Derick the Swordmaster of Doom

Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

[Sirus]

Sorry, one more question Xanmyral:

For the wyvern's underbelly: what color? It features fairly prominently on the newest sprite

Also, fun fact: Salvadore's sprite is at half the scale of everyone else's, and yet is the same dimensions. Here's how big he would actually be:

Dere, ze turn, I post'd eet v:

[Xanmyral]

Ah, sorry for not seeing it sooner, and no need to apologies for questions, I'm always happy to offer the best answer I can.

The underbelly? I'd figure that since the wyvern is a dark, orange-ish gold, it probably wouldn't stray to far from that. Sure, you probably see combos like red hide and yellow belly, and stuff like that, but its always usually yellow. Be kinda weird really to imagine a wyvern with a gold hide and, say, a red, blue, or black belly.

Well, I suppose the darker colors could work without looking too weird, but honestly, I'd say a peach-ish sort of color. Kind of a real light orange, or yellow, not really white, but more of a light peach or cream kind of color would be the best way I see it in my mind I guess.

Any talons, claws, or horns would be a dark grey or black as well.

EDIT: Also its Salvatore, not Salvadore. :p Although if we ever see a minotaur or like creature, I'll call first dibs to say "toro."

[Sirus]

Already made the talons dark gray/black. That's the way they are on the first sprite

So a sort of peach/light yellow then? Assuming I got the right colors, they look pretty good. Can't wait for the promotion! Tomorrow I will work on someone else.

[Xanmyral]

It was such a good choice I felt the need to say it, even though it was already done!

But yeah, a peach/light yellow. I figured anything else would look kind of funny/weird.

[Sirus]

Originally I went with a darker yellow, but your suggestion actually looks better

BORING TACTICAL STUFF
I'd send Olison after the priest (he's poisoned already), send Tantallos or Riven after the mage, send the other after the enemy shaman, and move Alexander in to block the swordsman's advance. With careful healing from Ami and strategic placement of, say, Daniel and Derick, the southern advance will be halted even if Alexander goes down. If Valor moves after the archer, I can move Gregor to his spot in order to keep the knight from going after him. Seyena can easily stay out of range of the knight. In short, the knight won't be able to do anything but attack Gregor or try to run away, and either way he's dead. That'll be the north mostly dealt with.

@Sirus, going to promote to Valkyrie. Don't forget Tenebra's red eyes and Ami's axe.

Spoiler: Tactical Ruminations (click to show/hide)

I agree with taking down the priest, although I can't quite remember what the heck poison does. Blocks healing effects?

I also agree that one of the shamans should hit the mage where it hurts, and the shaman if the attack is worth it. If its not though, I'd rather suggest sending one of them after that merc since he'd have little to no RES, and no way to retaliate, thus bad times is had by him. If Chris can take a blow, having him take a shot at a mage with his crossbow might not be too bad either, but since he lacks RES and only has fifteen health that's a leery idea at best, so having the other shaman go after him would indeed probably be for the best.

Derick should hand off the key to Daniel and get in a good position, Daniel going to unlock the door and getting at the delicious treasure, since he doesn't have a ranged weapon and Chris can take his position in keeping the door blocked even if Alex falls. Having Alex block the myrmidon is also very useful, but with those mages still up they can swap positions and blast him, which is worrying. Another thing Chris can do is take a pot shot at the myrmidon, as with him effectively blocked by a lance there isn't much he can do but take the hit.

Hurrah, now to just hope Salvatore survives and gains enough levels to become a Wyvern Knight.

Spoiler: Tactics, ho! (click to show/hide)

If Alex goes down again, that's just how this game works sometimes. As long as we have people standing adjacent to his body, melee units won't be able to break through since they can't stand on bodies. And now that you mention it, having Chris hold behind Alexander would be much better thanks to his crossbow (I keep forgetting that somehow).

So we're gonna have two Valkyries now? I can't wait to make the most eeeeevil-looking pegasus ever seen in a FE game

Everybody forgets the crossbow. Honestly you people should remember that you have what amounts to a second archer, which is extremely useful.

I know, I know

And then no one needed Charlotte again.

[Xanmyral]

I imagine that's because Chris doesn't want anyone to know he has a crossbow. When I imagine his crossbow, its not those big things you see in sieges, or the ones you take hunting with you. Its a small, one handed crossbow that uses a weird string and pulley system to get more force out of the regular sized bolt than would be expected, its the kind of thing he keeps hidden on him under his robes or behind his cloak until he pulls it out, makes a witty comment, and the other guy can only stare in awe because he has a bolt in his throat.

EDIT: Just you wait until we find a way to rig up a ballista for our group, then you will see, you'll all see!

Gregor does

I'm gonna try to use these next couple of chapters to build a C-support with someone if I can, but my god can Charlotte become a critting fool under the right circumstances. Gregor merely becomes slightly more useful.
