It would kind of be a shame if we didn’t see her again until the event ends. I mean I assume they turned down a proper fight against me because they wanted her to appear again. Oh well… [hr] [h1]L O S T I [b]N[/b] T H O U G H T[/h1] [@DarkwolfX37] Needless to say, Nuncio was a little concerned when the doll girl randomly didn’t trust him and stubbornly waited for Penny to come back. He probably would have stayed with her, but that was one hell of a retcon that he had no intention of introducing He instead focused on leading Shion out of the overcity. Needless to say, the overcity wasn’t exactly a convenient place to navigate. When they came out they were several blocks from Sanctuary. [b]”So uh, bit of an intermission there.”[/b] Nuncio folded his arms. [b]”Ya was sayin somethin’ about leaving Penrose?”[/b] He sighed. [b]”I ain’t gunna lie. For Faith, for Sammy? I think it’s in all of our best interests we get the flock outta here.”[/b] [hr] [h1][color=PeachPuff]S[/color] P E C I A L N E E D S[/h1] [@Ariamis] Su wouldn’t even have time to think of a response to Helga’s question before she was cut off. [color=PeachPuff]”Seems we have other things to be concerned about.”[/color] Su yanked the bandages off of her head. [color=PeachPuff]”There no reason we can’t help an ally of Penrose. Let’s see what we can do.”[/color] And with that, they ran for the portal.

[color=#bd71e8]”What’s this? Another foe invades Penrose?”[/color] She pointed at the portal. [color=#bd71e8]”We should follow the rest of Maura’s agents!”[/color] She blazed a trail straight for the portal, followed by a scrambling Trixy. Viridian, on the other hand, seemed content to stay behind. [hr] [h1]P A T C H N [color=tomato]O[/color] T E S[/h1] [code]Hello Patrons! Like we promised, we’ve finally rolled out the newest balance patch for Oros, and it’s a pretty significant one! The biggest and most notable change is that Oros is no longer a monster girl! She has a new purified skin. In terms of balance, we wanted Oros to seem more like Mika, so we removed a lot of her monsterous abilities. Her VIT, MAG, and LCK have all been reduced slightly. She’s also lost a lot of her unfair survival options, which allows her to feel pain and survive attacks that would cause her heart to stop beating. She can also no longer void step, and her ability to sniff out Mint and Beacon players has been entirely removed! We know Beacon players needed a lot of help, and we all breathed a sigh of relief to see that go. But it’s not all bad news for Oros mains. Oros’s martial training lets her make use of non-magical weapons in her hammerspace, and her memory link lets her share her memories with others. We understand that players who enjoyed Oros’s beast like qualities might not like this change, but it does give utility and role play opportunities to those who wish to use her more cautiously. The dev team is a really big fan of frying pan => Shotgun => Memory Link(“We dated in an alternate universe”) => Endless Eclipse => M4 => AA-12 => Tentacles => Pool Fist Dash => Memory Link(“This Was Your Death”) => Headbut. We’re happy with how she is, but we’ll be keeping an eye on Oros until the season ends. We’ll likely have to roll out one more patch for her before the Christmas event starts. -The Riot Team [/code]
