Dungeon 14 Turn 8
————
The mighty warriors dispatch the rotfang reptile with little difficulty. Like its incendiary counterpart, this creature is too precious to butcher, so only its collar can be claimed. The party also picks up a spear, a silver ring of aggression, and a silver ring of protection.
Those collars are annoying. Can they be targeted and destroyed during combat?
Actually, I think we kinda could have dealt with a few, but we can’t at this moment.
There was one skill at Ricky’s level up – steal item
Note that it allows to steal an item that is “worn or held”. IF we had this skill, we could ask Ricky to steal the collar from the beast in one turn, then follow with killing on next turn, and I guess that would do the trick since the beast would no longer be wearing the collar and would no longer be too cute to … hmm … process into useful things.
Skill description makes me wonder – if we fail that 50% chance, is the skill considered used up, or not yet – like Midas Gloves? I guess we won’t know until we try. Or I guess it’s used up, since Midas Gloves specifically says it isn’t.
Honestly worth trying I’d say (at least for something we’d otherwise not get or a good press item)
Give the spear to sue. If she can narrate she can fight
Here’s a quick summary of our characters:
Rickis attack is 8. Def 12
Mac’s attack is 8 ranged, 10 melee , 4 def (8 if we swap rings)
Kamaus attack is 9, def 12+ dodge
Plant does 3
Shrooms does 1
Daisy does 3
Botania has 12 def and has the light for others to see
Plant, Daisy and Kamau cannot see in dark
We’re trying to find an optimal attack vs attack 12 scorpion, 21 DMG to one shot.
What I want is to one shot scorpion and scout hole and room
huh? Sick told me in discord Daisy CAN see in the dark. Now I don’t know who to trust >.<
Honestly I don’t know. I don’t think we’ve ever seen Daisy or any dogs miss because of darkness but I assume they’d can’t until.l proven otherwise
Based on the 9 dog attacks (excluding daisy attacks) that we’ve seen in the dark that have all hit, I’m very very certain dogs can see in the dark. Or they can smell well enough in the dark to not care about the miss chance. (8 in Kobold Dungeon, starting page 5 ending page 11, and 1 in Armory Dungeon, Page 2).
Daisy also has a number of examples in the manor dungeon, like when she fought the Pet Master’s dodge boosted bat.
Also Amadeusz can’t see in the dark, but Wolf can. So yeah. Doggies can see in the dark.
Probably.
Option 1:
Kamau interpose
Ricki and Daisy attack Scorpion (11)
Mac attack scorpion in melee (10)
Botania scout down ladder
This one shots scorpion provided Daisy doesn’t have a miss chance. Also gets us eyes on new room.
I have an odd feeling looking at Sue here. It seems like she’s going to talk with the scorpion :/
Same as Claudious’ option 1 but Botanya spend an action in the room before scouting. Hopefully this mean her torch apply for the fight in case Daisy can’t see in the dark.
Kamau interpose
Ricki and Daisy attack Scorpion (11)
Mac attack scorpion in melee (10)
Mushie attack scorpion too just in case we fucked up math (1)
Botania talk to Sue. Ask about Sue’s abilities and drawbacks if she actually joined us as a party member. Then scout down ladder
