New Class Jaegers.
With word of the Jackal showing its face in Abalathia's Plight, Jaegers from the Hunter's Association were quick to join our ranks even though our Guild Name has yet been recognized.
With their mobility and ability to penetrate into enemy lines with ease, they will serve as fine forward scouts with our Laborian counterparts and is willing to train those among our number for [1 Merit]. As legends would have it, Jaegers are famously known for being out in monster territory for such extended periods that spirit addled rumors would have them described as courting Monsters. Though far from the truth, they have displayed familiarity with their skills and at times even fight like them.

Our Magi have begun to acclimate to the world Tree's Aether. Indeed so plentiful was its Mana that even we were goaded to cast our spells with small restraint as our frustrations would spring up now and again on the road.

There are probably stat adjustments here.
Equipment allowances for Brewler expanded.
Shrine Keepers are looking kinda good today.

Skills associated with Gear, are readily available however, so long as they are equipped.

Making a Character.
Players choose a Class, and a race variant, then apply the stats provided to their sheet. At level 1 of their class they may learn 1 Skill + any others given for free such as gear skills.

Types of stats.

Internal Stats change with each Class and combine with equipment and racial traits to arrive at Output stats. The stats needed for actions and movement.

Progression:
Adventurers that participate as their class rank up after one day and a rest period. Refer to your class's details to determine what triggers a Rank up.

Upon clearing a dungeon, defeating bosses, or completing quests, Adventurers may also gain a MERIT. which is used to give a permanent stat buff to your character no matter which class they transition to. However they will not lock an internal stat, they will instead add on to the current one at the time before output stats are calculated. Merits may also be used to gain a license for a different class, allowing one to Subclass as that class's abilities while they play their main. Players may switch main classes before deploying.

Another method of gaining licenses is to spend a dungeon day in town instead.

" Ahhhhh yes yes" This Dadao is a straight great sword with a Spirit the Rests within. Know you of the Armslaves that walk these parts ? I hear they commune with their weapons, form an unbreakable contract and ride off into a life of battle vanquishing evil spirits and mortals alike. Though, waving around a haunted blade should not be taken lightly for who knows what calamity it may bring from the other side Kyeheheheh "

" Now this axe is quite special, due to its use, it has gained the propensity for spinning wildly in the air, only to return to its master after being thrown. However I've seen lesser men run away in fear whenever they see their whirling blades fly back at them. Ohhh what entertainment to see them run HyehHYE HYE "

Rabbit has made mistake. Am thankful for conscientious correction. Good day also to yous. Rabbit may offer it to the gods or go buy a shovel then . . .

"A haunted blade does not seem like a thing that should be passed around because it might be used sometime in the future. If such a time comes feel free to ask me then, but this seems like the kind of blade that only a fierce Warrior could wield."

Looking at the equipment lists it looks like the Warrior class is the only one who can wield Great Swords at the moment.

There are many gods, compounded by the many pantheons that eek into every brick of this world, while some are here for a purpose there are others who- for the sheer absurdity of it- have deigned to live a mortal life here. Why is this possible ? Because the World Tree supposedly connects our world to an even bigger system of worlds, instantly and naturally creating what would be the first intercelestial community. As such these divines walk among us, handing out blessings, officiating weddings, and generally being the centre of talk around the Tree. However after one such divine crossed to the roots and awoke a sleeping serpent, Niddhog did ascend from the roots that supposedly held it dormant for so long.

Fearing for the wellbeing of their Tree, and not wishing to lose it a SECOND TIME, the realms of Mortals would instead gain the blessings of the gods. Gods who so far are the sole targets of Niddhog's ire, and then beat back his fell hordes from coming up to the surface and scorching the realms of men and destroying the single greatest boon to this star it has seen in eternity ! To enter the roots of the World Tree without the blessing of a God would invite a new name and face for Niddhog's Hordes to take their vengeance on, and Gods who are willing and capable to lend their name against the war will soon find their names in prominence. As such, to take on a diety's name would mean representing their will in the depths of Yggdrasil's roots and hoping that it sustains us in our travels !.

Errant: So how do we get a name ? And can we even be Runners without one ?

Yggdra: Runners ? What are those ?

