<Snipped quote by Genni>
Fair enough with the sneak attack, good to know to treat Solid wall as a conscious trait and not passive like the others.

@knighthawk

Normally I'd say it would be passive, given the way it's described in Brick's profile, but with him stepping forwards to throw the grenade and Flare standing behind him at the time even if Solid Wall had activated as normal Brick would've just been protecting the Hell's Bitches from the attack rather than the other way around. And since the damage was easily healed by Nightingale no-one's any worse off by the end of the round anyway. :)

@Leolycan Sorry, but you can only use one ability or attack per turn, so you'd have to activate RETINA this turn and then make an attack with it next turn. The two round counter wouldn't start until the next turn though so you'd still have two opportunities to attack with it before Vex 'burns out'.

Brick is armored and he has Solid Wall, granting everyone 1/3 his Def versus an AOE like the fireball, with armored, his Def should be 15 giving everyone a +5.

@knighthawk

Since it was a surprise attack from behind him Brick didn't have the opportunity to act as a shield for the others. And I'm not just saying that because I want to give Flare the XP points to try and stop Brick getting too far ahead of the rest of the team. XD

Take me with you.

@knighthawk

If you can find me you're welcome to come along. :)

Are you cool with @Leolycan just dropping his character into the fight? The other late-comers had to wait for you to drop them in.

@rush99999

Yes, he cleared it with me in PM before joining. I gave him the choice of waiting for the next round or joining now and losing out on any XP he could've earnt in the first turn.

But a boss conflict is liable to take slightly longer, so having Leolycan drop in now is better. The others waited because it was inbetween conflicts.

@KabenSaal

With the others it was the third round of what I'd planned on being a four round battle, so it made sense for them to hang on rather than joining at level 1 and not even managing to get enough XP to level up before the big fight.

And talking of the big fight, the good news is that both Brick and Flare seem to have gained quite a bit of XP in the last round, even if it was at everyone else's expense. XD

Personally I'm popping over to another roleplaying site with slightly more liberal attitudes when it comes to sexual content and doing some very naughty things indeed. XD

Jurassic War

Personality: Relentless, ruthless, and downright unpredictable, Ridley is perhaps one of the most dangerous dinosaurs in the park. His personality is shrouded one day as a lazy and "shy" dinosaur to a violent, almost uncontrollable, monster. She is also rumored to be incredibly smart, perhaps a mere 2nd place to Indominus/Raptor. Always be on your guard when she's in the area.

@Lmpkio

Hermaphroditic dinosaur?
