Level Up 2 - Finished

[Formerfish]

/in

[Formerfish]

Should I know anything going into this, or is it an I'll pick it up type of thing?

Someone direct me.

[Formerfish]

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Attack delta

[Formerfish]

Maybe I take a shot at KOing Delta?

[Formerfish]

Wait,

@Mod Can I even attack like that again?

[Formerfish]

Is that like the only way I can attack right now?

Can I look around the cavern at all to see if there is something lying around?

[Formerfish]

ok, thanks.

I just read that its only 3 actions a round, my bad for jumping in there like that.

Ill do what you guys tell me to.

[Formerfish]

Do you wait for all 3 actions to be made to run them all at once, or do you do them as they come?

[Formerfish]

I look around trying to find something in the cave, anything I can use as a weapon. The light is so dim that other than the strange bioluminescence the... Blobs? are exhibiting, nothing can be seen. Fish takes one step back, and aims for what he hopes is the nuts and kicks with all his might.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[Formerfish]

That was delta im kicking in the jimmies.

[Formerfish]

Nah, im just a moron and dont ever use dice

[Formerfish]

Is 4 good? I can roll again?

[Formerfish]

he might be waiting on 1 or 2 more moves, depending on how worsts gets treated.

[Formerfish]

Here we go, here we go, here we goooooooooooooo!

[Formerfish]

If you tried kicking the slime, you would hurt yourself. The skin of the slimes is corrosive.

Did i forget my clothes at home too? Fish wakes up to the sound of a far off battle. Incensed with blood lust he runs straight through the front door without even dressing first. He must engage in battle.

[Formerfish]

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

beta

[Formerfish]

shite. I hope this is a dream. God why did I come into this cave naked and fearless?

[Formerfish]

Everyone has clothes.

Can I just be in a loin cloth and booties?

[Formerfish]

Highest possible attackers on Charlie?

Who would the best 3 be?

[Formerfish]

Oh, and as a warning/heads up, Formerfish's attack would not bypass defenses.

Is that because of my only being level 1?

[Formerfish]

Good luck gents! Lets get that lovely XP!

[Formerfish]

Fire at Charlie

Original Roll String: 1d3 (STATIC)

1 3-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Also I'd say someone heal Fish but it seems if he doesn't act they won't attack him

Let me take the hits anyways, if i die, i start out at the same lvl, and as long as I get a shot in i should share xp

[Formerfish]

A rage unleashes deep from within the worst. The living embodiment of his name comes forth and does massive damage to that fucker Charlie!

[Formerfish]

Didnt you read, im cannon fodder in a loin cloth and booties.

[Formerfish]

I didnt say send them my way, just that I will stand with you guys.

Jeez, i see how the new guy gets treated.

[Formerfish]

Also curious if anyone caught the reference I made with how I posted my action.

I assumed you were using the fire spell?

[Formerfish]

Godspeed my new friends. This guy definitely has balls to kick.

[Formerfish]

I just healed when I lvled up. I can take some damage if needed for later rounds.

[Formerfish]

I'd also like to get a slice of that sweet xp.

[Formerfish]

I'd also like to get a slice of that sweet xp.

I don't think this is the time.

[Formerfish]

Its cool, they are fighting something that we cant really fight right now, I just started myself and am only a lvl above you.

Everyone else is like lvl4 or higher.

Hang tight and something will open up for us.

[Formerfish]

Are we stuck on who should go, or has that person just not confirmed yet?

[Formerfish]

Priv and I could attack first and get a shot in while we are debating/waiting?

[Formerfish]

We could technically do the same thing, you just wouldnt get his inventory.

But we could both do that, take one shot each and then gtfo

[Formerfish]

- Gain magic spell "Examine Creature" (1 Mana): Equivalent to using the level 1 active skill "Scry Monster". In addition, the creature's inventory will be revealed.

[Formerfish]

I get that, but we could be the first wave, get beaten up and you guys could make a better decision going forward with what to do depending on how fucked up we get.

[Formerfish]

Like what if casting that kind of spell backfires somehow and hurts the person casting it?

Would you want one of our heavy hitters to be affected or one of the peons who just joined?

[Formerfish]

Generals dont send their best forces in first, they send the ones who are expendable to test the lines and strength of their enemies.

