Why would the puddle soak us? I did this twice already I made the puddle and it stayed where I put it. No need to maintain it.

My response was that the golem reducing it's power can be fixed. Say for instance put it on the outside of the Golem then put 1/2 cm of mud over it just to conceal it. It'll have no real effect on the blast and still enable you to convince your enemies to cluster onto the bomb rather then seeing somebody about to throw it and scatter.

But it's all down to style, tricking my enemy into running into the blast is my kind of tactic but might not be yours. The tactics I came up with were all based around me, meaning they were suited to my play style which is why I said I'd like to see other peoples. Different people means different styles which means different tactics.

And it is combining it, I have water then I channel lightning into the water and since by elemental nature water amplifies lightning that will magnify the shock it delivers and also turn an attack that hits 1 person into one that hits everything in the water. So as long as it's a mage made source of water and it was used on enemies away from allies it's a perfect way to shock multiple enemies.


These are all designed to be prepared in advance though. Suicide Golems, make a huge puddle in the direction the enemies will come from but put it beneath the ground as I did once before. They charge you raise it beneath them zap it and extra crispy enemies. I considered it a while ago to combo for me and blades. I make the puddle he jabs in his lightning sword. Even if it catches him what's it gonna do? Maybe send him back to his stone. If I don't just have Mamessia use shell on him first to protect him from magic.

Most of my tactics are built around me and my summons I'm just playing with them to fit them to players instead.

Because water flows, Alexandria. It doesn't like being kept in one place. Unless the enemies are in a depression, it's going to spread until it is in one or, more likely outdoors, it soaks into the soil. Where it won't shock anyone.

Again: The effect isn't worth the bomb dampening, let alone the cost of the golem. And I highly doubt that you can fit such a thin shell over a bomb while still keeping the presence of the bomb subtle. Oh, and isn't sending a weak little combatant into the middle of the enemies a bit...suspicious?

Here's the thing...I don't have a favored type of tactic. I'm a bit more defensive than offensive, but that doesn't really come into play much here.
What do I go with? What works. The golem thing, these other ideas, they aren't really worth the effort and cost.

Yes, because water is ALWAYS the best direction to attack from! They won't go around to avoid making noise, losing mobility, and getting their feet wet! Because the gnolls who are attacking us are functionally retarded!
Yeah. I don't see it.

[Alexandria]

I'll show you some time when I have a chance. I already made the puddle twice. It won't spread unless I want it to.

[GreatWyrmGold]

And why is that? Either you've permanently screwed up that water, or you're still applying magic to it--magic that could, with minimal additional effort, be channeled instead to a single powerful wave.

[sjm9876]

Another example. Plant a big bomb in a small golem. Prepare the golem so it can move first next turn. Charge in. The enemy will have no idea until the boom allowing you to pick a large cluster and wipe it out in a way they wont expect.

I already proposed this a while ago actually - well, a golem made of explosives, but still. Once I've got the materials I was going to do this anyway, so yeah. Explosions



Also, I have no idea how much progress to do for rolls. I could probably manage searching for ingredients etc, but I'm not sure on house progress, so I'll just do the rolls and leave that down to San.

[Alexandria]

Your golem has given me an idea. But I need Sanure to find out if it would be possible or not.

[GiglameshDespair]

You could strap one of your summons with huge amounts of explosives and have them suicide bomb your enemies.

They'd go back to their stone and regenerate the next day or whatever.

This would work if you were amoral. Or if your summons were under the direct control of the same individual as your character.

[Alexandria]

Yeah except if I start ordering my summons to commit suicide it won't go well none of them would do it.

Wolf carrying a bomb inside a golem was a stretch but he had the speed to do it and escape.

[kj1225]

The mere thought causes them to shut down the forums out of spite.

[Alexandria]

Oh Kj on the off chance you missed it.

Alma speaks Gnollish. So yeah.

[kj1225]

I know.

[sjm9876]

Ok, I'm probably not going to roll unless a couple of pages build up, as I don't really trust my judgement on the matter.
If the post rate suddenly surges, then for building I'll probably make rolls but not describe, as i have no idea how fast San wants us to be.

[Sanure]

I'll do turns tomorrow. Just got back from out of town.

[Sanure]

Turns been posted.
