[Group][Aconite]: So, strat?
It took Drew a couple of seconds of eying the goats quite seriously to realise this had probably been a joke.
Then he realised he’d left it too long to just laugh, so he had to pretend he’d been going with it all along.
[Group][Efthalia]: kk this is a 2 phase fight
[Group][Efthalia]: in phase 1 we cast the only spells we’ve got
[Group][Efthalia]: then in phase 2 one of us remembers to cast stone gaze
[Group][Aconite]: You actually thought about that for a second didn’t you?
[Group][Efthalia]:?
[Group][Aconite]: Aww, you’re cute
Efthalia summoned the elemental forces of fire for 2.5seconds and lightly singed the goat for three points of damage. It lowered its head, and charged her for five points of damage, which was a significant chunk of health.
[Group][Efthalia]: omg nerf goats
Shadows engulfed the goat and it flumped sideways with a despairing bleat.
[Group][Aconite]: Woot! SB crit for 8!
[Group][Efthalia]: Wow, it’s like playing with Bjorn
[Group][Efthalia]: also we were supposed to use stone gaze on it
[Group][Efthalia]: not just keep DPSing like a noob
[Group][Aconite]:?
[Group][Aconite]: But that’s what DPS do!
[Group][Efthalia]: you mocked the goat strat
[Group][Efthalia]: and now look what’s happened
[Group][Aconite]: You’re just jealous of my imba deeps.
Efthalia lobbed another impressive-looking but mechanically underwhelming flamebolt at the next goat, and this time Aconite swooped forward and petrified it. Three seconds later the goat recovered, and so they just killed it dead.
[Group][Aconite]: Take that you haedine fiend!
[Group][Efthalia]: you what?
[Group][Aconite]: It means, um, goaty
[Group][Aconite]: Now I think about it, it’s not that insulting
[Group][Efthalia]: lol
Five minutes later, they’d petrified and slaughtered the requisite number of goats, and Drew pulled up the map again to see where they needed to go next. He was halfway there when he realised he’d left Solace behind. He wheeled about and saw her standing at the top of the escarpment, looking out to sea. He ran back to join her.
There was a gradual slope down to the golden beach and the turquoise sea and the shell huts of the angry crabmen who Aconite and Efthalia would probably be asked to kill in about three levels’ time. In the distance he could just about make out the edge of the next island, and beyond that marble columns of the once great city of Minea. Beyond even that, he almost thought he could see the mainland, although it was almost certainly a skybox.
[Group][Aconite]: I’ve never been here before