[Formerfish]

You could consider us scouts. We may bring back some info, we may get our hearts torn out of our chests by this cultist for a ritualistic sacrifice.

[Formerfish]

If we die, we dont lose as much and you guys have more to gain from it. Its literally a win win for you guys at the top and the only way we get a chance at gaining xp here.

We have to work together to win, and being on the sidelines isnt exactly what I had in mind when i left my warm house to come help you guys in this fucking cave and those weird fucking slimes. What the fuck were they? What the fuck is going on? I think im freaking out. Why the fuck am I offering to try and scry this fucking dude. Oh my god. Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god.Oh my god. ::rocks back and forth::

[Formerfish]

Im glad I have my ducky with me. He always calms me down. You understand what im saying right ducky? I just want me and my friend to be able to help and this may be the only way.

::eyes welling with tears::

Ducky?

[Formerfish]

send in 1 low level and 1 high?

[Formerfish]

Hope I live?

[Formerfish]

Go team!

[Formerfish]

Well
Now we know quite a lot.
So I am for a double bless on me and James so we can kick his butt.
Also knowing that if we can get him down to 1 HP in one turn we win is good.

What do you thnk about throwing the low guys out there for 2 rounds to try and get the xp?

[Formerfish]

Is the xp split like a pie where it has a finite amount to go around, or do we just get a certain amount based on activity and lvl?

[Formerfish]

Is the xp split like a pie where it has a finite amount to go around, or do we just get a certain amount based on activity and lvl?

It's like a pie in that it is shared; however, I also adjust individual experience based on player level. If you haven't noticed, each enemy has a level (in parenthesis generally at the start of the line), and the average enemy level becomes the target level. If you are below the target level, you gain more xp and vice-versa.

Makes sense, like a multiplier.

[Formerfish]

And when does HP restore? After this guy?

[Formerfish]

I'm for the let the new guy and I get our licks in and get out, then let big boys mop up.

[Formerfish]

[Formerfish]

[Formerfish]

Anyone be mad if I Leroy Jenkins the shit out of this and just rush in to attack?

[Formerfish]

Well that's kinda shitty of you. Only thing that would happen is I die.

[Formerfish]

Like in all seriousness, what's the worst that happens if the low lvl guys attack for 2 rounds? You have to wait til the next round of dudes to kill this guy?

[Formerfish]

We all get to play and we all get a chance at moving forward. It even says in the OP that we need to work together to move up.

[Formerfish]

You don't think 15 hit points keeps me alive through 2 rounds?

[Formerfish]

And how does me dying hurt the team?

[Formerfish]

And maybe we can trigger him to use his other potion, like draining a shotgun trap.

[Formerfish]

Ok.

[Formerfish]

I missed the part about surrendering. I just saw in the OP it would take 5 of us to die to lose.

I guess the surrender thing is specific for this dude?

[Formerfish]

So me dying wouldn't make that much of a difference?

And 5xp is a lot to me right now, I just lvled up to 2 with 2xp.

[Formerfish]

The 1st set lived, so they could go back in if they needed to. We have 8 slots to use on this guy.

Let's use em.

[Formerfish]

The 1st set lived, so they could go back in if they needed to. We have 8 slots to use on this guy.

Let's use em.

fine, but our lvl 4 players with low hp - like me - and our lvl 5 players with low HP should certainly avoid this fight.

That's what I was just looking at. TW and a few others were lower than 5hp.

[Formerfish]

We could mix it up, one high lvl with a lower one, the lower one can be there to potentially draw fire away from the higher guy?

[Formerfish]

I think you guys know what Im down for.

Most of it is for shit posting, the rest though, the rest is for clowning.

[Formerfish]

So if Amze, James or Infer are on and would like to attack this dude with me hit me up on here or discord.

[Formerfish]

We are on a clock here right?

[Formerfish]

If we are I'll be up around 9am est if anyone wants to chat or play.

[Formerfish]

Cool. I guess Priv and I will fuck off into the corner until you guys get done playing.

[Formerfish]

Let us know if we can carry any of your guys equipment, or if anyone needs their balls chortled.

[Formerfish]

Well it just sucks that we can join anytime but we can't do anything. Not because we actually can't, but because a few people won't let us.

This challenge can take up to 8 people to complete it, and for us to lose all 8 have to die.

