The Return: Rumble - Round 4, mod needs to write scene moar.

[A_Squirrel]

Anyone else want to share how they got their names?
Naryx is my own first name made into an Organization XIII name. (For those who don't know, thrown in an X and scramble the letters) I wanted to use it when I needed a fantasy-esque name, so I tagged on Ravenhart, which sounded kind of like a typical emo/Mary-Sue last name.

I typically use Wikipedia's random article function to find words that could work as first or last names. When I find two that work well together, or get tired of clicking, I generally have several possible names, and then pick one.

[A_Squirrel]

Black bird thing? Red Eyes? Fire-breathing dragons?

O.o

Man I sooo got the short end of the stick. I woke up in a basement/tunnel complex. And yeah, that's about it. -.-

edit: Though, I dont think Im done yet.

[A_Squirrel]

Crywolf and I are in the same place, Cybele. I too, was stomping on the floor to open doors, instead of fighting demons/dragons/werewolves/etc.

[A_Squirrel]

Cybele: Two questions?
How do you know how many players go into each scenario?
And how did you know so quickly who is in which?

A little detective work, is all.

I guess I'd make a pretty bad detective then. I was wondering the same thing as BA and still am confused.

[A_Squirrel]

I am fighting a mummy. Someone else is fighting a mummy. We should coordinate, unless that person is actually an NPC.

And, Happy Birthday Wizardcat!

[A_Squirrel]

You're fighting the mummy as well? That's good to hear.

Anyway, I'm just going to attack the mummy with 50 energy and defend myself with 50 energy to weaken it, but at the same time I won't lose to much hp.

And, although a bit late, Happy B-Day Wizcat.

I was going to do that too,

but im concerned with the way this will turn out. Since it has a lot of power to allocate, it can put enough into D to stop our attacks, while having enough in attack to deal damage to one of us. Since our defense points are spread out among two people, points we use to defend ourselves are not as efficient as those we use to attack. If we both go 100 into attack, im pretty sure one of us is guaranteed to survive. On the other hand, going 80 into attack and 20 into D will guarantee that we do more damage to it than it does to us, and also let us keep something in defense.

Err...yeah. Maybe a little too much thinking went into that. I dislike how this depends on how mean Wizcat decides to be. I think I'll go 80/20 in favor of attack, and hope that Im not the one who gets targeted by it.

[A_Squirrel]

Yay, lurker stick!

And I just noticed, but you two have similar avys...

[A_Squirrel]

Yay, I got a PM!

So BSG, next round, I'll probably split it even, or favor defense slightly. That mummy hits hard. XD

[A_Squirrel]

We should lurker stick Red Carlisle next time he holds up the game.

[A_Squirrel]

Counselwolf, who I assume is Red, hasn't posted in the last 12 days. I didn't see anything in the V/LA thread either. Just in case anyone is curious.

[A_Squirrel]

So. 18 of us, 4 of them. Excluding NPCs, weve got oh, 3 times the energy. We could potentially be able to wipe these guys out in a single round...if say, we go into groups of 4/4/5/5 and allocate 25/15 for the 4s and 20/20 for the 5s. Defensive points are really inefficient since we have more people--most of them will be wasted unless these things can target multiple people.

It would be nice to know any powers these things have, if youve(the guys who fought em before) found any.

I'm going 25/15 on Hound A.

[A_Squirrel]

Since Teal Mage is sitting out, it'll be 4/4/4/5. And someone who's fought these before needs to tell us what they can do.

[A_Squirrel]

But whatever is done during the round Gaze is cast still happens right?

[A_Squirrel]

Hell B « Ani 30, evilmatt 30
Cerberus « Korts 30+10, Chen DefSap30, Squirrel 20
Hell E « Squirrel 40
Hell F «
Hell G «
Hell H «
Hell I «
Hell J «

I'm hitting Hellhound E for 40 and Cerberus for 20.

[A_Squirrel]

Hell B « Ani 30, evilmatt 30
Cerberus « Korts 30+10, Chen DefSap60, Chen 10, Squirrel 20
Hell E « Squirrel 40 Cayke: 40
Hell F «
Hell G «
Hell H «
Hell I «
Hell J «

[A_Squirrel]

Alright, apparently the cerberus is harmless. So, focus on the others first, this'll be cake. Oh, and only one other person attack J.

Agreed. Stay away from Cerby for now.

I think Ill do 20 at J, and 40 at E.

[A_Squirrel]

My power is badass.

I am finishing E off. (twenty on attacking it,

twenty on Cerberus,

twenty to defend)

No. No. Bad. Very, very bad. Nobody attack Cerb this turn, I mean

nobody

.

Again, agreed. Remember, he cant attack us unless we attack him. Pretty sure that was in the scene, and hes immobile as a status or whatever.

Also, me and Korts have E covered. No one else attack it. It only has 30 energy, and we're hitting it for 60, so even if it goes full out defense, it dies.

too late

Just send another pm. Im sure Wizcat will understand.

edit:
Also, went through what's been said, this is what I've got for the assignments this round.

Korts should probably not hit Cerby

, and I have no idea how much Hybris is hitting J for. Unless I cant count, thats only 7 players.

Cerby(217 Energy):

Don't Attack.

Hound E(30 Energy): Squirrel(40), korts(20)
Hound J(75 Energy):

Hybris(?)

, Squirrel(20), teal(40), Korts(20)
Hound H(80 Energy):
Hound F(90 Energy): crywolf(40), ani(20)
Hound G(90 Energy): chen(20, drain 30)
Hound I(90 Energy):

edit2: updated for Korts.
That's probably enough on J now.

[A_Squirrel]

. . . or don't acknowledge me xP

If this is to me, sorry.

I kinda forgot.

See, you didn't say who you were definitively going to hit so I left you out.

[A_Squirrel]

Oh hey...Im currently afraid.

So since others may be wondering,

Wizcat, if we're affected by the fear status, can we shake it off and use the remaining energy to attack in the same round? Or do we spend an entire round getting ourselves together?

[A_Squirrel]

Oh balls.

Thanks for the quick answer, now off to redo my action. XD

Cerby(217 Energy): Don't Attack.
Hound E(30 Energy): korts(20)
Hound J(75 Energy): teal(40), Korts(20)
Hound H(80 Energy):
Hound F(90 Energy): crywolf(40), ani(20)
Hound G(90 Energy): chen(20, drain 30)
Hound I(90 Energy): Hybris (91)

I will now be curled up in a little ball in some corner somewhere for this round.

[A_Squirrel]

Okay issue guys: Apparently i'm afraid and cannot attack so I'm going all defence

You aren't going to shake the fear?

[A_Squirrel]

So how's everything going? Those guys still being slow? =P

[A_Squirrel]

This is how we stand now. This round should be very interesting. If we get lucky, 4 hounds die.

Also, I coulda sworn we figured out who Cybele was in the first two pages, but those edits messed everything up.
