A castle that was his. Servants that were his, if they're still alive. All run by the Voice, now, and there's no indication that this was how things were before. Quite the opposite, in fact.

[TopHat]

Hmm. I think I may have worked out a trick that could stack the odds firmly in our favour if we decide to challenge Horologe. Unfortunately, it'll require a save point for maximum effectiveness, which would require an additional delay side-tripping to DL2. And I'd rather not leave Ripriver longer than possible.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Horologe?

[draco1234]

Horologe?

The time demon.

[flame99]

Well, let's hear the trick. Unless you're banking on an unspoken plan guarantee.

Well, let's hear the trick. Unless you're banking on an unspoken plan guarantee.

Here goes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's Simple really. Re-absorb Anticoagulater (the Shotgun) (+4MSP). Abuse MSP, giving us 21SP. Save. Bloodshape Cupid's Assault (that sniper rifle). Restore at Save Point. Enter fight. If starting at long range, open fire, using the rifle's Imbue Shot ability with all of our SP. With the range bonus, that's basically a 3-in-4 chance of getting d8+20 damage (21-1 DR). From then on, basic attacking should drop him pretty quickly. If we don't start at long range, we can just have Al hold him off for a turn or two whilst we get into position (guarding, for 12DR with Bulwark, Met Hat & Rubric he should be able to absorb pretty much anything until the Bulwark fails, and then still have 7DR)
Of course, if we fluff that one shot, we can either try to wear him down with normal attacks (with Al guarding we should win the war of attrition) or second shift, burn some soul charge, and see what Holy damage does to a Daemon.

+1. I have the ominous feeling that FFS will find some way to punish us for save point abuse, but eh. Let's just see what happens.

[NAV]

I think we can do better and kill him in one turn. What we need to do is use almost all of Ciro's MHP and MSP to bloodshape a ridiculously powerful weapon. Like a gatling-rocket-launcher-with-a-chainsaw-bayonet-chucks. Have Al tank with his bulwark, knight rubric, and met hat. Give cherish the weapon, and she can beat Horologe in a single turn. Maybe 2 if we're unlucky.

It just doesn't make sense to have Ciro bloodshape a powerful weapon and then enter the arena in a weakened state, when we can have her bloodshape an even more powerful weapon and let someone at full stats wield it.

inb4 1 is rolled and Ciro gibs.

Sounds good.

Tempting.

Why not both? Have the ridiculously powerful weapon be a gattling-sniper-rocket-launcher or something, so it will probably have the Imbue Shot ability (or similar). Then, give it to Cherish and we can have them execute the first plan.

inb4 1 is rolled and Ciro gibs.

Yes, that's the drawback of that plan.

[javierpwn]

inb4 1 is rolled and Ciro gibs.

In that case, Al gets a free meal.

[hops]

inb4 1 is rolled and Ciro gibs.

That would be a hilariously anticlimatic game over.

Therefore +1 on the plan

[GreatWyrmGold]

It wasn't a Game Over last time we died.

Realistically, the Influx could automatically Switch to Al or something, and then Al can revive us.
The issue with reviving though, is picking a class....(Paraplegic Rat Summoner)
