The War of the Three

<Snipped quote by Flamelord>

It may not be implicitely on the CS sheet, but Victoire has used this in every battle she's participated in since the beginning of the RP.

@Lonewolf685

I mean, I know that. The power not being listed on the CS is more problematic because it does not lay out the natural progression of the flower/acid and, say, at what point it goes from 'annoying' to 'kill you and dissolve your body inside a minute'. So without GM prompting there is no easy way to go see how much damage it should be doing to your character

The War of the Three

Right then. As future advice, perhaps you should stick around in future battles to provide updates on how far the acid stuff has spread and how effective it is even after Victoire has left the battle. Because none of us have known since she was removed back on page 25, which probably explains why you are so disappointed that people haven't been dropping dead because of it. When we're left to draw our own conclusions, naturally we're going to err on the side of having a cool scene in a fight rather than getting impotently murdered by environmental hazards. It isn't in her character sheet after all.

And as a general statement to everyone else in the thread, I would like to now laugh in your face and say "Hah, I told you so."

The War of the Three

So, dumb question. Once it gets to 'eat off your face with acid' level how are you supposed to counter it? Besides carpet nuking the entire battlefield I mean.

As for ignoring it, I think its because it's hard for us to determine what the particular effect of it will be at points, so we can only guess and hope that it's right. Victoire's character sheet only has 'has blood powers', and the GMs have made no mention of it in the past three pages, so we've been left to figure out on our own how it escalates in effectiveness. Which, unsurprisingly, has resulted in us doing what we want to fight an actual battle rather than everyone dying of environmental hazards.

On the plus side at least Henry won't get Bastion. :P

The War of the Three

Henry is still around, but is kinda getting ganged up on and I think Bastion was about to murder him with magic eye hax. So he probably won't last long.

@Flamelord

Meanwhile Natasha is not being compassionate to them because she doesn't have to because they're bad

@canaryrose

No no, you are showing compassion by helping them escape their cursed, tormented existence with as little suffering as possible. This is totally legit.

@Flamelord I have to officially say that's a Vow that most people would easily break if it wasn't for an RP. :)

@Landaus Five-One

It isn't a virtue because it's easy :p

Accidental Magical Girl CYOA

@Flamelord Tryin' to be civil? At least, Zargoth the Endless has a reason to insult Beacon. XP

@Landaus Five-One

Well Alicia did make a Vow of Patience. That doesn't exactly lend itself to angry tirades.

>Wants more screen time for Ira
>Too lazy to make a character sheet for her but not for her replacement.

I'm sensing some conflicting priorities here

Accidental Magical Girl CYOA

How goes everyone?

@Shifter_Master

Fine. Giving canaryrose the opportunity to unleash righteous indignation upon all those who insult Beacon :P

Tatiana Lorenz

For how successful she had been, Tatiana nonetheless winced as bullets slammed into her shoulder guard, damaging it o a worrying extent in this acidic mist. It was a good thing that her following trick went off as well as it had, or else she probably would not have been a match for the sheer speed and accuracy that the spirit displayed in their brief encounter. As it stood though her psychic abilities had won the day, and now it was just a matter of deciding what to do with her disabled foe. He was certainly incapacitated, at least for a little bit. Mind attacks would do that, especially to entities which relied on that sort of supernatural force to exist.

First she considered taking him prisoner, but she quickly dismissed that idea. He would only hinder her in the fight, and it wasn't as if he was particularly important. Converting him to their cause would be of an uncertain gain, as opposed to the clear gain of winning this fight. She then considered taking his hat, only to quickly dismiss that as well. In this weather and with the battle still going on, it would probably end up destroyed before she really got the opportunity to appreciate it. So she did the only reasonable thing, finishing him off with another blast of Soulfire while wearing a detached expression as her mind turned to other matters. Death was death, and this was the Nexus. She had more important things to worry about.

That finished, she gave a forlorn glance to her destroyed funnels before taking off with retrieved rifles. Those would have been useful, but she would just have to make do without them. As it stood she was having a tough enough time keeping her systems functional when this fog was eating away at everything exposed to the air, and having a hole blasted in the machinery wasn't helping. One of her thrusters was already varying in its power, and she wasn't sure how much longer she could keep it consistent or even functional.

Rising into the sky, she quickly assessed the situation as best she could. It was chaotic, to say the least. Death, destruction, and this place was going to need quite a bit of restorative terraforming before it could be useful for anything besides weapons testing or waste disposal. Not that that was a deterrent for the Machina. Like all things in the Nexus, it was just a matter of time. As for the immediate battle, Graf seemed to still be kicking, and most of the fighting had become concentrated in one particular area. It looked like things were winding down.

Considering the concentration of Machina forces at the other fight, she figured that Graf could use a hand. She might not be able to kill a giant robot, but she could do some damage and perhaps give Graf the edge he needed to win. So she quickly reoriented towards that brawl and took off, straining the engines as much as she needed to to get there. At the same time she pulled up what schematics they might have on Graf's old body, to figure out the best spot to hit it and do some real damage. A plan was quickly formulated, and she was ready to go to work.

Coming into sight range of the fight she was careful to approach Balrog from behind, lining up the shot before pulling the trigger and then pouring in as much firepower as she could manage. The energy blasts would be aimed at the backs of his legs, specifically the joints at the knees which allowed him to move and the various cable and conduits that fed the body with whatever oils or fluids or whatever that were keeping it from locking up and grinding to a halt. She would veer away before she got too close, only to swing around and repeat the process from another angle. She might not kill it, but if she could provide some advantage for Graf, then it would be worth it.