Errant: I mean- er, Adventurers ? No matter how you cut it, our research demands that we ascend Yggdrasil up and down. If not then-

Yggdra: Yes yes, the predictions. So far and I would hate to admit this, they are so far right on the money if they're true then we would /need/ to find ourselves a patron Diety soon but not /so/ soon.

Listen, I'm trusting my gut here but I think if we were the first to clear the Knot in Abalathia's Plight then we could get some traction. For the time being, it seems we're a bunch of no name looters just in it for the money. Which.. .isn't half a lie.

For now we're [Wandering Adventurers] until someone takes notice.

How does one go about clearing a Knot? Does it require some kind of ritual procedure?

Also, would you know what exactly a shield pike does?

Please ignore this post while Rabbit eats a riceball and thinks about his life.

>>1730087
Knots are concentrations of tangled aether that have ceased to flow correctly. Usually a knot is caused by empowered wills unhappy with its plight. As a result Knots create pathways that attract curses and tangled roots, or so our studies would say. To clear a knot, one would need to simply locate the source of the fault, and either resolve it or exorcise it. Should it be allowed to fester, curses will build up and the surrounding area will become a den for fellkind and soon, Niddhog's swarm. "

But of course we won't let it get to that. We find the Knot as it materializes and just as it does so , break it under its own terms "

Errant: It seems like its installed to your shield, granting it a secondary attack function. When braced to the ground it leaves the shield at that spot, acting as a makeshift barrier.

Yay! Thank you! Is even hood with delightful ventilation holes in the back otherwise impeccable fabric, so Rabbit's cool head does not get too warm.

You are a very nice looting-scavenging-pilfering lupine, Mistery Graftsman. Rabbit knows a kerbold much like you. Would probably find fond match in your business acumen, then try to have sniper-fight for your goods stockpile.

OOh, if Rabbit folds it just-like-so, it gets all floppy and soft and it looks like he has dreadlocks. And this matted blood brings out my eye!

Best hood! Ever!

>>1730125
Are you trying to audit the Rabbit? His accounts are impeccable.

Is not small-tiny automated things you need to worry about, is odd-strange-slight actions like asking questions or finding or acquiring! But since you ask kindly, Rabbit will happily make-do his business-plan-calendar.

>Nicely Bury Blooms Baneful Bones, acquire Ash Incenses for it. Send him off with last 1oz of Spirit. Be sad he died.
>Acquire +250 Zny, 1 Merit. Add to 150 zny already acquired, 400 in total.

>Spend Merit to Rank up Jaeger 1, Gain Trap + Rope Mastery

>Recheck all previously acquired distillation uses and adjust pouch numbers to reflect actual acquirements.
>Adjust equipment by equipping Seasoned Clothes.

If Rabbit can make suggestion; tracking menial buy-sell-move is hard-tiring work people must-needs learn to do themselves. Else they are SILLY! But if there is something someone wants to maybe attempt-do-try that they have tried and tired and are waiting on, is good to keep track! Like book reading or question asking or wandering down dark alleys alone, unguarded, with money in their pockets, singing happy song about their lives.

But is good you check! Makes for good leader.

But doing it for multiple people long term will drive you stark raving mad, please don't burn yourself out

It would seem, that our ranks are quickly growing, with enough people to form 2 new teams it would be prudent to assign two new leaders to them.

Since we have a [Tower], and a Van, we could perhaps build a Scouting team, and finally a [Support] team that can work between the rest of the teams offering rescues or securing boons for an extended stay.

After that, a 5th would be our limit so consider our sizes more or less figured out with this.

In world Tree, a party may consist of many teams working together the composition of a party may change depending on the operation.
Raids such as this one will require [Scouts] [Vanguards] [Support] and [Towers] that will ensure that massive conflicts be put under control if all teams work together. It's possible to also create Specialist parties that deal with taking the objective, or Infiltration Teams that excel at getting behind enemy lines. Doubling down on teams or making redundant compositions are also not very unusual for groups that deal in heavy duty conflicts. x2 Vanguards and Support are great for holding down a position until an attack Party arrives, for example.


Anyone willing to step up and lead the two new teams may reply to this query.

>>1730188
Rabbit is already a fool. Is not so difficult to make-many-assumptions.

