00:14 <Cepheid> And there's my stronger cannon. o3o
00:21 <Schism> Hm, gotta get MCH to 60 before I can equip the GARO gear. And other classes to 60, as well. I suppose I've put that off for a long while...
00:22 <Cepheid> I have no idea how I am meant to get to that place...
00:23 <Cepheid> Oh, I see.
00:24 <Cepheid> ... Oh no.
00:24 <Cepheid> I just unlocked the Three Dragons.
00:25 <LunaNightwind> Im gonna beat my fiance LOL
00:25 <LunaNightwind> he just spent 30 bucks to buy 500 random magic cards
00:25 <LunaNightwind> 100 of them being lands LOL
00:25 <Cepheid> Could be worse.
00:26 <Schism> Well, that's your standard stuff, really.
00:26 <LunaNightwind> im just hoping he gets some good pulls
00:26 <LunaNightwind> was an ebay auction or something
00:27 <LunaNightwind> its not the fact that he did it its his timing of doing it we need to pay for our wedding cake and stuff still
00:27 <Ali> LunaNightwind, 100 foil basic lands!
00:27 <Ali> Or Oasis!
00:27 <LunaNightwind> LOL
00:28 <Ali> You'll probably end up with crappy common dual lands
00:28 <LunaNightwind> 100 foil swamps LOL
00:28 <Ali> WORTH IT.JPG
00:28 <LunaNightwind> im just hoping he pulls a walker or something solid
00:28 <Schism> Hey, maybe you'll get some Un* lands.
00:28 <Ali> If its a manland LunaNightwind, it'll be a weak one
00:29 <Ali> Unlands are some pretty good ones
00:29 <Ali> average about 7 bucks a land
00:29 <Ali> But it'll end up something like hissing quagmire as the manland
00:29 <Ali> Maybe creeping tarpit
00:30 <Ali> Maybe the scry lands
00:30 <Ali> But if its a fetch land or a shock, I'd be shocked
00:30 * Ali flops into LunaNightwind and Schism
00:31 <LunaNightwind> blah
00:33 <Ali> So expect about 20-25 buck value in return
00:33 <Ali> Oh, only 100 are lands
00:33 <LunaNightwind> yeah
00:33 <Ali> Yup, you're gonna get dollar rares and mythics
00:34 <LunaNightwind> eh if he can build a usable deck i guess ill be happy
00:34 <Ali> Define usable
00:34 * Ali has been back in magic since Dominaria
00:34 <LunaNightwind> Needs to be Mana Burn!
00:35 <LunaNightwind> ive been in magic since about 15 years ago
00:35 * Ali shakes hoof at
00:35 <Ali> I started the paper version in Shards block
00:35 <LunaNightwind> like my first booster was from the joke set with the BFM cuz i had BFM Left
00:35 <Cepheid> Aaaand voila. Mapped the rest of the seas. First time I've done this I think.
00:35 <Ali> Unglued
00:35 <LunaNightwind> yeah
00:36 <Ali> Good old Chaos Confetti
00:36 <LunaNightwind> my buddy had 2 white boarder Black Lotus cards I know he sold those for a pretty penny
00:36 <LunaNightwind> he got into it early
00:36 <Ali> I've never been able to touch a power nine
00:36 <LunaNightwind> being fair my buddy shouldnt have been able to either
00:37 <Ali> Hell I think my most expensive magic card is Sliver Queen
00:37 <LunaNightwind> he was just doing bad things when gamestop was still babbages and they had their magic cards just sitting on a shelf
00:37 <Ali> Five fingered them huh?
00:37 <LunaNightwind> over 40 booster boxes \
00:37 <Ali> ...
00:37 <LunaNightwind> over the span of about 5 months \
00:38 <LunaNightwind> never said my friends were a good influance on me

