Nooooo why'd you tell him

So the take-away message here is, don't use Leila?

Can't wait to see how this turns out :D. I'd have joined if I had seen the topic earlier.

For future reference, spoilers can be done as [spoiler] your text goes here [/spoiler] Also, this issue is mentioned in the bugs section of the OP. So you're ok. Her recruitment is a little buggy; sometimes she dies before the chapter even starts and you have to restart the rom.

I can assure you I certainly don't mind ugly palettes. I usually play with animations off anyway. Also, not to disparage your artistic abilities, but I liked Raven's original palette better; it suited his goth vibe: "I'm so angsty, no one understands me, EAT CRIT AND DIE MOTHERFUCKER!"

Priscilla's description is a little misleading; she has AT LEAST 50% across the board. Specifically, 80/60/50/50/50/50 for a total of 340. Dorcas, on the other hand, has 90/70/50/45/35/15 for a total of 305, and he's the best apparently. So I'd use Prissy, personally. I just didn't use her on my run because I wanted Jerme's map.

[spoiler=Is this a level or a glorified arena?] Go team! Curses! Why didn't Sonia tell him, when he was obviously going to win? Because that was so effective the first time. Bern's version of Bedlam. Hamlet (Rated R) Actually who am I kidding, the original would have been R anyway. 20 years later... IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB Oh. Someone actually agrees. That's scary. Don't call your sister a pest! That's just fucking creepy. Shame on you, Desmond. Zephiel be pimpin' Hidden romance, crouching dragon Hey, how'd you get up there! Vaida's handling bros...? Not sure what to make of this. REALLY KLOK Oh, baby. I'd take you to the castle on yonder mountain and... HURRAH MERLINUS PROMOTES Spoiler: I don't kill her, despite the fact that I have no intention of using her. Luna shaman, your days are numbered. Gonna sell this; Lyn and Eliwood are already promoted. Not bad. You've seen Pent's stats already. The crew: Hector, Lyn, Eliwood, Raven, Marcus, Dorcas, Bartre, Wil, Serra, Lucius, Lowen, Ninian, and Sain. Of course, I don't like you much either. Ninian dances Wil, and the luna shaman is no more. It should be noted that most of these pictures are either crits or levels. Except the luna shamans, almost every enemy here is promoted, and I'm getting a fuckton of exp. SPEED Lame. DEFENSE You still have another 26 levels to max out everything. As do you, provided I can find another ultimate seal. STRENGTH Oops. Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (3), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1) Same levels I think. I had placed Dorcas there previously to lure the berserker, but didn't realize Sain was in range too. This time, he's not, so Dorcas schools the berserker in the noble art of critting. To use on those legendaries when they show up, I suppose. More equine slaughter. My useless Lyn is useless no more! Well, you do need resistance. Incidentally, he capped defense. Gasp. Damn you're getting the right stats up (some resistance would be nice, but you can't have it all) More gasp. Ya know, I never realized that was the Uberspear. Bernard in Ch. 17 had one. Good thing I never stayed in his range :O Not bad. Jesus I wish you had these stats in vanilla. Good man Capped HP and defense! Also, more speed. Such thwomp. That's right, reinforcement druid. Lyn's arm leaves contrails. Dude, did everyone get a stimulant, or just Bartre? You can imagine what happened right after. I knew he was gonna steal something, so I had to take him out. You're doing fine. You're offense is pretty great, but that def and especially res could use some work. No speed :( Now you won't max speed anymore :( (Not that I was expecting it, but it'd have been nice.) That's S swords, incidentally. Yep, everyone took the stimulant. FUCK YOUR BRAVE LANCE *whistles approvingly* Capped strength. Speed is always nice. Caps speed and he capped strength earlier. WHAT HOW FUCK Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (3), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (5), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1) Speed! No speed! In fact, nothing! Ok that's better. He caps speed again. Well, you can use Hp, so I won't complain. Snipers with crit bonus are the best thing ever. No speed...but got luck. I'm ok with this. Defense! :D Damn you're soon level 20. More tank. More mage tank...you're awesome. Gonna cap strength soon probably Caps strength again. Holy shit, resistance. Not terribly exciting, but you're an awesome mage tank as well. This is what's left on the last turn. I savestate here. Important. Ditto. ...Oops...he got critted by an armourslayer. Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (4), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (3), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (5), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1) Even better. Speed AND luck? End of EP. Only Vaida is left. CAN'T TOUCH THIS! Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (4), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (3), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (5), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

