just imagining him scowling thinking of his fated enemy’s beautiful voice
ELEVEN
do they use TWO sets of numbers here or was that you forgetting to be insane
Casimir went to college and that’s where they teach you the Secret Numbers
love the secret numbers
ꙮ Fuck
ꙮ that was me forgetting to be insane
the glory gave us the edit button
ꙮ truly
get him salme
ꙮ such violence ;_;
ꙮ also sorry that took ten years lmao I had to CPU whirr a lot
I thought you might. TY <3

I fear that is an answer I am about to get
ꙮ great news
I have no idea why this guy is like … #1 NPC who needs a fucking hug but like …

idk, is a hug gunna help him fine the criminal mastermind on the top of interpol’s most wanted list?
ꙮ fhdsughiushwguhg

ꙮ guys it’s SO hard to remember to not use numbers T_T

^ ice is right
ꙮ it’s not MY fault Valaïs is cracked
tru, it’s awa’s
broke the moon
ꙮ thats RIGHT there’s SO many delicious plants that grow. full of delicious NECTAR

whats weird about a psychopomp coming to ferry a soul to hell
a whole fleet of psychopomps
though I suppose you aren’t wrong
the yan and only man
yan man tan van
o no
I think that’s scene? she would ask what he means about the “only man” and what the houses are but I am too sleepy to keep going and I think that’s a nice stopping point
ꙮ thank you for scene!! <3
thank YOU
Salme can’t even be weird about corpses here because they don’t have them apparently
ꙮ hahahahahah no being weird about corpses for u
ꙮ [finger on nose]
owned
:(
a loof of looves
ꙮ i have been hoping against hope that someone would ask a question that would prompt him to say “a loof of looves”
ꙮ and i am so inordinately pleased beyond measure that you have, now, done so
*the fact that they were both trying to idiot through numbers was Fun
ꙮ lmao that Ruled
ok so
you should describe Salme looking for and finding Awoken in the barracks
ꙮ Hachiiiiiiiiiiiiii
That can happen
ꙮ fuck yes
what IS salme wearing btw
probably her hussy beast outfit still. awa is allowed to appear an outfit for her ex nihilo if he so desires. that seems like something he can/would do
she hasn’t had time to change into her valaïs clothes yet
slash I haven’t finished the watercolor
ꙮ Hot.
ꙮ Hot, x2 combo
out of curiosity did we write down anywhere the numbering system of valais
ꙮ i have it if you need it lol
plsthx
ꙮ yan, tan, tethir, methir, neave; yan’neave, tan’neave, tetha’neave, metha’neave, loof; yan’loof, tan’loof, teth’loof, meth’loof, spaul; yan’spaul, tan’spaul, tethi’spaul, methi’spaul, hale. and then somewhere, eventually, you have a loof of looves
I was going to make a library entry eventually. I will do that soon.
don’t forget the days!