00:38 <LunaNightwind> he did agree to wear a dress though so thats cool
00:40 * Ali flops over LunaNightwind
00:40 <LunaNightwind> yeah but back when i started I used to run a Black Red mana burn deck
00:40 <Ali> Rakdos
00:40 <LunaNightwind> to my knowledge that entire consept is illegal now
00:40 <Cepheid> Okay, I am now at loss for what to do. That damned Eldest One won't acknowledge me, and I am unable to do anything with this starry shard

00:40 <Cepheid> Am I supposed to bring it somewhere..?
00:40 <Ali> LunaNightwind, yes, mana burn is no longer a thing
00:41 * LunaNightwind sad ponies
00:41 <Ali> So no more mana flare deathing a player
00:41 <LunaNightwind> yep that was pretty much my entire deck LOL
00:41 <LunaNightwind> people hated me at hammers comics when that still existed around here
00:42 <LunaNightwind> best TCG card i ever pulled wasnt even in magic
00:42 <LunaNightwind> for me personally my best was a 1st ed charizard LOL
00:42 * Ali ouch
00:42 <LunaNightwind> i was young didnt know what i had and the card was treated like crap
00:42 <Ali> I think my Espeon star and Umbreon star
00:43 <Ali> Are my most expensive cards
00:43 <LunaNightwind> being fair ive not really bought anything TCG related in like 10 years
00:43 <LunaNightwind> i havent had a reason to with all my mental problems i wasnt going any where
00:44 * Ali nod nods
00:44 <LunaNightwind> and now im getting ready to go to new york
00:44 * LunaNightwind spazzes out with stress
00:45 <LunaNightwind> i swear mentally im about as stable as twilight in lesson zero right now
00:46 <Cepheid> Deli- ... Oh, those. Okay, so they're related to the dragons? Better go check 'em out.
00:52 <LunaNightwind> ...im cleaning my bedroom and i just found Turok 2 for the N64 sitting in a box in my room, like i havent owned an n64 in like 10 years
00:52 <Schism> Oh dear. Cursed game.
00:52 <LunaNightwind> wouldnt surprise me my fiance has like 6 haunted dolls in the bedroom
00:52 <Reiko> . . .
00:52 * Cepheid pulls out three stones which sealed an ancient red dragon.
00:53 <LunaNightwind> gonna get an N64 and boot it up and its gonna be like a creepy pasta or something lol
00:53 * Cepheid throws Schism at the dragon.
00:53 * Schism attempts to fish up an Olgoi-Khorkoi.
00:54 <Cepheid> Still haven't got a clue on what to do post-talking-to-Eldest-One.
00:56 * Cepheid goes to say hi to the Red Dragon.
00:56 <Schism> Square, I know you don't want every Mi'qote out there to be wearing a coeurlskin bikini, but can you make this fish maybe a little easier to dredge up? Sheesh.
00:57 * Schism catches 10 caravan eels.
00:57 <Cepheid> Yeah, dragon ate me.
00:57 <Schism> Clearly, you're on the right track.
00:58 <Cepheid> Gonna want heavy confusion resist, heavy fire resist.
00:58 <Cepheid> No.
00:58 <Cepheid> This is unrelated to the true ending.
00:58 <Cepheid> I'd remember fighting one of the dragons.
00:58 <Schism> Oh, heh.
00:58 <Cepheid> It has to do with the Starry Shard I have.
00:58 <LunaNightwind> final fantasy 8 remastered is looking very pretty from what they have shown off
00:58 <Cepheid> I suspect I have to bring it somewhere.
00:59 * Schism plays an Imperials deck against LunaNightwind.
00:59 <Lumindia> well I just nearly tore my screen door open

00:59 <PinkieShy> My dog.. :(
00:59 <PinkieShy> Got aloose twice today even paid $30 for a harness and he got out of that..
00:59 <Schism> Ouch, been there, Lumin.

