Though it is a close vote, you ultimately decides to head east towards the earlier scraping sound. It does not take long for you to find yourselves surrounded by a large group of giant lizards. Seeing fresh meat, the lizards begin moving towards you and raise their claws eagerly.

Battle #19

Some Changes:

1. There is a new monster codex. You can find it in Post 7. It keeps track of information you have learned through the "Scry Monster" skill or "Examine Creature" spell.
2. Fury Blade now has an internal cooldown of 1 ICD to prevent an exploit when used in tandem with Adrenaline Rush.
3. Power Aura has been changed to "Attacking enemies that are more than four levels below you grants you a +1 modifier on attack rolls," since the former description had poorly defined semantics.
4. The rules for "game overs" have been slightly modified and now read: "If five or more players are killed in a single battle, the battle immediately ends. (Note: It can also be one player dying five times in a single battle or some combination.) This is considered the equivalent of a game over. No one gains experience. The battle may restart from the beginning, or I may replace it with an easier encounter. All players who were still alive have their resources restored to their maximum values."

Speed slash grants initiative, but it does indeed use up your action for the round.

Jackal711 said in the Discord that he attempted to post an attack roll, but for some reason his post did not go through. While you shouldn't expect this to be common, I will roll in Jackal711's place. (He didn't specify a target, so I'm randing that as well.)

(Target: 1 => Alpha, 2 => Beta, 3 => Charlie, 4 => Delta, 5 => Echo)

inspiratieloos leads the charge as he darts towards Alpha and slashes at it. (6 so far on Alpha.)

Formerfish slashes at Beta at a lightning-fast speed. (6 so far on Beta.)

1 3-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

the worst begins moving his hands in intricate ways and chanting ancient words. Soon, blue and white wisps start to encircle him. He points in the directions of Delta and Echo, and a pair of wisp tornadoes begin traveling towards them. As soon as the first tornado reaches Delta, it turns into nothingness.

**the worst has

0/6

MP left.**

(3 so far on Echo.)
(Echo's defense:)

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Gamma Emerald begins observing the motions of Alpha. He learns the following information about the lizard:

Spoiler: Alpha's Scrying Info

**Giant Lizard : HP = 13 | Morale = 5 | Attack1 = 1d3 | Attack2 = 1d2 | Attack3 = 1d2 | Defense = 1d3
- Active Skill "Bite" (4 CD): Attacks an enemy for {Attack Dice} + 1 damage.
- Active Skill "Deep Scratch" (6 CD): Scratches an enemy and digs deep into their skin for {Attack Dice} damage. If the target takes damage, the target receives the "Bleeding" status for three rounds. For each round of "Bleeding" left, a character loses 10% of their current health (multiplicatively) (health is rounded up--bleeding cannot kill a character). (For instance, a bleed with three rounds left causes a character to lose ~27% of their current health. On the next round, the bleed will cause the character to lose ~14% of their current health (~41% cumulatively).) Each round of bleeding counts a separate status affliction for the purpose of spells. (A spell that cures two status afflictions will only remove two rounds of bleeding.) Bleeding does not begin taking effect until the next round. (This allows characters a chance to cure it ahead of time. Just to be clear, the timer does not tick down the first round.)

David takes the opportunity to team up with inspiratieloos and fires two shots at Alpha in quick succession. (6 + 1 + 2 = 9 so far on Alpha.)

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Jackal711 looks around for a good target. His eyes land on Charlie, who he leaps towards, and he attempts to hack off one of the lizard's limbs. (6 so far on Charlie.)
(Defense:)

[Ircher]

Alpha's thick skin does a poor job of warding off inspiratieloos and David's attacks. **Alpha has

HP left.** Beta likewise is unable to significantly mitigate Formerfish's fast attack. **Beta has

8/13

HP left.** the worst's tornado manages to briefly disorient Echo before the wisps disappeared.

Echo is stunned for one round.

**Echo has

12/13

HP left.** Jackal711 has a hard time finding a weak point on Charlie, and his blade is dulled by Charlie's thick skin. **Charlie has

10/13

HP left.**

In response to inspiratieloos's attack, Alpha raises its claw menacingly and then slashes downward forcefully at inspiratieloos. The lizard attempts to dig its claw deep within inspiratieloos's skin.

I have decided that alongside the same lines of "Tornado" for players, since each of these rolls are considered separate attacks, +/- modifiers apply to all the rolls. If for some reason, you disagree with this interpretation and think the modifier should only apply to the last roll, I am willing to hear your case. Note that I will not retroactively change anything.

Delta, angered by the wisp tornado, moves aggressively towards the worst. It proceeds to slash the worst with its claw.

Despite inspiratieloos's best efforts to get away, Alpha still manages to sink its claw into his skin. Red droplets begin to form around the wound from Alpha's attack.

inspiratieloos is bleeding for two rounds.

**inspiratieloos has

19/20

HP left.** Formerfish is not nearly as prepared as inspiratieloos was, and Beta creates several holes in Formerfish's armor. Red blood begins spewing out of the holes.

Formerfish is bleeding for two rounds.

**Formerfish has

18/23

HP left.** Jackal711 manages to avoid Charlie's second bite, but he takes heavy damage from the first and third bites. **Jackal711 has

9/20

HP left.** the worst successfully rolls to dodge Delta's first two attacks with its claws, but he is still slightly injured by the third claw attack. **the worst has

16/20

HP left.**
The mechanics of bleed are in the scrying spoiler. The glossary will also be updated with the new status. Also, I know the scry information said three rounds originally. I've changed my mind last minute, so it is now two rounds for this monster type.

[Ircher]

Yes, but you are currently on cooldown and would be unable to use Fury Blade right now.

[Ircher]

the worst begins the action by attempting to strike fast at Delta, but he isn't paying attention to where he is striking and manages to trip along the way. (2 so far on Delta.)
(Defense:)

Original Roll String: 1d3

1 3-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

inspiratieloos summons forth several blue and white wisps. They move in uniform circular motion around his hands. He points towards Delta and Echo, and the wisps coelesce into wisp tornados and fly in those directions.

**inspiratieloos has

Delta's skin fully absorbs the force of the worst's attack, and no damage is dealt. Delta does not fare as well against inspiratieloos's Tornado attack.

Delta is stunned for one round.

**Delta has

10/13

HP left.** Likewise, Echo is disoriented by the wisp tornado.

Echo is stunned for one round.

**Echo has

9/13

Despite Gamma's strong attack, Beta steels its resolve and is able to absorb most of the damage. **Beta has

6/13

HP left.**
---
Though Formerfish tries his best to avoid Beta's claws, he is unable to keep up with Beta's fury and suffers heavy damage. **Formerfish has

13/23

HP left.**

the worst is much more prepared for Charlie, and he dodges most of the claw attacks. **the worst has

15/20

HP left.**
---
inspiratieloos takes four damage from bleeding. **inspiratieloos has

15/20

HP left.**
Formerfish takes two damage from bleeding. **Formerfish has

Y'all have an NPC action left.

I feel it's kinda strange to use initiative-granting actions after the PC (Player Character) action threshold is met, but I won't say (at least for now) that you cannot PROVIDED THAT you have not reached BOTH the player and NPC action thresholds.

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 runs into battle and heads straight towards Echo. He brings his sword back, and then slashes twice at Echo. (3 + 1 = 4 so far on Echo.)

Gamma Emerald turns and faces Beta. With a determined look in his eyes, Gamma Emerald strikes twice fiercely. The lizard, who was about to launch an attack, suddenly falls motionless. (5 + 4 = 9 so far on Beta.) **Beta is

dead

inspiratieloos and the worst turn towards Formerfish and shout, "Kill those lizards! We believe in you!" Formerfish then begins the necessary chants and motions to cast Tornado. He points towards Delta and Echo, and wisps go flying towards those directions. **Formerfish has

After dispatching the giant lizards, you continue down the path only to quickly find your path is blocked. You turn around and go back to the previous intersection. You go west this time instead of east. Sure enough, you run into more creatures; this time, it's a group of serpents. They hiss at you and begin to stick out their tongues.

His attack did not improve. Perhaps it should have, but my intention is that players will be the main ones dealing damage whereas the NPCs serve as supplemental damage. (His attack will improve with his next level for sure though.)

Also, welcome dsjstr! If you have questions, feel free to ask.

[Ircher]

The other players had already used up the player part of the action threshold, so technically, you can't normal attack here. That being said, you can use speed slash though it carries an additional -2 penalty. (I'll accept your action as such.)
Edit: You can change your action to an aid if you like since you're new to the game.

[Ircher]

dsjstr is walking home when he sees a sign at the local inn. It reads, "Adventurers wanted. Please ask the innkeeper for details." Ever since he was a young lad, dsjstr wanted to go on adventures and fight monsters, but he never got a chance to do so. Seizing this opportunity, he goes and meets the innkeeper. The innkeeper directs him to a nearby cave. As soon as he enters the cave, he begins to lose consciousness. When he wakes up, he finds himself in an entirely different area of the cave. He stumbles around in the cave unsure where to go. Eventually, he hears shouts and the sound of steel, and he begins walking in that direction. There, he finds the Murderhobos engaged in battle. One of the group's leaders takes a moment to greet him, "We could always use additional help. Thanks for coming!"

Jackal711 begins chanting ancient words and moving his hands in intricate ways. Soon, his hands glow a bright blue color. dsjstr takes the opportunity to encourage Jackal711. He points towards Beta and Charlie, and blue and white wisps begin to engulf the two serpents. **Jackal711 has

As the worst begins making his way towards Alpha, Formerfish shouts encouraging words, bolstering the worst's confidence. the worst delivers a powerful slash attack at Alpha, and the serpent dies.

It has been a long series of battles, and you are all tired. You set up camp near the bodies of the dead serpents and rotate turns keeping watch while the rest of you sleep. Several hours later, you all wake up refreshed.

MP has been restored. All players have been healed by 5 HP.

You continue to make your way through the winding tunnels of the cave. You reach another fork in the path, but this time, you see tracks in the ground. David says, "I recognize these tracks! That must mean there are more cultists here. Be on your guard." You decide to follow the small footprints to wherever they may lead. Soon, you find two robed women standing together. The woman standing in front of you slightly to the left possesses robes that are a much darker shade than the other woman's robes. "Aha, it seems the prey has finally found us. Sadly, I have no time for vermin like you! Andromeda, release the slime!" says the woman on the left. Without even taking the time to check that her order is executed, the cultist leaves without a trace. The other cultist, Cultist Andromeda, pours out a gigantic slime from a bubbling pot. She then mutters a few words and makes a few motion, and a magical barrier surrounds her. The slime sees you and immediately starts moving towards you. You look to the left to see how David reacts to the situation, but you find himself devoid of any motion. It is unlikely you will receive any help from him in this battle.

