[OOC] Agartha: The Untold Tales (An RPG)

Arton: "No one left behind! *Later, sees guy missing an arm* "Well crap.."

[Champion]

A glimpse into what the types of things you will be witnessing. I hope Arton has a strong stomach.

[Genni]

The area around the entrance was scorched black, however, ash covered the majority of the area. The entrance itself resembled a giant head with the mouth serving as a gateway beckoning the heroes to go deeper. The eyes glowed red and emitted a smoke cloud that rained ash into the area.

More likely to get angry than sick

[Genni]

@Ithradine Especially when you find out the 'survivor' is possessed by a demon after he sucker punches you in the gut?

@Genni

ESPECIALLY after that. After the possessed guy breaks his hand, Artons gonna slap the demon out of him.

[Pseudo Stygian]

I can't... I can't tell how I'm supposed to voice the king in my head. On one hand, he's all regal and serious-deep-voiced but the next moment he just starts lulzing.

This is not a complaint. I love him. Hopefully we get to see him again.

Also, DM, sir, I appreciate your no-nonsense-let's-get-on-with-the=plot attitude.

@Champion With a Speed of 8 compared to the Undead Soldiers’ 1, how many arrows would Arwen be allowed to fire before she’d have to fall back, or switch to melee weapons?

@Genni

If your talking from the soldiers to the entrance, id say you'd be able to knock and release 2 times. But considering your bow generates the arrow itself, you'd be able to knock and release 4 times depending on how many arrows you fire each time.

@Champion

In that case I'll make it one Standard arrow to a knee for each of the three Undead Soldiers currently in sight.

Since we regenerate 10 points per post, and she's only looking to inconvenience the targets rather than kill them outright as well as aiming for quick firing rather than long charged shots, Arwyn will only channel 3 points of mana per shot, draining her of a total of 9 mana for this round of firing which will immediately regenerate again keeping her on 50 total MP.

Would that make her attack damage (Strength 4 x Weapon Power 3) = 12 Damage per successful attack? Or is it just Weapon Power 3 = 3 Damage per successful attack?

Once she sees how well, or how poorly, the attacks work the shadowbow will be able to tailor the strength of her shots appropriately. No need to drain herself completely with an opening barrage if only the bare minimum is needed to halt the creatures' advance.

[Pseudo Stygian]

Ah, yeah, I'm gonna have to wait for some clarification on how stats affect damage too. Nanda gonna buff somebody but I got no idea which stat would best suit whatever she's intending to do.

Like, is Strength exclusively for deciding the things they can carry, or does that affect physical attack damage too? How about speed? If say, Arton was defending himself against the undead with his shield, would that be in any way affected by his Endurance or his Vitality?

@Genni

Normally it would be weapon damage + strength = attack damage. Then defense/resistance - attack damage =damage dealt.

If a creature has a resistance to magic or physical ofcourse damage will go down just like if you aim for the head, damage will go up. So theres a few variables.

@Pseudo Stygian

Strength helps with damage but ultimately, the attack of the weapon is gonna be the most damage. Increasing strength would also increase damage. In Artons situation, strength will determine how well he can hold them back and endurance will determine how long he can hold them back. Vitality will determine how many blows he can take whole he holds them back. Speed however wouldn't be a factor for this type of action.

[Jerkchicken]

How many medium stamina consuming abilities can I use before I get close to getting winded?

@Jerkchicken

There are a lot of variables being calculated when it comes to exhaustion. Ill keep track of stamina starting in my next post. You will get at least a one post warning before you reach exhaust.

[Jerkchicken]

cool

[Genni]

Normally it would be weapon damage + strength = attack damage.

@Champion

In Arwyn’s specific case here it would (Strength 4 + Weapon Power 3) = 7 Damage per successful attack then?

Will targeting their legs inflict any sort of status effect for the attack? Or would Arwen have to use an Ice arrow or something similar to deliberately cause any such effect?

Since she can vary the strength of her arrows, would it be possible for her to channel all her mana at once for a 53 Damage Attack, which would then leave her totally drained for a few turns afterwards?

@Genni

It is possible to put more MP into the arrow to increase its damage. Mana Drain works similar to stamina drain so after you'd run out you'd be somewhat exhausted. I don't wanna answer this question too much because it will spoil some details that have not yet been revealed IC, however, attacking an opponent in the legs can cause some form of paralysis or make the limb useless altogether. Same with attacking the arms, you can disarm someone's weapon attacking that way.

[Genni]

@Champion

Hopefully setting fire to someone's head will have some sort of distraction effect on them.

[Jerkchicken]

Hopefully Arwyn's fire attack can 1 shot the zombo

[Genni]

Or at least weaken it enough so all Arron has to do is push it over. :D
