Disgaea Valor 17-19

Shika (GM): We're missing a bookworm

Ethan puts a Prinny in a dress and gives it a book
Ethan: Done.
Shika (GM): Excellent!
Comrade Q.: they'll never be able to tell the difference!
Ethan: NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW

Shika (GM) plays Roundabout
NekoIncardine: "It's kind of obvious.... She doesn't have a beak you know."
Shika (GM): "They're demons, you never know!"
Vehrec: Doc can tell the difference.
Comrade Q.: Mannfred definitely can't
Vehrec: she knows cute girls when she sees them...and while the prinny has a cute soul for a sinner, nothing can compare to Elly.
Shika (GM): oh hi
Elly: Hiyo~
...

Elly sees she's been replaced.
Mannfred: I wouldn't say "replaced"
Elly: ...so, I guess that means I can continue to eat ice cream.
Cool.
Mannfred: "upgraded" maybe

Nocebo stabs Manfred in the back with a scalpel.
Shika (GM): OKAY WHO'S READY TO BEGIN THIS GLORIOUS BATTLEEEE
Minki K.: (here as guest to watch the rain of arrows)

Mannfred is below critical and ready to rumble

Yakiba is starting this combat better than most other fights

Nocebo will heal you up, don't worry...just enjoy the new celebrity.
NekoIncardine: (... Permission to invite a few of my D&D 4e-playing friends to watch?)
I'd need the link tho
Trapmaster Indra: (Sure?)
Elly: (I'm okay with it)
Nocebo: (no objections here.)
Yakiba: (fine with me)
Mannfred: (I'm cool with strangers watching me fuck up real bad)
NekoIncardine: Can someone PM me the invite link so I can do so?
Trapmaster Indra: https://app.roll20.net/join/1175337/Pcvq7Q
Before we begin, some things to note about this battlefield:
One, the brown squares are trees. You cannot move through them. They are trees.
Mammon: Don't tell me what to do, trees.
Nocebo: tree trunks, got it. do they block LOS for line attacks, not that I have any?
Trapmaster Indra: The gray zones around them are the shadows they cast. They are Darkness.
You have a -1 to defend against attacks from somebody within a dark zone, and a -1 to attack somebody inside of the dark zone.
Unless you have Darksight, or you have and have activated Spirit Sight.
Mannfred: which I'm preeeeeetty sure none of us have
Countess Alesone: "At least you get to die in the shade~"
Trapmaster Indra: good job guys
Nocebo: but if we hide out in the darkness...
Yakiba: ...my Sentry Gun can Boost itself with that, but unless it got full-healed like the rest of us did before we entered the forest...
Trapmaster Indra: It probably did. Maybe.
Possibly.
Elly: Darkness has never been a condition up until now D:
I thought it was a thing that was forgotten
Yakiba: We'll still be fine, I think
Countess Alesone: It's almost like Alesone picked this place to give herself plenty of advantage~
Mannfred: absolutely nothing about this situation is fine
Trapmaster Indra: ANYWAY WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, Indra's turn.
Countess Alesone: (Oh, should we all roll initiative?)
Trapmaster Indra: (We've got initiative up)
(This is a continuation of th3e challenge scene)
Countess Alesone: (I'm only seeing Indra and the soldiers)
Mannfred: same here
Yakiba: also same here
Trapmaster Indra: Um, that's weird.
hold on
Countess Alesone: (Oh! Because our tokens that our init was on are on a different map than we are.)
(So only you can see those tokens, so the order shows up for you.)
Elly: No fair, the computer took away all the player turns
Countess Alesone: It took my turn too, what the hell :(
Nocebo: Be thankfull the countess isn't an XCOM2 Ruler.
Trapmaster Indra: ALL RIGHTY
Nocebo: (Taking an action after every player turn is even more BS than Masters.)
Trapmaster Indra: Mammon, roll Int! It looks like you are being Analyzed. 11
Countess Alesone: (Hah.)
Trapmaster Indra: Good job Indra
Mannfred: she's the Trapmaster, not the Analyst. cut her some slack
Mammon: 12 Too smart for this shit.
Trapmaster Indra: Barely
Mammon: ...Barely.
Trapmaster Indra: BARELY too smart for this shit.
She prepares something and ends her turn.
Yakiba: This darkness... could be as much an advantage to him as to the soldiers.
Trapmaster Indra: Before Yakiba can move there
Yakiba: An Indirect Attack, is it...
Trapmaster Indra: Two talismans call from the tree branches, flying to the two demons who think themselves coolest
Yakiba and Mammon, roll defense vs an Int attack
15 vs Yakiba
14 vs Mammon
Mammon: 19 Int
Yakiba: 11 defending with Muscle instead
Mammon: STILL TOO SMART
Yakiba: failed...
Minki K.: (we can't all be geniuses)
Nocebo: wait are you saying that Doc doesn't think she's cooler than these guys?
Trapmaster Indra: 21 damage, inflicted with Aggravated Wounds (1/2 healing) and -6 defense
and -4 move during this round
Yakiba: ...That is really inconvenient.
Trapmaster Indra: Such is the point of traps.
Yakiba: "I will make up for that moment of hubris another time."
While the shadow would have been an ideal place to get dodgy...
he completely failed to account for something that strictly speaking wasn't there a second ago.
He will do that now, though.
Trapmaster Indra: Slip Stance?
Yakiba: Yes.
Trapmaster Indra: thumbs up
Yakiba: aaaand that's not near close enough so I'll be attack moving.
Trapmaster Indra: Fair 'nuff
Mammon!
Mammon: PORTAL TIME bear with me, I have to draw these with the touchpad instead of a mouse.
And he'll use that to cut right to the chase and open fire on Alesone.
16 Dex
Trapmaster Indra: What technique?
Mammon: Shots Fired.'
Trapmaster Indra: It only has a range of 8 tho?
Mammon: Did I count wrong? Let me see...
Trapmaster Indra: Even if a Prinny did it, it would be one space short
Portals are considered adjacent, not the same space.
Elly: I count 8 :o
Yakiba: If one of those portals was closer to you, maybe it'd reach though
Mammon: ERHEM can I redo where I placed one?
Countess Alesone: 13 Defense via Dexterity!
Trapmaster Indra: and yes you can
Elly: Oh wait
Alesome
Countess Alesone: ?
Elly: nvm
Trapmaster Indra: Anyway, Mammon hits!
Elly: I thought he was attacking Indra
Countess Alesone: "Tch!"
Trapmaster Indra: 57 damage!
Ouch
Nocebo: "Don't riddle her with bullets too much, even if her taste is kinda trashy!"
Mammon: "And that's why bows and magic are completely outmoded. Thank you."
End turn.
Mannfred: "Didn't you just use magic to shoot at her from that distance?"
Melianel Adelgarde: (he's insulting the both of us)
Yakiba: juuust like him to ignore convenient facts
Mammon: "Shut up and stop bleeding, Mannfred."
Countess Alesone: "Oh, no, bleed more. It'll save me time."
Mannfred: "I refuse to do either of those things."
Nocebo: "Stay where I can staunch the bleeding damnit."
"Don't hide behind a barrier that blocks off medical aid."
Mannfred: "For your information, doctor, I've been working on my barriers, so that's no longer of any concern."
Elly: Elly takes a moment to walk over to Mannfred
"Don't talk bad to her."
(Move 1: Steps: 2)
Mannfred: "I didn't say anything! I was just correcting her on a grievous misconception."
Elly: She reaches up to him and starts to clean him up. "Don't forget, you're supposed to be presentable. You are the Hero of Demons, you know."
"If you die here, it would make for a very boring story. So, buck up."
Countess Alesone: "You seriously think you are the heroes?"
Mannfred: "You know it's very hard to tell whether or not you're being sarcastic."
Awe: "Oh, of course we don't."
Elly: As she does this, it would seem that he might feel a bit better. (Literary License: Vitality)
Yakiba: *Yakiba said that
Mammon: "Don't insult us. However, my client here has been mistaken for one."
Nocebo: "We are therefore gonna make a Killing on the Merchandizing."
Elly: "I guess you'll just have to decide. Writers are very hard to tell sometime."
Mammon: "And it's our devil-given duty to exploit the media's mistake!"
Mannfred: "I really appreciate all of you taking my predicament so seriously."

Nocebo produces a Manfreed brand lunchbox, coloring book, and action figure.
Countess Alesone: "... Those look terrible."
Elly: With that done, she'll head up between Yakiba and Mammon
Nocebo: "We're still working on the brand concepts."
Elly: (Move 2: Steps: 8)
Mannfred: "I agree. My nose isn't nearly that big!"
Elly: (As soon as my mouse lets me)
(Yes there.)
And then she does a quick scribble, setting out a page that seems to be glowing fire between the two trees. (Refraction Point)
And end turn~
"...oh... I'm on the front lines. Hehe..."
"Is this what it feels like to be a front line attacker?"
Mannfred: "Well, it leaves more room for me back here, so I won't complain."
"Not this time, anyway."
Elly: Enjoying the moment, ruined by Mannfred mouthing off. Elly rolls her eyes and grimaces towards the archers.

Mannfred runs (or just kinda limps really fast) behind one of the trees, taking cover
Countess Alesone: "It is a pity that your souls are so inherently corrupted that you are beyond redemption. A couple of you look like you'd almost be useful on the Empire's side."
Elly: Elly looks over to Mammon. "Do you think she means you?"
Trapmaster Indra: "As if. Anybody who would dare disrespect you, Countess, would have nothing to offer us."
Countess Alesone: "You've a point, as always."
Mannfred: Throwing up a grand total of two (2) phantom interns along with a tape barrier
Countess Alesone: "... Now what is this?"
Mammon: "I am the Netherworld's Most Useful Mercenary..."
Trapmaster Indra: "Some demon magic."
"Hiding behind it like the cowards they are."
Mannfred: "You say coward as if it's a bad thing!"
Countess Alesone: "... The fact that something so obviously bad is something you'd try to justify really shows off how absurd your pathetic lives really are."
Yakiba: "You say coward as if you haven't been harrying us with traps for the last few hours."
Mannfred: "Who's justifying!? I'm just staying true to my nature!"
"And my nature is to hide behind the giant tree and not get shot at!"
Countess Alesone: "Ten minutes, at most. I'm surprised you survived that long, to be honest."
And then, something you didn't expect occurs. Alesone disappears.
Yakiba: "That, and the 'corrupted' comment, show how little you really know."
Countess Alesone: One minute, she's fully visible; the next, there's no sign of her...
Mammon: 'Yakiba, you're a ninja. How...?"
Mannfred: "I never knew humans were such tremendous hypocrites."
Countess Alesone: She moves to four tiles to the right of the refreaction point, behind the tree cover.
Yakiba: "Contrary to expectations, stealth is actually not something I'm that good at."
Countess Alesone: ... That was meant to be whispered and I am changing where she's moving now.
Mannfred: "Okay, here's a thought, then. Can anyone here see the invisible?"
Trapmaster Indra: "I can."
Yakiba: "You don't count."
Mannfred: "I wasn't asking you!"
Nocebo: "I certainly can!"
Countess Alesone: ... Oddly, no attack comes. Not yet.. Her turn ends. Perhaps that barrier actually was enough to keep her from getting a good angle of attack?
Trapmaster Indra: "If you can't even see the invisible, you deserve to be shot full of arrows by the Countess!"
Mammon: "Hey, I can't even see visible things if they'rein a certain spot to the right."
Nocebo: "I just need to chant the 47 sylables of Revelation and open the Eight seals!
Mannfred: "That sounds like it'll take much more time than we have right now."
Countess Alesone: From a hard-to-determine direction, you hear: "Note to self, shoot the doctor first."
Nocebo: bwahahaha
Mannfred: "I'm going to go ahead and mark you down as a 'no' anyway."
Yakiba: "Forty-seven syllables still wouldn't take that long; this statement has twenty-two of them."
Nocebo: "Your cowardice is noted and observed Mannfred...But if you do not trust in my eyes, will you at least trust in the fact that I'm gonna shoot you in the neck with a dart?"
Mannfred: "Wait, wha...?"

Nocebo pulls out a blowgun. and a dart of that glowy gold stuff she's got.

Elly pulls out a sign that reads "8."
Nocebo: Fumph! "Try being an abject coward when Pure Battlefrenzy and unnatrual endorphins block all the pain!"

Countess Alesone looks confused. Not that you can see it.
Nocebo: Or in other words, she just dropped an early ult on Manfred so he can enjoy the regeneration of Overdrive Serum.

Mannfred puts a hand over his neck. "ugh. I feel all lightheaded. What did you just hit me with?"
Nocebo: "Remember how Yakiba fought like a tiger and a bear and a shark against the Overmayor?"
Trapmaster Indra: Mannfred now has Unyielding Determination and Regeneration!
Nocebo: "Today, you shall be the one to have my miraculous medicine coursing through your veins!"
Mannfred: "Well, that's...! I'm...!"
"...Actually feeling a lot better now."

Mannfred looks down at his hands like he's just seeing them for the first time
Nocebo: "Glad to hear it...the rest of you guys are just getting normal medicine I'm sad to say...But don't worry, my normal medicine is still pretty sweet!"
Healing Elly and Mamon for 45 each.
and end turn.
Mammon: "Thank you, doctor."
Elly: "Thank you, Raf-"
Hand on mouth.
Archer Knight: One of the archers shoots an arrow at Elly right at that moment
First, Mannfred, roll your barrier core
9\
Mannfred: 4
wow
Archer Knight: Elly, defense vs Dex! 15
Nocebo: ... you guys...
you have to level up your barriers.
Elly: Do I get -1?
Mannfred: "In my defense, just how structurally sound do you expect tape to be?!"
Archer Knight: Yeah but so do they, so it's actually vs 14
Elly: 10
Archer Knight: And also, Nocebo and Yakiba, same. Dex attacks
11 vs Yakiba,
15 vs Nocebo
Elly: In a moment of optimism! Elly had believed Mannfred's barrier would keep
Archer Knight: Yakiba gets -1 from shadows and +1 from boost, so hey
Elly: ...it seems she is woefully disappointed
Mannfred: this is what you get from expecting good things of Mannfred
Yakiba: 17 as mentioned his boost and the darkness penalty negate each other
Mobile Dodge activate
Archer Knight: 31 damage to Elly!
Nocebo: curses, not enough Valor to Resolve that...Gonna Aura sub instead. 11
Archer Knight: 28!
New round, +1 Valor, or +2 for Mannfred
Nocebo: "Ah shit. How many arrows am I gonna pick up before this is over?
Eight? TEN?"
Countess Alesone: "I'll make sure to leave twenty in your corpse." STILL no clear sign where that's coming from.
Trapmaster Indra: Indra's turn!
Yakiba, you're being Analyzed. Roll Int! 13
Nocebo: "It's cute you think you can actually KILL me. But it's not gonna happen."
Yakiba: A ninja's mind should be an enigma: 11
Trapmaster Indra: It is not, alas.
Yakiba: Unfortunately, it is not.
Nocebo: yours isn't.
Trapmaster Indra: Then she prepares something. End turn.
Remember, you can spend a support action to try and discern Alesone's location
(You'll need to roll Int/Aur/Res)
Yakiba: (aka any of my bad stats)
Trapmaster Indra: (Yes)
Yakiba: Too much stress wouldn't be good for his little gun friend, so he'd almost rather not, but if it's a sniping war they want... he'll leave it to his inventions and wade into melee anyway. "Sentry going up."
Trapmaster Indra: Where is it going again?
Yakiba: 2 left of Elly/1 north of Yakiba
And he's in position to command it immediately this time. Rather than try to get attention, it begins this time with its performance improvement routines.
(It uses Acquire Target on itself and prepares a counter, in other words)
(I should probably rename that, come to think of it)
Nocebo: (Sensor Sweep?)
Trapmaster Indra: Stamina cost on that should be 11 not 5 btw
Yakiba: (I'll get the explanation later)
Trapmaster Indra: OKAY that sorted out let move on
Yakiba: Anyway let's support move actually, get this counter out of the way.
I mean regular move.
Trapmaster Indra: You have no more support actions left- oh okay
No counter.
Yakiba: Moving there then if there's a clear path.
Mammon: Dealing with her? Good, good.
TOSS
Trapmaster Indra: hmmmm
Mammon: Prinny say goodbye. 16 18 Int.
Unless you're gonna counter that.
*15 and 17
Trapmaster Indra: Mostly I'm trying to figure out how Ranged Interrupt works with throws
I'll allow it for now tho
1913
Mammon: And let's call that good for now.
Trapmaster Indra: No other moves?
Mammon: I feel good about my current location.
Trapmaster Indra: Elly's up then!
Elly: Effect Transfer works on Refractory Points, right?
Trapmaster Indra: yes
also refraction
Elly: Yes, them
I changed my mind anywho
Trapmaster Indra: RIGHT THERE
You notice a small metal spike sticking up out of the ground.
Elly: "Oh. What's this?"
Trapmaster Indra: It shoots out lightning.
Nocebo: :O
Elly: THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING VERY VERY...
Nocebo: "ELLY!"
Trapmaster Indra: Dex attacks:
20 vs Elly
20 vs Mammon
14 vs prinny
.....EXCELLENT
Elly: "Oh poo."
can't win 18
Trapmaster Indra: 7 damage
Yakiba: "Frightening." That looked fiendishly effective; are we sure Indra isn't a demon
Mammon: 12 can't win but you know.
Prinnyblocking!
Yakiba: like, apparently she set the greatest trap of all
Trapmaster Indra: Prinny has to win first
Yakiba: an RNG trap
Mammon: Oh right, missed that.
Prinny Squad: 19
Nice.
Trapmaster Indra: Elly is immobilized!