[Formerfish]

I'm sorry if you feel that way about me, but maybe instead of playing like you are you could accept some ideas from newer people too.

[Formerfish]

Like infer, you joined and immediately fought and we're at lvl 3 in 2 battles.

[Formerfish]

Like I could be a prick and just act and say fuck it, but I felt like I could make a case and argue for it.

But if you guys want to run this a certain way thats fine.

[Formerfish]

WE WON!

[Formerfish]

Any wenches for sale?

Could increase team moral.

[Formerfish]

Is that a no to wenches?

[Formerfish]

Later, my friend. Another day.
Agree

Has game of thrones taught us nothing? There is always time for wenches.

But

Agree

If I can't be fornicating I want to be fighting.

[Formerfish]

Are you from Dorne?

Why, do you like what you see?

::shows off ripped body and loin cloth coverings::

[Formerfish]

Was that all our actions this round?

[Formerfish]

I can take a swipe at beta to finish him?

[Formerfish]

Or help finish him I suppose.

[Formerfish]

~Ircher

[Formerfish]

What i do this time?

[Formerfish]

Original Roll String: 1d2 (STATIC)

1 2-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

beta

I just did the same thing i did last time

[Formerfish]

Or is it that i didnt kill him?

[Formerfish]

3 HP left and you rolled a 2. It's fine; I was just commenting that a bit better luck, and you would've slaughtered the poor slime.

Pedit: Oh wait, roll a 1d6. Sorry, I misinterpreted your pm.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[Formerfish]

Fucked him up.

[Formerfish]

If David dies, is he ded for realz?

[Formerfish]

Alpha has no defense, it looks like.

[Formerfish]

Ill take alpha

[Formerfish]

Scry Alpha Slime

[Formerfish]

One more scry and someone can still attack once.

[Formerfish]

Should I just attack alpha?

What should I be using at lvl 3 to attack the slimes with?

Do my dice tags change? I don't understand dice.

[Formerfish]

Attack alpha

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[Formerfish]

lol

[Formerfish]

Should I take Warrior or Magician? Leaning Magician because of the Revive and necro spells

Be a Mage.

Be a Maging at it.

[Formerfish]

This is why you guys keep me around.

[Formerfish]

Well, I’m theoretically doing that solely for the ability to throw you at things, so it’s more like “get rid of you faster,” but let’s go with that.

What's a grunt for, m'right?

[Formerfish]

[Formerfish]

Attack something? The NPC actions are separate from our own, if he uses scry it means his action is used and we only have 4 player actions, while if a player scries he can still attack + the 4 player actions we normally have.

Im confused, when david scried we had 5 actions that round.

If we needed to get info on all 4 targets, why does it matter who made the moves? There is still 1 person who can act.

[Formerfish]

Battle #17 (Threshold 4/1) The first number is the threshold for players. The second number is the threshold for NPCs.

from my understanding 4 real players get to act, and dave gets 1 action each round.

Am i reading this wrong?

[Formerfish]

Isn't the bottom line that with Dave we have 5 actions?

Why does it matter who did the scrying?

I couldn't attack in the same turn as scrying, could I?

[Formerfish]

examine creature: cultist szyme

david shld scry a slime then everyone else scry let's have some scrying fun

david scries delta

(hope the bosses are ok w this)
think level 1 scry for the slimes will be plenty

Scry Alpha Slime

Oh I missed it was David doing that second one
My bad
Attack on Szyme IG?

Original Roll String: 2d4 (STATIC)

2 4-Sided Dice: (2, 3) = 5

Let’s double slash the cultist and tornado A and B then.

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

This was 5 actions.

[Formerfish]

tornado szyme & alpha

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

davis scries Beta

Double slash Szyme

Original Roll String: 2d4 (STATIC)

2 4-Sided Dice: (4, 2) = 6

Original Roll String: 2d4-2 (STATIC)

2 4-Sided Dice: (4, 2)-2 = 4

Attack alpha

Original Roll String: 1d8 (STATIC)

1 8-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Basically we have 4 actions+any number of initiative actions like scry. The NPC has 1 action + any number of other initiative actions. However if David uses an initiative action there's no one left to do the normal NPC action.

If David scries we have 4 normal actions, if David attacks we have 5 normal actions (one of which is David attacking).

Anyway, Tornado Charlie and Delta.

