>Odie howls from behind you stoking the fires within you and your men, even fortifying little Ein allowing him to stand square and resolute on his stubby little legs.
>In fact Ein doesn’t move from his position at all, soundly confident in his commander’s next move
>Ein’s faith in you is not misplaced, as you stride over him and get directly up in the timberwolf’s grill and poke it in the face with your keytar
“Big man huh? picking on mares and puppies.”
>You sneer derisively as you continue to poke the beast with your big hunk of plastic and magic crystals.
“You ain’t so tough, look at you. You’re getting your wicker man ass handed to you by a fistful of puppies and an autistic spaceman senpai”
>You give the beast one final love tap upside the head before drawing your keytar across your body in a defensive position.
>The beast is dumbfounded.
>It may be far too dumb to actually comprehend the full scope of your jab, but it knows full well when something is practically spitting in its face and challenging its dominance.
>A low rumbling snarl emanates from the back of the wolf’s throat as it makes up its mind to rip out yours.
>As all this is going on Oscar makes his way behind the wolf and digs his way down into the thick grass surrounding Fluttershy’s cottage.
>He may not be fully buried but you would have to be really looking to find the little chocolate pooch.
>As you and the wolf size each other up, Iggy and Scoob take up a defensive parimiter between you and Ein.
>You had yet to actually order them there, so either Ein anticipated the command you were going to give or the little corgi isn’t feeling quite as brave as his front would suggest.

>As the wolf is busy staring daggers at you Doby moves like a ghost and slips around the back of the beast completely undetected and takes up a hiding spot behind a shrub ready to spring at the crumbling wolf.
>After the past few seconds of mean mugging the wolf from behind your keytar the beast snaps and lunges for your face.
>You bring up your keytar to block, and you manage to wedge the weapon between the beast’s jaws and send it flying back, but not before its splintery charcoal fangs scrape your face, tearing a hole in your mask and leaving a small cut above your eyebrow.
>Fortunately for you your mask keeps the blood out of your eyes as Odie rallies your troop once more
>You wipe your forehead as you call back to Ein
“Get ready, we’re finishing this now!”
>You plant your feet in a batters position and wind up for the swing before planting your keytar square in the wolf’s crunchy wooden sternum sending it sailing over Oscar’s hiding spot
“Looks like its going clear out of the park! Finish it Oscar!”
>You shout as Oscar leaps from cover latching onto the spine of the airborne beast.
“This is the end! Everyone, Dog pile on that splintery punk!”
>The order is scarcely out of your mouth before Doby shoots from his hiding place and blitzes the beast with an aerial tackle spinning both the wolf and Oscar upright.
“It’s not over yet!”
>You bark as you press the momentum and bring your weapon crashing into the wolf’s spine, snapping branches and spiking the charred beast into the ground.
>Iggy, Scooby, and Odie rush in as soon as the beast is on the ground.
>Iggy slams into the beast with a full speed shoulder check while Scoob just sends his massive bulk crashing into the monster’s frame.

>Odie meanwhile latches onto a branch in one of the wolf’s legs and begins jerking his head side to side trying to tug it loose.
>Even Ein and Leroy charge in from the rear to get a piece of the beast.
>Leroy scrabbles at the beast as Ein bounces off its charcoal hide like a little furry missile.
>The beast buckles under the pressure of your combined assault and the glowing ember of light in its eyes goes out as whatever force giving its body cohesion dissipates and it collapses into a wolf shaped pile of burn twigs and branches.
“Great job guys we did-!”
>You shout as all the puppies bounce over to you and start hopping excitedly around your feet.
>Unfortunately your celebration is cut off mid-sentence as the wolf’s body erupts into a furiously smoking pillar of shadow that writhes and churns for a few moments before dissipating leaving nothing but a heap of ashes in its wake.
>Or at least so it appears at first glance, upon closer inspection something glinting in the heap of ashes catches your eye.
>You reach down and pull the object free of the ashes and discover a rather sizable translucent green gemstone.
>You pocket the gem for now and turn back to your adorably brave squad.
“As I was saying, You did it! Who’s a bunch of good boys? You Are!”
>You say as you crouch down and get knocked into the grass by a furry slobbery wave of seven puppies all trying to lick you at once.

We now return to the intended content.

Updated Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/QLAqK2kT

Although we want to go investigate the disturbance in the forest we should at least finish up fluttershy's adoption shindig at least.

>>29320608
So I guess the question now is, do we investigate the wolf, or say "fuck it monster protection is what I pay taxes for in the first place, I'm not doing more of their job for them"?

>>29320658
Personally I want to investigate that shit. I got the feeling there's a clue in them there woods.

>>29320623
I would rather go and warn everypony about "infected" wolfies. If one came out of woods, who knows how many will follow it, infected and agressive or not-infected and panicked, fleeing from something that causing it. But of course first priority - Shy and puppies safeness

>>29320658
>>29320668
Maybe take some wood leftovers from wolf and show it to Twi and(or) Shy? They know more about everfree creatures than we for sure, and we are in a bad state after fighting one of these things, that was literally dying from darkness, on our territory, with 8:1 advantage on our side mind you

>tfw maybe a photon bomb could have saved Tim the timberwolf from DARKNESS if we had our weapon already

New game+ when

>>29320699
Bringing back a sample might be a bit difficult since its a literal pile of ash right now. Maybe fluttershy has a mason jar we can borrow though.

