>Hit any larger wolves you see. Keep the stronger monsters down.
Maybe summon some lava to halt their charge and make some back off when they see it.

>>38492429
>Hit any larger wolves you see. Keep the stronger monsters down.

though I SORT of want to retreat with shezka to the wall so we don't get shot by our own guys. I remember rome total war.

>>38492471
Lava should probably wait until we're no longer so much in the think of it that we can actually afford to stand still that long.

>>38492429
>Hit any larger wolves you see. Keep the stronger monsters down.
>Other
Let loose with the lightning into any larger clusters of wolves

>>38492493
>in the think of it
Meant:
>in the thick of it

I'm thinking 'larger wolves' also mean any that look evolved, regardless of size. They'd be bigger threats.

>>38492429
>Hit any larger wolves you see. Keep the stronger monsters down.

>>38492429

Would someone kindly start playing Rules of Nature?

>>38492429
>Hit any larger wolves you see. Keep the stronger monsters down.

>>38492429
>Hit any larger wolves you see. Keep the stronger monsters down.
Don't just 'hit' them either. Don't hold back. They aren't here to play and our friends could be hurt if this goes to far.

>Keep an eye out for the Alpha.
If we spot the Alpha, abandon other targets. Taking him out will do more damage to their morale than any 10 others. If we break their will to fight, we could end this with minimal loss.

>>38492649
>If we break their will to fight, we could end this with minimal loss.
I highly doubt killing the alpha will break their will to fight. Assuming the majority of them even notice it in the chaos of the fight, at night.

>>38492429
We should probably try to get back to the wall with shezka or something, were in the middle of nothing but hostiles in a siege

>>38492471
Supporting lava and general earth fuckery.

Also lightening. Sweep a couple bolts of lightening across their ranks.

>>38492679
I highly doubt we can afford to go wading through their ranks outright ignoring anything else in the first place when wovles are noted for teamwork.

>>38492715
Pretty likely its a whole bunch of different packs, wolves fight in packs, not hordes.
Thats a pretty huge difference.

Large wolf assault!

Give me 3d100, if you don't mind!

Rolled 24, 62, 71 = 157 (3d100)

Rolled 13, 92, 97 = 202 (3d100)

I hope we fight a opportunity for Nin to participate, this could easily be her last 8 level.

>>38492679
>A Giant Spider holds up the broken corpse of your leader, with one hand, as she casually sweeps aside everything in range with her spear in the other.

You think that won't damage their morale?

>>38492772
>>38492769
>>38492780
At least Jin and Sheszka are save, Lyra on the other hand is in trouble.

>>38492776
No, you assume they will see and pay attention to that show while being busy storming the walls.
Most of them have their back to us, they won't look back while fighting enemies ahead of them.

58 92 and 97!

Writing!

>>38492776
Or they see it as a challenge to throw themselves at us, depending on how competitive these guys are feeling.

You think Shezska would stop fighting if someone held up Lyras broken body over the crowd?

GUYS


WAIT

GUYS GUYS

IF WE BEAT UP THE LEADER OF THIS PACK, WON'T THE PACK BECOME OURS?

WON'T WE BE FOLLOWING IN THE OLD QUEEN'S FOOTSTEPS?

>>38492905
>Or they see it as a challenge to throw themselves at us,
That could work for us too. At least they wouldn't be attacking anyone else, and trying to crowd and overwhelm the Lava Spider really wouldn't go well for them.

>You think Shezska would stop fighting if someone held up Lyras broken body over the crowd?
Fair point. But if it got to that, I think it would be moot anyway.

>>38492905
>You think Shezska would stop fighting if someone held up Lyras broken body over the crowd?
That's different. Lyra's the kind of alpha that says hello and introduces herself before deciding to kill people.

>>38492967
And give that kind of ammunition to Nin? We would never hear the end of it.

>>38493039
I doubt that makes a difference to them.