I'll take this pagetop.

[Ircher]

Just to be clear, David can't take any actions for this battle.

[Ircher]

I don't think thst counts for luck mitigation. Your total dice roll must be the minimum possible for it to count towards luck mitigation. (E.g.: I saw you had rolled a total of two once--that counts, but rolling a 6 total despite one of the dice being 1 does not count.) Think of luck mitigation in terms of attacks, not individual dice rolls.

[Ircher]

Very rarely. It's not meant to be a damage increases; it's meant to handle streaks of really bad luck like that seen at the very beginning of the game. Ideally, luck mitigation should never trigger.

[Ircher]

(expired on 2019-12-30 18:56:46) until the round ends. Y'all have two actions left.

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 draws a circle and then a cross with his hands while chanting ancient words. Wisps of all different colors form around him. He focuses his eyes on Alpha, and the wisps go flying towards it. The wisps then return to Not Known 15 and relay the obtained information. **Not Known 15 has

4/5

MP left.**

Spoiler: Alpha's Examination Results

**Hydra Slime : Level = 7 | HP = 400 | Morale = 15 | Attack = 1d8 | Defense = 1d2
- Passive Skill "Split": When this enemy takes damage, it splits into two weaker slimes. Each weaker slime has half the HP of the original slime. If the amount of HP remaining is odd before the split, one of the slimes will get the extra hitpoint. An individual slime will stop splitting from damage when it has 5 HP or left. Only the original creature awards experience. (To be very clear, "taking damage" in this context means per attack. If two characters attack the slime in the same round, the slime may potentially take damage twice (and thus split twice). The defense roll is applied to the first 1-2 attacks; attacks that deal zero damage do not count as "taking damage".)
- Passive Skill "Fire Vulnerability": This creature is vulnerable to the "Fire" and "Flame Arrows" spell. Those spells deal 2 * {Dice Roll} + 1. (Rolls will be adjusted automatically; please stick to standard dice rolls.)
- Passive Skill "Stun Resistance": This creature has a natural resistance against stun. Roll a 1d6. If a 4, 5, or 6 is rolled, this creature will avoid being stunned.
- Active Skill "Explode" (3 CD): Creates an explosion that deals {Attack Dice} - 2 damage to every enemy attacking this creature this round. This creature takes 1d4 unblockable damage in the process.

dsjstr begins making various hand gestures and reciting ancient words. Soon, white and yellow wisps begin to form around his hands. He points towards Formerfish. Formerfish and dsjstr are then bathed in a yellow light.

dsjstr and Formerfish are linked by a Redirection Shield for one round.

**dsjstr has

2/3

MP left.**

Jackal711 starts moving his hands in intricate ways and reciting an ancient curse. He points towards Alpha, and a black light envelopes the slime.

Alpha is cursed (-2) for three rounds!

**Jackal711 has

4/6

MP left.**

Formerfish delivers a strong slash to Alpha. (6 on Alpha {1}.) Because of Jackal711's curse, the slime merely takes the blow. To the amazement of the entire group, the slime splits into two smaller slimes!
Note: It may not make a lot of sense lore-wise, but status afflictions do not carry over to the split slimes.

inspiratieloos leaps forwards and delivers a strong blow to Alpha. (Another 6 on Alpha {2}.) Once again, the slime splits into smaller slimes.

The explosion chips away a bit of Alpha resulting in another split! inspiratieloos attempts to brace himself against the energy surge, but he is thrown backwards slightly. **inspiratieloos has

14/20

HP left.** Formerfish is far from the center of the explosion and suffers no damage. Despite suffering no damage, a bright light floods the area briefly and a magical force causes damage to Alpha. The slime splits into two once more.
Though it really does not matter here, resolution-wise, the explosion damage occurred to the slime before the damage from the redirection shield.

[Ircher]

For the rule about when it stops splitting with 5 HP or less is that before or after the slime takes damage?

The splits are considered after taking damage, so if an attack reduces the slime to 5 HP, it won't split from that attack. (Also keep in mind that splits occur immediately. Say a slime starts with 30 HP. The first attack deals 4 damage bringing the slime to 26 HP before the split and 13 HP after splitting. The next attack needs to deal only 8 damage (not 21 damage) to prevent the slime from splitting further.)

[Ircher]

You can't attack split slimes until the next round. (The good news is that they can't attack you.)

[Ircher]

If we participate by attacking a split slime but not an original, do we get EXP? I’m not getting dicked over on EXP if I can help it.

Yes you do. Any action counts for the purpose of gaining experience.

[Ircher]

Originally

, the intention was that double slash would only split the slime once;

however

, based on the way I worded the ability ('To be very clear, "taking damage" in this context means per attack,') I think double slash

would

split the slime twice because double slash is indeed considered two attacks. As far as blessings and that ilk goes, that's likely a case of me being forgetful/not thinking, but double slash should receive the bonus (or penalty) on both attack rolls. I will try to do that consistently from now on. If you think I have made a mistake, feel free to pm me or point it out in-thread.

[Ircher]

(expired on 2020-01-02 15:31:46) left in the round. You have four actions left unless I miscounted.

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 takes a deep breath as he attempts to recover from the shock of the slimes splitting. He then leads the charge as he slashes at the smallest slime. (6 on Alpha Delta {1}.)
(Defense:)

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Even though the slime dies, this roll is still relevant to determine the health of the split slime.

After Not Known 15 slashes it with his sword, Alpha Delta splits into two smaller slimes. Formerfish follows up Not Known's attack. This time, the slime is too small to split any further. (7 on Alpha Delta {2}.) dsjstr then stabs Alpha Delta, and the slime stops moving. (5 - 1 = 4 on Alpha Delta {3}.) **Alpha Delta is

the worst takes the opportunity to focus and concentrate on making his next attack count. Jackal711 and inspiratieloos do the same.

dsjstr stands paralyzed as the slime Alpha Beta comes and hugs him. Eventually, the slime lets him loose, but not before a few holes in his armor were created by the slime's corrosive acid. **dsjstr has

inspiratieloos springs forth and violently slashes at Alpha. dsjstr shouts words of encouragement further motivating inspiratieloos to do his best. His attack is also strengthened by his sharp focus.

Design a Skill or Spell Contest

Is there an active skill or spell you really want to see in the game? Well, you have a chance now to make that dream a reality. The rules of the contest are as follows:

1) Only one official entry per category (i.e.: one active skill and one spell) is allowed per player. You may submit additional concepts if you like, but only one of each type counts for consideration of the contest's prize.
2) You must include all the information requested below for the active skill/spell you are designing. Using the template is highly encouraged.
3) The winner of the contest will receive 2 XP. There may be an additional prize for winning, but that is being kept secret for the time being. The winning active skill and spell are guaranteed to be implemented in the game in some way, though you may not see it immediately.
4) You must be a registered player of the game at the start of the contest in order to participate. Suggestions from non-registered players are welcome, but they do not qualify for the contest's rewards.

For Active Skill Submissions:

Name:

What is the name of the skill? It doesn't have to be clever, but it should have a clear relation to what the skill does. Keep in mind that player characters are considered to be wielding swords for the most part.

Cooldown:

How many rounds must pass before the skill can be used again. Also, some skills may need an internal cooldown. To denote internal cooldowns, write something like "X CD / Y ICD" where X < Y.

Description:

What does the skill do? Exact numbers are not needed, but your description must be precise and clear. If your skill causes a new status effect that is not currently defined, you should define it in your description. Be sure there is a connection between the skill's name and its effects. Lastly, aim for a set of effects that are unique from pre-existing skills.

For Spell Submissions:

Name:

What is the name of the spell? It doesn't have to be clever, but it should have a clear relation to what the spell does.

Mana Cost:

How many magic points does the spell require to cast, and how many magic points does the spell use? Normally, the casting requirement and usage cost are the same, but for some spells, they may be different. If they are different, write something like "Cast: X MP | Uses: Y MP" where X < Y. Y may also include variables enclosed in curly braces ({}); for instance, you may write "Cast: 3 MP | Uses: 3 + {Number of Targets} MP."

Description:

As a general fyi, internal cooldowns do not carry over to the next battle. I could change that perhaps, but I think the current system works well.

Also, as a reminder, you do not have to provide exact numbers in your skill/spell description, but you may do so if you prefer.

One last thing: any spell that uses up >10 MP is probably too expensive. I believe based on my planning that MP caps out at a base of about 15-20 excluding skill points which raise it by another few points.

[Ircher]

Just a reminder this contest is still ongoing. I only have one entry for spells;

that's hardly a contest

! I would love some more submissions.

The deadline is February 28, 2020 9:00 PM EDT (GMT-5:00) or in (expired on 2020-02-28 21:00:00). Contest results will be announced by March 3, 2020 9:00 PM EDT (GMT-5:00) at the latest or in (expired on 2020-03-03 21:00:00).

(If you're 1-2 days late, I may still accept your submission.)

Design Contest Results

The design contest is now officially over.

The winner for the active skill category is...

Spoiler: *drumroll*

inspiratieloos for submitting Heavy Blow! Congratulations! The extra two XP has already been awarded. Note: Level changes aren't updated until the end of the battle.

The winner for the spell category is...

Spoiler: *drumroll*

Not Known 15 for submitting Essence Blast! Congratulations! The extra two XP has already been awarded. Note: Level changes aren't updated until the end of the battle.

As promised, the winning submissions will also appear in-game at some point with some adjustments to better suit the game. The secret additional prize is that the contest winners get a weaker copy of the skill/spell to use until they reach the level that the skill/spell is awarded at. (The winners can use their winning skill/spell anytime after this post; they do not have to wait for the current battle to end.) The skill descriptions are as follows:

Spoiler: Active Skill Winner

Level 0 "Heavy Blow" (4 CD / 1 ICD): Slams your weapon at an enemy for {Attack Dice} + {Attack Dice} + 3 damage total and counts as two actions to the action threshold. When Adrenaline Rush is active, this skill only counts as a single action.