Mammon gently places charred Prinny back on the ground
Trapmaster Indra: The prinny is ded.
The lightning is still arcing out.
Nocebo: insidious.
Elly: Can I burn a support to break Immobilize?
Yakiba: no
Trapmaster Indra: Nope, has to be a Move
Elly: She gets two moves, does that count?
Yakiba: Split Move doesn't work that way either
Trapmaster Indra: ^^^
Elly: mmmkay! Just checking
Tching, Elly... looks more than a little miffed.
"That wasn't very nice..."
Trapmaster Indra: The lightning paralyzes Elly sry
"Why should I play nice with demons?"

Mannfred finds this whole setup oddly familiar...
Elly: Okay. What CAN I do? xD
Trapmaster Indra: You could sacrifice an attack action to make it a move and use it to break free
or you can just wallow right there and use whatever supports/attacks you can from there
Nocebo: and hope someone comes along to Toss you out before that attack hits again.
Elly: Okay, good, I was confused because at first it was immobile and then it was paralyzed
Yakiba: Are you insinuating that this is your plan
Trapmaster Indra: you cannot toss somebody who is immobilized btw
"any actions you or an ally takes to change your position is nullified"
Yakiba: I'd have missed that, so thank you for pointing it out.
Elly: ANYWHO!
More than a little miffed, Elly takes out her book and writes up another page. It starts glowing and it becomes a second Refraction Point placed...
There
She'll then cast her aura magic over on the other elf on the far end...
Triggering...
Trapmaster Indra: Wait, what move is this?
Elly: Meddle Fate
It has Area Effect +2
Trapmaster Indra: Looking at it, I'll have to take 1 core power from it, make sure to note
the second level of blast radius is +2, not +1
BUT ANYWAY go ahead and roll attack three times, -1 to attack for each
Well, -1 to two, -3 to the third
Elly: Say that again?
Yakiba: I'd guess Countess Invisible has to be in there somewhere
Trapmaster Indra: Three attack rolls, toll them. -1 to two of them, -3 to one of them.
roll*
Countess Alesone: "!"
Elly: Ooooh
12 Right. 19 left. 13 ???
Archer Knight: 1018
Alesone, roll defense vs Aura!
(You can, of course, sub another stat if you'd like)
Elly: (and I'll correct the damage, sorry for confusing that)
Nocebo: (so did fate just warp and drop branches on those knights, knocking them out?
Elly: well... it probably couldn't it has a mercy limit :3;;
Countess Alesone: 20 Subbing Dexterity!
Archer Knight: Well they're flunkies so

Countess Alesone whew
Elly: "...that."
"...wasn't."
"...NICE."

Elly sulks darkly.
Trapmaster Indra: "If you meant to hit me, you failed."
Elly: "I will. Soon."
Trapmaster Indra: Mannfred! You're suped up and ready to go. What do?

Mannfred is feeling SUPER jittery thanks to all that juice Nocebo pumped into his system, but for now he'll try and concentrate, figure out where Alesone could be hiding
Trapmaster Indra: Roll Int, Aura, or Res
Mannfred: 15 rollin Int!
Countess Alesone: 19 Resisting with Resolve.
Trapmaster Indra: shrug emote
Mannfred: "Urrgh! Screw this!"
feeling frustrated, Mannfred tries to lash out at Indra with an energy grid
18
Trapmaster Indra: 17 !!!
Your roll is 19 btw
Since you are Transformed, all attributes are +1
Mannfred: pffft I can't believe I forgot about that
Trapmaster Indra: 15 damage
Mannfred: "Aha! Ahahahaha!"
"See?! Do you see how that feels?!"

Mannfred continues to laugh maniacally, probably for the rest of the round
Trapmaster Indra: Alesone!
Countess Alesone: (Hm)
Mammon: "Oh, great, now he's got self-esteem."
Countess Alesone: "Let's see you suffer! BURNING CHAIN!", Alesone shouts. For a split-second, she appears, before a single, burning arrow bounces in an erratic arc from Yakiba, to Elly, to Mammon, to Nocebo, to Mannfred!
13
Trapmaster Indra: roll for each target
Countess Alesone: 18 12 20 14
In the order she named.
Mammon: So I'm against the 12, right?
Int?
Countess Alesone: Correct
Yakiba: ...what's our penalty for not being able to see her?
Nocebo: Resolve sub, you're my only hope! 11
Yakiba: Do we even... have one?
Countess Alesone: This is an Agility attack so default is Dexterity.
Nocebo: RESOLVE SUB
noooo!
Mammon: 13 Okay, dex then.
Countess Alesone: No penalty.
Trapmaster Indra: Just -1
Elly: 18 dex!
Mammon: Whoops.
Elly: Noooo
Nocebo: also woops
Countess Alesone: Just the darkness penalty. (Which she does not suffer. She's got Dark Sight.)
Yakiba: 14 but, again, I have that +1
Mammon: That's a hit for me, then.
Mannfred: 14 Int sub!
Nocebo: so that's 10 for Nocebo..
Yakiba: Barely missed!
Countess Alesone: Damage is 71, by the by.
Mannfred: dang
Yakiba: Mobile Dodge tho
Trapmaster Indra: So crit vs Nocebo too
nice
And a hit on everyone but Yakiba
Countess Alesone: 83 to Nocebo, then.
Yakiba: everyone has at least one overdrive, is anyone going to use one
Mannfred: I think imma overdrive this, yea
Mammon: Eh, it's not the hardest attack in the world.
Mannfred: since I've got Valor to spare now
Yakiba: *everyone except Nocebo...
Mammon: Nocebo, though... would need four support overdrives.
Nocebo: leave me to burn.
Mammon: You know what let's use one to spare her the crit.
Nocebo: though that is nice of you :D
Yakiba: Gotta take care of your doctor
Nocebo: Physician still cannot heal herself.
Mammon: Defend the medic, it's battlefield 101.
Yakiba: "Of course you have no respect for the Gehenna Conventions. (Although, neither do we.)"
Trapmaster Indra: 47 to Mammon, 47 to Elly, 44 to Nocebo
Mammon: "I respect them, I just don't make a big deal about it."

Mannfred still takes the hit, but the arrow doesn't even faze him
Countess Alesone: "If she's operating on the frontlines, she's a target, just like any other demon who dares get in the path of our glorious conquest."
Yakiba: "So, you've admitted it!"
Nocebo: Hmmm
Mammon: "She IS literally a combatant."
Nocebo: "Za-Zhi-Lu-Puu-"
Countess Alesone: "Also, I have no clue what you're talking about."
Nocebo: Let's try to count up those 47 sylables and make nonsense into perfect sense... Based on womanly intuition, the Countess must be... 17
Yakiba: "Nor will you ever."
Nocebo: resolve to do that thing.
Countess Alesone: 13 Resolve to stay hidden!
Oh, hey, you've spotted her.
Nocebo: "AHA!"

Nocebo still cannot reach that from where she is... but maybe if she can borrow a portal...
Trapmaster Indra: It would be the same distance Nocebo...
Nocebo: well she might move first!
like dat.
Trapmaster Indra: It's still the same distance.
Countess Alesone: If she moves, she's going to return to being non-locatable...
Trapmaster Indra: Portals are adjacent, not considered the same space.
Nocebo: darn, you're right...
Mammon: Where is she again?
Trapmaster Indra: You don't know Mammon
Only Nocebo
Mammon: Ohhhh.
Trapmaster Indra: (You could sac a support for 1/2 move)
(Wait you already used it nevermind)
Nocebo: No, this is in range of one attack. I think.
(or am I counting wrong and I should have moved up an extra square?
Trapmaster Indra: (Your splash attack has a range of 6 so??? you good)
Nocebo: ...actually, Toxic Dose has a range of 6 now. so yeah. ))
Trapmaster Indra: Roll it with -1, Alesone roll defense +2 vs Int
Nocebo: "Can humans breathe cyanide, Chlorine and carbon monoxide?"
10
Trapmaster Indra: "You wouldn't dare!"
Elly: "My research says no."
Countess Alesone: 13 Dexterity sub!
"Not finding out."

Nocebo lobs a genade that begins to spray evil-looking green gass...
Nocebo: but evidently it's spreading too slow to be effective.
"Note to self-need new dispersal mechanism."
Trapmaster Indra: New round! +1 valor except to Mannfred
Before anything else, Dex attack!
11 vs Elly
12 vs Mammon
Welp
Elly: FOR ALL THE HECK THIS THING HAS BEEN GIVING HER...
14
Mammon: [1d10+10]] Dex, it COULD hit.
Elly: MAN THAT FEELS GOOD
Mammon: 16 fuck you.
Trapmaster Indra: Double-miss. :<
Nocebo: PRAISE
Trapmaster Indra: There's a voice from beyond the tree line
Archer Knight: "Indra, ma'am! They're ready!"
Trapmaster Indra: "Perfect. On my signal, then!"
Countess Alesone: "Oooh, this'll be fun~"
Trapmaster Indra: She prepares something else, and ends her turn.
Mammon: "That sounds innocuous."
Elly: "I don't think so. I'm finding them very annoying..."
Yakiba: The turret kicks into a high-intensity anomaly locator, making sure to report: 11 Resolve - Find Invisible
it probably doesn't work
Countess Alesone: 19 It probably doesn't.
Yakiba: It was calibrated for demons.
Well, let's find out what nasty thing is in store for us now
...actually, since the turret's counterattack is still on I think it can just... try that again
Trapmaster Indra: That's true
Yakiba: 14 let's see if the second sweep catches her
Trapmaster Indra: Alesone, go ahead and roll against it!
Yakiba: if it can find a discrepancy between the two scans, there she is
Countess Alesone: 10
Yakiba: it's like spot the difference, with heat signatures.
Countess Alesone: Welp
There she is
Yakiba: (Reminder that Invisibility RAW states that her position wherever she was when she last used a technique is public knowledge, not sure if that was revealed when she Burning Whatevered)
...oh, that should have been a whisper
Trapmaster Indra: (It was, but she moved immediately after anyway.)
Yakiba: (Yeah I figured)
Not dealing with that just yet though.
Trapmaster Indra: One move, and-
"NOW!"
Yakiba: back to the 'let's see what nasty thing this is' from before
Trapmaster Indra: "CATAPULTS, LAUNCH!"
GIANT BOULDERS FALL FROM THE SKY
Elly: "!"
Nocebo: are they flaming boulders, or just regular ones?
Elly: "...this is really cool and really awful..."
Mannfred: "AHAHAHAHA! YOU MISSED ME!"
Trapmaster Indra: Dex attacks;
11 vs Yakiba
15 vs Elly
17 vs Mammon
12 vs Sentry Gun
20 vs Nocebo
Nocebo: WHY
Countess Alesone: (Yowch)
Mammon: "Oh my god how primitive can DAMN THEY'RE BIG"
20 Dex
Nocebo: 17 Resolve.
Mammon: Nice.
Countess Alesone: "Fufufufu~"
Elly: 14
Nocebo: ...OVERDRIVE because I'm going going down.
Yakiba: 13 Dex defense
Elly: Really dice "c
Nocebo: not going*
Yakiba: anyway mmmobile dodge
Nocebo: we need a roll for the sentry gun to.
Yakiba: Oh right 13 Dex defense on it too
Countess Alesone: ... The turret dodged. wow.
Trapmaster Indra: hmmmmmm
Overdrive on Nocebo
Nocebo: ah crap
Mammon: Well that's unsporting.
Yakiba: You rolled a 2 against it, that's not exactly a hard target
Trapmaster Indra: Humans don't play by the rules!!!
Yakiba: ...she needs two Overdrives to dodge.
Nocebo: I guess it's probable this won't kill her...if this isn't a Ult
Trapmaster Indra: Anyway, 33 damage to Elly and 27 to Nocebo
....
And
they are both knocked down AND immobilized
Nocebo: UGH
Trapmaster Indra: -1 to all rolls
Nocebo: "You know what, I'm just gonna lie down for a while after that concushsuhsuhion."
Trapmaster Indra: And then "Ready the next round!"
Elly: "Why are we doing this again?"
Yakiba: As soon as I can get this Battle Analysis cleared Indra is going to receive Words
Nocebo: "Protip: do not headbutt boulders."
Mammon: "So, let's kill HER."
Trapmaster Indra: Also that is an ult
Yakiba: (accidentally Back-ed)
Countess Alesone: "What, you thought we were out of plans?"
Yakiba: anyway, that was in the middle of my move so I'll keep moving
to here
Trapmaster Indra: Remember ur boost runs out this turn
Yakiba: Noted, but I'm not reapplying it this turn I think
12 Kinetics/Dex attack vs Indra
Trapmaster Indra: 17 dex defense
She sways out of the way
Yakiba: and that's the turn, Mammon go
Mammon: That's persistent damage I'm gonna have to roll against, isn't it?
Trapmaster Indra: Only at the beginning of Indra's turn
Mammon: Oh, okay, right then.
Reviving both Prinnies!
Trapmaster Indra: oh right, also
The rocks destroyed that tree
Yakiba: It would be very Disgaea for them not to, but humans aren't playing by the rules.
Mammon: And I can still hit Indra from here. Like to try to spot the boss, but ah, action economy.
18 SHOTS FIRED, Dex
Trapmaster Indra: 18
Hit!
Nocebo: If only you had some kind of bullet hurricane that could target everything around you.
Yakiba: (also, 2000 HL Indra has Effect Transfer)
Trapmaster Indra: 56 damage!
"Ow! What the netherworld!?"
Mammon: "Okay, I find that OFFENSIVE."
And ending turn.
Trapmaster Indra: Remember; move action to end immobilized, move or support to end prone.
Nocebo: you can still crawl half your move while prone though.
Yakiba: not while you're immobilized...
Nocebo: well no
Trapmaster Indra: but you need a move action to remove immobilized, yea
Elly: How much of a move do I get for eating an attack?
Yakiba: Full move
Elly: This is going to look like a really lame turn then, as Elly uses her WILL to get up and her DETERMINATION to pry herself out of the trap...
Only to limp weakly over behind a tree, doing her best Mannfred impression.
And thats it!
Yakiba: I strongly recommend healing Nocebo if you can
Countess Alesone: ((No kidding))
Nocebo: I will return the favor.
Mannfred: Okay, time to figure out where Alesone's supposed to be, for real this time! Mannfred is visibly straining trying to puzzle this thing out 16
Countess Alesone: 10
"Well."
Yakiba: "Your every word betrays you."
Mannfred: "You thought you could hide from me?! I have eyes everywhere!"
Yakiba: (He actually thinks that words from everywhere trick was neat and wants to know how that was done. Engineer's curiosity...)
Mammon: "I think I like High as a Hellkite Mannfred better.
"
Mannfred: And since she's juuust in his range, he'll try and slam her against the tree 15
Countess Alesone: (She's not telling.)
14 Dex substitution!
Well. +(Increment) to the damage
Trapmaster Indra: Twice ouch
78
damage
Mannfred: "Nothing can protect you from me! I am the fulcrum! I am the axis on which this world turns!"
Nocebo: "...Elly?"
"Was I like...that when I used that on myself?"
Yakiba: "And thus, the groundbreaking Axis Mannfred theory."
Elly: While this is going on, Evelyn can be heard saying. "Realizing Mannfred is actually doing something for once, Nocebo couldn't hope but feel hope swell within her heart."
Nocebo: uhhhh