01:01 <PinkieShy> I'm so scared todd will get loose and get hit by a car and I'll lose my BFF.. I don't want to lose my friend :(
01:09 <Cepheid> Ice Dragon is in the fifth stratum
01:10 <Cepheid> Which raises questions, given the stratum is locked to anyone who doesn't have a royal seal, so how a dragon slayer can get in..
01:13 <Cepheid> Gonna try something risky, regarding the True Ending.
01:13 <Cepheid> I've talked to the Eldest One, he refuses to talk to me now, so let's accept the next mission, and go to the bottom of the fifth stratum. I won't fight the final boss. Just make it to the doorway.
01:14 * Schism catches two Olgoi-Khorkoi. Breaks them down. Gets two Waterproof Cotton Cloth. "...well."
01:16 <Cepheid> My kingdom for fast-moving.
01:21 <Cepheid> Two floors down, two to go.
01:23 <Cepheid> Last floor.
01:25 * Schism could sell this waterproof cotton cloth, but instead decides to make the other parts of this coeurlfur bikini.
01:26 <Cepheid> "Nighty stood there and spent an hour doing nothing." I still imagine her just staring into space for an hour, and the rest of the guild trying to get her attention.
01:29 <Cepheid> There. Made it to the door. Now then..
01:30 <Cepheid> Nope. Nothing.
01:33 <Cepheid> ... I know I did SOMETHING right.
01:33 <Cepheid> Both of the Stratum 4 bosses are there, now.

02:03 <Cepheid> There's actually no need for a NG+, other than to see all 3 endings. If the True Ending is possible within a single run, and it is, then by default, the true ending is what's used for Nexus.
02:10 <Cepheid> I like to imagine the squad's past feelings of Deja Vu, and are basically like... <NPC> "We need to find Olympia!" <Guild> "She's over there. Turn to your right, go forward, kill that FOE, go forward, turn left, you can't miss her."
02:11 <Cepheid> "Oh by the way, one of your men is dead waaaaay over here. Has a medal on him, his colleague wants it back as a momento. Might want to do something about that."
02:14 <Cepheid> *Guild returns to Senatus* <NPC> "Here, take this Sea Bead to-" <Guild> "A hidden spot on the second floor of the second stratum, there's a pedastal that looks like it's designed to hold the bead. We know." <NPC> "... Are you witches? All of you?"
02:15 <Cepheid> <NPC> "In any case, please go-" <Guild> "Yeah yeah, kill Ketos, find Deep City. We'll be back by noon."
02:24 <Cepheid> There, that should set me up for the true ending.
02:24 <Cepheid> Off to bed for me, now.
02:43 <Cepheid> There is a cat outside wailing, sounds like.

03:01 <Ali> Or Seth you could be useful and put up the episode followup instead? You've missed two already
03:03 <Cepheid> Why do a followup now? The episodes were leaked weeks ago.
03:06 * DashedRainbows boops PinkieShy's horn till it throws sparks
03:07 <Ali> Cause I like to see the silly stuff
03:07 <Ali> Also it was a Twilight Twilighting episode
03:08 * Ali flops over Cepheid, she feels awful.
03:10 <Cepheid> Yep. Get some fluids and bed rest. Keep an eye on it. If it gets worse, go to a clinic.
03:12 <Ali> I'm off soda and onto gatorade till it gets better
03:12 <Ali> Though forced sleep is an awful idea if I'm not tired
03:12 <Ali> It makes the sleep worse and I don't sleep at all

05:10 <Ali> Is it just me, or is XP in Tales of Symphonia either off or something. I haven't gained a level since picking it back up.
05:11 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/catsofinstagram/status/1162461745392148480?s=19