I definitely approve of sample collecting in general though. Jives well with our Anon being a smart cookie

>>29320729
We could totaly recruit a different set of puppies that round too. I kind of want to see what Mr. Peanutbutter can do in a fight when he isn't busy being protected by Shy.

>>29320747

Speaking of which, I think we should adopt one of the puppies that helped us in this fight. I don't care what dog anon had before, we are comrades now.

I want Scoob. Big doggos are best doggos.

As curious as I am about what might be left in the woods.
I think checking on MellowYellow, giving her the low-down (and making sure she didn't die of heart palpitations), getting the puppers situated, and then maybe excusing ourselves from the adoption and speaking to Twiggles would probably be smart.
Collect a sample if possible, though the gem might serve as just that.

Ein best doggo. Give that little pupper-master some pets

>>29320759
I personaly would like to vote Doby even though he has the laziest name. Dobermans are slick as hell. I've seen my sisters go full home defense mode once when I brought a friend by the dog wasn't familair with. No barking or anything like that. She just glided around the corner completely silent ears pinned back ready to fucking murder that smell she was unfamiliar with. As soon as she saw me she was totaly cool and flipped back over to oh a new friend I'm a happy dog mode, but fuck was that intimidating.

>>29320759
As much as I want to say yes, that's only gonna end in tears, man.

Fuck, now everyone will know my terrible secret.

>>29320759
What about General Oscar? A hard won buddy is a best buddy.

>>29320515
Hey, Yen, could you post the most updated Character Sheet? It would help with potion calculations and skills.

>>29321907
I'll post it as soon as I get back to the room.

Bumping with another KH question. So I've not played anything past the first two KH games on PS2, but have seen gameplay of the others. From what it looks like, 3D, BBS, and CoM don't work like them at all, so how exactly does combat work?

>>29322919 For chain of memories it was built around cards, you attacked using cards with a certain value on them ranging from 0-9. Breaking cards is, in detail, you and your opponent both have cards at your disposal to be used during combat, "breaking" a card is when your opponent is attacking with a card but during the attack you can deal a card with equal or higher value to nullify the attack completely, lower value cards do nothing and will simply bounce off, so when an opponent uses a 5 card you cannot beat them with a card with value of 4, only a card with equal or higher value can "break" the opponents card.
All actions besides movement are based on cards, if you want to swing your weapon an attack card has to be used if you want magic then a magic card has to be used. Like a regular deck of cards you can build your own based on the cards you collect through your journey but there is a limit, namely the deck cost which dictates the quality of deck you can currently use. Each card has a cost if you want to use it in battle the cost is determined by
1.the type of card (Basic attack cards are your staple and more often cheapest option while magic and summons are more expensive, unique cards depicting enemies and bosses are the most expensive but provide unique perks and abilities).
2.the value of that card (0-9 with 1 being the cheapest but are more likely to "break" when facing dangerous enemies and 9 and 0 being the most expensive)
3. The uniqueness of that card (as you progress you will aquire better cards but the cost will increase with the quality)
Throughout the game the quality of your deck will naturally increase so the deck limit will begin to cramp up with the amount of new cards you be finding.
This is helped by the leveling system in which your given a choice reward :Health (max health increase), Deck cost (the card cost limit is increased, allowing more customization), and Technique card combos like strike raid, zanketzuken, and sliding dash.

Also excuse me i wrote far too much about the combat system than I should have, I'm just trying to be helpful.
Again sorry for the massive dump

BBS was based around a Technique system, where in the beginning basic spells and attacks are all you have. Much of the combat is locked behind a fusion system in which combining two techniques can produce a more powerful version of those two or in some cases an entirely unique attack. (End game you'll be shooting black holes, and meteors on the field) though this was balanced by the heavy cooldown times between each use, though this part could be circumvented by the aquisition of abilities which could reduce the cool down of attacks and magic, reduce damage from certain elements, increase you air and ground combos, and even important techniques like Once More and Second Chance. The only issue was you didn't gain abilities through leveling or story progression, no you got them through the fusion system. Certain rare materials dropped from enemies can be used in the fusion process to gain abilities like the ones mentioned above, only you weren't garunteed a skill when fusing because it's all chance if you'll get the technique you actually want! Also those abilities aren't yours, no not yet at least, because each technique requires you to level up that technique based on the amount of experience you get from killing enemies, just like your own levels! So don't hold onto those techniques too much because before long you'll be mixing and fusing dozens of techniques, looking for new abilities and techniques that you haven't found yet!

>>29322919
That's an easy one. Main difference is that special attack abilities like Strike Raid or Ars Arcanum, all magic and all items (in other words everything that you had to use via looking into submenu's or shortcuts) is now a "Commands" that can be used any time in battles, as many times as you want, just wait for them ssome time to reload (so yeah, no mp for magic or too much waiting for attack abilities (or triangle) to trigger, spam the hell out of them), compiled in one single easy to access "commands" menu and you can rearrange and change them as much as you want between fights, adjusting to situations, bosses or your playstyle.

