Tales of Battle - ghost-chat

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 10:32 PM

so considering that the rest of us here are dead and can't influence the game anymore, how are you getting re-spawned? a deal with a voodoo god? (edited)

i don't think they are referred as lohas, think that's the hawai esq once

ah no, the voodoo god's are referred to as loa's

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 10:42 PM

voodoo/hoodoo and lots of similar stuff have a looot of overlap like loas and whatnot

do you want the flavor description or the mechanic? xD

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 10:43 PM

the general works too but flavor would be nice to know considering how the good old baron like to play ^^

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 10:48 PM

flavorwise the idea is that Zamesi knows his way around the spirit realm and is able to enter and exit it quite regularly, so when the stars align hes able to escape back into the world of the living even when hes supposed to be dead

mechanically, i have a chance to give myself a 7-day "extra life" in this sense by reading tarot cards

Sooo assuming nobody wins within a day, yall have any good tips on how to kill that suit wearing juggernaut?

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 10:52 PM

Wait for old age to kick in.

Suri Kerrington 30-Jan-22 10:52 PM

@Cindurion How much are we allowed to say?

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 10:52 PM

Or lung cancer.

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 10:52 PM

You are allowed to say what you want, essentially, including lying

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 10:52 PM

(preferably not that last part though)

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 10:53 PM

Says you!

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 10:53 PM

He's just in the spirit world, conversing with his fellow dead spirits!

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 10:53 PM

But...

I'm technically not dead...?

Suri Kerrington 30-Jan-22 10:53 PM

But I'm not dead!

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 10:53 PM

Mostly...?

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 10:53 PM

It's not a perfect analogy

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 10:57 PM

so it’s sorta like you got a deal with samedi so that he can allow you to return to the living whitin a certain span of dayes after doing a ritual, i can dig it ^^

Suri Kerrington 30-Jan-22 10:57 PM

Walter has an anti-magic field. Stay away from it.

Don't get hit by grenades or sniper bullets.

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 10:58 PM

and as for killing walter, resurect me so i can summon my god and that’s how he dies ^^

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 10:58 PM

Yeah, kinda noticed xD

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 10:58 PM

Honestly, I would be weirdly onboard with you resurrecting Karl. Sounds like a fun time. xD

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 10:58 PM

Tell you what, sign a contract with me and I'll do just that!

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 10:58 PM

oh, and don’t try using any fancy smancy curses on me, i can dispell them, how did you think davey survived?

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 10:59 PM

Thanks again for that.

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 10:59 PM

Well, from what I understand you would still need a reeeeally good roll to do that again

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 10:59 PM

try me! the amount of nat 20’s i’ve gotten is ludicruz xD

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:00 PM

Sorry you never got your cannon balls btw, some asshole count seized them it seems x)

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 11:00 PM

Oh, fuck you I know it was you, you sneaky little bastard!

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 11:01 PM

I'm loving this chat way too much ^^

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 11:01 PM

Lies? I can forgive that. Murder? Of course. Betrayal? Unforgivable.

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:01 PM

the thing that was funny with davey was i got a nat 1 in identifying how much work was needed to get rid of the curse, then a nat 20 on dispelling it xD

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:01 PM

xD lmao, of course you did

Suri Kerrington 30-Jan-22 11:01 PM

As for more concrete advice, I could recommend not letting a potential ally get sniped and blown up by Walter. Would be real helpful having someone with great information gathering power helping you!

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:02 PM

Sure, in hindsight that mightve worked out better, but from where I was standing at the time it seemed better to just have you two fight each other and finish off the survivor

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:02 PM

here’s the deal with walter, his speciality is creating magic so all his gear is self created, hell he started fixing those grenades after his first failed attack on me, he has high and good acc and stealth too

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:03 PM

but since he has an antimagic field, shouldnt all his gear just.. not work then?

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:03 PM

no because the gear itself is not magic

he uses magic to create normal gear

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:03 PM

ahh, i see

Davey Bones 30-Jan-22 11:03 PM

Honestly genuinely disappointed in how much advice we are giving him.

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:03 PM

:c

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:04 PM

certsin bullets he has are magic and don’t work in the field but that’s it as far as i know

well, it’s possible i’m just pulling shit out of my arse too ^^

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:04 PM

xD thats the best kind of info

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:05 PM

funny fact though, i was 1 action away from starting to spread corruption in the park

Davey Bones

Honestly genuinely disappointed in how much advice we are giving him.

