Not gonna lie, the formatting of that post gave me an immediate, knee-jerk reaction of "Oh god, what happened to him and his wife this time?" I'm very glad to see that's not the case, and can't wait to see what you did to the game. And I can't wait to empty quote you.

This is how it starts. "Killing the Heroes with our over-powered equipment and spells is so boring", you say. So you start carrying around two sets of gear; a weaker set for villager slaying and the like, and you keep your really good stuff in an extra dimensional space for when you decide "it's time to get serious". Next thing you know you're setting up your evil lair at the bottom of a multi-tiered fortress, its halls filled with appropriately leveled encounter groups so as to provide a challenge for invading Heroes, but not too much of a challenge, oh no, not too much, because occasionally you want to face a so-called "Worthy" adversary and get yourself a bit of a workout in the process. Of course, what you don't know is that the "Heroes" are using your seemingly limitless hordes to train themselves up to god-like levels of power and have probably found that loving MacGuffin that will shut-down all of your powers, which you though it was probably safe to stuff in a chest somewhere in your base, so by the time they decide to actually face you you're proper hosed. I can't believe how much more of this poo poo I've been seeing in recent years. Did you know that the Evil Overlord mortality rate has jumped from sitting in the low teens just a decade ago to over 63% today? I was shocked at how few of my peers were alive to attend my graduating classes Evil Medical School reunion this past may. It's a real problem, and we need to get the word out now or soon there will be none of us left.

 Of course, now I can't unsee the missed letter on thought (in the section about the MacGuffin), or that the word "it" probably shouldn't follow "thought" in the same sentence. Still, can't beleive it made it into the OP. Thanks.

Hi guys! Contrary to popular belief, neither I nor this thread are deceased. In fact, we should be seeing an update in a day or two. I've had to settle into a new job last week, plus I've taken the opportunity to finally get some writing finished on my ~novel~. No you can't read it, no one can, it'll never be accepted for publication and I'm going to have to learn to live with that.  But anyway! More LP nonsense coming soon, wherein we will answer a longstanding question about love and battlefields. The answer may very well shock you.

It makes those dudes much easier when you can deal with them one by one. You do not want to get into a damage race with enemies. Also did you go magic or physical for your Sorceror? 9 is a dry run for 10, so you need to be really on the ball with mob management.

Also did you go magic or physical for your Sorceror? Looks like the former on the question. I haven't actually started over yet, this is just looking at an old save from a year or 2 ago. Looks like my only paralyze was on a weapon. I think the main thing that pissed me off was that running slash users stopped being really obvious in advance and wiped me first turn of the first encounter of the zone. Probably just gonna start over because I have no loving clue what I was doing.

Nah you should be okay. Got an Abomination, Skeleton or Ghost? Replace Minotaur with one of those. Abom and Skele can tank and knockdown the guys. Ghost can use dirge to debuff and Hand of Frailty to make them weak against magic. His paralyze can also take a dude out of the fight (just don't attack said dude, I find that makes paralysis wear off faster). Nuke the debuff'd dude with sorcerer, wale on him with vampire, keep your guys alive with Cultist.