thank you
ꙮ god Valaïs is fun
I love this dude
can we have one for the ziggurat
iojfdd;lkjfs
I meant to say my last line to Methi’spaul Awl, do they react
ꙮ Oh shit sorry
HMMMMMMMMMMM
ꙮ hmmmmmm?
ꙮ wat
there’s just
a lot to gnaw on regarding that reply and subsequent unsaid reply
ꙮ :3c
ꙮ I mean she fully thinks she knows who you are and what your deal is, she’s just hilariously incorrect,
turns out east blue slummin’ it red hair shanks is a son of the god emperors, who knew
wait was that a recent OP reveal?
no but from various things I’ve glancingly read it’s a really strong theory
but I mean, glancing blows and all
thanks, I hate it
if you capture one hachi you have to keep it in an Enclosure (like one of those old school carnival fortune tellers), tho maybe it’s just a penny press
haha
ꙮ oh my fucking god lol
tell me more about hachi enclosures
just out of academic interest
it’s not an enclosure for hachi it’s an enclosure for creepy vaguely humanoid animatronics, like a fortune teller or erratic merchant
hahaha
god why can I not read
that makes so much more sense
too in character
https://strangepaths.aludel.xyz/library/calendars-counting-on-valais teak check this; though you gave in your list just now tan’loof, but casimir is tana’loof
ꙮ LOOF OF LOOVES <3 and yeah that’s correct; there’s uhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhhhh call it Regional Variation in how the compounds are formed
ꙮ tan’loof and tana’loof are equivalently accurate
table formatting is Weird :(
their YANST visit
ꙮ fixed, thank you icecylee :3
ice I love that you’ve become such a stickler for This Bullshit
teak made this bed they get to sleep in it
teak made this enclosure they get to roll around in it
salme is so good at this
she was just honest since the poor woman seemed about to have a heart attack
hachi this is your scene (though it is getting late) I don’t want to dominate it
I mean you took over when I wanted you to lol
and yeah tis getting late
do you work tomorrow?
ꙮ is that scene? that could be scene
scene
scene!
I do not but I am very le tired
at least you don’t work tomorrow!
ꙮ thank you both for scene!! that was Delightful
thank YOU teak wood!!
thank youuuu
who IS AWOKEN
what is HAPPENING
GIFTS FROM THE BEYOND
I don’t FUCKING KNOW
PROVOLONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
everyone seems to know you?
at least in the downbelow?
ꙮ (the other High Houses are Shagreen, Ebony, Spelter, and Pinchbeck)
ꙮ ???? nobody knew the Awoken in the Downbelow
ꙮ well the Merchant might have
ꙮ it’s a mystery
the merchant
and possibly the shadow
not the first merchant
the Merchant, capital M
the Merchant
salme wanted to shake them and force-methexis them but alas. she cannot do the latter and the first would be rude
unsaid but awoken’s going to go “yeah that was pretty tough, staying undercover like that. oh well! if anyone gives us shit at the ball we can just go nuts”
cheese and spice but no bread or crackers tho smh
ice keeping the important things in focus
they were so bad at undercover
and we’ll put the cheese and the spice on rice instead
ez
there weren’t no rice either!!!
these bitches aint got rice its pasta all the way down
we have rice
really we do need to drag aurelius around just to carry the bags from all the shopping.
god it would be
really obvious to do space science wouldn’t it
who the fuck thinks aurelius is wakling around with rice
ꙮ put a 20 pound asian market bag of rice in the pocket dimension
those were two separate thoughts but I think teak should give you a techne where you can just provide fresh bowls of rice on demand
I mean space science should happen at some point.
no rice, only dumpling
maybe once we get a better look at the violet light
ꙮ space science :3
ꙮ god Valaïs’ weirdness is so fun to narrate, lol
wait until you have to count past 20
ꙮ it’ll never happen, it’s fine
loof of looves
: “how many people in the ball hall” “approximately fuck you”
ꙮ yeah that one i was prepared for, Casimir’s a fucking nerd
: “four twenties! :D”
turns out we were in france after all
: “Methir Hales” hate that
I like “cares about counting past 100” == “fucking nerd”
ꙮ no he’s a fucking nerd because he was able to on the fly figure out how to express something in base ten lol
that’s why they pay him the big bucks
ꙮ although it’s not THAT hard to get to base 10 from mixed-base 5/20
yeah 5~10’s a pretty easy transition to catch, that’s why I got it immediately lol
ꙮ you got it because you’re cool and smart and good (and a fucking nerd)
actually you got it immediately because you’re smart
unlike those base 12 psychos
ajoiefjaiopsefjpowe I do love your grudge there
thats why mu is in a constant state of suffering, the original sin of thinking 13 was the wrap around number
wait weren’t they counting by 20s?
no??
I forgot how the finger thing worked
i still dont understand how the finger thing worked
they were counting to … 12 on one hand tho right? 12 or 20
12 yeah
with the thumb - OH i just got it
awoken just used three cueing to get by w/r/t numbers in Mu
well I’m glad someone understand the finger thing
ꙮ you can count to 12 or 16 or 31 on one hand, not 20
I feel like The Awoken gets by on three cueing a lot.
in like a hot way?
16???????????????????????????
31????
ꙮ (the numpad in the locked room was 20 digits tho :3c)
throws teak back into the ocean, this one’s clearly not safe to fish up
ꙮ 31 is just using your fingers for binary
unfortunately for you, they are well and truly fished considering your decades-long friendship
ꙮ 16 is like 12 except you count tips and knuckles, not phalanges
im not metal enough to count in binary
<Teak> “The Tip Counts”
I don’t understand the 12 thing. Do you not count the thumb?
ꙮ counting in binary is fun because you can encode “flipping someone both birds” as 132
no, you count with the thumb
ꙮ you count with your thumb, tapping your thumb against each phalanx
so 3 per finger
ohhh. my short fat little thumb struggles to reach my pinky so that never occurred to me
this is of course deranges but lizards didn’t always have opposable thumbs so I guess they don’t realize it’s weird to not count the thumb
Mu where everything is the same but the Kin don’t have thumbs
ꙮ i have freakishly long fingers lol
I have short fingers even for someone of my height. it’s rough.
ꙮ also I figured out how to count to 159,999 in Valaïs get fucked
how?
: do they have numerals?
tana’loof also the smartest man in valais
for being able to count that high
ꙮ figured out the words for vig 100 and vig 1000 respectively, which lets me count to vig JJJJ, which is decimal 159,999
ꙮ anyways enjoy yr provolone cheese
ꙮ thank you for giving me everything I needed to set THAT up without me having to ask for it <3
hachi is brilliant in that way
oh that was a cool scene you guys had
Sad Qarina wasn’t here to look in the merchant’s gem though
ꙮ Merchants are fun :3
I’m here. I apologize in advance because I am very flattened by my covid booster, so wolf’s probably going to be less active than usual