[spoiler='I think, therefore I stab - Pascal'] Damn that's some speedy and well-done plastic surgery. What could possibly go wrong? And presumably half of his army dies of malaria. NO NOT THE HORSES ...Ew. Forgot to show him off last time. PROMOTION TIME The goods. Kind of scanty. The crew: Raven, Lucius, Lowen, Hector, Serra, Marcus, Bartre, Sain, Wil, Ninian, and Lyn. End of turn 1 Lucius is baiting some pirates across the river, while Hector and Lowen have taken out a pegasus knight and a pirate, respectively. Lyn's headed east to deal with monks and pirate reinforcements. Serra's going southwest to capture the fortress. The enemy hitrates are kind of pathetic. Also Raven gets a great level and S light. Pirate: "What happened, mate? You look as white as a sheet!" Yay free halberd (I bought 2 last map). Could have been nasty. Suck it, pirates. -looks around- Oh, there's none left. C'mere lovely. That resistance...they'd make a great pair, but I'm not using her this run. He capped magic and skill; wonder if he'll cap resistance or speed. The former, maybe. No speed :(. I hope there's no 30 speed enemies I need to steal from later, cause I'm gonna be SOL. Ballistas are mildly annoying, so I shall remove their users. i was half-tempted to not get her, but then I felt compelled to. I mean, I'm not using her, and she doesn't have amazing gear...so...oh well YES YES Jesus, look at those monks. And the best part is, once Lyn goes on a peak, they have 0 hit. All I have to worry about is running out of axes. *blinks* DAYUUUUUUUUU- It's strength. Strength is good. I noticed that Blade Lord has 7 movement instead of 6. I approve. EDIT: Wow also S rank in both bows and swords! Meh. Lowen lures Pascal to the south. Glad to see you shook off your earlier leveling lethargy. Thank you, Blaise. I cannot get over how tanky this Raven is. I just can't. It probably won't matter much later, but for now he's getting tinked like there's no tomorrow. Defense would be nice, but the best defense is a good offense, so that works. I was kind of speeding through this part and then I suddenly noticed that Lyn got triangle attacked. I didn't know enemy pegasi could do that. That last speed level is tantalizing me, lol. I suddenly noticed he has both S lances and swords. Duradel, Regal Blade, AND Rex Hasta? Yes please. Nice. Equine slaughter, indeed. I feel this chapter was kind of a pushover. I'm sure the next ones will more than make up for it, thought. Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