>>38492967
of course not silly.
There's no way this could backfire.

So, I think we have this fight in the bag.

According to my simulators, if we count as an elephant unit, these gauls have nothin'.

Unless they release some flaming pigs.

>>38492967
Because we aren't the queen! Dear god imagine how terrible it would be if we were! (Also lets face it, the city idea was definitely a bad idea, and should only exist as a city the same way Washington D.C. exists as a city, that is it is literally a place for political representatives and tourists who want to look at history (if we ever DID rebuild it I think it should be one of the few places in that area that is open access, especially seeing as if this were the case there wouldn't be much worth raiding it over, you wouldn't score a strategic victory, you wouldn't cause many casualties, and you'd pay for it in blood probably) also it helps deal with the primary concern of the city in the first place.

>>38493208
>Unless they release some flaming pigs.
I don't think distracting Lyra with food will work.

>>38493208
The thing is, if we start stampeding we can't break through the wall and can only flee into enemy lines or rout off the battlefield.

>>38493241
good point. long as we don't break the wall.

>>38493208

*Lyra gets hit by flaming pig*
"They're throwing food at us? Is this a peace offering?"

You whip your head back and forth as you try to scan the field-
The alpha has vanished.

Whether he's hidden himself somewhere in the rush of wolves, or simply taken his pitch coloured hide and concealed himself in shadows, he's utterly out of sight.
You grimace, reorganizing your thoughts back to the problem at hand.

Wolves of all shapes and sizes flood through the clearing, moving in time with one another as the rush the walls, or Sheszka, or you.
Ah.

There's a circle of them around you now, crouching, snarling, snapping.
You idly note that they prefer their animal shape when fighting, apparently.
Maybe Sheszka would as well if she didn't have the gauntlets?

Then again, she is using the form now. Maybe it's simply the most effective against each other.

You snap your attention to your own aggressors, eyes flicking from wolf to wolf before you settle on the largest of them.
That one first.

You move, legs clicking threateningly, and they answer in kind, coming at you from all sides- a pair snap their jaws shut over your legs, pulling in opposite directions to try and keep you in place. Your arms shift as they mess your balance, and your chosen target flashes forwards, jaws slamming shut on your wrist, wrenching your hand and spear to the side-

>>38493333
The pressure is enough that you feel your chitin flexing, pain shooting up your arm as the wolf flails its head side to side.
You hiss fury and pain, your free hand striking out, slipping away from jaws already trying to close on it.

Your fingers sink through fur and flesh, tearing the larger beast free from your arm and hurling it backwards- it twists midair to land, but its attempt is cut short by the wall you thrown it into- bones snap audibly as you turn your attention back to your next set of victims.

Wolves retreat yelping, flesh scorched from contact with your limbs.
There's a slick feeling from your hand, but you ignore it, swinging your spear two handed before you- less your mother's trained strikes, and more brawl, clearing wolves from around you as you send them airborne.

Okay, that would be mindswap but I am way too lazy to keep this gimmick up.

After we blow our magic meter, dynasty warrior rules dictate we use the basic attack button over and over until one of our enemies drops a gourd full of good wine that gives us magic back.

>>38494145
I'm gonna hold out for a golden glowing triangle of power that gives us magic back. But I play different Koei Tecmo games

Hey lamb, glad to see you are helping us stalk you from thread to thread.

>>38494252
GOD DAMN IT. If it's going to remember my trip everytime I switch from tiny lizard to giant spider I may have to refrain from posting in giant spider

>>38494293
I'm pretty sure you're welcome here too just saying.

It's okay, Lyra is going to recruit tiny lizard to sit on her head in order to complete her ensemble

I don't think anyone would complain just leave the trip on, as long as we aren't waiting an hour for a lizard update and I fucking see you making jokes in the spider thread

Lacking vertical stone walls to shatter against, the wolves you smash away regain their feet, closing in again- some limping, and looking worse for wear, but still in the fight.

