((Ok, I made some baseline values for party damage and some other behind the scenes stats. This should be less painful now (for me at least
)
Oh also, I'm going to roll for non-damaging skills as well. But they are much more reliable than most skills, so unless you roll very high or low, it's not going to change the outcome))
"Ohh? We shall fight these, then."
Zertch attacks one of the creatures with his katana.
Back row! Attack!
The moment the clawmoles showed their faces, you were already in the process of attacking. Repeating the flourish you were trying to do last fight, you manage to pull it off this time, to a much better effect. You draw it from it's sheath and toss it forward. [8]In a flash you dash past it, grabbing it again and slicing at Clawmole 3.
Clawmole takes 11 damage.Shiloh raised his shield and smashed his sword's hilt against it to create a racket. "Attack me, you ssstupid monssstersss!"
Use Provoke!
[9]You get all up in the monsters' grill and call their mother terrible things. They don't seem happy about that. You brace yourself for any retaliation.
Shiloh threat up!The clawmoles aren't terribly fast, but their reactions are good. [8]One of the clawmoles anticipated Zertch's attack, and manages to catch him with a vicious swipe.
Zertch takes 18 damage. Another clawmole clearly took offense at Shiloh's antics and scratches repeatedly at him. [9]Shiloh deflects much of it with the shield, but takes some hits.
Shiloh takes 18 damageStill in the back; hold until someone is wounded and Heal them!
Zertch took a terrible hit and was bleeding badly. [7]You were ready for this and suffuse his wounds with powerful healing magic.
Zertch healed to full.Bianca heard the constant droning that the arbalist was spouting, and somehow though that she snapped. Whipping her Epee into the air, she gave a rousing shout. "The sooner we kill these, the sooner we can forget about what the Arbalist is talking about!"
Front row, attack order on front row.
You are wasting no time with this shit. [5]
"The sooner we kill these, the sooner we can forget about what the Arbalist is talking about!" It may have seemed like a simple order to most, but it was laced with word magic passed down through many royal families. This is the power to rule!
Shiloh, Dahne, and Bianca attack up!The last clawmole must have sensed the magic Bianca was using. It came after her while she was busy barking orders. [9]She is barely able to pull back as the claw attacks, but gets slashed across the legs.
Bianca takes 22 damage"At least these ones have claws." Dahne remarked as he assumed a fighting stance one again.
Front row. Attack!
You were a little disappointed at the last fight, but the promise of even greater challenges pushes you on. You hold your shield up and bring your spear ready behind you. When one of the clawmoles is distracted by Shiloh, you sneak an attack in. [7]You inflict a solid wound in the mole's chest before it recoils back.
Clawmole 2 takes 17 damage.Back row, shoot Clawmole... 3! With Heavy Shot!
"Ah, moles! In wonderful colors, no less! Greetings, moles. I am Maximus K. Mackay. You may not have heard of me - I am far better known in my hometown, which is to say I am known to a minor degree rather than completely unknown! Why, I [...]!"
Make sure to exposit richly beforehand.
You clear your throat and introduce yourself to the enemies. You need to make sure that they will never forget THE Maximus K. Mackay. You get partway through your exposition, but are a little insulted when they aren't as patient with you as you are with them. You casually load your arbalest with one of your special rounds.
'This should pack a punch to match their rudeness.' You think to yourself and fire at the rightmost clawmole. [10]You blast it away like it was tissue paper. Terribly good shot!
Clawmole 3 takes 31 damage and dies!Turn 2Enemies: Clawmole x 2 (#1 100% and #2 ~60%)