Spoiler: Spell Winner

Level 0 "Essence Blast" (Cast: 4 Mana | Uses: {All Current Mana})^: Blast an enemy with all your remaining energy for {All Current Mana}d{Player Level} - 3 damage. Excess damage is split off to other enemies as described in the "Lightning" spell* except it can only split one time. This spell ignores all status modifiers except "Exhausted" and "Focus". After performing this spell, you gain the "Exhausted" modifier for {Player Level} / 2 (rounded down) battles. Exhausted players are subjected to the following restrictions: 1) "Healing Grace" and "Adrenaline Rush" no longer activate 2) Maximum HP is decreased by 10% (final result rounded up) 3) Maximum morale is decreased by 50% (rounded to nearest) 4) Active skill cooldowns are increased by one 5) Acts like a -1 curse and 6) Skills and spells from the Path of the Berserker and Path of the Magician cannot be used. "Exhausted" cannot be cured by conventional means.

* - The way "Lightning" works is it chains excess damage to other enemies as chosen arbitrarily by the moderator. Note that neither "Lightning" nor this spell can kill enemies with "Healing Grace" that possess greater than one HP.

^ - Some spells have both a "Cast" and a "Uses" cost. To cast the spell at all, you must possess at least {Cast} amount of mana. In addition, the spell will consume {Uses} mana. For instance, if you currently have 6 mana points and cast "Essence Blast", you will use up all six mana points and be left with zero mana. On the other hand, if you only have 2 mana points left, you will not be able to cast "Essence Blast".

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

[Ircher]

Good catch. I'll change it to ({Player Level} + 2 * {All Current Mana})d4 - 3 damage at level 0.

So for a player at level 6 with 5 mana left, the spell will deal 16d4 - 3 damage at spell level 0.

Also, (expired on 2020-03-03 15:00:00) until the round ends.

Attack Alpha Echo

Original Roll String: 1d8 (STATIC)

1 8-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Can this be switched to ACA?

Normally, my answer would be no, they would have to change it themselves, but I'm feeling nice, so I will accept this (without the normal changing penalty since Alpha Echo is dead.)

[Ircher]

inspiratieloos leaps forth and slashes at Alpha Delta Alpha Alpha. Unfortunately, he trips on a large rock throwing his stance off balance. He barely manages to hit the slime with his weapon. (3 so far on Alpha Delta Alpha Alpha {1}.)

Not Known 15 runs forward. Seeing inspiratieloos's attack fail, he slashes horizontally at Alpha Delta Alpha Alpha and follows up with a vertical slash against Alpha Echo. His blade slides right over the top of the first slime, but Alpha Echo lets out a shrill cry as Not Known 15's blade slices cleanly through it. (3 + 0 = 3 so far on Alpha Delta Alpha Alpha {2}.) (6 so far on Alpha Echo {1}.) **Alpha Echo is

dead

.**

After watching the failures of the previous two attackers against Alpha Delta Alpha Alpha, Formerfish tries his luck. He somersault forward and swings his blade in a sharp diagonal. As soon as his blade touches the slime, the slime ceases all motion. (3 + 6 - 1 = 8 so far on Alpha Delta Alpha Alpha {3}.) **Alpha Delta Alpha Alpha is

dead

.**

Seeing two slimes vanquished, Jackal711 decides he will vanquish another. He walks slowly at first, then he breaks into a run. He leaps into the air and sends a powerful slash downward on Alpha Charlie Beta. The slime shrivels up into a translucent speck. (8 so far on Alpha Charlie Beta {1}.) **Alpha Charlie Beta is

dead

.**

dsjstr stumbles forward towards where Alpha Echo was, confused by the ongoing commotion. Formerfish shouts, "No, not that way! Alpha Echo is already dead! Go left towards ACA!" dsjstr regains some sense and follows Formerfish's directions. Still in a dazed state of being, he swings his blade upward at Alpha Charlie Alpha. The blade cuts cleanly through the slime, and the slime splits into two smaller slimes. (4 so far on Alpha Charlie Alpha.)
(Defense roll:)

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

the worst, also confused about what to do, follows Formerfish's directions as well. He walks forward towards Alpha Charlie Alpha and sweeps his blade in a horizontal motion. The tip of the blade catches the slime and cuts off a small portion of it. (3 so far on Alpha Charlie.)

Alpha Alpha slithers towards the worst and attempts to hug him.

[Ircher]

Despite cutting cleanly through the slime, dsjstr's blade misses all of the slime's vital organs and the slime takes miniscule damage. **Alpha Charlie Alpha has

7/400

HP left.** the worst's also misses vital organs and performs similarly. **Alpha Charlie Alpha has

4/400

HP left.**
---
the worst, despite his earlier stupor, is paying enough attention to avoid being hugged by Alpha Alpha. He is a little late in his movement and suffers minor damage. **the worst has

14/20

HP left.**

inspiratieloos is not caught by surprise by Alpha Beta's sudden movement and carefully avoids the slime completely.

Formerfish, while not really paying attention, still manages to dodge out of the way of Alpha Charlie Alpha's really slow movement.

dsjstr, feeling courageous, leads the next assault. He charges forth and smites Alpha Charlie Alpha with his weapon. The slime lets out a high-pitch cry as it shrivels up into nothingness. (7 so far on Alpha Charlie Alpha {1}.) **Alpha Charlie Alpha is

dead

.**

Formerfish leans in close to Not Known 15 and whispers, "I believe in you!" Encouraged, Not Known 15 struts confidently forward and swings his blade at Alpha Charlie Alpha Alpha. The slime begins to slither backwards, but Not Known 15 was prepared. With a slight twist of his wrist, Not Known 15 changes his blade's trajectory to intercept the fleeing slime. The slime makes a final sound before disappearing. (8 so far on Alpha Charlie Alpha Alpha {1}.) **Alpha Charlie Alpha Alpha is

dead

.**

Seeing that all of the smaller slimes have been vanquished, the Murderhobos turn their attention to the two bigger slimes. "Death to Alpha Beta!" yells Jackal711 as he runs towards the slime. Once he is within melee distance, Jackal711 swings his blade not once, but twice. The slime splits into two smaller slimes twice. (6 and 1 so far on Alpha Beta.)

inspiratieloos is waiting for a chance to strike when he suddenly comes up with a great idea. He begins walking towards Alpha Beta. He then takes his weapon, twirls it around, and sends it crashing into Alpha Beta. A large chunk of the slime is sliced off. The slime splits into two smaller slimes. (10 so far on Alpha Beta.)

I am changing the way morale works slightly. The new description is as follows:

- Morale determines your resilience against fear and other illusionary effects. If a creature's morale drops below 0, they receive the Scared status (or another appropriate status depending on the skill/spell) until their morale is at or above 0 again. Scared characters are unable to act and unable to defend.

Morale increases by (Current HP%) of {Character Level} at the end of each round (rounded to nearest)

(until it reaches its maximum value.) Creatures that do not possess morale suffer the "Scared" status (or another appropriate status depending on the skill/spell) for three rounds if they take morale damage. Certain skills and spells will inflict morale damage. (For instance, if a character is level 6 and current possesses 15/20 HP, they will regain a maximum of (15/20) * 6 ~ 5 morale at the end of the round.)

This change was made because the previous regeneration rate did not scale well if a character possessed a lot of health. I have also dropped the 25% flee chance for scared monsters because I think that discourages players from using "Fear" since they lose out on experience from monsters that flee.

I'm also making another change: if you decide to quit and /out, that is no longer considered a death.

Thus, you can quit playing without losing your progress in case you come back. Your character stats will be frozen; if you ever decide to /in again, you will start back in the same state as you left. (This rule exists to discourage abuse; from a lore perspective, it doesn't make a lot of sense.)

Also, if you look at Post 1 that has all the player statuses, you will notice that I haved added summary information about the various specialization trees.

This will likely lead me to remove the "Extra Spells" and "Extra Skills" spoiler from the player statuses as they are now redundant. The information will still be there; I have just formatted it differently. Let me know if this leads to any confusion or questions.

[Ircher]

Jackal711's first strike cuts cleanly through Alpha Beta. His second strike does not fair as well and cuts off only a tiny sliver. **Alpha Beta has

6/400

Formerfish is too busy watching the actions of others to notice the threat creeping towards him. It is only after feeling an extended pain sensation that Formerfish leaps out from the clutches of Alpha Alpha. **Formerfish has

dsjstr fares even worse as Alpha Beta locks on to him. Even as he tries to escape, the slime continues to pursue him. Eventually, the slime relents, but not until after dsjstr has collapsed onto the ground.

**dsjstr has

1/15

A loud pop interrupts the battle's proceedings. Both the slimes and you turn your attention to the source of the noise: a dark robed woman. Suddenly you remember that there were two cultists earlier. While one of them left, the other one stayed behind. The cultist, who up to this point had simply observed, is staring straight at David. Whereas David was frozen in fear earlier, he is smiling now. "I see you are not as skilled as I thought you were, Andromeda," taunts David. "You!" hissed the cultist, "How could I lose! No matter! This all ends now!"

Andromeda begins humming an eerie tune. You attempt to tune it out but to no avail. "Now! This! Is! The! End! For! All! Of! You!" shouts Andromeda with heavy emphasis on each word. As the tune rises in volume, you feel a chilly sensation.

In case you are wondering what happened between David and Andromeda, Andromeda challenged David to a mind duel. I'll let y'all figure out the rest.

Original Roll String: 2d6

**the worst has 9/10 morale left.**
**inspiratieloos has 7/10 morale left.**
**Jackal711 has 3/10 morale left.**
**Gamma Emerald has 4/10 morale left.**

Just as quickly as it started, the tune suddenly stops. You look towards David and notice he is poised for battle. You also feel an energizing quality in the surrounding air. It looks like this battle has just gotten more interesting.

the worst begins the charge. He cartwheels to Alpha Beta Charlie and then swings at the slime. Unfortunately, he was too busy showing off instead of using proper technique. The slime's skin repels his blade easily. (2 so far on Alpha Beta Charlie {1}.) Not Known 15 sees the worst's failure of an attack and comes to rescue him. He sends his weapon crashing downward on the slime, and the slime disintegrates into millions of tiny specks. (2 + 10 = 12 so far on Alpha Beta Charlie {2}.) **Alpha Beta Charlie is

dead

.**

Despite his wounds, dsjstr crawls forward. He swings his blade angrily at Alpha Beta but misses! The slime easily outpaces him. (1 so far on Alpha Beta.)

inspiratieloos begins making motions and chants. Green and white wisps begin encircling his fingertips. He points towards dsjstr, and dsjstr is bathed in a weak white light. **dsjstr has

Intent on finishing the slime Alpha Beta, Formerfish start running towards it. Along the way, Jackal711 shouts at him, "May the odds be in your favor!" Encouraged, Formerfish takes aim from the right. (1 + 6 = 7 so far on Alpha Beta {2}.)