Countess Alesone cries out as the strike slams her against the tree, breaking her camoflauge!
Nocebo: isn't her name Ellipsis?
Elly: Ooops xD
(Sudden Action: Literary Liscence: Vitality on Nocebo)
Mammon: "Does the Netherworld even turn? I always thought most Netherworlds were actually flat."
"You know, like a big island in space with jaggy rocks under."
Elly: I have two E-characters, sorry ;w;
Mannfred: the walls between realities just kinda shuddered there for a second
Countess Alesone: (She's no longer invisible! That's good! She's angry, not so good)
Nocebo: either way, at least there's life...and hope.
Yakiba: "A flat world can turn, but it'd make life really hazardous for anyone close to the edge."
"Provided that said edge exists."
Mammon: (Emily we have critically important lore questions.)
Countess Alesone: "HURRY UP AND DIE! BURNING CHAIN!", Alesone declares, as she fires that attack again. This time, it's the Prinny next to her (13), then Mammon (12), then the other Prinny (14), then Nocebo (12), then Elly(17)!
Trapmaster Indra: no the world is not flat
-1 to all defense rolls for that

Mannfred is a dedicated member of the Flat Netherworld Society
Countess Alesone: Also, she should have -10 Sstamina from the turns spent invisible. /does that

Countess Alesone then freaking RUNS!
Mammon: 10 17 19 Dex, in that order.
One Prinny down! Who needs it.
Elly: Well, before the attack clears, Elly used a Sudden Action Valor Skill to heal Nocebo
Countess Alesone: She did. Which may have just saved Nocebo's life.
Trapmaster Indra: Nocebo gets -2 to defense
Nocebo: Nocebo is defending with her wits and her deceptive skills to trick Alesone. 17
Trapmaster Indra: -1 for prone, -1 for the darkness
Countess Alesone: ... While pinned under rock.
Impressive, Nocebo. Impressive.
Nocebo: Okay, so 16
Trapmaster Indra: not that it matters either way
Elly: 12 dex defense
Nocebo: "Years or running a crooked find the lady game finally pays off... though I wish the girl I was conning was less cute."
Elly: Yeah ouchies ;w;
Countess Alesone: "Aw, thanks. Not that it'll save you."
71 damage. To the one target it hit.
Nocebo: did she vanish again after that attack?
Mammon: "Doc. FOCUS."
Countess Alesone: Nope! She just fled for cover.
Nocebo: oh I see.
Trapmaster Indra: 47 to Elly
Nocebo: "Right, Triage!"
Countess Alesone: "HOW ARE YOU DOING MEDICINE ON HER FROM THAT FAR AWAY WHILE PINNED UNDER ROCK THAT DOES NOT EVEN MAKE SENSE"

Nocebo spends a Move to stand up and knock away some of the rocks that were semi-pinning her.
Nocebo: "I am an AMAZING doctor! And I gave Elly a bookmark before I came here that's a medicated bandage and I have a magic crystal for Mammon to get healed by."
(The bandage has little hearts on it.)
Countess Alesone: "grrrr"
Mammon: "Crystals?"
"Is this some hippie thing?"

Elly weakly raises a thumbs-up to Nocebo from the darkness.
Nocebo: "No, it's a Geomancer Woo-Woo-thing."
Trapmaster Indra: "Don't underestimate the healing power of crystals."
Mannfred: "WOO WOO!"

Nocebo is regretting the power of suggestion.
Nocebo: for the first time in...ever.
Trapmaster Indra: Anything else for this turn?
Nocebo: "Your opinion is NOT asked for!" Doc'll trade her attack for a harsh GLARE at Indra through the portal, and finishing up clearing her own immobilization.
That will end the turn though since she's not got enough actions to attack :P
Trapmaster Indra: NEW ROUND
+1/2 valor
First, attack rolls vs those still in effect fields!
Dex
15 vs prinny
12 vs sentry gun
Trapmaster Indra: 14 vs Nocebo
Prinny Squad: 20 Dex. PRIN LIKE THE WIND
Yakiba: 18 Dex defense
Prinny Squad: IT WORKED
Trapmaster Indra: The fuck
Nocebo: 11 Int! sub!
Yakiba: The point-defense microbullets were a good investment
Mammon: This particular Prinny is untouchable.
Nocebo: ah crap
Trapmaster Indra: 31 damage :x
Mammon: Could it be.... all this time, the legendary Pringer X...?!?
No.
Nocebo: goddamnit.
Yakiba: ...oh, wait, I guess that was a 17. NO MATTER.
Mammon: Just lucky.

Nocebo will never escape this square.
Yakiba: ...still no matter.
Trapmaster Indra: That is what Indra was designed to so
Nocebo: "Locusts. I'll unleash a plague of locusts."
Trapmaster Indra: She prepares another trap.
and....
Nocebo: "That's a good angelic revenge, right? Dad'll be proud..."
Elly: "...maybe."
Trapmaster Indra: Pulls out a pair of pom-poms. And is suddenly dressed as a cheerleader. "Come on, Countess! You've got this you can win! You're the best, the greatest! Play these demons like a violin!"
Countess Alesone: "R-right! Not giving up!"
Trapmaster Indra: Alesone gets +1 to attack and defense rolls
End turn
Mammon: "Okay, rhyming is a death sentence."
"I CANNOT abide this."
Nocebo: ..."I want those pom-poms."

Elly has a sign that reads "5."
Trapmaster Indra: "OKAY HOW DARE YOU?"
"THAT WAS WORTH AT LEAST A NINE"

Elly reconsiders.
Nocebo: "Elly is the Eastern-nethereuropean judge."
Elly: She now has a sign that reads. "7"
Trapmaster Indra: "BETTER"
Countess Alesone: "..."
"Indra?"
Trapmaster Indra: "Yes ma'am?"
Countess Alesone: "... J-just focus on finishing them. Please."
Trapmaster Indra: "...Of course ma'am!"
Yakiba: Well, let's get back to slip stance first of all; being this close means he's likely an easy target and that's Not Good.
And, presuming there's not a trap sprung...
swing around the back
Trapmaster Indra: There is... not
Yakiba: aaaaand let loose a hydraulic punch 15 Muscle vs Indra
Trapmaster Indra: 13 dex sub
Hit!
Yakiba: Not using Battle Analysis?
Trapmaster Indra: Nope
Yakiba: Right there, thank you
"Back to the penalty grid for you."
Trapmaster Indra: 70 damage
Jeez
Mannfred: "And so she returns!"
Prinny Squad: FIRST OFF
Trapmaster Indra: Good move it where it can do nothing
Perf
Indra approves
Prinny Squad: The Immortal Prinny runs crying out of the immediate danger zone but manages to stay close to Nocebo.
Nocebo: "Hey dood. You come to help?"
Prinny Squad: WHERE IT CAN, IN FACT
Silently, sweatily present her with a chocoolate bar.
Trapmaster Indra: "OKAY YOU CAN'T HAVE THREE HEALERS THAT IS CHEATING"
Prinny Squad: "PRINNIES DON'T COUNT AS TEAM MEMBERS, OR PEOPLE"
Yakiba: "That's a fact."
Nocebo: "I am a delicate flower of battlefield medicine and I need Chocolate delivered to me."
Mammon: *MAMMON SAID THAT

Nocebo noms.
Mammon: He's also firing a shotgun blast at Alesone. No bonus from the dark against her, right
?
Trapmaster Indra: +40 health
Nocebo: she may get chocolate all over her face from that.
Mammon: 21 Dex
Trapmaster Indra: It's not a bonus, it's a negative on her defense. BUT she has darksight so nope.
You, however
take -1 for attacking somebody in the dark
Mammon: -1, right.
Countess Alesone: 18 Dex evade!
Trapmaster Indra: +1 for the boost
but still 20 vs 19
Countess Alesone: "Gah!"
Mammon: "In the words of my people:"
"BLAM."
Trapmaster Indra: 52 damage
"Countess!!!"
Mammon: And that there is a full set of actions.
Countess Alesone: "Grr!"
Trapmaster Indra: Elly's go
Elly: mhm, I'm deciding!
Nocebo: it's fine
doc has chocolate.
Elly: "Nocebo."
Says a rather battered Elly.
Nocebo: "Don't worry about me. Just...use the portal to snipe somebody?"
Elly: She nods.
"I'm going in."
"If I don't make it..."
"...tell my books. I love them."
Mannfred: "JUST SHUT UP AND KILL SOMETHING ALREADY!"
Nocebo: "That's unacceptable. I would die before I told all the books that."
Elly: (its true)
"Mammon, Duck."
She doesn't wait for him to respond before firing off some black ink pens at the archer-in-the-shade.
18
Mammon: "What the DAMMIT ELLY"
Elly: dex! sorry
Countess Alesone: 14 Dex evade!
"What on..."
Trapmaster Indra: 38 damage
Elly: She's been shocked. She's been trapped. She's been shot. She's been hit with giant rocks.
Frankly

Elly is DONE WITH THIS SHIP :<

Countess Alesone takes several hits from the pens, wincing in pain.
Yakiba: and I believe that was a poison pen letter, wasn't it?
Elly: it was~
Trapmaster Indra: 13 damage per round
Anything else?
Elly: Yeah. That other girl.
She's a bit too supportive.
So lets cut her off a bit.
And that's it!
Trapmaster Indra: Mannfred, roll for ur grid!
Mannfred: 14 the grid gets off one last zap while Mannfred continues to lose his goddamn mind
Trapmaster Indra: 15
You forgot the +1 again
so it's actually a hit
Mannfred: yeah, I was just gonna say
Trapmaster Indra: 22 damage
Mannfred: "Yes! Do you see now?! Everything that has occurred up to this point has been by my design! There is no move you can make, no action you can perform, that I haven't already chosen for you! Your life is forever in my hands!"
"Welcome to the office, kiddo!" [[1d10+10}} aaaand blasting her
Trapmaster Indra: "You... you truly are a demon!"
Mannfred: 13 whoops
Trapmaster Indra: +11 not 10
Which move?
15 tho
so
Mannfred: Hostile Takeover
gonna go ahead and overdrive that tho
Trapmaster Indra: o
Nocebo: "Mannfred. Is this. The first time for you?"
Trapmaster Indra: Moving where?

Nocebo knew her drugs were good, but she may need to put Manny on cold turkey.
Elly: If she was feeling better, Elly would be impressed.
Trapmaster Indra: (Protip, that barrier is totes damaging)
Mannfred: WELP
Yakiba: (oooh, it's Violent?)
Trapmaster Indra: [77+11-29]] damage
-7
Oh come on
59
Mannfred: I can't believe I just healed her
Trapmaster Indra: THERE we go
"No.... I never... got to..... tell the commander...."
WHUMP
Countess Alesone: "Indra!"
Trapmaster Indra: But
AS she falls
A small rod pops up from a remote location
Final Attack go
Nocebo: aw crap
actual Final Attack?
Trapmaster Indra: dex attacks
14 vs Yakiba
15 vs Elly
18 vs Mammon
Mammon: 16 Dex
Yakiba: 17 Dex defense.
Mammon: Overdriving.
Yakiba: Generating enough force to take his entire body off the ground for the split second needed.
Elly: Oh gosh, 50-50
today this hasn't been going well x.x
17
Yakiba: You won the flip!
Elly: ./few
Trapmaster Indra: and with Indra gone, the trap doesn't have the magic to maintain its lightning
Countess Alesone: "..."

Countess Alesone looks at the three attackers next to her. Then to Indra, and the other fallen soldiers.
Countess Alesone: "... It seems I have no choice."

Countess Alesone disappears. Followed by a similar stealth seeming to come over Indra. Followed, not that you necessarily know it, by Alesone FREAKING FLEEING.
Mammon: "...Do you think she's still here?"
Nocebo: "...I'm still seeing double, did we just win?"
Trapmaster Indra: And she was right by the edge of the map, too. Bye Alesone.
Elly: "Mannfred is going to owe us something nice to eat after this..."
Yakiba: "We've seen the last of her for today, at least."
Mannfred: "Run! Run, and know that I have bested you! See the shadow of my might follow you as you retreat! Know that I am all-powrful! I am inviincible! I am... I... am..."
"Very tired, all of a sudden."
"I think I might need to lie down for awhile."
Yakiba: "I don't actually know what the crash from that is like. Good luck with that!"

Mannfred just straight-up collapses
Countess Alesone: (Yeah. Alesone basically decided to save her lieutenant before she got to low enough HP to flat-out die. XD)
Mammon: "Dammit, he's not gonna be fun anymore."
Narrator: Hey, Mannfred.
RING. RING.
VIDEO PHONE CALL.

Mannfred finds just enough energy to pull out his phone and answer
Mannfred: "Hello...?"
Prinwise: "Holy COW Mannfred!"
Nocebo: "oh my god, can't I just have five minutes?"
Prinwise: "Your face is all over the news!"
Mannfred: "Wha?"

Nocebo falls back on the ground.

Mannfred isn't really all there right now
Prinwise: Prinwise turns the phone so that Mannfred can see the news (it's a video call so woo)
Mannfred: "Yes! Do you see now?! Everything that has occurred up to this point has been by my design! There is no move you can make, no action you can perform, that I haven't already chosen for you! Your life is forever in my hands!"
"Oh yeah. I did say that."
Zep Courson: "...With this confession that Mannfred is behind the war with the humans, I have no choice."
"I am offering a reward of ten trillion HL to whoever can bring him to justice."
"Dear or alive."
Dead*
Yakiba: oh.
Narrator: Mammon. RING. RING.

Mannfred just kinda... curls up into a ball
Mannfred: "Of course. Of course. Nothing can ever go right around here."
Mammon: Mammon picks up.
Yumi: "HEY! Uh, boss! Cool guy! My favorite buddy?"
Elly: Mannfred: Nothing really matters~ anyone can see~ nothing really matters~ nothing really matters~ nothing really matters to meee~
Mammon: "Yeah yeah, you." His eyes are a bit glazed over right now.
Yumi: "Are you, uh, interested in a rescue operation?"
Mannfred: any way the wind bloooooows~
Mammon: "Go on."
Nocebo: okay enough of that Bohemian rap.
Yumi: "SO. You know how I'm working with Rosenqueen Co. now, right?"
"Well, I was visiting Rosenqueen, Co. HQ, and. Uh. We're kind of. Under attack."
"By humans."
"And some... other things."
"So please come save me?"
Mammon: "How much?"
Yumi: "All my shares in Rosenqueen, Co. And whatever the boss throws in."
Rosenqueen, Co.'s shares are always high. Naturally.
Mammon: "I've got another job lined up right now, but... eeeeh, I can multitask."
Elly: Elly hops up to Mammon's phone "Throw in a weekend at a hot springs spa and you've got a deal."
Yumi: "Done!"
Nocebo: "Oh god, I could use that."
Elly: Elly gives Nocebo a quiet thumbs up.

