  • @jpastor @Mellow_MC do either of you want the Spellbound Knight Armor's Sword,Defensive Training Dummy's Wooden Shield, and/or Offensive Training Dummy's Wooden Sword? They're not particularly suited to Hyousei.



    Hyousei will cast Deathly Mist on the Greedy Daggermen, holding up Cloak in Frost in case they have some trick that would cause Hyousei to lose life.

    It may sound hard, but it's still level 2. Goblins really doesn't care about lives, so they are more likely to attack rather than defending.

    @Cadstar369
    As Hyousei casted "Deathly Mist", there is really nothing goblins can do about it. They choked on the poisoned air then they fell onto the ground. You earned 6 EXP from this, as you attempt to enter the town; an arrow on the fire is about to hit you! You may cast a single spell to prevent it but it may break through the defend spell. You may get out of its arrival but the shooter may shot another. If you dive to behind the cover, you may be sitting duck. What will be your decision?

    Quests:
    Kill 10 Greedy Daggerman
    Kill 7 TNT Thrower
    Kill 3 Flame Sniper
  • Sleeves fluttering wildly, Hyousei casts Ki Flux, the arrow phasing through their momentarily immaterial form. Rushing into the town, they take cover inside the largest building nearby.

    Ki Flux
  • @Cadstar369

    As other few flame arrows fired at Hyousei, yet these phased through his body as if he is a ghost. He'd phase into one of the largest buildings in the town and it turns out it is an abandoned weapon factory. By instinctive, Hyousei explored the factory without any issues. However, there is nothing can be used to him. If he has some room in his inventory, he may take a few then put it in the inventory for his fellow "players" to use.

    When he is ready, he may leave the building, carefully.
  • Hyousei would like to spend some time scavenging around for items in the abandoned weapon factory.
  • I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing? The last tag I received is from cadstar
  • @jpastor Thalor is currently outside the active Small World, so your options are either to join in (assuming you're going to be active from then until it closes) or wait for the next one.
  • @jpastor
    Your Thalor is yet to enter the small world.

    If you were to join the small world, you will be teleported to next ti Hyousei in the abandoned weapon factory. You also may do nothing. However things to note;

    You recently leveled up

    Your Thalor is 2 level and you have two stats points to spend.

  • Thalor’s Level-Up Preparation 🛠️✨

    Since Thalor is Level 2 with 2 stat points to allocate, let's consider the best strategy before entering Goblin World:

    Stat Allocation Options:

    1. Strength (STR):

      • Boosts attack power and melee combat effectiveness.
      • Recommended if you want Thalor to hit harder or break through defenses.
    2. Agility (AGI):

      • Enhances evasion, speed, and accuracy.
      • Useful for dodging goblin swarms and executing quick attacks.
    3. Intelligence (INT):

      • Increases mana and spell potency.
      • Consider this if Thalor uses or plans to learn magic abilities.
    4. Vitality (VIT):

      • Improves health and defense.
      • Helps withstand goblin ambushes or prolonged battles.

    Recommended Allocation:

    • 1 Point in Strength: For stronger melee attacks.
    • 1 Point in Agility: To improve speed and dodging, crucial in swarm situations.

    Next Steps:

    1. Confirm Stat Distribution: Choose which points to allocate.
    2. Gear Check: Equip any weapons or armor suited for goblin combat.
    3. Join Hyousei: Ready to teleport to the abandoned weapon factory?
  • @jpastor @Cadstar369
    While Thalor isn't here, Hyousei after exploring and scavenging, he found;
    8× Iron scraps
    6× Wood scraps
    3× Broken weapons
    1× Goblin's Iron Battleaxe
    1× Goblin's Iron Shortsword

    There is no weapon can be used for Hyousei. However, he may attempt to create some useful for him to use.

    Note that some items can be scraped into craftable items. However, there is a chance that scraped items may doesn't provide anything at all!

    For an example, a broken weapon will always gives two iron scraps and one wood scraps. It may provide a handle.

