interesting fight, man the huntsman must be super pissed right now. Nothing he's doing is so much as slowing OL down. He might know that rings run out of charge but that must be an immensely frustrating stagy to use, and he probably fairly concerned about the variety of tricks OL is using, he's hard to injure but you never know when your going to encounter that one exotic weapon that defeats your own exotic defense.

Always fun to read a fight where both combatants are having a rough go of it.
 
Ah yes, the old tried and true method of "try everything and see what works"

Kinda surprised OL didn't try his freeze/cold guns. Probably won't do anything, but you never know. They've got some sort of physics fuckery going on with them, maybe he's vunerable to low temperatures?

OH El, just call the Ophidian already, the Sheeda just know how to use the green light so they have no defences against your supped up elemental.
 
Or put sand in all their clothes.
Sand in bed.


Otherwise, it just sounds like you'd react differently.

Probably because he should, in some way, react a little bit more than.

I would be fine with that, to be honest. I'll only really be bothered if it's like,

"Hey, Give me my shit back."

"Just a prank bro"

"Okay."

okay.jpg.

Dude just had stuff stolen out of his subspace pocket and you're telling me that his reaction to this is a nonplussed "Oh they shouldn't have done that."

I think even the most divergent thinking person would have a bit of a stronger reaction of, essentially, being pickpocketed, being told that their wallet and keys have been nicked.

Even just a basic "Dont. Do. That. Again." Because like iamnuff said

Especially since said thieving had a serious negative impact on his attempts to keep them all from being murdered.

Gee. Maybe having all of my solutions and gadgets stolen out from underneath might, you know, be an inconvenience and I would like to express that.

Oh wait I forgot I'm such a differently thinking person that I dont actually care that its made this fight I'm having ACTIVELY HARDER had they not gone and done their little kelptomaniac prank. /s

Gah! I think I'm done with this arc.

Wake me when its done.

  1. How? The one time he's called the Ophidian it wasn't exactly instant and I think it required his lantern
  2. No real proof that the Sheeda don't know about the various lights, since they're from the far future. So they could have tactics they could use but didn't expect an orange lantern in this era.
  3. OL has never just whipped out the Ophidian to deal with enemies. She's a last ditch effort.

Ya'know, it is mid-fight. Maybe OL in fact learned from superhero stories and isn't enough of a doofus to start an argument with his allies of convenience mid-combat?
 
Even in Ophidian mode, he didn't transmute gold. Not because he can't, but because of the damage it could do to world markets.
For the record the problem in world markets would be created whether he mined asteroids or transmuted from thin air it is still a new source of gold.

As long as he manages to keep below introducing more than 25 tons of the stuff every year it will be less then a percentage of annual production and so not a significant disturbance. But if he does decide to spend say a thousand tons of gold it wont matter where it came from unless he bought it on earth the disruption will be the same.

Yeah, but his whole attitude towards money, and use of gold, is irrational to begin with. That he wants to pretend he isn't creating it when he does 'this' and would if he did 'that' is all part of the charade that lets him think his gold currency isn't as fiat based as any other way he could do it. If he ever realized that with how he mines it, with the only real limit being how fast he wants to bring it down, being no different from any other way of generating value by fiat...

Well he would then have trouble with gold. So it's good he doesn't think about it.

I'm pretty damn sure he meant after the fight is over. It's common sense. Why would you even assume he meant otherwise?

Anyway, how exactly does a weapon that fires a beam which converts gravity into kinetic energy have no (apparent) significant effect on a being whose entire shtick is gravity? Or is even greater esoteric bullshit at play?

That said...why the heck is this being here, and why now? If it's from the far future, what the heck does it want on Venus at a time when it's basically uninhabited?

Certainly the crushing pull that being generating from inside me doesn't appear to be weak.
Looks like a word is missing there, and "generating" may also be a typo. "is being generated"? "being is"?

Looks like the Huntsman can't fly, but his gravitational control is good enough that with a chunk of wall under his head he can do a passable Silver Surfer impression.
"feet", I think?
 
People still arguing about the theft issue? Like as if the DM robbed their PC?
...OK. T_T

On a philosophical level, wasn't this all hashed out with Holly Robinson's plotline?
 
Even if OL doesn't really take offense at his subspace pocket being pick pocketed, he should do something small to get the younger Sivanas back. Like hack their computers and make the keyboard layout change between QWERTY, Dvorak, AZERTY, and Colemak randomly whenever they try to do anything villainous. Or put sand in all their clothes.

y'know, given that Earth 16 keyboards are, by Word of Zoat, not labeled, that would be positively diabolical

It's implied that Sivana Senior was mucking around with attempts at Time Travel; seemingly, he went fishing for the future and used the wrong bait; or exactly the right bait, depending on your point of view