Suri Kerrington 30-Jan-22 11:05 PM

He will need every advantage if he's to take on Walter.

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:05 PM

i have no idea what that actually means

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:05 PM

the thing that makes people mad and is rioting

i plant totems that spreads them

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:05 PM

and then some cthulhu ripoff spawns and.. what exactly?

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:05 PM

and i was targeting NPC’s with them since it makes those NPC’s useless

Suri Kerrington 30-Jan-22 11:05 PM

The best advice is to kill him before he kills you though.

Suri Kerrington

The best advice is to kill him before he kills you though.

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:06 PM

damn, i knew i was missing something in my plan

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:07 PM

nahnah, i corrupt an area, then once fully corrupted i can create a portal to my god’s domain, then once i have 7 areas with full corruption and portals in 7 different zones i can start summoning my god

and if summoned i insta-kill everyone

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:07 PM

and i thought i had a noninteractive game plan x)

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:08 PM

i only got to 3 fully corrupted areas with portals before i became a smear in the church catacombs

why do you think there are riots and participants can’t get help from the hospital or church? it’s because they are fully corrupted ^^

i hade just planted a corruption totem for the merchs and was gonna target a certain dealer next for madness when i was blow up

allso, my servant was a real tank-n-spank one so it could deal allot of damage

it allmost killed walter during a day phase

Suri Kerrington 30-Jan-22 11:10 PM

It then died to a bunch of rats.

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:10 PM

without me knowing it meet him xD

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:10 PM

xD so conclusion, random vermin > terminator?

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:11 PM

you forgot the magus guye with your swarm of rats that it killed

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:12 PM

so, im curious... just how many people went after the count? xD

Blaine Greatheart

you forgot the magus guye with your swarm of rats that it killed

Suri Kerrington 30-Jan-22 11:14 PM

There's no proof!

Everyone who may or may not have seen this individual is dead!

Blaine Greatheart 30-Jan-22 11:25 PM

you know, i would refute this if it wasen’t for the part that the next enforcer they sent in suffered madness and is currently killing civis

wich funny enough, the herald may be dead but god’s influence is still spreading, now even the military kneels for god!

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 04:23 PM

I'm loving trash-talk right now, this is wonderful. xD

Zamesi 31-Jan-22 04:25 PM

Yeah, I'm just hoping they don't agree on a place or at least one of them doesn't show up, if they both survive just one day I'll be so happy xD

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 04:26 PM

I could imagine, this has gotta be nerve wracking.

Zamesi 31-Jan-22 04:26 PM

Mainly hilarious x) I guess there's still also technically a chance the assassin I hired just takes Walter out before any fight happens...

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 04:28 PM

I do love the idea of the scenario where Flo is just sitting in his fucking base and all of a sudden he just hears, "Congratulations, you are the victor of the mage war!" And he's just like, "Wh-what the fuck just happened?!"

Zamesi 31-Jan-22 04:28 PM

Exactly, almost as much as I love the idea of Walter just dying despite all his upgrades without even getting a chance to fight the last player

Blaine Greatheart 31-Jan-22 04:30 PM

the church is in rue hights, so my old base, and all the places are teeming with corruption and madness xD

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 04:30 PM

Oh god.

That's wonderful. xD

Cindurion 31-Jan-22 04:49 PM

Oh god, the military

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 04:50 PM

...

What about the military?

Blaine Greatheart 31-Jan-22 04:57 PM

they are 100% insane now

remember, they got sent in to quell the riots, riots that erupted in fully corrupted areas, areas wich makes NPC’s insane

and if i was still alive, then i would have controll over the part of the military that whent insane since via my ”herald of corruption” talent could issue commands to fully corrupted NPC’s and they would follow me, no check requierd

Zamesi 31-Jan-22 05:02 PM

Soooo maybe the military kill them both and make it a draw? ;)

Blaine Greatheart 31-Jan-22 05:20 PM

i think NPC’s/ minions can’t kill a mage unless it’s changed or i understood it wrong

yeees, take the mansion! it’s fully corrupted xD

only rue heights place not fully corrupted is casino, 3/5 at best

first place to fall to corruption, beside the church in rue heights, was the mage towers in that area, followed by mansion

Suri Kerrington 31-Jan-22 05:35 PM

I suspect a full on military crew with guns could still prove a problem if not dealt with.

