Threads of reality - OOC thread

[Arch Lich Burns]

....Ooooh I just had an evil idea for a combo against a single enemy. Supreme Ward + Block + Helmet throw. Since you activate block it has to target you, and ward prevents enemy from targeting anything asides melee users. And since with block it can only attack you, AOE won't go off, leaving the enemy unable to do anything.

[Nerre]

Hm, I don't know. Could work. On the other hand Mortimer could just forbid this combo.

Or the enemy would disapear in a six-dimensional-explosion caused by a game rule paradoxon. Or Paradox could reappear. Or Mortimer just does something to one of us so we cannot use all three at once. Status afflictions or whatever.

Now I only need to put the teleportation pebble on the helmet, and I could zap all around the battlefield, always following my helmet. Oh, this could create another paradoxon! The helmet wants to teleport back to my head, while the pebble would like to teleport me to it's position. I could get lost in teleportation or just keep eternally switching places with my helmet. We could build a Helmet-Pebble-Engine which would run forever if not manakin would eat one of those enchantments! HARHARHAR!

[M0rtimer]

Yup, he would.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Nope. The target has to target only you, but cannot hit ranged attackers.

[M0rtimer]

For clarification, when I said yup he would I was referring to the fact that Drowns would be seeing the guy behind the desk.

Anything you guys are discussing would cause rocks to fall from the sky.

[Arch Lich Burns]

That is okay. The rocks can only target drowns and cut puts up the ward.

[M0rtimer]

area damage.

Large, large, large area damage.

[Arch Lich Burns]

That still has to target ONLY drowns. It says so in the block ability.

[Godbot]

Y'know, Burns, one might argue that if Drowns uses Block but the target can't attack him, that means they'd be free to attack someone else.

And also that you can't taunt falling rocks.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Sure you can.

[madmartin26]

The rocks have an antimagic field around them, which nullifies the ward. Studies can still dodge with flashstep though, because reasons.

[Godbot]

For real though, we could probably charge up the tower, restore it and solve all our problems by constructing a Helmet-Pebble Engine for Paradox. Forget this Sacrifice's Stone bullshit.

Also, Nerre, I totally forgot you had this:

Holy cleaver: major action. An attack that acts as if it were smite evil and heals the user for 1HP upon striking.

This is a really good ability. Remember what I said before about hanging back for a turn and using Healing Water (major) and Purify (Minor) on yourself when you're at low health, before going back to fighting and spamming Purify? Well, if you use Holy Cleaver instead of regular attacks, you'll be healing yourself for 3 HP every turn while continuously dealing damage. And actually, you don't really even need to bother with Healing Water; you could just skip straight to Holy Cleaver/Purify and heal yourself for 2 HP every turn.

[M0rtimer]

That'd probably be mostly because I had apparently forgotten to add it to IC before it was recently pointed out that I had done so...

Also, Dusk, I'm still waiting on what you want for your level up.

[Dusk9]

That's because I'm still thinking about it

But seriously though, this is a hard choice. A bonus 50% HP would be really useful for keeping me going in fights, but being able to hit three targets at once would help deal with the whole single-target-only problem I've got right now. Since my only AOE damage otherwise is from the Inferno Bracelet, which can also hit allies.....

....just realised I could get a 150% heal a turn against swarms of weak enemies with Smashin' Time + Bloodlust. Without any Daily limits. Smashin' Time it is!

[M0rtimer]

I feel the need to point something out-

Born thinking there is "something" in the ether wasn't "There's something here, but I can't see it-" It was "There's something coming, but I don't have time to find out what."

[M0rtimer]

No update today.

[Nerre]

I want my easter-egg-update!

Drowns wants to visit the merfolk city and retrieve a part of the stone.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Cut is coming with!

[Nerre]

Such litte air, much talk, very drown!

[madmartin26]

Studies is interested too. He creates a gigantic air bubble for all the people who can't breathe water.

[Godbot]

Admittedly, visiting Atlantis would be pretty cool, even if it wouldn't be terribly plot-relevant.

Also, Burns, Nerre, could one of you check out what's going on in the Ether, like I asked? I'd rather not find out what's in there firsthand the next time Born falls asleep.

[Arch Lich Burns]

How do you suggest we do that born?

[Godbot]

With those True Sight elixirs you drank? M0rt hinted that I should find a way to check what's in the Ether before I go back in, and True Sight should be able to do just that.

[Arch Lich Burns]

...And how are we going to see the ether? We have no way of doing so.

[Godbot]

Look, just try it, okay? You aren't even taking any actions this turn. You've got nothing to lose.