No, there are limits of how much "Commands" you can "wear" at a time, so it's all about collecting more commands and planning if you need more magic, attacks, or items next. No, there's still regular actions like attack, block, dash\roll, passive abilities and leveling up aside from that. Yes, all three game have big differences:
BBS is like all above plus some mechanics like Command Styles (changes your normal attacks if you use particular commands only), Link (changes all your commands entirely acording to friendly NPC you linked to, helps to get access to stuff you don't have or never get for your char) and some more. Oh, and separate "commands" can be leveled up and merged together to create new ones;
DDD in term of fight adding Flowmotion (interact with environment, slide on rails, move fast, spin enemies, throw them, do chaos and etc) and some "commands" linked to the new pokemo... I mean dream eaters, which you must level to get access to new commands and abilities;
and CoM being "pre-BBS" with cards that are ALL your attacks, magic, summons and items, while abilities linked to named cards, like "stock three Fire cards in a fight at the same time to do Firaga" (not going to talk about cards, >>29323260 already did it and better)

Also, maybe we should heal at Fluttershy's house, guys? We have less than a half of HP

>>29321907
Here's your latest character sheet. let me know if I've forgotten anything

>>29323340
Speaking of healing out of combat, I should tell you how that works. you have long and short rests that can happen between combat. during a long rest you automatically regain all of your hp. during a short rest you can spend hit dice to regain hp. You have a pool of hit dice equal to your level and the pool resets every long rest. Your hit dice are d10s and you gain your roll plus your constitution modifier each time you use them to heal. so one die in your case can net you as much as 12 hp.

I should also point out that leveling here will work slightly differently than 5th ed D&D that this is based on. Your level cap is significantly higher than 20 so you'll be leveling much more often than in D&D. As a result you won't be getting things like HP every level, but your hit die pool will still go up.

I'd love to finish up Fluttershy's cottage tonight but I'm exhausted. Give me a final consensus on if you cats want to adopt one of your stalwart pupper companions, along with what you want to do after checking on flutters and finishing cleaning the pups, and I'll move the plot forward after I wake up.

Bump for the bump throne.

>>29323463
So I'm assuming that th mask and Wolf's Tear don't count as equipment right now, if you haven't forgotten to put them on their.

>>29323508
It looks like everyone else wants to adopt a puppy, so I'll vote for Scooby as well.

As for the plan of attack afterwards? Get a sample of the ashes, then look for the trail the Cinder Wolf took to get here. If we can find one, then we should follow it until it becomes unsafe for us to do.

Namine was quite busy with exams, so I was in charge of lining and colouring. It was fun. Now, I guess, it's obvious from the sig who we really are. <~<

I personally want Ein, corgis are irresponsibly cute, but then it looks like we'd just have a 4-way division rather than 3; in the interest of us not flying TWALIGHT SPARKLE'S BALLOON with an entire kennel's worth of puppies, I'll put my vote behind Scoob as well.

>Fluttershy says, concern in her voice a the prospect of an injured animal.
“Well that’s the thing, after we knocked it out it kinda…. How do I put this?”

That's all I got for the time being, Next up is still time turner's correct? if so come up with some things you'd like to ask him about. I'll be back in a while. Gotta get back to the vacation for now.

>>29328642
The first thing I'd like to do is pry at Time Turner about the pattern on the watch. Maybe try and find out more about it.

Otherwise, look at his merchandise for sale, just in case there's something else we could use.

>>29328658
Pretty much this. Hopefully it won't eat up too much time so we can investigate what's going on with the random Cinder Wolfs.

>>29329143
Do we want to pop in davenports or dapper dan's of we have the time?

>davenport
We still lacking 465 bits to get the ultimate item and save him from darkness and unfair destiny. Maybe sunglasses worth it, for a future, when we'll find enemies that can blind
>dapper dan
Only if for sake of getting "thing that will make unfamiliar pons less scared of us" for 6 bits, that will be REALLY useful a the Gala and Canterlot if we want to make new friends and explore there without silly scared noble ponies... I vote for buying it if we will not find anything good at Turner's corner for us or our friendly mares

Also, our artists uploaded some pics on derpi. >>29324440 that one without parasprites in corner:

I'll be heading back to the airport shortly. I might be able to prepare a small update in the terminal but I think I probably won't be able to get one out today.

>>29331730

Welp, time to post KH videos.

>>29331774
Gosh, I heard things about him, but that... it's hard to watch, no jokes

>>29331730
So, final shopping trip before plot progress?

>>29332216
Yeah if I get anything up today it'll most likely be a shopping trip.

Begone, page 9

>>29332539
Unfortunately the trip to the airport has been significantly tighter than expected. I've only got about 15 minutes here before we board the plane. So, regrettably, the lull in activity continues.

>>29331774
So what's the deal with this guy? Is this a gag or is he just really that awful?

>>29333677
I've seen a number of videos compiled about him. He really seems to be a retarded manchild.

>>29333808
That's a bit depressing.

On a brighter note anyone crack open 2.8 yet? As I am trapped in airport hell I have not yet had the opportunity.

Taking off shortly, catch you cats when I land.

to be quite honest familam with 2.8 dropping, today would have still been on the slow side even if I hadn't been flying

>>29333870
I'm actually going out soon to pick up my copy, so I'll be back in a few hours to talk about it

>>29333870

reporting back after seeing the KH Back Cover: Chi movie.
I won't go into spoilers but what a fucking waste of time and effort it was, it does nothing but raise even more questions and just when you think the 3rd act is about to start the credits role so it doesn't even resole it's own storyline

>>29336236
>does nothing but raise even more questions
Really? I thought that only question left is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnKOCQpd1WE and right in the last 5 minutes, just to tease people

>>29336236
Can you answer my questions with a yes or no? I watched the YouTube KHUx chi back cover film but I'm guessing that wasn't nearly everything.
Is the black boxs purpose revealed?
Is the traitor ever revealed?
Do we see who's under the apprentices black hood?
Do the leaders of the 5 sects ever reveal their faces?
I'm guessing the events after the keyblade war are left ambiguous at best right?

