Blue slimes do nothing special right?

Orange slimes stun, black slimes curse, do we know anything about the other colours?

Purple is a spellcaster.

Let's NOT kill the big slime and leave it for later. I got a hunch that it might be bad for us to kill it first.

One enemy left - this means Speed Slash should not be used anymore.

[Not Known 15]

and Cerberus should definitely meditate.

[Not Known 15]

Low hp individuals meditate? Curse the slime? Or maybe we just try to kill him, though only a high rolled double slash followed by an undefended 1 damage could be lethal this round.

It doesn't matter if we dispatch it now or next round. It is hasted for this round and will attack before us all this round, and after us the next round(because it is no longer hasted)

I'll take my stat point in mana for now

Has Scry Monster been used yet?

We can't use skills. Only spells.
We COULD use the Examine Creature spell.
Yellow spits acid
Orange stuns.(however, they might be stun immume. We will see this, however)
Green poisons.
No reason to use Examine Creature.
Use an attack spell.

[Not Known 15]

Stun is the least of our problems right now. We need to preserve our health points, so get rid of green and yellow first. Beta should be your target.

[Not Known 15]

Foxtrot. Greens only hit for 1d3 poison, yellow hits for 1d4.

No no no.
Yellow hits for defense ignoring 1d4,

once

Green hits for 1d3, but

three rounds in a row!!

Cast Flame on Beta

Original Roll String: 1d3 (STATIC)

1 3-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Would it be a decent idea to use Bless on someone?

We'd need bless if someone wants to cast the big special healing spell that targets everyone.
Otherwise there are better uses of Bless.

[Not Known 15]

okkkk I can barely speak sorry I feel unwell. As I feared, orange is immune vs stun.

We need:
A tornado against Charlie and Foxtrot.
Some fire to kill Beta.
Then attack Charlie till it's dead(it didn't use its spit attack yet).
If we have actions left, go for Foxtrot next.
At the end we need to dispatch Delta and Echo in this order.

[Not Known 15]

Oh I forgot. The one LVL 5 who does not use Tornado please uses Cure on James Brafin to get rid of the acid if that is possible.

@Ircher

does Acid count as negative status affliction or not?

[Not Known 15]

Ok. Then the next lvl 5 should definitely cast Cure on James Brafin, it is a 1 MP spell; which means it currently costs 0 MP.

(Welcome to the chaotic mind of a rageless rager, everyone)

unfortunately we already used 3 actions this round...

[Not Known 15]

will my MP be restored after this battle?

No, it will be restored after the next battle... if we survive it... which I begin to doubt.
Unless you level up, of course, but that seems unlikely.

Attack delta

Hello. Well, we are currently fighting monsters. You level up after each fight, and if you die you lose all levels unless you reached a checkpoint(the first is at 5 xp which you might reach after this fight... might.
Usually you have skills and spells ready for fighting monsters as soon as you leave lvl 1 but all skills are currently disabled and... unfortunately...
it seems it will stay that way!

[Not Known 15]

Well, no chance for a tornado then...
Fire at Delta

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[Not Known 15]

Is 4 good? I can roll again?

well, you are attacking a 1 hp enemy with no defense. Your last roll was technically not valid, but Ircher accepted it.

[Not Known 15]

Fire at Beta

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[Not Known 15]

Meh.
One more attack on Beta, then all remaining attacks should be fire at Charlie.

[Not Known 15]

EWBOP: a -1 penalty. So like do we attack for -1 and then attack for -3
Also, I lied. Optimal strategy here is:
Two level 4 players open. We’ll call them A and B for simplicity’s sake.
A blesses me, B Fires the cultist. Cultist attacks
B blesses Inferno, A curses cultist. Cultist attacks.
Switch to Inferno and me, who both double strike the cultist. Now here’s the technical part:

On average, a d4 gets a 2.5 result. A blessed double strike by a lv 5 is a 4d4-2 or on average, 8 damage. So as long as we both roll average, he dies or goes to 1, and we broil him for the kill. I think the chances of success here are 58.6%, which are ludicrously high.

That being said, I withdraw my submission.

A blesses you, yes. But B shouldn't fire the cultist. They should cast the spell Examine Creature because this looks WAY too easy. It would also clearly tell us if, for example(which is entirely possible, and actually likely) the cultist is immune against Curse, if they have some secret powers... you know what I mean? Better safe then sorry.
I won't be A or B due to my low health.

