PS: Adding to the above. You have a better chance against such a big target inside of/around the ruins than in an open field. Limiting his mobility may as well save you from a lot of pain.

Actually.....we could do that..... Regina's vessel, if she ambushes, causes an explosion upon impact. And earlier Leblanc mentioned something about restraining explosives to Natus.

Also what are defenders? They are all panicking and deciding discretion is the better part of valor.

Possible. She could feasibly get off constant sneak attacks if other explosions and stuff draw it's attention.

That can work. No reason not to try I guess.

@KoL
Also, a general question for the GMs: how do you want us to resolve hits and damage? Do you want to determine whether our characters' weapons or attacks or whatever make a dent on the thing or just want us to acknowledge that it has regenerative powers and can eat our characters for breakfast, lunch and dinner, possibly snack, if it hits? And while I am at it, do you want to resolve whether the thing hits our characters or not?

Like always, most of the combat is left to your common sense. You can call your attacks, in a target this big and relatively slow, pretty much all of them will hit, we will just have the final say in case anything becomes complicated. As for being, hit or not, it's up to you as well. That is, unless your characters get themselves in a situation where they literally can't avoid any attacks, then we expect you to honestly have them be hit.

We will only use or GM prerogative to call the result of things when it's really important for the story in one way or another. Otherwise, everything follows the usual rules.

Well, fire would actually work against anything that regenerates in theory since it would kill the new flesh as it regenerates, so long as the fire does more damage than the creature can regenerate. However, I somehow doubt that the demon thing would care about being on fire.

Also, not sure if I brought this up, but my character name is Natus, not Natsu. One of my tricks for creating names is just translating word into Latin, and his name translates into "Rhythm End."

Isn't this statement quite a bit contradictory?

If it needs to do more damage then the creature can regenerate, anything would do the trick, not just fire.

I think what Leotamer means is it will do constant damage over time, negating the regeneration effect and possibly even overpowering it.

I get it, but even then, it doesn't need to be fire to do that. Anything that dishes out more damage than a creature can regenerate will overpower their regeneration.

Fire is particularly useful because it kills new cells as they regenerate. While I guess you could just keep stabbing it until it dies, it isn't as elegant.

Yeah. Also do note fire is really deadly and can go both ways. Maybe even set the forest on fire but honestly who cares about that if the forest is full of monsters anyway?!

I would just like to point out this is a bloodthirsty monster spawned of the darkness seeping from a tattoo, and is most certainly a magical creation of some sort? Expecting things to work by the surety of realities rules in regards to cells and the perceived effectiveness of fire is something of a wasted effort.

In short, fire is not the answer you think it to be.

Eh, is this a conjecture of an actual plan or a random talk? Because it certainly looks like the later.

And, anything that fire can do to anyone's cells, lightning and corrosives can as well. Just telling you. Either way, as long as this is fantasy, only things explicitly said to cut someone's regeneration will do so, kinda D&D-like style.

For this instance, this creature's regeneration can't be dealt with at all. You'll find why's that in the following main event. You can kill it, but it'll take a bit of work because of this.

A hard victory is more accomplishing, after all. Am I right?

In short, the best plan is to run away as fast as you can.

Got it.

I agree. It's why I said poison because of Leblanc's weapons, which would achieve the same end potentially.

Since she uses extreme close range weapons, fire would tend to preclude any meaningful contribution outside of throwing detritus and debris at the monster.

Though if she linked up with Szeren then she could take the paralyzing poison and use it on her crossbow. Even if it only makes a limb sluggish, it would still make targeting and debilitating it easier to overcome if it wasn't rampaging like a Deathclaw.

Yeah, Leblanc would burn to death if fire was used and anyone going for melee would just be burned to a crisp if they did not have fire immunity.

That's a good idea.

On another note I did notice that when it went rampaging it essentially lost the support of it's mooks. I have a theory as to what this thing was: An experiment. If it could be controlled on the field of battle it would have been very deadly indeed, but it seemed to have lost control and that's where an experiment such as this would fail. Can't use something if it will destroy your own guys.

What's up with you people and attacking others' ankles?

Is that a new fetish I haven't heard about yet?
