If we guard, we're just letting the met get more hits on us, considering it can do long range attacks itself.
Thus I think the way forward is to give slog the scanner, pick up the rifle, and shoot at the met, as ciro, for AL to see about treating Riltia's damage if possible, for Riltia to block, and for slog to just uh.. I guess try to treat its own damage??

BUT THEY'RE BLOCKING NEXT TURN. The only time we can attack is when they're about to attack, and they just finished attacking, so they'll spend this turn blocking. THEREFORE, it'll be absolutely useless to try and attack. It'd just waste time.

So what's your plan, then?
You're also assuming that block = invulnerable.


The Link system sounds neat. I just need a game to link up with it.
...Maybe A Beginner's Guide could be a prequel of sorts?

In the case of Mets, they're nigh invulnerable while blocking. Invulnerable in Mega's world, Nigh in Ciro's.

Spinoff rules apply, and we're moving on a tactical grid similar to Battle Network anyway.

Hm... I wonder if it'd be possible to link to different worlds than the handful of ancient games FFS had intended.

My curiosity mainly stems from wanting to cheese our current world with useful items and concepts from others, of course.

In fact:

Well, even if that is the case, what's your plan?

To do out inventory swapping with Slog, and try to recover HP. Or Just hang out.

We're too far away. And I doubt we can jump the gap from down below.

CIRO: Give SLOG Spellbook of Breeze, pick up Rifle, move three spaces to the right. Fire at the MET.
SLOG: Move three spaces to the right, cast Frizz at MET.
AL: Jump three spaces right, fall, attack MET with that Polarized Blade Thingy.
RILTIA: Jump three spaces right, fall, attack MET with BFS.

Next turn, this is the important part, as I said Next Turn which I shall emphasis, AL and RILTIA will GUARD, soaking the hits from the MET without posing any trouble such as death to CIRO and SLOG. Or attacking again and soaking the hits, whatever.

Why? Again, it's not like we can do anything significant this turn, but if we have Ciro shoot first next turn, and, say, AL jump down and swing right after, the damage is more than likely going to kill the Met before it can attack. We always move first, remember?

We never tested our JUMP ability in this scenario, did we? Let's do that at least.

[b_knight286]

If we decide Ciro can't damage them and thus shouldn't do anything, I propose we do some makeshift bandaging like Al did in his first fight with us.  We could REALLY use the +1 hp.  If Freeform tries to argue against it due to our wounds being from giant pellets which would bruise, I remind him that bruising is internal bleeding, which blood magic is somewhat well equipped to regulate.

Urge to make ridiculous short-lived item mule game... rising.

Meanwhile I can't follow all this combat-talk. I'm only good for logistics and even then I'm cheating.

Spoiler: Statistics (click to show/hide)

First off, thank you everyone for the responses so far! Here's a totally scientific statistifact:



The most-stated complaint was with the complexity and quantity of inventory management. Personally, I find it hilarious seeing everyone try to shuffle inventories around all the time, but I understand that gets tiring. I am hesitant to remove "worn" items from the inventory (as that's even more bookkeeping for me and the players), but I will definitely add purchasable or locatable "loot bags" to carry your stuff in. You know, kind of like a bag of holding. Just don't lose the loot bags!

I thought it was kind of odd how many people voted for Riltia as favorite character as well as... well, you see the chart above. Riltia doesn't have that much of a visible personality compared to the other characters.

I agree that tips being purchase-only is an annoying way to pay for a tutorial (if kind of humorous). However, tips are all things you could feasibly figure out via experimentation, so it's not that big of a deal. I will add a method to find them other than the Tipkeeper.

A couple people did note that there isn't much in the way of character advancement outside of what we've seen. However, Warrens of Oric is a long-term game, and anything is possible - eventually. You aren't able to grind for a Sceptre of Childrens' Tears right now, but if the dice line up just right or you complete some inane sidequest/crafting chain, you might get one anyway. If the players really, really want something, they can get it somehow. If this was more of an RPG and less of a dungeon crawl, I would budge on the issue and give you guys the keys to the crafting kingdom, but the main focus is exploration.

Update tuesday! Maybe!

Personally I preferred the Santa Maria. It's definitely the one that discovered the genre. 5/5

[Xanmyral]

Bah, the Hindenburg was the best ship, 6/5 all the way. It really put a new dimension on ship travel.