David begins studying the motions of the cultist. Of course, he already knows most of the cultist's tricks from his time as a fellow cultist. He learns the following information:

**Cultist Andromeda : Cultist Musician : Level = 6 | HP = 50 | MP = 24 | Morale = 100 | Attack = 1d4 | Defense = 1d4
- Passive Skill "Cultist Charm": This creature cannot be killed. If this creature is rendered unconscious, this creature's protective magic will auto-revive them in three rounds at 25% maximum health (rounded to nearest). The battle ends when all slimes are dead.
- Passive Skill "Perseverance": Instead of dying, this creature is rendered unconscious when this creature takes damage at 1 HP. Further damage will kill this creature. Healing items and spells restore unconscious characters to 1 HP, regardless of how much health is healed.
- Passive Skill "Healing Grace": If an attack causes this creature's health to drop to 1 HP or less (when they were above 1 HP beforehand), this creature will be left with 1 HP instead. If the creature takes damage at 1 HP, it falls unconscious.
- Passive Skill "Energizing": While this creature is conscious, all spells require and use one less mana to cast (for both friendly and hostile creatures).
- Magic Spell "Song of Medicine" (3 Mana): Plays a special song that cures one status affliction of all allies and heals all allies by 1d3 hitpoints.
- Magic Spell "Trill" (2 Mana): Plays a delightful trill and increases an ally's morale by 2d4 points.
- Magic Spell "Low Note" (1 Mana): Plays a low-pitched note and causes an enemy to lose 2d6 morale.
- Special Ability "Absorb Slime" (Unlimited use; does not end turn): Siphons the life force of a slime to restore HP and MP by half of the slime's remaining health.

Administrative Note: My spring break has ended, but I am going to try to update this twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday. We will see how this works; if it doesn't work well for me, the game may go back into an on hold state, but I think I can manage twice a week. Don't expect anything faster.

Next round ends on Saturday, March 14, 2020 2:00 PM EDT (GMT-4:00) or in (expired on 2020-03-14 14:00:00). (As always, if I haven't locked the thread by that time, you can continue to submit actions until I do. If there are less than four actions submitted, I'll wait.)

Jackal711 carefully tiptoes forward towards Alpha Beta position. He gets behinds the slime and sends his sword through the slime. The slime lefts out a pitiful cry as it disintegrates into nothingness. (7 on Alpha Beta {1}.) **Alpha Beta is

inspiratieloos surges into the battle and swings his blade down at Alpha Beta Beta. The slime lets out a high-pitched squeal and splits into two smaller slimes. (4 so far on Alpha Beta Beta.)

Formerfish runs up behind inspiratieloos and slashes at Alpha Beta Beta. He then slashes again at the slime. Unfortunately, his second attack misses the slime completely. (6 more on Alpha Beta Beta.)

dsjstr begins chanting ancient words and making complicated motions. Soon, his hands glow red and tiny red wisps start encircling his fingers. He points towards Alpha Beta Beta and a red flame engulfs the slime. The slime cries out in agony as it is seared by the hot flames. (3 more on Alpha Beta Beta.)

"I'm not sure if it's dead yet!" exclaims David as he loads his bow and quickly fires it at the slime. "That should finish it for sure!" (4 - 1 = 3 more on Alpha Beta Beta.) **Alpha Beta Beta is

inspiratieloos begins a majestic sprint and jumps over Alpha Beta Beta Alpha. He then stabs the slime from behind with his pointy blade. (6 so far on Alpha Beta Beta Alpha.) The slime splits into two smaller slimes.

Not Known 15 rushes forth towards Alpha Beta Beta Alpha with the intent of finishing the slime. dsjstr provides encouragement from the sideline, and with that extra push, Not Known 15 swings his blade down. The slime lets out a high-pitched cry and dies. **Alpha Beta Beta Alpha is

I removed all the dead slimes as the list was getting quite long and made it harder to read everything. Hopefully I don't accidentally re-use a name later in the fight, but that isn't likely anyway.

[Ircher]

The skills and spells stuff got moved to the bottom of the post. Since you are currently level 5, look for "Level 5 Player" then look at the spoilers below that for what skills and spells you can use. (The reason it's done this way is to save space. It also helps avoid inconsistencies.)

And indeed, you can use "Minor Heal", but it'll cost you two mana (technically one right now) mana. Currently, you have 4/4 mana, so yes, you can heal yourself. (Although, you also have level 1 "Adrenaline Rush". You could perform a normal attack instead for double damage and let someone else heal you. That does have the downside that if someone doesn't heal you, you could end up dying, so it is your choice to make.)

SP is the number of stat points you possess. You currently possess one stat point which you are using for health. If you want to check the maximum stat points you can have, you will have to search the post for "Level 5 Player" and look for where I write Stat Point. (For instance, under the level 5 player, I've written "1 Stat Point", so level 5 players have a maximum of one stat point to spend.)

Let me know if this helps.

(Also consider inviting more players. We're down to five active players without Jackal711. I think this fight is doable with that number; after all, that was going to be the original threshold, but at the same time, I was expecting damage to get spread out across the party originally (i.e.: not the same five people attacking every single time). I think if I redid this fight, the starting health of the slime would be much lower. 400 HP turns out to be a lot.)

[Ircher]

(expired on 2020-03-19 19:47:59) left in the round.

Y'all have an NPC action left.

(Y'all might also want to help direct our new player GeorgeBailey as to what he should do this round.)

[Ircher]

On a bright and sunny day, GeorgeBailey jumps out of bed. He dons his clothes and walks outside for a stroll. He is ambushed by a red slime on his stroll, but thanks to the help of some fearless locals, he manages to survives the attack. Seeing potential in GeorgeBailey, they direct him to the local inn noting that they were looking for adventurers. The local innkeeper informs him, "Now nearby here is a big cave. Until recently, the cave was a popular tourist attraction, but lately, it has attracted large quantities of slimes. We've already sent a band of adventurers down there, but we haven't heard from them in two days! Something unusual is a-happening, and we need to find out what it is. With that said, you like you could help! Why don't you go and check on the others?"

Despite knowing very little about how to fight, GeorgeBailey fervently accepts the request. "I've always dreamed of becoming an adventurer!" "Good luck and be sure to come back! Don't go missing like the others," responds the innkeeper. GeorgeBailey enters the cave. He soon notices a soft humming noise. He tries to figure out where it is coming from but to no avail. In fact, as he searches, he finds himself growing sleepier and sleepier. Eventually, he collapses to the ground and his vision fades to black. Several hours pass. GeorgeBailey manages to overcome his exhaustion and open his eyelids. He looks around only to learn he is in an entirely different section of the cave! "Is this the end? Will I die a horrifying death like most adventurers?" he wonders to himself. Then he hears the sound of steel and various shouts. He begins walking in the direction they are coming from. It doesn't take long for him to find a large band of adventurers locked in combat with several slimes and a dark robed cultist. "We needed reinforcements; perfect timing!" shouts one of the adventurers as they notice GeorgeBailey's presence.

inspiratieloos springs into action and sends his blade crushing into Alpha Beta Alpha. His attack is very accurate and a large chunk of the slime is cut off. The slime then splits into two smaller slimes. (13 so far on Alpha Beta Alpha.)
(Defense:)

dsjstr begins moving his hands in intricate ways and chanting ancient words. Red wisps form around his hands. He points towards Alpha Beta Beta Alpha Alpha, and the slime disintegrates into a pile of ash. (5 so far on Alpha Beta Beta Alpha.) **Alpha Beta Beta Alpha Alpha is

dead

.**

Moderator Note: Historically, for adrenaline rush to work, you had to act BEFORE you were healed. Now in this particular instance, I'm allowing it to still work despite being after healing, but I thought I would point this out. I'm also open to changing the policy to order never matters; however, I think it's an interesting trade-off of acting and taking advantage of adrenaline rush at the risk of not being healed versus being healed first but losing out on that advantage. Let me know what you think.

GeorgeBailey sees Formerfish prepare for a mega-attack and decides to send encouragement Formerfish's way. "Make it a killer!" GeorgeBailey shouts. Formerfish summons his courage and prepares his might. He takes his stance and strikes at Alpha Beta Alpha. A noticeable chunk of the slime is wiped off. (8 more on Alpha Beta Alpha.) The slime splits into two smaller slimes.

the worst starts making complex motions with his hands and shouting archaic words. His hands begin to glow white, and he points towards Formerfish. White light briefly bathe Formerfish restoring Formerfish's strength. **the worst has

5/6

MP left.** **Formerfish has

3/23

David pulls out two arrows from his quiver and loads his bow. He fires at Alpha Beta Alpha. He then fires a second time. The first arrow hits it mark, but the second one misses completely. (2 and 0 more on Alpha Beta Alpha.) Thankfully, the slime does not split this time.

I am actually gonna nullify Alpha Beta Alpha's action considering that Cultist Andromeda killed it. (Actions for the same side occur approximately simultaneously. Some things are sequenced, but this isn't one of those cases.) So yeah, pretend it wasn't there.

[Ircher]

Here, defense is always applied to the first few attacks. So the defense roll is applied against the 10 here.

[Ircher]

I did say that meaning if say you rolled a 1 on the first attack followed by a 4 for the second attack, then if the slime rolled a 2 for defense, 1 would be subtracted from the first attack and then the remaining 1 from the second. Thus, the first attack would do no damage while the second would deal 3.

Edit: You change the target if you like, but you aren't allowed to reroll. There will be no penalty if you change targets.

[Ircher]

inspiratieloos surges in to battle and attacks Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha. His stance is perfect and he cuts off a large chunk of the slime. (10 so far on Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha.) The slime splits into two smaller slimes.

