Dungeon 14 Turn 46
————
The party charges after Botanya. Kamau absorbs the attacks of the two dragon riders, while Ricki, Macadamia, and the pets work together to defeat the rider on the front line, despite the salveshell’s healing boost, at the cost of a tyrant fang.
Kamau manages to block all damage… but he fails to avoid being grabbed off the ground by a long, slimy tongue descending from above! A previously-invisible reptile appears on the ceiling, shedding bright light throughout the room. Kamau is now held in place up above, where he is unable to protect the party, or to benefit from or direct his little mushroom pet!
During the confusion, Botanya slips past and pulls the lever near the wall.
Plan: **** hit the fan
Kamau: switch your two def rings for your two attack rings. Attack the holy lizard. Go for the tong
Mac: move back, under the chest area and throw your shocktail at holy dragon. Switch your ring of attack with a silver ring of defence.
Botania: lift Ricki up and hold her up high so she can attack the holy dragon.
Ricki: attack the holy dragon with a fang powered swiftblade
Plant: attack rider.
Unknown enemy stats with no interpose option. We are in trouble. We gotta pray targetting and DMG works in our favor.
*Edit* added plant attack as a distraction hopefully.
The dragon rider is showing 7 Atk (3 Base + 2 Spear + 2 Mounted) before rings and this plan puts Botanya at 6 def right next to him. She debuffs him to 6 Atk, but if he has like, a Silver Atk ring like all the other Dragon Riders, we burn 2 remorse. If anything even slightly goes wrong beyond that then we fully remorse Kamau.
The current party page shows Botonya at 11 def, enough to handle double silver rings of aggression. Where are you getting 6?
If she is lifting Ricki up she’ll have to stow her torch and shield. At least I imagine, based on every other time a character has had to lift another one up. And with action simultaneity I dont think Botanya could just lower Ricki back down and re-equip her shield to avoid risk.
Would Mac drop the ring of attack in this case? Do we need to specify that?
There should be a free slot on golly
Ricki: Equip the Death Dagger and stab the Life Dragon Rider with it.
Kamau: Equip your Atk Rings and attack the Geicovenant with your hilt. Aim for the tongue.
Botanya: Give Mac some uppies to the chest ledge. Return to the life dragon and provide debuffs.
Macadamia: Unequip your +3 Atk Ring and equip another +2 Def Ring. Use your Atlatl and throw the shocktail at the Holy Dragon.
#45: Keep absolutely still. Its vision is based on movement.
Ricki attacking the earth rider is our attempt to distract the turtle from healing the holy dragon. If the distraction works, then that’s like 8 DMG not negated which would be helpful
I assumed that the main point was that Ricki can’t reach the chamaeleon if Botonya is helping Mac get out melee range, and the turtle regenerates without needing to target itself. If the turtle targets the rider that’s a nice bonus but if not softening up the rider is still the only way I see Ricki contributing (while minimizing the risk of remorse).
Ricki has the option of throwing the dagger with a fang as well
Might be a good idea to have Mac drop his attack ring on that ledge before throwing the spear and switch to his defense ring. We don’t know what else the holy dragon can do and 3 defense is pitiful.
Kamau: lick it back
I’m looking at Botanya at this picture, and I wonder, are those green vapors that escape from turtle’s back flammable? Hopefully not. Might be bad for Botanya’s sanity.
