Warrens of Oric the Awesome: Extreme Priority Makeover
And on this note:
Guys, FFS said he's trying to finish Chapter 2 in 11 days. That
probably means we should stop staring at grass and get a move on.
So, let's look at the things we
absolutely have to do:
#1: Defeat Cherish Proxxy (damn it, did it again)
#2: Rescue Al and Riltia
We could
probably rescue Al and Riltia without defeating Proxxy at least in absolute theory, but we might not be able to go down a level or do anything else we needed to do. So, at least for the moment I think we should treat that as one goal.
So, what do we
have to do to defeat Proxxy?
#3: Defeat Cherish
#2: Defeat Wisp Boss blocking way to Cherish
#1: Defeat Searchbots blocking way to Wisp Boss
So what do we
have to do to pull
that off? Well, nothing; save maybe "have a plan" or "get lucky."
So now we're into two categories: One, what do we "need" to do to defeat the Searchbots and then the Wisp Boss and then
Cherish Proxxy (I will hereby be preserving all instances where I call Proxxy Cherish); and two, what do we
want to do before or in addition to pulling that off.
For the first one, obviously that's our combat strategy. For the second, obviously that's finding loot or completing romance subplots or something.
Personally, I'm still a fan of trying to lure the searchbots into the Wisp Boss, then finishing off whoever's left, looting the remains, and formulating our plan of attack on Proxxy herself from that.
Ciro goes in as is.
-Blood Shotgun
Cherish goes in as our healer.
-Heal Skill
-Ice Shaft (2d2 is almost 1d6, vs ice-weak enemies)
-ALTERNATE: Bloodshape her a rifle, restore point our SP back anyway
-At least one, maybe both bottles of water for SP restoration
Goom-Bess goes in as our magetank
-Hardhat to stand there any tank if that's a viable option
-Ice Storm to go all nova on ice-weak enemies before hiding under her own hat
Obviously, everyone's inventory cleared out otherwise.
Anyone have a problem with this plan, and anyone have a reason we shouldn't do this plan
right now? I'm all for other,
practical ideas, but I don't think we've got any gold coming in through the skill tree at the moment and I think our foraging options are limited. If we want to poke around Outer Underside a bit first I'd be down for that, but again, I think we should get a move on.