[Not Known 15]

I'd prefer if you would stick with my plan of casting examine creature(you) and Bless(someone else) first. With that low HP on that boss I

strongly

suspect some kind of trap; I suspect a possible stun/curse resistance... the spell Examine Creature should definitely be cast on that person.
The LAST thing we need is some nasty spell damage reflection effect, a fire/tornado spell immunity, a high strength counterattack on magic/standard attacks we run into or another kind of problem we suddenly face without preparation(such as nasty inventory items(for that we need the spell Examine Creature, NOT scry)).

[Not Known 15]

And how does me dying hurt the team?

If anyone surrenders we lose. Surrendering happens at 1 HP, according to the person we are dueling. At least that is what

The victor is whichever side decides to surrender first.

and the Examine Creature results suggest.

Furthermore, the xp gain is probably not good here - yes we will probably get a good round bonus for beating that but the base xp is a meagre 5 xp. It's not worth the risk.

[Not Known 15]

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.

Well, 5 xp for the entire group of attackers, then scaled according to level.(e.g. 15 xp/6 attackers(with 10 bonus xp, it's likely not higher because the enemy isn't actually that much of a threat) ... 2.5 xp, scaled up maybe... 5 xp? Maybe it is worth for you narrowly, since 5 xp is a checkpoint but...

[Not Known 15]

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.

[Not Known 15]

Hm.
The scrolls look extremely weak for that price, unless they actually allow someone to learn that spell(Lightning, in this instance). Tome of Experience, Cake and Resurrection Scroll are too expensive. Poison is too expensive to use, questionable because it requires melee attacks AND no poison immunity.
Bread and Mushrooms could be purchased at high quantities, and heal. Bread looks good.
While the healing potion could enable combos bread doesn't it is ten times as expensive. And we have one left, for emergencies.
One speed potion would be nice - enables someone to act twice, synergizes with blessings.. If we buy 2 we have 4 silver left for 10 pieces of bread. Hm Should we do that?

2 speed potions and 10 bread or 1 speed potion and 33 bread(+30 copper).

[Not Known 15]

well, or 1 speed potion, 32 bread and 1 mushroom(+10 copper)

[Not Known 15]

I'd say in this unfortunate case(mushrooms are now totally overpriced)
we should take one Speed Potion(great for emergencies) and one Lesser healing potion(we still have one in our inventory), this leaves us with 10 silver as a reserve.
The speed potion is much better than a healing potion in lots and lots of situations.
If we want further survivability we should take 2 breads(Healing Grace) for 3 silver and 50 copper leaving us with 6 silver and 50 copper.

[Not Known 15]

I think the speed potion is a bit overpriced, but taking one might not be bad.

@Ircher Do 2 hasted actions count as one or two for the attack threshold?

[Not Known 15]

/buy Speed Potion and Lesser Healing Potion

Attack Alpha with Double Slash next. Do not use the NPC yet. Alpha needs to die now, before the cultist gives it full health.

[Not Known 15]

You can’t silence Szyme.
No crowd control effects on him, remember?

That's wrong!
Crowd control only lasts one round less.
Silence normally lasts two, so it would be one.

However...

I think for the most part we are fine but once another monster hits <50% HP we should Silence Szyme

we shouldn't because Szyme has only 7 MP left. The spell costs 9-1(reduction global battle effect)=8 MP. Their inventory is devoid of MP giving items.
They can't cast that spell again!

[Not Known 15]

He has first strike, so if we want the kill on Delta we should be silencing Szyme asap imo. For the purposes of taking one out I think it's best to assume the worst, that he'll be firing a heal on Delta right away to keep it out of sudden death range.

My suggestion would be silence on szyme, tornado on Delta + Alpha. Re-assess from there; if the delta tornado was sub 3 damage (his defence roll is 1d3) it might be worth a second tornado. Otherwise we could safely push it down to low hp.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Yeah you are wrong. Szyme has absolutely no first strike. They have haste; they can act twice per round. But they do not have quick strike(which would allow them to act before us).

double check for me? been a long day so my brain may be melted. Way I'm reading it he has first strike tho.

Yeah he does...
sorry.
BUT
it isn't Quick Strike.
First Strike only acts at the beginning of the battle.

[Not Known 15]

Consequently... we don't need to silence. The Cultist will likely get a heal past it anyways.

[Not Known 15]

We don't have endless mana. Repeatedly using 1MP to prevent a heal is not a good allocation of resources.

[Not Known 15]

At least not if we are speaking of a fixed hp heal, and not a full HP heal.

Attack Szyme
NPC attacks Beta.
Next round, Tornado Szyme and Beta, kill Szyme, rest of attacks on Beta.
Next round, kill Beta.
Thoughts?

