    Day 80: Stalemate
  • Threadmarks

    • Day 80

    The Ant returns to the frontlines in the interminable war with the enemy. She is a demigod of slaughter among the Enemy reaping a terrible harvest of vicious energy from hundreds of defeated husks.

    Nothing of the Enemy can match her outright, but to her extreme annoyance the myrmidons are back. It seems that her Rival has managed to hatch a new brood of the annoying robust soldiers. And as before they are attacking with efficiency and precision in the places where the Ant is not.

    [ ] Defeat Enemy Myrmidons [0/50]
    Blood Qi: +1
    Stalemate: 0 War Progress

    The Ant is beginning to suspect that this war will continue unless she can either bolster her sisters to be able to hold against the Enemy myrmidons when she isn't present. Or become so inordinately powerful that she is able to crush the enemy nest with only her own two mandibles.

    Which is not so far fetched as it might once have been. In the course of her Kata this shake she feels the energy gather and press against her organs once again as she advances once more. Her chitin hardens and her limbs strike with ever more power. She is more than twice as powerful as she was after her initial enlightenment. A titan among her sisters. And not just spiritually. She towers over them physically as well.

    But she can sense that there are many more stages to go. Just how powerful can an ant become?

    The event counter actually swings back and forth. The default value is 1 for a Bad event and 20 for a Good event. But every time an event isn't rolled the corresponding interval ticks up. For instance right now it's Bad (1-5) Good (19-20).

    Maybe this time we can use the Blood Qi to unleash terrible devastation on the enemy, so we have the time to kill more Myrmidons?

    That was a one-time thing, I think. Our only available use for blood qi is an extra action in a day.

    Current only use for blood qi is to get extra actions.

    The enemy doesn't know we have access to this. So we keep the extra actions in reserve and see if there's a cap to it.

    And then we settle in for the long war I guess....

    Let's save up at least 5 blood qi so we can effectively do 2 shakes in 1 at some point

    Also if we save up the blood qi. We can just blitz the enemy down later. It's a secret weapon we have. We don't really have a need to deploy it the second we have access to it.

    @Arcanestomper Is Vigorous blood capped to one use a day? Or could we potentially use it to get 10 things done in a day?

    The Ant thinks she can use it more than once. She isn't an expert on Blood Qi though. She's learning as she goes.
