ListenToLife Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 We've managed to get it severly depleted on energy (About a half was it?) and we've got it panicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kōsuke Ueki Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 So, he's desperate now. Much like in most anime, when the main protagonist is able to outmatch the main antagonist, he/she uses desperate choices to try and take them down. So, I'll be back with my popcorn once I see Merciful's next post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Elnherjar's health is only about 30%, while (thanks to Alexi+Lyon) its size and mana have been cut down to 1/4. But if everyone's incompetent, that stormcloud will go away and it'll get its 'regen' ability back, allowing it to restore all its health points with the moonlight.

Love of Ghibli Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 [quote name='Double C4' timestamp='1357846989' post='6117401'] Question: How the hell would lightning hurt Elnherjar? In fact, would it do ANYTHING? Granted, covering the clouds definitely does slow him down, but I think lightning will only anger him if you don't use a sword as a lightning rod, like what Thor did in the Avengers movie. Anyone who knows which scene I'm referring to will get a cookie. [/quote] I just watched that last night lol though to be honest who is the one holding a lightning hammer and would live through the experience.

Sit around and eat popcorn as Elnherjar destroys all life on the planet. B. Rip out Elnherjar's roots manually and allow it to crash into the ground, allowing it to enroot itself properly and absorb the energy of every single living thing who has ever died and was buried, as well as the magnetic energy and gravity of Lath. C. Hit it with lightning, using Lyon's stormcloud for the lightning and one of Clarice's many Giant weapons as a lightning rod. D. Keep it occupied so it doesn't end up killing everyone too quickly (death count already at over a hundred, should escalate to thousands within the next thirty minutes if it isn't dead by then). E-Y. ?????? Z. Ask me to end the battle so we can get this RP finally over with, and I'll deal the final blow myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damiano Tosē Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I choose options, D first - B second - than C last. At least keep it occupied to one, two, or three targets at best. Clarice and Tavair can single-handedly try and take down the tree branches and hopefully the roots, but even taking down the roots would be a pain. Hitting it with lightning is mainly all we have at best. Well... time to make some popcorn and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love of Ghibli Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yeah I get that there is an energy to be absorbed by why can the tree absorb gravitons or what have you? I mean yes I don't think putting a tree up right on the ground sounds like a good idea but as I wrap my head around the things capabilities. It seems like it can have any power source as long as its roots are immersed in something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, Lath's moon is incredibly irregular. First off, it has a mass four times larger than the moon - in fact, it's EVEN BIGGER THAN LATH ITSELF. But somehow it orbits around Lath, instead of the other way around. This is because it's like a hollow balloon. [i]It's just the inflated mass of a human-sized entity.[/i] Because of this, it also radiates its own unique radiation that ordinary planetoids wouldn't. If Elnherjar appeared millennia ago, instead of flying into the air and uprooting itself to the moonlight, it would've simply stayed [i]embarrassingly[/i] stuck inside the castle, almost completely powerless and free to whittle down to death. That's because the moon at the time was much different, a more normal moon (similar to Jupiter's Io, volcanic).[quote name='Beginning446' timestamp='1357972369' post='6118754'] Yeah I get that there is an energy to be absorbed by why can the tree absorb gravitons or what have you?

Haven't really figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damiano Tosē Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Even draining the mana would be idiotic. Have to worry about the magicians and vampires that uses mana to their advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Well, Lath mana is normally both unusable and nonconvertible by modern science. No sorcerer can ever utilize them, but Elnherjar (being a tree-elf-vampire-thing) could. Notice how Alexi didn't directly steal mana from the moon, he had steal it from Elnherjar who was stealing the moon mana and converting it into its own special brand of mana that Alexi [i]can[/i] use. When people die, mana slowly escapes from their rotting bodies over time and blends right back in with Lath mana, but can also be collected before it becomes unusable. If Elnherjar is killed, it'll end up expelling a lot of mana into the air that could easily be collected before diluting. But the mana from the moonlight cannot be collected directly, unless you have a readily-available mini-Elnherjar abomination that you can leech off of. In the end, this isn't a fantasy RP but a [i]science-fiction[/i] RP cleverly disguised as fantasy. Magic's only possible on Lath because it radiates stuff that allows it. If a sorcerer ever traveled into space, unless they covered their spaceships with this radiation stuff, they would end up utterly powerless after a few minutes once the mana absorbed in their bodies naturally 'rots'. Isn't this great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinforce Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 But it's so fun to try and muddle out the mysteries of magic in this world.

You could potentially redirect it - alter the flow of gravitons and manipulate the curvature of spacetime - but you cannot 'absorb' gravity. Absorbing gravitons would merely make gravity effect you more; if Elnaer did that, he would merely attract everything to it. Oh, and I shall add an option E if necessary. Those arrows Feredir fired? I was planning a last resort sealing spell which would drain a hell of a lot of mana, but would basically create a 'mana blocking field' around Elnherjar, which would prevent him from absorbing any mana and pretty much make him useless for a few minutes, leaving him entirely vulnerable to the full brunt of our attacks - possibly also making him vulnerable to some internal attack from Alexi.