>>29336371

>>29336289
Who is the traitor?
Was there even a traitor?
Was it all just an elaborate plot by the master of masters?
If so, what were his intentions?
Was it just to start the keyblade war or is there something bigger?
Why does the Master of Masters speak and act a lot like Braig/Xigbar?
Is there a connection between the Master of Masters and Braig/Xigbar or is it just a coincidence
Why was the Master of Masters and Luxu wearing Organisation coats?
Is there a connection with the Organisation?

>>29336588
and most importantly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cmqwbZa6_w

>>29336588
First five are old questions since KHChi and Unchained. I don't think they'll answer them until they end Unchained plot.
Um, "Mom" and Xigbar have different voice actors in both jap and eng versions, why everyone compare them?
Black coats not related to organization only. People wear them for the same reason everyone in BBS wear armor: to travel safely between worlds and in these dark swirly portals with "darkness" inside. People in Chi aware of these portals and use them, even gave us a missions to go through them once
So yeah, only new one is >>29336608 which felt like a dick move to just tease with it in last moments

>>29336668
Well I just cleared 0.2. Gotta say it's slick as hell. And it's just the tiniest sample of kh3s systems. Can't wait to see 3 fleshed out if the foundation is this solid.

So, we had a nearly heartless wolf. Or rather just tainted poor creature. Let's guess how many more "exclusive for Equestria" enemies we will get?

Inb4 parasprites that we catapulted into Everfree forest will come back for revenge, black and angry

>>29336822
Would you recommend it for its price I've all ready played DDD and back cover I'm all caught up on

>>29336907
>spoiler

Only now am I realizing the inherent flaw of our parasprite removal. We just shot those critters into the place that fucked up that wolf.

>>29336936
Maybe if we're lucky they wont come back

>>29336960
>lucky
>in cyoa
Pray to dicemaid for our safety

>>29336919
Yeah I'd still recomend it for the price. It's a bit short only about 8 hours including 100% on new game plus, but it's a lot of fun and the hd version of DDD supplements the short play time. That said 0.2 is worth it on its own if you're a fan of the series and/or a Aqua fan inparticular. Plus the handful of scenes that lead into KH3 are a ton of fun.

>>29336588
the opening lines of back cover are important. The master of master asks luxu if he doesn't count. This is intentional. You are conditioned to think that the trator lies among the 5 but the truth is that it could be either the master of masters or Luxu. The lost page refers to the traitor bearing the sigil. Luxu is the only apprentice with an X in his name. Which as we all know is the recuscants sigil. Combined with the fact that his name was given to him by the MoM makes him quite suspicious. The other possibility is MoM. Note that the cloaks of MoM and Luxu bear an unusual feature from the usual organization cloaks. Their zipper pulls both bear the mark of the unversed. Smart money is on either of them, though personaly I think MoM is the trator. he is after all the man with the plan who set all this in motion. And the ultimate betrayal is to gain the trust and loyalty of his students only to set them up as pawns in his scheme.

inb4 Davenport is actually a keyblade master, and gets lost in the realm of darkness as a result of saving everyone.

>>29337558
Is Davenport /ourguy/?

>>29337558
What do you guys think his main keychain looks like: a sofa, or a quill?

>>29337907
Both obviously

>>29337907
What if he uses two keyblades? One of a sofa and another of a quill, that he can merge or separate whenever he wants.

>>29337996
Fast and light as a feather in one hand but heavy and destructive in the other?
Reminds me of this guy

All these posts about Davenport is making me hyped about something that'll probably never happen.
Davenport as permanent party member when?

>>29338575
Get sofa for 500 bits

Say, if Davenport's a keyblade wielder/master, what sort of spells would he be proficient in? What passive abilities would his main keyblades give?

>>29338700
Well, the quills offer +1 to spellcrafting, so I'd think it'd be more magic-oriented. I haven't played KH in a while, so I'm not familiar with all the spells and passives there are now.

>>29339354
It's been the same formula for a while now with the three stages of magic (fire, fira, firaga) the only real difference was when BBS came out when it started to play with different ideas

>>29339504
Gravity, then, because sofas are heavy and shit.

So we're doing Drives and Limits, right? Or is that for the sequel?

>>29340167
Drive's yes, limits maybe. things like keyblade transformation are probably going to be beyond your grasp for this adventure.

>>29340191
That's kinda obvious. No one teached us that for years in "school"... oh, and Drives and stuff we probably must learn or get from someone or somepony too first. This is going to be fun

Updates btw?

>>29340257
there will most certainly be updates tonight, working on them now as it happens.

>>29337038
Watching Back Cover, it makes too much sense. You've got five apprentices that rely on the Book of Prophecies when something not in it happens. The Chirithy are made by the Master himself, and he mentions that a Nightmare version of this thing means a traitor 100% of the time. The phrase "May your heart be your guiding key" is so vague and ambiguous that it encourages rash behaviour that causes the Keyblade War. And the Master himself sows the seeds of distrust with the separate talk-to-talks with each apprentice. Everything is set in a way that makes the five apprentices suspicious of each other and ensures the war.

