Crap, that still leaves me 25 short for another team member. I will upgrade Sir's sword to mithril (300), upgrade Sir's agility to 6 (50)and go for the same knight+berserker setup. I'm confident that my team can take them this time. The tactic would be to finish up the berserker as soon as possible, and then wear down the knight. A two-handed mithril sword with a strength of 12 should penetrate that damn armor. 
Also, you seem to keep forgetting that I have a direwolf on my team. I know that's much weaker than the mobs I go up against nowadays, but still. Direwolf.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

EDIT: Also a note: if I do penetrate that armor, then the knight as a creature may be a bit irrelevant, and an easy source of gold: my guys can easily evade him already, so when that armor cracks, it's a pretty one-sided fight.

Note: They'll be stronger, of course. Opponents scale a bit with gladiators.

Sanya wondered where the hell Nikolai was.

"Probably partying or something. I guess I'll just keep going and not really think about it..."
"Hmm. I can probably take on two cutpurses."

Sanya signs up to fight two human cutpurses.

Sorry to everybody, but since my school points weren't exactly good, my dad unpplugged my pc while I was writing the update. ElfCollaborator, you won your fight. Mesor, Thranduil needs to recover (can't fight next turn) but you won the fight too.

Just posting to say that I'm still here, and I'm pretty sure the others are active too.

Because of educational reasons (bad grades at school), I'm unable to continue this.

Sorry everyone, but at least I tried, no?

Edit: If I had to declare a "winner", it'd be Ishar or Tsuchigumo. It'd be close.

I knew it. :3

Shame though. Anyone going to pick it back up?

I probably could, with two possible problems:
-I would like to keep participating as well. Is that a problem?
-The last time I asked, tomio said the system is largely incomplete, and most of it is in hid head.

So, the best I can offer is pulling fight narrations out of my ass, and decide combat effectiveness by completely random dice throws, drawing conclusions as I see it in a logical way. Example:
d6 for attack, Nikolai against a kobold, Nikolai attacks. Possible results:
1: Completely fucks it up, but no negative consquences, since he's much stronger
2: Minor damage/stun, not significant.
3: Serious blow, breaking bones and shit.
4-6: Insant kill.

Now, the same d6 against a dragon would look like:
1: You are dead.
2-3: Can't penetrate the dragon's hide
4: Minor damage
5: A bit more success, possible opening for an additional attack
6: Somehow breaking something. A combination of these has the potential to bring down the creature.

If this is fine by everyone, I think I could do it. Also, I had quite a few ideas for creatures, spells and such. For technical reasons (I can't edit the first post for example) it would be best to open a new thread for this, but characters could be carried over.

I'm up for it. This one lasted a good long time compared to most, really. It'd be nice if we could write a program that did all the math for us, right?
