Actually now that I recall, some of us did guess it was the hurricane back then... well glad you still live. If you wanna chat with us, we actually moved a lot of the OOC chatter to discord: discord.gg/zEeyRnU
Hey everyone I just want to apologize for ghosting for five months! Hurricane Irma took out a massive chunk of my life and then work and school took off so I kinda forgot about everything but helping rebuild stuff. I just wanted to post a thank you to everyone that sent me a pm checking in on me!
If you haven't been doing so, I've updated and streamlined what you should be including in your combat posts. Like how to format and show your skills, attributes, items, current HP, etc. Go look at Reylan's or Solace's last post for examples. If you need the coding here it is:
[hider=Attributes] [color=violet]Strength[/color]: Current + Buff/Nerf [color=violet]Agility[/color]: Current + Buff/Nerf [color=violet]Intelligence[/color]: Current + Buff/Nerf
- Easiest if you write it like this for instance: 10 + 5(Boost Self) = 15 [/hider]
[hider=Skills] [color=violet]Skill 1[/color]: Current + Buff/Nerf [color=violet]Skill 2[/color]: Current + Buff/Nerf
I really feel like you guys could have thrown more stuff in your turns. Each turn is meant to represent maybe 3 mins worth of stuff. If you have higher Agility (like Shiba) obviously you can move quicker to do more stuff. I may suggest taking examples from other players with comparable stats and Class. .... also don't worry about this too much. I think everyone pretty much heard this exact same thing from me at least once.
@everyone
Great round from everyone! It's a lot of fun (I think) to beat you guys up. Haha. Anyways, let's get another great round like this done by Thursday night. If we can fit in 2 combat cycles every week... imagine how fast we can get stuff done!
✧GM's Timeskip - DAY 5 - Dungeon, "The Hill's Sorrow", Boss Room✧
6/22/2076
- Route 1 and 2 are Dead-Ends. - Boss room is through path 3.
The Lycans were fast and strong. Their unity in nature gave them additional strength and speed, making them difficult to defeat. Many attacks by the players have missed, as these creatures moved with blinding speed and agility, dodging many hostile moves made against them. They worked in unison, as if they have had many battles in the past side by side. 3 snarling humanoid figures covered in dark fur exercised savagery.
Fenrir's Herald, the biggest and the most powerful among them, was confronted by 3 players. Despite the weakening of its body though Enfeebling spell combined with Frost Bite, it didn't slow it down by a great deal. The Herald counter-attacked the Swordswoman by knocking her aside with a backhanded slap. But it was an intelligent creature with a particular hatred for magic. It had it's eyes set on a Trainer who was capable of using magic. Herlad was distracted only momentarily by the Paladin's Aggravate, sparing a second to swipe at him violently with its claws. Immediately afterwards it went after Polak. "Evil... magic!" It snarled, bearing its teeth. "Must die!" The Herald knocked the Trainer down with a mighty punch before grabbing him by the leg to throw him across green field. His speed and ferocity made sure he wasn't deterred by any players' attempts to stop him.
One of the Wolfkin Guards were faster than expected. It knew instinctively which target was the most prone to damage and went after the slippery Rogue. Her speed and quick knife-work offended him and he closed the distance between them quickly. It's Passive abilities giving it a large boost to its agility, it was able to catch up and get a few attacks in on the Rogue. One of them missed but 2 of them didn't. Before it could continue however, a flurry of darts and a piercing beam of light stunned it briefly. And before it could react further, it was confronting a series of beasts like itself. Before being stunned by the white horse's stunning charge, it manage to swipe at the giant rabbit, grazing it lightly.
The other Wolfkin Guard was under much heavier assault. The Marauder in particular was a powerful foe, able to match it somewhat in strength. However, his lack of agility saw to it that the Wolfkin was able to dodge a few of his powerful attacks. But those that did land dealt heavy damage. Wolfkin counter attacked quickly, choosing to use a flurry of fast attacks rather than heavyset strikes. Seeing how he was the most imminent threat, it decided to take out the Marauder first. Before it could continue his assault however, Wolfkin took on additional damage from the Archer's sniping and a series of magical spells from a Mage. Unfazed, the Wolfkin pushed aside the Swordsman and Rogue that were hindering him and bit the Marauder's arm and tossed him to the other side.

Honor through strength. Not "honor and strength". There was a big difference between the two for Solace and he lived his life according to such motto. And time had come to prove himself what he was worth. His new found companions were a cast of characters to say the least. Some he liked. Others, he didn't know yet. But if anything for the last few hours of dungeon-running has told him, was that they were competent at what they were doing - which suited Solace just fine. He appreciated capability.
Reylan gave out the orders... Solace wasn't a particularly submissive person but he recognized the need for such leadership. Whatever gets the job done efficiently was good for him. The shock of the werewolf's howl was stunning, Solace felt his HP bar dropping by a bit. He was glad he put in so much points into HP; death would be rather unpleasant. He Dashed over to one of the Wolfkin Guards - he was responsible for taking it out along with Paralyze, Shiba and Alisea. Solace followed up Alisea's set of spells with his own attacks. He decided to save mana, opting to attack the Wolfkin with a series of normal attacks. He was able to throw in 5 normal attacks with the aid of Double Strike, allowing his passive crit strike to go off to deal extra damage.
Summary: - Used Dash - Used Double Strike on Wolfkin Guard - Hit Wolfkin Guard 3 times with normal attacks (last one crit strikes)