[spoiler=Hair of the Mad Dog (Part 2)] COME TO ME Yep, that's Lowen getting critted. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. A little close for comfort... Fuck you, mate. You too. SPEED! I always find it amusing when Wo Dao-wielding myrmidons get critted. 71 crit...Jesus, imagine what he could do with full supports (I don't actually know if it would do anything, but it'd be cool nonetheless) I should mention that I'm not doing supports this run just to see if it's possible without them. Lowen-Marcus, Eliwood-Hector, and Dorcas-Bartre would be ready to go otherwise. You're doing me proud, man. WHAT THE FUCK LINUS MOVES WHAT IS THIS SHIT *reset* Still speed <3 Mage tank You need resistance too, so good for ya. Dragon axe best axe. Wielding it gives good levels. HERESY Sain's in luna range, so Merlinus rescues him Oops. So was she. But the sorceress missed. Isn't it kind of sad that despite getting a speedwing, his resistance is still higher than his speed? DEFENSE OH GOD YES I was gonna be so mad if she got hit there. I think that's the first time she's dodged since I got her. Having learned that Linus moves, I have to lure the heroes away from him... ..and then rescue whoever kills them. The other hero has something I want, so he's going to be a little more annoying. Can you get some strength please? Lucky Bartre. Defense is nice. You really want me to use you, don't you. Jesus, Dart almost got 1 hit. He was supposed to chip for Sain (or somebody), but, like Eliwood, he doesn't understand chipping. Oh well. Eh. Oh come on, really? Time for you to evolve. Speed Bartre is good Bartre And strength Lyn is good Lyn. The new and improved Sex panzer. I've always loved the druid/sorcerer's flowing sleeves. Gonna cap HP soon! It's speed, which you do need, although I wish you'd get some defense too. Sain starts off his career with a crit. Ok. Probably will cap resistance. Ultimate mage tank. I didn't realize I left him in luna range, with a steel sword equipped. Oops. RESET Burned some RNs. Better. No speed :( Speed! 1 point from capping speed! God you never were this tanky before. Then again, that might be because I never got to promote you early. No don't do this to me This is all that's left: Linus, hero with energy ring, druid with speedwing, peg with blue gem, and peg with nothing. YOINK Geitz lures Linus away from the other hero so that I can lure it over. Whatever, you still can't dodge. Lowen kills the hero, Dorcas kills the sage and gets a Bolting, and Marcus rescues the latter back from luna range. First strength proc, I think, since you promoted. Good job. You have no idea how satisfying that is. SHOPPING TIME. I forgot to make room in Merlinus, so there's alot of item juggling and whatnot. Sell some promotion items I'm not going to use. Marcus eats a dracoshield and a goddess icon, Dorcas eats an icon, Hector gets a speedwing, and Lowen gets an icon. Still have like 7 left (someone I'm not using has an inventory full, and I'm not sure whether to use or sell). Lyn kills Linus. I have no words. BITE THE PILLOW, HE'S GOIN' IN DRY! Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1) @Klok you're right, that's one of the pics that got overwritten. I'll screeny for next time. Also here's a teaser for the next chapter