Blaine Greatheart 31-Jan-22 05:35 PM

oh yeah, and we got no idea how much firepower the fuckers got

like, imagine if they actully brought a TANK

Zamesi 31-Jan-22 05:39 PM

Why stop at one?

A squad of apache helicopters pl0x

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 05:48 PM

OH. IT. IS. GOING. DOWN.

Blaine Greatheart 31-Jan-22 05:48 PM

hell yeah!

Cindurion 31-Jan-22 06:05 PM

Once the actual fight starts and the tether is active I'll be inviting you all to their text channels so you can read along. You won't have write priveliges but you can write freely here. While you are allowed occasional words of support you are not allowed to tell them anything critical to the fight in any way, and you should ideally keep communication with them on the low just to be sure you don't say something you shouldn't.

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 06:06 PM

Thank you!

Blaine Greatheart 31-Jan-22 06:06 PM

Cindurion 31-Jan-22 09:42 PM

IT IS ON! Mage tether is active, and this is likely the final fight of the war! Grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show!

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 09:42 PM

WHOOOOOOOOOOO!

Blaine Greatheart 31-Jan-22 09:42 PM

kick his arse Walter!

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 09:47 PM

So, we are allowed to give emotional support, but nothing else, right?

Cindurion 31-Jan-22 09:47 PM

Correct

Blaine Greatheart 31-Jan-22 09:48 PM

https://tenor.com/view/send-energy-sending-healing-dragon-ball-spirit-bomb-gif-16443313

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 09:48 PM

Fuck yeah.

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 10:48 PM

Oh god, he's going for it.

Suri Kerrington 31-Jan-22 10:48 PM

I think this might be the end of Flo!

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 10:49 PM

Seems likely.

Well.

At least he may have learned something from it.

Cindurion 31-Jan-22 10:56 PM

Flo's knowledge has been upgraded to 2!

Suri Kerrington 31-Jan-22 10:56 PM

EYYY!

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 10:56 PM

Oh my fucking god.

Cindurion 31-Jan-22 11:10 PM

This is kinda comical tbh

Suri Kerrington 31-Jan-22 11:11 PM

I'm on voice with Walter right now, It's hilarious!

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 11:11 PM

Flo: "I'mma blow you up!" (drops sticky bomb) Walter: "I'mma blow your head off!" (Click click click)

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 11:34 PM

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH

Davey Bones 31-Jan-22 11:58 PM

Well that's dark.

Suri Kerrington 31-Jan-22 11:59 PM

Grenades should work pretty well against hordes though.

Davey Bones 01-Feb-22 12:00 AM

As long as you don't point that out to Walter.

Cindurion 01-Feb-22 12:00 AM

That's an excellent point. Remember that you are only emotional support. No discussing tactics!

Suri Kerrington 01-Feb-22 12:01 AM

I am telling him nothing of actual value.

I did tell him about the attempt at getting a bluff to make the dropping of the bomb look like it was on purpose though.

AFTER it resolved.

Wait... The zombies should die as soon as they enter the anti-magic zone, shouldn't they?

Cindurion 01-Feb-22 12:08 AM

(They do not, going by pathfinder/5e logic since both spells are in it. Your swarm control was different due to you literally using your magic to continuously command them, whereas zombies are only magically brought back to life in the moment, afterwards they are just a creature.)

Davey Bones 01-Feb-22 12:08 AM

Makes sense.

Suri Kerrington 01-Feb-22 12:09 AM

Sure, but by that logic a Rat Swarm is also a creature in Pathfinder.

Suri Kerrington 01-Feb-22 12:27 AM

If you wanna troll you could force Walter to go and see the body of Flo before he wins. Assuming he's technically just knocked out.

Cindurion 01-Feb-22 12:34 AM

So the zombies would have lost control entering the field, just didn't wanna write at the time due to you being in a chat with him

Suri Kerrington 01-Feb-22 12:34 AM

No trust...

walter whnt from sniper to bomber, i like to think it was after our first fight that whent badely for him ^^

Walter Keane 01-Feb-22 12:35 PM

Look, the dice didn't like me hitting, so I had to take an alternative route

Blaine Greatheart 01-Feb-22 12:36 PM

well it worked, allso i hade NO right to come out with no injuries in our first fight xD

that nat 20 on your 19+ shoot was just stupid

Cindurion 01-Feb-22 12:37 PM

Plenty of stupid things happened in most fights I feel :P

Blaine Greatheart 01-Feb-22 12:37 PM

probably ^^

Flo Abetz 01-Feb-22 06:36 PM

Hello is me, the guy who hid in the basement during the war. if anyone is interested to tell me their story in this war, do call me, i am very interested to hear it.