Another launches itself straight over its fellows, spittle trailing through the air as it closes.
You intercept it with the bar of your spear, bodily blocking the creature and hurling it back to the ground.

It hits the dirt with a roll, spinning away from your spear-point, but there was no real intent behind the half-assed strike.
Your lips form syllables, spitting what little magic your sister pounded into your head into the night air.

And the earth answers in spades, the ground heaving beneath the wolves' feet less spikes than pillars erupting into the darkened sky.
A half second of silence, of immobility from your opponents- but the magic is still coiling through the ground.
The pillars shudder, slipping back, ever so slightly.

And explode again, the eruption literal this time, molten stone accompanying your conjuration and scattering the wolves. Flashes of burning fur hurtling towards the river as your victims retreat.

A barely there pressure alerts you to more danger- a wolf clambering onto your skull, lips peeling back as it snarls- and then it's gone, torn free by a comet of feathers and fire, dragged halfway into the sky before it can even react.

Jin tosses her catch free into another mass of wolves, and you turn your attention back to the fight.

>>38494403

The wolves have reached the wall, and more than a few are throwing themselves up it's sides, digging in their claws where they can, and explosively jumping where they can't.

The adventurers are holding strong for now, shields and weapons lining the wall, smashing the pack down.
But you can smell blood on the night breeze. Wolf and human alike. Your own as well.

Your nose wrinkles at the scent, and you take a split second to scan the field again.
There!

A flicker of black fur against the brown and tan.

Writing!

You turn without hesitation, picking up speed as you go.
You are vaguely aware that you have abandoned hissing for the moment, and skipped straight to just screaming your throat raw.

There's a moment of panic, of wolves scattering out of your way.
And then there's another howl. The Alpha's howl, and they flow back together, rushing towards you, around you. Holding you back.
Slowing you down.

You don't slow down.

You are afire, a barrelling truck with only one destination in mind.
Wolves are trampled, smashed aside like animals as you roar.
"COWARD! WORM! VERMIN!"
You spit curse and insults alike as you force your way forwards, casting wolves away as they try to grab you, to bury you beneath bodies.
They keep themselves clear of the shimmering heat of your hands and the tips of your feet, attacking further up your legs, trying to aim for your soft flesh.

You feel chitin creaking as more beasts try to take hold of your limbs, and your hands ignite, sweeping away attackers in a shower of sparks and scream. You see Sheszka drag another wolf down, her jaws around it's throat.
Arrows everywhere, falling like rain around you, harpies peeling wolves from the wall and dropping them to the ground below.

Another flash of black fur. Left.
You turn, a spider's scuttling step, dropping one shoulder and lashing out with an elbow. An unlucky wolf loses teeth. And even more unlucky one buries its teeth in your upper arm, and you bite back, the taste of venom and blood flooding your mouth.

>>38495578
You break through like that, blood flowing free from your arm, someone else dripping from your fangs. A pair of larger wolves, flanking their Alpha, all three watching you carefully.
Sheszka lands next to you a half second after, her fur stained red, her eyes near demonic in your firelight.

You hear yells from the wall, harpy cries overhead. Jin's piercing call, her brilliant light flashing through the dark.
You barely recognize your own voice, hissing and dripping rage.
"No more, coward."

FOR YOU

Science!

This is better than our murder experiment!

>>38495976
We are 53 level below rank up, so definitly not.
I expect ~15 level from this, maybe a bit more.

Sheszka and Jin will get serious leveling up though.

Don't we get a major bonus to combat when fighting alongside someone? Because we would also be "protecting" them?

>>38496020
and we're currently protecting a whole town...

>>38495990
Yes, Nin, for your queen. Don't become Bane for your queen.

Speaking of which, I'm hoping she's spreading knockout dust everywhere. Maybe with a harpy helping her and making her more mobile.

