A little while. At least a day or so.
I am super ready for this.
Why do I always have my character go unconscious at some point in RPs? It's this awkward time when I can't post anything.
"old Thunderspells."
I continually find myself impressed by your turn of phrase, Shisa.

So in sum, I subscribe more the the RP style of working things out IC instead of OOC. But that's a personal thing. I'd be fine with the other method if I knew about it before it happened in the IC for certain important plot points.
That being said, can we please move on from this deeply unpleasant conversation?

The general idea that I had going for the second group was that they would essentially go all-in and and start guerilla'ing guard groups as a diversion so the King would get pissed and send more men after them instead of Tahra as she gathers allies.
But again, to be honest, the only reason I did that was in response to the railroading, and Avad probably won't pull anything nearly like that out of his ass anymore. Again, he's more of a utility, crowd-control guy, so he doesn't do that a lot.

Yeah. In my mind, since he's so high up, Wledic is really, absurdly, obnoxiously skilled and strong. More than enough to 1vAll us, especially since there's still more guards behind him that didn't get murdled and Avad's down.
Oh, and one more thing: Avad didn't just overexert himself, he also shredded his eardrums. He's going to be almost entirely deaf for probably about two months, which is going to make things complicated.

So a brief overview of my magic: each mage has a specialization, one that usually broadens as they advance in skill. For example, Avad might have started as a lightning-only mage, then advanced from there. When casting a spell, one draws from a finite pool of energy that replenishes gradually over time and then speaks several words and draws a rune in the air, or more than one, depending on the power/focus, to direct the energy. More words can either equal more power, or more control. Both drain more energy.
The ability to use magic gives mages the ability to manipulate their energy, and thus they are able to store it, adding it to an object, almost entirely a prism. The reason it's usually a crystal is that the energy it takes to move power into an object is exponentially higher than the energy that is actually transferred, and crystals have the best ratio. The mage can then essentially use it as a battery of sorts. The stones, which have to be exceedingly high-quality to store six years' worth of energy, are then consumed, turning to dust.
That clear things up?
Also, I only killed the twenty-five standing next to the cart. I might not have made that clear enough. The thing about Avad is that his power is really front-loaded now that his stone is drained out. He uses his magic up, he can't do jack. So that burst of power is a one-time-per-battle thing, which, in a larger-scale fight, wouldn't make nearly as much of a difference.
