Hmm, I don't know if posts are light because school's setting in, or because people expect to be finished this round. Regardless, let's see if we can finish the episode in this round!

FLAVOR​
"I think you have a point, GM. I'll activate the RESERVE function. Also, I had an attack in that post, it wasn't just fluff."
CHARGES​
[RESERVE] Gloople Nest (24/25): Deploying dropship...
ACTION​
Tarhalindur is angered at not having his attack counted. So much, in fact, that his anger (briefly) materializes into a physical form. In the Sniper Mook's head.
COMMENT​
Reserved charges will not be deployed until an appropriate time (like the next Act), chosen by the GM. This applies even if the charge finishes.

Gotcha, I'll let you know when an opportune time to use this is.

Oh, did I miss your attack? Sorry about that.

Oh, damn, it was a big one too. I'll make sure to compensate you generously!

You deal 12 damage to the Elite Sniper Rifle Mook! It collapses from the sheer force of anger and creativity behind the previous attack.

Although seriously though, really sorry about not having picked that good of an attack up the first time.

/NULLPOST/

I'm not sure if I've made it very clear, but the Flame Spirits, which I'm currently charging, will take advantage of Spirit Channeling, which is why I need it on the DStaff.

Gotcha, I'll look back and spot it. Spirit Channeling added!

I throw some dirty clothes at the Spear Mook.

You deal 4 damage to the Spear Mook!

13/30 the rainbow test (On scp-093) (This is a lot of paper work)
I use the Lightly Armored Sword Mook and the 3 health Heavily Armored Axe Mook and slam the 4 health Heavily Armored Axe Mook with the other 2

You deal a single point of damage to the Heavily Armored Axe Mook and another point of damage to the Lightly Armored Sword Mook! Armor got in the way of most of those collisions.

TUMS throws a Red Flashbang at the Axe Mooks, prioritizing higher HP targets.

I use my staff to overload the remaining Axe Mook.

+1 to ender 2

Saph, Spirit of the Blue Flame: 12/20

Oeor, Spirit of the Green Flame: 7/20

The UMS will do as you say.

You also deal 2 damage to the Well-Armored Axe Mook! Despite armor blocking most of the damage, this is still lethal!

I squirt hot pepper into the Spear Mook's Eyes.

You deal 4 damage to the Spear Mook! It also gets Blinded for the turn!

I conjure up a series of white charges that spiral around TUMS and provide it with healing.

Saph, Spirit of the Blue Flame: 13/20

Oeor, Spirit of the Green Flame: 8/20

You heal the Unforgiving Mech Suit by 4 HP!

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

Ninjatwist_ tries attacking one of the Heavily Armored Axe Mooks, but he only deals a single point of damage!

The Sand Golem continues tossing sand at the Heavily Armored Axe Mooks, blinding it and dealing 1 damage!
Espeon finishes off one of the Spear Mooks with Psychic for 6 lethal damage!

Major Persecles concusses one of the Heavily Armored Axe Mooks with his trident for 2 damage!
The Scouts pepper the Heavily Armored Axe Mooks for 1 damage each!

Vaporeon follows up on one of the Lightly Armored Sword Mooks, using Surf! Its armor can't save it from the 2 lethal damage it sustains!
Glaceon summons a Blizzard on the surviving Spear Mook for 6 lethal damage!
The Unforgiving Mech Suit uses Red Flashbang on the Heavily Armored Axe Mooks, killing one of them with an armor-piercing blow and dealing 2 damage to the others!

The Heavily Armored Axe Mooks deal 4 damage to Major Persecles! Not like it'd do much.
The Elite Sniper Mook cowers behind cover, while the other one shoots the Sand Golem, who dodges the shot!

The Spear Carriers easily finish off the remaining Heavily Armored Axe Mooks!
The Arbalests fire at and kill the retreating Sniper Mook for a large amount of more than 12 overkill damage!