Hey Mordy, question-thought.

If gods get into barfights, does that mean gods get drunk before getting into barfights?

Morde. . . What is rain? Too much too fast drunk cloud gods? Rabbit is having theological revelations he does not like having!

>>1730195
Luka is fine-glorious leader of Hero team. Rabbit approves.

But Rabbit also has time to help-aid someone else, and we have many new people who seek new conflicts. Rabbit may even work at overcoming his crippling self referential speech impediment to aid properly, if people want-desire this.

Update Times for Slow Phases.
6-7Am est .
7-8Pm est.
12AM est.

Minimum 2 Turns a day.

Once a week there may also be intensive posting days. These are called Spurts where a turn is posted virtually every Hour. It happens once when a map thread starts and again during a heavy conflict and will typically last for 6+ hours.

Currently, Intensive times are slotted for ~10am est - 6pm est~ or they maybe planned days in advance.


Please consider your availability. Those living in the Pacific Rim will get to suffer with me : ) These times are not solid nor are they really consequential however it would be great if more leaders can take over in case some go to sleep and vice versa

I f you still need Team Leaders I could give it a try, does the job come with a pay rise? what about a Leader Hat?

>>1730074
And may I ask, how do we even do the whole, "find a patron deity" anyway?? I am just wondering.

>>1730234
No. No hats.

Only responsibility and fear of failure.

As far as general strategy for the next visit, I propose:
> Teams enter via the main gate
> Jaeger and the more mobile use ropes and climbing ability to enter via the south wall and provide scouting for follow-up missons and flanking in case the other teams are in danger (must remain quiet)
> Waystation wards are checked and reapplied, two teams work together to keep it secure and scavenge from the surrounding area
> One team tries to reach the southwestern building via the underground, ward it as another forward base and exorcise the witch-spirit there.
I would suggest:
HERO +Morat, if they are willing, scouting the Underground
We would have Armstrong to take point, two archers to provide support. and Earth/Water Magi to seal off side-passages and clear any flooded areas blocking our path.

>>1730246
I like the Underground plan. It's good.

"Technically, a bar fight does not necessitate any drinking or drunkness; only a bar with which to fight in."

>PCA: Seek out Abalath and his warriors, and petition Abalath for patronage.

"Greetings. I represent a company of adventurers back from an excursion into Dunndirk. I am not pleased to say that the town is overrun by many a fell beast, and the vicious Jackal indeed resides there- in your church no less. We severely wounded the creature, but it took flight before we could land a killing blow, and in the fight that ensued we lost three of our number. However, with fresh supplies and new recruits we are returning to Dunndirk. We march on the morrow with intent to slay the Jackal, resolve the Knot that has taken form in the catacombs below, and retake the town so that good honest folk may return and make peace with those they've lost."

"Our company is currently without patronage, and we yet march without a banner. I ask on behalf of my brothers and sisters in arms that we be granted Abalath's patronage for this campaign, for I can think of no banner more fitting to reclaim Dunndirk under than that of the god who was once worshiped there. I do not come asking for such patronage out of desperation or fear; I ask out of respect for your lands, and because both parties will benefit from this arrangement. Truth be known, we will march with or without your blessing. Either way, we will avenge our fallen by our own hands, and drive out the beasts that think to make Dunndirk their home."

"Will it be your banner we raise over Dunndirk on the day of its liberation? Or will a new banner fly above the town? I will have your answer before the eve of our departure."

If we're going for an extended operation, taking over the southside completely would be key, after that, there is only the north side above the wall and there we will find our Knot, either in the Church or in the Dungeon Tower that had recently been excavated. Once the teams have formalized we can move out.

The man look about the wayhouse with a dour look on their face. Small cuts and bruises still blemish their nonplussed features.