Mannfred lets out a quiet noise, sort of like a slowly dying animal
Mammon: "Alright, everybody, we're going to fight more humans!"

Nocebo stands up, wincing. "Oh god, I still have an arrow in me..."
Mammon: "And then maybe other things."
Elly: "Getting paid?"
Mannfred: "Do we have to? I still need some time to reoup."
"And... think about some things."
*recoup
Mammon: "Yes, you have to."
Nocebo: "You tripped balls off your own endorphines so hard you thought you were some kind of hyper-genius mastermind."
"you have to come with us, if only so I can make sure you don't explode."
Mammon: "Don't worry, I won't let anybody capture you."
"Or kill, whatever."
Mannfred: "Well, I know for certain that I'm at least one of those things still, but fine, whatever."
Elly: (She whispers to Mammon "He's worth too much?")
Narrator: In the blink of an eye, Mannfred has gone from the Netherworld's hero to its number one wanted criminal. Such is the sway of public opinion in the Netherworld!
What awaits our party when they venture into the heart of New Hell City and the Rosenqueen, Co.'s headquarters!?
Next week, we find out!
Shika (GM): ANYWAY SORRY THAT RAN A BIT LONG GUYS
But you know what you win for being awesome?
A level-up.
Elly: s'fine! poor Elly though xD
oh yay~
Mammon: Sweet.
Elly: RIP Indra
Your fangirling will be missed ;w;
Countess Alesone: ("Medic!!!"
Yakiba: Unfortunately I feel like the implication is that she'll be back.
Elly: ...crud
Yakiba: That's gonna be trouble.
Nocebo: did we at least
get the pom-poms?
Shika (GM): Indra was very annoying to fight wasn't she
whoops
that was accidental I swear (it wasn't)
Nocebo: but also satisfying to take down as a result.
Elly: I think for me it was the fact that Elly dodged one thing tonight xD
Yakiba: whereas I got hit once and then proceeded to avoid Everything for the rest of the battle
Oh, hey, Fast skills are valid at level 3 now
Shika (GM): yup welcome to level 7
which is what Alesone was
NekoIncardine: If Alesone gets a chance to return, I'll be glad to play her. Unless it's during the Faire weekends, since I won't be handy then x_x
Shika (GM): I'll see if I can fit it in /wink
Yakiba: also I really should retrain out Team Tactics
It's not useful in this team full of ranged attackers
Nocebo: well
I was thinking of gettin Nocebo team tactics as well
But she's a freaking glacier on this team
so slow to move anywhere.
Shika (GM): But thank u guys for playing and seeing this fight thru
next week, you get to run into some old friends
NekoIncardine: :O
Good luck
Nocebo: oh boy
Mammon: HM.
Elly: Does Yumi still only have 1 HP?
Shika (GM): yes
Elly: DON'T DIE YUMI
Mannfred: I hope we just meet Death Flag again
Shika (GM): no you won't see him again until the final battle of arc 4
where he is resurrected as a dark god to wreak vengeance
Mammon: Death Flag, who died as a zomie, is now a Double Zombie.
*zombie.
Mannfred: a zombie ghost
Yakiba: a zombie goast
leave this place
("but this is my house", said the zombie goast)
Mannfred: Countess Alesone, saver of humens
Shika (GM): ANYWAY that was fun times guys
but it time to go
o7
catch y'all next week
Mammon: Yep! Bye.
Shika (GM): or tomorrow
Mannfred: seeya!
Nocebo: seeya tomorow
Yakiba: indeed thank you
Elly: Elly quietly sets up a rock.
She then sets a sign that reads. "Better Mannfred." The sign has an arrow pointing to the rock.
Elly stops to consider.
...
She takes out a marker and draws on the rock.
The rock now has this face:
Elly: http://emojipedia-us.s3.amazonaws.com/cache/2e/d3/2ed3c66a208e654dcb6db81e2c158f66.png
Satisfied, she waits for everybody else to show up.
Shika (GM): I have TWO cats in my lap
be jealous
Comrade Q.: I am SEVERELY jealous, you have no idea
Shika (GM): i have been trapped here for four hours
my leg is asleep
i'm thirsty
but they're so cute /sob
Comrade Q.: it's a fair trade tbh
Vehrec: drawing some new attacks?
Argent B.: I'm practicing
I found out that if you press Shift + click, it'll fill the box rather neatly :o
Works on circles too, if you click Shift + Alt + click
Awe: I have the "fun" job of occasionally trying to reset the water heater...
be right back from that
Shika (GM): aw'ight who we missin'
Comrade Q.: The Netherworld's Least Punctual Mercenary, i think
Awe: yeah that sounds about right
Vehrec: and any of our potential 'villians' who want to sit in.
Awe: or, possibly, this session's guest, if there is one
Shika (GM): no guests this week
Argent B.: aw
well, we'll manage :3
Shika (GM): we'll be starting in five minutes even without a mercenary
Vehrec: that greatly simplifies the question of who to give super-medicine to.

Nocebo has a sign with Mannfred's face on it that says "DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN DRUGS."

Elly looks at this.

Elly tacks a sticky note that reads "Man."

Mannfred doesn't say anything, but manages to look slightly more offended than usual
Yakiba: It's one of those around-the-neck shaming signs, is it
Elly: ./nod nod
Nocebo: Look Mannfred, you earned this with your crazed pronunciations last time.
Ethan: SORRY
Shika (GM): WHOA JUST IN TIME
Ethan: Got all wrapped up in something.
Yakiba: like, if he's wearing one of those it'd say 'I took responsibility for a Netherworld-spanning war while high on painkillers'
Mannfred: what's wrong with a little wide-eyed ranting? isn't that what being a demon's all about?
Elly: It was Overwatch, wasn't it?
Yakiba: The open beta for that is no longer... well, open, so... probably not?
Mammon: That'd be hard.
Shika (GM): ALL RIGHT SO WHO'S READY TO BEGIN
Elly: I don't follow xD
Mammon: READY.
Yakiba: >The GM has initiated a ready check.
Nocebo: those notropics are supposed to make you more clearheaded not... that.
Yakiba: Are you ready? >Yes
Elly: wait!!
...okay I got everybody's attention
Cary on Shika :3
Nocebo: I finished watching SU 20 minutes ago.
Narrator: WHEN WE LAST LEFT OUR, uh, heroes?
Elly: I think at this point we can just qualify them as plot-centered troublemakers
Narrator: They had decimated the archer division of the knights
Mannfred was announced the villain behind the human invasion thanks to some out of context quotes
and an obscenely high price was put on his head!

Nocebo engages pendant mode and goes 'Actually decimation means 'to kill one-tenth of.'
Mannfred: those quotes were still pretty bad even in context
Narrator: then they received word that Rosenqueen, Co's company headquarters was under attack!
Mammon: "NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD."
Yakiba: To no one's surprise, Nocebo is beginning to pick up characterization that would not be out of place on her girlfriend.

Elly isn't paying attention, but is somehow pleased?
Nocebo: If Rosenqueen is destroyed, how will we buy stuff?
Narrator: YOU WON'T
Nocebo: GASP
Elly: "Can we hurry? I kind of like Yumi."
"...also I really want that spa vacation..."
Nocebo: "No sense in looking less than ideal for this!"

Nocebo is checking her makeup and fixing minor imperfections...and also battle-damage.
Mannfred: "We're going to be waiting awhile, then."

Nocebo snaps her compact closed.
Elly: "I never understood why demons felt the need to do that."
Nocebo: "The need to do what? Look the best you can?"

Nocebo thinks about beauty tips for Elly.
Mannfred: "There's a lot of really nasty things I could say with regards to that, but I for one am very much interested in seeing to it that this valuable pillar of the Netherworld economy doesn't crash down on top of us."
"So if we could perhaps move things along here?"

Elly probably uses glue for lip gloss.
Narrator: So what's the plan?
Mannfred: we were supposed to have a plan? dammit
Nocebo: We have very little information other than 'Humans are attacking Rosenqueen.'
Narrator: Rosenqueen, Co.'s HQ is in the center of the city, one of you is Wanted.
Mammon: Bait.
Nocebo: ...
we disguise Manfred.
Mannfred: the obvious solution is to pack Mannfred in a cardboard box and pose as delivery demons
Nocebo: shave his head and take away his glasses or something.
...the box may also work.
Elly: We could put Mannfred in a dress maybe
Mammon: Nah, the box idea sounds best so far.
Yakiba: It does
Nocebo: Crossdressing jokes are insensitive anyways.
Mannfred: besides, it wouldn't embarrass him nearly as much as you think it would
Yakiba: Yakiba, non-master of stealth that he is, is thinking there's not much better than a box for concealing oneself from enemies in open spaces
Nocebo: "Should we put airholes in the box, or just hope he can survive on the air in there with him?"
Elly: "...we probably shouldn't kill him..."
Mammon: Air holes are suspicious though.
Mannfred: "I'd prefer breathable air, generally, but I've survived worse than that."
Mammon: We're calling it a box of staples.
Mannfred: "Definitely give me air holes, though. Definitely."
Narrator: All right guys, we all remember how to do challenge scenes? I hope so there was one like two sessions ago
Nocebo: rolling initiative: 13
Mannfred: maybe a tutorial from out good pal Prinwise would jog out memories
Mammon: 13
Elly: 16
Mannfred: 10
Prinwise classic: RING RING RING CELL PHONE
Yakiba: 15

Mannfred answers, kinda confused since he's SURE he put his phone on silent
Narrator: 17
Yakiba: (meanwhile I'll be back in a minute again)
Prinwise classic: "There are three things you need to keep an eye on."
"First of all, your progress! Which is how close to Rosenqueen, Co.'s HQ you are."
"Get it to 10 and you make it there!"
Nocebo: "I guess Chase represents how Keystone Cops things have gotten?"
Prinwise classic: "Notoriety is how much people are looking for you. It starts at 5 and gives you a penalty to lowering or fighting demons chasing you."
"Chase is how close you are to actually being caught."
"You can lower notoriety by throwing people off the trail somehow, or by somehow redirecting the heat on you."
"You can lower chase by getting away from the demons after you, obviously."
"I think that's it from me."
"Good luck!"
Prinwise classic: Click.
Mannfred: "...I don't think I ever gave him my number."
Nocebo: "Whatever, look for a gate, I'm not walking back to town through the Trap Woods.

Elly considers getting a phone, but seeing how often Mannfred gets called, also wonders if its worth the trouble...
Imp: Somewhere, you can hear voices. "That guy was told to come out to this forest, right!? That money's ours!" 16 intuition to try and find you losers.
Somebody roll to oppose.
Mammon: "Must have got it one of those times we snooped through your phone while you were asleep."
Mannfred: "What?! You--!"
Mammon: 12

Mannfred goes deathly silent
Mammon: Why.
Nocebo: Welp
Imp: Chase is up to 2!
Elly's turn.
Mammon: "Shit, everybody shut up!"
Nocebo: "why are you shouting?"
Mannfred: "Because he's been looking through my phone! I can't believe you!"
Elly: Elly is going to go ahead and scout around. While this is a good way to get info, her naturally unassuming and nonthreatening nature may throw people off her trail.
I'm gonna roll Aura if that's okay?
Imp: sure
Elly: 16
Imp: trying to lower chase or notoriety?
Mammon: "You must be very skeptical."
Elly: Notoriety!
Imp: 15
Success
Mammon: "I've given you plenty of reason to believe."
Elly: Elly returns back. "I heard voices, but I didn't see very many people."
"I think its okay to leave, if you want."
Imp: Yakiba
Mannfred: "I was speaking figuratively. I can absolutely believe you've looked through my things before, and will do so again."
Yakiba: "Then we'll leave immediately, and move as quickly. Agreed?"
Elly: "Oh, did he find out about all the measurements I've been taking while he was asleep?"
Mammon: "It's not my fault! I didn't know you very well, so I thought you might have had valuables!"
Yakiba: Oh, forget agreement then RACE TO THE FINISH 14 (Dex)
Mannfred: "I haven't seen a paycheck in weeks, why would I have anything you'd want?"
Mammon: "Hindsight is 20/20!"
Imp: NOPE not gud enough
You make little headway
Mannfred: "Oh, this coming from the cyclops!"
Mammon: "Wow. Wow."
Nocebo: "Stop bickering, you're just making more noise so people can find us."
Mammon: "Right, about that,"
Mannfred: "Well, as long as I'm complaining, could we not have sprung for a bigger box? It's getting cramped in here."
Mammon: "Prinnies! We need a distraction! FAR AWAY."
Prinny Squad: "Do we have to come back, dood?"
Mammon: "JUST GO."
Prinny Squad: Five minutes later, there's an explosion in the distance.
20 Int
Imp: what is this trying to change
Mammon: Notoriety.
Imp: 13
Crit success!
Elly: That is one distracting distraction
Imp: You now only take -1 to alter chase scores
Nocebo!
Nocebo: right.
let's get this package delivered.
"Elly! I need a package label, I'm gonna do some forgery."
Elly: Oh, okay.
"Oh, okay."

Elly takes out her pad.
Mannfred: "Just make sure you label me as something nice."
Elly: "There, done."

Nocebo grabs the label and carefully attempts to craft a delivery order that will get the package delivered...to Rosenqueen HQ.
Nocebo: "Perishable...Spider foood...Express Delivery..."
Mannfred: "Okay, not the worst thing, but I could think of better."
Nocebo: "Deliver to: The Office of the President."

Nocebo slaps the label on the box and sees if it attracts postage officials. 20
Imp: And again, what meter are you trying to affect?
Nocebo: Trying to get this box delivered, so Progress.
Imp: Crit success!
Progress to 3
the box seems very legit and has made it out of the forest to the first distribution center
Nocebo: Wooooo go box.
hope they respected the 'this way up' sticker.
Imp: 2
they do
Nocebo: because if they did, Mannfred should be standing on his head.
Imp: Mannfred, you're in a box in a NHC package distribution center while on your head
What do?
Mannfred: okay, clearly there's not a whole lot he can do while in the box that wouldn't completely blow his cover
so he'll try and stay as quiet and unassuming as he can for the time being, looking to all the Netherworld like a normal, conspicuously heavy box 12 Int to lower Notoriety
cool
Imp: 17
Crit failure
Back to -2 to all rolls vs chase
Elly: Even in a box, Mannfred can't hide his obnoxious aura
Mannfred: he just can't stop complaining
Martial Artist: "Why'd I even take a job in the post office...."
Wrestler: "Your guess is as good as mine, jabroni."
Martial Artist: "Wait. Is it just me, or is this package REALLY obnoxious...?"
Wrestler: ".........."
21 to increase chase
Somebody roll at -2
...............welp
Mammon: Well this is doomed.
Nocebo: 13Doc's note is super good.
...not good enough though I guess.
Wrestler: Crit failure! +2 to Chase
Yakiba: These random postal muscles are surprisingly diligent
Wrestler: "Yeah wow this is SUPER obnoxious."
Martial Artist: "It smells like free money...."
Mannfred: "Hey! I'll have you know I'm considered very personable in some circles, and--"
Elly: Elly walks into the distribution center. She rings the bell.
Martial Artist: "............"
Elly: She rings the bell again.
She rings the bell again.
Wrestler: "HEY WE BUSY"
Nocebo: oh my god.
Elly: Again.
Again.
Wrestler: "WE HAVE A TALKING BOX IN HERE"
Elly: Elly walks to the back room.
"Yeah, that's mine."
Mammon: "Read the label, jackass!"
"It's spider food."
Elly: "Our family has been using that box for years for our passive-aggressive feud against each other."
Mammon: "You expect demon spiders to eat things that are already dead?"
Wrestler: Roll it Elly
Elly: What am I rolling xD
Wrestler: And what are you trying to affect
I HAVE NO IDEA
Int prolly?
Resolve?
Elly: Notoriety
Nocebo: Guile is probably Int, force of personality is resolve?
Elly: Resolve is good, these bruisers are super imposing!!
11
...
super imposing
Wrestler: 12
WELL
Mannfred: oh my god
Yakiba: Dice. Dice why.
Wrestler: "THAT SOUNDS SUSPICIOUS"
Elly: "I-It is...?"
Martial Artist: "THIS IS ALL SUSPICIOUS"

Mannfred is trying his best not to freak right the hell out

Elly is too, and is probably doing a wrose job of it than Mannfred, tbh
Martial Artist: "SUSPICIOUS...."
Wrestler: "Wait, hold up."
"You remember that flier that maid was distributing earlier?"
He holds out a flier for the martial artist.
Martial Artist: "Oh, yeah. Mannfred, the demon hero turned demon criminal."
Elly: "That's a lie!"
Martial Artist: "It says, 'This is a picture of Mannfred', okay... 'This is a picture of Mannfred with a shaved head and removing his glasses....' "
"There's a picture of him in a dress, too. Oh, and Mannfred disguised in a box...."
".........It looks JUST like this box!"
Elly: "!"
Nocebo: what
how powerful is this maid?
Mannfred: Quietly, from inside the box: "Dammit!"
Mammon: "...................................."
Mannfred: "I knew the box was a bad idea!"
Elly: "I'm sure there's uhm, a very, uh... good explanation for this..."

