Derick the Swordmaster of Doom

Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

[Haspen]

RNG will murder you anyways

[Sirus]

Here's a crazy idea (as in, utterly unlikely to succeed): The group surrenders. They get taken prisoner, the injured party members get healed (rules of war and all that if the soldiers are honorable, execution fodder for Prixima + bounty money if they are not), and then in the next chapter we attempt a daring escape, potentially aided by Chris' timely re-arrival.

Yes, let's surrender to the serial rapist.

...Dammit. Forgot about that.

All this positioning, this is like an evil game of Rush Hour.

One question. Do the death ticks update at the end of the player phase, enemy phase, or ally phase?

[Xanmyral]

One can hunker down and hash out tactics without being a powergamer, being one means that you value optimized builds, combat, and rules as written more than roleplaying, having fun with everyone, and the story.

[Haspen]

One question. Do the death ticks update at the end of the player phase, enemy phase, or ally phase?

At the very beginning of the player turn (as in, after I write everything for a turn update). That goes for all counters everywhere; both players, enemies and allies.

[Culise]

Which means that next enemy phase, Wyvern Knight B is waking up, and next player phase, Tantallos and Derick promptly die.  Actually, the ally phase happens before player phase.  Haspen, can we rely on Anja to move to revive Tantallos on her turn, if she's still on her feet after the enemy phase? 

At any rate, our nukes just got eliminated, and we're basically patching holes not quite as fast as they appear.  Sending Seyena in to save Derick is a notion, but, and I hate to say this, I am not sure that it is the wisest course.  If we do it, Seyena goes down, Matilda dies when she gets dropped (because the ally phase is right after the enemy phase), and Derick's counter gets reset.  Trading Matilda for Derick is an acceptable trade-off (PC for NPC), but I'm not sure if we can save them both before their death counters run out again.

...Okay, thank goodness. Then there may be room for a last ditch effort.

I've looked as best I could. We cannot take down Arvis this turn.

So the plan as I see it.
Seyena->12,10->Javelin Mage D (24AT-9DEF=15==15HP Kill)(113Hit-34Eva=79%Hit Chance)
Riven->12,8->Concoction to Derick
Olison->12,5->Rescue Tantallos->(Drop Tantallos N?)
Gregor->12,6->Vulnerary to Charlotte
Then in the allied phase Anja hopefully can heal Tantallos.

This leaves us with Six PCs up and Seven enemies with all PCs within move range of attacking Arvis the next turn, along with stopping Derick's and Tantallos' death timers for the moment. If by some insane stroke of luck some combination of the PCs survives, we can pin all of our hopes that killing him will end the chapter.

[Sirus]

Seyena's hit chance would actually be 94%, I think. The enemy Mage is within Gregor's Daunt range, which means his Evade is reduced by 5, and Seyena would be within range of Riven's Charisma, boosting her Hit by 10.

Unless you already accounted for that, of course.

[Xanmyral]

Don't forget the additional +10 to Hit from Riven and the archer getting a -5 to EVA due to Gregor's daunt. I'm probably forgetting a few other misc bonuses or something too. The monocle is a fierce and all gazing object able to make even the swiftest of foes slow.

EDIT: Darn slow internet. What Sirus said above me and as I very vaguely put earlier.

I did not.
EVEN BETTER.

[Taricus]

And THIS folks, is why you stick to the fucking plan!

THIS IS WHAT I SAID ALL ALONG

[IronyOwl]

I was panicking. I'm glad you guys mostly have this.

On the bright side, it has the wonderful side effect of completely screwing with Haspen's plot and chapter organization!

Which is one reason it'd probably fail outright.