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

[Formerfish]

Should I just keep smashing Alpha?

[Formerfish]

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[Formerfish]

Sorry, just checked the discord...

I am willing to be directed if needed.

I dont know who to look to for leadership and feel like we are all just furiously beating it with no direct purpose.

[Formerfish]

I havent looked at the lvls above me yet.

Do we have a berserker yet?

[Formerfish]

Ok, ill take a look at the different paths and who is where.

[Formerfish]

It looks like this:

Berserker- JB, Infer

Warrior- Amze, NK

Magicians- Cerb, GA

Acolyte- TW, Jack

And inspir needs to specify his path.

[Formerfish]

If you didn't go straight to murderhobo mode and actually thought this through we could have stopped the heal
Next time we try something like that have David be second to last so if we can't get it dead we can Silence Szyme

The plan was fine and would have almost certainly worked if Formerfish hadn't decided to randomly waste an action.

People were telling me to act and no one said anything to contradict that.

Are you our leader or just someone who likes to bitch about a game and people other than yourself wanting to play as well?

[Formerfish]

Scry Alpha Slime

Attack alpha

Original Roll String: 1d8 (STATIC)

1 8-Sided Dice: (7) = 7

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d8 (STATIC)

1 8-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Inspir: I've scried and attacked twice. No one said anything about me not acting and no one is giving any direction.

I agree that TW would be quite the leader.

[Formerfish]

I'm happy to take a bit more time to work through it all; NK15 and inspir in particular appear to have some really good ideas about how to run this encounter tho and I'm not a strategy master.

Even the best generals have good senior leaders.

[Formerfish]

Im around

[Formerfish]

Speed slash delta

Original Roll String: 1d8-2

1 8-Sided Dice: (3)-2 = 1

[Formerfish]

I'm expendable cause i reset at the same lvl. keep that in mind too.

[Formerfish]

Loin clothed hunk here for duty, sir!

[Formerfish]

looks like voting for leadership.

Im waiting for that at least.

[Formerfish]

its in the 1st post, im not sure.

[Formerfish]

hi here

Thats an interesting name, is it a family one?

[Formerfish]

i kinda was...

[Formerfish]

Huzah!

[Formerfish]

What's the plan King James?

[Formerfish]

I can speed slash someone, I think at least.

[Formerfish]

Heard, like I said, I will do whatever, Ill be around between now and deadline.

Just let me know.

[Formerfish]

(expired on 2019-07-30 18:39:13) until the round ends. (So far, I have seen zero actions.)

[Formerfish]

I appear to be on cooldown for 2 more turns. I dont know if at lvl 3 i can hurt anyone too badly.

If I cant speed slash is there a point to attack?

[Formerfish]

I was more worried about the defensive roll, but if you think me attacking would be alright, just let me know who to target and ill roll.

[Formerfish]

Yo.

What should I do?

In absence of upper echelons of command you would be in charge.

[Formerfish]

Attack Alpha

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[Formerfish]

Dave could do double shot?

[Formerfish]

If I don't attack for a bit I shouldn't get targeted right?

[Formerfish]

I also approve of players acting without instructions.

This is the reason we elected a leader though, cause when we didnt have one people were acting and then other people were questioning the actions, and then it was spiraling down into a bunch of finger pointing and then a vote for leadership.

I don't think its a bad idea for people to act on their own accord if there is a plan worked out and everyone knows what they are doing, but I dont think thats what we have here.

[Formerfish]

oh my god I hadn't even considered that.
inspir for senior strategic advisor imo

I didnt understand what he said, which is why i just do what you guys tell me to do.

[Formerfish]

Thats kinda how I saw it. Like if shit is going down then JB is in charge, and if hes not around it goes down the line. And if there is a disagreement between the 3 majors, the general would have final decision making power.

[Formerfish]

[Formerfish]

How do we know he really cares about the slimes? He called them pets, can we talk to him about that?

Maybe this guy is just misunderstood.

[Formerfish]

I would offer myself up as an emissary willing to talk to Szyme

[Formerfish]

I say we keep attacking until he tells us more.

[Formerfish]

Focus on his pet slime and just whittle away at it in front of his eyes.

Make him watch as we take each bit of life from his familiar and drain it closer and closer to being off this mortal coil.