Elly is sweating profusely.
Nocebo: we need a ninja to provide it
or steal the box.
Yakiba: This seems like a Smoke Bomb and Get Out situation.
And of course taking the box with them.
13 Dex vs Chase
_diiiiiice_
Martial Artist: -2, so 11
19
Yakiba: DIIIIIIIIICE
Mannfred: it didn't have to be this way
Martial Artist: Crit failure, Chase to 6
The martial artist catches the smoke bomb!
Elly: Elly was about to scream "CHEESE IT" but covers her mouth when she sees the bomb caught.
Martial Artist: Protip, it might be easier to try and get progress to 10 rather than lower chase
"Now I'm definitely opening this box!!!"
Yakiba: Well, considering I haven't been successful at either yet...
Nocebo: (that roll would have been unsuccessful either way, but can Progress go down?)
Martial Artist: nope
Mammon: Mammon quickly--very quickly--flashes his wallet. "We're with the FBI (Federal Bureau of Immorality), okay? This package is an important witness, and YOU'RE obstructing our investigation!"
20 Dex to progress.
Martial Artist: Crit success!
They have no choice but to comply with the investigation, but their suspicions remain!
Nocebo: flashing it so fast that nobody can see the contents, I see, I see...

Elly might be quietly hiding behind Mammon because... her resolve is shot tbh
Nocebo: clearly we need a ride to get to town though...
well, technically we're in town, but outskirts
ugh.
Let's steal a car.
Or a tank
Or a UFO
Martial Artist: I should also remind you than you can use ur valor
Nocebo: 16 Yeah, yeah, let's find some wheels to jack.
Or treads, something that can get us some Progress!
Martial Artist: With that score, you can score an old, beaten-up jeep.
and raise progress to 6
Nocebo: What do I get if I overdrive?
Martial Artist: 6
A tank.
Nocebo: YES
Martial Artist: And progress to 7
Mammon: "Inconspicuous."

Nocebo hotwires a tank and drives it up to the others.
Mannfred: "Can we even fit all of us in there?"
"More importantly, can we fit me in there?"
Martial Artist: This is the Netherworld, tanks are about as common as Hummers in oours.
Nocebo: "We strap the box behind the turret, Mammon take's the loader seat, Yakiba the gunner, and Elly get's the commander's cupola."
Mannfred: "That seems like the absolute possible place to put an unsecured package."
Yakiba: "What about you?"
Mannfred: "But I'm just a box! So what do I know?"

Nocebo revs the engine.
Mannfred: *absolute worst
Nocebo: ((Behind the turret is where real tank crews sleep.)
"If the box has any suggestion..."
Mannfred: "I suggest that we get some directions." Mannfred pulls up the GPS app on his phone and tries to find a good, slightly less lethal than usual route to Rosenqueen HQ 18 Int to make Progress
Nocebo: BEEP BEEP, remember to use your blinkers.
Martial Artist: Progress is now to 8!
Valkyrie: "Excuse me!" There's a roadblock ahead.
"Have to check for any suspicious troublemakers or packages."
19 to increase Chase, somebody oppose at -2
wow
Nocebo: Mammon, blow the Valkyrie off.
and by blow off, I mean blow up with the gun.
(not that we can beat that...)
Mammon: Is that our play?
I'll do it.
...Nah, the lack of any chance to succeed kinda ruins it.
Elly: Elly tries the trick that Mammon made, conjuring up some face passports and trying to pass them off to the Valkyrie. 16
Valkyrie: so close
"Heeeeey...."
Elly: "CHEESE IT!!"
Valkyrie: But your tank is already rolling
Elly's turn
Elly: In the commander's copula, Elly finds an instructor's manual for the tank. She's going to flip through it and sees a heading that says "overdrive." Apparently it was one of the switches... ahh... there! (Hopefully?) 11
...that might have been the a/c
Nocebo: the AC is now on Overdrive.
Valkyrie: It is.
Nocebo: Everyone in the tank is freezing.
Elly: ...
"I think its better this way."
Yakiba: "I have an idea. If I freeze the road in front of us, we can gain speed from sliding on the ice! I just need to reroute the air conditioning into the turret, but I read the manual while everyone else was taking their turn so all I have to do is move the wires."
16 Dex vs Progress
Valkyrie: Progress to 9!
Unless you wanted to overdrive
Yakiba: LET'S DO IT
Nocebo: "Oh jeez, this thing is hard to control!"
Valkyrie: WOOOOOOOOOO
Nocebo: "I think we're gonna skid right through that wall-
Mannfred: "Guys? Guys, what's going on out there?!"
Valkyrie: YOU SLIDE ALL THE WAY TO A STOP IN FRONT OF ROSENQUEEN CO
Yakiba: "Everyone out of the tank now, go go go go"

Nocebo drops the tank into park and squeezes out of her personal hatch.

Mannfred springs out of the box like the world's worst birthday surprise
Narrator: howEVER
as you all pile out
Mammon: "That was a perfectly good talking box."
Narrator: there seems to be one figure in the way
A hobo, by the looks of it.
Sleeping in torn robes on the pavement.
A hat over her face.
Warden's Hat: "Oh, it's you guys again."
Carolina: "Nnnnn?"
Blink, blink.
Mammon: "Oh, hell."
Nocebo: "Hey, you're not dead!"
Mannfred: "Yknow, we'd really love to sit back and reminisce, but we're kind of in the middle of something here."
Carolina: "It's... you!"
"YOU JERKS!"
"YOU MADE ME LOSE MY JOB!"
Yakiba: "You didn't deserve your job."
Elly: "Oh! Hello Warden's Hat!"
"...former Warden's Hat?"
Warden's Hat: "'lo."
Carolina: "I am going to murder you....!"
".....Or...."
Nocebo: "Find a new job."
Carolina: "What's even the point?"
"It won't get me my job back, will it?"
She sighs heavily.
Elly: "You can join us, maybe?"
?????: "No, but it could net you ten trillion HL."
Carolina: "Say what?"
Zombianca: "Yup."

Mannfred buries his head in his hands
Zombianca: "Such an amazing number, isn't it?"
Mannfred: "It can't be easy. I should've known, noting can ever be that easy!"
Zombianca: "You might be competing for it, though."
Mammon: "Oh, look, it's the cause of all disease and misfortune in the Netherworld."
Yakiba: "I was expecting you to be the... wait, no, I just realized why that wouldn't make sense."
Nocebo: "What would you even spend that much on? It's too big a number, it has to be a lie."
Martial Artist: "WE'RE HERE!"
Mammon: "What brought you slithering out of your sludge pit?"
Valkyrie: "I WANT THAT MONEY!"
Wrestler: "YEEEEAH JABRONI!"
Yakiba: "Although given that you're the cause of all disease and misfortune it would have made sense for you to be disguised as a hobo."
BF: (oh my god I love Wrestler)
Zombianca: "I'm just doing my new job, that's all."
"I'm the Netherworld's Greatest Maid...."
"Now serving OverCEO Zep Courson."
"That's all."
Mammon: "Mannfred, your boss is pond scum."
"Just so we're clear."
Mannfred: "I've been coming to that realization, yes."
Mammon: "At any rate!"
Mannfred: "If nothing else, at least his motivations are pretty cut-and-dry."
Mammon: "Why don't you all go home? As of now, I am forced to declare that nobody's getting rich off Mannfred except me!"
"Mammon, the Netherworld's Most Competitve Mercenary!"
Mannfred: "I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted."
Zombianca: "Oh, look at this. Mammon has a price on his head, too."
Frowns. "Although... it is far lower than Mannfred's."
"Really, not even worth it."
"Fifty HL?"
Mammon: Mammon freezes.
Nocebo: "Okay, let's get it over with."

Mannfred snickers and doesn't even try to hide it
Zombianca: She tsks.
Mammon: Then closes his eyes and talks to himself in a low, soothing voice.
Nocebo: "How much are you going to pay for Elly and me, hmm?"
Elly: "You're not going to impress her with that low bounty, Mammon..."
Carolina: "Hey, fifty is fifty. I'll take it if nobody else will!"
Mammon: "She's making it up, she's making it up, she's trying to get into your head, she's making it up..."
Mannfred: "I just checked the bounty listings, she's not making it up."

Mannfred didn't check a single thing
Mammon: "Mannfred."
"Once we kill all of these people, I'm turning you in."
"Probably dead."
Carolina: "I'm not sure you can, if you have a bounty on your own head."
Zombianca: "Even if it's only 50 HL."
Sgt. Prinny: "That's pretty sad, dood."
Mammon: "I BET YOU PLACED IT YOURSELF JUST SO YOU COULD DO THIS"
Nocebo: UUUUGH

Zombianca gives a knowing smile.
Nocebo: "Enough of this."
"Let's just get the fight over with."
Yakiba: "You just don't want competition for your superlativity gimmick, do you?"
Nocebo: "We all know that's what happens next so..."

Elly is busy writing suggestive fiction, she's good.
Warden's Hat: "Yeah, just roll initiative already!"
Yakiba: 21
Mammon: 20, fueled by rage!
Mannfred: 16
Elly: 20
Carolina: Elly, Mammon, rol la straight d10
Nocebo: 10
wow
Carolina: 21
Elly: 9
Zombianca: 23
Sgt. Prinny: 14
jesus christ carolina and zombianca chill
Nocebo: they are thirsty.
...but Elly is Doc's!
Mammon: 2
Yakiba: Zombianca acted pretty chill... so what's the real her like?
Mammon: Yeah I didn't think so.
Mannfred: they're thirsty of dosh
Zombianca: Zombianca starts off!
"Let's start the cleaning."
"Censorship!"
Dexterity weaken as she throws "E" rating stickers at Mammon, Mannfred, and Nocebo
Dex vs
14 Mammon
Zombianca: 19 Mannfred
16 Nocebo
Nocebo: 19 E?
NO thanks!
Mannfred: 18 Aura sub
Mammon: 12 Dex
"SON OF A BISCUIT"
Zombianca: A sub means you're defending at -1 for a weaken
Mannfred and Mammon are now rated E, for Everyone!
And also get -1 to attack.
Elly: It would have required Nocebo to wear a lex sexy outfit ;x
...less
Mannfred: "Okay, I'll concede that this isn't as bad as last time."
"I still have my face for one thing."
Zombianca: "And then let's organize."
She sections herself off with "CLEANING IN PROGRESS" tape.
Mammon: "WHEN THE FUDGE AM I GONNA GET TO DESTROY THIS GUARD-DANK MAID"
Zombianca: +1 valor for being censored v well
Yakiba: "Fine, I have my opponent."
"You very clearly didn't forget about me..."

Carolina draws her scythe.
Yakiba: "Relive your memory...!" 13 Muscle vs Carolina
Carolina: Dex sub! 17
WHACK as she blocks with her scythe
Nocebo: dang, she's been leveling up.
Elly: Being a hobo requires more work than being a warden apparently
Yakiba: "Haaa... this will be harder than I thought. Your joblessness has tempered you..."
Carolina: "Because of you, I've had to leave the comfort of my office slash bedroom!"
"Of course it's tempered me!"
Yakiba: His legs slide around, never ceasing, so that at any time he can slip out of the way of an attack...
(that's a Slip Stance)
(and the end of the turn, Carolina go)
Carolina: "My Hat, siphon his stance!"
Warden's Hat: "This sounds very fishy but okay."
Yakiba: An Effect Capture? She really is getting better.
Warden's Hat: Roll Aura or Intuition! 21
...............
Elly: Daaang
Yakiba: Or don't since I can't win that roll
Elly: hobo life has been good for her

Carolina takes on his Slip Stance
Yakiba: Friction resumes.
Carolina: "Now let me show you... my upgraded Fire spell!"
Valkyrie: "WHOA HELL"
Carolina: Aura attacks!
21 vs Yakiba
12 vs the prinny
12 vs Mammon
16 vs Mannfred
20 vs Nocebo
Yakiba: 11 Muscle sub since I can't win
DIIIIIIIIIIIIICE
Carolina: that is, in fact, a crit
Mannfred: "Nope! Nope nope nope nope nope!" 16
Carolina: and a hit on Mannfred
Mannfred: so close
Nocebo: 12 resolve sub
NOT A CRIT.
Mammon: 12 21 Dex both.
Wow.
Wow.
Mannfred: why is it like this
what have we done to offend the RNG
Carolina: 105 to Yakiba
46 to Nocebo
The prinny dies
36 to Mannfred
Mammon: Oh well.
Prinny blocks.
Oh I thought the attack that hit was on Mammon but you know. Same exact result.
Carolina: EXACTLY half of Yakiba's health
Yakiba: (It's true, his max is 210)
(however, ow)
Carolina: "I've gotten better."
Elly's turn!
Elly: "Umm..."
"Are... you guys okay?"
Yakiba: "I'm not"
Mannfred: "Is... is that really the question you should be asking right now?!"
"I mean of course you don't care if I'm okay, but it should be pretty plain to see!"
Elly: "Yes... I can attack, but now I'm wondering if I should heal..."
Nocebo: "Attack before the scrubs get a chance to attack!"
"I can handle the healing on the back-end of the turn."
Archer: "Okay, that was very hurtful."

Elly n-nods...
Archer: "You hurt my feelings...."
Yakiba: "Well, tough, this Netherworld only has room for one non-scrub archer."
Elly: Elly takes a few steps toward the direction of the scrubs. (Move 1, Steps: 6)
Yakiba: (Somewhere, Count Whateverone has a fit. Although maybe she's out of the Netherworld by now.)
Elly: She'll them summon a spectral book up in the air, acting as her refraction point
"Sorry, but we can't be having you attack us!!"
Archer: you know that the range of a technique is refracted too right
Elly: Is it?
Nocebo: she didn't.
Archer: It is.
It's completely cast again from the refraction point (with the exception of multiple targets)
:|b
Nocebo: yeah, AOE those dudes!
Elly: 15 Prinny, 18 Valkyrie, 17 Wrestler, 12 Matrial Artist, 19 Imp
Archer: In order
14
17
14
16
14
Archer: The MA survives, the rest ALL DIE
Elly: Elly brushes off her blouse
Martial Artist: "No....!"
"WRESTLER!!!"
"...And some other guys."
Elly: And immediately pulls a Mannfred!!
(Move 2, Steps: 8)

Mannfred feels vaguely insulted, and he's not sure why
Zombianca: It's Mammon's turn. What he gunna do?
Mammon: FIRST, reviving that Prinny.
"You miss your friend?"
Addressing the Martial Artist.
Martial Artist: "Of course I do! We've worked together for six-hundred years!"
Mammon: "Well then, hold still."
Martial Artist: "I'll make you pay!"
Mammon: 17 Dex against her with Shots Fired!
Martial Artist: 14!!!!!
Mammon: Also, 20 against the Archer!
Martial Artist: nope
archer can't even win but 12
Mammon: And 15 against that BRITCH MAID
Martial Artist: Gotta roll core first
Mammon: Right, barriers.
Uhhh 8
Zombianca: 14 barrier core
The barrier stops his guns, but is shredded in the process.