Despite his recent injuries, GeorgeBailey summons the courage to attack once more. He slashes at Alpha Beta Alpha Beta, but his blade is stopped by the slime's thick skin. (2 so far on Alpha Beta Alpha Beta.)

Not Known 15 sees GeorgeBailey's struggles and goes in and attempts to finish the job. With a loud cry, he sends his blade into the slime. The slime lets out a shrill cry and dies. (6 more on Alpha Beta Alpha Beta.) **Alpha Beta is

Yes. It's taking longer than expected. (Well, it did change a little since you were here last.)

[Ircher]

(It might be worth noting you haven't acted in this battle yet though.)

As for ABAA, it depends on the defense roll currently. 1 => Dead; 2 => Not Dead.

[Ircher]

As a reminder, friendship skills (and friendship spells) do not currently grant friendship points. (That being said, I think a revamp of the system may be in order. I'd have to change point values, but if I did that, these actions would count.)

GeorgeBailey lets out a loud battle cry and creeps around Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha Alpha. Dang it, I just noticed we had two Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha's. The second one should've been Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha Alpha. There's no ambiguity in attacks since one of them was dead. Gamma Emerald takes the opportunity to express his confidence in GeorgeBailey's attack. He firmly grasps his weapon and with a focused attack, he stabs his blade forward. It collides with the slime, and the slime lets out its own farewell cry. **Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha Alpha is

inspiratieloos runs forth and slashes at Alpha Alpha while yelling out directions to some of the other Murderhobos. (8 so far on Alpha Alpha.) The enormous slime splits into two slightly smaller slimes.

Not Known 15 takes the time to concentrate on the current battle and to identify weakpoints.

Formerfish, spurred on by his injuries, releases his fury upon Alpha Alpha. The slime loses some chunks as Formerfish descends upon the slime. (2 more on Alpha Alpha.) The slime splits into two smaller slimes. Formerfish, who still has energy left, takes the remaining time to meditate and channel his fury in a healthy manner. **Formerfish has

I have updated the friendship system. The first change is that friendship points are now mutual among friends. This means that if the worst has three FP with Formerfish, then Formerfish has three FP with the worst. (Under the old system, relationships could be uneven: the worst could have three FP with Formerfish, while Formerfish had only one FP with the worst.) The second change is that friendship skills and friendship spells now grant Friendship Points. For the sake of simplicity, I am invalidating all previous Friendship Points gained (most of y'all had like zero or one FP with other players, so y'all haven't lost much.) These changes are effective as of the

end

of this round (meaning this round doesn't count).

Last note: the point thresholds have changed. The new description and friendship system is described completely in the following spoiler:

Spoiler: New Friendship System

Friendship System

(Courtesy of James Brafin for the initial design pitch.)

Basic Description:

Friendship Points (FP) are acquired by aiding allies during battles. Whenever you aid an ally, your relationship with them gains 1 FP. When you reach certain FP thresholds, your relationship with that player will level up, and you'll be able to use special friendship skills and spells. Only skills or spells that affect an ally (such as Bless/Curse) grant Friendship Points; if in doubt, please ask me. Skills and spells that affect multiple allies (such as Minor Heal All) only grant a single Friendship Point to a single ally of your choice. Players are solely responsible for keeping track of Friendship Points (as having me do it all is way too much hassle for it to be worth it). (It is very unlikely I'll be checking heavily, so much of this relies on me trusting the players.)

Friendship Points are also mutual meaning that if the worst has three Friendship Points with Formerfish, then Formerfish has three Friendship Points with the worst.

Each time you use an action that grants a Friendship Point, you should strive to include in your post your current Friendship Points totals. (Ideally, you'll wrap it into spoiler tags.) (Don't forget to account for times where your friend uses the skill/spell on you.)

All friendship skills/spells, unless otherwise noted, count as one action towards the action threshold. Players may only use one friendship skill/spell each per round, and there may be a limit on the total number of friendship actions the party may use per round, dependent on the battle. You may not use a friendship action on/with a player that has already used a friendship action on/with you. Similar to normal active skills, all stated friendship skill cooldowns are global among the friendship skills.

Where relevant and unless otherwise noted, valid targets for ally-targeting spells and skills are only valid on friends that you possess the required friendship level with.

(For instance, if Cerberus v666 has level 2 friendship with the worst and level 1 friendship with McMenno, Cerberus v666 can only use "Share" with the worst. He does not have the required level 2 friendship to use it with McMenno.)

Friendship Levels:

Level 1

(FP Needed: 0)
- Gain Friendship Skill "Aid" (3 FCD): Grants a +1 modifier to your friend's roll. This skill grants initiative.

Level 2

(FP Needed: 7)
- Gain Friendship Skill "Share" (2 FCD): Shares a normally non-transferable item with a friend.

Level 3

(FP Needed: 14)
- Gain Friendship Spell "Symbiosis" (Cast: 1 Mana | Uses: 1 + {Mana Transferred} Mana): Heals and restores your friend by transferring health and mana on a 1:1 ratio. You may choose how much health and mana to transfer. You cannot bring yourself below 1 HP using this spell.

Level 4

(FP Needed: 28)
- Gain Friendship Skill "Team Attack" (4 FCD): Attack an enemy together with your friend. (You should roll both for yourself and your friend.) Like "Double Slash", while this skill consists of two attacks, this skill only counts as one towards the penalty.

Your friend cannot act separately after you use this skill. It still only counts as one action to the action threshold.

Level 5

(FP Needed: 56)
- Gain Friendship Spell "Cleanse" (2 Mana): Fully cures a friend of all negative status afflictions except mental ones (like "Scared"). This includes some of the harder to remove afflictions like "Bleeding" and "Sealed". The primary exception to this is the "Exhausted" status--instead, your friend will recover from that status one battle sooner.

(Other exceptions may be added as needed.)

Not Known 15 hones his senses and focuses upon Alpha Alpha Beta. He waits until the perfect moment and then strikes. The slime is unprepared for the attack, and a large portion of the slime is chopped off. The slime splits into two smaller slimes. (8 more on Alpha Alpha Beta.)

inspiratieloos attacks next and leaps at Alpha Alpha Beta. He has some trouble getting his attack in amongst the attacks of GeorgeBailey and Not Known 15, but he does succeed in chopping off a sizeable piece of the slime. (7 - 1 = 6 more on Alpha Alpha Beta.)

Gamma Emerald begins reciting and performing the "Fire" spell ritual. His hands glow a bright red. He points at Alpha Alpha Beta, and the slime is engulfed by a red flame. The slime then turns to smoke. **Alpha Alpha Beta is

I've seen too many games where healing spells were absolutely overpowered, and people could be at full health all the time. I'm trying to avoid that; at the very least, I wish to avoid that for the lower levels. Maybe when y'all are say level 18, y'all can have overpowered healing spells. I think the current power of healing spells is perfectly fine anyway. They have their established niche.

GeorgeBailey starts moving towards Alpha Alpha Beta Beta, but he is redirected by his fellow adventurers to Alpha Alpha Beta Alpha. Unfortunately, he trips and stumbles on the way there significantly decreasing the power of the attack. (1 so far on Alpha Alpha Beta Alpha.) The slime is unfazed by the attack.

Not Known 15 begins creeping towards where Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha was previously, but he realizes the slime is dead, so he attacks Alpha Alpha Beta Beta instead. (6 so far on Alpha Alpha Beta Beta.)

inspiratieloos follows up with a quick and well-executed uppercut swing at Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha. The poor slime is neatly sliced in half and dies. **Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha is

Formerfish sneaks in a surprise attack on Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha. The slime splits into two smaller slimes. (1 + 5 = 6 so far on Alpha Beta Alpha Alpha.)

I would like to note that the ability to change targets after posting an action was originally meant for when people made mistakes (like trying to target an already dead target.)

If so, I'll have to make the penalty stricter.

GeorgeBailey shouts encouraging words to Formerfish as Formerfish readies his blade. Formerfish then leaps forth, but he lands in an awkward position dulling the impact of his strike. (3 more on Alpha Alpha Alpha.)

Gamma Emerald channels his mind's focus as he begins preparing the "Fire" spell. Red wisps start circling his hands. He points in the direction of Alpha Alpha Alpha, and a red light burns Alpha Alpha Alpha. The slime lets out another shriek as a large piece of it is burned off. (7 more on Alpha Alpha Alpha.)

Cultist Andromeda makes a motion with her hand as she points towards Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha. The slime becomes nothing, and the cultist is bathed in a white light. **Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha is

"So I lose it seems. Do with me as you please," states the cultist resignedly.

What do you plan to do with the cultist?

---
I'll figure up experience after y'all decide what to do with the cultist. Your options include killing her, letting her go, and whatever else y'all might think of.

[Ircher]

You can certainly try.

You'll have to submit specific questions though.

[Ircher]

Please bold whatever y'all decide as a group.

I'll go ahead and say the cultist won't join y'all for free. She needs an incentive to join other than sparing her life.

[Ircher]

(expired on 2020-04-09 15:30:00) to make a decision.

[Ircher]

Formerfish and the rest of the Murderhobos surround the cultist. They pull out their weapons, and one of the leaders shout, "Play any tricks, and we'll kill you, understood?" as the others restrain the cultist. "We have some questions. First, what exactly is it that you want to accomplish? What are your beliefs?" interrogates the leader.

"How can you comprehend it! The magnificence! The beauty! No, you cannot understand! It is beyond you! The Master Plan shall not be stopped!" responds Cultist Andromeda. Apparently, she doesn't like speaking in long sentences. Reluctantly, the Murderhobos let her go with the threat that if they see her again, they will kill her.

Congratulations, you won the battle!

Level 7

(XP Needed: 41)
- Hitpoints = 20 | Attack = 1d6 + 1d4 |

Defense = 1d6

- Mana Points = 5 | Morale = 10 |

2 Stat Points

-Gain passive skill "Critical Hit":

If you roll {Max Attack Dice Roll} - 1 or higher on a normal attack, your target is stunned for one round.

-Gain active skill "Berserk Lunge" (4 CD):

Lunges at an enemy for {Attack Dice} damage. If the target takes damage, the target is stunned for three rounds. After using this skill, you are stunned for two rounds (the rest of this round and the following round).

-Gain magic spell "Magic Arrows" (Cast: 1 Mana | Uses: {Number of Targets} Mana):

Attacks a number of targets not to exceed {Remaining Mana} with magic-laden arrows that deal 1d8 damage each.