" Dunno wot to tell you brotha but a spirit wot claimed to be King Abal himself rose from the depths of Earth to greet our weary town only to end up ordering the half of us to start hanging witches. Sure none of us would ever consider the words of a revenant, mind but the townies in that church took on a different turn they did. "

" Ye see, unlike us Cadium born swordboys, Abalathians are pretty orthodox folk what never trusted anything that walked off that tree. An' so when a willowy ghost of the Sleeping King 'imself started gathering followers , well they all but obliged him that very moment. Closed themselves in that black church and started holding all kindsa ceremonies. We done sook out that wretch of a trickster Loki for even suggesting that the townies dig at that spot "

" An' now that place is a bleedin Witch Trial with no end. We got out as best we could, to seek help, next thing we knew we heard tell of a full on monster invasion swept through the lower town and didn't look back "

" Aye, feth Abal , Feth his rickety shite of a church. What slept in those crypts weren't no hero of eld but a craven man put away afore he made a fool o himself in the texts "

"So if ye want a blessin- why not go there yeself and ask. I hear they likes Witch's Blood. "

" If yer asking us why we haven't reported it, when we did, well we figured that between the shame of a fake god, or the lives of a few strangers that invited the fate themselves -- hic -- I guess the drinks the Wayhouse gives out for bene won out "

With that said I can dish a damn good punch and reach areas a lot of supports normally can't while being able to hide away if things go south. I can help on a scout team or stick support. I can also keep going alone. Suits my cursed nature it seems.

" Oh its one of the books Errant sent me. It seems that Lindlore is studying the same kind of Magic but the runes here seem a bit more advanced while others are not even proofed yet ! It was to ship to our Avalonian counterparts but the attack stopped that from happening.

Are you familiar of the Lorekeepers here ? They're an interesting bunch of academics, most of whom aren't even born from mage families. Recently we've been finding and rearranging ancient scripts to form a new spell style using magical algorithms and sacred geometries resulting in- You guessed it. Runic !

And soooo using the techniques inside this book, we can for a mercy jump our progress up by a few years. Provided we all survive till the Fall "

>>1730353
Someone give this Zig a good Zig ! ; A;

>>1730361
Come be a Hero Zig!

>>1730289
Bold, but if this /is/ the goal, I would propose:

HERO:
Sm Luka, Sw Armstrong, M Mordenkainen, B*J Rabbitspaw
Mobility average (3)
TOWER:
LC Harokem, LC Lammergeier, M Billy, Sk Ryozo
Mobility average (3), Perovskia temporarily moves to Wolf
WOLF:
Sk Hetros, J Luney, J d'Alger, J Ziegfreido, M Perovksia
Mobility slow (2)
DEEPS:
Sw Fleur, W Yngvild, M Morat, B* Basil,
Mobility average (3)

It's the stairs that would need to be watched and we would have to move quickly. HERO and TOWER enter from the south-east and dash for the manor, while WOLF and DEEPS (placeholder names) enter via the gate, fix up the waystation's wards and split up to trap the central stair (WOLF) and explore the underground (DEEPS)

TOWER and the archers of HERO would have to set up to stop anything from coming down the western stair from a north-facing window. It is essential that TOWER hold their fire to avoid drawing attention.

This plan is dangerous and has many points of failure. I do not like it, we are on a limited schedule before nightfall but it could possibly be done. I would prefer my original plan.

>>1730368
What does Hero-ing entail?

>>1730372
Having a sign reading "Hero" on your armor and being under the care of the nice shrine maiden Luka.

>>1730370
I'll up my movement to 4 once I get the stats of the items I bought/found, if that is of any help

But out of the blue, a wild Alex Jones with +5 super male vitality and anti-sjw enchantments comes out from behind the mosque.

Adventure! Excitement! All great fits for Ziggy!

>>1730384

But it DOES have panache. Which is two parts out of ten for any plan.

But may Rabbit suggest? Capture Waystation, raise flag in square. That gives us the southside easy-quick. Then manor after? Waystation Is good rallying point, and if we ward proper is also fallback.

To readdress the question. Communing with the spirit is possible. Either by yourself or with the help of someone in town. The latter requires a fee usually.

>>1730401
Raising a flag is usually a call to contest a claim. If something less friendly than an adventurer were to see that...

>>1730370
Hey....what about me?

>>1730422
Then is a trap! Bait! The Jackal answer our call and we lure it out of hiding, so it does not do so to us.

It needs dying in truth.

>>1730452
Well, that depends. Are you Luney or Arkul?

>>1730462
Sorry sorry I forgot to switch the names please forgive me.