    Hyousei would like to scrap the three Broken Weapons, the Goblin’s Iron Battleaxe, and the Goblin’s Iron Shortsword for materials.
  • @cadstar369
    Hyousei achieved the following scraped items:
    18 scraped iron
    2 scraped wood
    3 handle
  • edited December 2024
    Since it'd be a waste to not try and use this veritable pile of resources, Hyousei would like to try crafting a handful of things:
    • A khakkhara using some scrap iron (and a handle if necessary)
      • (If that's too specific a staff or quarterstaff would suffice.)
    • A headband using a some scrap iron
    • A few rings using scrap wood and/or scrap iron
    Trying to save handles for others if they join in and want to try crafting something.
    Edit - By the way, is it possible to craft accessories or other useful items that wouldn't take up an equipment slot?
  • @Cadstar369
    Any unequipped items (Including consumables) takes a slot up.

    Hyousei attempted to create a khakkhara. However, with the number of scrapped irons it require to build, it breaks apart. (Lost 3 scraped irons in progress)

    Hyousei has created a scarped iron headband. (Used 4 scraped irons)
    SCRAPED IRON HEADBAND - Token Equipment Artifact
    Color: N, Mana cost: N, Rarity: Common
    "This artifact enters the battlefield with four durability counters on it.

    Whenever equipped creature is dealt damage by a source, remove a durability counter from this artifact then prevent next 2 damage would be dealt by that source."

    Hyousei has created two wooden rings and two scraped iron rings (Used total 2 scraped woods and 2 scraped irons) The rings are unechanted, so Hyousei may attempt to cast a spell on it to make it favorable enchanted to himself.
    WOODEN RING - Token Equipment Artifact 
    Color: N, Mana cost: N, Rarity: Common
    No ability
    SCRAPED IRON RING - Token Equipment Artifact

    Would you like to proceed with enchanting the rings or attempt another crafting project?

  • @jpastor
    Are you trying to put my business out? 🙂
  • edited December 2024
    Current Materials
    17 Scrap Iron
    6 Scrap Wood
    3 Handles
    With so much left over, Hyousei would like to try crafting bangles or bracers out of scrap iron, as well as take another stab at making a khakkhara. 

    Regarding the rings, Hyousei would like to try enchanting one of the scrap iron rings with an enervating effect and the other with a withering effect (i.e. a power-reducing static ability and toughness-reducing static ability, respectively). They'd also like to try enchanting one of the wooden rings with a defensive ability, leaving the other blank for now. (Figured I should err on the side of vagueness to give the GM more control over the enchantment's effect. Let me know if I should be more specific on what effect(s) I want to put on items.)
  • No @FireOfGolden - I just have no idea what I'm supposed to do next lol
  • @jpastor
    You could join Hyousei and have Thalor try to create some useful gears for himself. 😉
  • @Cadstar369
    You can be more specific because the enchanting an object has a chance to fail or become a perfect which comes with up to effectiveness 5× bonus.

    Hyousei created scraped iron banger/bracer. However, being made of scraped iron makes it too uncomfortable for Hyousei to wear it due to scraped iron bracer being too tough on his skin and could end up do more damage to himself when taken blow. Banger, on others hand, offer no protection however can be enchanted similar as rings.

    Hyousei gave another shot to create khakkhara, this time, he was being careful with it. After taking some time and using a lot of resources, he finally created a unstable khakkhara. This staff has no ability. However, it can allow significant stronger enchantment than rings does.

    As for rings, Hyousei'd have to be more specific what kind enchantment he'd like to put on the rings.
  • In that case, Hyousei would like to try to create the following enchantments:
    • [Withering] Khakkhara ~ Creatures with power 1 or less blocking or blocked by equipped creature get -0/-2.
    • [Chilling] Scrap Iron Bangles ~ Equipped creature gets -1/-0. Creatures blocking or blocked by equipped creature get -1/-0.
    • Scrap Iron Ring [of Deflection] ~ Equipped creature has ward {1}.
    • Scrap Iron Ring [of Frostbite] ~ Equipped creature has "{1}: Another target creature doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step."
    • Wooden Ring [of Warding] ~ If equipped creature would be dealt noncombat damage from a source that doesn't target it, prevent 1 of that damage.
  • Sounds like a plan! Thalor's ready to jump in and get crafting. 💪🛠️ Let's see what we can whip up:

    Crafting Ideas for Thalor:

    • Armor: Maybe a basic chestplate or greaves using the leftover iron scraps.
    • Weapon: A sturdy dagger or shortsword—goblins won’t know what hit 'em!
    • Accessory: Enchant one of the plain rings for some defensive or offensive boosts.