Yeah, I have no idea what I should do for mine. >.>
roll a d20!
ꙮ questions i was definitely going to ask at some point lmao i’m very curious
eight (easy choice), stillness-and-song (b/c there is no empty space, also awoken is the center of the universe (he thinks))
pick a random number and then pick your star is an easy way to do it
Tbh I didn’t have time to review, what would the Lantern-and-Eye correspond to? And number-wise let’s pick 7
ꙮ Metha’neave is 9, btw, Tetha’neave is 8
Tan’neave Lamp
ꙮ Lamp, yeah
Where do I find the list of stars?
apparently 8 and 9 are switched on there
ask me how I know
dyu’s technically watched by the key-and-gate but you can pick w/e really
ꙮ I probably said them in the wrong order at some point
you did this to yourself
ꙮ when in doubt blame Teakwood
lol I was copying what you typed out sorry I can fix them
I didn’t know that, but was thinking key-and-gate, so that works. For number…I’ll go 1, becuase it’s my position in rugby. LOL
(and I just picked what sounded good)

ꙮ you didn’t? I? Gave you the wrong information
I was gonna say something as if it were a meme but then I realized it’s not a meme it’s just a random thing from my own odd and specific childhood lol

that’s how things become memes, then we screenshot it and repost it for social media likes
Shoutout to the computer game version of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego
Yesssss
I do like hachi leading the charge on us all choosing calendricals
Casimir! Is! Cute!
he’s extremely cute
Cross-planar vocabulary lessons: we taught Casimir to say a hundred and Caion to say fuck. Really brings a tear to your eye
ꙮ jfhuodhgouiefhgoih
LOL
The best part is, teaching Caion to say fuck was probably more useful overall
You overestimate my brain capacity for novel numbering systems
haha
idk Casimir being able to count past 20 has been fairly useful so far
: “count past 20” @ French
ꙮ god okay i think I actually have my brain in gear now holy shit

If there’s caviar it feels like there should be champagne
ꙮ there’s definitely champagne flutes yeah
ꙮ also lmao Hachi I love you

