Well fuck me, one update they're immortal the next they're made of pottery and ash what the hell do you want me to do.

Think about it! Their resistances and weaknesses have NEVER changed. They have stayed identical between updates (as far as I remember). Think about past encounters.

Sword slash: Didn't work
Sword stab: didn't work
Bullet (Which penetrates): didn't work
Tire Iron bash: Did work.

THINK!

[Dermonster]

Oh, they're weak to blunt damage?

Well that.

Kinda invalidates most of my weapons.

... I *do* have a crowbar.

Time to go full gordan freeman I guess.


Sorry for being abrasive. I shouldn't have lashed out for my own misinformation.

I thought it was a bullet that hurt them.

[Beirus]

((They did get hurt by bullets, back during the Showdown kn Little Corpse Town.))

[Devastator]

((I know you don't want to take the forefront, but at this point I am wondering if you're going to help, or simply intended on letting us all get killed first before taking the wizard for yourself.))

[Egan_BW]

((If something is resistant to being pierced, shooting it with a bullet will instead transfer a great deal of blunt damage. Unless the bullet makes a small hole and then continues through, which I don't think is what's being described here.))

[Beirus]

((You said you didn't want my help, so I figured I'd try and help a little by distracting the wizard. It's a work in progress, and I didn't realize he apparently has a multi-track mind.))

[piecewise]

I thought it was a bullet that hurt them.

Damn. Well, it really shouldn't have. But if it did before, it should have this time too.

Alright, let me real quick reroll....

...
..
.
Eh, I'm gonna call it a "You killed them all" turn because you killed most of them and wounded a few, but I don't want to spend another turn just finishing them off.


So, clearly this charge in thing is still drawing attention. Keep with it?

He screams again, and this time shoots at the children themselves. He hits one in the shoulder and its white flesh shatters like porcelain. Its arm is blown completely off, creating a jagged stump, and revealing a hollow inside packed with ash.

Marcus pulls out his oversized revolver and takes a single good shot at the headless child. The bullet pierces dead center through the child's back and blows out through his chest like a grenade. The child stands there for a moment, frozen, before it tumbles over and breaks like fragile china.  Alanna follows suit, putting a round straight into the remaining child's pelvis. Its lower body shatters but its upper body continues to crawl forward on its remaining arm.

Both updates where we fought kids, we used both guns and melee weapons to great effect.

((Should we assume from now on that guns don't work, or do they just not have that immunity now due to it being the primary method we've used during both confrontations?))

Sigh will continue following Fleyshius closely, frantically trying to watch everywhere that isn't ahead at once.
