Quick question Grom, will the art that I made of Behemoth be added to the Quest Art List and counted for XP?Gromweld said:

Well then we'd probably cut out way out with out magic handsAkatsukiLeader13 said:Of course she'd be immune to being devoured by Noelle, Taylor's no longer made of flesh but soulsteel and various other magic metals. I suppose she could get swallowed and trapped within Noelle's mass but she wouldn't be consumed and cloned like the others.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't implied in any form, other than us getting more time to spend with the various characters. Or at least what's left of them.Gromweld said:Again, I don't recall ever stating that this was 'Easy Mode' outside of the vote itself, and the 'Scenic Route' vote specifically said "Things will be rough." I'll talk about this more after the Arc 4 Interlude, but the other two Endbringer battles would have been completely different scenarios and thus not really comparable in terms of difficulty.
Our anti-gravity system already got trashed once. We'll need some backup mobility in case it happens again.sun tzu said:Why all the votes for Athletics (Power Armor)? Right now, with everyone and his grandmother focusing their fire on Behemoth, being able to get around a bit faster strikes me as less useful than some of the other things we could buy with XP.
How about this for a revised 1st stunt (changes in bold):uju32 said:For all the people currently voting, I want to make two points:
1)Noelle has swallowed Panacea.
That means she hit our medical camp.
We need to get Strider to check out the place and see if anyone there is still alive; we have sixteen injured capes there at last count, and we dunno where Othala is.
2) We need to tell our biocapes to keep their distance from Noelle as well.
Given that we can see the others inside her, that's a basic precaution.
Fixed. Look at it again.RCa said:If you're changing the stunt, at least change Foil to Flechette.
She might not even be here, of course. I don't think we've mentioned her, or noticed any attacks biting particularly deeply.
It's mentioned that Leviathan had been agitating the water in the aquifer to accelerate erosion and undermining even before he arrived on site.Zechstein said:If having an aquifer would be sufficient to classify a town as a soft target then I have to wonder why they would bother to distinguish between hard and soft targets since most human settlements will have an aquifer, especially in coastal regions. Also, it has been a while since I read Worm but didn't Leviathan cause a collapse in the inner city? That would requires some kind of hollow space underneath.
And coastal sediments are not necessarily indicative for the geology of the surrounding land since they are frequently transported over large distances before they are deposited...
Hooray, more Art! Since this is your first contribution of Art to the thread, and I know it can be daunting to put your work up in front of others to be judged, I'm fine with giving this the full award. Keep up those artistic impulses! +3 XP!BobTheNinja said:I did a really, REALLY rough sketch of Behemoth. I understand if it doesn't warrant a full point of XP, but I couldn't wait after seeing everyone else contributing their own art.
Got most of these, but gonna call a few out in particular:RCa said:
A recap of what you have committed:RCa said:So cheap. Also, maybe Occult to evaluate our essence pools. It's not normally something that takes a check though.
Many are barely moving under their own power, and most have fairly serious wounds or are nearing exhaustion. Do not expect this group to hold up as well as they did at the start.RCa said:Huh. We're doing better than expected, honestly, if we still have a hundred and thirty one capes moving.
Whoops! Fixed.RCa said:
Fixed! Also: "I'm meeellllting! Meellllllting!"RCa said:
If you need a mental image, think of Diablo's lightning attack from Diablo 2/3.RCa said:Follow up paragraphs: looks like our Lung stunt is paying off ... for both sides. Crap.
And the number of Original Wards drops by one. Farewell, Mary Pendleton - you were kind of an ass, but a loveable one.RCa said:
So much for getting payback for the Sex Closet. Uber's up for grabs, though!RCa said:Leet!
... he died in canon too, huh, although I don't think we know how. And Uber fell apart.
The fun's just getting started.RCa said:
If I were a betting man...RCa said:Bitch's dogs!
... if she gets out with only two dead then Behemoth killed fewer of them than Leviathan.
