Planar Plights (The First Battle!)

[llamamiah]

Yeah, I guess Swampy is sort of a stats expert now??? I have no problem with this. Also, @Psychout: Because there are two similarly-Classed characters, it just means that if either get in, it'll only be one. So, we won't be having two buff-centric non-attackers, with one being the most. And if I think that there are some really good characters that could replace that type, then there might not be any buff-centric non-attackers. But whatever, it all depends on what happens next.

[swampmist1142]

Yes bro, yes I am a stats expert. Did you forget that I make 4th edition D&D chars. For fun?

[SupahKiven]

No prob. Though I do have to ask, why int when you have no attacking moves??? Also, nice call with the high speed. It'll surely be useful to debuff enemies, possibly multiple times, before they even get a turn!

For the Int, I was thinking that I might have at least one attack, and considering the character, those would probably be magical.

[llamamiah]

@Swampy: Ah, right. Forgot about that. I just meant stat expert in terms of this game.

@SupahKiven: Yes, I remember the class description stating something about having some attacks, and at least one weak healing move. :3

[llamamiah]

Oh gourd I feel like such a bad DM. :<

SIGN-UPS ARE CLOSED! I WILL BEGIN DESIGNING THE CHARACTER SHEETS FOR THE ACCEPTED CHARACTERS IMMEDIATELY!

Thank you for not complaining about how I was pretty much two hours late on this, I kind of went for a walk and got very lost and then dinner happened. :x

It'd be 54 minutes. You specified CST, so you get an extra hour opposed to CDT. And that's why I use GMT; nothing to get confused with.

[llamamiah]

Agh, derp, I didn't realize that I had that wrong. I'm not good with timezones. :<

Oh, and right when I opened KolourPaint, Ubuntu crashed. And I just now got it working again, but I still need to re-download KolourPaint. Goddangit.

[kabbage]

DANGIT!

Why do i ALWAYS have to find out about a great game only HOURS after it's signups closed!?!?

well, good luck to everyone else.

[llamamiah]

Don't worry, Kabbage! After a while, once a certain event occurs, there will be more Hero slots available! :3 (Of course, that won't be for quite a while, but still.)

Oh, and I've successfully completed three character sheets, which means that I have 2 more sheets to do, the Overworld sprites for all heroes, the in-battle sprites for all heroes, and the in-battle sprites for the first opponents. ...I still have a ways to go.

[Psychout]

So if there were 8 sign ups and only 5 people got in are you going to wait till you finish everything and then tell us who got in or can you tell us right now? :P

[llamamiah]

Oh, yeah, I was gonna wait till I finished everything, but it'd probably be easiest to just say here, and PM everyone that got in.

ACCEPTED PEOPLE!!!

swampmist1142, Supernerd, AProcrastinatingWriter, _goron_, SupahKiven

Let's give these five a big round of applause! (I'll send the PMs out soon, along with their Character Sheets.)

Yes! Yes, oh yes! My summoning worked! Quickly, we must prepare before -- Oh no. They are already here. You must engage in battle, Heroes!





It is now Itis's Turn, followed by Itis's Turn again.

[Supernerd]

Oh my. Guess that's what happens when I put most of my points into speed. I'll attack the topmost one with a normal attack for the first turn.

[llamamiah]

Itis teaches the topmost monster all about the joys of eating!



It's now Itis's turn, followed by Stretch's turn.



A Tip for Battle Commands:
Alright, here's something that would really help me out. When in battle, even if it isn't your turn, list your first two or three or (If you have really high speed) maybe even four actions! This'll allow me to make one big update instead of a bunch of tiny updates. Thanks for your help!

[Supernerd]

I'll use corrosive shot on the same enemy. (I'll set autocombat to normal attack the first one after that for the next few turns)

[SupahKiven]

Good tip, good tip. Anyway, for Stretch's first turn he attacks the bottom most guy with astonish, you know, so I can see how it works. For his second turn, he uses a regular attack on the same dude. Oh, and a question. If two people attack the same enemy, and the first person's attack kills the enemy, is the second attack redirected?

[AProcrastinatingWriter]

When my turn at last comes around, I'll use my Magic Bullet on one of the monsters with full HP, assuming there is one at that point. If not, I will normal-attack one at random.

[llamamiah]

@SupahKiven: Yep, the attack is redirected! I'll start up on the next update in an hour or two, because Swampy and _goron_ should be done with their 4th of July party by then, and therefore able to post. Also I just got back into Maplestory so that'll be eating up most of my time...

[swampmist1142]

Dude, we can't post today. Sorry ):

[llamamiah]

...So you could post saying you couldn't post, but couldn't post with your next couple actions? You could even post for _goron_ because he's with you, dude! I'm just really confused by this.

[swampmist1142]

Refrase: I can't post very much. Tired ):

[Supernerd]

I think that Swampy is trolling you. He should have at least posted a command for this turn.

[llamamiah]

Eh, whatever. He 'n' I go way back and mess with each other every five minutes, plus, he just had a roughly 8-hour long fourth of July party, so he might just be able to manage one sentence. I can make an update with the next couple actions, and then we should be A-OK.

[llamamiah]

Itis forgets everything his mother told him about spitting!



Stretch successfully Startles an opponent!



Itis decides to offer his work at the nonexistant soup kitchen!



Stretch displays the combat abilities of the party horn!

It is now Gary's turn, followed by Gnok.
