Black Zenith [Adventure RPG / Chapter Four: Fires of Heaven]

Bohw grumbles and rises to her feet, chasing after the others and catching up to Thunderpaw, following his pace she leans forwards and tries to talk to him.

"Hey, Thunderpaw. Uh, this might not be the best time, but just as an idea from the leader, it might be a smart idea to split up the magic jewels and divide them between the party. That's just making yourself a unnecessarily big target, I think... and... you need to stop doing that..."

She squats down to his level and talks in a quieter tone, lest the others hear. "You might disagree with this, but I'd say give Aven'sara to Nos. He's proved reliable, if quirky... maybe she can give him a bit more stability, yeah?"

((Big Leader Note thing about item management that we all knew was coming)):

SpoilerTake this as you will, but I think our items have been very poorly distributed now that I have a look about it. Specifically Watson and Thunderpaw are being loot hogs, no offense guys. So you two, Masterblade and Ican'tgivecredit, please read this in full.

First off, let me start of with Watson. Do you mind if I meta-game a bit? Because let me tell you, I was in the last game and just based on previous experiences, the Book of Warding is going to give a special ability that will no doubt be based on Affinity. Because first things first: Watson is literally the worst person to make use of it, he should probably hand it off to Myra, Savannah or Nos. MAYBE, I AM NOT 100% SURE but am pretty damn confident.

I will buy it off you if I have too, because that is seriously a huge waste.

I would say something about the Verdant Fragment but... I think it's more fun if I don't. And I won't. Just keep it until we figure out what it does. Watson is serving as a pretty good Off-Tank.

(A side note, I thought about it and probably the regen armor would be better in Mayor's hands, he focuses on attacks that don't use a hit roll, like taunting and defending, taking blows for others ect, but that is totally your call. I might be willing to trade items for it though, I dunno.)

Also Masterblade, sorry but you can't go around snatching all the rare jewels, you should hand Aven'sara off to someone, (along side with the Ring that gives +4 in stats you don't use). I was originally going to say Myra benifits the most from Aven'sara, but thinking about it, Explosive + Hyper-Magical-Metabolism would lead to some interested spells being flung about, Nos will be able to buff himself with a buff that will turn him into a murderous fucking nightmare. It would be awesome. Also Madness Dance which gives big buffs. (He also only has 2 items, 1 of which is a bow, as apposed to your 10, not counting trash loot.)

Thinking about it though, the new Jewel sits nicely in your own hands. Nos and Myra are also a possibility, but Nos might be getting Aven'sara anyway and Myra has several item special abilities, while throwing a Fury Comet and Blade of Light every 6 turns is terrifying.

So yeah, that. Maybe give the Ring to Myra, actually, she uses both Affinity and Speed. It will also give 24 Affinity, that's +7 to magic rolls, which is almost as powerful as the roll bonus Hellbent gives. Plus if Watson gives her the book, which will most likely be affinity based, that's +7 to that, too.

You don't have to follow my advice here, but that's my thoughts into it all. Lets get some better synergy going, I think one of the reasons the last fight went bad is because of our disorganization of items.

Relatedly, I am giving my HP pot to Nos because he has stupidly low defense and I keep forgetting to use it. Not now, but soon of course, when the plot is appropriate.
