Derick the Swordmaster of Doom

Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

[Xanmyral]

I may have some, I need time to look it over, something I'm in short supply of.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Well, let me know when you've given it the once over.

I like your plan to kill the two sages in one go, and if you're right about your crit chance you have a good chance for it to work out pretty dang easily.

The thing is, for it to work out properly and optimally, Wyvern Knight B has to take a dirt nap.

The best person to do that would be Olison, who auto double hits (you forgot charisma) those poor bastards for half their health with a twenty percent chance to crit, thus killing them in one assault, and who has two moves.

A safe move might be for Olison to use his two turns to kill wyvern B with no muss of fuss, with the corollary of attacking A if he manages to kill B due to a crit, otherwise just hitting him twice. If we get really lucky, that may be two wyvern knights dead right there.

Afterwards, it would be good for Seyena to move a tile south of B and either attack A or C with her steel javelins, depending on if A survives Olison. This puts her out of range of the wyvern riders, assuming Alexander takes the place of wyvern B. Valor can then commence operation Kill All Mages with his indeed 96% chance of critting, taking out the two mages.

Alexander can hit a wyvern rider for 13 damage with an 87% chance of pulling it off, Sal with either an assured 16 damage hit or a 16 damage hit with a chance of critting (50% I believe) but a chance (albeit small) of missing. Seyena can either safely double for ten damage, or take a risk and go for twenty.

Originally I thought that maybe it would be best for Olison to attack both anyhow, but looking at it, it would consume too many people and actions to take down B for sure, and the corollary still gives us the chance anyhow.

Now, where to put Salvatore and Alexander however? Alexander is best taking on the wyvern riders, but looking at it, I think Sal may be more needed north to deal with the pegasus riders. They only double him for three if he has his axe, which considering he's at full health, isn't really all that much. Granted, two can hit him at once, but he's basically an assured lock on everything north. If he moves east, he and Alexander can try and block off the wyvern riders, but that requires A being killed in order to actually close that gap. The north could probably be held well enough with Danya and Matilda, but there's always the chance they fail. And we won't get any of that delicious EXP.

So, if I were to take a stab at turn order:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Olison takes an action to either strike B twice with his throwing axes with the contingent of attacking A if he kills B with his first action.

Seyena moves south of where B was and takes a pot shot at either A or C, depending on if A lived Olison's possible attack (I suggest A if A is still alive).

Alexander could then move into his position of where B was and either attack A if he's still alive, or C, still reaping the benefits of our Charisma Totem. He notes (free actions, yay) that he will guard Sal when/if Sal will be in range.

Salvatore from there can pick up the last medicine and recall staff from store (making it empty), moving down next to Matilda and handing off the recall staff to her, and takes a auto-hit pot shot of thirteen damage to Wyvern A. Even if Olison doesn't attack Wyvern A, assuming Alexander hits, wyvern A will die. From there, depending on if we decide if he's more useful helping Alexander fighting off the wyverns or more useful laughing at the pegasus rider's spears.

Finally, everyone having reaped the benefits of charisma, Valor moves south and shows those mages a bad time.

what about muh woman
what does she do

[Blade Master Model 42]

Groovy.

Crimson, let's get this ball rolling!

Well. I would suggest that Matilda recovers Valor, Tiron heals him, then Anja dances him and Olison again. Then Valor can start in on that wing of pegasi maybe.

Or not. I think a bunch of them have range, and I don't have flawless accuracy against them either.

[Sirus]

I wholeheartedly approve of Valor's plan to Kill All Mages.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I hope Tiron isn't too put off by Valor's burning hatred for wizardkind at large.

[Sirus]

...I just had a thought that might help Valor get over that hatred (just a little).

Tiron can (assuming his level is high enough) cast Sharpness using call magic. That's +30 Hit, or something along those lines. For 5 turns. After a couple casts of that, even Sal and Alex will have very good chances to hit anything that goes after them. Valor would probably be able to autohit the falcoknights, or at least have greatly boosted chances.

No, Valor is still going to hate wizardkind at large.

Raquel, Tantallos, Riven, Tiron, Matilda, and the one guy with the A team whose name escapes me right now are on the list of Exceptions.

[Sirus]

Are you talking about Mannan the Bishop or Dag the Sage?

[Blade Master Model 42]

Mannan.

He doesn't really know Dag.

[Xanmyral]

Tiron can (assuming his level is high enough) cast Sharpness using call magic. That's +30 Hit, or something along those lines. For 5 turns. After a couple casts of that, even Sal and Alex will have very good chances to hit anything that goes after them. Valor would probably be able to autohit the falcoknights, or at least have greatly boosted chances.

Sal can actually hit things pretty reliably due to his promote personal skill (reliably being eighty to ninety percent chance to hit), its just that he can't survive very long afterwards in most cases and my luck tends to take mood swings.

As for what the NPCs do, that very much depends on what Sal does. Is he going north, or sticking east?

I suggest Matilda sticks up north no matter what, or really just kinda swapping between north and south blasting the flying enemies out of the sky. Danya can try to hold the north section, but I don't really know how long she can keep that up to be honest, low health and she doesn't have that great of defense really. A few lucky hits and she's down, and they swarm in.

As for Anja, I suggest either doubling more people or flutting Tiron so he can use his call magic more often.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Let's see how Olison and Seyena do against A and B, then determine from there.

[Powder Miner]

i bet edwin definitely isn't on the exception list
in fact
i bet
he's on the "extra hate kill now" list

[Blade Master Model 42]

Edwin is one space below Prixima.

Assuming of course that you omit all the dead wizards from the list.

Not to say the seething loathing with which he regards Prixima the Witch is even approached by 'The Smug Idiot Who Would Place a Dangerous Artifact Over Actual People'.
