Also, RNG, why am I still Degenerating when KineseN's spirit apparently cured me of it?

Woops, my bad.

[Virroken]

If healing salves do stuff for broken bones, dump salve on Kilakan. If not, generate a frozen burst inside of one of Moloch's gaping foot wounds.If not, moar stasis, because support class is best class. Also, because RNG said so.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

They're not gaping holes in so much as small cuts. Aarchan's dagger can cut through Moloch's armor like paper, but it's still a dagger versus a 60-foot tall humanoid; each individual attack only damages him a small amount. Those attacks will add up over time though, assuming you can find a way to stop his regeneration.

As far as fighting Moloch himself, well... Very few of you can actually damage him(I think Aarchan is the only one who has succeeded so far), and for those few who can hurt him staying alive long enough to kill Moloch may be an issue. For the others, working either to impair Moloch or protect your allies is probably the best bet. Virroken has tried to do this several times, but the dice haven't favored him so far. All things considered, it certainly is possible to defeat him at your current power level, though since he can also one-hit kill most of you a few bad dice rolls could make things very messy.

Just be glad I decided not to give Moloch summoning abilities like I originally planned; then you would be really screwed.

Suggestion: If that dagger can cut through the armor, stop trying to inflict injury and instead tear it apart, opening a hole that the others can strike through. Better yet, get inside his armor and start randomly stabbing.

Oh, so it's not as bad as I feared.

Nobody likes a wuss, RNG.

I did cut a hole in his leg armor, he just stomped on me before I could cut more.
So someone wanna take the dagger, and attempt to kill him?

[Nirur Torir]

My skeleton will guard Aarchan.
If somebody takes Aarchan's dagger to strike our good friend Mr. Scary Guy, I will Hasten them.
If they don't, I will cast Protect on Aarchan.

[Tarran]

I can try after I drag you to safety.

[IronyOwl]

Hm. So do the pillars have a set of effects corresponding to a set of colors, or do they just channel/amplify magic in general, or what? How do I use one? "Do Blue on myself" or "Aegis Dunib through the pillar" or something else entirely?

I would but I like having bones.

The pillars have a set of effects depending on the color. So far we've seen:

Red/Purple - Unknown(This was the default color)'
Green - Degeneration
Blue - Reflect Magic

[Virroken]

Action changed, since cutting through a solid like paper doesn't leave space enough for a frozen burst to fit in. I guess these daggers weren't ordered from the Final Fantasy univarse.

Maybe pillar-degen on Moloch's wounds? I'm not sure the pillars are even powering Moloch's invincibility anymore. We might just be wasting turns hacking at otherwise harmless furniture.

I'm gonna continue with my roll-influencing support role, even if it means every action is MOAR STASIS/FROST/CHILL LAWL.

[IronyOwl]

I really want to degenerate him but I suspect it'll have no effect...

Eh, cackle maniacally and attempt to degenerate Moloch with the pillar anyway.

It'll be good to make sure.

[Tarran]

Hmm, Irony, how about changing the pillar white and using it on him? I have a feeling white=cold/ice/snow/blinding/some holy effect that might hurt him.

Maybe Red/Purple is regeneration. Or maybe it's energy regeneration, and he's healing himself with that energy he's getting from the pillars.

[IronyOwl]

Virroken's already got frost going, and I suspect a demon-forged pillar wouldn't have a "holy" setting. I could still try it if you think it might be a different type of frost or something, but I'd rather not waste turns seeing if it's got a chartreuse mode. Maybe I could tune it like a radio until it hit a valid color...

Good call on red/purple being regen, though- I suspected that was armor, but regen might make more sense. Only reason I'm not trying it out on allies is what heals a demon lord might not work on humans quite the same way. Well, that and he one-shots us, so gradually healing small amounts of damage isn't all that useful.

Of course, the more I think about it, the more certain I am degeneration isn't going to do anything, so maybe I should try something new regardless.

[KineseN]

Does my Purge decurse (which was my original intent) or does it only remove magical effects?

If Purge removes curses, Purge my black shard and get the dagger. Equip the dagger. Throw the shard into Molochs hole and Compression Bomb it.
If not, help Tarran drag Aarchan away and see if I can heal him.

Stone Spirit will heal Aarchan in either case.
