Well, I have been living in Poland and had my attention monopolized by that - plus the complicated issue of being in love. So no time for forum games either. Just focusing tirelessly on ways to improve myself, secure more money, and do what I can to impress the adored damsel.

Yet when I come back, both of my favourite illustrated forum games are dead. Maybe, finally, I have to take this opportunity to grow up now.

:(

I love this game so much.

Anyway, actions: I feel like we should take this opportunity to ask Circuitrix some questions first, such as what's powering the Greens now that the Exchange has been removed?.

+1. Let's start with some simple exposition!

...While I try and remember what the hell was going on where we left off...

I think that's precisely why he is here - to harvest the tears that he waters the turnips with.
Delicious player tear-nips.

Just as an aside, I was able to take the down-time to enjoy many of the famous TWoOtA influences like OFF and Puella Magi Madoka Magica! What a fantastic ride that was!

I, ahhh... I used to think IronyOwn's avatar was such a cute and adorable little creature ;__;

Welcome back home, FFS! Not going back to ensure the safety, palatability and good curvature of next year's crop of turnips? By the way, I, errr, hope that wasn't your official monk garb.

Well, as for the characters, it looks like we found a cutie-trix!

I'll have to read everything later as I'm very busy with my super-serious indie game development project, but I'm sure I'll have a ton of suggestions. Or at least, I'm sure you guys will have concocted a swathe of suicidally dangerous suggestions for me to downvote.

Now, as far as concerns our little side-quest, I still really like the idea of luring a Sibling or other powerful human adversary to the room (this is an ancient and unspeakably powerful treasure, is it not? surely they'd take the bait) so that after the two of them have fought we can finish off the victor. I'm not particularly beholden to collecting that treasure though and like everyone I just want to encourage the game to get going again at a good pace. So we shall see what works best.

Fixed for you.
FallacyOfUrist, I am confused as to why you needed to make that fix. It wasn't one of FFS's codes! Want to step in and GM for us, if you think you can do a better job? ;D

Bemoan the time when the series went to pot and became so simplistic and for some godawful reason the people in Internationalization and Global Marketing decided to change your name from Dr. Muzaknik to... Eggo. (happened differently in our TWoOtA timeline, fortunately)

Do everything in your power to restore your name to Dr. Muzaknik.

Freeformschooler, that was a singular experience.

To say you made that in two days, the combat (perhaps because it's more chaotic) was a lot more involving than in OFF, which I couldn't stand (and it's a shame, because the concept was so great, but it basically wasn't even a game.)

I eagerly await the release of TWoOtABorn.

-1. T-T-T-Total Party Kill stopper!!!

Given the warnings we've had, I don't want so much as to wink seductively at it while it's asleep.

As an aside, if you do want a plan that involves getting cosy with the boss, one thing that could prove fruitful would be to combine Slog with that Outer Sucker Essence, and have him infiltrate the nest. Also, everyone loves stealth missions, and it would give us an actual use for the blorbly blighter.

My suggestion is still to bugger off the hell out of here.

That's quite a helpful tip.

But not an illborn. Illborn don't care for treasure, either. We'd need a human boss. (The plan rests on being able to tempt someone powerful to abandon their usual routine to come out all this way to the Outer Underside.)

Plus, generally speaking, I think we have fucked up straight-up diplomacy a few times too many, already. We need to try being a bit more scheming. Generally speaking.

Anyway, it's lovely to be back on Bay 12, but I'll be back at the next update. My own garden is looking a little overgrown with the gnarled turnips of neglected tasks. :(

Really, the sneakiest way to beat this boss I can think of would be to tell some other boss about some incredibly powerful, ancient treasure being guarded by a monster in the Outer Underside, then wait as the two of them duke it out, only to slay the victor while we have them off-guard. Nothing could go wrong with such a plan. Nothing.

Anyway, my real decision would be to support monk12's suggestion that we get back on track to clearing out the Skyship, but it might be entertaining to watch a few failed attempts at shenanigans first.

Fitting it through the door, presumably.
IronyOwl, I mean the entire boss room!

Hello, TWoOtA!

I loved the new updates.

Thanks for pulling through for us, FFS. I know how difficult it can be to keep your creative focus at a time when you're coping with a drastic change in lifestyle.

So, then. This treasure room, with its stylish brown-on-brown check pattern, looks like some kind of giant Louis Vuitton travel chest. Or the Dungeon's equivalent. I bet it's expensive. Plus the whole thing can't be difficult to dig loose.

Suggestion: What's stopping us from looting the entire treasure vault, without needing to open the door and confront the boss?

Quote from: RAM on December 29, 2015, 07:00:22 pm
Go back to the wall, clearly label(use blood if you can't find anything else) it as a dungeon room, and then activate The Asynchrony Catalyst...
+1. Yes!

Naw let's do this room first and then execute our plot-related shenanigans :/. -1.

I promise I won't forget to +1 the idea after the encounter! If you explain what you actually think is going to happen though.

I think the SP fountain should merely contain magic soap that washes off all magic buffs (that have been cast with SP).

And sorry, folks, I shall try to be more dramatically untimely with my future GENIUS suggestions. :(

That we're merely being "lied to" is certain, by now. The motive of Riltia's lying is what's worth worrying about.

If she wants to betray and kill us all, that's bad. Even if she turned on us right now, we'd be extremely lucky to escape without characters dying. If she turned on us in the middle of a tough combat, we'd be instantly doomed.

Remember, though, that Riltia herself tried to warn us that "no one is who you think they are". Hence for that reason I think her motives are not completely evil. She may have corrupt forces working on her, however - what with her "dream of great power" moment earlier - but even that may be her dissembling and somehow simply trying to present herself as evil.

Nobody ever found a way back up to DL1.
Clearly, we need to find the right square and then employ Magic Ladder Travel through the ceiling to get back up again!  :D

Anyone in favor of inputting some random values into the Catalyst and seeing what happens?
-1. We should try it, but not now - and not with random values. Let's not give FFS that cookie!

We need to get healed up. And we need prepare for the event that only the active party / only Cherish herself are transported.

Quote
Though have Ciro make a ranged weapon first and absorb the sword.
+1.

Also, have Cherish heal Riltia and Slog (who is in 1-hit-kill territory - well, with 4d4 attacks on the table, we all are, but especially Slog), put a Bulwark on Riltia, and, and... erm... give that tie to Al as well.

I want to see at least one more room of this hive before it becomes an impregnable fortress!

EDIT: Honestly... Why are we not giving each and every character mega-souped-up Bulwarks while abusing the SP fountain, each time before cheesing SP to super-maximum level?

Blast it, switch the Influx back to Proxxy.

While Rilitia is busy attacking.
+1
+1

+1
+1

Details of the procedure: We should probably have Riltia charge forth while Al sticks Druid's Bulwark on her.

EDIT: Actually a bad idea if she turns nasty. Thoughts?

If there's a chance in hell she can cast Locking Glass on the escaping Outer Slicer, then have her do that instead of attacking.

As for our other characters... I really think we oughtta be able to slaughter all the Outer Suckers in one go if everybody makes a basic melee attack - but the penalty for failing, with so many low HP characters up close to them, would be quite severe. I'll make some thorough probability checks and post back here.

Also! How much longer can we float for? That decides everything.
