Knights of Tezoth

He bravely stopped, got shot, the second one got shot too, and so Camistella was left without her gigachads. But she didn't grieve for long, since the XP in that battle ended there...

After such (and some other) comments, I'm starting to suspect that Astral went to Swordgard not to kill monsters at all...

Why would I need any monsters when I have Lester?

Then why did she abandon him during the brawl? And then someone wonders why I don't trust women, eh...

Why did she drop it? He approached her from the rear and gave her a triple roast...

So she deliberately set herself up for that? Well, we'll see how she performs from here on out.

Romance is when you brutally kill each other in turn ❤️

05.03.297 — a melee in honor of Deus Mariarnelia's birthday

Round 3

Axel, together with his wyvern, lunged at Lorican, dealing him insignificant damage. Lester, missing Rezara twice, knocked her out of the arena on the third strike and sent her for healing. Apparently, the poison was affecting the Dawnsteel Knight's condition too strongly. While Lorican and Gingkink were realizing what had happened, the Dawnsteel Knight once again blended into the surroundings and disappeared from everyone's field of view.

Coming to his senses, the Knight of Perfection shot at Bastion. Meanwhile, his rider, instead of fighting and putting up a proper resistance, cowardly ran past the opponents, leaving everyone behind. This nearly caused the morale of our coalition to drop. It was evident from Ambrose that he was ready to forget the original goal of defeating Albu's knights and lunge with his spear at Orvald to avenge such a strong deviation from the common plan.

Almost everyone looked displeased. Some chose to refrain from comments and excessive emotions. Only Lester's voice, sounding from everywhere and nowhere at once, suggested that the Golden Tower Knight's actions could be attributed to the fact that he sees no other way to achieve his victory, and he urged everyone to cool their ardor and remember the main goal of our union. The speech was addressed specifically to the Hegemony Knight, but it seemed to cool everyone's ardor. In any case, if anyone still saw Orvald as a team member after that, it was only a few. But no one attacked yet either.

While all this commotion was happening, Ferlyuts began to gradually close the distance with most of our coalition, simultaneously throwing a nail at Gingkink. With this action, he barely scratched the Crushing Strike Knight. Avesom, instead of taking action, preferred to take a break to heal with a flask. The ignited Bigchad did the same.

Nelia, exuding a terrifying aura, lunged at Tarantos but missed. Ambrose, meanwhile, cooled down, fully came to his senses, and abandoned the idea of attacking Knight Orvald. At least for now. Instead, he lunged with his spear at Lorican but slipped past. The Knight of Perfection also dodged Alaria's throwing knife.

Meanwhile, I accurately shot at Whitecalm, slightly piercing through his protective shell. But he reacted in accordance with his title. The Knight of Imperturbability only slightly frowned, as if an annoying mosquito had appeared nearby, then moved on, simultaneously depleting his flask's reserves.

While Gingkink and Tarantos, unable to hit anyone, moved forward, another gong strike sounded.

Romance is when you act together, as a team, as one whole. That's how it is with Lester and NeVesta 💖

What happened between you two is a textbook example of a toxic relationship. A pure red flag, not recommended ☠️

The essay will be tomorrow. I thought I could crank it out this evening, but no. Besides, I didn't like how some parts were written.

Actually, you took out Drozzdrang first. So if anyone could say "1-1," it would be the Knight of Virtuosity, not the Knight of Dawnsteel...

Nah, I thought about it — detection + skipping a turn is really some kind of nonsense. What's stopping the GM from just deliberately going to the spot where the enemy is standing to detect them? He knows all the positions. But does the player know them when an enemy NPC has camouflaged itself? I highly doubt it.

Due to the sequence of moves, to avoid confusion, I decided to combine it into one block like this. I've already changed the order in the text more than once based on the fact that everything happens "simultaneously."

A strange stop moment.

It is mechanically impossible to step onto a cell occupied by another character -> this reveals invisibility.

It is impossible to change a move mid-action -> if an action required moving to a specific cell and the movement was stopped by an unexpected block in the form of an invisible unit, you can no longer complete it.

In this particular case, nothing prevented him from drinking from the flask at the start of the movement.

+ Stop replaying moves already.
