I'd say go for the Fox tail because the FOX flies LOW over the MANUFACTURING BELT at NIGHT. MOSTLY. But what do I know.

(I just re-read nonsequiter.txt and felt an urge to reference that) But anyway I think it may give us some decent dodge chance which will help if anyone gets too close.

We go for the fox tail.



Well, we're down to one human again.



That's some nice bonuses!



On to the fight!



They have a wardrobe. These guys can spawn out lesser minions.



Let's get on taking it down!



Down it goes.



The Discus ricochets.



Lark uses her magic as well.



Poison takes the Sommelier down.



More Morgathai come forward, Anmos takes a bit of damage.



They build up fast.



Yvilde does a through shot, but the Batchby blocks it.




Anmos and Ciara do their thing.



Rath brings his lightning.



Lark uses the plants on the Batchby.



Dragging it backwards an pinning it.



A Weldling appears.



Fist we need to take the Batchby down.



We mage the wildling to death.



Victory is ours once more.



Only now that I'm editing the pictures do I realise I just reduced Larks' spell damage for a sword she will never use.



At least the team are happy with themselves.



Lark also gets a magical ring.



The route north is across a major river.



So we build a bridge.



The world gets more dangerous. I spend some LP to block the Morgathai one however, and we still have 6 left.



We cross the river and scout the new land.



Finding more corruption. We of course move to clear it.



We find another shrine.



I like Ciara, she's the level headed one. Unfortunately she's in a relationship with Captain YOLO.



Further desecration is prevented by the coming of the enemy.



The party has seen much worse.



The battle starts with a Yvilde special.



We get forward and move on the two monsters outside the building.



They move to attack, Anmos leaps forwards and all but kills the seeker.



But then it attacks, paralysing him in a waking dream!



The monsters try and warn the others.



Ciara does not like this idea.



The others stack up on the door as the Seeker runs around screaming.



Rath dodges the dreamtrap.



And Ciara finishes the beast.



With Anmos still parallelized, the rest of the party move on to clearing the building.



Lark puts down some damage.



And Yvilde geeks the mage first.



Ciara continues to do good work.



Rath finishes the Thrusk.



We claim victory.



Lark levels and I of course upgrade the tail.



Ciara takes the belt, as we are seeing more magic and she has little warding.



We get right back to looting.



Look Ciara, we both know your never going to be able to stop this lot from doing something stupid.



An amazing choice, Frog or Ram – but the game won't let me save, so I have to ask myself, what would the thread do?



FROG!



Oh yeah. Here. We. Go!



The statue begins to jump. Which makes sense, it's a frog after all.



I literally double over laughing. Our luck with the transformations continues, and Birdfrog is born!



Yvilde accepts this with all the grace of a goofball. We may well now have to choose which transformation to progress at the end of the chapter – so let me know which one you would prefer!



Before I leave you for this update, we are now going to be seeing more seekers.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
When we got the fox tail we got to see what bonuses it gave Lark. Are we able to see the bonuses of having a frog head before deciding?

Now that I think about it, having the scorpion tail would have been a horrible idea, imagine having a poisonous barb only a few inches away from your head at all times. The skunk one would be even worse for people around you, imagine having to take a bath in bicarbonate of soda after every battle before anyone would want to get close to you. Also, the stats on the Fox tail is actually quite impressive, much better than I was expecting when I voted for it even.

You know you can have two whole sets of weapon/shield set up, and switching between the two is not even an action. So every mage should have a weapon and a magic weapon, every ranger and warrior should have both a melee and a range set-up

Yeah I mean the party has only lost one limb so far. In fact, I think the party may have more limbs than they started with.

This game’s a lot like XCOM: either you’re controlling the flow of battle and making it look easy, or you’re getting your rear end handed to you, with little in between. Grey Hunter’s playing well even through our votes, but it only looks easy.

Also, we’re on act 2 of a five-act campaign. Plenty of time for things to go awry :D

EDIT: Also, the world could use more frogs!

For whatever it's worth, I've seen a lot of people miss this, so you're not alone. But it makes the game much more playable, and you can experiment with your second load out and keep a safer primary.

Things like Dagger Warriors (arguably better than Rangers because Warriors have the leap ability to always get behind someone), Spear or Hammer rangers, and bow and/or martial weapon Mystics are all really, really good if you know what you're doing, but if you only think you have one weapon for everybody, you might never feel confident enough to try.

A witch gives Yvilde crow wings. This causes a group of crows to befriend her and give her a coin. Later, Lark uses this coin to buy a fox tail.
