[S] Perrix: Be overwhelmed.

[callouslystalwart]

For the moment, you're again PERRIX SEIYOS and you're still mostly BEING A BADASS.

Thanks to your trusty PERSONAL PORTABLE PAPARAZZI, you are again broadcasting your WHOLESALE ASS-WHOOPINGS to anyone who cares to watch. You're busting out all kinds of ridiculous acrobatic maneuvers off of so many handle-like objects (mostly broken flagpoles). You give an IMP something that looks a lot like this and even manage one of these on an OGRE.

Then SOMETHING UNEXPECTED happens.

The tides turn.

Where before the video had merely shown ONE (1) PERRIX SEIYOS beating up on a REASONABLE NUMBER (~) OF IMPS AND OGRES, the scene is now one of ONE (1) PERRIX SEIYOS "tactically withdrawing" from a TOTALLY HELLACIOUS NUMBER (?) OF IMPS and then some. And then a few more. In fact, the stream doesn't seem to be slowing down - at least one new IMP seems to come from some unknown location and onto the screen every second. They squabble and trip over one another for a bit, but you are now quite visibly running from what is a veritable KATAMARI OF PISSED-OFF IMPS, with yet more running amok all over besides. It isn't long before the tide of fangs and limbs washes over your PERSONAL PORTABLE PAPARAZZI, cutting the feed.

About 20 minutes later, after you've found a relatively safe hiding spot in the top of one of LOAAR's many broken spires and tended to your wounds, you decide you should open a memo to let others know of this HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE. It's not like you can do anything else when there is a figurative SEA OF IMPS skittering around the base of the spire - your saving grace is that they largely lack your JUMPING SKILL. You're suddenly very thankful that none of the ALPHA PLAYERS prototyped anything that could grant flight or exceptional climbing ability.


-- callouslyStalwart [CS] RIGHT NOW opened memo Bollocks. --

CS: ~I'm~ fine for now, for the record. ~~CS
CS: But this is absolutely dreadful! ~~CS
CS: They're worth less than a single XP each! ~~CS


You've got your priorities in order.

5warm5 like that are what ki11ed 5ome of the earlier player5
take rea5ona6le precaution5 moving forward!

[callouslystalwart]

Precisely why ~I've~ taken to higher ground for the moment. ~~CS
Not that ~I~ couldn't take this grouping, but if they continue to spawn at this rate for so little return then ~I~ could tire myself out for nothing! ~~CS

[defensivealchemist]

good
can you 5ee if they 5warm on top of each other trying to reach you
may6e they11 clim6 high enough that the 6ottom one5 would get 5qui5hed from the weight and yield gri5t
then you could ki11 ju5t 5ome of them for the 5ame reward5 a5 a11

[callouslystalwart]

They're just sort of milling about below. ~~CS
~I~ suppose that's both good and bad. ~~CS
They appear to drop grist regardless, but if they die of their own devices ~I~ don't believe ~I~ would get any of the experience. ~~CS

[defensivealchemist]

that5 ominou5
and pro6a6ly not =:T
6ut if i could only get either gri5t or experience id rather have the gri5t

[callouslystalwart]

Grist is useful, certainly, but at this point it isn't a particularly precious commodity. ~~CS
Well, unless you needed a specific type that drops only on a different planet from your own... ~~CS

[defensivealchemist]

...
different planet5 have different gri5t drop5?

[callouslystalwart]

At least the different types of monsters appear to, and they spawn on different planets. ~~CS

[defensivealchemist]

=:O
no6ody 5aid that 6efore
i think
i need to go

[callouslystalwart]

Looking to make something in particular? ~~CS

[defensivealchemist]
