> Why is one of the suggestions to give the abomination more victims to rape? Is that a necessary part of the plan? Fuck the lizard, I ain't dealing with that thing. If that thing gets near me, I kill it. It shouldn't be too hard, the terrain is on my side in the event I fight it in the sewers (Enclosed space made of stone!), however, that would be wasting something designed to get some PC interaction. > > When I feel like writing my next one I'll just drop him off somewhere. As I stated, I have three options and I listed what I preferred. Until you drop him off, I'm at your mercy as I can't really do anything other then the last option. A last one for key *reasons* Free, not just that one. > Wait, I can just throw Roan in a stone cage if we have him shift... I rather not have him shift for several reasons, not just that one and most of them are OOC concerns. If he shifts, these include: 1. His wolf mentality hasn't had much time to reset since his last change. His last shift change was like what, a few minutes ago...at best? His wolf's mind needs at least some time to reset and longer is better. Right now... His mind would be three-fourths animal, driven by the baser of needs to survive, with very little human left to will himself back afterwards and yes, he *has to will* himself back. 2. While Markul can hold him, he wouldn't be easy. Roan's stamina would take hours or longer until the wolf settled down due to adrenaline. I'm not sure how long Markul can keep Roan contained, but I seriously doubt you want to be stuck babysitting a wild animal for several IC hours or posts. And it still doesn't solve my mental issue. If anything, it just makes it worse and I risk Roan never becoming a human again. 3. Roan's wolf is starving right now, that goat has long since been used up. Markul doesn't know Roan needs meat right now or fact Roan's mind has hit a state of primal level (much like the Lizard in this case)which risks Markul possibly assuming Roan's out to purposely kill him. I rather Markul not skewer Roan and hit his heart or cut off his head (note you can stab him through the head and he'll still be kicking until it's detached), which I wouldn't blame him in least as I would consider doing the same. Unless he's fed soon after shifting, Roan won't be able to shift back even if he could. 4. That knife is still inside Roan last I checked. It's keeping the wound from closing and mending when he goes wolf. That's the main reason all his other wounds healed but that one. Until it's removed, Roan can't mend or heal which is another flaw in his regeneration ability. If something's obstructing his wounds and keeping him from mending, he can bleed out to the point of passing out cold and beyond. This stops his mental deterioration into a beast, but it doesn't stop the possibility of death. These are main reasons that shifting is my absolute last option. Granted when the bleeding stops and he's slightly patched, Roan will still go wolf but I can at least have some time pass enabling him to shift back after he's fed. I've already talked to Ellri and we aim for Roan to take out Thora, namely in a bloody and nasty conflict, allowing Roan to taste human blood for the first time as I hinted earlier.

Note that I'm working on an app for a creator- someone who can make dimensional bags, or potions, or buildings, etc.

I must be mistaken on the rape count either. Maybe it's just the usage of the phrase 'had his way'. Anyway, moving on. Toughened scales wouldn't protect from blunt force, said force would still deal lots of internal damage, assuming the force in question is great enough, I.E a hammer. Or a large rock. for instance, think about why warhammers were the bane of armored knights... Though it would deter sharp things, sure. My hands are sort of tied here, Marky doesn't know shit about the area and he wouldn't ask for help. In any event, he's going to stick around with Roan either way, so he is TOTALLY willing to wait around babysitting a wild animal. He needs to make sure that saving him was the right choice, mostly so that he doesn't freak out and eat people. So I'm gonna go with the last option, I'll PM you.

Thats the difference with naturally grown scales and plate armor. Plate armor is fairly thin and not perfectly molded to the surface it is on. It is also fairly inflexible. It dents when impacted, rather than flexing. Scales on the other hand, are individually very hard, and they flex somewhat. When they flex, the impact force is spread out over a larger area. In other words, you need a lot more force to actually cause any harm. But the scales are still individually very strong, so they're still resistant to focused impacts like spears/knives/swords. Also, plate armor was typically around 1.5-3mm thick. The scales on a creature like this one are easily two or three times that, especially in the more vulnerable regions. The flesh underneath the scales is also denser, more packed with muscle. and of course inside that again, are exceedingly thick bones, not prone to fractures. There are also some funny traits to the creature's cells, which means they're unusually durable.

He needs to make sure that saving him was the right choice, mostly so that he doesn't freak out and eat people. The point is I risk losing a PC as Roan's mind will turn into something like Mr. Scales that Ellri introduced, making saving him a mistake. The animal isn't evil but has no guilt about killing a "strange" animal (which it what he sees humans as mostly) to survive. The only humans he would have problems eating is those he's developed a pack/mate relationship type mind set to. Sadly he's not yet established that with anyone. > So I'm gonna go with the last option, I'll PM you. I was hoping to at least fall back to option two. Even if Marky doesn't ask for help, I can't see all Othean people being cold or not bothering to at least mention where the clinic is. It's obvious Roan's bleeding with the knife in his back so for all they know the two encountered muggers or bandits in the alley. Either way I'm stuck and really haven't got much of choice in this from the sounds of it. Less we can come up with a situation that works, I'm going to be out of a PC rather quickly either by death or mental deterioration. Sadly I don't think Angie's in the area anymore. Else she could at least enlighten Markul about Roan's mindset and even tell him why Roan's so aggressive, possibly be able to calm him. Right now even a horse, rat (20 or more)or something large will be helpful as like any wild animal, he'll go for easier prey. Hopefully we can figure something out.

> Myth could just zap it and electrocute it, have some charred lizard-man-thing for lunch. > > nomnomnomnomnom That could work, if not for this fact: >After he returns, Roan finds he has an immediate appetite for raw, fresh and bloody meat. This is likely his relic’s price for energy and tends to affect him the longer he denies it. So if Myth can just hurt it then Roan will pick up the scent easily and that would work. He'll focus on the wounded Lizard. Any sort of meat works, he doesn't even have to be the one to kill it, just long as it fits the description above. Though this might be an ideal use for this little morsel Ellri's thrown us? Though if you've got no muse for Myth, WilsonTurner, I don't want to force you to play him.

The thing with the lizard creature is that it is not meant to be something any one character can kill.It is meant to be something you need to group several characters up to kill. Sure, you could in theory drop a building on it or try to fry it with lightning, but until people start working together to deal with it, it'll have a nasty habit of getting lucky, of just avoiding death. Subtle GM hint, eh? Testing the guild color system a bit on the side now.

Not to mention would your lightening breach it's scales? That is the question :P Would it Earth as well? Electricy is only really deadly if it passes THROUGH the body i.e. one point to the other.

Made the sword two-handed, eh? For a more reliable two-handed sword, we'd suggest chaning the hilt slightly... right now, you've got it at:
|-|--|-| |-|--|-| \|--|/ |\__.__|--|__.__/| \_._._| - |_._._/ |\\| |\\| |-|++|-| |\\| |\\| /*~*\ \_._/
 However, this would provide an easier grip:
|-|--|-| |-|--|-| \|--|/ |\__.__|--|__.__/| \_._._| - |_._._/ |\\| |\\| |\\| |-|++|-| |\\| |\\| |\\| /*~*\ \_._/
 Most hands are actually fairly wide. and you wouldn't want to hold your hand up against the thing in the middle of the grip. It might chafe.
