    Hey, at least they aren't nerve wracking ;P


    Hm, aren't we missing one ingot to reinforce Isalia's outfit? We need four for the lowest option right?

    I'm doing my actual post tomorrow, just wanted to clarify this.

    Oh yes indeed. Four ingots are required to reinforce an outfit.

    Gotcha, well I still think we should do something with Isalia's outfit, so I would suggest we get her the black leather armor, provided it will actually be an improvement

    As for Goma, that's a lot of mana potions! Given how little we used them, I'm not sure stocking up on them is really needed

    My pick would be

    2 explodey ball
    2 strong time juice


    After, I suggest we go farm us some leather wings


    The strategy we used last time worked perfectly and with a new armor for Isalia this should trivialise matters even further. Just make sure to head back to town and rest after every fight. Farming should continue until we have enough Leather to buy out the Drow or no more Leather wings spawn.

    Now, there is one obvious curveball that I expect the tower to throw at us. The Leather wings could attack in greater force. But we cross that bridge when we get to it.

    We could always meta in this chat to speed things along, like which stuff we can craft and buy from stores just before heading to town.

    Ok, so that's a lot of stuff Goma can make now! I'm thinking 8 mind healies, 1 strong time, and the rest plague healies. Mana potions are the most critical for the party. An adrenaline boost could be useful in dire moments. And finally an area heal could be useful now with so many companions.

    I think upgrades to Isailia is a good use of the leather. What piece of equipment do you feel needs an improvement? Think of this as payment for your help with the leather wings.

    Guess aqua Regis is next. I imagine it will be a lot of water which held the most dangers on this floor. Asking everyone in the room, is there any tips or underwater gear that could assist us?

    Huh, forum didn't update until after I posted, weird.

    Farming is fine by me, but do we get much out of it? Is this equipment better than our blacksmith can make?

    Also mana potions are super useful! I could take off 4 mind healies for a explody, but I feel we should get a mana potion whenever possible.

    Getting so many mana potions feels like overkill to me. We used one Mana potion for five floors. We now have four of them. It's not like gathering spots will vanish from her on out either. If we where to run low on potions we can get more on latter floors.


    Grenades are excelllent as a last resort. It's what saved us against Lumberer. Having a grenade to toss could mean the difference between losing a character or not.

    If I have to make a compromise, I rather get rid of the strong time juice. So i lock in two exlpodey balls for my side of the ingredients lol

    Good thinking Yulia, I was mistaken for what a plague healy was. Also I agree with Cherchiel, we will defeat this tower!

    Alright, how to lure out the leather wings safely. First thought is, are they attracted to blood? Someone could cut themselves lightly and lure them with fresh blood. We could have everyone hide but one slightly away, then jump in once they think they have prey. We could just make a lot of noise which may attract them. They like the dark so no matter what it probably needs to be dark.

    Of my options the blood seemsost feasible... Is they are attracted to the smell. We should be sure to be near a wall, and also near the exit if possible for a getaway should the entire cave of leather wings comes at us.

    Can we see them on the roof? If so could we just hit them with long range weapons or spells?

    Since its only two voices right now that should be fairly doable

    Perhaps set it up like a shop and each voice has 50% of the "funds" available to buy stuff



    I agree that blood is the solution, but I think there is a better way to generate it.


    Yulia, step a bit away from the group and perform a sexy striptease.

    Not only will that make you appear vulnerable, it will also get your blood pumping

    The moment the leather wings descend upon Yulia, the rest of the group jumps in and fighting ensues. Commence farming.


    It goes without saying, but it has to be Yulia because she is the only out of the group with any sense of shame.

    Uh... too tired this morning... Will write Yulia later today instead...

    Exccellent, it worked!

    Oh no, it worked!


    Actually, before I make my decisions, is this two battles at once? And can buffs and stuff influence both groups or are they limited to each?

    Yulia is battling separately from the others.

    Something like the horn will effect both, since they are still within earshot of each other and Yulia can cast energize or Undermine at range, though she does need to be able to see her target and she is currently fighting blind.

    Other than that though for the most part the fights are separate and individual buffs will not effect both fights.

    What did we learn today? Sexy dancing in the dark is dangerous.

    Ok, it's a bit late so ideas first while I'm at peak tired. Yulia runs towards the sound of Goma and drops a explody behind her. Issallia throws a explody over Yulia who joins the group. Free Goma first, Goma helps Yulia. Yulia undermine the two bats in sight and flees to group, maybe energize and down a mana potion on the way then buff everyone else on arrival? What if we ask the bats to kindly fuck off?

    This might be an issue

    I agree that we need to have Yulia join up with the rest of the group as soon as possible. For the most part I concur with Wariders Plan, altough I would like to change the two grenades to one incendiary one

    The bats don't like light, so having one of them thrown over Yulia, should get these two to fuck off.

    Oh, and also have Yulia sound the horn while she runs to the group. With that explosion I deem the risk of more bats joining the fray slim.

    Once back to the group, energize Goma and Isalia and murder theses pests. Drink Mana and heal as needed.



    Incidentally, do both groups have access to all items or only one? Might change one small thing depending on it.

    Technically Yulia should be the only one with access to most items, but that's way too much to pay attention too... so, for reasons we'll just say are magic tower shenanigans they can all access the items.
     
  17. Gambio

    Gambio CHYOA Guru

    Got it

    This is only in the case in which the two Leather Wings wouldn't flee, thus preventing the two groups from joining up.

    In that situation, Yulia, use the poison syringe on yourself. Focus on healing(but not curing) until the two leather wings either die or had enough.


    Damn, I wish I had thought of that idea earlier. But oh well, sexy striptease, so I regret nothing!

    Um... Why would Yulia poison herself?!?

    Ok solider plan this time. I agree an incendiary grenade either dropped by Yulia or thrown close to her is a good play... Hopefully her cloths survive as they are mostly on the floor.

    Yulia get to the team quick! Energize yourself since you can see yourself, undermine the 2 bats if you can, otherwise just run to the scream! The grenade should give a bit of light to help maybe, just be ready as it may be bright.

    On the run drink a mana potion and once together energize Cherchiel and Isailia. Goma usually has the horn, so Cherchiel beat the shit out of that bat holding her and then Goma sound the horn!

    If the bat with Goma attempts to flee with her, Isailia immediately throw a grenade at the bat to ground it. We can heal Goma, but if she gets to far away that may be it for her. Hell, throw two if need be, make sure everyone groups up!

    Once together, get your backs to the wall and fight like we did before with Cherchiel and Isailia up front.

    God damnit Warider, and I tried so hard to not bring up the clothes situation lol

    Bat suck blood, so poisoning said blood should be very effective. That said it's a last resort kind of deal

    I think from now on I'm going to wait until later in the day to write the new posts... So, expect posts around 12 PM EST from now on, cause I'm too tired in the mornings to focus...
