Sandy marsh trail.
The stars twinkle in the clear night sky. The paved road passing through this
area is dry and covered with sand from the nearby beach. The beach stretches far
inland, pushing the humidity and encompassment of the swamp to the east and
replacing them with the pleasantries of a coast. The soothing sounds of the tide
are broken only by the occasional cry of a sea bird and the scuttle of wary
creatures crossing into and from the swamp.
You see exits leading north, southeast, and south.
Your movement causes your magical shield to dissipate.

Sandy marsh trail.
The stars twinkle in the clear night sky. The paved road passing through this
area is dry and covered with sand from the nearby beach. The beach stretches far
inland, pushing the humidity and encompassment of the swamp to the east and
replacing them with the pleasantries of a coast. The soothing sounds of the tide
are broken only by the occasional cry of a sea bird and the scuttle of wary
creatures crossing into and from the swamp. A huge archdemon looms here,
surrounded by black mist.

Jesus. Asmoth is a mid-level Merian, a race known for having the constitution of tissue paper, yet multiple tortures didn't even phase him. Not to mention Nayl hacking away later on.

Mourn my Nihilist suckiness.

He has the mana to clot

What you SHOULD have done when Nayl rocked up was aeon whore. aeon aeon aeon aeon aeon aeon aeon.

Get a scroll of protection.

Looked like he was using protection... only 2 effects out of.. 7? were hitting

That only makes him good for support. I think his question here is why he couldn't defeat Asmoth on his own despite scoring multiple of the Nihilists' strongest attack, minus instakills.

Healspring and sweetfount are wonderfully underrated things my friend.
*refrains from further comments*

Looks like Asmoth was silly and forgot to dissolve.

Also, Torture is easy to cure up after unless you somehow get chain tortured (ie. 2-3 in a row without interruption).

Kaileigh - sweetfount is, indeed, wonderful. Healspring, however, just sucks.

Considering Merians heal in water already with healspring its better.

Yeah, but the idea was to win. I suggest the aeon thing as what to do when he /arrives/.

Also, you can't go straight for torture and expect to win. You have to mess the foo' up first.

Haha, Kahazul doesn't have aeon.

My "patented Nihilist strat" involves investing shackles, shackles, paralysis, stupidity and anorexia, whoring moon tarot (with enigma up, of course), and then aeoning them, preferably when they're shackled/anorexic/stupid. Then I quicken, quadruple-leech, and go for wrack. Excellent against low int races.

*cough* Theif * cough* I will have my lawyer on this. I find shackles shackles anorexia stupidity works better personally. Paralysis is too easily recovered from.

Huh. I didn't know you could double-invest a power to raise the chance of it hitting.

Wee.

It really doesn't matter.

There is no difference in investing: shackle, shackles, paralyse, paralyse then just "shackles, paralyse"

Furthermore, I think you are better off to have an afflict in there that has the same message as another that does something the target isn't likely to expect or react to like... mana leech.

Heh, I don't know if my DSL is a slow connection or it was all the afflictions I was getting nailed with, but I was concentrating on healing like a bitch then I noticed Nayl came in ninja style and started attacking me.

So when I noticed it was two on one, with a sword swinger AND Nihilist, I ran for the hills.

Meh,

I couldn't dissolve because I was too busy healing.

Asmoth

Meh,

I've been thinking tons of reincarnating, because if someone has decent or overpowered swords (coughMURPHYcough) they can take me down quick as crap.

I need to find a race that's going to be a good deal of hp without giving up craploads of mana or intelliegence..

Asmoth

You won't. You just have to be a champion healer and hindrer, and not expect to take on teams.

I tried human aqua: level 75ish, had 14 int (and 16 int with knowledge blessing). I was one tanky mofo, but I couldn't kill anyone with decent health. I had telepathy though, there's only so much I can slow someone down with it.

I have been working on healing and such, seeing as Ethelon's free system is very buggy (but a great base system) so I've been steadily improving it.

I have found that if I can hinder/afflict someone a bunch then throw up a demesne with flashflood, it can really turn the tide. A lot of people are smart enough to not go after a mage in the demesne, but don't expect you to take the time and hits to meld one right under their feet.

I did this against some geomancer like 2 days ago and I could tell it just totally screwed up her rhythm

Asmoth

Good, its nice to see someone experimenting.

*coughLucidiancough*