Mammon points to his eyes

Mammon points to Zombianca
Elly: "He's got his eyes on you~~"
Zombianca: "I am. So frightened."
"Truly."
Yakiba: "I recommend now giving her thumbs down, or saying something about a tribe."

Elly has her the next title for the next chapter.
Zombianca: "Oh, an intern."
Nocebo: "maybe some slightly-less tired memes? Just as a thought."
Yakiba: "Oh, only one of those is a meme."
Carolina: "Memes? What do you think this is, a Nippon-Ichi Software game?"
"Get your dialogue game up."
Mannfred: "Okay, I was going to say something cool, but then you all had go go and ruin it." Blastin Zombianca real good 20
"The things I have to put up with."
Zombianca: 16
YUP
Movin' her where?
Mannfred: would it be cool if I threw her into the tank?
Zombianca: yes
62 damage!
"OW."
Mannfred: aaaand making a speedy escape
Nocebo: gaaah
this is so lame, why you gotta move back man.
Yakiba: I'm really the only significantly injured one at this time...

Mannfred gotta do what Mannfred do
Nocebo: Yes, I see that.
Okay, here's what doc's gonna do.
First, she'll drop her heal, since she actually can reach both Mannfred and Yakiba from here without moving.
so they each get 50 HP restored.
Then she moves to there...And drops some nasty stuff of Zombanica's head. An Iodine solution that will stain her white maid outfit. :D 13
"Enjoy being PURPLE!"
Zombianca: 15
Step aside.
Nocebo: curses!
Mammon: "Nice attack. Devastating."
Zombianca: New round! +1 Valor!
Elly: "It was a good try..."
Zombianca: "Hey. Mammon...."
"There's something I want you to know."
Mammon: "Yeah?"
Elly: "Yes yes?"
Zombianca: "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better."
She pulls out a pair of pistols.
"Shots Fired!"
Nocebo: "Oh snap."
Elly: "!!!"
"ANOTHER CHAPTER TITLE!!"
...
Mammon: "GO TO HECK, PLAGIARIZING WITCH"
Elly: *"I said that out loud, didn't I..."
Nocebo: "How many chapters..."
Zombianca: Dex attacks;
17 vs Nocebo
19 vs Mammon
21 vs Prinny 1
20 vs Yakiba
Mammon: "AND LET ME TALK NORMAL"
Mannfred: "For what it's worth, I don't really care."
Nocebo: 14
Yakiba: 11 Still can't win but at least this one can't crit
...so it's just as well that the dice act like this
Mammon: 16 and the Prinny is guaranteed hit anyway.
However, he's adjacent to two of them, so they both are.
"You thought I wouldn't have a backup meatshield?"
"So much for being prepared."
Zombianca: 49 to Yakiba
52 to Nocebo
Nocebo: heh, well, this is what it means to be the tank...
Zombianca: "Not a bad technique. I might keep it."
"Time to clean up another mess." She gestures, and both of Mannfred's interns are swept up with a giant broom.
Mammon: "Looking at your originals, I can't blame you."
Zombianca: 15 vs top intern
20 vs bottom intern
oppose with resolve, aura, or intuition, Mannfred
Mannfred: 15Top 13 Bottom
goddamn
Zombianca: They are both le gone.
"This is what it means to be a maid."
"Able to clean anything."
"Able to perform any task."
Mannfred: "Able to have absolutely no appreciation for my hard work!"
"Do you know how much of a pain it is to set those fools up on the regular?!"
Zombianca: "Your interns should have chosen a better internship."
Yakiba: There's a... slight chuckle?
"You had no way of knowing, but I have a tool for this exact situation!" His knife attack was created with lethal accuracy in mind, and that's exactly what he needs right now! 17 Dexterity vs Carolina
Carolina: Bringing her scythe to bear again. 14 dex
Hit!
42 damage!
Nocebo: wow he go far.
Yakiba: That attack also has Dash and he has 7 Move.
Mannfred: gotta go fast
Yakiba: He's going to borrow some more features from the tank, getting evasive again because his buff got stole... but what else did he do?
Carolina: Slip Stance?
Yakiba: That was one of the things, yes
Carolina: ?
Yakiba: whispering that for the surprise
Carolina: "Are you guys ready for MORE fire?"
"I'll let you see my new Giga fire then!"
A ring of fire sweeps around her.
Aura attacks!
18 vs Nocebo
16 vs Yakiba
Yakiba: 22 Dex sub

Nocebo sacrastically "I LOVE fire!"
Nocebo: [[d10+11] resolve sub come on...
20
Carolina: "Well, then prepare for THIS one...!"
She raises a hand, and...
..........
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
Nocebo: ...
"I can write a prescription for that but I won't bother."
Yakiba: "...you leave yourself far too open."
Carolina: (I love compulsion)
Elly: "Nocebo, are you okay??"
Nocebo: "I'm a little singed, but I'll be fine!"
Elly: "Mmm..."
Undaunted, Elly runs up to Nocebo and Mannfred, drawing on the refraction point and motioning it to move closer to her.
She then pulls out her book and starts to write... and then read aloud...
"Nocebo and Yakiba found themselves caught in a precarious situation. And for what? Why, none other than-- their love for tanks!! Unified in this common resolve, they know that the homeless bum attached to Warden's Hat and Mammon's sort-of-girlfriend can never understand this burning passion within their hearts!! And that gives them renewed resolution to fight!!"
Heals on Nocebo and Yakiba~
Mammon: "FIRST OF ALL"
Carolina: +1 valor
Mammon: "...NO, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START"
Nocebo: "I do like tanks...I thought about going full-professor for a while you know!"
Elly: End turn!
Mammon: Rezzing Prinnies!
And time to get up close and personal with Zombianca.
"Eat shot and go to the Shadow Realm!"
"...I hate you."
15 shogun blast with Flank Attack!
WHY
Yakiba: Because you're E-rated?
Mammon: I ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT SO 14
Zombianca: 17 dex
Mammon: OVERDRIVE
Yakiba: Either way the shogun must be pretty confused right now
Zombianca: Counteroverdrive
Mammon: "Hold still!"
Zombianca: "I think... not!"
Mannfred: "Alright, this is becoming a nuisance." Mannfred reaches up and tries to tear the E rating off of him, sending it flying back to Zombianca 19 to Effect Capture dat weaken
Zombianca: 12
Nocebo: suddenly
Mammon: "WHY CAN YOU HIT HER"
Zombianca: "Oh, fudge."
Nocebo: she is wearing a floor-length skirt.
Mannfred: "I can think of a few reasons. Do you want the whole list?"
Mammon: "SUCK MY DRINK"
Mannfred: "Sorry, not thirsty."
And then he hides behind the pillar like a big ol coward
Yakiba: "You think that's bad, you haven't seen what they do to undead in Nether-China."
Zombianca: Is Mannfred doing anything else?
Mannfred: nope, that was kinda his whole turn
two supports and a move
Nocebo: okay then
Let's start by giving Zombanica the stinkeye. "Hey you. What is the Fifth Cranial Nerve's name?"
"If you can't answer even a basic question like that, how are you gonna be my teaching dummy for autopsies?"
Intimidate 20
Actually
She can intimidate both the enemies, can't she?
Zombianca: Actually?
Yes.
Nocebo: 17 Let's see if the Ex-Warden is a bit freaked out by this as well.
Zombianca: 20 impossible for Zombianca to win wow
17 for Carolina
WOW.
Nocebo: muhahaha
Not done yet though.

Nocebo will charge forward... and draw back her hand for a strike!
Nocebo: "Tai-dai-kai-Strike! True Surgery Technique!" 14
Zombianca: 19
Nocebo: Overdrive!
Zombianca: ...Nope.
...Yup.
80 damage
Nocebo: "Huh...Huhh... You cannot hope to evade my strikes."
Zombianca: New round, +1 valor!
"You say that...."
"........."
Beep. Beep. The alarm on her phone is going off.
"Ah, I'm running late."
Mammon: "DON'T YOU DARE"
Zombianca: "I guess that means I should wrap this up."
She looks a little more serious now.
Uncorks a bottle. "Cleanse!" SPLASHES IT ALL OVER.
It's holy water!
Aura attacks

Zombianca: 18 vs Prinny 1

Elly: She's half-angel, surely...
Nocebo: oh right.
14 Aura defense.
HAHA no
she gets burned extra hard actually.
Zombianca: 56 damage
Yakiba: "But that's hardly my only new trick. Ever seen a tank jump before?"
This is still adressed at Carolina.
"Watch." 17 Muscle vs Carolina
While he grabs at her with his right hand, his left goes for a small remote he'd prepared on his back, causing their ride to be launched into the air probably right on top of her.
Carolina: 17 welp
SO CLOSE YET SO FAR
wait actually I forgot Slip Stance
so
18
Yakiba: Overdrive
Carolina: SO CLOSE YET SO FA- welp
Yakiba: It gets launched so hard it then bounces back to its original position, because that's clearly how physics work.
Carolina: 93 damage!
Yakiba: "You just got up on the wrong side of the bed."
"Oh, wait - there's no right side."
Carolina: "That is... a really rude way.... to wake somebody up...."
Elly: Stonetoned: "ooooooh"
Carolina: Anything else this round?
Yakiba: Yes, let's stand up and move... this way. In one action since Rolling Recover.
aaand I have a spare support action so why not, Recharging my stance
Carolina: From the ground. "Ow..... I kind of wanna just keep lying here and nap...."
"But I guess I shouldn't."
Elly: "But you could."
Carolina: Move action to remove prone, support to remove shaken.
"All right, I've been leveling up. So it should come to no surprise...."
"That I know this one."
"Tryyyyyyy not to wet yourself."
"OMEGA FIRE!"
Elly: "..."

Mannfred is suddenly really glad that he's waaaaaay over there
Nocebo: HOT HOT HOT.
Carolina: A giant dragon appears in the sky, everybody is suddenly on a floating platform.
The giant dragon completely incinerates said platform.
Elly: Tries to protect anything flammable on her person. Which is pretty much everything.
Carolina: and everybody is back. IN A SWIRL OF FLAMES.
Aura attacks

17 vs Mammon
19 vs Prinny

Yakiba: 22 Muscle sub
Nocebo: 17 aura def
Mammon: 16 14 Dex
Elly: ...:c
Mammon: Well that went poorly.
Nocebo: :c indeed.
Yakiba: "Oh, your spell didn't work on me. Too bad there's nothing stronger than Omega, isn't it?"
Elly: "uhh..."
Carolina: 12 damage to Yakiba
95 to Elly
91 to Nocebo
97 to Mammon
the prinny ded
Mammon: "Tera? Peta? Are we up to Zeta?"
Carolina: "Yeah there'
"there's actually two more levels I think."
Yakiba: "And yet the name clearly implies it's the last."
Nocebo: "I would like to get off the pain train now."
Carolina: "I imagine I'll be picking those up for my level 10 and 15 ultimates."

Elly frantically throws out all of her valuable things on fire and is desperately trying everything she can think of to put them out.
Yakiba: "At least we narrowly managed to avoid a cameo we can't afford."
Elly: She ends up deciding to roll on everything using her body.
Mannfred: "It's funny how you think you'll even get that far."
Elly: Oh right, her move.
She regathers her singed stuff and puts them back in her pockets.
She then takes a few steps too...
She then shuffles into her sleeves and pops out--! An eraser!!
...no wait, scratch that
Carolina: "I think by numbers, we're actually winning?"
"So."
Elly: Instead, she'll pull out her book. "Neither hail, nor wind, nor demon fire will be enough to put out Nocebo and Mammon's spirits...!"
"...but boy did that really hurt..."
(Heal on Mammon and Nocebo)
Nocebo: "Trust me, I've got a plan."
Elly: She'll then pop out some back ink pens and tosses them at not Warden's Hat 18 and Mammon's maybe-girlfriend 16
Nocebo: I thought you were friends with Carolina's Hat!
Carolina: 13
Elly: (not Warden's Hat)
Carolina: The hat dies, it was actually a flunky
Zombianca: 13
wow
Elly: (she was tossing them to Carolina xD)
Yakiba: It got demoted from Attack Node? Wow.
Mammon: "Everyone can hit her but me."
"What did I do to deserve this?"
Elly: "Its destiny."
Yakiba: "Actually, we don't know that since I haven't attacked her yet."
Zombianca: 37 to Carolina, 41 to Zombianca
Nocebo: kill the healer
Elly: aaand I have a few more steps to bring heeer...
Zombianca: and 13 and 14 per round
Yakiba: "The degree of mistake required to do that isn't within tolerance, though, so I probably would."
Elly: Here
End turn
Nocebo: oh wait, that's not healing
Yakiba: *miss/be dodged/otherwise not have an attack land
Nocebo: Zombianca just has more health than I thought.
Zombianca: Zombianca did in fact heal
when she transformed
Mammon: REZZING PRINNIES
AGAIN
And shots fired at...
--Wait is he still censored?
Zombianca: Yup.
Mammon: Dang.
OKAY
Zombianca: Until the end of his turn.
Mammon: 19 the witch and 17 the maid
Zombianca: see
Mammon: Er, 18 on that second one.
Flank attack.
Zombianca: 20
Carolina: 14

Mammon screams internally

Mammon also, externally.
Elly: "DESTINY."
Carolina: 52 damage to Carolina, though!

Mannfred isn't feeling all that creative this time around, so he'll just go ahead and give Carolina a quick blast. 13
Nocebo: see you need to keep your creativity high.
Carolina: 19
Mannfred: that's asking way too much of Mannfred
Carolina: DeNIED
Mannfred: WELP that's the turn
not a whole lot he can do from here
Nocebo: useless idiot!
"It looks like we're in a tough spot... but thankfully..."
"YOU GET A HEAL!
And You Get a Heal!
Carolina: also mammon's censor is gone now
Nocebo: EVERYBODY GETS A HEAL!"
Healing all three of the other damaged people in the thick of it, because hell, she's got the technique that can do that.
Elly: Chicken soup for the demon's soul
It comes with three drumsticks and a fire-breathing beak
Nocebo: The Purposeless but Driven Life.
Elly: the healers are getting a real workout this fight, huh
Nocebo: And also...."So tell me miss Carolina...do you suffer from Narcolepsy, or just revel in it?"
"Your condition is obviously having a negative effect on your ability to fight..."
Carolina: "I... what?"
"It most certainly does not affect my fighting!"
Warden's Hat: "Yeah it does."
Yakiba: "You missed me at point-blank range, of course it does."
"I had to wake you up by dropping this tank on your head, remember?"
Elly: "Her spells really hurt."
Nocebo: "But she can scarcely aim, and her dodge is, let's face it, kinda sad compared to some people..."
Carolina: "Yeah, well, at least I have more health than everybody on your team!"
Elly: "Actually, I think that's her."
She points to Zombianca
Carolina: "...Maximum, not current."
Zombianca: "Yeah, I'm tied with your doctor."
Nocebo: "Well...wait, seriously?"
Mammon: "Transformations don't count!"
Zombianca: "I've just been hit less, since this guy keeps missing me." Points directly in Mammon's face.
Nocebo: "anyways, that's immaterial, the point is, you're suffering and you need to get treatment for your condition before you fall asleep and loose again."
Mammon: "SOON."
Carolina: "zzzzzzzzzzzzz"
Nocebo: yep, debuff went through
bored her to death by telling her to get treatment for her obvious medical condition.
I'll shift over to there, and end the turn.
Narrator: FACED WITH, uh, overwhelming? ODDS
CAN OUR, uh, heroes? SAVE THE DAY?
WILL THEY WIN THE FIGHT?!?!
FIND OUT NEXT TIME
to be continued
Mammon: "WAIT ONE SECOND"
"Ahem."
Yakiba: (spanish guitar noises)
Mammon: "FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
Zombianca: "Still haven't hit me."
Nocebo: "Did that sound like Majel Roddenburry to anyone else?"
Elly: "THAT'S THE BOOK TITLE!!"

