Destroy the Godmodder: Acolyte! [JUST MOVED IN]

[Ninjatwist_]

I waited an extra day before updating because I was quite busy on Saturday evening and because of test-based drama. Don't expect this to be long- I have to wake up early and I need to get enough sleep to at least function.

5/15 mining +1 3nd372

+ender 2 i guess
I quickly sprint to the commander, crumble his bodyguards with a heavy slash, and ask him one last question before he dies.
"Do you feel blame? do you feel bad? do you feel walla-walla wolf kabob vantage?"
he proceeds to recieve a fresh shipment of 2937 wolf kabobs, which have above them a sniper on a high vantage, by whom he get shot twice, before a walaby whacks him silly, and a sudden gust of wind pushes the mountain for wolf kabobs into him, impaling him on the sticks and crushing him with meat.

Your attack deals 8 damage to the Mook Lieutenant! This is lethal enough to kill him!

Mook Lieutenant killed! I'm going to go through

Well then, I'll just wait patiently...

The Unforgiving Mech Suit (Equip): 2/25
The Staff of the Deathstriker of White (Weapon): 2/30

Charge assist to sunnyau

You charge your charges.

2/20 Thanos (entity)
8/10 golden gun (weapon
2/30 Infinity gantlet

​

I throw the rocket launcher, like a football, at a APC after launching a missile out of it at the strong one.

You deal 3 damage to both APCs!

CHARGES​

Pre-development: 1/10

ACTION​

A flash of light. A meat in the dark.
Two projectiles converge upon their mark.
A burning light. A frightening flash.
And the Lieutenant is brought unto ash.

The Lieutenant is dead, but that is a beautiful poem that I won't let go to waste. You deal 5 damage to both of the Lieutenant's bodyguards, more than enough to be lethal!

[Action]

I target the whole team of the Mook Bodyguards and the Mook Lietuenent, if they are not dead, all with my Staff of Ice. I shoot them thereafter.

I then move to the crafting table at the fort and tries to use the crafting table again.

Crafting:
Base Item: Inferno Stick
Paired Item: Staff of Ice
Base Item will enhance the damage of the crafted weapon
Paired Item will give its spectrum of attack to the Base Item
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
RESULTS:

Staff of Elements

Attack Buff: +2/+3

Skill:

Generation 1 Weapon - Staff

Manifestation - Elemental Magic
The wielder may use it to power attacks relating to magic of the elemental type.
(Manifestation: Wielder may use this item only if the Wielder's attack is of the same
type as the subtype stated in Manifestation.)

Channeler 3 25% - Magic
(Channeler X N: Wielder may prepare for an attack of its subtype for X number of posts,
in which the attack being prepared, will increase its power with all boosts and attack
damage accumulated and boosted for a maximum of N if it is fully charged up. The
wielder must announce the stage of the Channeling, and each charge must be played as
like a normal post would.)

Multiattack 2, 50% chance while attacking to change to Multiattack 3,
can be turned off for an additional +1 to 3 attack damage boost and Burning/Freezing 2
(Multiattack X: Select X entities in the same group to resolve damage against them.
If X is higher than the number of entities chosen,
randomly choose N more creatures in the same group to resolve the damage,
where N is the difference of X to the number of entities being chosen)
(Burning X: Afflicted entity lose X HP for X turns due to FIRE/HEAT damage)
(Freezing X: Afflicted entity lose X HP for X turns due to ICE/COLD damage)

Item/Creativity Change Ready.

I proceed to confirm if this crafting is legal or not. (GM, just want to ask if this crafting will yield this result. Just let me know what would happen if I tried to craft it this way. I want to know the result before I craft the weapon.) If the crafting would remain the same, I will craft it. If it needs a nerf, just pm me.

Sorry, it's really late for me, I'll have to process it tomorrow night. Sleep is important, especially with a tomorrow like mine.

