Knights of Tezoth

Ideally, Ferlutz should be your top priority right now. Whitecalm isn't that dangerous yet, since the wyvern has landed.

Ah, you mean that he didn't move after the nail? Yeah, I forgot to move him. He's heading to Stefania... I'll fix it now.

I'll post the chronicles now, see where this patched-up rubber flies, and then figure out where to position myself. I think it's in everyone's interest here to bring down drop him.

Better stand next to our group. If he does land, it'll be safer that way.

Round 5

While the wyvern was recovering, Axel struck Lorican. The latter barely managed to stay on his feet and only survived by some miracle.

The situation forced the Knight of Perfection to retreat urgently in order to drink a healing potion. Along the way, he managed to bump into Lester, who was just hiding around the corner and also restoring his health. Unfortunately for our coalition, the Northerner, with great pleasure and at the top of his voice, revealed the hiding spot of the Knight of Dawnsteel to everyone present.

There was hope that the judge would intervene, call a break, and give Lester a chance to hide, but the opposite happened. Not only did she not intervene, but she made it clear with her entire demeanor that nothing was violated here, meaning everything was in order. And thus, the fall of the Knight of Dawnsteel became a matter of time.

Taking advantage of such an unexpected gift of fate, Gingkink caught up with the Knight of Deus and swung at him with all his might. The disheartened Lester Vargas had no chance to escape, so he simply accepted his fate. At that moment, it seemed like a portion of joy was torn from each of us, despite the fact that the Knight of Joy was still on her feet.

In fact, Nelia, who had failed to hit anyone, decided to assume a defensive stance.

Ferlyutz, holding his shield forward, threw another of his nails. But not at Axel's wyvern or my pegasus, as expected from that brute, but directly at me. While his weapon was flying, I managed to shoot but missed. I also failed to dodge the nail. For some reason, the Knight of Flawlessness looked slightly annoyed. Maybe he was aiming at the pegasus after all and hit the wrong target?

Without waiting for the next nail, I flew to the southern side of the arena, having first shot at the wyvern. Weak, but at least something.

Avesom tried to strike Ambrose, but he easily dodged. The Knight of Hegemony would not tolerate such insolence and attacked back. Unsuccessfully. Realizing the situation was not working in his favor, the Knight of Deus set off after me.

Jason Whitecalm hit Axel's wyvern with an arrow.

The brave Orvald continued to stand aside.

Only Tarantos kept walking somewhere. But he didn't make it, because the judge ended the round.

Well, if I fly full down and to the left, I can shoot him and he won't hit me. Either he'll give chase and take a shot at someone else along the way, or he'll potentially focus one of ours.

True enough. Then maybe Vaitkalma is the better choice, since Lok backed out. I thought you and Ferlyuts would be trading blows here.

I checked, and if he gives chase, I think I still have one more turn to avoid getting hit by the nail. Ideally, I'll shoot the wyvern now and fly all the way down and to the left. It would be perfect if Akessel takes it down with his bow, but I won't insist — it's just a pain for everyone. After that, I'll play it by ear: either I keep bringing down the wyvern, or I switch to Watkalma. Because if I fall, he wins with very high probability.

Please, agreed?

Better than Whitekalma. Fly away as you wanted. Ferlyuts can now only throw knives at us to avoid being exposed, but their armor should absorb them.

Yashchur, will Ferlyuts reach Stef if she flies fifteen to the left? Seems like he shouldn't.

Let me explain about Whitekalma: Ferlyuts positioned himself so cunningly that all attacks on the wyvern go through Tarantos. You cannot attack the wyvern.

So he'll catch up with me in one turn, won't he?

Yes. But your regular shot will miss, so it's better to use it on Whitecalm. Isn't it?

Damn, he's got the Order of hardened masochists. What the 🤬

Then yes, it makes sense to take down Whitekalma and pray for a crit or bloodtox. Though with my spirit, he's even lower here.

Well, not completely miss — it's 10 damage (without crit) if I hit, plus a chance for a bigger bleed on the spirit. But I get it, he's not as troublesome as the Mikuyets.

Alright, I'll trust you on this, I shoot at Whitecalm and fly 15 cells to the left. If I'm not an idiot and calculated correctly, I can dodge the attack next turn and the turn after, though the positioning will be crap in terms of isolation.

In short, if everything's safe for now, I'll do as stated above and as Ples recommended. If any nuances come up, we'll sort it out tomorrow, since I really should've been in bed a long time ago already.

Tomorrow I'll only be back after 15-16 MSK. If I'm needed, Revan probably knows my Telegram, or someone can drop me a line on VK — I do check it every now and then. If Ples's actions on my behalf aren't cringe (that should stay my domain!), but safe, then I approve.