-Gain special ability "Trick Die" (Max one use per battle):

Once per battle, you may reroll any die roll *that you make*. Note that for actions that do multiple dice rolls (such as double slash), *you can only reroll one of the die rolls, not both.* (To be clear, if you perform a normal attack, that still counts as one die roll, so you can (and must) reroll both the 1d6 and 1d4 when using this ability.)

-Upgrade active skill "Defensive Slash" to level 3 (4 CD):

Slashes at an enemy for {Attack Dice} - 3 damage. You will take no damage for one round.

-Upgrade active skill "Double Slash" to level 2 (4 CD):

Slashes an enemy twice for {Attack Dice} and {Attack Dice} - 1 damage.

-Upgrade magic spell "Bless" to level 2 (2 Mana):

Blesses a target giving their dice rolls a +2 modifier for three rounds.

-Upgrade magic spell "Minor Heal" to level 2 (2 Mana):

Heals an ally by 1d4 hitpoints.
- Special abilities are special because they generally do not count as actions. They tend to have meta effects (like rerolling a bad attack). That said, they are not passive abilities meaning you have to consciously use them. Unless otherwise specified, special abilities do not use up a player's a turn or count towards the action threshold.

Level 7.A: Path of the Berserker

-Gain active skill "Reckless Swipe" (3 CD):

Attacks an enemy recklessly for {Attack Dice} + 3 damage, but enemies become more likely to target you for two rounds, and you become defenseless for two rounds.

-Upgrade active skill "Fury Blade" to level 2 (4 CD / 1 ICD):

Attacks an enemy for {Attack Dice} - 1 damage and grants a bonus action to the user.

Level 7.B: Path of the Warrior

-Gain active skill "Piercing Slash" (5 CD / 2 ICD):

Attacks an enemy with the intent to pierce through skin for {Attack Dice} - 4 damage. If the target takes damage, the target receives the "Bleeding" status for two rounds. Bosses and minibosses are immune to this skill. (Any enemy that explicitly specifies "Level = #" is considered a boss or a miniboss.)

-Upgrade active skill "Cross Slash" to level 2 (4 CD):

Attacks two different enemies for {Attack Dice} - 1 damage. If an enemy takes damage from this attack, that enemy takes an additional one damage.
Does the bold for all the new skills etc. make this easier or harder to read?

MP: 2 -> 3

At long last, the battle with the Hydra Slime ends. You begin traveling through the various tunnels of the cave intent on finding the cultist behind all of this. Eventually, you run into a small group of angry lizards.

[Ircher]

Gamma Emerald takes some time to observe the enemy's motions. He learns the following informatio about Alpha:

Spoiler: Alpha Scrying Results

**Angry Lizard : HP = 15 | Morale = 5 | Attack1 = 1d4 | Attack2 = 1d2 | Attack3 = 1d2 | Defense = 1d4
- Active Skill "Bite" (4 CD): Attacks an enemy for {Attack Dice} + 1 damage.
- Active Skill "Deep Scratch" (6 CD): Scratches an enemy and digs deep into their skin for {Attack Dice} damage. If this skill does damage, the target receives the "Bleeding" status for three rounds. For each round of "Bleeding" left, a character loses 10% of their current health (multiplicatively).
- Special Ability "Frenzy" (Single use; keep turn; only at <=50% HP): This creature enters a frenzy where attacks become stronger and faster at the cost of defense. All attack rolls (including skills) gain a +1 modifier, and active skills leave cooldown one round sooner. All defensive rolls for this creature are halved.

inspiratieloos rushes forth and strikes twice at Alpha. (3 + 6 = 9 so far on Alpha.) The lizard attempts to slow the blade with its thick skin.

Formerfish attacks Beta with a powerful uppercut slash. (7 so far on Beta {1}.) David loads his bow and fires at Beta. (7 + 6 = 13 so far on Beta {2}.) Not Known 15 also attempts to get an attack in, but he has a lot of difficulty maneuvering around Formerfish and David's actions. (13 + 3 - 1 = 15 so far on Beta. {3})

Alpha's skin barely slows inspiratieloos's blade allowing significant damage to be dealt. **Alpha has

Beta survives the incoming onslaught of attacks with just a sliver of health left. **Beta has

inspiratieloos is quick to react against Alpha's actions, but the lizard moves much faster causing inspiratieloos to lose some health. **inspiratieloos has

Gamma Emerald fares much worse than inspiratieloos. The lizard leaves many scratch marks on his armor. **Gamma Emerald has

9/20

Not Known 15 makes an attempt to outrun Charlie, but he has little success. The lizard digs deep into his armor, and blood starts to pour out of Not Known 15's wounds.

Not Known 15 is bleeding for three rounds.

You need to roll. I think it's a 1d2, but you should double-check. I'll resolve tomorrow morning/early afternoon.

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 quickly strikes at Beta. He uses the perfect technique, and the lizard falls over dead. **Beta is

dead

.**

David shoots two shots in quick succession at Alpha. One arrow lands in the lizard's left eye while the other lands in the lizard's right eye. **Alpha is

dead

Jackal711 readies his blade strikes at Charlie twice. He uses good technique increasing the power of his attacks. (8 + 6 = 14 so far on Charlie {1}.) inspiratieloos follows up with a stab from behind, and the great lizard falls to the ground motionless. **Charlie is

dead

Gamma Emerald takes some time meditate and think clearly. **Gamma Emerald has

10/20

HP left.**

I don't think there has ever previously been an instance where a damage over time effect lasted after a battle ended. From a logical perspective, you should probably take all the damage at once at the end of the battle. At the same time, most statuses etc. clear after a battle. I'm going to go with the middle road of you take damage on the final round of the battle, but the status clears after that.

The group of Murderhobos continue on their way when they start to hear more humming from deeper within. They attempt to track down the source of the humming, but they are apprehended by a group of colored slimes. The slimes start making weird noises; this gives off the feeling that they are alerting someone to the group's presence or calling for reinforcements.

GeorgeBailey courageously steps into battle and slashes at Alpha. He accidentally loses his footing decreasing the potency of his blow. (3 so far on Alpha.) **Alpha has

14/17

inspiratieloos slashes twice at Beta with great force. Large pieces of the slime are chopped off. (8 + 4 - 1 = 11 so far on Beta.) **Beta has

Formerfish releases his fury on Charlie. (2 so far on Charlie {1}.) Still raging and full of energy, Formerfish follows up by making the motions and chants needed for the "Tornado" spell. His hands begin to glow blue. He points at Delta and Echo, and stunning torrents of wind are sent their way. (5 so far on Delta.) (5 so far on Echo.) **Delta has

Gamma Emerald takes time to observe Alpha's motions. He learns the following information:

**Red Slime : HP = 17 | Morale = 5 | Attack = 1d6 + 1d3 | Defense = 0d2
- Passive Skill "Leeching Touch": This creature heals a number of hitpoints equal to the amount of damage it deals with normal attacks each round.

David takes out an arrow from his quiver. He loads his bow, aims it at Charlie, and fires. He manages to skewer away a big chunk of the slime. (2 + 7 = 9 so far on Charlie {2}.) Not Known 15 follows up with a double slash. (9 + 5 + 5 - 1 = 18 so far on Charlie {3}.) **Charlie is

dead

.**
I'm not sure why -4 was used. There should be -1 to the second for double slash and -1 for the gang up penalty.

Formerfish slashes at Hotel. He stumbles while performing the action causing his blade to attack the wrong spot. (3 so far on Hotel {1}.) inspiratieloos follows up with a quick stab from behind. It does moderate damage. (3 + 5 = 8 so far on Hotel {2}.) GeorgeBailey attempts to go in for the kill, but he is not skilled enough. The slime survives with a fraction of health left. (8 + 4 - 1 = 11 so far on Hotel {3}.) **Hotel has

HP left.**

Gamma Emerald begins making complex motions with his hands and reciting archaic words. Blue and white wisps form around his hands. He points at Juliet and Kilo, and the wisps are sent flying. **Gamma Emerald has

PrivateI suffers moderate damage from Alpha's corrosive acids. **PrivateI has

Formerfish almost avoids Hotel's attack, but unfortunately, the slime still manages to spread some of its acid on him. Black wisps begin circling around Formerfish. **Formerfish has

Formerfish is cursed (-2) for three rounds.

inspiratieloos tries to dodge the incoming object, but India accounted for inspiratieloos's movements, and the object hits inspiratieloos in the nose. **inspiratieloos has

[Ircher]

Yes ofc.

You might want to consider letting a more experienced player guide you, at least for the first round.

[Ircher]

Yes they do. So you can use a friendship skill on your next turn despite using an active skill this turn.

[Ircher]

That's correct.

[Ircher]

Aid counts as a normal action, so generally speaking, you would only be able to aid in a round you use it, and nothing else. (i.e.: You cannot aid and attack in the same round.)

Don't worry about the questions. It's a complex game.

[Ircher]

1 action left. (expired on 2020-04-20 16:00:00) left in the round.

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 draws his blade and slashes vertically at Hotel followed by a horizontal slash at Kilo. His blade manages to cut off significant portions of both slimes. A magical force helps guides his second slash. (8 so far on Hotel {1}. 5 so far on Kilo {1}.) **Hotel is

dead

.** David quickly withdraws two arrows and fires them in quick succession at Kilo. Both hit their target and skewers off small parts of the slime. (5 + 4 + 3 = 12 so far on Kilo {2}.) **Kilo is

dead

.**

lilith2013 leaps out of bed after an intense nightmare. It is late afternoon on a stormy day. She arms herself and goes out for a relaxing walk. Alas, a group of gelatinous menaces surround her and begin closing in on her. Despite her inexperience with blades and fighting in general, she fearly attempts to cut them down. Though she struggles at first, she gets some aid from some traveling locals, and they manage to defeat the slimes. Seeing her courage, the locals direct her to a sign posted out of a local inn calling for adventurers.

The innkeeper there explains, "Several troubling reports are still coming about. We've sent several adventurers in the direction of this cave, a former tourist attraction now infested with slimes, but none have returned in two days! You look brave. How about you go and help. And please, send a report back!" "Finally! A chance to prove myself!" lilith2013 thinks to herself as she accepts the request. She enters only to hear a soft but annoying humming noise coming from deeper within the cave. She presses onward and defeats a few small slimes, but eventually, she loses consciousness.

