As for the issue of whether or not a user action can contain multiple parts, I concur with @Theory that if the rules don't specifically forbid it, we are not out of bounds. We are not at fault if it was a clarity error.

I also like Luffer's logic.

@Theory: Voltra's version of the character has its differences but I believe a similar idea could be in play.

According to Wiki, the Dutchess, in her first appearence is sitting angrily in her kitchen while the cook is stirring up clouds of pepper as he prepares a meal. She has a baby in her lab whom she explains she must constantly beat to keep it from sneezing.

In her second appearance, she's in the Queen's court and quite a bit more kindly leading Alce to believe it was the pepper to blame for her foul temper.

So I believe getting her out of the house could be beneficial.

@Godawful: I'm not an RPer or blind follower either.
I only get behind choices that I can make sense of.

@Static I am getting behind Siron's suggestion.

Did I do that right?


Posted in Ch. 9 The Duchess' Cottage Posted 6 years ago


I've googled the dutchess and I can see the differences Voltra has made.

In Carroll's novel, she's considered commentary on the Victorian era and lives by the motto: "Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it" perhaps Static can use that to distract her while he makes his escape.

@Siron: This actually sounds pretty good.
He should distract her somehow as he makes his escape so that she can't stop him. Perhaps throw an item from the room at her. Just to conk her on the head or something that will slow her down not injure her.

@Luffer Nutter: That's a smart idea.
Looking at my copy of the Carroll novel crossed my mind but Googling would be better.

@Dowan: Good to know.
Though now that I am realizing that my unfamiliarity with the dutchess character is quite a bit disadvantaging, I am considering just observing this game.

Can I withdraw my original vote?
I don't know the dutchess character but I am liking the messing with her and getting out with the cage focuses.


Posted in Ch. 9 The Duchess' Cottage Posted 6 years ago


Great, now I'm feeling insecure.
I don't know the dutchess character, so I'm a little disadvantaged. >_<

@Static: If I understood correctly, you shook her attack off and she doesn't realize it. You have the upper hand.

Attack!

@dragoness129: Good point, it could just be a scare tactic to really motivate us. After all, what would happen to the items associated with the proceeding games?

Posted in Ch. 9 The Duchess' Cottage Posted 6 years ago


@Vii: Exactly!