>>29340515
So the. The purpose of the keyblade was to make the factions fight each other in a bid to make them grow from the conflict between them?
I recently played KH chi on mobile and a recent event showed the rankings of the factions based on the amount of lux acquired (go vulpes) and in the hour long movie on YouTube it's mentioned the traitor is present though unknown due to the presence of a corrupted Cherub, so with the mistrust born between everyone it created a distrust between the 5 factions (also in order to change factions you have to give up your group party or the people you personally aligned yourself with). Also every key blade weilder was given a bangle that automatically collected Lux (a tiny scrap of light dropped from enemies). In a battle for strength over the coming darkness each faction is gathering all the light for themselves rather than for the sake of everyone.
Kinda like Riku did In the first game where he constantly searched for more strength

>>29340600
A key point of clarification. the strength bangle does not collect light, it collects darkness allowing players to further strengthen their medals to obtain something called a guilt bonus. they removed the name and called it special attack bonus in english, but the guilt name is intentional and significant and really shouldn't have been removed. It is called this because in your quest for power you are utilizing the darkness. undermining the good you hope to achieve.

up ya go

sorry about the wait, I got halfway through a scene before deciding it just wasn't working. had to scrap it and start over. I don't think I'll be too much longer here.

Hey you never know.

>>29348176
it could happen, Time Turner could get possessed by DARKNESS.

>>29348946
It'd be a good way to shut him up, if Turner telling Anon the star story might trigger Anon's memories some more.

>>29348973
speaking of Anon's memories, where do you guys think he's from? I know its early yet but it's never too soon to start theorizing.

>>29348988
Earth.

I'm not joking, the last thread had us saying we were from it and stated a very specific fact that could only be true if we came from Earth.

Where isn't really a question worth solving now, but how he got here and why are.

What's our current inventory? I remember a few items from the dream sequence that we never touched.

>>29349023
Fuck dog I'm a straight up retard tonight. I totally forgot we rattled off that Apollo mission shit.

>>29349094
I think that we have our character sheet at the top of the thread but if i recall correctly, we have the potion and hi potion from our dive to the heart, plus a can of pomade and a wake up tonic from Dandy Dan's then a bow tie, sunglasses and ruby cufflinks from Davenport's

>>29349094
>>29349129
Not to mention the sunglasses, exfoliant and conditioner, keytar, and pocketwatch Ponks gave us.

>>29349152
And the quill set from davenport.

I was counting the pocket watch the exfoliant set and the wolf's tear as key items rather than consumables so i left them out of the active inventory I've been keeping. my bad.

What about the magnifying glass and the dictionary that came with the mask?

>>29349233
Those were items? I thought those particular things from the Dive to the Heart were representations of our skills.

The mask we have was from Rarara, iirc.

>>29349233
The magnifying glass, mask and history text book are metaphorical items that represent your investigation performance and history skills respectively.

The mask you got then isn't the same mask as the green one you use in Ponyville.

Also update soon just working on the end of it now. Sorry about the relative silence today, preparing for the next trip has taken more time than expected.

>>29349262
It's fine, we're having fun hyping over shit.

>>29349275
hmm actually update may be coming in the next couple minutes. I had planned to take this scene a little bit farther before I posted but thanks to a crit perception check on Anon's part you all have gained an extra point at which you can change the path of the story.

>how do you want to handle it

>>29349458
we were going to go directly on to twilight's experiment, but you all nailed your perception check. So now,you cats have a choice.

>>29349469
I'm beginning to realize perception is more potent than I had originally suspected if it's going to be able to open up new paths in the story.

Its fine for no but the more pressing issue that we skimmed over was the jewel, but maybe twilight isn't the right person. A certain fashionista who deals in precious jewels would probably tell us more and then some than any book on the subject.

>>29349441
>Spike's in the kitchen

You sly dog, Twiggles.

I want to ask about pushing off something like this to the Princess. Not to be confrontational, but Flutters almost got mauled by one of them this morning, and there might be more before the Princess can get back to us.

>>29349441
I see no reason to call Twilight out on passing this off to Celestia. Either she knows what it is, or she doesn't. And Twilight wouldn't bother Celestia with something she could handle herself.

Twilight would never do anything wrong.

>>29349505
in the interest of not stopping again in one post i'll tell you twilight's response.

She would reply by saying timberwolfs are pack animals and if any more were wounded and a danger like this first one she believes they wouldn't have separated. She believes this to be an isolated incident if a highly unusual one.

>>29349749
Hmm...

Can't really think of anything to say that wouldn't have us on the offensive against a friend who hasn't deserved it.

Still, might as well shout to Spike to save us some of whatever he's cooking. He might not be cooking, but he is in the kitchen.

>>29349772
What if he's cooking gems? Do we prove how gangster we are and eat it anyway?

>>29350156
Clearly. You don't ask your bro to cook something and not at least try it.

>>29350156
If the fragments are small enough I'm sure we can pass them. Also for the choice lets let Twilight's weirdness slide. We already did our civil duty by kicking ass.