[Formerfish]

I don't think it's as simple as kill or don't.

I think we can pressure him and see how much he cares about the slime.

If we attack the slime we can see if his offer gets better or he gives more info.

Worst case scenario we still kill the slime and Szyme too. Same as we are about to do anyways.

[Formerfish]

Can i search the area while the others fight? Find the gold on my own?

[Formerfish]

nah we

Attack

[Formerfish]

We need to be careful cause if he dies he's dead for good.

[Formerfish]

That's what's up. I'm assuming the bigger boys should be doing the attacking?

[Formerfish]

Can I cast a redirect shield on Dave and take the hits meant for him?

[Formerfish]

Nevermind, he'd still take damage.

[Formerfish]

hi! I'm here to fight some monsters!

Welcome to the lower levels, don't worry we see action when we can. I'm here to be eye candy in a lion cloth and lighten the mood with a bit of comedy when I'm not fighting for the right of weaker barbarians.

[Formerfish]

Someone needs to heal Dave, right?

[Formerfish]

Sounds like a plan. I'll heal/curse?

Thats a big 10-4 roger dodger.

[Formerfish]

Cursing is above my pay grade.

[Formerfish]

Tris gained xp just for being part of the game?

[Formerfish]

NVM, just saw that players start at lvl 2.

[Formerfish]

I'll put my point towards HP.

And I'll attack beta unless someone else wants to take that one and I'll love down the line.

Speed slashes don't count towards actions right?

[Formerfish]

Original Roll String: 2d4-2 (STATIC)

Imma slash beta with the speed of pissy incelz.

Invalid because incorrect dice roll.

[Formerfish]

Yup, wanna attack Charlie?

[Formerfish]

Are you familiar with dice tags? I fucked up my first like 3 rolls

[Formerfish]

Ok! Speed slash Charlie!

Original Roll String: 1d6-2 (STATIC)

I think for speed slash you do 2d4-2

tris did it correctly. That's if you are level 5.

Oh and you are level 4, so you would do 1d6 and 1d2-2. (Please reroll using the below code.)

[Formerfish]

fuck

[Formerfish]

Id attack but im honestly so confused about dice tags that I dont want to look stupid again.

Can someone help me figure out what im doing wrong?

[Formerfish]

Any one want me to hit something?

Im on cooldown, but im quite fit with my blade.

[Formerfish]

Only lvl 4 right now, and im on cool down for 2 more rounds i believe

[Formerfish]

I'll put my point towards HP.

@Irc- i think this got lost in the thread.

[Formerfish]

No worries.

[Formerfish]

Is it better for higher people to attack?

[Formerfish]

Can someone stun the newcomers and we attack down the line from beta til we kill some of the ones from before?

[Formerfish]

Im still on cool down for a round I think.

[Formerfish]

Im still on cool down for a round I think.

Not sure if retroactively aiding is allowed, otherwise you could support The Worst's tornado?

If possible can i retro aid Worst?

[Formerfish]

G and H are stunned for a round.

We should take out E and F, while stunning I and J this round.

[Formerfish]

I might be able to speed slash E to kill him?

[Formerfish]

I'll speed slash someone. Who should I target?

[Formerfish]

India probably?

Ok. As soon as I figure out why I can't ever tell what dice to use I'll roll.

[Formerfish]

Just look in the beginning of the thread for your character, then add -2 because you're using speed slash.

So I'd do 1d6 and 1d2-2, right?

[Formerfish]

Speed slash India. For Ghandi!

Who should I aid?

[Formerfish]

That should kill hotel.

Gulf and Juliet still alive.

[Formerfish]

I could double slash golf?

[Formerfish]

Double slashing Juliet should be fine though.

Cool. As a lvl 4 how would I double slash? I don't think I've done this one yet.

Does speed slash use my action for this turn or can I still act?

[Formerfish]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[Formerfish]

Oh shit I forgot about David. Have that mofo attack these lizards.

[Formerfish]

If i used Fury blade I could then attack normally right?

[Formerfish]

ahh fuck, because of the speed slash.

Ok, ill just

attack Alpha

[Formerfish]

Who wants to be in control of David? I have a hard enough time understanding my own actions so I think anyone but me would be a good choice.

[Formerfish]

duck is our leader, and i think james was too.

[Formerfish]

The dice is what gets me.