>>1730370
I think your original plan of sweeping the underground works well enough for the purposes of controlling the southside. It's just a matter of how we distribute our resources. We definitely want Billy topside for the big slimes and an exorcist for the hanged witch that's been seen around the southwest.

>>1730524
>>1730370

My only fear is the complete lack of front liners the group seems to have.

Kind reminder - Rabbit can also create fire. Slimes should be little pain-problem.

>>1730548
I guess a solution would be, work as a skirmishing party, and be constantly moving back and forth without relying on someone being able to take the blows.

>>1730548
Yes, it is concerning. Perhaps Yngvild would like to go with the WOLF pack and Zeigfriedo would like to go with you? Even if we don't use the plan there, using those distributions as a starting point should work.

The underground's an unknown quantity at the moment, though presumably safeish if Yggdra felt secure enough to soak down there. I feel it isn't necessary to send Hero down that way. Morat's earthshaping in such narrow quarters is enough to cover for any team composition.

It /is/ known that a route to the manor exists aboveground, even if it's a messy one, so I think that should be the focus of our efforts. We have some pick-off power with the combination of Perovskia's repositioning and two LongCoats with sneak attack. We have at least one Jaeger with rope mastery, so that should help establish alternate routes and high ground. We might fall short in a stand-up fight, but we can at least be slippery.

>>1730558
>>1730576

I have no problem going down underground, nor swapping Yngvlid for zieg, but bloom is going to have to concentrate on healing as I'm a warrior.

Thanks, I didn't notice I haven't updated my HP.

So do kerbolds have 5 move or a larger amount? Because if you looked at the math wouldn't it be like 7 or 8? Because they gain +1 spd?

>>1730599
They get 1 more Spd to run through the Mov formula, but lack Human bonus Mov. At chargen, this comes out to 5.

>>1730585
"Well, that is a point of contention. Conventional math would dictate that 6 x 4 = 24 + 2 = 26, as would be standard for the human average for a fledgeling Magi, and 6 x 5 = 30 + 2 = 32 for my quantified SP reserves now that I have increased by perceptive ability."

Us witches were hunted down you see, and I fear for our shared friend, the Frog who came with us to study the tree. We thought Abal to be the birthplace of some ascended heroes and so it was our fervent wish to see the depths of that Dungeon and unveil its secrets. Were we wrong to seek such ambition ? "

Mystic: It would seem that this hat wishes to stay everlonger until its sister arrives, but mind not the fact that it is a simple hat but the remains of someone who lived with a burning question in their final moments. Shall we send this up to the gods ? "

My take on our jobs for the next outing. Leaderless teams are in no particular order.

Hero: Cut through to the manor and ward it.
[Sm] Luka Ishibashi, healing and leadership
[Sw] Sir Armstrong, guarding
[B*] Rabbitspaw Scalemask, healing and support
[M] Mordenkainen, flexible magery
[W] Yngvild, stunner and blood oathery

Tower: Damage where needed, supporting Hero.
[LC] Harokem Evist, Skirmisher and leader
[M] Perovksia Cogsjump, Windy disruption
[SK] Ryozo Shinkai, Reclamation and support
[LC] Lammergeier, Sharpshooter
[M] Billy Ends, firepower

Delver: Use best judgement underground. Find routes to strategic locations such as the manor. Objective is not to take on big fights, but if this seems too spare a squad for even that, perhaps Mordenkainen could be asked to come along.
[M] Morat, Terras, threat mitigation
[Sk] Hetros, holiness
[W] Fleur, toughness

Rover: Map influence. Manage corpses and loot if other teams are needed elsewhere. We don't want slimes getting too full of themselves.
>[B*] Basil Bloom
>[J] Luney
>[J] d'Alger
>[J] Ziegfreido,

>>1730405
Well, we have spoken with the Spirit of the Dadao, and it has agreed to fight with us. Do you think you can accept it's goals and the cost of wielding it? If so you may use it.

>>1731306
I am wary, it would mean having all three of our reliable healers on the same team, and then sending that team out away from the rest of the group. Also, I believe that we should have Keepers and Maidens spread as widely as possible, we are the only ones that can deal with Spirits and Curses, after all.