[spoiler=Hair of the Mad Dog (Part 1)] Unfortunately, quite a few of the pictures I took in the beginning got overwritten (I'm not sure how). The most amusing one was a conversation between Eliwood and Ninian, which went something like this. Scenario: Lyn teases Hector and runs off. Hector runs after her. Eliwood grumbles. Ninian laughs and chides him for grumbling, blah blah. Eliwood: I like the sound of your laughter. Ninian: The fuck you say? (This is where I nearly spit out my drink) Eliwood: Oh nothing. Let's go! Will screencap on my next run. The goods. There's another goddess icon and a Mani Katti (both drops) that I somehow didn't get a pic of. The FUCKING BASTARD . Has goodies so I can't just take it out. Originally was level 15 with 30 magic, which was slightly unfair, but Klok's second patch nerfed it down to level 5 with 22 magic. Canas is officially benched. I can finally promote these guys. Lyn will follow soon. Mine, of course. COME TO PAPA Nice way to start things off. Initial plan: Send Lowen north to loot the villages while the rest head east, recruiting Geitz and taking out some annoying pirates and wyverns. Lowen starts chipping the silver sword hero. This was supposed to be a chip for Sain, but whatever. I love Fimbulvetr. Axereaver crits. My god. So OP. End of turn 1. I don't have a picture of the crew for some reason. Lowen, Lyn, Sain, Serra, Wil, Hector, Ninian, Dorcas, Dart, Eliwood and Marcus. A solid team. Or so I hope. Geitz lazily ambles over and starts trying to hit Dart. Thankfully, I parked him on a forest for this very reason and he misses both shots. That was kind of done on purpose; Eliwood's in range of wyverns and I wanted to minimize the number of things he has to dodge. He dodges the first wyvern and gets a decent level. Chip? What chip? Eliwood/Lucius clone tries and fails. Oh hi, Nino! I'll be recruiting you later. JUKEBOX HERO is no longer among us. Wil avenges Marcus and gets a shoddy level. Defense is always nice, especially since you can't seem to dodge jack shit. She played for Dart so that... ...He can recruit Geitz. Eliwood :( End of turn 2. Lowen's winging his way north and Geitz is going east to loot the Earth Seal. I realized I can just let the pirates come to me, rather than go to them and then wander 'round the map to Linus. You didn't dodge that? You suck. Forget Blazing Sword; Blazing Arrow is where it's at. 1/2 Aha! Probably going to Serra. Eliwood chips and Sain finishes. Speed is good. Speed is great. You're going to poison someone, so I shall take you out. Looool, brave axe does 4 hits of 1s. The luna shaman's day of reckoning is coming... Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1) Wil gets a nicer level, Eliwood gets the same. Lyn gets an energy ring I forgot to give her earlier. Slightly different setup. End of T2. Hooray she dodged! Lowen is not fooled by your Blur Fu. I assume royal got changed to retard. Zephiel: What a bro. That's what I really came for, not your scintillating conversation, old man. Not as nice as the previous one, but still speed. Oh that's better. Bartre steals the robe again. Yeah you need HP bad. Wil confirmed Grim Reaper. Now who will die? No one, apparently. I decided to have Lowen loot the top village first. 1/2 down. You can't see it, but Lyn's blowing a raspberry here. Good...good. I think Lowen capped speed last level-up, by the way. On EP, the brave lance misses both shots. Lowen doesn't. Ditto. It's nice to have them, but I won't use either of the extras on this run. 2/2. Time to GTFO. Marcus to the rescue. I also notice that Eliwood got S anima at some point. Excalibur, here I come. End of turn 4 (I think). I had wield an axe to destroy wyverns...forgot about that knight. But it turns out not to matter. Serra tied for lead once again! Character deaths: Serra (5), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1) A slightly different setup. Marcus gets the same level as before. Dart is there to lure the axereaver knight. Axereaver knight not lured. No matter. I have Ninian. Perfectly executed. I love this rescue staff. Looking good, buddy. Maybe I can promote you this run (all these level 20 enemies are giving mad xp) Gotta get that axe rank up. With that defense, brave swords mean nothing to Sain. Hmm...I savestate here. Our ballistician snipes a wyvern. Stimulant is paying off, I see. Maybe you need one too. I never get tired of seeing Wil crit. It's so cool. And he's so speedy! Right, let's see how this works out. I'm out of Luna range, I hope. But not out of silver sword range, apparently. Serra takes the lead! Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1) Ok let's take out the biggest menace first. Hector gets the same level from sniping. YOU DOUCHENOZZLE Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1) Since I see no good way out of this situation, I revert to an earlier save. Still nice. Even if it's not speed. Ok let's see how this goes... Good! Not good! Better than last time! Er...well, I'll take it.

It's not just the level that's the problem. Check my LP later, assuming I manage to beat it tonight. Just starting now.

Thanks Klok. This'll keep me busy for the rest of the night :D EDIT: That sorcerer. That fucking sorcerer. I hate you so much right now, you don't even know.

That's the whole point. I'm trying to get Bartre installed as Chaos Mode Assassin Supreme.

Bartre has a 105% Hp growth.

Er. Hm. Fine, make it based on current HP.

Make ability to steal be based on strength level, not speed.

