Yo Kloudy you want me to set up a chaos beast encounter for your orc band? It'll be significantly more difficult than any village. You might loose a lot of orcs. What do you say?

 

[Svisttt]

Ok im back sorry for the delay i had an emergency last night that kept me up pretty late. Beginning the replies now.

Hope everything's okay!

Go for it! I got a lot more green stompahs where that came from!

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

Radio_Rat66.6 Did you post before you were done?

Because you kinda left me in between a rock and a hard place. I have nothing to respond to. Do you mind writing her coming back from checking on the horse and giving Yamil something to do. Otherwise I'll just have her go...

 

[Radio_Rat66.6]

The Suspicious Eye Right now Emara is checking for any other symptoms. She will have something for Yamil to do. She could be in the room with the mare and help with the diagnosis for now.

Alright, I guess. But if you ever want to push their conversation forward more in a post feel free to. I don't mind responding to longer posts.

 

[Kloudy]

WeaselThor I'm assuming that you'll be controlling this creature for this fight, right? Just making sure you didn't want me to do some long post detailing the whole battle, which I can also do if you want.

Ill let you choose. The beast is a toughy. Not at all top tier but enough that even Your super orc is at risk. However it isnt impervious to really sturdy weapons. (You can forget about arrows, spears, or any non magical orc weapon...aside from maybe a club which is sturdy enough to not break but wont really do a lot of damage.) If your orc horde is an 8 outta 10 in force. This beast is 7 or 7.5 heavy casualties are expected. But it is a territorial solitary hunter which means you likely wont meet another creature this night.

 

[WeaselThor]

The name of the Base creature is a Baloth. Since its been Chaorupted it is Now A Ridged Chaos Baloth. (Just in case you wanna know what to call it.) Kloudy

Well, I mean obviously we're going to fight it with everything my force and I have until our very last breaths because we're all orcs. If my orc horde has a slight advantage, also factoring in myself, then I think I want to attempt to kill this thing. However, it'd be a shame to lose the soul. Is it okay to say I brought an orc shaman with me to store the soul in a container or something? (If it's possible of course). And I'd like you to continue playing the Chaorupted Baloth please. : )

I would like to let you know that my current orc force does not represent the entirety of all my orc warriors. I do have an army spread out across various orc villages, but I can't get them here in time to make a difference. But I just thought I should make that clear anyway.
Also, how many orcs does my current force have? And to draw a comparison, how many people were in the village I just destroyed and how many of them were trained guards? Just so I know the lore of how things work and get a feel for the world. (Again sorry for my neverending tide of questions. I am as thirsty for knowledge as my orc xD)

(Dont be sorry i live for this s**t.)
I figured that was the case its fine ill allot up to 12,000 orcs all together under your command.

The village has about 880 citizens. Only about 90 of whom were soldiers. Orcs are pretty prideful and way to much of a match for these guys. We can say about 150 orcs took the town with only a loss of about 6. (10 if you count the Chaorupted Baloths current victims.)
So you got about 140 left. The town covers about half a square mile and if the orcs lit up the barracks the wall and nearby homes have been ignited so they wont offer much cover. There is a large Iron and stone Gazebo which is on top of a hill in the town it could be a useful battle position.

Yes to the shaman. And on a side note that shaman may be the single most useful orc in this force. (It also makes sense because shamans in the orc culture do the prayer of Logoth for funeral rites so literally every war party needs one just in case someone dies.

 

[WeaselThor]

And ill gladly play the baloth.

 

[WeaselThor]

And if he devotes the soul tp a living god then they just may meet the Deity even if just for a moment.

Ooh, exciting! Also, what kind of magic would the shaman possess? I assume some kind of buff/debuff spells, although I wouldn't imagine he'd be powerful enough to make too much of a difference. If anything, I'll have that shaman be my advisor seeing as he's at least intelligent enough to use some magic. Actually, to make things easier, could you take control of the shaman as well?
Also how heavy is the Baloth and what stats would you give it? I.e. str, def, spd, etc. I have a plan in mind and that gazebo will definitely come in handy.

The Shaman would actually not use any Debuffs. Orcs like fighting strong foes so weakening them would probably get the shaman drawn and quartered.

He uses buff spells (like a strength buff call KIYAAA!!!. which adds +2 to your base strength.) and fireballs, lightning bolts etc.

The Baloth stands 16ft from foot to shoulder and is 28ft long. It weighs about 26,000lbs and has 2 1/2 inch think armor plating. It has a tongue like a chameleon which can extend up to 56ft in length and snatch up to 1200lbs. It also hawks acid lugiis. Then each barb is poisoned.

