You enter the Land of Abel, passing a small magical field as you make your way in.
Past the gate a woman greets you.

>"Welcome to the Land of Abel, the most successful and well protected land on the planet. It seems you're new to the land, would you like a tour?"

She speaks like someone who either really loves their job or will die if they fail at it.

...I hate time mage opponents, I really do. And Doom doubles my hate.

Have Alice fly as high as possible while being in range to shoot. She needs to be 3 squares high to ignore doom.
>>
No. 392115 ID: fcf88e

Bloody hell, the bugger is a time mage type. We may want to give Overlord the fire wand and keep Alice away so she cannot become doomed.

We can't make him run out of mana easily so pound away at him from long range. The fact Alice can fly over the gap may give us an advantage.

If we can fatigue it, we may win by simply shooting it at range until it dies.

>>392108
Hmm. This could be nasty but I think we can handle it as long as we don't really screw up.

For now, let's use standard long-ranged attacks to test for any unexpected defenses- we can have Alice use Rapid Shot next turn if all goes well now.
>>
No. 392174 ID: 88e5ad

it's gonna haste itself and disable both of us before we can do jackshit, isn't it.

>>
No. 392202 ID: 5f55fe

>>392112
I'm pretty sure flight doesn't work like that.

The only issue would be if it casts doom and then Stop. That would let it advance the ticker. Same with temporal shift. The answer is just nuke it hard and fast.

Alice should use light arrow and dark arrow mostly freely, to get lots of damage out there. The only time the Day Eater can deal normal damage is with a regular attack, and honestly, that is far better for us than it casting Stop or Temporal Shift.

The goal is to stay as far away as possible, evading it for as long as possible (probably going to only be 2-3 turns) until we get doomed. Then Alice should fly over the pit so she can stay out of melee range, and she can then burn all her spare HP into light arrows, while Overlord keeps the Day eater as occupied as possible.
>>
No. 392203 ID: 5f55fe

Also, Doh! We forgot the Burst shoes. If we can still equip them, they should go to Alice, so she can stay out of melee range, potentially even if slowed.
>>
No. 392241 ID: a3b384

>>392203
Alice has wings, she can fly. The only damage he can cause is melee, and Doom has a range of 3. We could literally walk away and let her pelt the thing to death. I'd rather not since it's kinda rude, but if the battle keeps too long we should consider it. Especially if Overlord gets near the end of a doom infliction. Putting the burst shoes on ourselves will make being slowed not nearly so bad.
>>
No. 392279 ID: 5f55fe

>>392241
She can only move 3, even if she's flying, and although Doom only has a range of 3, we don't know the range of his other spells. Not to mention he has Haste, Slow, and Temporal Shift, all of which can be used to close the gap frighteningly quick.
>>
No. 392286 ID: 49d4d7

This means we have to use the gap in the map. Alice can fly over that anytime, but the boss can only cross at one square.

No. 392299 ID: 5f55fe

Whatever, it's useless arguing, we'll take it one turn at a time, but trust me, that if the boss really wants to close the gap, he can.

Alice flying straight up would be useful in this fight. Remember she has TRUE flight so she can use a vertical difference to her advantage.

Also she can float over the chasm there.

You might want to take the time and notice that Alice's Move phase was not mentioned. With Flight she can still only move three spaces. Moving up and down counts as a space. By moving three spaces up she has used up her entire move phase.
She can even combine moving up and down with other movements. For instance, she could move one up and two to the left. Or two down and one to the right.

Anyway she fires an arrow at the Day Eater dealing 25dmg

Blade and rapid shot for sure, we need to focus on taking it down as fast as possible.

Is there falling damage? Alice should move three higher if there is, just in case this guy tries to teleport to her and cast something. At least he will get a smack when he falls.
>>
No. 392400 ID: fcf88e

Weird.... the guy seems pretty clock/time based. Since we have no plans to use our item phase, let's use it to simply show the golden watch to the Day Eater. For all we know, this could be used to control him since they seem really similar for some odd reason(clock that tells doom and a clock based golem who has doom as a ability? Odd...)

Other than that, use our gun. We want consistent damage if we want to bust this guy.

Repairing means it's almost certainly a construct. The gem is likely to the Day Eater as our eye is to Overlord. Even if destroying that doesn't kill it, it might limit its magic.

Honestly I think we should try the recruiting if that is what it implies. This fellow is a pretty strong golem and if the golden watch has a secondary function, having him with us may prove helpful.

Besides, a harem should have variety. After all, some of us like guys here. Besides, the LAST female we recruited to the 'Harem' caused nothing but trouble and made Emily sad.

Also, a time mage is STILL a time mage. Bitch to deal with, lovely to have.

Smart bugger. Stop allows him to speed up Doom and gives us less time to damage him. Don't heal just yet. Use a turn to put on the angel ring and focus on just hitting him.

Remember, dispair has a chance of causing fatigue which means he can only move or attack while affected. Try not using the sword since it has pretty meh accuracy compared to the gun. Right now we need a steady stream.

Now this looks like something we can use. First, let's show our resident tinkerer the orb to see what she can do with it exactly. Being able to teleport or giving us some time based powers could give us a major edge. Hell, regeneration may come from it.

Also inform her about the connection to the golden watch. This may be important later on.

How did Shana's experience with the tribal leader go?