you’re telling me this pig speaks latin????
Pauvre teakwood, assez petit dans la face d’une vrai langue
I mean, I said that, also knowing I, on purpose, learned the French lyrics to Une vie a t’aimer from Exp33. LOL
Turns out, that fight was a “drop the controller spoilers moment”
It wasn’t for me, because I don’t speak French!!
Belgian French is superior because they invented septante, huitante, and nonante
I do love those numbers
@Fen - Skill issue?
:P
ꙮ sung French is fucking peak unfortunately, I’m mad about it
GET REKT
They’re Good Vowels, Bront
ꙮ also Exp33 was a fun way to discover I actually CAN spot listen to enough French that song lyrics hit me like a fucking brick and I needed a minute, it happened SEVERAL times lol
@Reibello - False.
I never said I was -good- at singing the French lyrics, but I try to! :D
Too Many Vowels
Nothing but vowels
ꙮ at least French is honest about how many vowels it has unlike Fucking English
Why us many vowl when few work bettr
ꙮ which only has that many vowels because of French to begin with
ꙮ not to say French orthography isn’t fucking insane but it’s not nearly as bad as English lol
La langue francaise c’est une maniere de gagner au Scrabble, c’est tout
E…A…U…X!
ꙮ could be Welsh
I mean, it’s also like learning “Song of the Ancients” from Neir in the made up langue from the game.
Song of the Ancients might be easier lmao
all languages are made up exploding brain
All I know about Welsh is that double L is a sound where you put the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth like you’re about to make the English sound L but then you leave it there and blow air past it

appreciate the commitment to alliteration

(for the record, Padfoot very much appreciates the alliteration.)
Wait are we doing a Rite this session?
Yes
ꙮ Yes, I do not have good intradiegetic reason for Archie not to participate this time if you need to not do so, I’m sorry
Yeah I’m on my way to my family’s place to help them for the night and will therefore be obliged to be on my phone so I’m out, sorry
I mean I guess I could try just to try but I don’t think it’ll work well
ꙮ aight that makes the question of which lane has three people in it not a question I have to actually answer, feel free to like, handwave participation ICly and I won’t think about it very hard
ꙮ just pretend Archie’s fitan’
ꙮ give me one second
Archie can maybe hold off any potential reinforcements from among the possessed patrons in a separate, off-screen Rite
ꙮ there are rules for advising in a Rite but I don’t know them off the top of my head so I don’t expect anyone else to but if Ice wants to remind you of what they are we can let you give people buffs lol
That would also work!
I’ve not done a Rite before, so I might need some help once we start. >.>
Check your discord dms, fen
ꙮ oh for God’s sake one second
ꙮ technical difficulties
oh there’s like, a handful of lil helpful actions you can do lemme pull it up