[spoiler=Kishuna speaks] Yeah, right. Like I'm gonna believe that. I genuinely feel sorry for this guy. You, on the other hand, not so much. If this had a castle background, I could almost imagine Pent as Hector's butler. DAMNIT HECTOR DID YOU LEAVE THE RANGE ON AGAIN Ruh roh. THAT'S MY BOY WANT AND THIS TIME, NO STUPID AI WILL PREVENT ME FROM GETTING IT Since I forgot to show it last time (I took a pic but apparently it didn't upload?) Man, Kishuna can build walls out of nothing. Limstella and the rest got nothing on that. Er. I think you might be in for a surprise. All 14 of it, sure. THE KREW. End of turn 1. NEENER NEENER-awww. Fortunately, I remembered to give Marcus the restore staff. Lucius and the druid miss each other, so Dorcas steps in. Walls stand no chance against Lowen's fury. Caps strength. Not bad, Wil's revenge comes in technicolor. MINE! On EP, hand-axe attacks Wil. Unfortunately for him, Wil still has the axereaver equipped. One steel lance to the face later... VERY NICE Par for the course. Lucius missed one. Oh well. That actually hit. This will be a problem further down the line. Lucius misses both this time, so Hawkeye has to step in. Lowen needs no help in the noble art of throwing pointed sticks at other people. I think that's the last Luna druid. Whew. Nice level, too. This marks the end of PP. Normally, this would not be a problem. However, Marcus is silenced and Ninian's not exactly close by. Also, Wil has an axereaver, which means he can pretty much take out anyone on the map. I hope he goes for Merlinus (not really) The situation. Kishuna just left and things look grim. On the western side of the map, Dorcas does things with swords. Berserk!Wil goes for an easy target (dumbass could have hit with steel lance and save the axereaver, but nooooooooooo) Meanwhile, Dorcas shows everyone how to dodge. Marcus clop-clops over to Ninian, who restores him... And he promptly puts his new-found magic to good use. More axereaver shenanigans from our Angry Dragoon. Angry Dragoon is now my new band name, incidentally. And he levels up from that. A nice one, too. HALLELUJAH PRAISE NINIAN Oh! Lucius is tanking the northwestern reinforcements... ...and Merlinus, the east. Dragoon face-off. Wil wins, later. Not sure where these are gonna be useful, but ok. The swordmaster in the middle with the light brand has really high crit. So Wil comes appropriately prepared. Lucius' final level. I think he needs the angelic robe from Isadora if he's going to endgame. Probably going to Hector. Outdated draconian essence? Is this your text, Klok? Well, that was exciting. Wil gets the same level 3 times in a row. It's...ya know...a doohickeymabob. HAWKEYE KNOWS SOMETHING THAT HE'S NOT TELLING US Not this shit again. SWORDMASTER SUPREME By day, a quiet, demure woman. By night, she transforms into She-Hulk. With an axe. Or even multiple axes. Cecilia should learn from this guy. No idea who to use this on. HE'S DEAD HORATIO I love this scene. Eleanora privately praying to her deceased husband, her eyes downcast, and then suddenly...from beyond the grave... "Bitch..." yeah, I'd probably react like that too. Eliwood hasn't learned the first lesson: Never apologize to your bitch(es). And once more, for good measure. Because, generally speaking, you don't. I gotta say, this was probably the easiest chapter in the whole hack. Probably even easier than in vanilla FE with the addition of siege swords and axereavers. But I'm sure it'll be more than made up for in the future.