Blaine Greatheart 01-Feb-22 06:37 PM

well, at most i was just spreading corruption wich was inducing the madness, btw, thanks for keeping the final battle in the same zone where the church was, ground zero for corruption, that whole zone was allmost fully corrupted by that point xD

Flo Abetz 01-Feb-22 06:39 PM

i see.

Blaine Greatheart 01-Feb-22 06:39 PM

i allso saved Davey life

Flo Abetz 01-Feb-22 06:40 PM

oh, yeah Davey told me that.

Blaine Greatheart 01-Feb-22 06:41 PM

now my reason for it was less then altruistic, it's just that he was wanted by the magus organization and what i was doing was a HUGE no-no for them so needed him around to keep 'em busy, hade no idea he hade fucked himself already at that point xD

Flo Abetz 01-Feb-22 06:41 PM

i see.

Blaine Greatheart 01-Feb-22 06:43 PM

allso, Walter was the one that killed your other mini-servant

with 1 shot

Flo Abetz 01-Feb-22 07:01 PM

Yeah, two natural 20 was it.

Walter Keane 01-Feb-22 09:53 PM

Walter chuckles at the newspaper as he's pouring his morning coffee, but his expression darkens as he realizes that the target on his back is not going away anytime soon. Settling down at the table with toast and eggs he ponders what to do for the day After some deliberation he swears as his coffee stains his favourite bathrobe. He tosses it in the washer, takes off his slippers and head to the workshop. As Walter heads off to the workshop he hears some creaking from the floor above. He doesn't think too much about it, when suddenly the entire house collapses right on top of him! Crawling up from the debris and looking over the situation, Walter is blinded by a flash. He hears someone say "What a scoop!" And before he can react, the man who apparently took the picture has already left the scene. (edited)

Blaine Greatheart 01-Feb-22 09:55 PM

The roof collapses and the assassin attempts to get out of the way, but is unsuccessful as he takes a large chunk of the roof right on his shoulder. "If this temple of god shall have to be sacrificed in order to stop you, an assassin of the magus organization, then so it shall BE!" "Whatever loonie" Ducking away from the monstrous creature, the assassin dives through a window Not a second later a small metallic object comes flying in again, it rolls up to your feet, and explodes The grenade lands at your feet and explodes in a rain of flesh, spraying the walls with blood.

Flo Abetz 01-Feb-22 09:56 PM

This Pirate be proud that ye made it this far, but truth be told, he be a tad disappointed in how ye got this far. He wishes ye a good fight none the less!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu

OH NO, MY BOY

Walter Keane 01-Feb-22 09:57 PM

This Pirate be giving ye his best wishes, send them to a watery grave!

Hurr hurr, grenades go "boom!"

Flo Abetz 01-Feb-22 09:58 PM

How you doing without Kasper, btw?

Please, Please be another nat 1! [23:32] Awww, That would have been hilarious!

Suri Kerrington 02-Feb-22 07:56 AM

Don't be! Eliminating the competition was the whole point! And you were basically able to do so by petting a single rat.

Impressive, when you think about it

Blake 02-Feb-22 07:58 AM

yeah I'm very happy at the pain I caused but at the same time I feel sorry for you lol

Blake

And lastly, when Bilbo died:

Cindurion 02-Feb-22 08:00 AM

Naaw. Hadn't seen that one either. Very cute and sad :P

Really appreciate the effort you put into this, was amazing having an artist produce images for their character and interactions! Hopefully next year we'll have some more people who can draw as well! :D

Walter Keane 02-Feb-22 08:02 AM

These are absolutely gorgeous!

Blake 02-Feb-22 08:04 AM

Aw, thank you, you are being super nice^^ Also yess, lets draw all the things and get all the drawing ppl

Blake

yeah I'm very happy at the pain I caused but at the same time I feel sorry for you lol

Suri Kerrington 02-Feb-22 08:05 AM

I'm just happy the event was deemed impactfull enough tonbe immortalised in art! Could you imagine if the downfall of you empire was deemed unimportant? Now that would suck!

Blake 02-Feb-22 08:06 AM

Hahah yepp, that would suck i guess (edited)