Found it! Fen, would it help if I got on Discord with you? You can screenshare the Rite and I can help you just with mechanics and UI stuff. Happy to be a Rite advisor IRL too
> purple hyacinth
ꙮ :3c
Teo is giving me a rundown of the UI. :D
Excellent!
wonder what other flowers NNN will have up his sleeve
it’s too early for NNN
I wonder what alliterative taunts he’ll have
ꙮ Okay sorry about that, the redeploy blew away the Rite anyways lol
ꙮ so you’ll have to set up again
RIP but that’s mostly just me clicking while i wait on my late turn anyway lol
huh that’s weird i don’t actually get more usable space when I full screen, it places stuff up from where i’m aiming
not important right now tho
Let me take a quick sec to finish looking over tactician strategems
lmao I thought I took scorpion and the frog out of this deck!!
and yeah if you tactician it’s basically just, pick one of the three sets of three, and then you can use any 2 of those three options Whenever
ꙮ did someone play a weird card to the field or something
I see the broken link but not as far as I can tell
I did not at least
I don’t see anything weird
ꙮ why is EVERYTHING awful today
It appeared pretty early? not sure why
there’s something in the upper left that’s a broken link yeah
ꙮ well it’;s not actually making it impossible for me to click on those so i think i can deal lol
I get two alethics on hover?
I might have accidentally tried playing a card on teh previous iteration of the rite, figuring out the UI. >.>
yeah. I tried to add it to my hand to get it off the field but it just like … fudged things
ꙮ yeah I have NO idea how the shit that happened or what’s going on there but I’m already neck deep in tinny screaming so I’m just gonna roll with it
ꙮ SO the way this works is that the Manifestations are the actual targets
ꙮ they’re not combatants, I don’t get to play their Snipes, tragically
ꙮ man these opening hands are dogshit they don’t have ANY of the cool cards in them
lawl
Ice - lemme know which flavor of support card you’d like
I’m gonna take Heart Aspect so I guess technically I could legally Mulligan them lol
hmm
if I snipe, do I choose from the manifestation or the shadow
Can I go first in round order?
ꙮ anything card related targets the Shadow’s hands
ꙮ the Manifestations’ hands aren’t real and cannot hurt you
Pffft
ꙮ uhhhh when DO advisors go
X
tacticians can happen Whenever You Want, they don’t care about turn order
wait so we snipe the shadows hands, not the manifestations?
ꙮ yes
Oh! I assumed you had to pick a spot and stick with it, that makes sense. It’s two effects at any time during a round, each round, right?
all these unique cards fuck
naw, two effects over the course of the entire rite, but whenever you think they’d be most useful
they’re mild bonuses instead of big torqs
Ohhh, gotcha
ꙮ anyways I cheated and re-drew hands on the Shadow until I was happy lol dealwithitdog.jpg
Command+ is quick that’s very silly what was I smoking
probably Brillance and Command and then see if you got anything better than turning ivory blood on probably???
: “it’s the same action economy it’ll be fiiiiiiiiiiine”
uhh [Dark Prophecy!] seems like a prime snipe
yeah teo’s got it <3
ꙮ well snup, yes
Luĉja didn’t have their sword or shield handy, so it’s support deck this time to see how it does
Yeahhh Dark Prophecy does very silly things
I’m looking forward to seeing how they might use Defuse
when u click nothing up my sleeve it just says ‘nice try, kiddo’ lol
That’s standard for cards we haven’t viewed yet.
Teak if I want to target The Shadow for libra, who do I actually target? Or can we not interact with the manifestations at all?
But I’m sure once it happens you’ll go Now You See It
sorry I’m a dumbfuck and struggling to understand
Figuring out which card too snipe, apologies for delay
You’re not a dumbfuck, I’ll fight you if you talk about my friend like that
ꙮ Salme: it’s all the same thing, there’s One Dude On The Field, I just had to represent it weirdly
ꙮ also what Teo said

ꙮ so if you use Libra you just… target the pretentious theatre kid with it, it’ll be fine
NNN is Emet-Selch confirmed?
ꙮ like most of the actual targeting is stuff only I have to worry about, I just wanted to convey that the Shadow decks are the ones that are real and I’ll be playing from

is that a reference?

Accidentally I think
ꙮ i named him that and then AS I WAS FALLING ASLEEP that night went
ꙮ ”oh Ice will lol extra hard at that”
hahaha
Ice - you want a double play off rip, or save it?
That was the name of the Primary Antagonist of the ZG. (Long running adventure path for D&D aleith ran for like two years, which was in a setting REMARKABLY similar to valais)
nice
oooh ok
ugh shining nova shoul dhave Reach ;_;
get rekt
off rip?
like right away
aah
yeah might as well, no compelling reason to hold it I don’t think
word
I also ahve global damage buff, so if anyone wants the explosions button pushed, lemme know
ꙮ anyways people who are not in the leftmost lane (mostly Fen): think about what card you’re going to want to play while the lane in front of you is resolving
on it boss
ꙮ OH
Got it!
If anyone has a full but bad hand shout out because I can make you mulligan, I’d prefer to save my abilities for defends but this is a good aggressive use of an ability too

aww yeah
yesssssss

ha ha ha
I love this one
as is his tradition
yeah same exact wording
ꙮ oops did not actually mean to loop that
and yeah love how the jazz hands mix also feels the most distinct of them all lol