[Not Known 15]

If we accept that surrender they will probably come back with reinforcements later. They are a cultist involved with slime attacks and the cult itself is also said to do horrible things.
I don't see them joining our side ever.

[Not Known 15]

He then lets out a deep sigh, raises his hand in the air, and says, "Stop! You mustn't hurt my pets any longer. Let my pet and I go, and I shall trouble you no longer!" Cultist Szyme is offering to surrender. Do you accept or reject the offer? (Be aware, it could be a trap!)

Hm. So Szyme says that they would not trouble us longer.
Can a cultist like them be trusted?
And even if, they could just tell their fellow cultists what happened/warn them and we then face them all - and we won't be able to survive against a horde of these cultists. At least not until much later.

[Not Known 15]

If you accept, he promises to leave and never mess with you or other adventurers in the Cave of Slimes ever again.

That's the terms of surrender?
So we could easily have to battle them again later, outside of the Cave.
He could also report to the other cultists...
He could be lying...

[Not Known 15]

Attack.

[Not Known 15]

Attack Beta

Original Roll String: 2d4-1

2 4-Sided Dice: (1, 2)-1 = 2

[Not Known 15]

Dead.
David attacks Cultist Szyme:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Next (and last) attack should be on Szyme, too.

[Not Known 15]

Yeah and Szyme has two, and we already have two attacks on them... We won't make it this round.
Szyme attacks twice so we can't rely on healing grace.
We have 3 actions left. I still have decent health left. I can cast R shield on Szyme, the next one can cast heal. The last one either forces a healing potion on David's throat if Heal had a power of 1 or doesn't and casts Curse on Szyme(ideally some lvl 4 person)
Is this a good idea?

[Not Known 15]

To clarify: The last person casts curse regardless of healing potion or not.

[Not Known 15]

hi! I'm here to fight some monsters!

Not this round please, we have a situation that needs several high level people. Maybe in the next round of attacks.

[Not Known 15]

Lesser Healing Potion on David:

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Cast Redirection Shield Level 1 on David

[Not Known 15]

Inspiratieloos, we do need another cure on David. The Cultist seems to only target David for now.
And then we need the last action to CURSE Szyme.
Next round we can try to finish Szyme.

[Not Known 15]

To clarify NOT cure, but the spell Minor Heal!

[Not Known 15]

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

We don't have much time, so probably cast minor heal.
We then need someone to curse Szyme - it will give them two less damage and one more damage next round when we try to finish them off. Plus it works even if they target someone else.

[Not Known 15]

So, I think at the moment David only dies of Szyme rolls a 6 on the first attack and David rolls a 1 on defence.

David has no defence.

Szyme also has double shot ready.

Although Curse and Defense Shield should help a bit...

[Not Known 15]

An invisible force? Hmm...
Also, I vote we make the flavor for curse someone just cussing the target out and the target just losing his focus for a minute.
David and Jackal should double Slash/shot Szyme and the other three actions should be blessing them/healing/etc. I think. Objections?

A bit depends on the first doubleslash. If it has very high damage we might just want to attack with everything we have.

[Not Known 15]

6/10 minimum.

Don't forget the defense... It's actually 6/12 for us to definitely hit it to Healing Grace, then a further hit of four to definitely hit it after that...

[Not Known 15]

Attack Cultist Szyme

Original Roll String: 2d4-1

2 4-Sided Dice: (3, 4)-1 = 6

If this doesn't hit by alot we should probably start healing David... again...

[Not Known 15]

We have two attacks remaining.
The penalty is now -2 for an attack, and that attack has to hit a minimum of 6-2 to work under all conditions. If it doesn't we better heal David, for hopefully the last time...

[Not Known 15]

GAH WE ARE SO CLOSE
IF ONLY WE COULD MAKE A MAGICAL ATTACK HE COULDN'T DEFEND AGAINST.

Hm we actually don't need to heal David. Their health is at two and any attack against them does trigger a magical attack they can't defend against(due to redirection shield), so....

[Not Known 15]

wait not THATS WRONG
our enemy has a health potion left!

[Not Known 15]

wait no my calculations are incorrect. Szyme already has to defend against the attack of Jackal unless they want to die so any damage will kill them now.
Should we let Tris roll 1d6-2?

[Not Known 15]

any roll higher than 2 is certain death.

[Not Known 15]

I will minor heal David if no one has objections

We just need 1 damage to certainly win though; and we have 2 actions left(David already attacked with doubleshot).

[Not Known 15]

I can Tornado?

