Can you give me the result of the action if Aiv were to push his weapon in front of Orpheus? Should be big enough to act as cover against the pew-pew device.

Ah, hitting two birds with one stone, I like it.

With your character's ability, and considering that he had a chance to recover some stamina, doing something like that in the nick of time is simple enough. Though Aiv would take a form of recoil from the blast, as a result. A big recoil. Imagine a point-blank shotgun to the face kinda recoil. It's gonna hurt too, like a lot. He'll be taking a chunk of shrapnel somewhere. I'll let you determine the place yourself.

Won't do anything as of now, but accumulate enough of these minor injuries, and things will start to look pretty grim.

Yo, Ryu, got a different question. The arm-blades and other weapons of the ghouls, are they dropped when they die? Or do they sorta disappear when their users are turned to pulp?

The only thing of value I can see you picking up would be the Lanterns, but I doubt any will survive the end of this encounter. Though, i won't say it's impossible to acquire one of these things, or fix them back to usable shape somewhere along.

EDIT: OH. You meant the guns too. Haha, dunno why I forgot about those... sure, why not.

With any luck I'll be getting a post up tomorrow morning. Apologies for the delaaaay~

I'm having a hard time keeping track of things here, and I still can't claim to have mustered up the gusto to develop my char further. I think it's only best for me to bow out and not stress about keeping pace. Sorry, guys.

@Aristo I apologize for our rapid pace going forward. As the GM, I can't help but feel like it was failure on my end, regardless if it this something that had been warned about in the beginning. Even so, I am happy you told us about leaving at all. I was afraid you'd just disappear, as so many others surely would've gone that route.

You have my utmost respect, and I hope you best of luck in the future.

@RyuShura Question, how close are the enemies at the moment?

@Rune_Alchemist The atrium is pretty large, but I can imagine you peeps getting from one side to the other in one post and still do something.

@RyuShura

Aaah...I worded that question wrong. Note to self. Don't ask questions right after waking up.

Like
How closely are they grouped together. Because whip-sword can probably at least take care of a few of them in one go if they're standing anywhere near each other.

From what the IC states, the two that just arrived should be fairly close together, due to just leaving the fog shrouded entrance and stopping to point a gun at the white haired duo.

Oh. Then your weapon can easily smash them, if that's what you're asking. It's not the reach that is the issue in regards to your weapon, but controlling it in a *safe* way during a full attack.

Also, does anyone know where @Zombehs went? I'm a little worried for them in a genuine way. Are they okay? I also don't want to leave them too far behind because of a sickness or school or anything.

@RyuShura

I'm more or less trying to decide how viable it would be just to have Isabella just run up and make the largest horizontal arc she can with the blade, as strong as she can swing it, in an effort to KO/Injure as many of them as she can at once - or at least significantly cut down their number to a point the others should be able to easily deal with it.

So I'm asking about how closely the enemies are grouped together - basically how many she'd be able to take out with a swing - and would Isabella be able to tell that herself? Or would the fog obscure all the enemies numbers aside from the lanterns? I suppose it would also rather depend on how long the blade whip was as well.

Dangerous, yes, but fairly effective if it'd work.

basically, would Isabella be able to tell how closely grouped together the enemies and shadows beyond this 'veil' were grouped together?

Gah, I really need to get better at asking these sorts of questions.

@Rune_Alchemist OH. No, it's quite hard to tell from within the smoke how many are left. There might be a dozen? There might be even two, who really knows. Maybe if someone had a certain magical power with eyes, they'd be able to tell you. ;^D

Seeing where the light is within the smoke is easier than all the swarming shadows, I'd say.

All shenanigans aside, if you wanted to take them all out at once, that'd be rather impossible too since they are stepping out from a corridor. Even with a horizontal swing, you'd be only able to hit the ones outside of the smoke without getting the blade stuck in the walls again. Based on that though, and how anytime anyone attacks into the corridor takes more than one thing out, you can assume they are bunched pretty closely. I say you can do like a stab and 'precision' hit one of the remaining lantern dudes if you want a more strategic option. Might even take a few others too as collateral too, with the destructive nature of these weapons.

I suppose you could also try to bring down the passageway too. But then you'd be missing out on the loots. Oh, the choices...

*sees this post line*

*looks at the post I was typing*

*sweats*

I'm the type of person who has a tendency to check every treasure chest even if I know there's a high probability of it being a mimic.

Do not tempt me with sweet loot xD
I can and will make horrible decisions.

Well alright.

Isabella does the latter option.

Lets see how well it works, I suppose.

Also, does anyone know where @Zombehs went? I'm a little worried for them in a genuine way. Are they okay? I also don't want to leave them too far behind because of a sickness or school or anything.

Nothing as important as either, but just a lack of desire to roleplay. I already missed the Thursday deadline I set for myself, so yeah...

Can we just like...NPC your character then?

And Rune, dunno if it's intentional, but you sorta ignored the entire shotgun scene that just happened.

@ERode

Was gonna write something.

but admittedly

I just got lazy because its ten at night and I've been up since like, six.

I'll add a little blurb about it, but I don't think it'll change the overall content of the post too much, other than detailing how much Isabella doesn't care for the blunderbuss or Aiv xD

More of a deal of how fucked your ears would be when such a sound goes off in an enclosed space, but yah, that's fair.