ꙮ this is probably my single favourite Rite remix lol
This is so good

I wish I had the necessary skill to electroswingify this
It Real Good
Awa, are you going, or shall I?
I’ll go, I had to alter my action due to accepting
Gotcha!
lmao Awoken’s deck name
oh my god
ꙮ ’the name he once held’, as opposed to ‘any name he may have had’, not quite the same wording, btw :3c
oooh I didn’t catch that
ꙮ Fen, if you played a card to the table, I missed it dicking around with the UX, it’s really the text here that I need to keep track of what’s happened
I haven’t, because I wasn’t sure if Hachi was done. xD HIs icon isn’t greyed on my screen
ꙮ if he played a card, he’s done
ꙮ also turns in a lane really happen simultaneously anyways
Question - If I go last and my card says until end of round, is it just a dead card?
yeah
RIP
ꙮ wtf card says that
pretty sure war cry does
Counter, War Cry,
there’s a few things that care about going early, that were worded for flexible turn order rather than a locked in one
Fen, be sure to Discard brilliance after you play it (click on the card and hit the trash basket)
(probably one of the things I’d change having seen how things are working now and esp with the bigger than expected party size with the power of hidesight, but at this point probably just don’t put ‘em in your deck if you plan to anchor lol)
Thank you! Sorry!
I still have a card to play. Brilliance is quick
ꙮ I mean we CAN always change shit
ꙮ fredhueghueroitgh fuck sorry
It’s fine, I’m the one taking forever to figure my shit out. LOL
we can change shit but idk how worth while a full ass overhaul would really be this far in lol
ꙮ meh as long as the card names and images can stay the same lmao
disc 2 rite adjustment
rerite
gahahahahh
CDRW
ꙮ sorry Teo what actually… happened there how did you play four cards
Ice - do you have Rage or VF?
Three of them were quick
ꙮ OH they fucking upgrade
Briliance draw one, Tracer+, Command+, Who Dares
OH are tracer and command glorified?
use an exclamation point after the name but before the ] to show the glory version
For the future, if I play a quick card, I’ll try to note it in OOC.
ꙮ please remember to exclamation mark your upgraded cards
[Command!]
ꙮ also for Quicks you can just play them in the same post like Teo just did
yeh
ꙮ but I might get confused and catch on fire if their base forms aren’t Quick lol
Okay! This is gonna take me a few times to get the hang of.
I don’t have either in hand, tragically
<3 all good and of course!
I don’t want them in your hand. I want to Omen Forgery them
aaah yeah I got ‘em in deck
perf
you’ll never guess what I’m doing next turn
I gotta bio real quick, brb.
triple [Everyone Dies Some Day]
my void flare IS upgraded….
Aw yay! Real happy to see a bunch of cards in Archie’s deck cropping up in this fight
I’m fuckin’ around in this fight idc, I’m about to add another dance partner
damn i can’t believe awa isn’t taking this goofy encounter with some guy he may or may not know seriously
I’m back
Me and Cat up next?
it’s partially because he may or may not know him yeah haha
ꙮ why the fuck… agh
I’m sorry, WHO DARES, take a turn?
ꙮ Something is wrong and it’s not letting me add defense to my pogs, I think I know why, lol, ugh, this fucking fight, I’m sorry
we trust you to run the numbers as they’d be
Don’t worry about it, it’ll work out
ye ^
Is that draw 2 to everyone?
shared growth affects me too, right?
yes
It’s fine, the [Who Dares] I played would have eaten that defense anyways <3
across lanes
Shared Growth/Living Shadow go brrrr
…dies living shadow proc on ALL five allies drawing during a single action
and ice … suddenly gets a lot of cards b/c living shadow
i guess it does, that’s stupid as fuck lmao
ꙮ living shadow is silly
So everyone draws 2, except ice, who draws … a lot
ꙮ checks out
One of my favorite draw engines. Archie drew like 9 off it that one time, good memories
got dang rhystic study putting in the work
Pleeease tell me your Rage is upgraded, ice?
it is not
i upgraded wind up instead, lol
aury only really gets angry at SQ
oiewafjdsposdjpo
Anything left in your deck lolf?
(also I drew 3 b/c I missed that I got 1 EOT draw for my first quick in round 1 oops)
I can’t see because of your tokens
Real Ultimate Power, Break, Normal Rage, The Final Seal Is Broken
are the good options i haven’t drawn yet
want any doubles? Or are you good on options lol
: “are you good on options” aury holding nearly his entire deck
only nearly
(btw I draw 2 at the beginning of my turn, yw ice)
Honestly I think I’m gunna wind up this turn then void flare next? but two free Final Seals wouldn’t hurt if we expect the fight to go that long
Awa, I’ve got Omen Forgery, if you need it. ;)
you might actually be able to play that card since you’ll get through your entire deck
that REALLY shouldn’t interact with passive draw lol
… extremely gay card
VERY gay
want to go first, dyu? I’ll let you lead this dance :3
Honestly Teo,
I can! Do you want/need omen forgery?
I think the play might be me wind up and you condemnation
I wouldn’t mind it
Oh God, i could reconjure tracer and tracer your void flare
and then go from there
so yes
You got it!
That’s what I’m leaning towards
and you could do that in between too, lmao
How big can we make a void flare?
chonkin
omg
Nico in our lane hasn’t taken a turn yet this round, right?
He has
hachi I love you
Crap, okay, can’t do somethign I just drew. Okay, then.
mmm yeah, Breath kinda suffers with static order, huh
Hey Hachi - Awoken should have 1DEF from last round - Fen’s passives - I forgot to mention
ye~
that’s another +1 def now
that should do it until refreshes happen
I clicked the wrong thing, so I’m one def over. xD
oop early click
ꙮ whose Wild Swing is that?
mine didn’t mean to deploy it yet
team right side accidentally clicked too fast
ꙮ clicked too fast so hard you adjusted turn order
So Ice
I know we said “Tracer the void flare”
Do you want a tracer or BOTH VOID FLARES
reconjure doesn’t have reach fyi so it’s just beast bros
awww
I think tracer + wind up -> Void Flare into Exposure would hit harder?
Yeah it does
Mathematically, it’s the move
unrelatedly I think [omen forgery] still keeps the original card in your deck for you to draw later but doing copying shenanigans is fraught so I’m just gonna play the cards as-is because why stress about it
ye
lmao these attacks
teakwood how long have you been sitting on this
OH YOU’RE EXPOSING YOURSELF? DO MY JOB FOR ME YOU MADMAN
……………………………. phantom of the opera assed motherfucker
ꙮ a while
Teak - did you hit me or Aury with that 8?
ꙮ basically ever since I promised Catherine a costume ball
ꙮ I hit Aury with it, did you have tank bullshit up?
No, just wanted to check
Would the card that got played on Wolf have expired by now?
ꙮ Nope, left-hand manifestation hasn’t gone yet
Oh, good.
Wolf has done the most successful attack of the fight - staining Nicodemus’ clothing
fucking A+
lol