>>38496020
We get a defensive bonus when protecting someone, I don't think charging through the lines for the alpha counts for that.
If we would fight close to the wall, we could claim to protect "the town" for massive bonus.

>>38496054

No bro, we were a Ruby Widow Arachne, they WERE the "First into Battle; Last to Leave" people of the Arachne army.

Charging into the thick of it, protecting our comrades that are right by us and far behind us, is what we are SUPPOSED to do.

>>38496042
Not really.
We aren't doing anything to keep the twon itself save, we have pretty much stopped paying attention to the wall to charge for the alpha.

We only might get bonus for Sheszka.

>>38496054
But aren't we going after the Alpha to protect the town, anon?

>>38496088
>>38496092
That doesn't change the fact that we don't get bonus if we aren't actually doing anything to defend the town, because town is currently at the mercy of all the other wolves.

>>38496112

It's almost a universal concept that taking down the leader / command structure does more damage to an army than out-and-out slaughtering it's soldiers.

Doubly so for fucking Werewolves, which act on a pack-based structure.

Take down the Alpha, the army breaks like fine china, even more so if we impale his body and hoist it into the air like a flag.

Test.

>>38496112
But...we are doing something to defend the town. We're attacking the Alpha. It's strategy. Break the leader, break the forces, yes?

>>38496151
hello

>>38496153
Me
>>38496146
Muh nigga

>>38495976
Its a real shame Nin can't be in this battle, she would definitly rank up from it.

>>38496112
We are doing something to protect the town though, defeating the alpha would reduce morale at worst and at best get them in full retreat mode, or make them consider us the new alpha.

>>38496151
captcha troubles for you too?

>>38496189
It seems to be fading in and out.

>>38496177
Greetings.

>>38496146
Its a strategically logical choice, but its still not a strategy that aims at keeping the town safe, because the town is still just as much at danger currently.

If we would throw ourselves between the bulk of the horde and the town to keep them away, then it would work.

I think its stretching the idea behind the blessing a bit too much.

>>38496217
So its not just my internet being wonky again? Damn you 4chan!

>>38496112
>aren't actually doing anything to defend the town

>Charging head-first into the enemy, drawing a major portion of the enemy forces' attention, going for a decapitations trike on enemy command.

This is basic strategy anon, Offense is a legitimate defense.

>>38496234
But anon, if we let the Alpha get away, he'd just come back at some other point with a larger force

We're protecting the town in the long run.

>>38496254
and we built a wall.

>>38496263
>We're protecting the town in the long run.
I don't think the blessing takes the long-run in account.

Its pretty clearly aimed at protecting people that are with you, not broad concepts of "protecting".

>>38496234

Allow me to put this into perspective.

There is a Demon Lord that Aims to Reign for Ten Thousand Years marching with his Legion of Peerless Horror onto the Capital City.

Which do you really fucking think the Demi-God of Protection would care about more, Us being a pawn-piece in perhaps stalling the fucking LEGION in one spot for an indeterminable amount of time, or Us spearing through his forces and aiming to rip his skull from his shoulders in the name of protecting the Kingdom/The People?

>>38496293
Maybe, but it's moot since we are directly protecting people in the here and now.

>>38496299
>, Us being a pawn-piece in perhaps stalling the fucking LEGION in one spot for an indeterminable amount of time
This one, he is the god of protection, not the god of intelligent strategic choices anon.

>>38496330
I think anon used the term "Legion" in the sense that it doesn't fucking matter if one spot stalls them, the rest of the tide will just go around.

>>38496299
I'd guess on what kind of person/deity the Demi-God of Protection is.

Maybe we'll get the chance to ask at some point.

>>38496330
>>38496299
>>38496293
How about instead of all of you making shit up for your argument, you just wait until after the thread and ask REQM who is literally the only one who could actually say if it counts or not?