Str: 29

Spd: 19

Def: 27

Int: 1

Cha: 2

Sta: 8

Its pretty deadly but it does have its weaknesses. It has poor vision and bad turn radius making dodging quite easy. In addition it seems to often forget its own abilities and just go for brute force usually only using its poison barbs or acid if pushed into a corner. Its weight can also be a weakness, such a large creature has a hard time getting traction and it cannot climb so if someone can somehow get out of its reach and get cover it will give up. Above all else its biggest weakness is its intelligence. This creature has no attention span. Its litterally a kill on sight hunter. Very poor tracking ability numbers and Coordination are the best ways to kill it...but orcs are the worst practitioners...so there will be a very interesting battle.

Also much like the orcs the Baloth is an apex predator in the plains. It wont run either so even if injured it will fight.

Ok but the Shamans Name is Kreech.

Good lord those stats are much more frightening than I had anticipated! xD
Still, an orc never runs! It's a good thing it's low intelligence is its weakness, not that any of my orcs or Muh himself is much for exploiting that. Let's hope our shaman can help us out lol.
Anyway, I'll let you handle how many orcs the Baloth kills and whatnot, but I'll still dish out orders to them and rp their actions. Hopefully we don't get completely wiped. I also wanted to ask, I was toying with the idea of Muh having some large monster predator be a sort of hunting rival to him. Like they've fought before and left scars on each other, etc. The Baloth reminded me of that, so I wanted to know if you could perhaps find something like that for me? Something particularly strong and somewhat intelligent, but it should be about even with Muh and a small hunting party of orcs.
Also I asked about it's weight because I wanted to know how feasible it was for Muh to grapple with the beast. Like if it tried to bite him, could he hold the thing's jaw apart to save himself for a brief moment while he escapes from danger? Or if he were to lasso it round the neck, how capable would be in holding it back? I don't imagine it'd be possible to tame a chaorupted creature, but my plan would go a lot smoother if I could do these things. (Of course I have no issue if none of what I've mentioned is possible).

On another note, it's late so I won't be able to post tonight. I'll prepare a lovely opener to our battle tomorrow after college~

Yeah most of the bigger ones have stats like that, no worry thats where numbers, magic, and teamwork come into play.

Yes to the ruval beast...ill even include a part of the story for it and make it non Chaorupted (you are right about not being able to tame them)

As for grappling. Oh yeah bro. A hero with a strength of 10 could probably hold its bite for a second or two. (Literally every orc here) Muh could more than likely deflect bites with club strikes. Think of it from a real life perspective. A Bear is alot stronger than humans best...but they dont have weapons and we can and have Wrecked them pretty consistently for centuries now. Animals will almost always be superior to humans and other mortals
(Horse stats

Str: 14

Def: 4

Spd: 19

Int: 1

Cha: 4

Sta: 23)
But low intelligence is a real mofo. On top of that most animals with the highest stats are solitary hunters.

(There are things in the triple digits)

Muh in all honesty could probably win a solo battle with this creature 3/10 times but that would. If you factor in the squad the baloth wins 1/10 rounds and thats under some crazy circumstances so i wouldn't worry too much. With monsters its important to note that they are deadly. But as a PC you can out think them 90% of the time. Good rule of thumb "if its bigger than you, it can probably kill you in 1 hit...so dont get hit."

Hm, good to know my dudes can deflect bites. Should up their survivability. Not to mention their randomly distributed armour might save them for a few seconds if they get caught.

Huh, I kinda though horses would have less strength than that but fair enough. (Mainly because 9 is implied to be almost superhuman in nature).
And I don't even wanna know what the triple digits are like (yet). xD
Ooh, now I reeeeaaally wanna solo battle it! Hm, maybe another time, unless things go really badly.


Oh, I also controlled Kreech a lil bit to tell Muh what the creature is called, he's all yours now. : )

Alright awesome. I live your post. Gimme a bit to charge my phone and ill post.

 

[Kloudy]

God I'm just now rereading my post and finding all the tiny errors I've made. That's enough rping early in the morning for me lmao xD
Btw are we able to level up our character's stats? Say, if I defeat this Chaos Baloth by outsmarting it, do I gain intelligence? Is training also a viable way of increasing one's stats?
Also, what happens to dead chaorupted creatures? Do they disintegrate or pull a 'skyrim dragon dissolve' with only the bones left? I wanna keep one of the thing's teeth as a trophy. : D

The chaos melts away and the body remains. As for training yes characters will be leveling up during encounters and be able to attain addition stat points to distribute.

But are they situation-specific? If I start lifting weights, will I get stronger? As opposed to lifting weights and gaining a point to put into intelligence, which doesn't make sense. xP

Yes. Stat specific training is a thing but usual exercise will only maintain what you have once you get beyond 5.

Right, I was just making an example. Thanks~