05:14 <LunaNightwind> cephid why would they hide your meds
05:14 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/catsofinstagram/status/1161456695010373632?s=19 Aliens do exist!
05:16 <Cepheid> Luna, because I had concerns of possible addiction. Felt like I was going through them too quickly. Among other reasons.
05:16 <LunaNightwind> unfortunately with my main medication I know im addicted to it, after how long ive been on it there is 0 chance im not addicted to it
05:17 <LunaNightwind> but as long as it to preserve your health thats a good thing\
05:17 <Ali> ALso woo I don't remember how to unison attack!
05:19 <Cepheid> I am addicted, in a sense, to my antidepressants.
05:20 <Cepheid> If I forget to take it, I suffer symptoms not unlike withdrawals. Doctors swear up and down that they aren't withdrawals though.
05:20 *** Quits: [AFK] (Bat@Squeaky.Cuddly.Batpony) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
05:21 <LunaNightwind> 7 years of 4 MG of xanax a day....a medication that you are supposed to have a 6 month on 6 months off schedual on
05:21 <LunaNightwind> my geodon probably aint doing me any favors either ive been taking more of it to try to control my psychosis
05:23 <Cepheid> Cymbalta, 60mg. Failing to take it on a regular schedule induces SSRI/SNRI Discontinuation Syndrome. Results in constant, periodic "brain zaps" every couple of seconds. Disrupts train of thought, and even induces physical jolting in ones movement.
05:24 * DashedRainbows does the pony flop
05:25 <Cepheid> Doesn't hurt but it does get aggravating, and the symptoms can last up to a month or two. Last time I dealt with it, it ran on for a month.
05:26 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I am permanently on Vyvanse, a narcotic drug. Afraid to ask what would happen if I discontinued it.
05:26 <LunaNightwind> im lucky im not on an ssri just lithium for my bipolar
05:26 <LunaNightwind> its honestly the anxiety and the anti psychotic im at risk with i think
05:27 <LunaNightwind> an anti psychotic which doesnt work may i add i still deal with all the symptoms of my schizophrenia and Dissassociateive identity disord
05:28 <LunaNightwind> dissociative identity disorder rather
05:28 <LunaNightwind> sorry those 2 mg of xanax are really kicking my butt
05:29 <LunaNightwind> then i have my hormones which i love and i never want to give up
05:29 <Cepheid> Vyvansr, at worst, just lets my OCD run free and causes me to want to work on stuff. Like, 12-hour days of coding non-stop until I get sick or pass out.
05:30 <LunaNightwind> i was on a medication called Latuda for a while that had helped with the psychosis but it like eliminated all signs of those issues and honestly it made me depressed it went from having friends all the time to having none at all
05:31 <Cepheid> Also helps some of my mental health issues. Like getting irritated at noise and such. So long as I don't have yoo much caffeine, anyways. Vyvanse is a stimulant. Adding caffiene to the mix can... yeah.
05:32 <LunaNightwind> see im weird Caffeine calms me down \
05:32 <Cepheid> In fact that's probably why I am so damn moody right now, besides stir-craziness. Been making strong coffees.
05:32 <LunaNightwind> like i take my sleeping meds with a can of monster just so i can pass out
05:33 <Cepheid> I suspect I have a sensitivity to it myself. Generslly can't hanfle more than one cup a day.
05:34 <LunaNightwind> i THINK my caffeine reversal has to do with the fact that i was diagnosed ADHD when i was like 7
05:34 <LunaNightwind> and parents refused medication so they tried coffee and soda
05:35 <LunaNightwind> cuz well 25 years ago that was what was said to help with that kinda thing
05:35 <Cepheid> I was only diagnosed with ADHD and OCD as of last year, and doubly verified of bipolar. Gods only knows how long I've had them for.
05:36 <Cepheid> Given family history, probably since birth. No one thought to check was all.
05:37 <LunaNightwind> diagnosed: PTSD, Agoraphobia (this is why im so scared of my honeymoon) schizo, DID,ADHD, generalized panic disorder, insomnia, severe night terrors bi polar, along with a few other things, its the whole reason i cant work
05:37 <LunaNightwind> oh and my gender dysphoria diagnosis thats an important one
05:39 <Cepheid> Oof. The only undiagnosed problem I have is my temper. I just go straight from 0% to 100% out of the blue over many things. Some small, some big. No rhyme or reason.

