    We seem ready for the Directive now.

    Yulia should cast identify on the milk before going to see if there is any hint if it is likely to spoil.

    It sounds like Yulia's spells should be effective again. That should place Yulia at range using her spells. Otherwise people should spread out. That way we should get some hits from angels uncovered by shield.

    No "Hello, there?"

    This appears to be a fairly straightforward fight for once.


    Alright, since magic is effective again it's time for Yulia to let loose

    We can cast Energize on Cherchiel right? Since the armor itself doesn't block magic

    Energize on Lri, Lemiel, Cherchiel (36%)


    Icicle (7%)

    Undermine ( 12%)

    Blizzard (2%)

    Lightning Strike (7%)

    Fireball ( 7%)

    Force Lance ( 7%)

    total cost: 78%

    After that, attack with your rifle but for the most part I'd like to put Yulia on heal duty. I imagine that thing will do a lot of damage so we want a healer. I think it might be worth it to use a mana potion just to make sure, Yulia can keep healing.


    Cherchiel

    Turn into boarchiel and then move to close quarter combat. You will be our main tank in this fight and your job is to keep General Grievous here occupied. You will probably take the brunt of the damage which is why heals are so important


    Lemiel, it's finally time for you to show off your magic.


    "My spells... Well, angelic ray is simply a beam of light, does quite a bit of damage and can be used to cut things... Heavenly Soothing is a healing ability that can heal multiple people at once, Retribution is... A desperation attack. A self destruct of sorts," she admits seemingly nervous as she talks about retribution and she quickly moves on, "Judgment for short is a very powerful, but draining ability that fills an entire area with searing light. I'm not sure how useful it will be given that it would probably harm all of you as well," she admits, "you already know what God's Light and Divine Grace do," she finishes.
    Use heavenly rays and the one true God's Judgement


    Use angelic rays and then move to close quarter combat and support Cherchiel Heavenly soothing should be used in a situation were General Grievous drops Yulia or one of our other squishies.

    Isalia

    I want you to focus both as Yulia's guard and ranged attacker, hit the Huntress with your rifle and make sure it doesn't get close.

    Lri

    You are our rogue, so after using the fishbowl of illusions to create a distraction, I want you to sneak around and aim for sneak attacks when the enemy is distracted. Primarily use your rifle and try to stay undetected

    Maple

    You're the Wildcard. Dart around the battlefield and attack from all angles with your rifle. I also but you on EMP duty. Chuck grenades at the huntress

    The last major machine enemy? What does that make Sally then? Are you trying to feed my paranoia now?

    Right, not resistant to magic but extra agile. We have already encountered some resistant and quite agile enemies so so be prepared. Hopefully blizzard and undermine will slow it down. On the plus side it did just attempt to negotiate, regardless of why it did that, it means it isn't confident in a head on engagement.

    Im surprised that that first shot did anything seeing as it was a ranged attack. Did we test if Lemiel can heal Yulia? I would have thought it wouldn't have an effect due to faithless. Unless we know she can be healed we need to play it safe.

    Bring out the items, I have no issues with using them liberally as this sounds like a fight we want to win with space to spare.

    I think that's all I have to add. Good luck.

    I'm gonna say that since the shot was aimed at the gun it didn't hit the cloak's effect, but mostly it was just cause cool dramatic entrance :D

    Well, I think Gambio has this sorted. Good luck everyone! Time to crush the Directive!

    The first thing should be to repair all the damaged equipment and cast identify on rail gun and bolts.

    I mean it may look like the group was completely OP but if we didn't went back to have everyone geared up and doing the surgery, this fight could have easily destroyed us

    Anyways, good job everyone. The Directive had to be taken out, although I like to remind everyone that next floor will be our final chance to not kill the floor monster, if we want to throw a wrench into whatever Alide is planning.

    Hm...so I take it Goma was not in the prison? That's less then ideal. That means she is most likely with Sally.

    Repair should come first, after we should identify the new stuff we got.

    We also have a bunch of new crafting options now, but we probably should wait what identify brings out before we make a decision.

    Yulia nuke did -84, I think dropping magic defence for agility was not a winning plan here. Plus this is an almost max sized, fully equipped group so being a bit strong should be a given. Not that I'm complaining.

    Next steps, repair everything, heal everyone. Then you can have some rest and fun time, there is no need to push on quickly and I imagine you are all under a lot of stress so a little relaxation can't hurt, Maple might even know a nicer place to stay then the train.

    2 machine cores is nice, the obvious thing I can think to do is get a tech suit with the magic amplifier for Cherchiel or Lemiel (probably Lemiel as she has magic other than grace). Core upgrade is combat if combat rating can be above high, if not i don't know. Oh, and Isaila doesn't have any core upgrade for some reason, we should probably fix that.

    We should think about what to do with the remaining tech plates. After we deal with Sally, the tower will probably force us onwards so we won't be able to make tech crafting things after.
     
  12. Miss-Emmie

    Yeah, let's Identify the helmet and handle repairs first. Giving Lemiel the same 'can use magic while wearing the suit' upgrade as Yulia would probably be for the best given she's our secondary healer.

    As for what Gambio said, I don't think we should skip the next floor monster. My theory is that Alide is the final floor monster, and will come after us regardless of whether we've taken down other floor monsters. If anything, it's been confirmed that there's some kind of reward that can only be accessed by defeating every floor monster, so we'd be locked out of that if we skip the next one.

    Hm, I would have preferred the light upgrade since we still don't have a reliable way of dealing with that hazard but oh well

    Considering that Maple is the only person in our group who is without a proper weapon we should give her the helmet and gun

    That said 10 bolts aren't exactly a lot so I'd also like to ask if we could converse any of the remaining plates into bolt with the converter, although we should also speak to Martin to see what he can do.

    I don't think we can relax until Goma is free so we should head towards Sally

    Operations is were the brain is located, so I think going there first makes sense.
     
  15. Boodalian

    Boodalian Experienced

    I mostly agree with our mean voice. But I think the group needs to decide if a rest is needed or not, the stress of everything that has happened is only second hand for us voices after all.

    Maple: It is nice to not get ambushed for once, that was becoming a bit of a pattern. Of the two Sally locations, what is the differences or significance of them? Is there one that is more likely than the other for where Goma is?

    A dreadful thought just occurred to me, there is no guarante that Goma is even at the a Sally location. I might just be overthinking this but if we beat Sally and don't find Goma the tower might force us onwards without her. Someone tell me I'm overthinking this, please.
     
  16. TheLeherengin

    The exit of this floor is not located near either of the Sally locations, so no upon beating Sally you will not be forced to the next floor.
     
  17. Boodalian

    Boodalian Experienced

    Oh, that's good. Then yes, let's beat up Sally (after any rest you might want) and if we don't find Goma we just search for her afterwards afterwards.

    Having a means to illuminate dark places would indeed be good to have. It seems to be groups main weakness now.

    Everyone seems to be ready to go on. Though, I don't think it harms us to take a short break and hear what Maple has to say of what is waiting for the group, and of producing more bolts.
     
  19. Boodalian

    Yulia already has a light upgrade? I suppose more might help but getting an upgrade to cover a weekness we have already covered and only caused an issue once seems like a poor use of a machine core.

    Oh...what the hell? When did we get that one?

    XD, yeah false alarm
