Oh well. Not my fault if you want to forgo a free restoration of your spell uses. :teach:

Why is Boartz labeled as Zalant?

Because I fail at copy-pasting. :?
Fixed.

I haven't spent my AP yet...
Now it's upgrading time.
Anyway, I most likely take +3 HP and spend what's left.
How many AP do you charge for +1 Flame cluster use?
Or possibly I take a "retribution" skill that somehow raises the damage of all his attack spells by 1 for the rest of the battle for every 10 points of damage dealt to him or a barrier on him. This bonus is voluntary and applies only if Aranym considers it just and necessary.

If +1 damage for every 10 dmg absorbed is too uber, I'll change that to "raises one single spell's base Atk by 50% for one turn".
How many AP would which version take? How many for the first version if I set a limit that it can maximally result in a total bonus of +3?
I guess that in any case 70 AP wouldn't be enough. :?
(In any case, it would be useless if it doesn't work in this battle already.)

Also, an addition on Mercy:
When he kills an enemy, this makes him unable to attack anyone for the rest of the battle. [? AP]

I guess that using MLink this turn is okay. This paves the way for Zalant and me, then I will start burninating the vile usurper. And using Discharge on that wretched idol.

Boartz is one tanky tank. Well, he's a big bad boss, though...

Arianna should take off the bag and put it into inventory... we need every Avd we can get. Especially you as a healer.
Also, what about rubbing the blue - or at least the green - herb on Alyss' weapon? Clonks, would that do something?

And... Scroll reading is a minor action, isn't it? If it's the case, then I will also analyze Boartz.

I don't think two avoid will be much difference...

Either way, he'll die easy enough. Save the herbs.

Also, Boartz had better have some awesome loot.

Damage dealt to your aura barriers would be ignored for the purposes of calculating the bonus Atk, as that'd be too cheap. :?
105 AP for constant bonus Atk. 95 if it's capped at +3.
I'd prefer you not to take the second version.

Meh, I'm not a fan of taking negative abilities during the middle of the game in order to get bonus AP. You should've taken that ability at the beginning of the game instead.
octagon wrote:Boartz is one tanky tank. Well, he's a big bad boss, though...
Funny that you mention it, actually, as he doesn't even have the "boss" ability. :?
octagon wrote:Also, what about rubbing the blue - or at least the green - herb on Alyss' weapon? Clonks, would that do something?
No, the herbs don't contain enough poison to do anything this way. They need to be eaten directly to have a noticable effect.

Yes, a scroll is an item, so using scrolls is a minor action.

New idea:

Summon Sprite [x/1] [? AP]
Aranym invokes a manifestation of pure energy - a ball of light - to aid him in battle.
Sprite Stats wrote:4 HP
04 Atk (magical) | 100 Hit | 00 Crt
03 Def | 06 Res | Avd 50 | 15 CEv
Attacks:
Zap: Normal (magical) attack. Works against RES like a spell. Probably needs a better name.
Blinding Colors (x/3) No damage, 100 Hit, dazes enemy for 1 turn.
Flicker (x/4) The sprite wildly moves around. Avd+20 for 1 turn.
Spoiler: Script
* Blind most dangerous enemy if uses are left
* Flicker if enemy prepares attack or if an enemy has more than 60% of squishing it
* Zap

The sprite disappears again after battle. Aranym can dismiss it.


Surely takes a truckload of AP. Depending on the truck size I'll take it on Lvl 5.

I take the sword for the case that someone (re-)joins with a pure melee fighter or anything else that finds it useful - it might be also great for Alyss if we fight an enemy with wimpy Avd.

It can't be possible that Alyss didn't have any xp before the fight.
She already did 1 or 2 bandit battles with us before - I'm pretty sure she gains a level now! Please someone check the previous pages...

No, I trust Clonk better than myself. I'm sure I have 90.

@octagon: 250 AP, I guess.

She was lv2 with 50 XP before. She gained 40 XP from Boartz. That makes 90 XP in total. I don't think I'm missing anything, though feel free to double-check if you'd like to, of course.

Ah. Okay.

Somehow I had (incorrectly) thought that she would be still Lvl 1, which would be very very very strange.

250 AP... Well. I expected such.

How much without Flicker?
