Yeah, let's not get Tulipsparkles within stabbing range of our justifiability ticked off foe. Kite him.

[Shadestyle]

Doubleteam

[IronyOwl]

And so the tie dance begins.

[Powder Miner]

Tulip has absolutely no kiting capability, the guy has a pistol. You're actually risking her by not just teaming up and murderating him when you have a chance, especially with all of these insult points.

[IronyOwl]

There's no way a gingerbread gentleman with an explicit penalty to attacking females is going to shoot our female noncombatant instead of the mannerless cad that's been shooting back and has already taken out his two compatriots. And even if there was, that's still a much better deal than letting him do so in melee.

That's a dangerous position to take, considering they're named characters.  They could very well each be unique in their own way.

Tulip to melee, the awesome centaur retreats and shoots the closest

[LuckyKobold]

Give Tulip the new clothing , After the battle give her a sharpened twig and teach her basic dodging/blocking maneuvers.

"Good job so far Sir Blood Hoof, That sugary ruffian surely doesn't stand half a chance!"

Potentially, but it's still highly unlikely given everything we've seen so far. And my point about melee still stands.

Chapter 1: Frosted Beginnings

Turn 4

"Good job so far Sir Blood Hoof, That sugary ruffian surely doesn't stand half a chance!"

"I humbly accept your praise, good sir, and further posit that this ruffian's  odd's don't even match those of a snowball surviving in a fire realm!"

+2 Chemistry Between LuckyKobold and Sir Bloodhoof

Tulip to melee, the awesome centaur retreats and shoots the closest

".....gulp"

"I like your style fair dwarf! Watch me ruin this foul confection's day! I shall even slay this final cookie cur with my eyes closed!"

+2 Chemistry Between Urist and Sir Bloodhoof
-1 Chemistry Between Urist and Tulipsparkles


"...Shoot him with your eyes closed??? Why the blaizes would you do something stupid like that?"

"Because I know my lame, stupid, feminine, ugly, and infertile foe is dead! You hath not been incrementing his bonus damage counter, which tells that you do not expect the battle to reach his turn. Ergo, the die has already been cast, and his ticket to hell punched!"

"Wait, WHA-"


"Fine. You got me.... *ahem* Tulipsparkles charges into battle, ready to thwak the last remaining baddie with her baton, only to be beaten to the punch by an Arrow fired blind by our metagaming hero! The projectile strikes the hostile gingerbread man right in the dead center of his body!"

The final foe abruptly crumbles into a handful of good sized chunks!

"Huzzah! We are victorious Tulipsparkles!"

"...Yay!?"


"Indeed, the day is won... for now... and to the victors go the spoils! Please vote on Tulipsparkles new ability. I have also added the dungeon map, so you may also feel free to pick the next room that the party visits! I'd ask about splitting up the inventory, but right now nothing is so heavy that Sir Bloodhoof can't haul it all himself."

Empty the marshmellows from the 2 shot and 3 shot left pistols and see if they can also be used as food, TulipSparkles can take Novice healer and can wear the Necklace of lights as well as take the other loaded pistol as her ranged weapon, use new gained ability to heal Sir bubbles twice, don't you think a permenant debuff for a simple piece of food is a but much but I guess I can understand it aaaannnd did this encounter count as a room for the purposes of food?

[Cheesecake]

For Tulip: Get Fey Trickery. We can use it to bring an otherwise out of range enemy in range, or an enemy in melee range out of melee range. Reward her the Necklace of Lights and the T-shirt for her bravery and swift defeat to her baked foe.

As for Bloodhoof: See if the GM will allow us to find a way to melt all three candy rapiers a bit and sort of stick them all on top of each other like a lance. We are literally half-horse. And a knight. It just seems fitting.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

But that's only twice per dungeon, plus, having a healer no matter how small is a big improvement, she is not designed for combat or being anywhere near an enemy when it becomes their turn.
Mabye we could use a flame arrow to melt them, though it would probably be a bit wasteful to do so.

[Cheesecake]

Using one arrow to make a weapon that can skewer potentially tens of times the number of enemies one arrow would have killed is a good deal.

1 HP isn't a lot. We're better off finding an actual healer or getting some potions. Fey Trickery amends her frailty by letting her escape when needed. As a two-person party with a skilled bowman our tactic should be to disperse enemies and pick them off one by one, using our mobility and anti-range armor class to move across the battlefield and dodge enemy attacks. Tulip, as a clean slate, should be built around that tactic. Control over the battlefield is control over choosing the victor and the loser.

That's just my idea. But I do agree we should get some healing capability soon.

[Shadestyle]

Combine the rapier and the Gun, repeat with the other two pairs respectively, Have tulip equip all three at the same time, one for each hand, and a final one Hanging from her pinkie/belt when appropriate.
