Welcome to Gaia! ::

Warrior Rolls...

((ok wait why didn't the team attack work, every target was held off. It doesn't say in the team attack description that the attack has to do damage. All it says is that all targets need to be under attack. ))

If I may interject for a second, Kail is correct. To succesfully "hold off" an opponent, they must have an attack hit them, though it doesn't matter if the attack does damage or not. An effect such as pounce, that stops an attack from occuring in the first place however, eould stop the team up from happening. For referance, Look up "Plinking" in the frequently asked questions.



As for the bolded section you pointed out, As long as Luc has any attack score, he could in fact still damage someone with 0 defense and no combat dice.

That line is not in referance to the current enemy at all. Its just stating that you have to either have points in attack, or use your dice for attack to have the ability to attack at all. Characters with no attack or combat dice can't attack.

Then it goes on to say that if you attack, regardless if it does damage or not, they are considered held off.

The end point is Luc does have an attack stat, thus he gets an attack. The person he attacked is considered held off. Bottom line.

(Just to let you know, that is why Gerbo has a single point in attack for that very reason!)

I admit, I do tend to bow to superior logic; however right now I don't think your it. If you can have FARGORE overrule my post, I will happily support it. But as I understand the rules, this is the way it actually works. We will go ahead and Pause this battle until you clarify the actual intent of what constitutes an "Attack".

*As a personal note, my wife currently agrees with you... mrgreen *

Petra Heals Luc for 10 Points.

The Sorceror's begin their dark incantations preparing to bring Vincent down. Vincent leaps forward with uncanny quickness, stunning Sorceror 2, interrupting the Spell. Sorceror 3 completes his incantation, blasting Vincent for 10 points.

The Warriors implacably advance, their new targets firmly set. Warrior 1 attacks Lucifer, striking for 4 points, then follows with a Smash for 5 more points. Warrior 2 advances on Luc, death in his eyes. Striking hard, he hits Luc powering through his defenses for 3 points. He finishes with a Smash for 5 more Special damage.

Luc attempts to Attack, relying on his Attack Stat alone. Although no damage results, he does manage to hold off Warrior 2, paving the way for the Team Attack. And as a result of his true focus, his powered up defense easily reduces the incoming damage.

Lucifer Team Attacks Sorceror 2 biting fiercely for 17 points. He is struck hard by the fierce Bandit Warrior 1, but stubbornly refuses to go down, while it's master is still in danger.

Petra attempts to stun Sorceror 2 but fails. She then Team attacks Sorceror 3, dealing 9 point of damage. She also quickly heals Luc, before he takes damage for the round. Her Regeneration continues to heal her wounds, for 5 more points.

Demetry joins Petra in the Team attack on Sorceror 2, hitting first for 9 points, and finishing with a Smash for 5 more, killing the Sorceror off.

Vincent's timely stun is much appreciated, especially by himself. His powerful Team strike at Sorceror 2 receives a different type of appreciation, hitting hard for 17 points, slaying him. The damage helps heal his wounds, as the Demonic Regeneration does it's work.

Kail attacks Warrior 1, in an attempt to assist the team attack. His damage is negligible however, unable to pierce the Warrior's defense. The Fireball has no problem though, instantly slaying both warriors in a powerful burst of flames.

Petra regenerates 5 points.
The Demonic Sword takes it's payment. (-1 HP)
Vincent regenerates 4 points. (1 natural, 2 Demonic)

The bandits slain, you collect 2 Long Swords and 3 Sorceror's Amulets from their corpses.

Master Morty looks about at the bodies of the slain lying in grisly poses surrounding the wagons. "That was a close one, my guardians. Once again I thank the Gods that you answered my call for defenders. I doubt any other could have succeeded as well as you. Do we continue, or do you have any business you wish to accomplish first?"

Master Morty assesses the damaged wagon with a professional eye, then answers,"I believe 150 chips will cover it. I apologize again for the necessity, but I think your making the right choice. I've been thinking about what that man we first ran into at the beginning of our journey said; he mentioned Ali Baba and his Forty Thieves. If that was more than a clever affectation, we have dispatched thirty-three of them so far, by my reckoning. So I would think the last of them would be the worst of them, so we had better be prepared. And who knows what the leader may be capable of. I shudder to think of what has passed; but a terror grips me when I think about what may yet come."

Master Morty ponders a bit then says, "Well as I said at the beginning of this journey, I carry a complete supply of your standard adventuring supplies. So if you need a few potions, I can arrange it. And Vincent is already aware of his... options."

((And as far as your new CP, I will allow your team to decide for themselves. I was planning on awarding you all 3 CP for completing this Dungeon, with your current beginning Stats. If you choose to use your upgraded characters, this reward will be reduced to 2 CP, as a result of the change in difficulty for the final battle.))