Canto V, Stanza 1: Love and Monsters Short one this time! When I started the LP, I decided to write updates by cell block. Unfortunately, this one is really short. Tons of personality, though. Also, I'm now officially flying blind, as this is the farthest I've made it in the game. That whooshing sound was all the hilarity on the forums rushing towards this thread, or perhaps just my water pipes bursting again. Let's do this thing! The update, I mean. Not the water pipes bursting.   Vlad. Bull. Ziggy. You're with me. Wow. You're not kidding around this time, are you? I want Ricerche to know I remember him. Do you understand me? I want you to get this gently caress where he breathes. I want you to find this nancy boy Ricerche. I want him dead! I want his family dead! We might as well head back. He's gonna be like this for a while. Hoo boy. Don't I know it.  Look alive, fucksticks! Evil's all up in this bitch!     Color me unimpressed. WHY IS ALWAYS ME, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYWe kick off Cell Block 5 with a fight against a high level warrior and an elf wizard. As you can see, the elf's spells hurt. Keep in mind armor blocks magic at a 50% rate. That is one big-rear end spell.  Her buddy will also back her up with some generic tank skills; otherwise, he's a bog standard high level fighter. That's pretty much as remarkable as these two get. We'll see a lot more elf wizards coming up, and they'll be priority targets. They can do a lot of damage in a big hurry. One's a headache, two or more can knock serious holes in our party. Fortunately, hornhead picked this team for a reason.  Saaaailors fighting in the dance hall, oh man, look at those cavemen go~  Well, poo poo.   ...I want his house burned to the ground! I wanna go there in the middle of the night, and I wanna piss on his ashes! That's why I like you, boss. Ya' got style.Elf wizards are about as fragile as you'd expect, so Team Physical Damage stomps her into paste in a hurry. We just have to deal with her backup after that.  You killed her! You monster! And I should give a poo poo... why, exactly? I'll avenge you, my fair comrade Bull, do me a favor and knock this moron on his rear end. You got it.  *flares fireball in hand* Party time.     Hahahahahahahaha Holy crap. I've never seen him this wound up before. Me either. It's kinda scary. For once.This fight was over in three rounds. It bears mentioning that Arcane Blast was the only damage we took. Bull knocked the fighter down in round two, and then we beat the poo poo out of him in round 3. On that note, knockdown is way more useful than I remember. It's probably because I hadn't taken Bull this far before, but it's also (very) possible I just assumed it was crap and never tried it. Status ailments are pretty incredible in this game. The way you can stick them on people consistently, you'd think this was SaGa. ... Wait, I didn't actually check before I started. It's not SaGa, right? ... Right? ... Anyway, we're getting to the point where we don't need Willow on hand 24/7—especially for randos like these two. As a result, we have a party slot free and can absolutely floor it as far as damage output goes. I know what I said about rocket tag, but because of drops and training, we have a massive head start on everyone. We might as well have fun with it while it lasts. Besides, everybody likes teeing off on heroes! They make the best GLAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH noises when they die.     Well, that was quick. Oh come the gently caress on! I was just getting warmed up! Hey, what's on the table over there?  Hmm. *scrape scrape* Who carved this sappy bullshit? ...quote:
...quote:
...beats me. C'mon, let's clear out the rest of this floor. I got a whole lot more murder left in me.  Although there's still room for some greed! I'm surprised you can fit it all in. I have a big heart. And a head to match! Har har.  Aliel's rampage continued, wreaking havoc over the countryside. The lack of communication infrastructure only aggravated the problems the populace had facing the sorceress' attack.   ...Aliel... Chief? Just thinking. Ooh, you can practically hear the wheels squeaking. ...got it all out of your system now? Hardly.   Most of the jewelry is so-so, but these are worth a pretty tidy sum. We also pick up a bunch of middling treasure drops and a couple of healing potions.  Sadly this one does not have a scroll in it. I checked.    Livin' quarters. I seriously doubt those clowns owned anything of value. I'm so lucky to have been stationed across the hall from someone as beautiful as you. Remember when we used to complain about having to guard this empty hallway.  I think it's lovely. You would.  This is probably the elf's room. Was. ...quote:

I told him it was just a temporary thing while we were both stationed here, but he's taking it way too seriously. Sometimes I'm tempted to join the monks upstairs. ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA Well. I suppose love can't bloom in a battlefield. Yeah.  YOU GUYS I CAN'T BREATHE HAHAHAHAHAHA We're going to have to carry him. Not it! Not i—aw, dammit!  SERIOUSLY THE rear end in a top hat WENT TO HIS GRAVE THINKING SHE LOVED HIM, THIS IS INCREDIBLE Think he'll ever snap out of it? Let him be, love. I'm sure it's how he always wanted to go.

Slot in ghost then and give everyone nasty rear end weaknesses and then go to town with Vampire and Sorceror. Which floor are you on in block 9? If you can get to floor 2, you can now open up all the floors of the Reaper's Catacombs. You can loot chests there for weapons to sell and complete the weapon spirit sidequest. Fair warning, enemies on the last floor in that place are rooooough. Like those guys are at least as tough as the Block 10 assholes.