You create a Staff of Elements! I've tweaked it to have the following stats:

Base Damage: +2, Attacks twice, 50% chance to attack 3 times, 25% chance to inflict either Burning or Freezing (1 damage over time)

If the mook leader still lives, I sit on his face; because well his right brain, it's being insane. so it needs to be crushed into mush. also his left brain needs to be put out of its misery. it's being insane because it's feeling wolf kabob vantage.
If it does not live, I plate some metals on the Apex' armor, repairing any dents that where created after its summoning, essentially healing it.

The Lieutenant is dead, so you heal the APEX. 2 HP restored!

Update to charges:

The Unforgiving Mech Suit (Equip): 3/25
The Staff of the Deathstriker of White (Weapon): 3/30

(+1 from sunnyau)

You charge your charges.

3/20 Thanos (entity)
9/10 golden gun (weapon
3/30 Infinity gantlet (A weapon not an attack)
I run up and grab the 2/20 club mook and proceed to use him as a club ageist the mook lieutenant if they are still alive, if not I punch the week hammer mook

Um, you can only have 2 charges open at once, so you'll have to cancel one of these charges.

The Mook Lieutenant and his bodyguard have all been slain.

I slash the highest health Mooks remaining with my Lightsaber; hoping that they'll panic and run as even their strongest members are being torn apart!
Healing Totem:11/10 +1 joe (Heals three AA players for 1HP/round. If all AA players are full health, then this is destroyed)
Mantle of the Force:9/20 +1 joe
+1 bognog

You deal 4 and 2 damage to the Well-Armored Sniper Mooks!

Healing Totem created!

[Post]

[Battle!]
Mythic, though very much late about it, readies the minecraftian swords, and points the wood sword at a Pistol Mook. Then they pounce, the blade igniting mid-leap, and crash down on the poor mook with enough force to break it. "Compatibility... oddly high." Maybe it was the square trees, or the type of wood?

[Servant]
The Vulture Knight Throws their hammer at an APC, then conjures another one.

21/30 - A Weapon? ...The shorter nights have definitely thrown me off schedule. Diurnal worlds are way too common for my liking.
12/30 - New Charge. Materials begin to show up in Mythic's inventory, cheao

+1 Tarhalindur

Because of your short-term charge attack, and because this attack is pretty nifty, you deal 12 damage to the Pistol Mook, smashing through it with the flaming blade!

I draw any Wary Soul under 6 health back into the gun.
Mantle of the Force:10/20
+1 sunnyau

Wary Souls have been summoned back into the HHHH! 10 Souls retrieved!

Thank you, ender2~
Taking the #1000 post.....
[Action]

I see if the mook had left. If they hadn't I use my newly crafted staff to shoot bolts of flame and ice to the nearby mook, scaring them away with the pain and heat of the bolts.

(Charge Unleashing: Finale - Weapon Charge)

The end is the beginning.
The start is a stop.
The death is reborn.

The ancient staff, made of tree bark wood, has a split on the top of the staff. In the split, a magical orb shining blue is held by magic and glows. I then hold the staff using both of my hands. The staff seems to recognize me and the orb then pulsates with yellow light. One order, then the orb pulsates with red light.

Good, it seems.

30/30 Finale (Unleashing!!)
30/30 Wave of Ds

Woah, I'm going to take quite some time to process this...

I'd be a lot less confusing for me if you labeled posts as "my last post" or something like it rather than by their post number.

Staff of Time created with the following stats:
Base Damage: +1, [Reverse Time: III] (Target heals for 25% of the damage it took last turn). That ability doesn't come free.

========[End-of-Turn Events]========

The Mooks hear the death rattle of their Lieutenant, having been slain by JOE's blade. Without the sudden presence of their leader, they immediately devolve into panic and disorder! Afraid of the enemy entities soon to tear them to bits, the Mooks turn and flee, scrambling for an escape in the failing APCs.

The last you see of the Mooks is them scrambling to get into their disheveled vehicles, which are bursting at the seams with passengers.

Episode complete!

I'll be coming out with a story post which details Persecles's arrival to your group. To save time, this story post won't have any pictures. In the mean time, why not socialize with JOE and Goldhero or make use of their stockpile? You could use their crafting table to upgrade your weapons and equipment!

