Twisted Fates SD: Interest and Recruitment

Leeroy Jenkins manoeuvre successful. Will post again after you guys have initiated your part of the assault. Remember to not come downstairs for any reason. Godspeed.

Rereading my bit, I feel the urge to stress MAX actually looks more like a Zaku than a Gundam.

Great posts guys! Really entertaining stuff.

I'm refraining from posting upstairs reactions until Citrakite and Oseng reply.

And just as a reminder, Verras has entered the room alongside Sam and Kara and can be used accordingly. Though if you don't feel like writing his actions, I'll play them when I post the upstairs reactions.

Right, now nursing a cracked rib. Bloody heavy Hobgoblins...

I apologize in advance Citrakite for running your character slightly, but it's something that's likely to need doing. Shooting a rampaging Worg, covering the door in case someone else comes in and throwing another smoke grenade.

I'll let you write Verras, since I've been doing too much posting anyway.

Post tomorrow as I will be away from my computer most of the day.

No problem.

Sorry, felt the need to post this bit. Samuel overestimated the damage his lightning did a bit.

Verras is somewhere in there but I've leaving it to Citrakite or Oseng, though again if you refrain, I'll play him.

I probably did, I'll go change that. Make it a little less crazy.

Go ahead and use my character as an NPC for the next part. I just got a sudden job interview but I have to make it up to the Chicago area from St. Louis pretty much over night so I'm not going to have a chance to post.

Well, your really main strength is tossing fireballs at Max, since it's not going to hurt him and actually heals him. It wouldn't be too difficult for someone to whip up a post for that. We can manage, maybe Madork could write it since you're in his team.

But still, good job landing the interview. Hope you get something. I know I haven't yet.

Always hate doing group scenes but I sort of don't want to be shot, healer or not.

Make it a grazing wound. Pretty serious if you don't get treatment but in the short term it can be ignored. Also, here's what I do: Simply take a reasonable timeframe, say a dozen or two seconds IC, and write a paragraph about that. Wait for a couple of other posts, and repeat. It's what works for me.

Blasting holes in the wall and making door explode as you hit the guy on the other side seemed a bit off to me so he blew up the window frame and door instead. I'm killing the Orc myself as well.

Writing now, just got to write the catch up post then advance it 30 seconds.

That.... was awesome.

Nice trick with the hostage's body...grisly but effective.

And definitely good choice taking out that orc. I left him on the map to show that Samuel's lightning bolt hadn't killed him and he'd have ambushed you from behind if you hadn't ended him.

Sliverlord,

Given that your character isn't a full wizard and has only learned that spell in the past few days, its generally not going to be one shot one kill. Though it can certainly stun foes. That's where the double tap comes into play. On the other hand really lower level enemies can be killed instantly in this way.

Sorry, I was going off of what Lightning bolts tend to do. They're darn good at breaching walls, though they're diminished beyond.

I did switch the thing with the closet. I was putting a hole in the wall since it was right in front of me, no distance dropoff. The windowframe works though. Did I make an extra door explode? I just remember the outside wall, the second one going through the hobgoblin and the lizardman, and that was it for lightning.

Either way, good idea for dealing with him.

When you tried to fry the Hobgoblin and hit the lizard man instead you fired through the door.

My plan was he'd charge out like the Hobgoblin had so I had to do something when he decided to hole up with the hostage. Smoke or not he's going to hit us as it a straight line to the room so this seemed to work best. We got magic and monsters so why not a freshly raised Zombie ploy?

No, I hit both, the hobgoblin wasn't as damaged, it was a line through the room, out the door, and into a wall. That went through the open door, into the hallway, and scorched a wall. I remember checking my lines of fire to make sure I was aiming properly and not hitting an extra wall. We seem to be having a misunderstanding about our positioning. Or did I just write it unclearly, let me check.

Edit: Yeah, it looks a bit unclear. I'll roll with it.

Yeah, the shotgun was sort of a dealbreaker in the smoke. It would have hit, I just wanted less of a profile.

No big deal. Such confusion is inevitable. And it all worked out well in the end.

Apologies for leaving Edward's old position still on the map but it reflected your character's best knowledge of his location.

Citrakite,
Kara isn't out of the fight, I'm generally assuming she catches herself and swings back in momentarily.

Verras is out. So its just Samuel and Kara.

You can portray Edward's actions and reactions to your attacks so that your posts can reflect more of the battle. You can certainly wound him at will though ensure you earn it given his higher level. You can just leave some unresolved strikes towards the end of your post and I'll resolve them, in this way we'll work towards his defeat.

Kara is employing the same tactics as a matadore. Antagonize the beast and cut him until he's weak then kill him.

Oseng and Gunna,

You both can join this fight if you desire. Shannon is close enough to do so immediately and will be mostly recovered from her magical malady.

MAX will need one post of travel before he can join.

I'd suggest that everyone get above floor level or away from the minotaur.

Kara's not in the area of right thinking at the moment.

Well, hopefully she'll wonder why the big ol' cow is stumbling and choking. If not, we're going to have to do something with that.

Sam's trying to keep thinking at all costs, considering the alternative.

Nope she sees a way to kill him.

Now shes ok.

Alright.

That concludes our Marauder side quest.

We'll be back on our regularly scheduled agenda starting on Monday with Day 4.

At this point, feel free to interact with each other and/or those you've saved in any way you feel inclined to.

I've left the group you saved a blank slate, in order for you to make use of your creativity and help build the world if you so desire. The characters you make will persist in the future and have a definite effect on the SD.

If there is anyone who wants to still join this SD. This is a good point to do so as you can be recruited here as one of those here who held out against the Marauders, giving your character plenty of fodder for being a confirmed bad ass.

I'm going to be gone Thurs-Tues so heads up there.

Posted my Day 4 plan. Anybody got any ideas? Any major plans? Anything that might influence or change other plans?

So far I'm building nets, and forcing Chris to take a break from healing people unless it's absolutely necessary.
