Well..

-It is still your move. Alice has yet to use up her Item and Action Phase.-

>>392107
I took it to mean tailored to their class, ability and personal uniqueness. And as their leader and a user of any weapon type that makes it our kind of weapon too.

shoot it until it dies.

Alice can go ahead and use Rapid shot.

...I hate time mage opponents, I really do. And Doom doubles my hate.

Have Alice fly as high as possible while being in range to shoot. She needs to be 3 squares high to ignore doom.

Bloody hell, the bugger is a time mage type. We may want to give Overlord the fire wand and keep Alice away so she cannot become doomed.

We can't make him run out of mana easily so pound away at him from long range. The fact Alice can fly over the gap may give us an advantage.

If we can fatigue it, we may win by simply shooting it at range until it dies.

>>391684
What? I wasn't suggesting stealing! That's not awesome!
On the other hand, just plain shutting the door in our face after seeing a golden trinket that just happens to tick is plain rude. That's really, really un-awesome too.

>>392108
Hmm. This could be nasty but I think we can handle it as long as we don't really screw up.

For now, let's use standard long-ranged attacks to test for any unexpected defenses- we can have Alice use Rapid Shot next turn if all goes well now.

it's gonna haste itself and disable both of us before we can do jackshit, isn't it.

stay far, we may need to flee.

>>392112
I'm pretty sure flight doesn't work like that.

The only issue would be if it casts doom and then Stop. That would let it advance the ticker. Same with temporal shift. The answer is just nuke it hard and fast.

Alice should use light arrow and dark arrow mostly freely, to get lots of damage out there. The only time the Day Eater can deal normal damage is with a regular attack, and honestly, that is far better for us than it casting Stop or Temporal Shift.

The goal is to stay as far away as possible, evading it for as long as possible (probably going to only be 2-3 turns) until we get doomed. Then Alice should fly over the pit so she can stay out of melee range, and she can then burn all her spare HP into light arrows, while Overlord keeps the Day eater as occupied as possible.

Also, Doh! We forgot the Burst shoes. If we can still equip them, they should go to Alice, so she can stay out of melee range, potentially even if slowed.

>>392203
Alice has wings, she can fly. The only damage he can cause is melee, and Doom has a range of 3. We could literally walk away and let her pelt the thing to death. I'd rather not since it's kinda rude, but if the battle keeps too long we should consider it. Especially if Overlord gets near the end of a doom infliction. Putting the burst shoes on ourselves will make being slowed not nearly so bad.

>>392241
She can only move 3, even if she's flying, and although Doom only has a range of 3, we don't know the range of his other spells. Not to mention he has Haste, Slow, and Temporal Shift, all of which can be used to close the gap frighteningly quick.

>>392279
This means we have to use the gap in the map. Alice can fly over that anytime, but the boss can only cross at one square.

>>392286
Whatever, it's useless arguing, we'll take it one turn at a time, but trust me, that if the boss really wants to close the gap, he can.

Attack the gem in its head. If that fails, attack the tracery. Hopefully we'll be able to inflict Massive Damage. Overlord has a gun, right?

Alice flying straight up would be useful in this fight. Remember she has TRUE flight so she can use a vertical difference to her advantage.

Also she can float over the chasm there.

You might want to take the time and notice that Alice's Move phase was not mentioned. With Flight she can still only move three spaces. Moving up and down counts as a space. By moving three spaces up she has used up her entire move phase.
She can even combine moving up and down with other movements. For instance, she could move one up and two to the left. Or two down and one to the right.

Anyway she fires an arrow at the Day Eater dealing 25dmg

The black orb on it's abdomen glows.
The Day Eater appears beside you!

>DE: "Too fast. Youare moving far toofast."

The Day Eater casts Slow on you.

>>392357
That's fine, we can still reach it.
Overlord: Walk up and slash it.
Alice: Move 3 up again and use Rapid Shot.

give no fucks. move in and slash, alice get to three spaces away and shoot it again.

Blade and rapid shot for sure, we need to focus on taking it down as fast as possible.

Is there falling damage? Alice should move three higher if there is, just in case this guy tries to teleport to her and cast something. At least he will get a smack when he falls.

Weird.... the guy seems pretty clock/time based. Since we have no plans to use our item phase, let's use it to simply show the golden watch to the Day Eater. For all we know, this could be used to control him since they seem really similar for some odd reason(clock that tells doom and a clock based golem who has doom as a ability? Odd...)

Other than that, use our gun. We want consistent damage if we want to bust this guy.

>>392400
Hey, that's an interesting idea. Seconding.
There's no way it'll go wrong.

>>392400

you know what? do it. and if it don't work, slash it into ribbons. and Alice can fly up as far as she can without being too far to shoot it.

>>392354
Ah, ok. Wasn't sure if flight worked like that in Overlord universe. I figured it just let you go over obstacles and stuff, rather than introduce a Z-axis to battlefields.

>>392357
"Alice shoot the Orb"

>>392420

also a good idea. can't believe nobody saw it. in fact, Overlord may as well aim for it too.

Attempt Subjugation with Golden Watch.

assuming he doesn't react to the clock, we might should have Alice use dark arrow. we can take 15 damage and it would really up her attack power.

