By all means.

Effective roll was 18 and Daeth looked at patterns, so that lead to torches. One more.

Once you succeed and get loot, y'all will have the rest of the night IC to interact, should you choose. When you're ready, I'll advance scene to BOSSFIGHT.

So, you mentioned true material being a +3, does that mean I can snag something of that one metal that's magic resistant? But that does assume that its even there, which it may in all right not be. Being elves though, I doubt it'll come in thick slabs of armor though. Darn dainty elves.

EDIT: Meteoric Iron, that was it.

Get a Girdle of Bludgeoning Resistance +15.

[Ross Vernal]

I haven't said anything about who lived there before the humans, preferring to leave such details to you guys. Never know what they might have claimed as prizes, though. xD

There are several that are resistant, but True Meteoric Iron would work.

[Xanmyral]

I wish, Jewel Meteor would be a go then. And laughing at almost all melee beyond a few things meant to beat rock.

Which isn't really a lot that isn't already bludgeoning. Well, to be honest I can only think of a mining pick right now, but I'm sure other things probably exist.

Anyway, secrets abound, what does Jewel do? What he knows. Rocks, that is.

What else would be resistant to magic Ross? The bracelet of elements sounds good, but I'm curious as to how it would stack up against True Meteoric Iron.

[Remuthra]

Well, I think I'll aim for a murder sword as my puzzle solving reward, for ever more skydiving death.

In general, "black" variants tend to be against powers, while "white" tend to be more augmenting powers.


Meteor iron and blacksteel are both resistant. It has more soak against other types, but less elemental. Like, say...


Meteoric Iron Buckler - S 3, P 3, Bl 2, Ba 2, F 2, C 2, E 1, A 0, H 1, U 1, D 1, M 4, AP 4, Un 0
Blacksteel Shield - S 5, P 5, Bl 3, Ba 3, F 0, C 0, A 1, H 0, U 0 D 0, M 2, AP 2, Un 0

Slash = S, Pierce = P, Bludgeon = Bl , Ballistic = Ba, Fire = F, Cold = C, Electrical = E, Acid = A, Holy = H, Unholy = U, Death = D, Magical = M, Auric/Psychic = AP, Unblockable = Un

Element is 4 versus the fire, cold, etc.

[Xanmyral]

Hmm, suppose it might be too much to hope for a suit of heavy plate made outta Meteoric Iron or Blacksteel. And considering what we've seen so far, I'd prefer to keep unelectrocuted.

But then a shield meteoric iron shield would be a nice sort of in-between, still having a bit of protection against the elements while also offering a bit against a few other things too.

I also just realized I may be the only one on Beta who uses a shield. Rurail might, but I don't think he has a polearm suited for such if I recall. Sylvari may though.

[Remuthra]

A shield is a cowardly instrument used by heathen roughnecks who don't know how to take it like a man.

[Xanmyral]

"A shields good for more than just taking and redirecting hits, I practically use it as an alternative bludgeoning tool at times. You'd be surprised how few expect a shield in the face."

[Remuthra]

Ah, but even fewer expect a sword to the gut. Especially when it goes through the shield.

[Rolepgeek]

"No, see, they expect the sword to the gut. That's why they brought a shield. As for going through the shield...got me there. But if you want surprises, how about someone screaming at you loudly enough that your sword shatters?"

[Remuthra]

Blasphemous sword-shattering scum! You must die!

[Rolepgeek]

"See, if you had a shield, you could try to beat me to death with it, but all you had was that sword, which is lying there on the ground (in pieces!). Speaking of lying on the ground, wanna hear a rhyme I made?"

[Remuthra]

Sure, and then you can hear one of mine.
