Well will you look at that! It's a three-way tie.

[WillowLuman]

Now it's a tie between VIT and STR.

[Wimopy]

I can offer a tiebreaker. I voted for spending one point, but if I had to choose, I would spend on vitality.

Of course, you probably can't check I'm telling the truth about my vote, but regardless, it's there.
Or we can wait for another vote.

[WillowLuman]

I'll give it a little longer, but it looks like 2 for VIT, then.

[sal880612m]

I voted for vitality back when it was a three way. Prefer one point there for now save the other for something else.

[WillowLuman]

Edited the poll. I've gotten most of the drawings for the next one finished, just waiting on this.

[WillowLuman]

Looks like vitality has won! Update to commence shortly!

[WillowLuman]

This is very bad. I cannot remember the parameters I used to calculate scaling. Also, strength pulled ahead in the poll after I drew the picture, but I can alter it if need be.

EDIT: But through the magics of MATH, I have re-discovered them! Gods, my algebra is rusty. I'll make a table for this shit, then we can get back to business...

Expect the larger update sometime between now and Sunday night.

[WillowLuman]

Had to cut this one in half. Certain recent distractions made me forget things. Next one will be bigger.



You definitely feel better. Let the end of the world come, then. You survived being stabbed in the gut. You can take whatever is thrown at you!

Having seen the power of this curious box with your oars, you decide to see how far it will go, as you figure you should grab everything you can from this world if it's going to end soon. You head back into the other room, past the strange figure, and try to pick up the Chandelier. Unfortunately, it seems almost too heavy to lift easily, as you can't get your fingers under it. You try instead pressing the open box against it, but it just doesn't seem to fit. Finally, you try putting the chain through, and it falls in. With a little help from you, it pulls the chandelier upright, and wedges lengthwise against the open box. Somehow, with a great strain, the entire thing disappears into the box.

Spoiler: Dwarven Chandelier (click to show/hide)

A tremendously heavy steel chandelier. Could severely crush in the right circumstances A very strange thing to wield, and one would need extraordinary strength to do so. Its open center would make it a poor shield against smaller opponents. One wonders what technique would even be used to wield it.

Bash damage:
80+9

Damage resistance:
95% physical
100% fire

Scaling:
-Strength:C
-Dexterity: D

Requires 30 STR, 10 DEX

Condition: 293/300

That strange business done, you walk around the edges of the room, searching for any more potential goodies to disappear into the weird box that could potentially be useful wherever you're headed. Sadly, there's not so much as a loose rock to be found, so you return to the apparition.
"I'm ready now, I think."

"Good. Now jump into Hell."

[~Neri]

...Wat.

Explain.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

And just like that, the moment's spell snaps, rationality's piercing cry swells up from the deep and our reverie cracks.
Don't move.
Look at the hole,
then look at the apparition expectantly.
"Seriously?"

Who the hell does this apparition think it is? Who does it think I am?! Momma The dwarven commune didn't raise no fool.
I'm not quite sure what's going on, but that thing kinda gets on my nerves.



(Don't suppose this could mess with the other half...)

[Wimopy]

Hell yeah! Jump down!

I mean, what's the worst that could happen, besides being crushed?

By the way, after seeing the kinds of items we come across, it might be worth practicing our misc. weapon skill. I have a feeling some of these random objects could be extremely useful. (The chandelier and the oars probably have the best range of all weapons bar actual ranged weapons)
And let's face it, it's far more dwarven/Fun with fight with a chandelier than real weapons (the pick is on or near the same level, but who knows how good it will be in the long run?)

I don't like this apparition either, but hey, what choice DO we have? Other than attacking it. And it looks incorporeal, so I don't think it'd work. In Dark Souls, you come across these kinds of ladies (not in spirit form), and your character automatically trusts them (yeah, I never got the point of the whole plot in DS), guess we just do the same here.
No second thoughts. It's for the best!
If none else, It is inevitable. I really see no other option in the end, even if we do question things.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Well, that's the fun- if it's inevitable, we make Hugo sweat a little and get a more interesting adventure-- by sticking around a few minutes we might see the world start collapsing, or the apparition will go scorpion on us and drag us in. Or we'll slip on the edge like a clutzoid.
Funfunfun.

I'm down for using the pick as a main and peppering in situational misc/throwing, training them up specifically if we get the chance, (small defenseless animals).

Btw, don't forget to hover over the underlined/shadow text for the 'abbreviation' I put on it. Those are her gut/subconscious feelings.

[Wimopy]

Right, then let's make the apparition sweat ectoplasm!
"Like Hell I'm jumping down a glowing hole!"

Yes, I'm using Hell in these responses on purpose.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Soooo, other opinions? Bueller?
