[OOC] Overlord: Momento Mori

[Stern Algorithm]

Wait, besides Salem and Violet, who else actually obeyed orders and went to the Climax Hour?

@Stern Algorithm

Chuunitrixx, Mamoru, and Charme were not given the direct order in any fashion by Graft, so they were under no obligation to follow it. Bone Daddy was already on scene. I assume Talim does as he pleases, and that's Light's whole M.O.

Graft seemed prepared to do something, the real Mamoru is out, as are Ashara, Gromgard, Lord Chompy Bits, Kaldorna, Zouyu, and Isolde is currently as statue as stone as emotionally adept as she is.

I think that's everyone's locations.

So, probably Violet, Salem, and Flan retreated.

Mamoru at least used a panacea on Rodias to try and undo the petrification, though that was mostly a gamble since Mamoru has no idea what the nature of the status effect is. In my mind Panaceas are good against things like magical poisons and venoms, but a Medusa’s petrification May be more of a curse effect in which case Panacea won’t work. But she tried to help Rodias save himself! Asi she’s gunna die so might as well use what is left of her life force to slow down Morgan.

Also honestly while Mamoru heard Rodias’s orders, she elected to ignore it specifically because she thought it was a bad idea for him to meet this person alone.

Kath and Charme are in the city, so they couldn't obey the command to go to the Climax Hour even if they wanted.
Gromgard, Ashara and LCB are fighting our GM's personified avatar, so they can't go there either.

I'm sure all the minor NPCs are headed there though. At least the Shadowtower Shrine Maidens are, as are the golems of the COIN.

EDIT:

Hey, Isolde tried to be clever! Not her fault she's not good at deception! :<

[Enkryption]

Chuunitrixx just used her power of big, fuck-off bullets and sneak attacks.

[Enkryption]

@Xaltwind

I jest. XD

Isolde can't help she's a Charisma Score of 0. XP

[Xaltwind]

YOU DON'T NEED CHARISMA TO BE ADORABLE! D:

[Enkryption]

It helps. XD

[Xaltwind]

Shush you! :T

On another note; Are medusae weak to cold? I mean, they're sort of kinda related to snakes?

[Lugubrious]

It's not that Graft just decided to deprive those three. He doesn't know which Mamoru is the real one, only that there are so many that he would max out Open Line and cause himself mana burn before reaching them all, so he contacted none of them in favor of making sure everyone else got one. He knows that Charme's domain blocks skills like Open Line and didn't know she was out, so he didn't try contacting her. And since Open Line only works on those who are explicitly (not just technically) his allies, which in the New World is a culmination of several mental considerations and factors both giving and receiving, he couldn't contact Chuunitrixx.

Tabula and Papillary are also following orders and going to Climax Hour.

[Enkryption]

@Lugubrious

I don't mean that in absolutes. But, I did account for Graft sending messengers to look for those he couldn't actively reach. It's just the small details and nitpicks. No harm.

I'm not posting since I don't know anything about power scales or anything. Are we talking DBZ stuff where this person is first form freza and we're at best Vegeta before the ginyus or what? IE, no matter what, even going for pure crits, nothing happens. Or is this more hunter hunter, where critical hits actually still matter, just good luck getting them. Or is this like WoW, 5e, or what?

Knowing that will help me make a post that is more than 4 lines long.

Although I guess I have an idea for a post then, since shes distracted that wont rely too much on this.

[Lucius Cypher]

I think the fact that we don't know is the point of why this current conflict is so important. I'll admit I was expecting us to curbstomp anything in the new world, but with recent events in mind I think it's best if we consider that we are not the mightest beings on this realm and plan accordingly. The fact we lack intel on Morgan is just as much of a problem as her immediate presence.

[Archmage MC]

aand that should work. Ms. Tickles is on the case!

@Archmage MC

It seems like you had Light save Rodias from his couch. Were you aware Talim has already attempted to spirit Rodias away?

[IceHeart]

@Archmage MC Ya unfortunately that last post really clashes with what I already made Talim do, what you can do is change it so she can help with the extraction process, maybe a little support from below or something. I would hate for Talim to lose his grip and have Rodias shatter his stony legs into a million pieces. :) Or else just join in the subjugation if you want, just can't use that post as is since it completely ignores what Talim is doing.

[Archmage MC]

@IceHeart Sorry, I must've misread something. I'll edit it.

And edited, thanks for letting me know. I'm pretty lightheaded right now so yeah.

[The Irish Tree]

I'll be getting a post up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

[Xaltwind]

Yes.... Make the angry Medusa even angrier by tickling AND making her go insane... Like she wasn't a complete psychopath before, this will surely help us! 8D
[/sarcasm]

So, am I the only one concerned about the repercussions and possible negative impacts this might have for the Chateau after the fight? Not only are we beating up on a level 100, who has confirmed to be in league with at least one other player - who is most likely also a very high level since she follows him - but everyone fighting Morgan is also using flashy and loud skills. I'm fairly sure that if the citizens of Amberden hadn't paid attention to the suddenly-appeared Castle on their mountain, they're probably gonna notice it now... xD

@Xaltwind

I mean, yes and no. I can't speak for anyone else, but, I can sorta align everyone's actions under the same ideal: Morgan incited a PvP Raid on Chateau Gothika, and a declared War against Bandersnatch. As such, all the Floor Guardians and Facility managers, present, have assembled to do their jobs -- however, with the new ability to deny their Primary Objective of "Defend My Zone". Instead of protocol telling them to protect their Chapter or Facility, they can band together, and confront the issue at the door -- literally.

As to the actions taken to do that, well... Chuunitrixx is an Magical Artillery Battery compressed into Sniper -- nothing about her is quiet, because she was built to nuke positions and players/bosses while hiding in a sniper's nest somewhere. Bone Daddy is a Lv10 Necromancer and Lv15 Skeleton Mage, and is holding a position with magic that isn't subtle by its own dark nature. Mamoru as a Aggro Tank, has a significant presence that she has to maintain, and, most Taunt/Aggro Attacks for a Tank are flashy as fuck.

So, it's less a situation of "why are we doing this this wat," but "we can only do this this way," as we are burdened by our characters and their build.

PS: @Lucius Cypher, Bone Daddy's Total Level is 50, not 35.