What do you think of Harokem's plan? I think that if the Rover team will concentrate on setting traps and scavenging then it would be very useful, myself.

>>1731328
Messed up Rover formatting, whoops. No labels because I don't have a handle on how Jaeger performs.

Also thanks to Luka, whose work this is based on.

>>1731333
Morat being able to block passages goes a long way toward reducing any force the enemy brings as well as that which you must exert, I feel. It can funnel enemies into one-on-ones or shut them off entirely.

>>1731275
Also still waiting on details of purchases: >>1730165

>>1731361
Team Rover is a great way to drag aggro. That can go either way.

>>1731367
Sending them down there without much support is a death sentence.

>>1731388
you know I don't plan to go further than my sight range without support, which pretty much means that will explore a bit till it gets dark and then tunnel up

>>1731388
The corridors are just about the best support there is, when a Teras Magi is involved. I acknowledge there's risk, but there's so much that can be done to mitigate it.

>>1731333
Would it reassure you to have one of the Jaegers or Mordenkainen along? I'll add in the Fire Brandy I never got to use last thread, if it helps. I doubt there'll be a fight protracted enough to make good use of it (Yggdra feared for Moblins when Pero walked in on her, not anything bigger), but it's something.

>>1731361
>>1731367
I think his plan is a death trap for the team I'm placed on if it's only 3 man strength. 4 man is acceptable, 3 man is a suicide run.

I'll run with team wolf if that works best.

>>1731301
After one look, it was promptly burnt at the pyre.

>>1731460

I agree but at the same time us 3 are probably best for confined space. While I am a warrior I have glancing counter and both straight and cleave. We can funnel stuff with Morats magic. A 4th would help thought.

>>1731460
>>1731481
I'd like a 4th, yes
A warrior or any other melee class would be welcome

>>1731487
agreed. Get us a 4th member as a warrior and I'll go with his plan.

>>1731481
you sure I'm best for confined spaces? I'm a bow dude, not naginata holder or a caster... but I do have a heal, and we'll probably need to clear up corpses.

You guys do know that paper talismans only last for one entire combat right? We ever go without aggro, they'll fade, so I can't just put them on you at the beginning of a combat and be able to chain heal you.

Nice to have all your feedback. Armstrong and Yngsvild are best where they are, I think. How about Ziegfriedo, if he agrees? Melee and a nose for traps?

>>1731494
Is it really aggro? We had aggro the whole map and the ward on Fleur disappeared after one cast of Blessed Strike. I think it's actually the case that wards on players are single use.

Sooo in there shopping for hot temples there's training for magic or spells can anyone grab that or is it just anyone who already can do the magic thinh

>>1731328
That doesn't sound so bad have us new jaegers run around looting and well just doing small tasks needed around.

Here's the instance I'm thinking of. The turn previous, a a ward was left behind by Fleur due to processing error, I believe. So the circumstances are a little fuzzy. Ryozo's action was along the lines of "BStrike, with new ward if old one fell off", so I don't know if there's no ward here due to single-use or another error. Ryozo, you probably followed this more closely than me. How did you play it out and what's your take on it?

As for Rover aggro, you should be all right if you wait for openings the other teams give you and hover around corpses instead of fog. Let Tower and Hero be the noise, and you can get your hits in with relative safety.

>>1731513
>Is it really aggro? We had aggro the whole map and the ward on Fleur disappeared after one cast of Blessed Strike. I think it's actually the case that wards on players are single use.
It's aggro according to Rabbitspaw's player and Meave (not sure who she's playing on this map), and a few others.

And it's linked to the party of the group involved, or at least the general area of where it's been left. If there's a calm point? Some point where folks can't continue? Then the paper talisman will wear off.

If you ward a building, then it's probably for at least one solar day.

>>1731114
That Esoteric Bow option seems to be training in order to use such a bow out of class.

>>1731494
>>1731513
Yes, it seems that targeted Paper Wards do not last long at all. Using spells at touch range should be our preferred option.

>>1731570
I honestly cannot say for certain, but I treated it as if I needed a new Ward, just in case. At first Ward usages were marked, but that stopped after the first 2 or 3

>>1731628
Just gonna roll with the training then. If I ever move over to Jaeger I'll be able to bring the bamboo with me.