Ahh, okay! I thought you were talking about this turn. xD

did you expose, teo?

oh lol
ꙮ Wolf if you have a big fuck you nuke you can use it lol

You know what, sure.
Can I retcon and have EDSD back to discard for Wild, Pure?
ꙮ Yeah
oh sure

Awa, you can go first, and I’ll see what’s left!
tfw you arrive in the land of the undead and everyone playin’ Everyone Dies Someday
60 seems to be the cap that a few of us have hit damage wise. I wonder if we can break it :D :D
infinite is technically more
if we had a bit of sequencing and right turns, probably
ꙮ furogerhighjergoi Ice
Awww, man, I had something I was gonna do. Ah well.
wait was that 60?
tbhidk
each void flare was 10 (x 4) + 10 from real ultimate power, so 50 x 2 = 100 at least.
tracer only works for one attack
Dang
How big is the big mirror, oh dragon mine?
oh oops. okay. So VF 1 (tracer gives +4, rage +2, war cry +2 + 2) = 10 x 2 = 20, real ultimate power = (rage +2, war cry +2) = 10, and then VF 2 (rage +2, war cry +2, +2) = 6 x 2 = 12; 20 + 10 + 12 = 42 x 2 for exposure, 84?
ꙮ goddamn
ah yes
ꙮ and uhhh it’s like, two lucjas tall let’s say
NEW HIGH SCORE!
I forgot war cry I wasn’t sure if it was cross lane
Okay, so I am not moving the mirror, got it.
a number MUCH larger than the system was designed to accomidate, if nothing else
this is just like that game julian ran…. lol
ꙮ ?
oh there was a campaign julian ran one time, and like it was the first time he was GMing using that system? and it was designed to mostly deal with single, sometimes double digit numbers. and one or two of his players were like, SUPER minmaxers and started regularly doing like, triple digit damage lol