When lilith2013 awakens, she finds herself in an entirely different part of the cave. "That's strange," she thinks. lilith2013 hears the clash of steel in the distance. "There must be the other adventurers." She follows the noise until she comes across the sight of several adventurers fighting a large quantity of slimes. "Yes! Another reinforcement!" yells one of the adventurers as they notice her presence. "Attack that slime and be quick about it!" directs the adventurer.

lilith2013 follows the directions given and quickly slashes at Juliet. Despite her inexperience, she does manage to slice off a small but significant portion of the slime. (2 so far on Juliet {1}.) inspiratieloos puts all his strength into finishing off the slime as he slashes twice at it. (2 + 9 + 5 = 16 so far on Juliet {2}.) **Juliet is

dead

.**

Gamma Emerald performs the spell ritual "Tornado" and summons the power of the winds. His hands begin to glow a bright blue. Formerfish shouts out a word of encouragement to Gamma Emerald. He points at Alpha and India, and gusts of wind are sent in those directions. (4 so far on Alpha. {1}) (3 so far on India {1}.) **Gamma Emerald has

Alpha and India are stunned for one round.

Some rule changes are being made:
1) 100-sided dice are being added as valid. It's a bit hard to do special effects and that sort of thing with only 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8-sided dice. (E.g.: What if I want something to occur 10% of the time? That's hard to do with the current options.) 100-sided dice will never be used as attack dice or defense dice; they're reserved for special effect rolls and things of that nature.
2) Some clarifications/additions are being made. These should help clarify some common questions from newer players.
3)

Effective at the end of this battle

, new players will begin at level 3. (Yes, we just had a new player join, but I don't want to change this in the middle of a battle for certain reasons.)

[Ircher]

India's thick skin does not help it much against Gamma Emerald's attack. **India has

14/21

Gamma Emerald tries to avoid Foxtrot, but unfortunately, the slime is too determined. The slime's touch places invisible whispers in his ears. **

Yes, I think it should.

Formerfish rushes forward and slashes at Alpha. His blade cuts off a small portion of the slime. (3 so far on Alpha {1}.) inspiratieloos follows up with an uppercut slash and slices off a larger portion of the slime. (3 + 6 = 9 so far on Alpha {2}.)

You continue advancing towards the humming noise. Along the way, you meet more slimes that you easily slaughter. Eventually you run into a young man wearing robes. The robes are different from the robes that the cultists wear. When he sees you armed with your weapons, he starts running away, but then he realizes that you are not the same cultists causing all the chaos in the caves, so he turns back. He greets you in a soft voice, "I am Havner. I was here investigating the crystal structure of the caves before those darn cultists started filling the caves with slimes. Now I am trapped here forever." You introduce yourselves and note that you are working to kill the cultists. "Welll, that's great! I will finally be able to leave and share my research! I think you are pretty close to the source now; there has been lots of loud humming coming in that direction." Havner points a little deeper into the cave. "While I am not able to fight, I can help you stock up on some goods. I'm afraid I can't part with my goods for free though. I also know some healing and restoration rituals," states Havner. You take him up on his offer. Havner begins a very long spell ritual that takes about two hours to complete. At the end of it, you feel greatly rejuvenated.

The party's HP has been healed by 5 and MP has been restored by 1.

Havner shows you his goods:

Havner's Goods:

1. Lesser Healing Potion (75 Copper and 3 Silver): Heals 1d4 hitpoints of an ally.
2. Curing Potion (2 Silver): Cures all status afflictions of an ally.

3. Smoky Crystal (5 Silver): Grants the "Invisible" status to the party for three rounds. Using direct damage spells and skills will end the effect early. Invisible players are significantly less likely to be detected and attacked by enemies.
4. Blessing Crystal (7 Silver): Grants the "Blessed" (+2) status to the party for three rounds.
5. Fury Crystal (8 Silver): Grants the "Hasted" status to the party for three rounds.

6. Scroll of Inspiration (50 Copper)

(Special Offer!)

: Casts a level one "Inspire" spell on an ally: increases the morale of an ally by 2d4.
7. Scroll of Fire (20 Copper and 3 Silver): Casts a level one "Fire" spell on an enemy: sears an enemy for 1d3 damage and ignores enemy defenses.
8. Scroll of Lightning (15 Silver): Casts a level one "Lightning" spell on an enemy: zaps an enemy with lightning for 1d8 + 1d4 damage. Excess damage is split off to another target, and this process can be chained indefinitely.
9. Resurrection Scroll (3 Gold): Revives a dead or unconscious ally and restores 50% of their HP. They do not suffer the normal experience penalty, but this scroll must be used within three rounds of the ally's death.
10. Scroll of Awakening (40 Copper)

(Special Offer!)

: Cures a single ally of the "Sleeping" status.

Conversion Rates:

100 Copper Coins = 1 Silver Coin
25 Silver Coins = 1 Gold Coin

Now might be a good time to point out that if a character does not possess morale, things that would generally increase morale instead have the effect of curing those characters of mental status afflictions. For instance, if XYZ is scared and below level 6, casting "Inspire" on XYZ will immediately cure them of their "Scared" status.

Please bold your purchases. When you are done shopping, please bold such. You have until (expired on 2020-04-24 19:00:00) to make your decisions.

I'll extend the shop deadline. Check this post later for the new deadline.

Haste basically grants a bonus action like Fury Blade does, so no, only one action counts towards the action threshold.

The party means all living non-retired players. It includes those who are alive but have not participated in the battle. The new deadline is tomorrow by 4:00 PM EDT or in (expired on 2020-04-25 16:00:00).

"Thank you for your business. Good luck against the cultists and slimes," Havner states as he collects your money and counts off ten copper coins in change. You proceed further into the cave. A few more slimes appear, but they are no match for your prowess. Soon, the tunnel widens and you enter a very spacious room. Inside, you see two figures talking to each other. You recognize one of the figures. It is the same cultist who ordered Cultist Andromeda to unleash the Hydra Slime upon you. She is in the same dark robes as she was earlier. The other figure is also wearing robes of a slightly lighter shade. You stop for a moment and attempt to overhear their conversation. Sadly, they are talking a volume too low for you to eavesdrop.

You boldly walk forth into the room and notice that the air around you has that same energizing quality you have experienced throughout the caves. "They finally came! I'm impressed you made it this far," states the unknown figure upon seeing you. "How are you here? I thought I told Cultist Andromeda to kill you! She'll pay for her incompetence!" shouts the familiar figure angrily. "Well since you are here, how about we chat for a moment. You know, before we try to end each others' lives?" suggests the unknown figure. While still on high alert, you decide to take him up on the offer. Each of you introduces your name. The lighter-robed figure responds, "So you are the incredible band of adventurers that has been disrupting our plans. My name is not important; you may simply call me the Slimemancer because I have been creating these slimes. To the right of me here is my good friend Cultist Zykkia. Well, introduction time is over; I am afraid this is the end of the road for you all." The Slimemancer then turns and looks directly at David and states, "Especially for you. We shall have prepare a special death for your treachery." You suddenly notice that the two of them are not alone; a very small slime and a very large slime accompany them.

David, who was not paying attention to the conversation, suddenly distributes your leaders some scrolls. On them are inscribed information about the Slimemancer and Cultist Zykkia. "This is all I know. Be careful; these cultists are bound to have some tricks up their sleeves."

- Passive Skill "Healing Grace": If an attack causes this creature's health to drop to 1 HP or less (when they were above 1 HP beforehand), this creature will be left with 1 HP instead. If the creature takes damage at 1 HP, it dies.
- Passive Skill "Second Chance": The first time this creature reaches zero or less health, this creature is instantly revived instead. All status changes and cooldowns of this creature are reset upon activation of this ability.
- Passive Skill "In Control": Crowd control effects last for one less round than normal on this creature.
- Passive Skill "Energizing": While this creature is alive, all spells require and use one less mana to cast (for both friendly and hostile creatures).
- Magic Spell "Lullaby" (7 Mana): Sings a magical lullaby that causes enemies to sleep. For each enemy, roll a 1d6. If the result is a 5 or a 6, that creature receives the "Sleeping" status. Sleeping enemies cannot act, cannot defend, and are vulnerable to attacks (as in skills and normal attacks, not spells) (2x damage). If a sleeping character is attacked (including by spells), they immediately wake up.
- Magic Spell "Confusion Wave" (7 Mana): Confuses all enemies and increases their global cooldown by three rounds.
- Magic Spell "High Note" (3 Mana): Plays a high-pitched note and causes an enemy to lose 1d3 mana points.
- Magic Spell "Low Note" (1 Mana): Plays a low-pitched note and causes an enemy to lose 3d4 morale.
- Magic Spell "Low Melody" (4 Mana): Plays a very dark and low-pitched melody and causes all enemies to lose 1d8 + 1d4 morale.
- Magic Spell "Inspiration Song" (9 Mana): Plays a short, inspirational song blessing (+1) all allies for three rounds.
- Magic Spell "Song of Medicine" (4 Mana): Plays a special song that cures one status affliction of all allies and heals all allies by 1d3 hitpoints.
- Magic Spell "Charm" (3 Mana): Deals 2d6 morale damage to an enemy. If the target's morale drops to zero or less, that target receives the "Charmed" status. Charmed characters attack allies (during the opposite team's turn; that is, charmed player characters will attack at the same time as monsters) until their morale rises back up to above zero. Charmed characters' actions do not count against the action threshold.

Gamma Emerald begins reciting ancient words and making complicated movements with his hands. Soon, purple and yellow wisps appear around his hands. He points at Cultist Zykkia, and the wisps leave his hands and fly towards Cultist Zykkia. **Gamma Emerald has

Cultist Zykkia is silenced for one round.

Jackal711 raises his blade and slashes twice at Cultist Zykkia. lilith2013 whispers encouraging words before Jackal711 strikes. (9 + 6 = 15 so far on Cultist Zykkia {1}.)

