02:22:02 Devastator: will do ascent at some point this weekend.
04:31:39 Devastator: I love having Sessha around to explain new mechanics and such.
04:31:55 Devastator: I want to change stuff up in a fight? Sessha just blurts it out!

06:15:26 Devastator: oh, there was another who hit as hard as Sword Hero.
06:15:46 syv: The entire ASOS system is dead today
06:15:54 syv: So doing 100% manual reports.
06:16:40 syv: So actually have work today! Kinda. But I'm partly free.
06:16:50 syv: Backstab lizard makes sense.
06:17:18 syv: I was thinking about sword hero, and I had a thought; he did that damage _without_ any armor reduction.
06:17:48 syv: Which kinda makes it less impressive, because other things that have hit as hard were against armor.
06:18:04 syv: Though admittedly part of the power is the AP, but still.
06:18:37 Devastator: backstab lizard was higher level than that guy, anyway.
06:18:57 Devastator: that guy was more like the other fighter lizard, who had terrible, terrible rolls.
06:19:02 syv: By far the hardest hit from a level 8 :v
06:19:23 syv: What was his weapon level?
06:19:45 Devastator: probably pretty nice.
06:19:52 Devastator: I could see the guy having a [+5]
06:21:09 Devastator: nah, a +5 should hit for more than that.
06:21:55 syv: +5 would be quite something for a level 8
06:22:25 Devastator: In this battle it could happen.
06:22:34 Devastator: you're fighting randos, so some of them will be weird or mismatched.
06:24:19 Devastator: And you guys have had several opportunities to get a +5, if you'd went for them.
06:25:15 Devastator: adamantium bars in Mosral, and in Tulia down here.
06:25:26 Devastator: also you coulda gotten backstab greatswords real weapon.
06:26:40 Devastator: The big lockers in the vault also had chances of real equipment.
06:26:47 Devastator: could have reversed the looting order.
06:28:54 Devastator: just rolled for it. There was a piece of equipment there, +5, but it was for Sessha.
06:29:07 Devastator: who already has that.
06:30:20 Devastator: I'd have to invent new mechanics for that, but..
06:30:24 Devastator: could come up with something.
06:42:17 syv: Would've been worth a *lot* of money.
06:42:34 syv: It'd be ironic to get a +5 thief weapon by robbing a vault though.
06:45:44 Devastator: that said, the little ones did get you two mana potions.
06:54:53 syv: What would we actually get out of doing a second mission here?
06:55:40 Devastator: You could ask for something.
06:55:44 Devastator: but really, it's your call.
06:55:51 Devastator: right now you're helping keep the armies out.
06:56:35 syv: We ought to. While keeping Tulia in good shape is in our interest, staying alive is a higher priority. And having more mana potions could very well be influential on that.
06:57:15 Devastator: It's also the cause of the shortage.
06:58:23 Devastator: They stocked up on extras.
06:58:41 syv: -Definitely- asking for some then.
06:59:40 Devastator: Was wondering when you'd think of that.
07:00:08 syv: I was thinking of it when Willis used fireworks!
07:00:59 Devastator: Glad you included the exclamation point.
07:01:02 Devastator: sometimes I forget.
07:01:28 syv: It just escalated to "damn, we might have problems if they don't give us anything and we go on more missions" when you talked about doing a second for going fast.
07:01:40 Devastator: you won't do a full mission, you're not going THAT fast.
07:01:46 Devastator: you'll get a shot at a bonus fight.
07:01:54 Devastator: and a +1 on the roll for stomping that threat.
07:03:26 Devastator: there's too much stuff going on to get into the details of everything that's happening.
07:04:07 syv: If there's stuff going on it should be mentioned!
07:04:22 syv: Things that happen but don't have visible effects in a story are wasted things.
07:05:12 Devastator: I didn't know if you'd go low or high.
07:05:18 Devastator: I didn't know which sub-job you'd pick.
07:05:24 Devastator: and things are like super wide open.
07:05:36 Devastator: the plotting work is basically a list of two dozen plans, and they'll go down the list until they break in.
07:06:04 Devastator: If they all fail, they'll throw Spar, do some literal divine intervention, and shit goes biblical.
07:06:29 syv: ...After we get into the next act, can you show me the list of plans?
07:06:45 syv: Also I want to see shit go biblical.
07:07:02 syv: Do we have a real shot at that?
07:07:16 Devastator: If you force them to pull that off, it'll have serious long-term beneficial knock-on effects.
07:07:23 Devastator: assuming you don't die.
07:07:49 Devastator: You'll need to be very good, and be very lucky.
07:08:02 syv: Death does tend to outweigh long term beneficial effects
07:08:16 syv: Is this a kind of "Do well, but not TOO well" thing?
07:09:07 Devastator: I have no idea which plan you'd want to succeed.
07:09:19 Devastator: other than 'shit going biblical', is I think something you very much want to see.
07:09:37 Devastator: so I'm fine with putting that as a 'win' conditions.
07:10:00 syv: I am very eager to see more
07:11:55 Devastator: well, things will be chaos.
07:12:50 Devastator: I'll try to make it enjoyable.
07:18:56 Devastator: and no, it won't just be 20 fights end-to-end.
07:19:06 Devastator: although, in retrospect, I"m glad I had the one endurance fight.
07:19:15 Devastator: was a good mixup, now that there's more to compare it to.
