I have no idea what anypony is actually talking about right now @-@
And I have no idea if I'm needed to post anywhere ><
Help please?
What Benson said, you had a scene with Asis and them with Luka.
Also, some ponies have moved onto the next day, on account of the vampony plot taking longer than expected. You could have Blaze get up and start preparing the ship for the wedding, discussing things with Hover, that sort of thing.

Okay, that logic makes sense and all. The problem I'm having is that, to use the alligator analogy, why would he go and kill the alligator with three legs gone and his jaw tied shut rather than one of the many other alligators that are actively trying to bite our flanks off? It's less whether or not he's a Shaolin Monk, it's more that there were bigger threats to go after, and his logic (to me) says that he'd go after those bigger threats to ensure that everypony got out alive.
After the fight, I'd totally see him try to kill them off for good if nopony stopped him, but that's only after they've all been incapacitated.
I'm not trying to specifically go after you because you're doing disagreeable things. Far from it, RPs like this thrive on inter-character conflict caused by such actions. It's just that I don't quite see the logic as you stated matching up with his actions.
*nodnod* I see your point there, and if these were normals, you'd have the right of it. In this case, though, it's less that there are other alligators and more that the alligator in question can regrow limbs and burn ropes if the sun is out. But Daniel doesn't have a watch. He'd rather take what may well be crucial seconds to get an enemy out of the game FOREEEEVEEERRR then jump into the rest of the fray when he has no idea if FPS can just get right back up. Keep in mind he's never experienced short-term vampiric regeneration, and so has no idea what vampires are really capable of, even semi-staked, when left alone.
I hope I'm making sense with this, rather than just causing more confusion.

Again, I totally understand the logic, but I think you might be forgetting something: We've just had a fight with the exact same type of vamponies, where it was shown that leaving stakes in them after they were conked out meant they were down for good. And so far, every vampony we've taken out has had some amount of wood (either a stake, arrow, or one of them food skewers) plunked into them. In fact, Rainbow made a point of not lethally shooting that one pegasus Daniel hypothetically decapitated.
And if that wasn't enough, we still had the experience with Zephyr earlier at the club, where Daniel plunked stakes into him, and kept him from regenerating. Zephyr even said words to the effect of "You gotta take these stakes out before I can do anything". He only regenerated after Sandy removed the stakes. There might've been a third time, when we were dealing with Meadow, but I don't know for sure, so I won't cite it.
So Daniel has, on two different occasions, seen vampony regeneration halted by the presence of wood, and he's also seen that KO'd vamponies don't get back up when they've got wood stuck in them.
Would that affect his thinking any?
(Note: I am getting on my super logical voice, which is hard to distinguish from a stern, "blargh blargh you're wrong" voice. To ensure the correct tone comes through, here is a smiley with its tongue sticking out: )

I concede to your points (all of which are spot-on) and admit that I didn't think that one through, justifications after the fact aside. While more lethality was likely to happen, that was really...pointless. We could probably drill deeper into the psychology, sure, but what can I really do about it?

If Benson allows, you could retcon his action to, say, assisting Rainbow with the shooting down of vamponies. If it was an honest mistake that Daniel wouldn't have made in-character, I know I wouldn't have a problem with calling the proverbial mulligan. Less than a round has passed since the action took place, so it's not like great, irreparable consequences have happened yet. Not to mention that, so far, only two PCs really took notice enough to say/do something. And I even designed my post to work if you decided to un-do the action.
This was a nice little discussion, by the way. Gave me a good look at what's going on in the brain of our resident nutty bard.

RETCON. NOCTER. I shall make a pony named Noctor whose special talent is fixing his past mistakes for a favorable future Exclamation mark, exclamation mark.
On unrelatedness, what is the opinion on the maps? Are they as effective as my head thinks? Should I continue using them? Etc etc
They're useful for roughly confirming who is where and what's going on. I don't really look at the map though, mind; mostly just a glance here and there.

Question: Is Flare and co going to scene-merge with Tyrol/mysterious pony and co at the town gate? Might make for an interesting (if messy) fight.

Uh, Luka, I think you keep accidentally glossing over Purity's characters with your battle sequences.

I have a question for Luka before I can respond to the battle scene -
Did the armor disperse the shadow spell and use the raw energy for power, or did it absorb the shadow magic itself?
The main difference being, is it the full spell - under Arvadraa's complete control due to being her shadows and all - or a generator catalyst?

@Benson: Uh, if Gear just said "Let's go forward", then Sandy would've kept up the rant as they'd advanced. The whole point wasn't to waste time, and advance while Sandy gave the guy an earful.