[spoiler=In the night... ] Come to me! You know I want Your touch of This chapter's called Sandy Secrets or something; I don't have a pic for some reason. Decided to give Lowen the boots specifically so he can rescue Pent on this map without requiring Ninian. See, I thought Klok was kind and removed fog for this map, because there wasn't any when I was on the select screen. It was only after I actually started that the fog came, and I went from :D to :( in .6 seconds. So that's why I have pics of the goods. See? Pictured are Lowen, Canas, Hector, Wil, Raven, Heath, Ninian, Legault, Marcus, Rath, and Sain. The past being last chapter? I don't remember seeing you before. And...voila! Well. Damn. You sure will steal all my xp this run. Raven starts things off with a crit and a promo item for Eliwood, when I can actually promote him. Good man. Everything about Wil is awesome: his sprite, his animations, his crit bonus... Wait. I just realized. Swordmasters and beserkers are actually dangerous now. *gulp* Much like Lowen and Wil, Paul doesn't care about WTA as well. Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (3), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1) Raven goes west alone this time. Canas wisely stays out of Paul range. Sain heads north, ORKOs a knight, and gets A dark magic. That's a pretty cool picture, actually. Lowen rescues XP hog. Wil prepares to lure Paul so Canas can steal the ocean seal off of him. I don't have any armors (Guy's pretty much benched at this point; his movement's just too bad), but I still don't like hammer users. The setup. Ow, whew, and DAMNIT CANAS, in that order. Aww...you had a great streak going there! Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (4), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1) The new setup. To sum up alot of misses and dodges and unfortunate hits, this is the end result. Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (4), Sain (3), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1) Heath uses the torch staff and gets a UTTERLY FANTASTIC level. COME ON GUYS GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER THAT MEANS YOU TOO LEGAULT. WHY DID I EVEN BRING YOU? Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (4), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1) LIGHTNING IN THE DAAAAARK Slightly better...I'm still not using you this run. Sorry. OK. Let's see if this works. i don't know why, but I reset for some reason. I think I might have messed up rather than have someone die. Either way, Heath combines his previous level ups for something somewhat less satisfying. Good job, you guys! He got shit on by 2 wyverns, but he's got insane defense for a mage and tanked it well. TURN 2: SAVESTATE. ENTER HAWKEYE. RECRUIT HAWKEYE USE HAWKEYE Raven for MVP Speaking of MVP, how do I promote Serra/Lucius/Rath? Are Heaven seals still a thing? Heath heals Sain, who goes off huntin' and gets a nice level and a fancy dildo icon. Rath doesn't understand how to chip. End turn 2. Let's see who dies. Marcus had a few OSHI- moments, but he pulls through. Turn 3: SAVESTATE. Normally I have Hawkeye hold on to Pent, but I need him to do things, and besides he doesn't have the necessary con. So Merlinus gets to hold him. Not too shabby. SEX PANZER gets the exact same level. Nice. What are you gonna cap before I promote you? Jesus. Canas gets this nice level on EP. WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM Wil attempts to fly and falls off his broom lance. Raven still doesn't believe in overkill. Nor does Lowen. STILL NOT USING YOU GO AWAY You, on the other hand...<3 YEAH FUCK YOU TOO Lol Merlinus gets it. That reminds me, I need to pull it out of his inventory. FUCK YOU IN THE ASS WITH A RED-HOT POKER Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1) Some levelups; some better than others. Oh hello! Raven's probably getting this one. And Lyn's getting this. The only other person I can think of who would need it is Canas, and he's getting benched after this most likely. I only brought him because I need a thief for the desert items. Speaking of which, is there a way you can change that Klok, or is that hardcoded? I accidentally lured Jasmine...RAVEN PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM I NEED HIS BLUE GEM Cap strength, defense, skill, and GAINS SPEED HOLY CRAP THWOMP PANZER OK now you can kill him. I gave the kill to Lowen with no regrets. God mode indeed. Got a fenrir as well. I think that's everything. I hope so; I wasn't going to spend the whole afternoon searching every square. Sain kills the luna shaman (who thankfully has run out of charges by now) to finish the chapter. You also helped me out, by STAYING THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY *Points at Fimbulvetr* THIS ONE DOES! Oh Hector. So naive. Of course. Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1) @Klok: Do you want me to send you the save file after I finish 23x, or do you already have one for Geitz's chapter (and as far as I can tell, Jerme's PFOD)?

I died.

Gilliam as General/Great Knight and Franz as Great Knight seem to be your only choices; I dunno whether Franz could double with Garm, but I'd give it to him. Just use steel axes exclusively.

