

[Ircher]

Bless can be used on the same turn to boost an action taken that turn right?

That would be correct.