    Got any preferences or a crafting order? Let's turn those scraps into something legendary! ⚔️✨

    @jpastor
    Thalor teleported into the factory next to Hyousei. Thalor is ready to craft some.
  • Hyousei will take another attempt at enchanting the Scrap Iron Ring of Deflection and the Wooden Ring of Warding (using the second wooden ring in the process).

    They'll also leave the Spellbound Knight Armor's Sword, Defensive Training Dummy's Wooden Shield, and Offensive Training Dummy's Wooden Sword x2 on the worktable in case Thalor wants to take/use/scrap any of them.
  • Welcome, Thalor! 🛠️ Let's get to work in this dusty old factory:

    Available Resources:

    • 15 Scrapped Iron (Hyousei used some earlier)
    • 1 Scrapped Wood
    • 3 Handles
    • 4 Rings (2 wooden, 2 iron)

    Crafting Options:

    1. Armor Crafting:
      • Iron Chestplate (8 Iron) – Basic defense boost.
      • Iron Gauntlets (5 Iron) – Maybe add a bonus for attacking?
    2. Weapon Crafting:
      • Iron Shortsword (6 Iron + Handle) – Reliable damage dealer.
      • Iron Spear (6 Iron + Handle + 1 Wood) – Longer reach and cool style!
    3. Accessory Crafting:
      • Enchant Rings: Let's imbue those plain rings with magic!

    @cadstar369 = Any particular gear or enchantments in mind? Let me know, and we'll forge something epic! 🔥

  • Happy birthday to me!

    An attempt enchantment on scraped iron ring turned it into liquid, Hyousei jerked away from the ring as it splated onto the ground as it binded to the ground as it cooled. (Scraped Iron Ring been destroyed in progress)

    As Hyousei casted ward spell on the ring, it somewhat fits just perfect! For some reasons, it brings light upon his body...
    WOODEN RING OF FLAWLESS WARDING - Token Equipment Artifact
    Color: White, Mana cost: N/A, Rarity: Uncommon
    Increased to 200% effectiveness
    "Whenever equipped creature would be dealt by a noncreature source. If equipped creature is not target of that source, prevent next 2 damage would be dealt by that source."

    @jpastor
    There are no tools that can melt the scrapped irons into iron ingots.

    Thalor tried to create scraped iron chestplate, but because of number it require to create, it breaks apart. (Lost 5 scrapped irons in progress)

    Thalor created scraped iron gauntlet successfully. (Used 5 scrapped irons in progress)
    SCRAPED IRON GAUNTLET - Token Equipment Artifact 
    Color: N/A, Mana cost: N/A, Rarity: Common
    "{0}: Prevent next 1 damage would be dealt by target attacking or blocking creature to equipped creature. This ability is activated only once a turn. "

    Thalor accidentally made a scraped iron greatsword. Frankly, handle is only thing holding all scraped irons together. (Used 6 scraped irons and a handle in progress)
    SCRAPED IRON GREATSWORD - Token Equipment Artifact 
    Color: N/A, Mana cost: N/A, Rarity: Common
    "{1}: Equipped creature deals double damage equal to its power to target attacking or defending creature. This ability is activated only once a turn."

    Thaler accidentally made another scraped iron greatsword with longer handle. Because of too long handle, its effectiveness decreased. (Used 6 scraped irons, a handle, and a scraped wood in progress.)
    SCRAPED IRON GREATSWORD - Token Equipment Artifact 
    Color: N/A, Mana cost: N/A, Rarity: Common
    Decreased to 50% effectiveness
    "{2}: Equipped creature deals double damage equal to its power to target attacking or defending creature. This ability is activated only once a turn."

    Thalor must be specific which rings he wants to create.
  • As Thalor and Hyousei spent some time on gearing up, they were unaware the goblins sneak in then attempt to ambush them in vulnerable position. Fortunately, they looked around and found goblins because they heard explosions outside as the factory rumbled.

    We are under attack!
    Thalor and Hyousei cannot see what is going on outside, they must take care of inside threat first before looking out then attacking them from inside. For each team turn passed, the factory loses some health to whoever is attacking the factory. Once health of factory is reduced to 0, the factory collapses.

    They deal with inside threat;
    ×4 Greedy Daggermen

    Each Greedy Daggerman performed "Swiftly Strike" to immediately attack the team. Two each targets Thalor and others two targets Hyousei.
    SWIFTLY STRIKE - Instant
    Color: Red, Mana cost: 1, Rarity: Common
    "Target creature gets +1/+0 and gains haste until the end of turn."