Not Known 15 takes some time to observe the movements of the Proto-T Slime. He learns the following information:

Spoiler: Proto-T Slime Scrying Info

**Proto-T Slime : Tiny Slime : Level = 7 | HP = 49 | Morale = 17 | Attack1 = 1d4 | Attack2 = 1d3 | Defense = 1d2
- Passive Skill "Fire Vulnerability": This creature is vulnerable to the "Fire" and "Flame Arrows" spells. These spells do {Dice Roll} + 2 damage.
- Passive Skill "Hasted": This creature can act twice in one round.
- Passive Skill "Quick Strike": This creature acts before creatures without quick strike.
- Active Skill "Quick Slime" (3 CD): Coats an enemy in slime quickly for {Attack Dice} - 2 damage. This skill also grants initiative.
- Active Skill "Slime Field" (4 CD): Increases everyone's cooldowns (both friendly and hostile, but excluding this creature) by two rounds. This skill deals no damage.
- Special Ability "Frenzy" (Single use; keep turn; only when Cultist Zykkia is dead): This creature enters a frenzy where attacks become stronger and faster at the cost of defense. All attack rolls (including skills) gain a +1 modifier, and active skills leave cooldown one round sooner. All defensive rolls for this creature are halved.

Formerfish follows up with another two slashes at Cultist Zykkia. GeorgeBailey offers some words of advice, increasing Formerfish's strength. (15 + 3 + 5 = 23 so far on Cultist Zykkia {2}.) The cultist attempts to partially evade the attack.

Cultist Zykkia utterly fails to evade the combined attacks of Formerfish and Jackal711 and suffers a lot of damage. **Cultist Zykkia has

The Slimemancer's attempt to generate a defensive force field fail and only a weak one is formed. **The Slimemancer has

A giant slime, a black slime, and a white slime appear from the Slimemancer's summoning.

Cultist Zykkia, in her fury, almost misses Jackal711 completely with her blade. Instead, her blade grazes off a small portion of the skin on Jackal711's right arm. **Jackal711 has

19/20

Despite the Proto-T Slime's nimble movement, inspiratieloos is faster and manages to avoid the slime completely. Not Known 15 is not as fast and suffers moderate damage from the slime's acids. **Not Known 15 has

Initiative for enemies cancels out player initiatives. So if one enemy has initiative, the first initiative-granting action you perform still counts towards the action threshold for that round.

[Ircher]

You are on cooldown (because the enemy increased everyone's cooldowns last round), so I'll be only accepting the first set of rolls.

(expired on 2020-05-02 15:26:58) left in the round.

It appears five people have acted. I'll resolve actions tonight.

[Ircher]

Assuming the enemies don't use a cooldown increasing action again, you'll be off cooldown at the end of this round.

The enemies used an action last round that increased everyone's cooldowns by two roundz. That is why you are currently on cooldown.

[Ircher]

Not Known 15 makes a circular gesture with his hands and then draws a cross. Several wisps of varying colors appear around him. He points towards the Proto-G Slime, and the wisps begin flying in that direction. Soon afterward, they return to Not Known 15 and impart to him knowledge about the slime.

Spoiler: Proto-G Slime Examination Information

**Proto-G Slime : Giant Slime : Level = 7 | HP = 74 | Morale = 17 | Attack = 1d6 + 1d4 | Defense = 1d4
- Passive Skill "Critical Hit": If this creature rolls a 9 or 10 on a normal attack, the target is stunned for two rounds.
- Passive Skill "Sluggish": This creaature acts on odd-numbered rounds only.
- Active Skill "Double Slime" (4 CD): Attacks an enemy for {Attack Dice} and {Attack Dice} - 1 damage.
- Active Skill "Slime Field" (4 CD): Increases everyone's cooldowns (both friendly and hostile, but excluding this creature) by two rounds. This skill deals no damage.
- Special Ability "Berserk Mode" (Single use; keep turn; only when Cultist Zykkia is dead): This creature becomes berserk where attacks become stronger at the cost of control and defense. All attack rolls gain a +2 modifier, but this creature loses all magic spells, active skills, and special abilities. This creature also becomes immune to crowd control and mental status afflictions, but all attacks made against this creature ignore defenses.

David shoots his bow at the Proto-T Slime and manages to land a critical hit. (9 so far on Proto-T Slime {1}.) GeorgeBailey follows up with an uppercut slash, but his aim is a bit off. (9 + 3 = 12 so far on Proto-T Slime {2}.) The slime attempts to defend itself.

Originally I didn't specify a time limit on the Sleeping status from this spell, but I'm going to set it to three rounds. I think it's better balanced that way than being indefinite/until cured or attacked.

inspiratieloos attacks Cultist Zykkia and manages to land a critical blow. The cultist continues to stand strong even after the attack. (10 so far on Cultist Zykkia {1}.)

Formerfish begins making intricate motions and reciting ancient words. Soon, his hands glow red. He points at the Proto-T Slime, and a ball of fire roasts the slime. The slime lets out a cry as the flame burns it. (3 so far on Proto-T Slime.) **The Proto-T Slime has

Formerfish attempts to dodge the Proto-G Slime, but instead, he finds himself running towards the slime instead.

dsjstr leaps forth and slashes at the Slimemancer. He manages to land a moderately strong strike. (4 so far on the Slimemancer {1}.) inspiratieloos follows up by sneaking behind the cultist and plunging his blade deep into the cultist. (4 + 8 = 12 so far on the Slimeancer {2}.) David removes an arrow from his quiver. He draws his bow, looks at the Slimemancer, and fires. The arrow flies through the air and lodges itself in the Slimemancer's right arm. The Slimemancer removes the arrow and blood comes pouring out from the wound. (12 + 8 - 1 = 19 so far on the Slimemancer {3}.)

Not Known 15 winds his hands in a circular gesture and then forms a cross gesture. Wisps of various colors appear. He points at Cultist Zykkia, and the wisps fly towards the cultist. After a while, they return to Not Known 15 and impart to him new knowledge.
Note: Shown items are the items that the cultist possessed at the beginning of the battle. It is possible that some items have already been used.

Spoiler: Cultist Zykkia Creature Examination Results

**Cultist Zykkia : Cultist Musician : Level = 7 | HP = 49 | MP = 30 | Morale = 40 | Attack = 2d3 | Defense = 1d2
- Passive Skill "Healing Grace": If an attack causes this creature's health to drop to 1 HP or less (when they were above 1 HP beforehand), this creature will be left with 1 HP instead. If the creature takes damage at 1 HP, it dies.
- Passive Skill "Second Chance": The first time this creature reaches zero or less health, this creature is instantly revived instead. All status changes and cooldowns of this creature are reset upon activation of this ability.
- Passive Skill "In Control": Crowd control effects last for one less round than normal on this creature.
- Passive Skill "Energizing": While this creature is alive, all spells require and use one less mana to cast (for both friendly and hostile creatures).
- Magic Spell "Lullaby" (7 Mana): Sings a magical lullaby that causes enemies to sleep. For each enemy, roll a 1d6. If the result is a 5 or a 6, that creature receives the "Sleeping" status. Sleeping enemies cannot act, cannot defend, and are vulnerable to attacks (as in skills and normal attacks, not spells) (2x damage). If a sleeping character is attacked (including by spells), they immediately wake up.
- Magic Spell "Confusion Wave" (7 Mana): Confuses all enemies and increases their global cooldown by three rounds.
- Magic Spell "High Note" (3 Mana): Plays a high-pitched note and causes an enemy to lose 1d3 mana points.
- Magic Spell "Low Note" (1 Mana): Plays a low-pitched note and causes an enemy to lose 3d4 morale.
- Magic Spell "Low Melody" (4 Mana): Plays a very dark and low-pitched melody and causes all enemies to lose 1d8 + 1d4 morale.
- Magic Spell "Inspiration Song" (9 Mana): Plays a short, inspirational song blessing (+1) all allies for three rounds.
- Magic Spell "Song of Medicine" (4 Mana): Plays a special song that cures one status affliction of all allies and heals all allies by 1d3 hitpoints.
- Magic Spell "Charm" (3 Mana): Deals 2d6 morale damage to an enemy. If the target's morale drops to zero or less, that target receives the "Charmed" status. Charmed characters attack allies (during the opposite team's turn; that is, charmed player characters will attack at the same time as monsters) until their morale rises back up to above zero. Charmed characters' actions do not count against the action threshold.
- Consumable Item "Invulnerability Potion": Renders an ally immune to damage for 1d3+1 rounds.
- Consumable Item "Greater Mana Potion": Restores 2d6 mana points to an ally.

lilith2013 twirls her blade and then slashes downward at Delta. A small chunk of the slime is sliced off. (5 so far on Delta {1}.) **Delta has

12/17

Formerfish, despite his wounds, rushes forth. "Blood for the blood gods!" he shouts as he mercilessly attacks the Slimemancer. The Slimemancer attempts to flee from Formerfish's onslaught, but to no avail. He collapses to the ground exhausted. With great difficulty, he manages to get back onto his feet. (19 + 12 - 2 = 29 so far on the Slimemancer {4}.) **The Slimemancer has

1/49

HP left.**

The Slimemancer removes a bright white amulet from around his neck and chants a few words of command. The amulet disintegrates into a thousand gray specks, and the Slimemancer's body begins to fade. After some time, the Slimemancer becomes fully transparent.

The Slimemancer is invisible for three rounds. Invisible monsters are unable to be directly targeted by actions. (Actions that target all enemies or actions that target an enemy indirectly (e.g.: lightning when splitting damage) can still damage or otherwise affect this enemy.)

The Slimemancer begins reciting ancient words. Soon, white wisps appear and encircle the air. They fly in a certain direction and disappear.

The Slimemancer is blessed (+2) for three rounds.

Cultist Zykkia removes a vial containing a blue liquid from a compartment hidden in her robes. She drinks the contents of the vial in one big gulp and then throws the vial in the direction of her opponents.

Delta also begins making unusual sounds and motions. The slime's body glows a dark blue. The slime makes a gesture towards lilith2013. A blue light flashes over lilith2013, and lilith2013 finds herself unable to concentrate on difficult tasks.

lilith2013 has gained one level of the Sealed status. For every level of the "Sealed" status affliction you possess, you lose access to one player level of spells. (This includes casting higher level spells; you will have to cast the lower level variant if applicable.) Most curing spells and items only clear a single level of the "Sealed" status affliction at a time. If a character's "Sealed" status level exceeds their character level, the character dies.

**Delta has

Note: This effect lasts until a) cured b) the end of battle or c) death. Unlike most status afflictions, it does not heal simply by time.

Not Known 15 manages to trick and misdirect the Proto-T Slime causing the slime to slither in the opposite direction of him. Still confused by Not Known 15's tricks, the slime latches on to lilith2013 for only a short period of time. **lilith2013 has
