Synopsis: /me  - Weakened Amulet of Protection - Artifact -  All of your Staying Items have a 30% chance to avoid affects to them. You decide to take the direct approach, putting your borrowed amulet around your neck and preparing your stilleto and shield. Then you walk slowly towards him, poised for battle. He slips to the side, pulls another hidden switch, and comes out armed with a wireframe surrounded by black mist. I admire your spirit, but the hard way will be your demise...prepare for the darkness. He jumps down from the pedestal and stands just feet in front of you. The time for action is now.

Notes: Your first true challenge in terms of fighting, and also the first elemental. Do not do anything until I've completed the battle post. Also, something I need to clarify: Stolen items will always go to the victor of the battle - the original owner will get it back upon win or the stealer will keep it upon win. Destroyed items, such as with Explosion, have a 50% chance to go back to the original owner (think of it as a chance to salvage pieces). Use this to your advantage. Options - Decision Phase: Fight the thief. Follow the directions on the incoming battle post. Shouldn't be as difficult as it looks.

Because I'm retarded, I forgot that to keep the pace during a battle, I actually have to be online, which I won't be in a few minutes. At least I got the main post of the round up, though. And more reason to do the rounds once I get home from school and not later at night.

Thief: Round: 17 Health: 55 Quanta: 105 - 50 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 Attack: 15 Defense: 25

Relevant Items: Armor: 1x Dusk Mantle (equipped)     You have a 50% for all attacks and effects to miss you. Scrolls: 6x Steal Scroll: 3      Steal target non-Pet item. Vanishing Items can only be picked by category and may not be affected. Food and Drink: 3x Gingerbread Squares      Heal target for up to 5 health. Miscellaneous: 1x Windsor's Documents 1x Thief's Papers

Actions: The Thief may use two of these per turn on you: Use [item] Attack [target] Defend Nelevitas may use two of these per turn on the thief: Use [item] Attack [target] Command [pet] Each person may choose two options per turn. When two options have each been chosen twice, a synopsis will be posted and then the process is repeated. Goal: Lower the thief's health to 5 or less, and avoid having your health lowered to zero. Upon Victory: Stolen Items (100%) Dusk Mantle (100%) 3x Steal Scrolls (50% each) Windsor's Papers (100%) Thief's Papers (100%)

You may now begin the battle.

Can I at least analyze what I've seen so far? I'm not suggesting anything!

[ddevans96]

Alright, battle post added to my reserve post above. Fire away now

EDIT: Also, mouse over the desc tags. I can't stress that enough, although not following what under them can be fixed easily, it would be annoying to repeat and fix over and over again.

Command Green Druid Attack The Thief
Attack The Thief

[ddevans96]

By the way, your pets can defend as well as attack. Just to note why commanding is relevant here.

[YoungSot]

Use Congeal Scroll on Dusk Mantle.
Attack Thief.

In that order specifically.

[Onizuka]

Use Congeal Scroll on Dusk Mantle.
Attack Thief.

In that order specifically.

[ddevans96]

For both personal and game reference, here's an example of some of the shorthand I write out and use before and during battles:

thief-action: rand(scroll, square, attack-druid, attack-ray1, attack-ray2, attack-nele, defend)
thief-ft: rand(prev-action, new-action, attack-nele)
- scroll: rand(steal, steal, steal, steal, steal, steal, firestorm)
- steal: rand(dagger, shield, sanc, scroll, fd, amulet)
- - scroll: rand(qs, heal, heal, mira, cong, plague)
- - fd: rand(gs, gs, fw)

thief-damage: rand(0, 2-6) - rand(1-3)
nele-damage: rand(0, 4-8) - rand(2-4)
ray-damage: rand(0-2) - rand(2-4)
druid-damage: rand(0-3) - rand(2-4)

You deftly pull out your Congeal scroll, and activate it. His dusk mantle is frosted over and drops to the ground. You then attack the thief, dealing 4 damage and healing 2 from your stilleto. He pulls out one of his own scrolls and activates it. moments later, he winds up with your explosion scroll in hand. He then attacks you, also dealing 4 damage. Your rays and druid all attack, but he deflects them all easily.

Nele: 35 health, -1 explosion scroll, -1 congeal scroll
Thief: 51 health,  +1 explosion scroll, congeal counter: 1

And with that, I'm not going to be able to do another round before I have to go to sleep. Luckily, I don't have school tomorrow and will probably be up early, so you shouldn't have to wait more than 10 hours.

Use Mutation Scroll on Thief's Explosion Scroll.
Attack The Thief.
In that order specifically. I don't want to risk actually losing our items (even with a percent chance to salvage) and we have a pretty good chance of getting more than enough PC back with Steal Scrolls when we win even if we lose our Explosion one.

P.S. Does destroying loot items affect our chances of getting them after the battle? (Say we had another Explosion and used it on the Dusk Mantle, would the percent salvage kick in?)

[Cel]

Command Green Druid to attack The Thief.
Attack The Thief.

[ddevans96]

Attack Thief is locked in as second action.

Say we had another Explosion and used it on the Dusk Mantle, would the percent salvage kick in?

Yes.

EDIT: Also note that if you mutate the explosion scroll, you'll get the new scroll back after the battle and not the explosion.
