[DungeonWorld] Rhone - Faes, Halflings, and Elves OH MY!~

From his sidelong view of the party, Geckle saw the misty glow of undead magic coalescing in the branches beyond. The aggressor was a hunched figure with little flesh left on its hooded skull. Repulsed by the monster and horrified by what it might do to his companions, the druid cried out and attempted to intervene. Taking two steps forward, he hurled his weapon with as much force as his shoulders could muster. The short spear pierced a nearly skeletal forearm and the spell dissipated between its hands, but the undead only snarled in rage and tore the weapon from its limb, the threat it posed not much diminished.

Geckle shuddered violently but raised his hardy wooden shield, knowing that he would need to retrieve the spear to be of any further use. Making himself small and trying to stay behind the human fighters while he could, Geckle scurried around the clashing blades and snatched his discarded weapon from the tangled roots. To his shock, the robed monster dropped from the tree, wielding what appeared to be a savagely curved sacrificial knife in its good hand, shrieking weirdly from a decayed throat. Fearing to turn his back on the creature, Geckle lunged outwards at the undead, the head of his spear tearing the black robe and striking a gash in the abomination's flesh, but the distance was too great for the weapon to pierce deeply. The dread figure jerked backwards before retaliating with the knife, but the druid's raised shield deflected the movement to one side. Geckle bounded back to the party in the moment of pause that followed, bracing himself against the next onslaught. This time, at least, he would have allies on both sides when the undead continued their attack.

Consult the Helix Fossil

...Oh. Ok then.

Ok, thanks. Can start typing, as usual, in about ten hours once I get back from school.

Yay, lucky rolls! I forgot to add the -1 wisdom roll to interrupting the magic zombie's attack, but it's still a 10 after +2 Dexterity to thrown weapons, I think. I'm not sure how many times I'm allowed to roll an attack per turn, so I did it twice this time on account of going out to retrieve a weapon. Correct me if I misread something somewhere.

It looks like the formula right now is to wait for Turt in between each combat post, so... I guess I'm doing that?

Started playing OFF

I'm pedaling a duckmobile through a river of liquid flesh while hitting smiley eels with a baseball bat. The whole feel of it is absolutely wonderful. :_D

Attempt to find something to stop the bleeding and/or disinfect the wound, and remove the splinter. While we're at it, look for anything that might be useful to salvage.

Origin of Species

yoshua171 said So, I am unsure of how to progress in terms of what I want to do with my species for my next post. I need a bit of help. Maybe some suggestions? I've been agonizing over it for the last few days.

At this stage activity takes priority over strategy, although to be honest, in all likelihood this roleplay's drawing its dying breaths now. If you still want to keep trying, I'd recommend you just do whatever opens the most opportunities for other and returning players to find a niche.

Almost certainly the most WTF thing I've ever seen from Japan

I watched it. Not particularly distressing. The music and dancing kittens was rather fun, actually.

Pokemon Thread

BrobyDDark said Your argument is based around things that appear in first generation compared to the newest. A turtle with giant steel cannons is not steel type because it is based around water attacks. Charizard is not a dragon type because it is based around fire attacks. Also, they're starters. They can't be anything more than the main three elements. I call it bullshit because it is strong against Dragon type, but anything that isn't extremely wimpy can kick it's pink sparkly ass back to the pixie it plopped out of.

Togekiss says hi. So does Mawile. And Azumarill. Clefable too.

BrobyDDark said I don't actually care about dragon. It just confuses me that there is a type out there that can beat dragon and yet everything else screws it over. So much potential, lost.

'Everything else screws it over'? Examples? The only major problem that Fairy has is low effectiveness against Steel, which was nerfed this generation.

Pokemon Thread

BrobyDDark said Let me clarify for everyone: Fairy type is bullshit.

We already have 'Ghosts' and 'Dragons', so it does fit in. I think the name is really the only thing a lot of people have against it, but I'm not fond of that argument, as Pokemon type names are rarely restricted to what the word is usually used to describe. A lichen is a 'bug' but a scorpion is not, a slimeball is a 'dragon' but Charizard is not, a jellyfish is a ghost but the god of nightmares is not, a bronze bell is 'steel'-typed but a turtle with giant steel cannons is not. They're elements that different species are attuned to, not biological families that species fall into.