[spoiler=Let the booties hit the floor (Part 2)] Marcus takes out the trash. Can you please get strength once... Raven doesn't like axereavers, a sentiment I can share. Oh, quite nice. 2 steel swords hit, and then the luna shaman doubled him. DOUBLED. BY A SHAMAN. (Yes, he was still carrying that bloody general; it's all his fault). Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (2), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1) Same level, I think. 15% def growth. 40% str growth. I forget her bases, but they're the same level now (she ate an energy ring last chapter). with 70+ growths across the board, except mag/skill, you're guaranteed to be a good dodger. I don't remember if I dropped the general off or never picked him up the in the first place, but either way, Marcus isn't ferrying anyone atm. He gets B light, I think. Who's mad? S swords. I was gonna give him axes, but it's too late now. THWOMPVEN (jesus, that defense) Marcus not being an appealing target anymore, the luna mage goes after Isadora. I'm gonna have to do something about it. He missed. There were originally 2, but Hector and Ninian took out 1 with a ballista. It was beautiful. Lowen's holding the choke very nicely there. And so's Raven (A light, I'm gonna get him S rank and give Eliwood S anima since he has higher con+body ring). PRAISE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER FUCK YOUR REAVERS I can't get over how useful these guys are. Can I pack them up and take them with me for the rest of this run? Just noticed Rath's units all have poison weapons. Body ring? Check. Lockpick? Check. Ok, you can die now. YAY SPEED. After seeing what happened to his pal Dorcas, Raven isn't taking any chances when it comes to brave lance wielders. I almost forgot to recruit him, lol. Your offense is seriously amazing. Fuck off, aura users. And you too, for good measure. I think that was a crit, which I really wanted. Hector gets doubled by Luna mage. This is the last straw. Keep going :D. I cannot wait until you become an Archsage. Overkill? Nah. Also, how is it that despite being promoted, he's getting more xp/kill than my nonpromotes? Does it go by level, and then promoted units get half, or something? K MATE NOW YOU DIE Both of them crit. Way to go, green guys! Lowen kills the druid and gets a great level. Operation Yoink successfully completed. GO AWAY BRAVE LANCER Good last level. Capped speed, great defense and str...I think I'm gonna like using you. The situation. 1 knight, armed with a steel sword, vs a horde of angry units, pretty much all of which can ORKO (or even OHKO). Marcus heals Hector. DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON (He also gets S lances) (HOLY SHIT 56 CRIT WITH A SLIM LANCE) You will make an awesome bishop. More overkill (I never get tired of seeing Raven crit; it's alot more obvious than it used to be too, so I can actually take a picture where you can SEE it's a crit, rather than me having to tell you) Well...you're probably gonna cap HP before promotion. I wonder what archsage caps are? (This is rhetorical, I can check if/when i want to). Oh, hello. (He misses). NPCs are in critapalooza or something. Are they secretly wielding killer lances or something? MONEY Couldn't OHKO with lightning, didn't want to take a chance with stepping off the forest tile to get out of range, so thunder it is. Chipping. Rath for perfect bait, despite the fact that he could probably double (and kill) Hector in the ballista. You will probably cap HP and def too...but maybe not speed. Which is unfortunate, since Canas is significantly less durable than you. Dorcas discovers that E does in fact equal mc^2, and proves it. Wil gets his first kill as a Dragoon (LOOK AT THAT CRIT OMG, NO SUPPORTS AND 5% FROM IRON LANCE) Oops I lied earlier. Raven gets A light rank now from chipping Eubans. And Legault's imposter is slain. Not sure who those boots are gonna go to...any ideas? Speaking of movement, I only noticed now that Ninian has 6 move (up from 5) and assassins have 7 movement (up from 6). I approve this modification. Older senpai has no faint in younger senpai. If by aid he means two gay desert bandits, then yes. He would be correct. Then again, LORD PENT! Is this pick-on-Hector-day? First Lyn, now Uther. FORESHADOWING I detect sarcasm. Too late, he already has. 3 times, if I remember correctly. WHAT SAY YOU NOW, MOST HONORED ELDER SENPAI? Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (2), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1)

