Fantastic work!

[Zuzana]

Reva, may I ask about your attack points? What the first +2 points mean? I get that your staff is LVL 15 + 2 = regular attack power of 17, + your horse brings 1 attack = 18, + 2 points are the staff bonus = 20, I can't figure out the last 2 APs.

And yeah, the healing is a bummer. That's why I saved the Everybody lies quest till now. ;-) It will help a bit.

[Reva]

The attack on the Green Dragon gives your staff an extra +2 points.Blending hat +2

I shouldn't have counted the hat in the second attack -- but it didn't make any difference in the result. Attack corrected.

[ClaireB]

Wow! Congrats Reva!!!

But Blending in hat doesn't bring any attack bonus at all. That's why I didn't buy one in the first place. It reduces the number of days between battles with common animals by one. I don't know about any other effect it has.

I know it doesn't make any difference in the overall battle result (since you'll manage to kill the dragon in two strokes anyway) but if there's an item that brings Ap bonus I'd like to know about it (so I can get it pronto myself).

Wow! Awesome Riva!

You know I thought the same, but since nobody seemed to say anything I thought I just missed something. But I checked and you're right there's nothing that says that the hat gives extra attack power :(

I think I got it right this time :-)

But Please, with so much juggling, feel free to correct me. The hat was a typo error

GONNA LOVE THOSE ORBS!

Yeah, it's crazy how the game has become so complex and intricate. I love it. Kelly and Tea did a great job.

And don't worry, Reva. When first I drafted my dragon killing spreadsheets I had to correct them several times before I cought all of the mistakes (and I am not entirely sure that they're 100% right now).

CONGRATS, Sir Reva, the Dragonslayer. :)

[Reva]

Thanks

Bartender! Drinks all round.

:-)

[Zuzana]

Reva I don't understand the 2 healpoints you used before your 3rd attack. Where did they come from?

Also, I see a couple of mistakes but this time you robbed yourself of several APs (Posion Potion takes effect at the beginning of monster's every turn). If you explain the health points I can rework the battle for you. :)

I get it that you either ate some health restoring meals (eggs or meatballs) or did the restive healing (spell-it-out) worth 6 HPs before the battle but those latter two points escape me.

[Reva]

I had 8 heal points from months ago sitting around so I used 6 at the beginning and 2 later on.

I was under the impression that the poison only worked on the first strike not every hit.

Minor Poison Potion - Poisons the monster causing 2 amount of additional damage at the beginning of the turn.

If there's a problem using the 2 Heal Points mid battle, I can always sub a minor heal potion for 5 pts.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Amazing job of dragon slaying Sir Reva!

[Teresa]

My understanding is you can only use heal points at rest, not in battle, and I took the poison potion to mean every turn not just the beginning of the battle

Minor ..."

Reva, I think that the restive healing points can be used only in-between the battles. I'm almost sure that we discussed it in the original thread when people wanted to know what's the difference between restive healing and healing potions.

As for the Poison Potion, that's the way poison works in every decent RPG game. It steals a certain amount of points from the monster at the beginning of it's turn. Even with the wording as it is I think it can work either way. So as always when uncertain I say: Let's wait for Kelly to decide.

[Zuzana]

I so wish that there were a "search the thread" option on GR. It's a pain in the neck to try and find anything in 52 pages long thread. :(

[Zuzana]

Reva, I found it. here's Kelly's answer:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

"The general healing can only be done outside of battle. Since you can't sit and rest during a battle :) "

[Reva]

Ok so I corrected Red Dragon attack and subbed in the Minor Heal Potion

Getting the extra 2 points for the poison potion would have netted me only 4 extra points -- not enough to finish any earlier.

Being able to use it throughout the battle would likely make a difference in longer battles.

[Amanda]

Kelly asked me to look in on you ladies and gents while she and Tea are away.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to find the answer.

LOL! That's because your weapons' levels are so fricking high that you can kill even dragons in two strokes. XD For the rest of us peasants the dragon battles will last much longer. ;)

P.S. And there are times when 4 APs make a huge difference.