Please no.
2d4-2 is far superior to 1d6 with a seperate defense roll of 1d4-1

[Not Known 15]

Ircher, is James Brafin on cooldown? They didn't use their action yet and, if not on cooldown, could use Meditate.

[Not Known 15]

The distribution is different plus I arbitrarily decided d5's are not a thing in this game.

The friendship cooldowns are separate from normal cooldowns.

Are we automatically Friendship lvl 1 with everyone(and can use that skill on everyone allied as a result)?

[Not Known 15]

Yeah, even the newbies can use it:)

Cross slash is really weak compared to other skills, in the future it would be better to just use speed slash or double slash. For example if you had double slashed echo and the worst had speed slashed India that would have been +2 free damage for the exact same number of actions and cool down.

No, that's not true. Double-slashing Echo would have been a collossal waste of actions - it had only 2 hp left(and is dead by now)

Sorry, I meant the other way around.

VOTE: Pass

[Not Known 15]

I don`t like that idea, generals.
Their scry does not generate initiative, and it does not reveal the inventory.
I propose that Formerfish uses the 1 MP spell Examine Creature on this thing - sure, it loses us one precious MP but knowing the inventory is crucial to having a sound strategy - one thing we only get through that. And some time in the past we already had one creature who had skills only findable by Examine Creature.
And we should not waste our time on initiative, because there`s no need for extra actions this round.

[Not Known 15]

Should I attack because of the very low chance that former will be one shot? Wouldn't it be 1/1-7 * 1/8 * 1/2?

Assuming only one person gets attacked.

Hydra... does this sound like an enemy with one attack?

Enough of this inaction. We have enough actions to NOT have to worry about initiative.

Ok. We need another attack on Alpha Delta, and unless it`s a 9+ strength attack, another attack after that.

[Not Known 15]

The rest of us should use Focus. We don`t need MORE slimes.

[Not Known 15]

Focus gets countered if you take damage.

We can target down Alpha, at 23 plus a split it should be in range if we use two double slashes and only summon 1 new slime (that won't attack this round).

Double Slash is a

double attack

. A very bad idea.

[Not Known 15]

that's why things like blessing and aid only give it +1.

Then that has been applied incorrectly; after all, it is supposed to be two attacks at once. Ircher?

I think the first one could end a lot of fights on it's own in one round without a downside, dead enemies can't retaliate after all. 20 CD is kinda pointless since fights don't take that long, might as well just say 'you can't use active skills for the rest of the fight'. I assume 'act as if they have quick strike' means 'this skill grants initiative'? That makes it even stronger as the entire party can just use it regardless of the action threshold.

Quick Strike means you act before all others without Quick Strike - and before Quick Strike monsters - (the rules say that) - a mixed blessing, in this case - 20 CD, yes, but it`s also ICD. And yes, you are supposed to use it only once per fight. It does

not

grant initiative.
Look at these six rolls, three for Reckless Stab and three for Double Strike, both assuming 2d6 attack dice at lvl 7:

Original Roll String: 2d6*2

2 6-Sided Dice: (2, 4)*2 = 12

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (2, 3) = 5

Original Roll String: 2d6-2

2 6-Sided Dice: (2, 3)-2 = 3

The downside on the spell seems extreme, it's just going to cause a player to not do anything in any fight until it expires, might as well just say 'you can't act for the next x fights'. The length of the spent debuff also seems very long.

It is not supposed to be a "let us use this to get along faster" option. It is the "Sacrifice power in situations that would cause the party to lose otherwise" option. The downsides of that spell do not prevent you from using Scry Monster level 2(1 CD=0CD in this case) or Curse, Cure, Silence, Enrage...

[Not Known 15]

I am not a general but Alpha Charlie Beta Alpha Delta Alpha Alpha and Alpha Echo seem the best targets for now. We need to cull their numbers. Alpha Charlie Alpha is begging for a double slash if the other three are dead so I won`t interfere right now(I am off cooldown).

No it might not. The skill deals 1 extra damage if it hits.

[Not Known 15]

Note that if the winning designers do not feel my description accurately captures their design, we can discuss changes.

That ain`t the problem but this spell uses dice that aren`t in game per the rules(those say

I propose that we buy two of the morale scrolls, one curing potion and one Fury Crystal. Yes, that costs our whole stock of money, but these are really good for emergencies(Curing potion and morale scrolls if we really need someone to act who can`t , and Fury Crystal if our enemies are seriously OP. It doesn`t pay off to be stingy here, these things ARE for emergencies, and if we accumulate money like we currently do we will never get even one resurrection scroll before a long long time has passed. And the Fury Crystal will never be useless.
