Which would probably be a fairly good idea. Sudden changes in temperature to cause it to become even more brittle.

[Alexandria]

I did consider that, but at the time I was guessing about the flesh construct inside and wanted the bomb for it. Now? I'm leaning towards having Wolfenstien jump inside it after we open a breech and just using him to gather intel.

[kj1225]

...
Well, I do have the second highest damaging attack behind you and that's the one that's gonna breach. It also ignores shields so unless the fleshy bit is fire shielded (which would make my attack moot) it's probably fried.

[Alexandria]

Problem is where is the fleshy bit.

I'm aiming for the chest since it's the largest target. If it's in the head then it's a moot point anyway.

[kj1225]

It has a head? Seems like an unnecessary weakness.

[Alexandria]

Not on a golem. COntrolled ones have no brain. This thing? Unless the flesh thing is in the head then it's just a target to distract us.

I suggest you ask for a hint. I've avoided it until now using only my own knowledge to figure things out but meh. Pride isn't worth screwing us.

[kj1225]

Well, my point on the heads being a structural weakness would be that it's shielding that could be used for guarding the brain by putting it in the body and using the head stuff for more armor.

[Alexandria]

True. But a fraction more armor is no more useful then giving your enemy more targets to choose between.

Either one works.

[kj1225]

So it's a distraction like a chainmail bikini that one sees so often in games and is?

[Alexandria]

Basically.

Look at this situation.

Even with a little more armor on it's chest odds are my attack will stick smash a hole.
If however I used my attack on the head and the spot I need is in the chest? Then having the head is more effective then the extra armor.

I always tend to favor agility over endurance because it's better to make it harder for your enemy to land the mortal blow then it is to take a little less damage from it. At least to me.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I have a lot more information no this enemy then the rest of you do.

Oh really.

AGAIN: I will not have Arguments. Bring them up with me. I will not say this again.

I have a problem.
You are mistaking a tactical argument for people saying something is wrong with...something you're doing?

Because to explain it would take minutes and IC we have seconds.

Then only say the important part. Something like:
"If we smash the fleshy heart inside it, it'll die! I'll smash open a path to it, attack right after I do!"
Five seconds, tops. Probably still short enough to count as a Free Action.

Allies won't get caught if you will trust me.

The problem is, people don't. And you haven't given anything except your word and your command to get us to do so.
I do, more or less, but since Carl is pretty well a noncombatant that's kinda moot.

Thats actually the same reason I didn't explain earlier IC. Nobody has actually asked me to explain and I've been busy focusing to set this up.

I have a complex plan based on knowledge only I know that requires the cooperation of several other team members...I won't tell them anything!
Are you intentionally roleplaying an idiot?

The main reason I'm not stating it IC is you have not ASKED ME.
I have tried to communicate, I have tried to explain. You ignored me. I'm not going to just decide in the middle of a battle to try again without somebody asking me to. You want to know IC? Then ask me.
I'm not the only person here theres 9 of you. Rather then complaining at me here you could have said 6 simple words IC and I can explain everything I know.

1. Carl is running away.
2. OR, you could realize that no one else knows what you're planning and try to explain anyways.

Lol but you expect me to do it? Double standard much?

There is a difference.
Torban informing everyone else makes sense, because he has a reason to do it (tell these idiots my plan and why it works).
Others asking Torban what he wants them to do or whatever does not, because this requires them to somehow know that Torban has special secret vital knowledge the rest of them don't.

So it's a distraction like a chainmail bikini that one sees so often in games and is?

No. It makes sense.
It's more like a decoy than a distraction, anyways.

Mostly because people haven't asked. Before I end tutorial mode, I want people to be able to work in a team without me holding their hands :/

It's hand-holding to tell us vital information about the boss? And yet it isn't to PM that said information?
Either tell us right at the start because we should know IC, or tell us at the start and handwave it, or don't tell us at all!

Anyways, heres a hint. Unless you find a way to stop its damage mitigation. You won't be able to deal enough damage to it to make it reveal it's core.

Important Tactical Information Above.

Also, I'm trying to make the two weak links, Alexandria and KJ, to actually work together. Which I'm proud to say they are sorta.

You have a funny definition of "working together"...

[Alexandria]

GWG do you ever bother to fully read things? I did say multiple times the reason I haven't explained is that I tried.

I tried to bring you all out before this cluster fuck so I could fill you all in. I injured myself to do it. And you all completely ignored me. When you try to help somebody and they throw it in your face do you go right back to them for a second helping? No. And since I even said IC I have a plan, I need you lot to distract it for me all of you do know I have information you don't.
So it's not my fault not one of you has bothered to ask.

Your blaiming me for not sharing information after you threw it in my face when I actually did try to give you it. Seeing the problem? Why should I now give you all the information when not one of you even has the courtesy to ask me? Or apolagize for ignoring me when I tried to do exactly what you want me to.

It's kinda funny. When me and KJ actually put our heads together on something we make a good team. We just tend to end up smashing our heads together most of the time.

[kj1225]

Well, to be fair it was a bit late to inform everyone there was danger. Especially as vaguely as you did.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Mind quoting those posts, Alexandria? I didn't see anything like that.

[Alexandria]

Closing his eyes Torban slowly starts to float as electricity crackles across his body leaving burns in it's wake, grunting in pain he focuses his mind on the rest of the team sending the same short message into the minds of the other 10 along with a picture of empty graves and a feeling of urgency.
Return fast to the caravan. Great danger is approaching.

Torban looks around.

If you can use elemental magic come here if not then keep it off my back. I have a plan.

Now do you see why I might be annoyed?