With that, all of the opposing Mooks have been killed!

CONGRATULATIONS! You've escaped from the base with information about the Acolyte! I'm still doing art for the story post, so stay tuned!

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

Provided GoldHero returns, you can travel over to the Desert Ruins! Don't think about crafting additional stuff, though.

Also, the Mine Turtle has jammed.

Update complete!

We've completed pretty much everything I've set up to do in this Episode, you've killed every last Mook and found the information you need!

There's really not much reason to post, although if you want to chat amonst yourselves or welcome new members that's fine by me. I'll be trying to get art up for the update, but school might hamper me.

Oh yeah, just some info- the next chapter's going to be creativity-based rather than charge and entity based, so stay tuned.

Stay tuned for the upcoming story post and new gameplay segments!
 
"Oh. Greetings."
"Acolyte."
"I've waited for this for a long time."
"I think we all have."
--
"Darkness, darkness."
"A void in the blue."
"I see all with naught repercussion."
"They challenge what they call the Acolyte."
"He is a fool. He cannot even hope to attain the power of a
Bluespace Master."
"But I suppose we will just have to see."
 
"Wait the Lightly Armored Sword Mook is dead so does that mean i get to eat the banana??"
I munch on the banana.

Progress update!

Art has taken a lot more time than I'm comfortable with. I managed to get the first piece finished, but the second one's going to be a while off. I'm hoping I can finish it by next Sunday, with next Wednesday as a stretch date. A story post should follow soon after. Unfortunately, life and a cold have been catching up to me, so I've been confined to a sink for some today. I hope I can feel better tomorrow so I can get these pictures up as soon as I can.

Sorry I haven't been in touch with you guys, and stay tuned.
 
I have completed the art!

I didn't make the stretch date, unfortunately. It took me just one more day to get everything I needed to done. A lot of other work didn't help matters. However, I have finihed the artwork- I have to wake up early to something tomorrow, so I can't put up a story post just yet. I'll be sure to get on it tomorrow, however.

Stay tuned for story and gameplay posts over the weekend!
 
This was way too long of a wait. Hopefully this update is worth it... it might be small, but admittedly I need to get my act together.

<STORY POST>

After the tumultuous battle at the Mook Outpost, the Argynth soldiers come in a mighty flood to relieve Persecles's task force, surrounding the breached Outpost and cutting off the hapless surviving Mooks inside. Rather than protract their plight, the remnant of the Mook battalion surrenders- they'd rather be prisoners of war than dead. The cavalry absconds from the fortification with their bounty.

As the reinforcements disperse from the ransacked and empty outpost, Persecles and a scout examine a Mook tablet, struggling to understand how it works- or how to extract the precious information they spent so much time and blood trying to get.

pmG5NIo.png


PERSECLES: Scout, what does this read?
SCOUT: I'm not sure, unfortunately. I never knew our foes were this advanced...
PERSECLES: I'm sure we'll have to fight them again, and these devices might be common. If we can't decipher this technology, we'll be fighting them blind and deaf.
SCOUT: Do you think it'd be wise to ask a prisoner? They would be acquainted with the device.
PERSECLES: Presently, I doubt there's a need. We're just on the cusp on this breakthrough.
SCOUT: I think I've got something here...
PERSECLES: What would that be?
SCOUT: I just have to drag my finger across this area...
SCOUT: It appears to be a set of coordinates... to the location of some Acolyte...
SCOUT: It states... +372 meters N, +638 meters E...

PERSECLES: Excellent, that'll do. Keep it for later, learn its every facet, and instruct our men in its use.
PERSECLES: Oh, and to make sure they actually learn from you, I'm promoting you to Sergeant.