You saved both of their lives through your War rolls.RCa said:
Thanks! Fixed!RCa said:Either missing a comma between Legend and Eidolon or you want to remove the comma after Eidolon.
Working with a missing arm and a broken one is hard, man.RCa said:That pinned him down for a minute? That's pretty good. Pity Clockblocker didn't tag the ice.
Danny had to stop paying for it due to recent budget constraints. Not like an Endbringer would attack a failing city like Brockton Bay, anyway!RCa said:
She's here, yes, but you don't notice any of her arrows stuck in him. Odd...RCa said:Is Flechette even here? Could she even break an Endbringer core? They had two years to try in canon and didn't kill any (although they did slice off Simurgh's wing), but then again the Endbringers might have started trying to kill her first.
Your other shots didn't appear to do the same. Again, odd...RCa said:
Investigation helps uncover information, as well as make connections between disparate pieces of knowledge, so yes.uju32 said:Does Investigation help/play a role in gathering information to formulate a plan?
Does it assist when examining Behemoth?
Ooooooooh, So I'm guessing I either didn't make it back to the medical camp, or I did and got crushed by Noelle in her rampage through it?Gromweld said:
I think we have a Candidate here.Gromweld said:
WOOHOO!! I contributed to the success of the quest AND got complimented! You're the best Grom!Gromweld said:Hooray, more Art!

Great news, Bob.BobTheNinja said:WOOHOO!! I contributed to the success of the quest AND got complimented! You're the best Grom!
And yeah, I'll definitely keep working on improving my skills. Hopefully I'll have more awesome stuff for later.
I don't know man. I'm not a fan of editing votes more than a couple times, since it tends to result in split votes due to not everyone updating them. Plus, are you sure we can fit all that action into a single stunt?landcollector said:Great news, Bob. Have a look at my revised vote, especially the modified first stunt. I hope this catches on.
[X] "Hold the Line!"
-[X] Stunt: Our shot was the only thing that truly hurt Behemoth, and it seems unrelated to the nature of our weapon. Aim at his heart, and shoot as frequently as possible. While disseminating the knowledge about Behemoth's apparent weak spot and the other monster's absorption and cloning of capes to the entire army via our swarm, direct a teleporter to look for survivors at the overrun medical camp. Try to get him pinned again and focus a volley of fire there to either dig a hole into it or exploit other capes who might penetrate his defenses (like Flechette, perhaps.)
-[X] Stunt: Attempt communication with the new monster through use of your swarms. Ask her to attempt to occupy Behemoth for those firing, and ask what she needs to produce clones, if it's just DNA see if you can help her make ones more suited for fighting Behemoth than her current selection without absorbing them and releasing the ones she has now.
[X] 2 XP - Athletics (Power Armor ●●○)
[X] 2 XP - Lore (Endbringers ●○○)
[X] 2 XP - War (Parahumans ●○○)
[X] 2 XP - Presence (Swarms ●●○)
"I can cure everything because I've imbibed water that has diluted elements of healthy plants." Thanks! Fixed this!Zechstein said:I think you mean "New Wave heroine," although the thought of Panacea in a batik sari is somewhat amusing ("No, I don't heal. I'm just a medium for the harmony of the cosmic spheres...").
This is awesome. You are awesome for bringing it up. I've tweaked the wording - let me know if it fits now.Zechstein said:With the second thing I'm not even sure I should bring it up, since it is the sort of thing most people wouldn't care about. So I'll just mention it and you can do with it what you want:
We know from the canon Leviathan fight that there are caves filled with ground water beneath Brockton Bay. Such systems of karst caves only occur within limestone, which means that the town is build upon a foundation of calcitic sediments (which don't really occur in Massachusetts, but never mind that). But that means that any molten rock Behemoth could spew around would be calcitic as well, whereas obsidian is derived from silicatic lava. Given the circumstances, EOA would most probably be coated in some volcanic breccia with an amorphous, calcitic matrix.