[Reva]

LOL

See -- it pays to level up. :-)

I could even successfully attack the BLUE DRAGON today. I'm debating. It will cost me 5 heal potions because my HP is 2, but I would level up to 9.

If I wait till I'm full strength, it will cost me only 3 Heal Potions.

[Reva]

Hmm I'm at 346 exp and only need 14 to level up. That would restore my HP to 26 +1.

Yeah I think I'll wait.

[Cathy]

Congratulations on your dragon slaying Reva!!!

[Reva]

Thanks.

[Alex]

Yay for dragon killing! Congrats! I'm so jealous, I haven't killed anything more exciting than a goblin yet. Definitely going to invest some time into levelling up my staff.

[Reva]

OH AYE AFTER EVEN MORE ALE -- A BLUE DRAGON HUNTING WE WILL GO



• Great Blue Dragon -. Both of your weapons have a tendency to hit a bit softer on this beast (half as hard if you want to know specifics). However, for each healing potion you use, the blue dragon loses 5 health points.

[Rebecca]

Reva - how did you get a +6 for your weapons? I know some is the horse, but is there something else I'm forgetting? I would love to up my sword without all the books :)

[Reva]

Sword Level 5 + 2 +1 Baroque Horse + Orb of Earth (Adds 3 attack to a Sword) = 6

Staff 15 + 2 +1 Baroque Horse + Orb of Fire (Adds 3 attack to a Staff) = 6

[Reva]

I know I keep saying this but it is easier to level the staff first -- fewer pages to read. Then work on your sword. At least it worked well for me. I couldn't have attacked the above dragons without doing so.

[Zuzana]

Congrats, Reva. :-) That orb of water is IMO the most useful (shiny) artefact in the game so far. Can't wait to get one.

[Rebecca]

Oh yes I forgot about the Orb of Earth! I don't have a staff at all because for me it was too hard to find books to easily fit (especially since I can't make myself read series out of order), but it seems to be okay for me so far. However, there will be a limit to the sword because of the page numbers.

I would recommend people who haven't started or read a ton of series to definitely work on the staff.

[Rebecca]

Congrats on all the dragon kills!!

[Nancy]

Oh my, congratulations to all you dragon slayers! You are truly awesome!

Thanks guys. I figured that I'd just do 1 Green Dragon. Then I started to play with the attack scenarios and saw that blue and red were possible too.

The Heal Potions and Minor poison potions really helped.

Congrats Reva!

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Congrats Reva!! :)

[Kelly]

Congrats Reva :) I leave for a few days and all my dragons get slain.

Must go plan more evilness.

[Reva]

Thanks guys. Welcome back Kelly. Hope your break away was very restful.

So the great debate while you were gone was about whether Minor poison potion was only applied during the first strike, or whether it's effects were seen on every strike of the same battle.

I also wondered whether I needed to use 2 bats for each strike or did the first strike bats keep me aloft throughout the battle?

[Zuzana]

CONGRATS, Reva! :) Now it's only the BIG BAD DRAGON for you.

P.S. I thought it was quite clear that for the Yellow Dragon you need a fresh pair of Bat wings for every turn you attack.

[Reva]

That's what I used but you confused me with the minor poison potion. So I wasn't 100 percent sure.

So now I have to get more potions and heal up for the BIG ONE. Frankly, I thought that I was months away from even attempting any dragons. I didn't do any spreadsheets or pre-planning. -- just thought I'd try for the green and before I knew it--aaarrrgggghhhh 4 dragons down.

You know what they say. Walk softly and carry a BIG STAFF. LOL

[Cait S]

So in Cait Hates This Quest news update:

I'm on my fourth ladder book and it is THE BEST BOOK I HAVE READ IN MONTHS. I never would have found it if I hadn't gone like 12 pages back in a goodreads search for a book to fit this. Basically I'm completely in love with it and so now I have to forgive this quest for being the worst thing ever.

If anyone digs vampire stories is A+++++

[Kelly]

Lets do bat wings each attack.

I'm still out of town so internet is spotty.
