There wasn't a proper reply from the tin man right across Cecilia, closest to the smattering of vagrants in the immediate path of the group. Instead, his heavy plates rankled mildly to signal the body inside deciding to move. The butt of his lance parted the grass underneath as his feet simply made their way towards the Myrmidon in front. The one entranced by the dancer nearby, of course. Though, that described a good amount of their enemies in the nearby area, which grimly summed up the need to cease their waffling about lest they miss this prime opportunity. The burly Knight's frame irradiated an aura made worse with silence, punctuated only by the nippy sound of his massive, red<del>table cloth</del>scarf billowing in the wind.<br/><br/>If this knight was in the mood for comfortable and civilized discussion, his input to the matter would be<strong>"SPEECH TIME LATER. MURDER TIME NOW."</strong><br/><br/>Without any sense of tactics, adherence to superiority or grasp of civility, Claire the Tin Man interrupted the drooling Myrmidon's pleasurable time with an unforgiving serving of iron lance.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Knight Lv. 1 / <strong>HP:</strong> 22/22<br/><strong>Armoured</strong> - Passive Effect / Any attack that would only deal 1 through 5 damage, no matter the source, the damage is reduced to 0.<br/><strong>Hold The Line</strong> - Passive Effect / Whenever you attempt to hold a chokepoint, the character with this skill blocks off enemy movement through the space to their right and left.<br/><br/>So, uh, yeah. Claire moves 3 east and attacks the Myrmidon 1 east of his current position.<br/><br/>So, combat hit or not = take initial hit rate (86) - enemy evasion (14) and 72's my final hit rate. But wait! On the weapons triangle, lance dominates swords! So, I add +15 to my hit rate and +1 to my base damage. So my final final hitrate is 87. Roll that, or under it to hit! Critical rate is 1. Subtract enemy's luck, 2. There is no way in hell I can crit. Alas. <br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Roll Result: evangel rolled: 1d100<br/>Comment: Claire trying to hit Adolf the Myrmidon.<br/>Result: 96, <br/>Total: 96<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME. I miss, and I look like a tool. Right, let's reverse this! Adolf the Myrmidon has 103 hit. Minus Claire's evasion of 5 and minus the weapon triangle effect of swords being inferior to lances of 15, Adolf has the final hit rate of 83. To crit, Adolf would have to roll 2 (3-1) or lower.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Roll Result: evangel rolled: 1d100<br/>Comment: Adolf trying to hit Claire the Knight.<br/>Result: 29, <br/>Total: 29</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Adolf hits! Now how hard does he hit for? Take his damage, 9, (10 - 1 from lance &gt; swords weapon triangle) and subtract my defense from it. Oh look. Claire's defense is 10. I guess that means Adolf hits Claire for 0. But it does not end there. As Adolf's attack skill is 6, and Claire's is 2, his 4 above qualifies him to attack Claire again! Hit 83 or lower, Adolf!<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Roll Result: evangel rolled: 1d100<br/>Comment: Adolf trying to hit Claire the Knight.

Not a crit, so the same as last time. 0.<br/><br/>Also, weapon durability for Lance is 44, -1 for the attack.<br/><br/></div></div><br/>A thrust which the wily Myrmidon saw just in time. Sidestepping off with a cheeky grin, the bandit licked his lips and took a fearsome stance. After all, it isn't every day that a tall, imposing nincompoop shows up just for the express purpose of making said bandit look impressive in front of a beautiful woman. With a flashy swing, he made a bid to slice Claire's head in half only for his blade to completely halt on the knight's iron face. Incredulous, the Myrmidon made a second attempt that was met with the same results.<br/><br/>Claire the Knight moves 3 square east! Claire assaults Adolf the Myrmidon! Claire misses! Adolf counterattacks and hits for 0! Adolf counterattacks again and hits for 0!