05:40 <Cepheid> No indications it might happen either. One moment, laughing and joking around. The next, the table is upside down, stuck in the ceiling, and I have my fist through one wall.
05:44 <Cepheid> In any case, keep me drugged up, don't do discourse with me, and give me infinite work to do.
05:46 <LunaNightwind> i hold all my anger in with the help of the other personalites otherwize i would be the same way
05:46 <LunaNightwind> if i get too angry i have a docile personality and a snarky personality one of the two of them take over and all is usually

07:05 <Cepheid> Ah to hell with it. My body is saying it is time to cycle around. So long as I am up in time to call OSAP I should be good. I got a deferral anyways.
07:06 <Cepheid> Set an alarm for 2 PM to be safe, and leave visible notes out for me to see.

07:15 <Jackie> Is it ever a good idea to switch between players and GMs per session?
07:15 <Jackie> Let's say players have a turn to be GM, if that's the norm
07:18 <ConfusionRift> Normally, one sticks with a set of players and one DM/GM for the most part of the session. Switching often can cause clashing if everyone just changes styles and rules with each different GM.
07:20 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Hehehe. There's always someone. :P
07:21 *** Quits: Persona (Tilde@Pony-bbbvqb.pdhc.9fgu.6000.2605.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
07:22 <Jackie> I mean for example, I would be a player in one session
07:22 <Jackie> And a GM in a different session
07:22 <Jackie> If that's normal
07:24 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "If they're automatic sessions, it could happen."
07:26 <Jackie> I mean I'm pretty good for two roles
07:58 <Cepheid> One thing I absolutely need to start doing is learn about different spices and the flavours they add to stuff. Soups in particular.
07:59 * Jackie pours ice cream on ConfusionRift
07:59 <ConfusionRift> :P
07:59 * ConfusionRift noms ice cream.
08:00 <Cepheid> Cause, for example, I ruined this chicken noooodle soup by adding Tabasco sauce.
08:00 * Jackie rubs fur
08:01 <ConfusionRift> Well, Tabasco is more acidic and bitter, not to mention hot. It would probably destroy it if one adds too much.
08:01 * ConfusionRift patpats Jackie. :P
08:02 * Jackie purrs
08:06 * Jackie gently pulls ConfusionRift's tail
08:06 <ConfusionRift> Hmm? o_0
08:19 * Jackie noms tail
08:30 <Schism> Cepheid: Chicken soup CAN go well with tabasco, but it's so vinegary... I prefer insanity sauce in mine.

08:54 <Jackie> Can an argument have a check?
08:54 <Jackie> Or debate?

15:15 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, a particular type of nasty fungus has spread to Latin America of late, one which starved out banana trees back in the 1950s, leading to the replacement of the Gros Michel strain with the Cavendish one.
15:16 <Schism> Because bananas are asexually cultivated (no seeds!), they all originate from the same strain, which means that if a disease affects one crop, it affects all of them.

18:32 <Cepheid> Schism, the problem is that he believes it isn't something caused by humans. That it is a natural cycle event and at most we are accelerating it is all. Because you know. CO2 is the thing se exhale and plants breath in and such.
18:32 <Cepheid> I'd be a bit less problematic wityh such a mentality if it included commentary like saying he'd fund a 3 trillion tree replanting effort and such.
18:33 <Schism> It turns out that humans kinda break natural cycles.
18:33 <Cepheid> But nah. He'd rather just let the cycle go it's own way and do nothing based on what I've read.
18:33 <Cepheid> Funny thing is, I don't personally think humans are the only species that would have caused it.
18:33 <Schism> Well, /yea./
18:34 <Cepheid> Had another life form become dominant, I'm 100% certain they would have done the same thing.
18:34 <Schism> It's been proposed that this is yet another solution to the Fermi Paradox.
18:34 <Cepheid> Fermi Paradox?
18:35 <Schism> You know, "Where are all the aliens?"
18:35 <Cepheid> Ah that one.
18:36 <Cepheid> Honestly, I view the problem from a possibly too-logical perspective.
18:37 <Cepheid> For example, a lot of what humans do can be traced to instinct, in some ways. Some convoluted. Others less so. So when horrific or frustrating behaviour occurs, it often doesn't shock me at all.
18:38 <Cepheid> People think that because we have higher intelligence, that we are somehow not bound to instinct anymore. And that our behaviours can be explained in ways unassociated to instinct.
18:38 <Cepheid> I... Disagree. Anyways... No longer on academic probation. o3o
18:40 <Cepheid> Twas a glitch in the system. I passed all my courses last semester but the system didn't see it for some reason. Took a coordinator to change the status.

