    • THERE HAS GOT TO BE AN EASIER WAY TO BE A GHOST POSSESSING A CRYSTAL DOING BATTLE WITH AN EIGHT EYE'D TINCAN!
    ​

    Combat Tutorial

    If it wasn't clear enough: WHEN YOU MOVE YOU CAN MOVE INTO THE MEDIUM RANGE CIRCLE. WHERE YOU END UP AFTER THE MOVE BECOMES YOUR NEW CENTER OF RANGE.

    if what you are dodging attacks in a way that allows you to MOVE out of its range then yes MOVING while they ACT makes you dodge their attack.

    EXAMPLE: The naginata is a stabbing weapon. if an enemy MOVES into range while you stab, aka closer to you, you are stabbing their face with it and they would not dodge the attack. If you had an arcing weapon that can act in MED range, like a morning star with a long chain, moving closer would make you dodge said attack.

    I think Dex has asked us to use ACT: Dodge
    Dex - Well I haven't asked you to but like dodging with MOVING is basically moving away from the zone being attacked. You cant MOVE on the spot. Not in this way at least.

    [] MOVE to the side to dodge his attack
    [] ATTACK his scythe IF it gets stuck in the ground
    -[] ELSE ATTACK him directly
    Dex - You can do that. Layered plans like that aren't out of the question.

    Unless otherwise stated, if a skill/thing can be used at LONG range, it can be used at MEDIUM and SHORT as well. Same with a MEDIUM labelled skill/item being used at SHORT range. The next tier blankets the earlier one as well.

    Combat is 2D based.

    Skills only need energy (Unless otherwise stated).

    moving outside the LNG range of anyone acting aggressive to you "cancels" the fight and makes it possible to run.

    Rule of thumb: If there's something blocking the path, there will almost never be anything "to see" beyond it. We can move down in front of the coffin still to go further back. Way back when we inspected the fruits we moved past it to look at one, remember?

    All ghost skills are possible whenever. You can matter mold right?

    Q: CIf we throw stars at him, can we make them spikier after the fact
    A: Not yet, only whats orange like our body can be mattermold. Consider that if it leaves the body it is no longer in the controllable radius.

    RE:Learning skills: You can always try. Experimentation and practice can make new skills out of nothing, but... There is always the energy cost and the threat of failure. And let's not forget that we are still in combat with something viciously out for blood...

    Thanks @No One for starting this list. I will keep it updated as questions get answered.

    Yeah, that would be cool! As a very similar idea, you could ask us some sort of question like that, and then we could spend the waiting-time discussing and trying to guess the answer, and then you could just tell us if we get it right.
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...

    Really? You guys are okay with me being all coy and asking something and then having you discuss it? Normally people resent me for that.

    SO! With this update, I am gonna take a tiny actual break because you know, holidays N' stuff! Don't expect any updates again before very early january, so, until then, happy holidays and a grand new year to all of you! Of course im still gonna be checking the thread.

    Also:



    Jegus chrust. Shimminee shwaa. I know its just arbitrary points but each one of those is you guys out there taking the time to click like or hug or any of those functions, you taking the time to note on something, to note that you enjoy it, and I thank you, I thank you all so, so much.

    Seriously, your support keeps me going, it keeps me sane and focused on this story. When you talk about it, when you discuss things, whenever you interact with me and this story, you give me more hope, more stepping stones to keep walking forwards.

    Thank you.

    Thank you all, so, so very very much. I...

    hhhh... I am actually crying. Holy shingles.

    Thank you all so much.

    I can only hope to keep entertaining you for a long long time.

    Two Clashes in a row! Dear god the sheer level of luck here...

    In other news: Would anyone be interested in a desktop wallpaper of a lot of the area we are in? I can very easily make a wallpaper out of it you see so, I figured I would ask. And I have asked and some said yes so, NEXT SPOILERS!