Mannfred claps, and it's not 100% clear if he's being sincere or not
Yakiba: "Which one? Honestly I think either could work"
Elly: "Yes."
Nocebo: "I think the big explitive might need a little polish, but it might be a best-seller."
Shika (GM): Anyway, sorry it ran so late
Mannfred: it's cool, I think we were all starting to run out of steam towards the end
Yakiba: Four hours is a long time
Shika (GM): Well, three hours amd 45 minutes
technically
since we started late
Mannfred: technically
Shika (GM): your face is technically
Nocebo: hopefully
we can finish quick next week
and move on to the inside fight?
Elly: I think so, this is a round or so left I figure
unless we get really bad rolls
Yakiba: yeah that sounds about right
Mannfred: what do you mean, "unless"?
Shika (GM): that's what you think
little do you realize
the thing that's keeping YOU all alive
is something they both have
Yakiba: that's true though there's like no way no one is going to get a really bad roll
Shika (GM): (they can both heal in other words)
Mannfred: we exhausted most of our terrible luck in the box chase, so we should be in the clear
Nocebo: HAHAHAHA
Yakiba: uhhhhh
Nocebo: Murphy has been invoked.
we're all gonna die.
Shika (GM): so gud luck
Yakiba: did you not see the two nat-1 dodges in a row towards the beginning of the fight
Elly: dang
Yakiba: one of which may I remind you crit because he was prone at the time
Mannfred: much like Mannfred, I only see what I want to see
Yakiba: much like mannfred, you are frequently confronted with things you don't want to see but that you have to anyway
Shika (GM): anyway I'll catch y'all next week, same bat time same bat channel etc
Mannfred: seeya!
Mammon: Later.
Shika (GM): o7
Yakiba: i'm gonna give turning this water heater on one more stab, probably fail, say "eh forget it" and go to bed
Elly: night night~
Vehrec: we do The Thing.
Awe: Oh, right. We've still got to deal with these jokers.
Shika (GM): yuuuup
Vehrec: if Nocebo is still standing when her turn comes around, I gotta do a thing.
Shika (GM): if
Vehrec: If
Shika (GM): who we missin'
Mannfred: looks like we're out a bookworm
Vehrec: we can't go on without her. :O
Shika (GM): yo!
Mannfred: AAAAAYYYY alright
Argent B.: hihi sorry I came on as soon as I could
Shika (GM): ALL RIGHT LET US GI TO EET
git
Vehrec: Git Gud
Yakiba: branch, add, commit, merge
Narrator: when we last left our criminals!
Mammon: Finally, the narrator learns some respect.
Narrator: They were heading into the heart of New Hell City in order to save Yumi at the Rosenqueen Co. HQ
They managed to mail Mannfred there and somehow steal a tank in the process
but a hobo stood in their way!
And then a maid showed up!
AND THEN THEY FOUGHT
and are still fighting
Nocebo: how are we fighting maids and hobos for so long??
Minki K.: (maids and hobos are traditionally tough)
Mammon: Zombianca is secretly the endboss and Carolina can't go away until Elly recruits her hat.
Zombianca: pffffft
"secretly"
Elly: It is a very nice hat.
Yakiba: Really, at this point there are too many flags for her not to be the endboss, but someone's going to be surprised anyway
or at the very least an endboss
Zombianca: Anyway, it's the maid's turn!

Mannfred will absolutely be surprised, because he's kinda been half-paying attention this whole time
Minki K.: death flag probably wished his name was endboss flag.
Zombianca: Zombianca removes Shaken! SHE IS A MAID! Maids are scared of nothing!
Nocebo: Maids are tough and deserving of respect.
Elly: No truer words
Zombianca: Zombianca smirks at Mannfred. "So."
Pulls out two guns.
"Anything You Can Do..."
"I Can Do Better."
Mammon: I feel deeply offended again.
Mannfred: "Wait, why was she smiling at me?"
Zombianca: She moves through him and his prinnies, shooting as she goes in a perfect mimic of his Bullet Dance.
Yakiba: "How can you even tell, standing behind that pillar?"
Mannfred: "We're in the middle of a life-or-death battle and thse are the questions you ask?"
Zombianca: Aura attack
18 vs prinny 1
23 vs prinny 2
14 vs Mammon
wow
Mannfred: "here I was thinking you were a professional."
Zombianca: and stop having a name beginning with M and I won't get it mixed up GOD
Yakiba: "You asked first."

Mannfred refuses to dignify that with a response
Mammon: 16 18 14 Dex all.
Oh my god.
Zombianca: perfect
Minki K.: (well)
Zombianca: 80 damage!
Yakiba: Welcome to our average luck
Zombianca: She twirls the pistols and puts them back... wherever Disgaea characters carry misc items.
Mammon: "Augh! Sure, you can shoot..."
"But those dance moves were a 7 at best!"
Zombianca: "I'll have you know I can get a perfect combo on every song in Death Death Revolution!"

Elly considers this...

Elly takes out a sign that reads "8." Sorry Mammon.
Mammon: "TRAITOR"
Nocebo: incredible.
Elly: "Eep!'
Yakiba: Let's at least get one of these women out of the fight, shall we? 18 Muscle vs Carolina
Carolina: No 12 resolve
yes
What move is this?
Yakiba: it's Pressure Fist since he's already ulted this scene
Provided the reposition will still move her since it looks like she's still immobilized she goes directly east
Carolina: 78 damage!
Yakiba: Also, the approach was a support move, meaning I can rolling recover out of prone
"And now, you're already dead."
Carolina: From her spot again the tank,
there comes a loud snore
then a jerk. "Ah! Wait, I'm supposed to be fighting!"
Nocebo: ...Let's let sleeping mages lie-damnit!
Carolina: "Did you hit me while I was sleeping!?"
"You jerk!"
Nocebo: "You didn't wake up when you were hit while sleeping?"
Carolina: nope
move action to remove immobilized
Yakiba: "I don't pass up advantages."
Carolina: Aaaaaaand dex attack;
18 vs Nocebo
13 vs Elly
21 vs Yakiba
Yakiba: 16 at least it can't crit
Nocebo: Resolve defense 13
Elly: 16 yoink~
Nocebo: Yoink indeed.
Carolina: HM
Overdrive vs Yakiba.
Noe it's a crit.
Now*
Yakiba: well, I stand corrected there
Nocebo: incredible.
Carolina: 46 to Nocebo
102 to Yakiba
Yakiba: Good thing I proportionally have the most health out of anyone on the- aaaaand it's gone
Nocebo: awwww
Carolina: And then she seems to recover 74 health
That coulda been better.
She slashes her scythe, and the image of a grim reaper appears before Nocebo and Yakiba's eyes as their life force is drawn into Carolina.
Mannfred: "Oh. So that's why they call her the Reaper."

Mannfred literally just got it
Yakiba: "No, that would be the scythe."
"This seems new."
Carolina: "Living on the streets hardens your soul. It makes you stronger."
Mammon: "If you're going to be the team nerd, you could at least be smart."
Nocebo: "Guh-you jerk! I need that HP!"
Mannfred: "I'm just thinking out loud, alright?!"
Elly: Elly makes a box out of her fingers and positions them at Carolina.
Nocebo: "I'm not your personal organ donor! Actually, you shouldn't use me for organ donation at all, I have a rare immuno-complex."
Yakiba: "She's right though, we needed those. Are you sure you didn't just reincarnate into a Thief that inexplicably looks the same as you did before?"
Carolina: Looks down at herself. "...Nope. Ain't no thief who looks this good."
Elly: "Warden's Hat, do be careful. I'm going to attack the Warden."
"For one, because you hurt Nocebo. And for two, I think your part in this point in the story is over..."
Nocebo: Rabu rabu, blushy fluffy.
fwomp goes the right wing.
Elly: She reaches into the nether and reaches out for two aura-drenched scissors into the air which swirl around and cut in two large diagonal swathes at Carolina. OVERDRIVE 18
dex
Carolina: 17 welp
97 damage!
"Oh."
Falls over.
Nocebo: "Wow."
Elly: And then she pulls out her book. "WAHAHA, the warden says, taking out the hearts of Nocebo and Yakiba. Your life-force is mine! But wait! What's this!! From the East, a heroine rises from the sun! I will vanquish you! She says, and uses her most powerful attack! Oh no! Says the warden. I AM VANQUISHED! YES! That is because she was beaten by--! BOOKKEPER ELLIPSES! Nocebo and Yakiba fill their hearts rise with pride at the sight of this glorious heroine! And what's that! They found that their strength is returning to them!!" (Heals on Yakiba and Nocebo)
Mammon: "...A little much, but it was a good takedown."
Carolina: +1 valor
Elly: "...um."
"Oh."
Yakiba: "You've done well. Now, there is but one more step."
Mammon: REPLACING THOSE MASSACRED PRINNIES
Elly: "Maybe we should beat up Mammon's girlfriend before celebrating."
Nocebo: . . . "Yeah, she isn't good for him."
Zombianca: wow rude
Mammon: "So."
Nocebo: "Hey Mammon! You need to break up with the Zombie-maid!"
Yakiba: "She wouldn't be much good for anyone."
Mammon: "How do you reconcile looking down on someone AND dedicating your whole pathetic existence to copying everything they do?"
Elly: "Stalker with a crush?"
"...meets..."
"...a superiority complex."
Zombianca: "........"

Nocebo sniggers.
Mammon: "No answer, huh?"
Zombianca: "Oh, sorry. Did you say something?"
Mammon: "Aaaaand that's enough fucking around. COPY THIS!"
Unleashing ult!
Zombianca: "I was trying to pay attention to the real threats."
Mammon: 22 Dex
YOOOOO
Elly: (dang)
(put your weight behind that one, huh Mammon)
Mammon: Better: the weight of like 9000 Prinnies.
With guns.
Zombianca: 17
welp it hits
Mammon: OVERDRIVE FOR A CRIT
Nocebo: YEAH BOY.
Zombianca: 138 damage!
Mammon: "Sorry about your whole Perfect Maid thing, but when it comes to servants..."
"Quantity trumps quality every time!"
Prinny Squad: "YOU TELL HER, MASTER MAMMON, DOOD!"
Zombianca: +1 valor for that line
Prinny Squad: "Wait, did he just..."

Mannfred looks up from his phone and glances around, looking more confused than usual
Mannfred: "Oh, wait, are we still fighting?"
Yakiba: "YES. Pay more attention."
Mannfred: "I thought you would've finished things up by now."
Mammon: "I've got it under control, go back in your box."
Mannfred: "Too late, it's my turn and there's nothing you can do about it."
Nocebo: "Are you gonna let him say that when you could kill-steal?"
Elly: "But that would require effort."
Mannfred: "Don't tell me what to do when I'm already doing it."
16 Very lazily blasting Zombianca
Zombianca: 18 wow how lazy
Mannfred: overdriving that purely to spite mammon
Zombianca: 50 damage!
Mammon: How do y--
Whoops.
Zombianca: Anything else, Mannfred?
Yakiba: Mammon did you just retreat into the Base Panel
that doesn't exist
Zombianca: CTRL+Z
Mannfred: I was gonna throw her into mammon but I guess that's not an option
Mammon: It's not working.
Zombianca: boop
Mammon: Sorry.
Zombianca: Into Mammon? Got it.
Elly: "!"
Mammon: ...can you Protect Master collision chip damage?
Zombianca: nope

Elly WRITES FURIOUSLY.
Mammon: Alas.

Mannfred chinhands
Zombianca: 12 damage to both Mammon and Zombianca
and the prinny but it just dies
Elly: "Done."
Mammon: "Ah, friendly fire."
"Very mature, very tactically feasible."

Elly flips over the book and it has a perfect rendition of Zombianca colliding into Mammon.
Mannfred: "'Friendly' is exaggerating, I think."
Elly: Its... more suggestive than what actually happened.
...there's sparkles and light effects
Nocebo: "Jeez, give me even more work, why don't you.
Mammon: "This is why I recommended the box."
"Oh, and GET THE HELL OFF ME"
Mannfred: "Please, it's just twelve damage. Get over it."

Nocebo runs up to each person and bops them on the head with her hand.
Nocebo: "YOU GET A HEAL! YOU GET A HEAL!"
....

Nocebo looks at Mammon for a while and then knees him in the back.
Mammon: "Wha--OW"
Elly: Even if it feels better Elly raises a hand to protect her head.
Nocebo: "Chiropractory!"
"And the coup-de-gras..."
Mammon: "WARN ME BEFORokay that does actually feel great now."

Nocebo takes her pose before Zombanica. "I'd say that you're already dead...but that would just be a tautology."
Elly: "Ohh... good word."
Mannfred: "And Yakiba already said it earlier."
'Don't let me spoil your fun, though."
Zombianca: +1 valor to Yakiba
Nocebo: 20 "Instant surgery-TOtal Organ Removal!"
Elly: O
Mammon: VISCERAL ATTACK
Elly: *I'm reminded of Fallout's "Bloody Mess"
Zombianca: 22!!!!11
...Welp.
Nocebo: can't overdrive that, dangit.
Yakiba: No one can, we're all sub-3 valor
BUT, it's a new round
so everyone gets one more
and that puts ME at 3
so can I overdrive to turn before Zombianca
Zombianca: Nope
That overdrive can only be used as a reaction to a turn end
and that's already happened before you gain your valor
Yakiba: That's inconvenient
at this exact time
Zombianca: but NEW ROUND +1 VALOR
Zombianca thrusts out a hand. "Time to sweep up this garbage!"
Elly: Sudden Action Overdrive!
Zombianca: To what?
Elly: "Its the final round! Can Mammon, Nocebo, and Yakiba take down their foe! We will soon see!" -- Heals to Mamoon, Nocebo, and Refraction point which bounces the heals to Yakiba
Zombianca: And THEN a giant broom appears out of nowhere, sweeping towards Mammon, Nocebo, and Yakiba!
Dex attacks;
21 vs Mammon
22 vs Nocebo
17 vs Yakiba
Yakiba: 14 okay, this one he's actually got something of a shot to dodge
and then that happens
Nocebo: 18 Let's see if it crits...
Mammon: 13 Dex, can't dodge.
"Dammit, where's my meatsh--oh, that's what I was sitting on."
Elly: "No."
"That's me."
Nocebo: "That sweep was by no means clean."
Yakiba: "This changes nothing. You're within an inch of your unlife, no matter how far away I am."
Zombianca: 24 to Yakiba,
24 to Elly
30 to Mammon
27 to Nocebo
With that, she seems to have gained some sort of boost-
HEY MANNFRED
Zombianca: Roll int or aura
22
Mannfred: oh 21
Zombianca: FWOOSH you seem to have
traded places with the maid
"I'll see you all later, I'm sure!"
Overdrive for an extra movement

Mannfred feels very exposed all of a sudden
Zombianca: AAAAND she gone.
Mammon: "WHAT"
Nocebo: "... EVERYONE DOWN!"
Mannfred: "I'm not sure what I expected."

