GAL 8: CRUT OOC

no no, you took out the side quest boss first, and are now finally doing the main quest.

She was somewhat less of a sideboss, and more of a main boss for a possible sequel quest. So while you are technically right, Wears is essentially right too.

[Synch]

Yeah I'm in this to the end. I'm not getting impatient with the length of it, just the dithering we sometimes do when people get distracted or others aren't around over the course of a year. But its all good, I'm loving playing Leaves.

Yeah don't worry too much about SCH at the moment. As Wears said, we've been waiting a while but waiting another month or two won't kill us. Set a date in the new year and we can start then.

[BadgeAddict]

Hey now...Seeing as how im not in this game, I do not hold the same standards about waiting for SCH... Taps foot impatiently.

[spiderwrangler]

Shut up, you! This OOC is for GAL 8 players!

[Theis2]

I'm only in this game so I'm going to oppose Badge and say you should just take your sweet time making this quest extra perfect, no matter how long it will have to take!

[Nerre]

Is Sneaks burning blade a real burnin blade or is it a regular blade that just adds fire damage?

[nikohl]

I don't remember, but Mines also has a torch

[spiderwrangler]

It is a red blade, warm to the touch that has a % chance to do additional fire damage when damaging an enemy. From what has been seen, this ranges from a small surge of heat to engulfing the enemy.

But yes, Mines has a torch, if your looking for a fire source.

[Theis2]

That's also a horrible swarm of mosquitos you got on that battlemap O,o

((Same swarm that's been following you for turns!))

I just never saw how bad it was on the map before now

[WearsHats]

Also note that we only have 6 turns' worth of mosquito grass remaining. Unless Mantagar catches up to us with more. But in character we have no idea that he's trying to do that or how close he is. We either press on as fast as we can and hope that the increasing spider webs take care of the mosquitoes (which is why I wouldn't be concerned about dealing with the trapped ones) or we run back to the crossroads and call it a day. We have just enough to make it back. Even if we do complete the quest, I don't know how we're supposed to make it back to the crossroads without getting bled dry. I'm just sort of hoping that Spider has that figured out.

[Synch]

Well obviously we're gonna come across a dead adventurer with a sack of treasure and mosquito grass

[Nerre]

or a mosquito grass merchant who likes muddy old swamp hopper stuff.

Run!...Run away!

[spiderwrangler]

Only waited 418 days to be able to make today's post...

[Synch]

I'm just presuming that either Leaves is getting really good at mimes and drawings, or you guys are getting good at interpreting them.

I should probably explain why he can't talk at some stage, and thanks all for putting up with this often annoying roleplay

[WearsHats]

I find the roleplay interesting. I am curious about the reason for it, but Mines isn't going to press.

I should mention that I'll be mostly AFK for the next couple of days. Going on a road trip. (Good thing I don't have to drive. I'm still wiped. And I just started on a new medication. Not sure yet how it'll affect me.)

[spiderwrangler]

Thanks for the heads up, Wears.

Standard auto pilot if needed?

Heal any that need it, keep everyone in the smoke, interpret Leaves drawings and handwavings for the rest?

[WearsHats]

Pretty much, yeah. I'll support whatever plan the majority comes up with. Too fuzzy to think strategy myself. I've expressed what thoughts I have on the matter.

[Synch]

I wrote the backstory for Leaves. Its pretty cheesy and cliche, but I figured its at least a bit more colourful than just spending a sentence explaining what happened. I'll do a drawing of Leaves when I get another spare chunk of time.

Sorry for the shit pictures Spider, but is the web criss-crossing over the path like an obstacle such as this, or is it hanging from the canopy like this?

[spiderwrangler]

The big orb web is the former. There is other webbing festooning the vegetation, but the big web currently blobbing your advancement is a large orb web.

[spiderwrangler]

I've got a busy week, but I'll get a partial turn posted relatively soon to resolve Leaves actions so the rest of you can decide what you're doing (since it seems we're waiting for him to make the first move).

[WearsHats]

As you might have seen elsewhere, my sleep is messed up again. I get a brief window of lucidity here and there, but generally it's really hard to think or do anything. It's going to be a while before I can even get seen, let alone find out if it's fixable. I'll try to be around, but consider me out of commission for the foreseeable future.