Nah, let it slide. Twi-fi is our friend (for now) and just wants to have more time with us. And princesses might much know more about it than books of our nerd. Buuuut maybe learning what exactly she send to Sunbutt and what is that too important experiment of her beforehand could be for the best. Let's hope that Twi's future role and fate in game is not depending from our answer here

>>29350341
When you in control, there's tons of opportunities for fun and goofiness, just don't take it all way, way more (and less) serious than you should which true for MLP and KH in general too. I don't think that we'll treat even any future pon\non-pon villains seriously here

>>29350412
It would be nice if we could take things a little more seriously than SLaM did. Some joking around is fine but memes tend to get out of control.

Also I was so sure those were dicks in the thumbnail. Maybe I should get some sleep.

Oh, in that term yes, let's try and not take it way less serious when it comes to game than Yen expects us too. And try to not get "whopper meme" level incidents in later discussions.

But anon, ponies are cats, and you know how to draw cats, do you?

well boys I'm about to get on a plane to Huston. Then we have a 7 hour layover before Costa Rica so we'll be sure to get an update or two from the terminal.

>>29349772
I'm pretty willing to defer to Twiggles judgement.

>>29350608
Just arrived in Huston should be here about another 5 hours. I'm gonna see what I can get posted for you cats.

>>29349458
Let's press the manner. We got the path unlocked, let's do it.

>>29352568
Is there any good reason to, though? According to Twilight's hypothetical answer, there shouldn't be any more of those cinder wolves wandering around.

There doesn't feel like much reason to push, other than the meta reason that the option exists.

So... we are asking her about it, but leaving decision on her in the end, to not be a dick to friend that just wants some time with us? Or letting it all slide in hope that princesses help us before shit gets real in Everfree?

>>29352652
We might as well do the first option. We shouldn't be a dick, but not mentioning anything does seem like a waste of a path option.

>>29352614
If Anon can tell, he'll trust his gut. He calls everyone "senpai" as a manner of respect, and not being told the truth is disrespectful. I dunno you raise a good point, fuck how do we do this?

It's fiiiine. Twi knows what she's doing when it comes to this kind of stuff. We can ask, but let's not press her. Her experiment is probably important too.

Is there any discription for the potions and elixirs that you find and use throughout the KH series?

>>29355104
I'm sure there's a page on them in the wiki somewhere.

Well I just touched down in Costa Rica I have an update ready once I get settled in

>>29355104
At least from KH2, Potions healed for 40%, while Hi-Potions healed for 60% iirc.

According to the last thread, Yen's not really running this CYOA's potions like that, with Potions healing 1d8 + Int Modifier, and 2d8 + Int Modifier.

I was thinking more along the lines of what potions and ethers actually are, the potions only variation is there size and the ethers are like square cubes

>>29355244
inb4 we consistently roll 7-8 on Potions and 1-3 on Hi-Potions.

I didn't use mods either, but I think that was more because my child brain couldn't grasp the concept of building and modding gummis.

Use Full Swing/Home Run Derby, whatever the one that hits multiple foes is.
Synch Blade with the keytar, yes/no?

>>29356775
Full swing is the one that hits multiple foes, homerun derby moves enemies.

As for the spoiler, you can since the keytar is a light weapon but since you don't actually have synch blade yet you aren't going to get any strength bonus to your damage. The off hand attack is also going to burn your bonus action which means no investigation checks. There's one more key disadvantage to using the keytar in this fight but you guys are going to need to remember that one on your own.

>>29356775
I don't know that I want to risk getting hit by all three of these. This isn't the tutorial anymore. Maybe we should focus on the fire one before it burns the treebary down. I vote we jump off a table and smash the little fucker.

>>29356874
I say we try to hit the Fire Flood into the Blizzard Flood. Fire and Ice probably don't mix well together.

Also tell Twilight to go get behind some cover. We don't want her to get caught up in the fighting.

>>29355295
Oh, you meant their appearance? Potions were differently shaped and sized green bottles, and Yen went same way with their description in cyoa. Ethers were packed into cubes blue magic, the higher the bigger and less cube-like due to too much magic stuffed inside. And elixirs were yellow bottles with both, fancy and sphere-like

>>29356735
>>29356738
Uh-oh. I think we found (one of) main enemies for our game. So, if we perform regular full swing or home run derby, we can still investigate new enemies? Can't Twi help us and fight magic with magic or enemies fully blocks her?

On a side note, anything to draw for you all? Finally finished with exams, can try into sketches again (after finishing poor Cinderwolf of course)

Now might be a good time to do an Arcana analysis, see if we can figure out each one's weakness? I'm betting >>29356967 is right and we could use them against each other, but it's still worth it in case there's something we don't know.

Other than that, I'm down for >>29356967 with the detangler; if she can get her emotions under control, it might make these things easier to dispel.

>>29356738
Pre-battle investigation, please.

There might be things we aren't seeing.

>>29357224
Maybe the Wolf's Eye? Or what our weaponized Key-tar looks like?

can we we check the size and state of the room? Also if the door is closer to us

was the keytar made old of plastic and gems?

>>29358848
It's got a couple gem buttons and knobs And whatnot, but it's not like someone went and bedazzled a keytar. The gems are more functional than decorative.

>>29358840
For that I must ask Yen for basic stuff like color, size and their appearance. Yen?

If they're powered by mana and require a constant flow to remain, couldn't you just bop twilight's horn with the staff and destabilize the flow?

>>29359183
Might work, but I think we might end up hurting twilight with the backlash.