Nocebo remembers last time she vanished.
Yakiba: "The worst enemies are the ones that run."
'
Zombianca: Nothing explodes.

Nocebo distrusts this turn of events.
Mammon: Except the Prinny Mammon punts at the tank in a hissyfit.
Mannfred: "Well, we don't have to deal with her right now, and that's enough for me."
Zombianca: that explodes
....and sets off a chain reaction of explosions
as the entire entrance of the Rosenqueen, Co. was rigged to blow
Mannfred: "Why."
Mammon: "Don't you fucking dare tell me she predicted I would do that."
Yakiba: "One day."
"And no, that'd be giving her far too much credit."
Nocebo: "The tank! Oh man, I didn't have time to get insurance on it!"
Zombianca: A single singed note floats down with the ash.
It lands right in Mammon's hands.
Elly: "...insurance?"
Zombianca: I predicted you'd do that
Elly: "You should have asked me."
Mammon: "Oh my god."
Zombianca: P.S. I took out insurance on your tank
Thanks
Yours, Zombianca

Nocebo reads the note.
Nocebo: ....
Yakiba: "We're going to kill her. Repeatedly."
Mannfred: "I can't even get mad at this, honestly."
Nocebo: "Elly. I have a cunning plan for our next meeting with Zombianca."

Elly takes out a book that blooms open to forms of all kind.
Elly: "Oh?"
Mannfred: "Mostly I'm just confused. And tired."
Mammon: "Look."
"This is very demoralizing, but I think we can all come together and agree..."
"It was Mannfred's fault."
Nocebo: "I'll explain it later. But it involves a shopping trip."
Mannfred: "Explain. Explain to me how this is my fault."
"I'm dying to hear."
Elly: Elly is just confused
"Oh! Is Yumi okay?"
Mammon: "Didn't contibute enough to the fight, were waiting far enough away to be an ideal target for that transposition thing, you're the whole reason we're in this mess,
Elly: "And Warden's Hat?"
Mammon: I need someone to blame or I'm gonna start shooting at everything that moves..."
"Pick one."
Nocebo: "Let's check up on Yumi-Carolina and the Hat seem to be blown away."
Mannfred: "Well, you're wrong on almost all of those points, but I'm too stressed to argue."
Elly: "Mmm..."
"Okay."
Mannfred: "So I'll let you have this. just this once."
Elly: Nocebo and Elly go to check up on Yumi -- or rather see if they can get inside maybe?
Yakiba: "We should see if the entrance hasn't been blocked."
Zombianca: 1
It totally has been.
But there is sure to be an alternate route inside
Nocebo: "gotta be another door..."
Mannfred: "let's just break in through the window. Nobody's going to mind."
Yakiba: "There should be a service entrance?"
Nocebo: "You'll pay for a lot more than the window. This is Rosenqueen."
Mannfred: "And the front entrance is ruined. If anyone brings it up, we can say it went in the explosion."
Nocebo: 'I hear their real HQ is three whole Netherworlds."
Narrator: so breaking a window, or trying to find a door?

Mannfred is going to break a window no matter what everyone else does
Yakiba: Let's find a door, there's less imminent cost involved
Nocebo: Yes, door search.
Mammon: "Okay, we can tell them we told him not to."
Nocebo: ...but if you throw a portal through the broken window...
Mammon: That works.
Yakiba: Portaling through a broken window actually could be a good idea.
Maybe if the window is transparent enough we don't even need to break it, though?
The property damage seems kinda unnecessary
Narrator: NOPE THE WINDOW BROKE
And you then teleport inside
while Mannfred climbs in
Mammon: Sounds IC.
Elly: Elly is judging

Mannfred doesn't need your handouts
Narrator: presumably,
Mammon would close the portal before Mannfred could make it in anyway
Mannfred: he pulled himself through that window by his bootstraps
Nocebo: "So just as an aside Elly...what are your three sizes? And what size shoes do you wear and how long are your legs?"

Elly was too busy judging Mannfred to really hear what Nocebo was saying. "What?"

Nocebo facepalms.
Mammon: "Can you flirt after we find out if Yumi's alive?"
Nocebo: "I want. To buy. Some clothes. What are your sizes?"
Mannfred: "Will saving it for later really make it any better?"
"I don't know if I can handle two more seasons of this."
Nocebo: ..."actually saving it for later means I get to play dress-up with Elly."
Elly: "I've think I've come to a conclusion, Mannfred. I thought originally that you were useless and that you would die in complete obscurity, as is your way."
"But now I think you are going to irrevocably change the Netherworld."
"And I'm pretty sure that will be a bad thing."
Mannfred: "...what?"
Elly: That being done, she looks a little puzzled at Nocebo. "I don't know. Nobody has ever asked me that."
And considering that she has information on everybody else's dimensions... that may be a little surprising.
Mannfred: "No, don't just go back to whatever inane thing you were talking about. What the hell do you mean 'irrevocably'?!"
"Just for once, Elly, I'd like you to make at least some kind of sense!"

Mannfred is visibly kinda weirded out
Mammon: "It means it can't be revoked."
"Just helping."
Mannfred: "I know what the word means."
Nocebo: "Let's get a move on, we're gonna get Elly measured later. Mannfred is beyond help right now."
Mammon: "Again:"
"Wasn't this a rescue mission?"
Let's go find the archer that charmed a nation.
Elly: Elly likes her
Nocebo: Nocebo is okay with her as long as she doesn't get any ideas about Elly.
Mannfred: Mannfred likes her about as much as he likes anybody
which is to say not at all
Nocebo: nobody asked you :P
Narrator: Up ahead, the next room opens into a large warehouse by the looks of it.
The lights are off.
Elly: Elly looks over to Yakiba "Is it true that ninjas can see in the dark?"
Mannfred: "I'm willing to put actual, real money down on this being a trap."
"Or i would, if I had money."
Yakiba: "Not until two weeks ago."
Mammon: "And if I didn't already have a claim to any hypothetical money you might have in the future."
Elly: "Oh."
"That's convenient."

Nocebo will look for any light switches that might seem useful in this next area.
Narrator: Nocebo can find a light switch!
Yakiba: "And by 'two weeks ago' I mean earlier when we left the Forest of Undeath."
Narrator: When the light turns on, you can see the warehouse!
Elly: "It felt like two weeks ago."
Narrator: Lots of boxes of "DEMON HERO MANNFRED" merchandise
which all have a giant "DISCARD" label on them
Mammon: "Oh."
Mannfred: "Should... should I be relieved or insulted?"
Mammon: "I think I've found my happy place."
Yakiba: "They probably lost a lot making this."
Mammon: "There's something so comforting about this whole room."
Elly: Elly takes one.
Nocebo: "I think we should grab as much as we can."
"In a thousand years, this stuff might be worth something to collectors of rare toys and junk."
Mannfred: "I really can't see these things going up in value anytime soon."

Mannfred takes on anyway
Mannfred: *one
Yakiba: "Come to think of it, you didn't ever negotiate royalties, did you."
"This is for the better after all."
Elly: "Oh yeah."
Narrator: Just as he takes one-
There's a loud creaking sound from the ceiling
That loud creaking sound becomes a GIANT BOOM
as the ceiling collapses
Elly: Elly returns to where she took hers and puts down 895 HL -- the going price for an action figure.
Narrator: and five GIANT shapes descend
Mammon: "Mannfred's fault!"
Elly: Right in time for the giant shapes
Mannfred: "I told you! I told you so!"
Nocebo: "WOW
"they are not screwing around."
Yakiba: We're seeking the peace of reason, I guess
Prismatic Adel Blue: "THREATS ASSESSED"
Nocebo: "But are they gonna Gattai now or later?"
Prismatic Adel Green: "SEVEN DEMONS"
Prismatic Adel Red: "RECOMMENDED COURSE:"
Prismatic Adel Yellow: "DESTROY"
Prismatic Adel Center: "GLORY TO THE HOLY EMPIRE"
Mammon: "Wait, seven?"
Elly: "Um. I paid for mine. Is that ok--" "Oh."
"They're not with Rosencompany..."
Prismatic Adel Center: They are totally counting the prinnies.
Mammon: Yeah Mammon can't parse that.
"Demons" means "people."
Nocebo: "I think we should maybe show them out, don't you?"
Yakiba: "There seems to have been a miscalculation, but hey, that works."
20 queue up
Elly: oh wow, a song came on that totally fits the Holy Empire 19
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL2Ef87FDoQ
Prismatic Adel Center: Yes, go ahead and roll dat initiative
Mannfred: ""Did the humans seriously make these things? The first time we saw one they didn't even recognize a gun when it was blowing a hole in their chest." 11
Prismatic Adel Center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLCWCPyxByg actual battle theme
Elly: yup, we're in Midas xD
Nocebo: "They look like they could be magically animated."
Yakiba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZpE5j8wqQ4 extended version of that
Mammon: 20
Mannfred: "I don't know. Seems a little too advanced to just be golems."
Prismatic Adel Center: For the Prismatic Adels, going in order:
138121210
Yakiba: "They must be. This is the kind of work I aspire to..."
Nocebo: 13
Yakiba: "I'll be keeping the pieces when we're done."
Prismatic Adel Center: SOME NOTES:
Brown are boxes. They can be moved through as difficult terrain.
Black are shelves. They CAN be attacked THROUGH. But you cannot move through them.
AAAAND BEGIN
Yakiba: Adel Yellow has no health bar. Is it a large Companion?
Okay it's not that's what I thought.
"I refuse to fall to what I should be master of..." Why does he have to be so far away.
They're machines, so if he moves erratically, instantly, they can't read him so easily (Slip Stance is go).
"Why don't I show you my servant, as well?"
Sentry is installing... there
Yakiba: WAIT strike that I can't
forgot about my own limit
"Oh, right, that will have to wait."
Prismatic Adel Center: End turn then?
Yakiba: Yeah probably.
Mammon: Okay, portals established awkwardly due to lack of mouse. BUT ANYWAY
Shots Fired at every Prism thing except the Cener one!
19 15 15 13 Dex
Prismatic Adel Center: 15 muscle
12 muscle
14 muscle
20 aura
Mammon: "This kind of fight is exactly the problem with melee combat."
Yakiba: "Agreed."
Unfortunately, Ninjas suck at ranged attacks.
Prismatic Adel Center: 41 damage!
Mammon: "Oh, not as sturdy as they look."
"That's the best kind of giant robot to not have on your side."
Yakiba: "All the better to improve once we've torn them apart."
Mannfred: "You get what you can take with human craftsmanship, i suppose."
Elly: "This is going to take a while if we rely on movement..."
and abundant creation to put a portal...
And she'll use Meddle Fate on the green and yellow ones 12 13
Apparently the distance is too great
aura
Prismatic Adel Center: 2013 aura defenses
One hit!
Elly: I'm quite surprised actually
end turn!
Prismatic Adel Center: 47 damage

Nocebo glances at Manfred. "hey buddy...want another hit?"

Nocebo holds up a vial of Overdrive serum.
Mannfred: "Are... are you serious?"

Nocebo offers an evil smirk.

Mannfred takes a deep breath and sighs
Mannfred: "Alright, fine. but if I wind up inciting a second manhunt, it's all on you."
Nocebo: "Well when you put it like that..."

Nocebo loads it into an injector...and then presses it against her own neck.
Mannfred: "If! I said if!"
dammit, he's never gonna get another hit at this rate
Nocebo: "HA! As if there's any question about what you'd do if I gave you some of this."
Yakiba: Don't get addicted.
Nocebo: and then she takes a vial of something else and chucks it through one of the portals.
15vs blue, 17 vs green. "I know you guys don't react to normal chemicals....but that's pure Rust Beast Venom I keep around for just such an occasion!
Prismatic Adel Center: 1511
Double-hit!
31 damage!
Prismatic Adels delay their turn!
Mannfred: "Alright, that's... a little suspicious, I'll admit."
Mammon: "Quit being a baby and spring th trap!"
Mannfred: "Not without taking the proper precautions first!" 14 blasting the yellow'un through the portal
Prismatic Adel Center: 16
NOPE
NOT TODAY
Mannfred: eh, you win some you lose some
or in Mannfred's case, you claim to have won some
Prismatic Adel Center: Here is where it gets fun
And by fun I mean
...super fun
Mammon: OH GOOD
MECHA KALIS
Yakiba: Wait, is Not Swindler on the left not firing a beam
Mannfred: "Proper precautions!"
Nocebo: are they
using the portals?
Prismatic Adel Center: There are five beams
Nocebo: anyways
Prismatic Adel Center: The point is
AURA ATTACKS GO
Yakiba: Well Elly, Mammon - better get lucky since you're standing in four AoEs
Prismatic Adel Center: Vs Yakiba: 2120
Vs Nocebo: 201421

Prismatic Adel Center: prinnies ded

Nocebo slowclaps
Prismatic Adel Center: Two hits on Nocebo!
And one hit on Yakiba
DAMN I rolled super good, too
and still one hit on most y'all
except Nocebo
Elly: well, you killed the prinnies :D
Mammon: They died as they lived.
As a footnote.
Prismatic Adel Center: 88 to Nocebo, 48 to Elly, 56 to Mammon, 62 to Yakiba
Nocebo: "Okay, that sucked. gotta drop these things fast."
Prismatic Adel Center: New round, but I think I'll cut us off here for tonight.
Yakiba: All right
Prismatic Adel Center: I hope you enjoyed meeting the human world's magical unit. :')
Elly: definite "oh crap" moment
Mammon: They're not so bad.
Melianel Adelgarde: our motto: put everything into flashy, sparkling offensive
Mannfred: I sure did have a lot of fun not getting hit by giant lasers
Prismatic Adel Center: Mel will show up proper next week!
Mammon: All you have to do is roll really high like five times in a row every turn.
Nocebo: just spread out more guys.
Mannfred: y'all made fun of Mannfred's box, but who's laughing now?
who's laughing now?
Bogswalt: Still them, I think
Mannfred: yeah fair enough
Elly: on a different note, I have a theme tune for Elly~
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxshoUWop0A
Nocebo: now I need to find a theme for Doc.
...no, you can't use the X-files them, god.
Mannfred: Mannfred's theme is two minutes of anguished screaming laid over a bangin new wave beat
Elly: So this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYOi3xiC5cY
Yakiba: Anyway I'm hype still.
Elly: Yus~~
Shika (GM): I hope y'all had fun this week
and are looking forward to next
;)
Elly: these mechs are going down dangit
Yakiba: We got very frustrated with maids again, but that was your plan all along no doubt
Shika (GM): yea it was
you know she survived with only 1 health?
Mannfred: the magic pixel
Elly: wouldn't the ink take her? :<
Shika (GM): That was after the ink
Elly: daaaang
Shika (GM): She had 15 health, ink dealt 14
Vehrec: Me and Argent are discussing a counter-maid plan.
it is both cunning and devious.
Shika (GM): there is no anti-maid plan for she is always one step ahead, that's why she is a maid
Mammon: Mammon doesn't approve of any anti-maid plans that don't involve him just being better than her in general.
Mannfred: also
this is the second time in a row a tabletop character I've played wound up having weird off-brand merchandise of themselves
Shika (GM): ...it IS
Yakiba: that's... I'm not sure how to explain a trend like that one
Vehrec: our anti-maid plan takes into account her maid-ness.
Shika (GM): I almost forgot about Mollapalooza
Mannfred: Never Forget
Mammon: By the way Mammon's theme....
Let's strongly consider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcKXdoHiHwY&ab_channel=moduru
Mannfred: I was thinking more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_JTzEppKy8
Mammon: Well that too.
Shika (GM): ANYWAY Imma head out
Mammon: Later.
Shika (GM): see y'all nerds next week
Yakiba: Me too, thanks
Mannfred: seeya!
Elly: I'm listening to themes xD
Its a good theme /nod nod