Repairing means it's almost certainly a construct. The gem is likely to the Day Eater as our eye is to Overlord. Even if destroying that doesn't kill it, it might limit its magic.

You decide to use your item phase to reveal the Goldeon Watch to the Day Eater.

>DE: "Thew tch. Gi e Me T e Wat h. Giveme th watchand I wi l end t is fight."

It holds out its hand.

"I would like to know what the connection between you and this watch is. If possible, could you explain its function and purpose? After, I will give you the watch. You have my word."

ask it why it wants the watch, assuming its not because he wants it to explode the world or something say you'll give it to him if he agrees to serve you.

lol. well we have a chip if this goes pearshaped. "just wanted to know if it was important" then kick it's ass.

>>392636
"End the fight? Will you use the watch to unleash some kind of super ultra attack on me? Or will you surrender? Come now, explain yourself."

>>392644
This. That wording is a little too easily malleable for my tastes.

"Cease fighting and I shall give you the watch"

Hey no, I want this thing's loot. We're not just giving the watch away to end the fight, we need something more than that.

>>392647
Through diplomacy we can theoretically get both its loyalty and its loot.

>>392648
Honestly, I don't really want it as a companion, whether it's level got dropped when it joined us or not. We have a lot already, I want to be selective in who we recruit.(*cough*Harem only*cough*) but no, really.

Honestly I think we should try the recruiting if that is what it implies. This fellow is a pretty strong golem and if the golden watch has a secondary function, having him with us may prove helpful.

Besides, a harem should have variety. After all, some of us like guys here. Besides, the LAST female we recruited to the 'Harem' caused nothing but trouble and made Emily sad.

Also, a time mage is STILL a time mage. Bitch to deal with, lovely to have.

Well he wants it, and offers to give up for it. Too bad that isn't worth fuck all to us, we want to kick his ass and won't have much trouble doing so. I mean hell, imagine what we can do with all that time magic construct scrap. Tell him he'll need to make a better offer.

Subjugate him.

>>392658
I was mostly kidding with the harem bit anyway, it's been coincidence/circumstance that got us our current set of recruits. It doesn't help that 99% of the planet is populated by females or monsters.

>>392667
This. Whatever we loot from him could be equally useful as another unit, especially with the limits on deployment on most maps.

let me think about that.

hmmm...

nope. ^3^

This guy's strength is in his large number of synchronous abilities; once he gets the train rolling, it's going to be hard to stop. He hasn't gotten it started yet, but we shouldn't get cocky just because he's failed to do much useful stuff yet. Don't get me wrong, I still say we refuse, but I doubt this is gonna be a cakewalk. Don't let up on the heat yet. Blade and rapid shot, all the way. Alice, go higher, too.

Shit, now the train starts rolling. Okay, well, overlord's HP is not at risk here, since this thing primarily kills by doom, I think. Alice, dark arrow, full charge. Overlord, he's still close to you. Close the gap and slash again.

keep hammering away at it.

Yep, Dark Arrow and slashing.

Also, target the orb. It might deal quite a bit of damage if broken, disable his magic, etc. If it disables magic, it might even dispel Doom, depending on if it requires a constant.. "focus" that the construct's mastered and made second nature by now, or if it's already.. latched onto you and it just taking its time.

If we break the orb we won't get it as loot after the battle.

>>392785
Why? We break people's bodies and we get THEM as loot after battles.

>>392786
...'course, people have souls and a magic teleport-home system, which I doubt orbs do. Don't target the orb unless strictly necessary.

Toss him the watch, you really are being awfully stubborn. He might even join of his own accord now or later if you just hand it over.

Smart bugger. Stop allows him to speed up Doom and gives us less time to damage him. Don't heal just yet. Use a turn to put on the angel ring and focus on just hitting him.

Remember, dispair has a chance of causing fatigue which means he can only move or attack while affected. Try not using the sword since it has pretty meh accuracy compared to the gun. Right now we need a steady stream.

>>392910
items don't take a turn .

Use a turn to put on the angel ring AND focus on hitting him means put on the ring and shoot. We really should focus on dealing with what is possibly the origin of the Golden Watch.

Use gun on robot.

Huh... say it sound like a deal, but ask him what he'll do with it because you don't want harm to come to you and yours over it. And why doesn't he want you hurt? What does he know?

He's still using that flexible terminology. I will give you... and can end this fight." As in either, "I will stop fighting you and we can both leave peacefully," or "I will gain a super attack that will annihilate you utterly and the fight will be over."
Tell him to use more concrete language or else you're not taking any deals. And yeah, laser and another dark arrow.

I would like to note that the golden watch is currently doing nothing much at all, and we've been told it picks its owner. If we are not meant to carry it, we wouldn't be able to keep it. Same goes for him.

So we might actually get a FREE time orb out of this.

Now this looks like something we can use. First, let's show our resident tinkerer the orb to see what she can do with it exactly. Being able to teleport or giving us some time based powers could give us a major edge. Hell, regeneration may come from it.

Also inform her about the connection to the golden watch. This may be important later on.
