[OOC] The War of the Three

@KoL
Was the glacial burst also hitting the area directly around the leviathan? I was gonna try to grapple on it and was debating my favorite Shadow of the Colossus track for the theme music.

Whole Eta sector is whole Eta sector. I don't think my wording for that was ambiguous in anyway.

Basically, yes, it's summon ice around the Leviathan too. Also the Leviathan is still underwater, so no colossus climb just yet.

[Mega Birb]

I'll be posting tomorrow when I get home.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lucius Cypher There were underwater colossus battles.

@KoL I didn't know if he was worried about friendly fire and had to start the spell like, 10 or so feet away from himself to avoid crushing himself due to water expanding when it is turned to ice. But I guess he's really tough, my bad.

I'm heading to bed now, but before we get too far I just want to say that your characters triggered some of the traps. While some are things that would be pretty harmless, there are still a few regular explosive and electrical traps, which I think should harm Omega.

[Awesomoman64]

@Ryonara

Right. I'll edit accordingly tomorrow but for now I'm gonna have to sleep as well.

Edit: Added the traps going off.

So, there hasn't been anything going on for a bit IC, and I've got a funny idea. Just before the frozen burst, Miyu stabs leviathan. And then is frozen in place. And then the Leviathan moves out for Henry, which drags Miyu out of the ice towards Henry, and then she gets flopped into the "arena" made by Leviathan's coils, and you get to fight an incredibly dizzy Miyu.

Sound good?

@The 42nd Gecko

As long as you mind that a standard grade weapon won't do anything more then a pinprick to the Boss monster, you can do that. But it'll barely be able to penetrate the spaces between the snake's scales, mind you.

Also, it won't save Miyu from the Ice Burst, for your information, since only Henry is immune by being close to the flute, but the protection is only big enough for the user.

[TheWendil]

I should be posting here today.

@KoL

My calculations on how devastating the ice burst should be to someone in the water are generally resulting in two conclusions-

Either A: "The pressure is mostly relieved by ice expanding upwards, Miyu is fine, but trapped."
Or B: "The pressures are so intense (getting insane "the ice is now a metal" level pressures), Miyu is crushed to death instantly, because steel would behave like wet tissue paper at those pressures."
All dependent on how fast the icy burst is.

[Lucius Cypher]

Considering we're dealing with an epic level monster who is more akin to a natural disaster than a creature, it might be the B option. Probs another reason why you wouldn't want to deal with something like a Leviathan head on, or at least not where it's using it's magic to toss over ships and freeze the ocean solid.

@Lucius Cypher

In which case I'll have a really easy time roleplaying the next four update posts. :P

[Awesomoman64]

Since we're going into a boss battle (and it plays into my current strategy) I should probably explain a bit about Omega's charge shot ability.

As described the charge shot gives a damage boost to Omega's next attack and, in my mind at least, works as a sort of multiplier. But the trick is the fact that it gets more powerful the longer he charges it, meaning the effect stacks each time he uses it.

So say his base damage is like 75. Right now he's used charge once but didn't fire, that means the next shot from each revolver will be 75x2 (or 150x2 if he fire both simultaneously). Should he charge again though it will be 75x3 and so and so on.

Basically, the more he uses charge, the more dead he'll make things.

@floodtalon

So just making sure, Henry dodged the arrows right?

@TheWindel

Not if the arrows have the same hit boxes as Hanzo.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Awesomoman64 Hang on a second.. I'm in a mech, with a bunch of back ups I can call, my main ability is shields... I'm the dorito gremlin. O_o

@TheWindel

Yup.

@Awesomoman64

If that's the case then they'll hit people in Sector Alpha

@Flamelord@Awesomoman64

I forgot to add it in my post, but I added what happened with the bombs at the Altar. The trigger was the Altar activating, which puts whoever activated it in the deadzone for the bombs.

[TheWendil]

I don't know if people forgot about this, but it's come to my attention that not everyone may know the death rule. The rule is that if your character dies, you can bring them back after 4 posts. But you can't reenter the current battle taking place.