Just a tip: Crafting a weapon/armor with another weapon or armor will have around the same effect as crafting it with a basic crafting material.

Major balance change coming in soon!
Items and creativity bonuses will be nerfed, but they can be used together now, so that one isn't necessarily a substitute for the other.
Plot Armor may be getting a rebalance, and Plot-important entities will also get some diversity added to their movepool.
Colored keywords for entities will now exist, which may limit how many are on the board at one time (especially fortifications).

These will get into the OP when this change occurs!

Thanks and stay tuned!

Oh yeah, new gameplay feature! Up to 3 allied entities above ORANGE HEALTH (40%) may accompany you to the next battlefield during an Episode transition. However, this will not apply to Act transitions. So far, this applies to the Tonbogiri, and I'll have to look if it affects anything else.

Alright, story post time, as promised! Any gameplay posts will be attended to tomorrow night, when I'll update the game's balance and EOTE.

<STORY POST>

After the Mooks fled, your stay at the friendly player's camp was quite brief. You crafted a few items and helped them rebuild some of the damage the Mooks did, cleaning up wreckage of the destroyed APC before moving on. As you finish crafting and bidding your farewells to the two friendly players, Persecles catches up to your party.

Persecles is significantly better for wear than when you met him. He has an ambitious grin on his face- he's probably eager to prove his worth against the Mooks. He has considerably more men in tow- he must have called for reinforcements after the encounter at the beach. Most noticeably, he has a new chestpiece- it'd be foolish to go into another battle wearing the plate that Plague's spear wrecked.

PERSECLES: Greetings again, my magnificent allies!
PERSECLES: I'm back in fighting shape, so I'm all set to deal with the Mook problem.
PERSECLES: I brought a larger detachment of my army to assist us, including crossbow units.

NINJATWIST_: Great to hear! I bet you'll do well against them, with your experience and all.

PERSECLES: I would like to prove you right.

NINJATWIST_: Have you gotten any useful information on where the Acolyte is? We're having some trouble finding him.

PERSECLES: My scouts recently spotted an outpost full of Mooks. We should raid it and see if they know of the Acolyte's plans.
PERSECLES: From his plans, we may be able to determine his whereabouts.

NINJATWIST_: Our plan's settled, then. We should head to the outpost as soon as possible and see if we can find where the Acolyte is.

PERSECLES: Excellent. I would be proud to put my army to good use against the Acolyte's underlings.

With that said, you and the Argynths march forward to the Mook outpost, ready to find the Acolyte once again.

Gameplay Post inbound!

========[End-of-Turn Events]========

You and Persecles' detachment have followed the Scouts' trail towards the Mook Outpost! You notice a low darkened wall around a group of buildings... and a lot of gunfire. The Scouts must have been spotted- the Mooks must be more mobilized than otherwise thought. You hear one calling to you from behind a hill he's using as cover.

ARGYNTH SCOUT: Thank the sea for your aid! You could not have come at a more helpful time. We're being fired upon!

Ninjatwist_ and Persecles ready their weapons. Looks like this fight's going to be immense. You have a lot of useful backup, though!

Ed the Undying and the Tonbogiri have come with you to this battle. I'd feel guilty if I didn't let Ed's resurrection ability proc.

Focus on maintaining the Mook problem while you charge up attacks and do chip damage to their outer perimeter to get a way in.
This will be hard without charged attacks, as Fortifications now take reduced damage by nature. How much is listed in their battlefield entry- usually around 50%. Charged attacks and certain types of weapons bypass this armor.

Balance change activated!
Many items have had their base damage nerfed, and multi-attack items will now give you a damage penalty to compensate for their abilities.
However, items and creativity can be used together, so make good use of it!

========[Sidequest Events]========

Now that the fighting is done, you can focus on your own pursuits. Perhaps look more into that Ankylosaur fossil?

Also, your crops are ready to be harvested!

====[The Battlefield]====
A flat savannah full of trees and tall grass. The Acolyte isn't anywhere to be seen, but there are plenty of Mooks in his place.
You have stumbled across a camp and its two attending players.
