This fight was absolutely horribly on my part... or really well done on Alianna's not sure which.. probably both.

You eat a horehound blossom.
CURED healthleech

I never recall using healthleech.

If anyone has advice on stopping metawake, that'd be nice, too.

System: Attracted to Alianna!

You better not be! She's too young to get hitched.

I agree.

I'd be very interested to know what "system" this is, as it looks like an old version of mine with the name replaced to make it appear generic.

Alianna, if you want to stop metawake, start draining his mana.

metawake works with 0 mana. Of course he'll have none, but it still works. the plus side is you can paralyse and he can only cure with allheale.

Vathael needs to sip love. Always sip love against bards, with the potential exception of city tarot bards. Put earwort back up as well

A few things:

Alianna appears to play the Argentine Lyre of Trialante, but you hear no sound.
-this is major, you never put deafness up once you lost it (this is her trying to strip it a second time, but you never put it back up), this is your biggest defense verses bards, not having deafness verses bards is like not having rebounding, stance and parry up while fighting a warrior. :\\

In addition to this, you

ate faeleaf, giving yourself blindness.

then,

ate myrtle, curing your blindness.

then,

ate faeleaf, giving yourself blindness.

then,

ate myrtle, curing your blindness.

then,

lets just say it goes on for the whole fight, eating herbs in groups of two for no purpose, your system (and you?) appear to not recognize that faeleaf doesn't give deafness anymore.

If you fix those two problems (really one problem with two symptoms) you'll do a hell of a lot better against any bard.

OUTR EARWORT;EAT EARWORT

^ this will solve many of your problems.

What I find actually amazing is the amount of times you hit her and so little misses when striking her. Alianna is not trans acrobatics, but when she gets trans acrobatics, do not ever expect to hit her so many times. It cannot be done, trust me.

If you can hit her, Alianna goes down like a club through a paper bag. Bards aren't too well defended. You can get a quick decap if you're clever about it.

You should be able to, which was wierd he hit her so many times, yet he wasnt doing anything to her from what it seems affliction wise, he was working bleeding arteries and not worse wounds, such as a heartpierce or behead, or even disembowel.

The reason behind my defing blindness is because I have it temporarily put on there not actually set up to be a defense, so when it finds out I'm blind, it checks and sees it's not supposed to be a defense it heals it and puts it back up because I told it to. Simple fix, just... haven't.
