OOC

Next round is up!

If 250 damage to the knight is the goal, Maestro’s Echo should do the trick! (I believe I inflicted 42 damage: 15+6 doubled. So 277, if I got that right.)

I'm heading out to vacation tomorrow for the next week. My access, and my ability to remember to access, the internet will be limited.

Have a good vacation! Any preferences on Atalanta's moves?

👍

I'll give Isbjorn a few more hours to chime in & move things along regardless.

...just barely made it! 😅

(unexpected things cropping up during the weekend is very Fun™ lol 😩)

No pressure. I know how IRL can get. I was just posting an update on the plans. Posting on weekends is never expected. I can usually post but not everyone can do it's never expected.

Next round is up and things just got ... interesting.

I’ll add roll-result and reroll-text after lunch. Just had to see how the dice land!

Okay, post updated. And it wasn’t until I was writing my OoC note that I realized how stupid I was. That d6 was fine as a 5! I considerably decreased my odds of the reroll paying off. A dumb move compensated by dumb luck!

Damn... I am going to get an AOE as soon as I can after I level up lmao

Since there're a lot of these adds, I was wondering if it's at all possible for me to spend a fabula point to get all their attention on me? ^^' I don't want them to run rampant and target our mages in the backline, but taunting shout is single target...

Fabula Points are there to make changes to the world. What change would you make to enable Calamity to draw the Fauns' attention?
Could be the geography of the field funnels them past her to get to the back line.
Could be that Calamity comes up with a formation that corrals the Fauns.
What would you suggest?

How big are the fauns? Since Calamity is only as tall as an average cat standing on two legs, and everyone else is several times her size, I was thinking based on physical look alone, she may seem like the easiest target to tackle down. That'd fit my identity "unassuming defender" too.

But if that's not possible, I'll perform Guard on Isbjorn because he's not the most healthy right now, and he probably needs attention off him to start blasting these spawns. If Atalanta's Guard is still effective on Isbjorn, I'll guard Arga instead.

Strategic advice from everyone else is also welcome :D

Ok, so. We have Calamity spending a Fabula Point to funnel the Triffid spawn through her & performing a Guard Action on Isbjorn. I think everyone's actions are accounted for so I'll post an update a little later today!

Let's see how this new wrinkle irons out!

I think you forgot to remove 20MP from my action.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll get that fixed in the next round of combat.

@witchdoctor I finally updated my post for the Fab point usage and such. I am poisoned, right? Blue text seems to say I am, but the status report has Grace as ‘none.’ (If she is not poisoned, I’ll edit out that I’m-poisoned bit.)

Also, aggro question. My spell casting added 5 aggro, but I think Bard Style has this -2 aggro thing…
I THINK I get it—is it like I add aggro for landing blows and Bard Style means I add 2 aggro less, so I’m not removing aggro from my total. I’m simply not adding to it unless I use an attack that would normally add 3+ aggro. (?) This is probably the case, which indeed would make my current aggro a 5.

Looking back, the poison attack hit everyone with a Magic Defense of 9 or less, so Grace isn't poisoned. My bad. That Faun would do a lot less damage to her. I'll adjust it down. Without the bonus damage they do to characters with the Poisoned status, she'd take very little at all.

The Bard Style does indeed reduce the Aggro she'd accrue from an attack by -2 when swinging an instrument but it doesn't drop her overall Aggro Score. Her hits are Aggro free while using an instrument.
