Lucidstuck II

Guise, come on, there's an easier skill we've seen Lucia pull off even without Ira's help.

>Lucia: Silently call forth and conjure Iris.

Lucia: Silently call forth and conjure Iris.



You decide to stick with what you know and bring forth Iris to show your conjuring skills.

Lucia: Tada!
PBS: ....Heh.
PBS: Hehehehe... Hehehe...
Lucia: .... Uhm...

PBS: HAHAHAHA!!!
PBS: SURELY THIS SHADE-LING ISN'T THE EXTENT OF THE GREAT MAID OF DUSK!
Lucia: .... Of course not...
PBS: NO MORE JOKES.
PBS: If you really are the Maid of Dusk...?

You don't do well under pressure, this intense expectation has you sweating...

>Lucia: This guy did not just diss Iris in front of you. Just like you, though she may be little, she is fierce! Assert yourself! You made everything in here, including this guy!

>Lucia: Summon your velvet throne and lounge around on it. You don’t need this guy to approve of you. Pet iris on your lap like a movie villain for extra intimidation points. Act as if you don’t even care about what this guy thinks. He needs to follow you, or else he’s worthless.

>Lucia: Before you do anything else, get Iris to drag him to the ground. This guy should not be laughing at you.

Seconding this to the Nth degree (where N = Infinity)
We did what he asked, now he dares laugh back?!
Teach them a lesson, to never mess with your person.

>Lucia: show him what iris can do, have her restrain him

>Lucia: Summon Vorrus

Lucia: show him what iris can do, have her restrain him



You use Shadow Snare on the rogue servant, Iris flies up and clings to it vigorously!

PBS: HAHAHA!! Well!
PBS: The shade-ling was more than meets the eye, I will admit I am a little impressed!
PBS: If that is the extent of it though, you will be tested in only one way. Are you able to withstand an attack from a loyal servant?
Lucia: Loyal? Your loyalty doesn't mean shit.
Lucia: You'll be hella embarrassed for your defiance.
PBS: Come! What else does the "Maid of dusk" have to offer??

Your shadow snare raised the defiance meter a little. Iris can hold the servant for 3 turns.

>Lucia: back when ira was with you, she was teaching you to use your powers, by blindfolding you, she was teaching you to use night sight by closing your eyes, by covering you in shadow with her hoodie, she was teaching you to use shadow veil, shroud yourself with shadows to use that skill, manipulating shadows should come naturally to you

retrying this command because it makes so much sense

>Sit on your velvet throne and try to conjure some spears out of the ground, pointing at the servant. Show him the ease with which you can manipulate your realm.

>Lucia: summon some tentacles and beat the POS to within an inch of his existence

>Lucia: Conjure a gun out of shadow so you can use a magic bullet.

Lucia: summon some tentacles and beat the POS to within an inch of his existence



You use the gift "tendrils" against the shadow servant. It hits twice!

PBS: WAHAHAHA!! Using a servants gift as your own?? That is very interesting!
Lucia: (How did I...?)
PBS: It's as I said before Madam, as your loyal servants you have access to our abilities.
PBS: Instead of us using our gifts, you can bring about the same outcome by willing it.
Lucia: Okok, start talking, what gifts do you guys have??
PBS: I am the serradded gift, conjuring shadow blades with teeth, increasing flinching chance.
PBS: I am the pulverizer gift, conjuring blunt objects with teeth and increased force, tripling damage.
PBS: I am the tendrils gift, a shadow tail split into 6 increasing mobility and adding mid range attacks.
PBS: That one you have just used. You can combine up to three gifts at once!
Lucia: W-whoa... You guys have been holding out on me!
PBS: Actually it was I who suppressed the information Ms. Lucia ouo
PBS: In doing so, you were able to experience what conjuring feels like. I hope that feeling makes things a little easier.
Lucia: Ahh, so that's it huh?
PBS: ..... Can your shade-ling keep this up?
Lucia: Quiet, you.

Iris can hold on for two more turns. You've learned "Pitch Black Gifts" These gifts are conjuring techniques unlocked from your Asylum, collecting all 7 allow you to use them outside of the Asylum.

>Lucia: combine all three gifts, show him your might

Seconding

Wait, maybe we shouldn't kill them if we want Lucia to be able to use their powers when this is over...

That isn't his health bar, it's his defiance meter. We beat the shit out of him, he stops defying us because only the Maid could be this strong.

The point is we don't know his health bar. If he's at 2/3rds HP from that or even some amount more, combining all three attacks is probably going to completely one-shot him, thus destroying Lucia's ability to use this out in the rest of the dream.

I don't think there are health bars for characters who aren't luca, no damage has been recorded, this is literally a battle of wills. lets cream this guy.

you know what, how about we ask them to make sure

>Lucia: Ask them if they can actually withstand all the punishment you can conjure up. All your abilities seem to be damage-related, but if they think there's another way they should tell you before it's too late.

The way it works, as far as i understand is that defiance battles don't use hit points, but defiance instead, getting hit decreases defiance instead of hp, the same should go for the servants, so hitting them doesn't actually harm them, and nobody's at risk of dying, except lucia if we lose

with this in mind, i wouldn't suggest doing this command, we'd be essentially wasting a turn and we have very few of those to go around, we need to show him how strong lucia is

>Lucia: combine all three gifts, show him your might



You use the tendrils gift along with the serradded and pulverizer gift and it packs quite a punch! 

Show ChatlogShow

PBS: Ow!!
Lucia: ... Well then? How did you like that one??
PBS: Hmph!

Show ChatlogShow

PBS: Is that truly the best of the Maid of Dusk??
PBS: You are not fooling anyone with these performances...!!
Lucia:..... (Not sure what else I can do you guys.)
PBS: As it stands now, you are merely buying time before I am released...
PBS: Prepare yourself for when that time comes!

Iris can barely hold on now!

>Lucia: Combine the pulverizer gift with itself thrice and smash the servant with the biggest hammer you can conjure.

>Lucia: right now iris is about to go poof, the big attack is coming and you're gonna need to dodge, use shadow veil to become invisible and intangible, remember how you used the skill by pulling up ira's hood? just shroud yourself in shadow, controlling shadows should come naturally to you.