>>29359183
>>29359193
That's something an Arcana check might shed some light on.

>>29359210
So add the Arcana check with the pre-battle investigation?

>>29359399
Sounds like a plan to me, can we make the checks before combat starts or do we need to make a move too?

>>29359399
If it had to be only one, I'd elect for the Arcana check first. As magic enemies, it'll probably be at least as valuable as an environment check, maybe more.

>>29360971
Into Blizzard specifically. And hope we don't miss our target.

>>29361117
Yeah, I meant homerun blizzard one (that jumps at us) into fire one. Looks like the most logical action at the moment

I'm curious about that faraday cage thing. So what is an usual magical conductor we could use to cage the sprites?

>>29361183
I honestly don't think that's a good idea. Floods like Shadows, can hide into things and floor, escaping from cage to not break the connection is not a problem for them in theory

>>29361236

But if we got the cage to work their magic juice would be instantly cut off. No power source, no wall sliding. At the very least we might get Twilight unhooked.

That is assuming magic works even marginaly like electricity and there isn't a lingering connection anyway. I still want to know what sort of materials can act as magic conductors for the future, might come in handy.

I beat that electric wool thing was magic enough so we could do parasprite 2: electric boogawool if we'd taken that option

>>29361263
We wouldn't have had the suit in time anyhow, since Rarara's still working on it. Also, there doesn't seem to be a cage to speak of around here, so that idea should be put on the very back burner.

You think Spike would be able to help if we called for him? He is cooking, but this is a pretty serious situation right now.

>>29361163
Yeah, that works.

Ok in the meantime while Yen Sid is doing his thing, which enemy color designs did you like better, og BBS colors or final mix color?

>>29361755
I'm not familiar with the Unversed, but the pic Yen posted looks pretty cool.

>>29361755
Personally I much prefer the original color scheme on the unversed. I prefer the original colors on the heartless too but it's not nearly as wide a gap.

Good thing you all went with the home run and won initiative. Otherwise that Blizzard flood would have hit you cats for max damage and taken a good 7hp sized chunk out of your ass.

>tfw Anon doesn't know that Twilight's exacerbating the issue

We really need to get this shit under control. I say we go for the full swing and hit both of them.

Also, I want to roll perception and try to notice Twi's fueling the Unversed. If we can lessen the problem, we should.

>>29362990
I know we never actually made that investigation check but there's gotta be a fire extinguisher in this lab right? Maybe we can use it to ice one of these fools.

>>29363048
So if we notice twilights emotional state is throwing fuel on the fire what do we do next?

>>29363943
How bout a good ol battle cry to dispel the the negativity in the room, no doubt it's getting stuffy inside twilights head with all the guilt and fear muddling her thoughts.
Also it could pull the attention to us and only us, just we don't have to worry about putting twilight into any danger.
Does the emotion that the unversed depict or embody affect their tendencies towards battle? So if they angry faces they'd be rather aggressive and forceful and in this case since they're main emotion is fear they'd be rather meek and distant but unpredictable all the same.

>>29363005
So, going by the description, I feel like both of these enemies are melee fighters who happen to have elemental attacks, rather than true casters. Still, it might be to our benefit to try to keep one of them between us and the other , so that any projectiles or charges are harder for them to hit us with?

I'd figure we should try to focus down the Fire Striker first, since it already has some damage, then we could worry about the electric one. Any chance we could ask Twilight for the electric weakness, or do another Arcana check to remember it ourselves?

>>29364917
I doubt we'll get much out of twilight but I'm sure we could do an arcana check

>>29364917
I think the last Arcana check proved there wasn't any readily available electric weakness.

>>29365686
Maybe we can investigate for something to ground it out then.

>>29364917
So do we want to do a full swing or focus on the fire scrapper first?

>>29366537
I would go for fire one. There's still can be one more form for "only one enemy left", but until then we can finally find a way to use environment against them, or wait for Spike's help. And dealing with one at a time easier than attempt to weak both of them simultaneously. Besides, we must learn first how much damage we actually do to them with normal attacks to properly plan next actions

>>29366893
So you think the forms are decided by the amount of enemies?

Since Twiggles got the Fear in her, I assumed that anything that'd make her worry would also affect their forms.

>>29366962
Ditto, that's why I advocated for focusing down firefucker first: if they have a chance to mutate into something stronger each turn based on Twi-Fi's emotional state, the fewer enemies we have in the field the better.

Also why I suggested asking her about the lightning weakness: maybe getting her focused on dispensing knowledge would distract her from worrying about us.

>>29366962
I think it's a little of both myself. When unversed die the emotion they're made of returns to the original owner. So when we kill an unversed twilight's emotions spike strengthening the remaining mooks. She's caught in a feedback loop with this spell that won't stop till we break the circuit. By which I mean kill all these fucks.

>>29366893
The Detangler rolls on a d6 for its base damage. It has some other neat properties to it in the context of this fight but those you'll have to either discover on your own or wait for dev notes after this fight.

>>29367197
For sake of knowing, could Spike hear us if we called to him for help?

>>29367598
Maybe. You have been making quite a ruckus who's to say he hasn't already heard.

On one hand, having a friend to help would be nice.

But if Twilight's worries about us are making these things stronger, wouldn't her nearly-brother Spike getting targeted make it worse?

