To the Battle of Everglades location?

Taklinn shows up in Faerun. The Everglades are a marshland near the Peaks of Flame in the Chult Jungles. Apparently some of the kingdoms in Halruaa and Thindol battled over some resource on the Peaks of Flame. Moving through the thick Jungle, the few travelers on the way stare in awe at Taklinn (apparently his exploits are getting heard, from defeating Valorian and the Colossus to his other antics). When he finally arrives, he feels some... radiating influence, not a baneful one, that gives him great physical might, a new power coursing through his veins. Kikalaiee must have been a Warhulk of truly cosmic strength. However, it seems that a Kithrotto has similarly been attracted here. It roars at Taklinn, daring him to retreat.

The elemental ignores Taklinn and advances forward. Taklinn acts first.

First of all, Yang Shadow is a LEGENDARY, not a FORBIDDEN; the Forbidden is Yang Metal. Second, it's passive with any sword ki attuned weapon, so all you're doing is passives. Just a basic sword strike?

oh shit i got forbidden and forbidden 2 tabs, better use som of them, yang's metal could be fun yeah just a transgressive power attack, tie it into a transgressive awesome blow

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Nov 10, 2006 21:50:18 GMT -5
What's an awesome blow? Just the net effect of all your passives?
|

Post by Vincent Hack on Nov 12, 2006 13:28:42 GMT -5
now, awesome blow is a type of attacks primarily used by giants to send their opponents flying

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Nov 13, 2006 4:14:25 GMT -5
So you're doing an expelling blow. Fly up, down, straight, into an object, what's the plan?

knock him into the air, i'm going to try to keep it separate from the ground as often as possible

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Nov 19, 2006 5:11:59 GMT -5
All right, I'm going to put my foot down and ask for an actual description of your action. I.e. "Taklinn charges forward, blade to his side, lifting it up in a quite literal uppercut in an attempt to use his Awesome Blow to throw the opponent into the air."
|
|

Post by Vincent Hack on Nov 20, 2006 19:09:03 GMT -5
pretty much, though he is charging foward in flight and plants his feet into the ground when he goes to make the upward swing and for additional leverage he's going to use his wings to provide extra thrust upwards
|

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Nov 25, 2006 0:16:09 GMT -5
So now let's try to make that a full phrase: "Taklinn does...." Also, I mean using passives, getting your full DIO's prospective actions so I don't have to get it out of you, describing your solution to various problems that may come up (defensively designed moves)... Sorry, I'm just trying to raise the quality of the gaming here. A really good post should be a full paragraph.

yeah true DIO off Taklinn charges forward on wing holding his massive sword behind him with the blade pointing upwards his face almost rubberey as he dosent wast energy with his facial expression while in combat when he reaches his opponent he brings the blade in a circular motion so as to catch his foe from below with the intention of launching it into the air the yang's shadow of the blade following closely behind.....
oog: better?

OOG: No DIO for now? No problem. What I recommend, especially as DIOs grow, is to create an automated formation set, where you assign them pre-selected attacks and manuevers (probably 3 per so you can account for extra actions) or automatic functions (i.e. healing, damage dealing, etc. in which case they function a lot like assistant units for a hero in Warcraft). And yes, that's a lot better, try to have that and indeed higher qualities of post in the future . Taklinn's circular upward swing arcs upwards, encountering one major problem: The creature of earth and mud is doubly difficult to damage with blade weapons, since it is both flexible and intangible due to the water and has a high threshold due to the stone. The water keeps the various parts together, tendrils of the liquid pulling the creature back together. In response, it issues a simply massive swarm of mud with an uneven consistency at Taklinn. [OOG: Str 27, Dam 33, MT 297]. Taklinn can barely respond. (http://www.enworld.org/enpublishing/clip1.jpg) has what you're fighting).

hmm lets see perhaps thinking back to Poke'mon weakenesses, earth and water, shit creature of stone vs. creature of mud, how to do this....DUH i need fire to dry it out and try to turn it to a sort of earthenware creature, then i can break it

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Dec 5, 2006 23:37:51 GMT -5
It's not really a creature of mud. It is stone mixed with water unevenly.

Post by Vincent Hack on Dec 8, 2006 19:04:31 GMT -5
true, but there are watery parts and that's what i want to dry out think of it this way, were i to cripple a part of you but not your entire body would your fighting be hampered or no

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Dec 8, 2006 20:11:13 GMT -5
Might be possible. Or the creature might be able to withdraw the water and shield itself behind the stone. But even when it's dried out, all it loses is mobility and some of its physical immunity, not its stone hardness.

Taklinn got any good fire powers aside from the 10 communals?

un fortunately no, i doubt the communals are strong enough are they

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Jan 4, 2007 20:47:27 GMT -5
They can be if you choose Meganuke or other high tier Forbidden flame attacks (which you can also pump up with some amount of raw energy, not that Taklinn's the best at that), but now that I look at the post again I was actually waiting for Taklinn's DODGE of a big mud assault.