SCOUT: Promoting me?
PERSECLES: You extracted this vital information, so I'm sure in the eyes of the bureaucracy you're worthy of one. I want to make sure my men respect you enough to heed your teachings- learning this enemy tech is too important to reject.
SCOUT: You have my humble gratitude. I will honor this gift, Major.
PERSECLES: Appreciated. Mastering this device is your next task. Those prisoners might help- they'd likely know this technology. Stay out of combat for the time being. Dismissed, Sergeant.
SCOUT: It shall be done, Major.


The recently-promoted scout hurries off, eager to crack the secrets of the Mook tablet and put his new promotion to good use. Persecles addresses you and your fellow players next:

PERSECLES: It is imperative that you go ahead at once. I doubt I could handle the Acolyte safely, despite my ability.
PERSECLES: I'll stay with my unit and ask for further reinforcements. We're likely to need them.
PERSECLES: Remember: 372 meters North, 638 meters East. Strike the Acolyte before he flees. I await meeting you there once I gather reinforcements.
PERSECLES: If this battle forewarns of heavier Mook resistance the further we go, it would be wise to summon a stronger detachment.


With Persecles staying behind, you trek ahead, eager to catch sight of your old foe. Persecles exchanges honest, yet hopeful farewells with each other. You feel the air getting hotter and drier as you progress…

</EPISODE 2>
<EPISODE 3>
<EPISODE title="Opportunity">


The Acolyte sits away, typing leisurely at a device of his own.

J1l7RRY.png


--- godlyAdept [GA] started pestering crucifixionTerminated [CT] at ██:██:██ ---

GA: I’m back.
CT: Good- are things alright?
GA: I managed to get away from them- for now.
GA: I can feel them approaching, though.
GA: I don’t have much more time.

CT: Is there anything you need me to do?
GA: Good thing you asked.
GA: Belial, I’m sending you to another world. There’s a set of people there who are obstacles in my planning. They haven’t taken being pushed around by Mooks all that well.
GA: Silence them as you will.
GA: I have other things to do, though, so I won’t be there to help you out.


XApE1cl.png


CT: Destroy them… without your guidance?
CT: Are you sure I can handle it?

GA: I’m completely sure. If you need help, I’ll be sending someone else over.
GA: Until then, you’re on your own.

CT: But-

--- godlyAdept [GA] ceased pestering crucifixionTerminated [CT] at ██:██:██ ---


The Acolyte then closes his device and stands, waiting for something to break the empty desert wind.

Your footsteps crunch under you as you march through the sand. When you see the Acolyte from the crest of the hill, he’s oddly standing in your direction, as if he expected you… a smug grin grows on his face.

Regardless of his demeanor, you’ve got him right where you want him. Make this count.

</STORY POST>

Yeah, that's what I have. Hopefully it's acceptable! I'd love to do a gameplay post right now, but I have more to do and I really should get some sleep.

Gameplay post goes out tomorrow!
 
Gameplay post is emerging!

I know this is quite late, but I can wake up late tomorrow. Post as quickly as you can so I can make sure you're still there!

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

Ninjatwist_, the Guardian Crystal, and the Repaired Autocannon have caught up to this fight- other entities either stayed behind for plot reasons or had too little health to continue.

The Acolyte appears somewhat worse for wear since the fight at the Mook Outpost- his life force is somehow still attached to his forces'.

The Acolyte has also placed some Curses on you to focus your attention on him and away from entity spawning!

Get cracking! Only truly creative attacks will work against the Acolyte!

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


Provided GoldHero returns, you can travel over to the Desert Ruins! Don't think about crafting additional stuff, though.

Also, the Mine Turtle has jammed.

ACTION​
I reach over to your gameplay post, grab the "Battlefield]===", and use it as a sword. I then run up to the Acolyte with my text sword. The Acolyte prepares to dodge, of course, at which point I jump off of his head and attack his health bar.
 
Reserves:
Saph, Spirit of the Blue Flame: 12/20
Oeor, Spirit of the Green Flame: 7/20

I close my eyes. Visions of glowing white... things dance across the lenses of my spectacles. I give off an ominous white glow.
