Dungeon 13 Turn 46
————
After trading some items around again, everyone leaves the secret room and returns to the main dungeon. Ricki squeezes through the hole in the wall.
Lara heads into the hallway under the bottom left room alone after throwing herself off a cliff on purpose to take 1 damage so her new armour can heal her for 3. She doesn’t do it while Ricki’s looking, though.
So, if we’re minmaxxing with the armor – would it be worth having Lara use a Arachnomamcer ability to activate Make It Count? Alternatively, if anyone remembers where that Deadly scroll was and it’s viable to get to, permanently enchanting a weapon with it?
Edit: Oh, the deadly scroll is right there. Nice. Now she just needs a weapon to put it on, if we’re going that route. Deadly Shocktail Javelin sounds pretty scary.
I never thought I’d say this, but, ciggies?
I really think deadly scroll should go to a longbow or another ranged weapon. It would help the (limited) ammo count and is a way to cheese enemies from a safe nest. Everybody loves cheese.
Spear is throwable, and seems to boomerang back (“regenerate”). Plus with the atlatl the damage is BS.
Though I could agree with choosing to have two good ranged weapons, rather than one utterly broken ranged weapon. There’s also the risk that the Regen wouldn’t keep the enchantment.
Trouble with using lara’s ability is that it brings her down from 6 to 1 hp, then healed to 4. then we’d need a turn to self harm down to 3 so she’s back at 6. Guard patrol could come down any moment and screw us. Not only that, LSN threatened (jokingly?) that self harm fall DMG now has a 10% chance to do 10 unblockable. I just don’t want to push his patience with us more than we already have
So we would lose 2hp in exchange for gaining a permanent enchantment, or 2 attack?
Woups! Didn’t specify we wanted wands with the holster so my bad. It will just cost us another turn to fix.
Not going to peek at patrol since if they do spot Ricki they might send that damn pigeon before we can do anything about it. Best option is to group up and move 1 room at a time towards patrol when we are ready (as in, we’ve fixed inventory and picked up all the loot we want)
Ricki: Kite the rats around the room and flip the lever. Move through the LEFT hole back down to Cordy.
Cordy: Drop the used wand of heal and the Wand of Venom. Move left and pick up the staff and Scroll.
Amad: Eat a piece of meat
Lara: Move Right
Lara isn’t grabbing the staff? Why’d we have her go there?
I think it was just to see the patrol?
Where did those guys go?? >.<
Its possible they haven’t defeated the bats yet. Bats have a 70% dodge chance in the dark and the Justiciar wouldn’t fire holy bolts until turn 44 which would only lower the Bat’s dodge chance to 30%.
https://tinyurl.com/dungeoneyes-map got updated with a new(ish) feature! It has layers now so you can hide different parts of the map. Feel free to tell me how bad it is and how much you hate it
Not going to happen. This is awesome Combat!
Just Claudious’ plan plus Lara read the note we missed
Ricki: Kite the rats around the room and flip the lever. Move through the LEFT hole back down to Cordy.
Cordy: Drop the used wand of heal and the Wand of Venom. Move left and pick up the staff and Scroll.
Amad: Eat a piece of meat
Lara: Unequip armor(for +1 move) and equip tower shield. Move right. Move left to read note by the red pipe. End turn at the right edge of the room.
While I agree with Sick that the patrol is most likely still fighting bats, it’s also possible that they’re under the entrance hall right now, in the little space with the two open chests. If they are, then they’ll find Lara next turn – I don’t think having her end the turn at the right edge of the room will prevent that, since she has to cross the room first to read the note.
That means we’d have to start fighting the patrol on T48 – but Cordy can’t get there till T49, so we’d have to take out the pigeon without our mushroom army. That is not a risk worth taking just to read a note we can read later when the patrol is knocked out.
No, I mean she is reading the note now as her action so she wont have to cross the room again after ending turn on the right. By un-equipping armor, she has the 2 MOV needed to reach the note without spending her action.
I remember reading that we know guard patrols only check out their line of sight from where they enter if its a new room for them so they cant find Lara next turn.
(I think that was Claudious? Claudious confirm plz)
Ricki can magic missile the pigeon for 0% miss if we really need to anyway.
The other plan has Cordy taking the same action, and so would be unavailable until 49. This plan just doesn’t waste Lara’s action.
