[X] Plan: Friendship tactics

Sorry, but the viking crabs plan is just... bad. In my opinion anyway. Better to leverage every single resource we have.

Edit: also sorry for not voting earlier, I know how frustrating a low voter turnout can be.

Crab vikings can be tactical friends too

Saying 'join or die' is not very friendly.

Coin toss incoming, Please hold while we look for the "roll a dice" button

Wait, the last chapter is name Seclusion rather than Delve. Are we not getting invaded?

 

[TheCount]

Maybe its a global holiday that even beasts and monsters keep in high respect?

 

[KlinkerKing]

Humanoid (4, 1, 6) = 11+3=14
Wild (4, 6, 5) = 15
Friendly (2, 2, 2) = 6+2=8
Hostile (3, 3, 3) = 9+6-3=12

We've started rolling combat. All I can say is that the words "Brace For Impact" seemed perhaps superfluous last time. They really don't this time.

If it's eels again I'm going to suspect someone is sending them to fuck us over.

 

[TempestK]

Yeah, this is starting to get ridiculous.

I can confirm it is not eels.

Those were the same eels, back for seconds, but I refer you to my esteemed collegue for what's going on

 

[TheCount]

...thats bad.

was the door repaired after the eels?

Click to shrink...

Yes, it was

Spoiler: Upcoming

You, uh, might need to repair it again though.

 

[Amilia]

Hmm...

After this we might need more bodies. If the dice keep sending us big monsters we need to have more claws on the ground.

 

[TempestK]

Agreed, we're getting torn up almost faster than we can replenish.

Not really, our monsters are small so they replenish from one turn to the next. The downside is that they are small monsters so we need a lot more of them to make up the size difference.

A mouse is big to an ant... your creatures might be the ant in this analogy

Also this isn't going to get easier. Having more stuff means having more stuff folk want...

 

[TheCount]

Gotta evolve our crabs then, let them invite dinner with appearance and mince it with abilities

 

[Amilia]

I still think we need more creatures.

Plus, having something that's not a crustacean will be fun. Variety is the spice of life and all that.

You are right.... We should get a crab elemental

Only half joking though. Disguising elementals as crab could be pretty viable.

The long wait time is ki da making me anxious though..... Swarm fights seem to be a bit more complicated than i expected. And that's without the traits and skills added on.

I'll freely admit that the formation/horde combat means a lot of decisions and rolls become more complicated. That, and the rules for formation combat didn't quite make sense when we first started the quest, so the process of refining them has taken some time.

Well, @Angus512 and I are also masters of sidetracking, so we've designed like 18 new skills since the last delve... Good news is, that's gonna speed things up down the line!

Weight Class

​

The weight-class system has changed slightly to allow for more granularity. I've been pushing for this for a while now, and Angus has relented.
