GGaD » [@Time@GalaxE@Eliza~Future thread] Just a normal day at the Clocktower

Time · August 4, 2020 17:21:28

Time makes a small smile, "Thank you."

"So. Do you think we should all get to planning? For when the attack will happen?"

GalaxianExplosion · August 4, 2020 18:05:51

"Definitely," Nagesh says. Though his tone isn't exactly grim, it's not cheerful as usual.

Time · August 5, 2020 09:27:07

"Definitely" Time repeated, "I'll start to call in some more mages to be stationed here and around the area."

((Doink))

SpecterTheGreat · August 14, 2020 13:25:04

((*insert clueless Specter* huh? What?))

Yvonne nodded. "Are we going to take specific roles? I can amplify everyone's energy to more than double, if I use a spell."

GalaxianExplosion · August 14, 2020 14:02:21

"You can do just about anything for defense," Lianhuan says to Yvonne. "But you can't really do everything...so maybe you should just do the priority?"

Basket Cat · August 14, 2020 18:09:59

"I'm not sure what I can do." Chronos said.

GalaxianExplosion · August 17, 2020 11:33:17

"Well, Chronos, no one can spread the word faster than you on your...wheelchair," Nagesh says. He just learned the term "wheelchair" a while ago and as such isn't completely fluent with the use of the term yet. "That's just one out of many." He pauses because he's unsure if he's thinking in the wrong direction or leading the conversation in the wrong direction or whatever. "Can we expect any offensive patterns from our presumed foes?"

SpecterTheGreat · August 17, 2020 11:45:39

"There are several possibilities, but my dreams were not able to predict a consistent pattern," Yvonne muttered apologetically.

GalaxianExplosion · August 17, 2020 11:47:06

"If I can say so myself, I think that's fine. Our foes aren't all that consistent, but that doesn't mean they're not consistent." Nagesh's gaze roves over to Time. "May I confirm this?"

Time · August 17, 2020 14:24:46

Time nods, "I'm aware the CDs do have a pretty large ego, and that they greatly outnumber us. So my guess is that they will attack straightforward, with no complex tactics. I would think as well as gaining access to this tower, they would like to make a show of it. And the biggest show for them is plowing through, for most of them. That is."

"Another reason that makes me think they'll attack straight on is simply just how small our forces are. They could easily overwhelm."

GalaxianExplosion · August 19, 2020 20:39:12

(Nagesh really doesn't want to talk this much lol but no one is talking)

They did have an army, Nagesh realized. Or not really realized. Re-realized. Or perhaps, more than one army. Or less. It depended on what they really wanted to bring.
He really wasn't too bothered by the fact he'd have to fight. He had known that, after all. But the fact that there were other people who might be killed because they needed to fight sent a chill through his form. For what? Nothing, really, except the greed and ego of a bunch of supposed immortals.
"Then shall we try to call some reinforcements, then?" he suggested.

SpecterTheGreat · August 20, 2020 00:10:04

((What can I do xD Yvonne isn't one for long conversations either.))

"That might sound like a good idea... but where would we find them and why would they come."

Time · August 20, 2020 20:21:30

((I mean idk rip lol))

"Of course." Time said, "We can call on the request from other deities, but we can't exactly rely on them to come to aid instantly. I'll also get to calling to bring in some more of our mages."

GalaxianExplosion · August 25, 2020 20:29:10

Nagesh nods. He's really trying to think about what he can do other than the priority. In the end he just waves his hand slightly to summon a paper and what seems to be a tiny marble.

SpecterTheGreat · August 26, 2020 12:26:41

"So if the plan is to call for reinforcements, then the idea would be to hold out until they arrive?"

Time · August 27, 2020 11:22:21

"Yes." Time said, "But as always, we can't exactly just wait and rely on reinforcements. We need know how to work without them."

Basket Cat · August 27, 2020 15:45:27

((I'm just stalking I don't think Chronos can contribute much to this conversation ;-; my brain is dead))

GalaxianExplosion · August 27, 2020 19:40:11

Nagesh hates to say it, but unfortunately, part of any tactic is making sure you know both ends. "In the worst case, where our enemy outnumbers us to the point where further combat is futile," he says, "what is the plan then?"
He adds, "To not dampen the spirit of the majority of the Clocktower, I'm aware this part of the plan wouldn't be informed to everyone."
Meanwhile, he levels the paper so it's fairly flat on his hand and drops the marble daintily on top of it. It rolls around as if trying to fall off before finally somewhat settling near the middle.

SpecterTheGreat · August 28, 2020 00:02:36

"That won't happen if we defend correctly..."

Time · August 28, 2020 17:29:48

((Rip))

"Knowing that there are multiple high level threats in the Corrupted deities's ranks, I think we'll need to prioritize forces to take them out, or at least hold them." Time explained, "But at the same time we'll need to divert forces to combat hoards or any other enemy that they bring."

GalaxianExplosion · September 1, 2020 19:19:57

That's a huge yikes to hear even for Nagesh, but he focuses on looking at the marble intently, nodding occasionally while Time speaks.

Time · September 1, 2020 22:31:31

It's a yikes for everyone, hearing that.

"Yvonne. I would want you to stay behind and from a distance, help strengthen others. I know you're magic reserves are almost limitless." He nods to her.

"Everyone else, I would like for everyone to be at least in pairs or groups and stay together. Strength in numbers."

SpecterTheGreat · September 2, 2020 09:07:40

She nodded back. "Should I find a centric location to increase the effectiveness of the aid?"

Basket Cat · September 6, 2020 19:51:55

"So, could I just like.... uh, work on being able to move?" she asked a bit absentmindedly. She must not have slept very well.

GalaxianExplosion · September 6, 2020 20:08:14

Funnily enough, Nagesh was following along just fine until Chronos spoke up, and now he's slightly confused, not really on the premise or the idea but just how it fits in with the discussion.

Time · September 6, 2020 22:37:57

Time nods to Yvonne, "It would be best. And while add it, maybe find a viewpoint of the entire forest, be like a watchtower."

He then directed his attention to Chronos, "Uh... yeah. I think that would be the best move for you. We'll need you at 100% as soon as you can." He looked worried about her.

SpecterTheGreat · September 16, 2020 15:04:24

"The very top of the Clocktower could work?" Yvonne suggested. "I can set up a temporary surveillance system too... for select hallways or important rooms, maybe." Then she quickly added, "We probably also want an effective way of communicating quickly."

"Perhaps the communication system being at strong efficiency would more than make up for a surveillance system," Nagesh suggests. He's not necessarily hesitant while doing so or tentative, but it's certain he doesn't want to seem imposing or help make too brash a decision by accident. "That way we could save some of your energy, Yvonne."