Because currently all of you are just going
>MY OPINION IS BETTER THAN YOURS

>>38496369

I was basing my words on the Fluff REQM gave us for Ruby Arachne, which mentions that were a SHOCK and AWE unit that specialized in getting into the thick of it before anyone else and staying there longer than anyone else against his "It only counts if we act defensively"

>>38496348
I understood that, but again, the blessing would care about at what point the largest number of people are being directly protected.

Killing the demon lord might be better in the long run, but it isn't protecting the people who are in danger right that moment, because they still get slaughtered by the demon horde.

>>38496409
hay idiots why not just directly ask the guy whos basically the god of this setting hes right here >>38496217 REQM has finale say over what bonuses apply so just go off what he says and stop arguing.

>>38496395
And they definitly got bonuses for protecting the other fighters in the army, who where right behind them.
So they directly protected them with being in front of them.
There is nothing indicating they smashed into the enemy army and let the rest of the troops fend for themselves somewhere behind them.

Which is what we are currently doing.

>>38496464
We are drawing a VERY large portion of attention, and the direct attention of the command elements.

I don't think the Demi-God of Protection would be so anal as to have problems with this as long as we were fighting to protect someone else other than ourselves.

>>38496395
>which mentions that were a SHOCK and AWE unit that specialized in getting into the thick of it before anyone else
It doesn't actually say they were SHOCK and AWE.

Just that they were the first in the fight and last to leave, which could just as well, and I always assumed it did, mean they were the spearpoint or frontlines of the army.
Which usually still expected to stay there, and not rush into the enemy ranks on their own to scatter them.

More the front ranks of a Phalanx then a screaming horde.

>>38496507
>We are drawing a VERY large portion of attention
The rest of the discussion aside, I really find that a dubious claim.
We fought maybe some slightly less than a dozen wolves, assuming it were new ones each time.
We have really no idea how much of the army that is, except that the significant part of it is still throwing themselves at the wall.

>>38496541
"Spear points" of armies are designed to thrust deep into the enemy formation to cause chaos and stab at its heart. Its not a phalanx or a charge of madmen. Typically it was a cavalry charge consisting of many riders moving forward in an arrow formation. The only difference between that and what we are doing right now is that we are only one person. We don't have enough people for a proper wedge but being a spear point is all about stabbing through formations to get at cowardly leaders and break their lines.

>>38496658
>We don't have enough people for a proper wedge but being a spear point is all about stabbing through formations to get at cowardly leaders and break their lines.
Nah, thats not the point.

The point of a spear point is actually to drive the wedge deep into the enemy army to break it up.
Aiming at the leadership isn't actually the point, because the leadership was usually not in the army at all.
There is no sense in a spear point that doeasn't have a wedge behind it. Unless its supposed to scatter the frontline.
Which is what a cavarly charge did, but you wouldn't call a cavalry charge a spearpoint, because the cavalry was supposed to retreat after the successfull charge.

You dive in without a thought, Sheszka at your side, your spear gripped fiercely enough that you can feel the metal giving way.
The Alpha prowls straight at you, his companions splitting to circle you.
Or trying to.

Sheszka drives away the one on her side, spitting a gout of fire that ignites what pieces of grass remain.
And on your side, patience waning, you point your spear.

The wolf snarls to answer your supposed challenge- and is blasted back into the shadows by the bolt of lightning.

The Alpha charges, already starting to howl, his frame swelling up, matching yours- his shoulders low as he tries to barrel you over, straining to turn this into a mud fight.
His jaws snap low, catching an errant leg, your chitin grinding and creaking beneath his strength.

You answer in the easiest way possible.
Screaming fury and driving down with your fists, hammering blows into his skull with all the strength you can muster.
He tries to slide away from your assault, twisting his head, and your leg with it to escape.

Fury or not, injured or not- Your mother trained you.
With spears, with knives. With hands.

They aren't clean, but your attacks strike home, leaving the beast staggering, dazed as he tries to recoup his wits-
Sheszka shifts at the speed of though, a sweep of metal claws tearing bleeding furrows into his flank- and even as he turns, she's shifted again, four legs pulling her beyond his reach.

