Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIX: To FAIL, or not to FAIL?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Simply put, he won't.

Can Q?

[T-O-E]

Xartyve2:
I have some questions, hope you can answer them.

How many dimensions are there?
Why is he staying in the wrong dimension? Do you have to wait to cast again?

Hope I haven't missed anything.
Thanks.

[Falgorn]

Being that Damien and X2 are the leaders of the group, having both of them in one group would make it op. How about this:

The top row in the picture is knocked unconcious by the artiallery and captured by machinists. The bottom row is wounded and retreats to make a plan to break them out of the fortress while under constant attack from bluewings. Meanwhile top row escapes from the fortress.

I like CA's idea and yours. I say we break up into groups, though, so everyone is happy. I need mah apprentice on my side, at least.

What's making my back crack in keveaks comic?

Sounds good to me

Q1: Infinite
Q2: The investors who paid for the spell research demand that he stay for commercial and scientific reasons.
Q3: 2 days. Thats the intervals that anyone can cast them. Example: x2 just cast it so everyone else who knows the spell (all two of them) have to wait 2 days as much as he does.

It's that time again, I'm art upgrading, primarilly to make the characters sharper, more detailed and just plain better looking.


I'm serious, It'd be great if anyone had something about my style that drives you insane to tell me. :D Here is what i'm working for in addition to yer comments.

Sharper lines

More detailed outfits

Move ability for characters in robes



thank 'ee

[X2]

Sounds good to me

You don't mind being captured?

[chriky]

Actually, I was just obnoxiously fixing Q's spelling mistakes...

Yeah or that, but I think my idea is much more likely.

[-skimmer-]

You don't mind being captured?

Being captured in one cell with Falgorn is the best way how to finally start that nemesis thingy in the plot

I like this idea as well.

[CrimsonAngel]

Sinister, could you post a picture of your characters brain fairly large. (spoilered.)

[Fay Graydon]

so whos Team Evil in FFF:HHNF?
(my name for its waaaaaay cooler :P Heck Hath No Funnies...)

[SinisterPenguin]

Just the brain?

EDIT:

Spoiler

Show

Is that big enough?

[-skimmer-]

(my name for its waaaaaay cooler :P Heck Hath No Funnies...)

Just the blue devils, some demon master and his slave, and the Machinist (the demons with tanks) for now..

[CrimsonAngel]

Yes, I plan to copy it.

Dude, if we still had organization wouldn't we be in FI already? :P

Um...I think he meant the whole character...

That is the whole character

In science we're learning about resources so we get to make a coloring book about a resource we pick. Everyone in my group drew a character. Basically, our book is about 2 teenagers and a robot sitting at a gas station (oil) and a monster attacks us. the teenagers are actualy the "patrolium monster slayers" (or PMS, for short.) And we force feed him a cheeseburger so he goes from an oil monster to a cheeseburger monster. Just thought you'de like to know.

[Lemming]

If it matters I'de pick You, keveak, and lemming tpo fight with. (no offense to anyone else, the next to would be skimmer and falgorn's characters. Not realy sure about Q and gremlin.) I just like hangin' with spell casters.

...Ummm...I'm not there right now...I'm back at base...And how did you know I'm a spellcaster? I haven't even shown him except for when he threw the waterbottle at Keveak... And even then he didn't leave the portal. I guess the voice in the comic when the portal closes could have been me... But still...

He is a brain. Ask Sinister to tell you the backstory I'm busy writing plot relevant comics here.

Oops! I ment Sinaster.

[Keris]

I think it's still pretty impolite to just go ahead and have Dekopin perfectly fine after all the chatter on the inherently negative survival rate of the plane.

Which is the essence of the joke, really. She's fine, even though she's in the most dangerous place known to Epic-Levelled-Spellcasterkind.

Gods and demigods are magic-based after all, they shouldn't be able to survive in it either. So logically Dekopin and buddies could only be in a pocket of soft Incarnum, which they'd be able to survive in but which has no atmosphere, and even then in a short amount of time they'd be disintegrated and dissolved as the heavy Incarnum moves in.

Dekopin isn't really a magic based god... she just is. I personally resent the application of any structure to Avbaroy, whether it's the core DnD rules, a variant campaign setting, or any other system. I feel they restrict people, but I've learn to go along with it it most cases, as the majority seem to like the idea of "magic physics". Which I utterly detest. I mean, magic is supposed to defy physical laws.

Even given that, the freaking door on the edge of the plane is pretty cheap. Significantly more plausible, because magic works on the planar shell and Dekopin as a demigod likely has the power to cover it, but cheap.

Rule of Funny. And additionally, "cheap" in a slang sense usually means overpowered, but you just said that Dekopin could conceivably do it.

It was in PMs so logically there's only so much I can convince you of without Threeshades confirming it, but here we are:

Which seems to me to more like Threeshades being customarily lazy, and then passing up the opportunity for a climatic battle. Come on people, this is the boss fight! The prophesied two are facing their foe! We need some epic combat, not a "divert to instant death zone".

[CrimsonAngel]

I thought the door thing was funny...

[chriky]

Come on people, this is the boss fight! The prophesied two are facing their foe! We need some epic combat, not a "divert to instant death zone".

Although I would often take the side of Lying, that is very persuasive and I have to agree.

[Emperor Ing]

Lying: Due to crappy internets, I cant post my response to your comic. Its done but not uploaded. May be up on sunday or if im lucky, saturday

[memnarch]

*argument*

While I certainly can tell where both sides are coming from, ABR is essentially a giant sandbox. One can use pre-existing material (dnd based things, video games, etc.) or make their own things up. It's the main reason why I like Kp's idea of the universe so much; people can keep adding things on as they like and just say that "physics" worked differently.

I'm siding with Keris as it seems more fair for people to run wild with their imagination.

[X2]

Okay, Sinister, Skimmer and Falgorn, post your getting captured pics.

Everyone else... RUN THE HELL AWAY!

[DoomITP]

*tests fayte's stroke style in inkscape* hurrah!!! this is exactly what i needed
