I think our group smashing twenty to thirty guys needs to be toned down a little bit, they're a bunch of half-starved prisoners and everyone is exhausted from the escape so far.

If six pike men attacked the minotaur, would he really be justified in surviving?

I agree. In the dungeon, it's believable, to an extent. They can't bring like an entire army on us there, but even then, we were getting excessive. Additionally most of us have self inflicted ourselves with various injuries and debilitating effects, and have played that way. The minotaur is bordering on God mod. What injuries he describes do nothing, and he's basically killed an entire army on his own, while we're at kill counts under 10. I'm not saying all the guards need to be killing machines, and I understand we're all supposed to be above average power level, but we're all escaping from prison under fed, tired, thirsty, and wounded.

That's why we were supposed to have strengths and downfalls, super strength and super slow... or fast and agile but not much of a fighter... Most everyone, like Stefan said, has been keeping their kill counts moderately believable in consideration to their strengths... but in our condition and considering our weaknesses we listed things have to wear on us at some point. Like Hamster said, getting caught is the only understandable course of action when outnumbered by what back in those days would be considered a small army. Sparks soldiers could stand a fighting chance but a bunch of half starved and badly wounded prisoners with bare minimum armor and weaponry... not so much... Thus the reason Aevah is stuck under a dead soldier and too weak to free herself. With Shorus set upon by so many guards... it's highly unlikely he'll make it back to the group alive unless the enemy soldiers think he is dead and are too distracted by Spark's attack to finish him off. Even still... the damage done would have to be pretty severe for them to think him dead.

Lovely post Spark, very nice.

Okay I see our rambotaur is causing some concern amongst the townsfolk. Let's see if we can rectify the problem, shall we?

The toning down of the death toll would be greatly appreciated, Mr. Steel, and I would urge everyone to take care in what kind of enemy they feel the group should face. In this instance, three hundred guards would have been a death sentence or a very laughable escape were it not for Spark's entrance into the RP... although thinking about it, I coulda just GM'd Mundhir's men I guess.

Anyway, back to the point, whilst this is a High Fantasy RP, we must try to keep things in scope. Realism applies as much as it can, and gravity is very much in effect. The bigger something is, the slower it moves unless altered by physics-defying forces (i.e magic). The more someone swings their weapon, the more exhausted they become. The more blood they lose, the weaker they get (especially mentally). The guards of Eblistan are not incompetent fools, and whilst the dungeon guards may have been the dregs, the City Watch are soldiers trained to kill. Murdering them by the dozens isn't going to cut it, not unless you can justify your actions rationally.

It doesn't matter though, as we've secured a logical escape. I just urge all players in future to take stock of what their character is doing, and to remember the facts of the situation.

I mean. I want to post about kyrtaar getting out in the sunlight, feelin good, and using his powers again, but I'm holding off on posting until we either come to the conclusion that the fight be left as it is, or toned down. I personally think the numbers should be toned down.

As for steel fist diversion, I kinda thought he meant he was going to stay in the dungeon, collapse a tunnel, and then follow us later. Not tear ass out of a wall into an army

Oh, we posted simultaneously haha. I'll work on a kyrtaar post soon.

Well, the alternative is for Freeform Democracy to play its part.

What'd you guys want to do?

Rewrite the jail break?

Or carry on and just be more cautious in future?

At this point, the damage is done, take it as a lesson learned, I suppose. Multiple people would have to rewrite their posts and it'd take a few days probably for each one to chain edit their post.

I agree, we can just play out this bit and be more mindful of numbers in the future... Damage done as Stefan said, waaaay too much work to go back and rewrite. Spark saved our asses, that's good enough. :)

I won't actually be able to post until tonight, but the synopsis is; Kyrtaar walks outside, absorbs sunlight for a few seconds, blasts some doods, and high tails it.

You're welcome, glad my post was appreciated.

I'm bored and there is no other RPs I'm interested in at the moment. >_<

Lol, all of the rps I'm in are at a pause so I'm kinda settin' here as well.

Yeah, I ponder starting my own RP on occasion but I don't have a great history of running RPs. They have only gotten better, but none of them have succeeded yet.

I'll see if I can get something up in an hour. Its really busy at my job right now so it might take a bit

Aaaaaaaand now my thunbs hurt from typing lol it was a fun post to write tho so it was worth it XD

I'm gonna say that 9 is now definitely pooped. Too many wounds and too much energy spent. Poor guy is gonna just fall asleep as soon as he gets somewhere safe.

I got drunk can't post until.tomorrpw

WHAAAAAT? You mean to tell me you can't post while intoxicated? Those are the best kind of posts!!

Example:
At taht moment Stephan I mean Kytaar went all like... WOOSH and blues prints wuz like "how dare you, my pride and shit." So basically Kyzaars eyes got all green and shit and fucked him up. "The universe is like forever" he said to that guy... wait no he said-

Lol Rin