A scorched looking wolf- his companion- tries to chase her, but she spins, jaws snapping, warding away any attempt to close on her.

The alpha catches his feet, snarling as he takes a deep breath, chest swelling-

>Close on him! He wanted a mudfight, did he?!
>Match his strength. Hold his snout closed!
>Teach him why turning to a giant monster is not an advantage against a spear.
>Other (?)

>>38496715
>The point of a spear point is actually to drive the wedge deep into the enemy army to break it up.
Technically it was usually done because a wedge formation is a more advantegous position than a straight frontline.
Breaking up 'could' be done, but usually wasn't the intention.

I seriously have to wonder why people think wrestling is a good idea when we have spent a lot of effort to get 12/10 in spear fighting, whereas he is a werewolf who has never done anything but unarmed fighting.

Are people really that obsessed with suplexing their enemies?

And my gut tells me to go for the mud wrestling.
Though my rome total war mind tells me to retreat to the wall and cheese people out from it.

>>38496973
Because its a good chance to get better at wrestling, and it makes use of our advantages more than a spear does.
Which is super strength and our steel meltingly hot chitin.

>>38498072
Pretty sure he meant it in the sense of the saying "eating someone for breakfast".
Its not even time for breakfast.

>>38498093
Isn't it early in the morning at this point in the story? That's what I intended to mean.

You can take the eating bit however you like.

>>38498137
I'm fairly sure its in the middle of the night, actually.
Although it might be very early morning, depending on how you count that.
Its before sunrise, in any case.

>>38498080
But if the meat is dead, what use is it if you don't eat it?

Actively hunting sapient creatures for food being taboo I understand, but otherwise that's a lot of meat going to waste.

>>38498224
Anon please don't.
Leave for when we are above bumplimit.

>>38498249
All things we eat are sentient anon, you mean sapient.

>>38498269
derp yes you are correct

>>38498249
I'll just chalk that up to magic shenanigans.

No. That is enough.
You pounce forwards, covering ground faster than the wolf can draw air, slamming into him and driving him back, driving the air from his lungs as you seize the moment.

The Alpha is, if nothing else, a survivor.
He fights back tooth and nail and claw, shifting form to try and brak your grip, scratching and punching at every unarmoured inch you have.
And you fight back just as hard, clawing away, dancing your feet to try and pin him to the ground as you grapple.
He manages to grab your injured arm, his hands crushing into the wound, and you blink away tears of pain before holding him in place just long enough to smash your skull into his, staggering him again.

He stumbles back, half falling, looking up at you as you throw yourself at him again.
You can see yourself in his eyes- Hair a mess, eyes burning, trickling blood falling from wherever your heads collided. Lips pulled free of your fangs, brow furious. Like the wrath of gods.

You grapple him again as he throws himself towards to, frantically trying to keep clear of your legs. He shifts again, jaws snapping millimetres from your face as your arms wrap around him, claws digging in. You pull tight, throwing your head over his shoulder to keep his jaws at bay.

His paws scrabble at your chest plate, tearing, scoring the metal- and then your legs flex under the sudden weight as he starts to grow again, trying to crush your or tear his way free.
You hiss again as your arms tremble- and you lock your hands behind him, ignoring the pain, ignoring the pressure.

He's large enough that all you have is his head in seconds, legs braced and trying to tear free as you crush his throat. You can barely keep your feet as he pulls you upwards.
You yank back with all your strength, willing the earth to meet your limbs, willing your hands to burn with everything they have.
Fur smolders, reeking, and you finally clench your arms, muscles screaming-

>>38498371

And you wrench downwards and back, one smooth motion that echoes through the clearing with a deafening snap of bone.

>>38498391
>>38498371

The question was, did it make it stronger, or is the blessing only one strength and the only question is Active/Notactive?
