Alright than. I'll also have Satori get the necessary information out of Zaad and get ready to play Mission control.

Alright. No problem, if there's anything else let me know.

*Snickers* This is going to be fun.

Don't laugh too much, I'm sending Alaira after Mack-attack. Let's see what bringing a big stupid Ultra demon does for the war-effort.

[Lucius Cypher]

Normally I don't get too involved with the others schemes, but I'll tell you this Free; the demon in the Infirmary could be kept at bay with the help of some of the runes from it's healers, but unless someone with strong elemental magic comes along, those runes won't keep the demon at bay for long. Wouldn't sit well with Alaria to know that she failed to protect that precious baby twice, would it? But that is, ultimately, up to you.

[Freeshooter92]

The problem is I don't think I can get there on time. The part I hate? I could already be at the infirmary if it weren't for crossark plopping Alaira in the dining room for a one-off mention in a post that ddn't even concern her at all without my consent.

[Fallenreaper]

To give you an idea of how bad it is in the collab: Mar's currently being burned and attempted to be digested. (Due to her being only being Vitamancy and mainly physical combat, I have to find her something she can actually take on or people are going to think she sucks at combat... :/ ) Locas and Aramir are still suffering from Blood Loss so unlikely they will be much help and while I have Sam and about five runes, Fire, Earth, Wind, Electro, and Water. Not forgetting one healing rune for wounds. To add on top of it, Lyn was almost crushed as it was earlier when Mar thrashed instinctive... Thank god Althalus was fast. :P

[Freeshooter92]

Can I just teleport? Seriously, I never wanted her to be in the goddamn dining hall. But Crossark made it so and now there's an enemy seemingly tailor-made for Alaira...

I understand and my suggestion... I have a way to solve this, Val has a teleport Rune that Alaira can borrow and that should speed Alaira's arrive up. Now that's solved, I think it will best to mention this so everyone knows:

To everyone- I know we all can get into the story but when it comes to placement and movement of other PCs not your own, just don't. Leave it vague, ask OOC (not PMs cause I want to know they have given permission) or even better, don't mention unless priorly stated in their posts.

@Konan: I added the bit about Leith dashing by in Xeric's post before our collab, but you might want to mention you asked me to on the OOC so I'm not breaking my own rules.

-add on:

As for that tailor made enemy, he could end up being caught in the magic? :p This might allow a little Daisy, Alaira, and Mar teamwork in the infirmary?

I'm sure you could make it before too long. I just suggested you head there instead of facing Rtron's villain simply because I created the demon on your behalf. You'd get there just in time for an epic save... I think. Honestly I'm not exactly involved in that business aside from placing the demon there, so you may need to consult with Fallen to get the timing down.

My suggestion is for stalling the demon would be trying to have Althalus keep it occupied with his magic/runes. I don't know if Sam's runes will be enough to kill the demon, so you may want to save them for when the demon is weaken. Althalus can damage/distract it with Decay magic if he is capable of it. While it won't kill the demon due to it's own natural regeneration, it will keep it focused on Athalus. Do good, but don't do great. Play keep away, make it look like Althalus is on the rope, make him an easy kill. Of course this isn't the case, but it'll buy you time for Alaria to make an appearance. After that, teamwork, teamwork, and it'll be dead. And than you may want to figure out what to do with the other demons around the infirmary.

[WitchChild]

YEEEEEEEEEES!!! My old PC is fixed up. It is working like a dream. The differences between the this one and the one I borrowed leaves me flabbergasted.

[Lucius Cypher]

Awesome, now go kill that Masked Demon. I got stuff to clean.

[WitchChild]

My pleasure.
XD It's so weird getting used to the much larger screen and keyboard.

Indeed, Althalus could possibly buy enough time to allow Alaira to get there either by teleport rune or her own power. However the damage results for Mar will likely depend on a few things:

A) How quickly Althalus reacts to separate Mar, in the collab, from the creature's grasp.
b) How soon Alaira gets there, longer time then more damage.

Likely only half as strong as normal magic at an intermediate level, though he could crank out enough for low advance. Doing that will end up breaking it after 3 usages though and make that rune useless. Currently Althalus has Lyn, but with Mar in its grasp and not doing well, it's unlikely it will get after Lyn right now until Mar's devoured. Though we might be able to push him back into the main room for more leg room.

Don't mind Grey everyone, he's just gotta fight the invincible-est entity in the whole place alone, with some asshole skeleton thing blowing fear-smog his way...

Don't worry, Uicle's coming you big baby. :p

[Freeshooter92]

Uicle might also notice that Grey is very much a Golem, and he might be wondering how a golem that could pass for a human was around for six months without him noticing.

[Lucius Cypher]

Well, if we're talking about surprises, Grey might just suddenly figure out that Lucilia is a Vampire...

[Freeshooter92]

And if we're gonna keep doing dramatic revelations, as it turns out Alaira is actually [REDACTED]

[Lucius Cypher]

Madly in love and wants to bear the children of Tyrael? He's still pretty irate about the whole "Cuddles" thing.

[Freeshooter92]

She can't bear children! Goddamn...

[Lucius Cypher]

Just left Tyrael spend about an hour or two. He'll fix her right up.