[spoiler='Let the booties hit the floor (Part 1)] "Hey Hector, remember that one time when you were drunk and-" e^i*hector's emotions = cos(hector's emotions) + I*sin(hector's emotions). Such complexity. Such beauty. YOU'RE NOT MY BOSS, YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO-boots, you say? THE FANGS. And Sonia. Ruh roh. SHOTS FIRED I die Horatio... NOT THE SENPAI Ok, we can do that. What could possibly happen in 1 night? Oh. Right. But but but...Darin's a card-carrying member of the Fucktard Squad! Heath doesn't want to kill nippleren. Despite the fact that he can't kill anything at the moment. You don't say. At least the NPCs look somewhat useful this time. Oh, really? Pretty decent stats there...wait. WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO GIVE HIM BOTH AN AXEREAVER AND A STEEL SWORD? Thank god he's not in the same spot that he is in EHM. WHY DOES EVERY LUNA MAGE CARRY SOMETHING GOOD? That is a rhetorical question, incidentally. Hm. You have the potential to be very annoying. At least you can't fight. Oh cool, I get one for myself. Is this still useless? If I was using her, she'd get that robe right away. For a level 16 mage, that's downright embarrassing. That's more like it, Savior of Nippleren. THE CREW: Eliwood, Lyn, and Hector are forced, obviously. Lowen, Dorcas, Ninian, Sain, Wil, Bartre, Marcus and Raven round out the group. End of turn 1. Someone will most likely die. i was right. And then I was even righter. Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (2), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (2), Sain (2), Hector (2), Guy (2), Dorcas (3), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1) Let's try this again. Aww. But Isadora didn't die this time... Wait why is she getting healed? What? How's she getting healed at full hp!? These guys can actually take some damage. Awfully nice of you, Klok. Oh goody. Not bad. Probably have to use him. 42 Hp, though. That's really nice. Crits all over the place, man. Thanks? Marcus gonna solo like a bro. I really don't like brave lances. Or poison swords. Damnit Heath, stop fraternizing with the enemy. Uh oh. Ffs stop. If he had doubled, she'd be dead now. STOP HITTING MARCUS I NEED HIM Whew. Wait...you guys actually do something useful too? HOLY CRAP STOP THE PRESSES Thanks mate. Heath get. First time Sain uses Nosferatu. Not a great level. Raven heals Marcus and gets a lame level. I think someone critted here? I have absolutely no idea what's going on. FUCK YOUR AXEREAVERS Should have given him the iron rune -.- Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (2), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (2), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (3), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1) I realized I had no anti-horse/armor weapons, so I switch out Sain for Lucius. Sain will probably be more useful next chapter, anyway. What swordreaver? I decide to rescue the cleric that gets attack by a steel bow nomad and silver spear paladin in hopes of protecting her. I also make Merlinus pick up Nils to see whether that's a game over or not. (It's not) That was a crit too. Very amusing. Both of those hit, which is kind of annoying. DAMNIT DORCAS Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (2), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (2), Sain (2), Hector (3), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1) I think I switched some guys around. Lowen can tank better than Dorcas, so I send him instead. Get rid of this chump (it was a crit) Will I survive this time? Lowen gives no fucks. Thankfully doesn't get doubled; free healing is always nice. Seriously, why (and more importantly, how) are you doing this? Significantly more useful. You're going to promote this chapter, I can feel it. Ew. Then again, you're pretty good so far. Get the Eclipse again. Cap skill and strength next level? Jesus so many reinforcements. He was 3 xp off, and is plugging the east door. Gets attacked 3 times. Perfect. Thanks babes NO! Fortunately, he left it at 2 hp. Heath also gets recruited again, this time by Eliwood. I kinda want to steal the lockpick as well, so I have Marcus cart off the general (the thief will loot a chest and be out of range before that other general can attack). DORCAV EVOLVED INTO DORPAL! Exactly as planned. Not exactly as planned. You're still amazing. I think this is start of PP. I savestate and get this nice level; the last that Eliwood will get for a while. Excellent.

Naw man, you gotta go Ranger Gerik.

Well, you did tell me to replay it, and I am nothing if not your obedient servant. Exceptions may apply. Besides, it gave me an opportunity to buy more things.