>>1731627
That's a fair explanation. I can believe it. Whatever the case, though, it didn't apply to the linked post, since two moblins also aggroed to Fleur survived the attack.

>>1731705
Basically, the way I see it, if you could say "people in this part could take a turn to rest without any monsters immediately ganging up on them," then any ward, drink, or buff is probably going to fade from them.

I suppose I should focus on my studies while waiting on the lupine. A frog that doesn't learn is a poor frog indeed.

Yeah, that's my understanding of drinks and buffs as well. I just don't believe the wards left Fleur due to lack of aggro.


Revising a bit. Open to discussion as always, but let's try and finalize soon.

Hero: Cut through to the manor and ward it.
[Sm] Luka
[Sw] Sir Armstrong
[B*] Rabbitspaw
>[M] Mordenkainen, may be wanted to fill in if a Tower member moves to Rover
>[W] Yngvild, may do well to help Rover with corpses and save strength for the Jackal

Tower: Damage where needed, supporting Hero.
>[LC] Harokem, may lead Rover and hand Tower off to another member.
[M] Perovksia
[SK] Ryozo
>[LC] Lammergeier, may work well in Rover, but loud weapon
[M] Billy Ends

Delver: Use best judgement underground. Find routes to strategic locations such as the manor.
>Needs leader
[M] Morat
[Sk] Hetro
[W] Fleur
>[J] Ziegfriedo, alertness and melee

Rover: Clear corpses and loot. Slimes get huge and Mobos are cannibals. Set traps, don't get caught. Do not move close to or attack anything unless it is very angry at someone else. Do not approach the fog without /confirming/ Tower or Hero can handle the attention of anything you provoke.
>Needs leader
[B] Basil
[J] Luney
[J] d'Alger
>May or may not be better off as a small team.

>>1732131
Depending on times I could probably roll leader for Delver, otherwise it should probably be Fleur.

Sure I'll take leader but I'm renaming this team Dragon.

>>1732256
ehn, dragons live in caves, I can live with that.

>>1732256
Your team now! Do as you will.

>>1732256
I second this.

>>1732131
"Do bear in mind that with my newfound mastery over Aquas, I possess a considerable amount of crowd control as creatures caught in a spell's overflow all take the full brunt of the attack, instead of a reduced amount as is the case with the Expand AoE property of the wand."

"This means that it would be best for me to be in a position where you expect to fight large numbers of weaker creatures, such as Moblins or uncoagulated slimes."

>I.E. An Overflowed spell deals full POT to all affected tiles, instead of halved damage like an Expanded spell. Overflow can also be expanded for further coverage, though the spell will suffer halved POT as a result.

>>1732370
Duly noted. Very useful in the coming mission.

>>1732131
Does rover really need a leader??

>>1732430
leader's primary job is to bot folks.

>>1732430
Given its small size, unobtrusive role, and flexible objectives, Rover could potentially go leaderless, but it's almost inevitable that someone will miss a phase, and then a botter becomes a good thing to have.

>>1732543
Yep, exactly

>>1732131
"Ah, another consideration you may wish to factor into your teams is Vision. Currently you [Harokem], Lammergeier, and I have a vision score of 6, while everyone else has a vision score of 5 or lower. Being able to detect threats sooner rather than later will be important to certain teams."

Rabbit would like bamboo arrows. Will trade?

Also, would like if someone maybe-possibly carved arrowheads from Rabbits pandoras and teras and firas xtals.

Weak-fragile Rabbit arme need a little extra cheating to be as dangerous as others.

... five of 15 is 75. Cheapest fire. But Bamboo Sticks are 2. So is 14 for seven, as Maideny Luka says.

Truth without bias and justice without prejuidice it is to say you are not giving Rabbit equal exchange. Please do not be taking businessis lessons from mistery Trigger.

He is a mutt.

Rabbit will give you four teras and two Pandoras and six fire. This we shall split between us two-one-three. But then you shall also give Rabbit four bamboo arrows.

Yes!

>>1733002
so let me be clear.

We split it so that each of us gets 2 terras, 1 pandoras, and 3 pyras carved xtals each yes?

and you also get 4 bamboo?

More than fair. Done and done