>>29367642
Then we totally should deal with fire one first and fast, before Spike tries to help. To not have fire vs fire

I actually made a perception check for you during the last scene. as it turns out you were too focused on the fight to notice twilight start to hyperventilate behind you as these things transformed.

>>29368802
We'll shit we can try after the battle is over, these unversed have overstayed their welcome already.

I'm glad you all didn't call spike on your own, he was scripted to jump in when you found yourselves in hot water.

And it doesn't get much hotter than an unversed getting in a crit that would have put you cats in negative hit points.

Oof, I'm guessing flanking gives advantage? Seems like there's been quite the string of crits, both in our favor and against us; dicemaid must be feeling bloodthirsty lately.

>>29369801
So, I'm honestly not sure whether dispelling the elemental magic on the Unversed contributes anything, given that Flameface there was still able to dunk on us after we snapped his blades? I'd figure if Spike can tank fire damage or negate it completely, we should switch focus and occupy the lightning one so it doesn't get on his case while he mauls his target. Let him know what our plan is and then Home Run that Thunder mofo to the other side of the room so it has to take longer to recover and attack, I suppose.

>>29370044
Don't put the cart in front of the horse here: we're just above half health, and apparently the crit Spike saved us from would've killed in the negatives.

If there's ever a time for a potion and evasive maneuvers, it's now.

Here you go. as a side note if you ever need to purchase armor for spike you'll need to know due to his size he can only equip light armor

>>29370044
Dispelling is probably least useful on the offensive magic since the unversed can cast as a bonus action at the start of their turn.

It's going to be more helpful if you can A parry an attack or B strike through a defensive spell.

the detangler is doing one more thing for you every time you attack that you haven't noticed yet.

>>29370119
Fair point, I actually forgot we got to keep our potions from the start of the game; I'd humbly like to rescind >>29370044 this suggestion in favor of not getting our dick kicked in.

>>29370191
Do we want to pop the regular potion or the hi-potion?

>>29370244
I say regular, so long as we don't take max damage hits too often and don't roll bare minimum heal when we use it, it should be plenty. Don't fuck us on this, Dicemaid...

>>29370244
I think the Potion should be enough. That, plus evasive maneuvers that keep those Unversed in our sight.

>>29370163
>the detangler is doing one more thing for you every time you attack that you haven't noticed yet.

You forget that we are idiots. Personally, I'm not able to see it.

>>29370119
>>29370489

what do you want spike to do while you're chugging a potion? take a full defensive action? Intercept any attacks coming at anon? go on the offensive?

>>29370960
If he can keep the Fire Scrapper busy and get a hit or two in, that would be good in my book.

>>29370972
consider it done familam

>>29370682
To be fair you'd really only notice it if you tried to use the keytar.

>>29370972
Concurred, 2v2 (once we get ourselves healed a bit) with someone who resists his enemy is going to make this much more doable.

>>29371060
My guess is that they have those cloaks Twi mentioned earlier, so if we were attacking with the keytar, we'd be either damaging our weapon or ourselves with backlash. Pinkie would be less than pleased if we returned her keytar with a bunch of scorch marks or the circuitry fried...

Ok the fire sprite can be dispatched by spike pretty easily, while a homerun hit to the electric sprite should give us some breathing room.
And if we still can afterwards study the enemy for any overlooked details

>>29371303
Perhaps this would be something we'd be more suited to if we hadn't rejected the Sword, but can we try a targeted attack on the Thunder Scrapper's legs? It seems to be pretty mobile, knocking it prone might help maybe.

If not, I agree with >>29371360, a good ol' fashioned Home Run to give us distance and (I'm guessing Spike is after us in turn order) Spike a chance to finish off the Fire one unimpeded.

>>29371421
You can always do a maneuver with Anon or even try and do some kind of team up Attack with spike. You tell me something you want to do I'll figure out a way to make it happen.

>>29371278
Oh. So we can use Twi's machines as "grounding rod" for electric sprite attacks. Good to know. Maybe we should homerun that little shit precisely into them while Spike finish off fire one?

>>29371166
I remember cheating to play through the entire game with that, fun times.

>>29371586
Assuming spike rolls a d6 on his punches he's going to need a four or better to finish the fire scrapper off. Can we think of some kind of special attack or maneuver to boost his damage?

Seems solid enough. All attempts to cripple the Electric Unversed would probably do better after the Fire one's down and we can double team them..

>>29371586
>>29371740
Why not just home run the Electric Scrapper into the Fire Scrapper? They're not each other's weaknesses, but it should stll do enough damage to finish the fire one off.

>>29372709
I was under the impression we were hitting the thunder scrapper with a home run to put some distance between us and it when it inevitably transforms.

The part we hit with the destabilizer was dispelled, I say we aim for the lightning one's head and hope it doesn't grow back.

>>29373091
It's not like we blew off the fire scrapper's arm when we hit it in the shoulder. I'm pretty sure we just dispel their buffs not the unversed themselves.

>>29372841
I'm on board with this plan, specifically with trying to knock it towards the thing that absorbed its bolt >>29371278 here, I have confidence in Spike to proper wreck the fire one, then we can focus on dispelling the Thunder one's buffs and the pair of us can pile on the damage. I'd like to go for a team-up attack on Thunder Scrapper next turn assuming the fire one dies, but it's pretty integral that we land first blow so Spike doesn't get electrocuted.