18:48 <Cepheid> Pizza and sparkling lemonade. Healthy.
18:50 <Cepheid> I dunno what this Pizzapizza does to it's pizzas, but I prefer them over the local Pizzapizza by my place. Has that perfect balance of crunch and softness to the pizza bread. Also they seem to use cornmeal as their flour instead, or something. Not sure what it ism
18:52 <Cepheid> Meanwhile this sparkling lemonade is amazing.
18:53 <LibrarianofHope> i like dominos due to nostalgia
18:53 <LibrarianofHope> we used to get Dominos every friday when i was a kid, so its comforting
18:55 <Cepheid> Used to be Pizza Hut here. But we've since moved to Pizzapizza and Gabriel's pizza. The latter is a local brand.
18:55 <Cepheid> My parents and sister prefer Gabriel's. I prefer Pizzapizza.

19:49 <Cepheid> If anything, I much prefer Tales of Graces f. Felt a lot like ToS, but somehow refined and better. Too bad we had to wait until the PS3 era to get it in the west. Tales of Graces was amazing. One of the best Tales games out there.
19:51 <RyuImperator> My Favorit was tales of berseria
19:54 * Schism signs up for Alliance Raid roulette.
19:54 <Cepheid> Berseria is one of the top ones, yeah.
19:55 <LibrarianofHope> the raven lady one?
19:55 <RyuImperator> yes
19:55 <RyuImperator> Magilou
19:55 <Cepheid> But I much prefer Graces because, like Berseria, they did some trope switcharoos of note.
19:55 <RyuImperator> Magilou and Raven my Favorit characters :D
19:56 <LibrarianofHope> weird outfit
19:56 <LibrarianofHope> i meant velvet
19:56 <Cepheid> Especially with the Future arc added in Graces f. Even if the people found it to be a bit bland, some of the post-Graces character development, especially [REDACTED] was interesting.
19:57 <Cepheid> Especially as he had one hell of a super-sexy voice that I loved to listen too, so hearing more of it was nice.
19:57 <RyuImperator> somehow I want to play the tales of games again, I have tales of Phantasie, Eternia, Vesperia, Grace+F, Xillia+Xillia2, Tales of Beseria
19:58 <RyuImperator> and Vesperia 360 and PS4 release xD
19:58 <RyuImperator> HD remake for PS4 I could resist!
19:58 <RyuImperator> I couldn't resist
19:58 <Cepheid> I wouldn't mind getting some of ths games in Japanese so I can better understand the stories, myself. Especially Eternia.
19:59 <RyuImperator> and Symphonia for GC+PS3
19:59 <Cepheid> Also woupd be nice to get Tales of Destiny 2. The real one. Western version was just Tales of Eternia rebranded.
19:59 <RyuImperator> well I missing some games between Eternia and Vesperia
20:00 <Cepheid> Plus, the translations of Phantasia are... Finicky at best. Got a fan translation of the SNES version, and the remake for the GBA here in the West.
20:00 <Cepheid> Never did get the PSX remake.
20:01 <Cepheid> Alas, even if I could get my hands on all of these, I would need to learn more Japanese first.
20:01 <Cepheid> I'd be better off starting with Japanese-language games tailored for children, to learn.
20:01 <RyuImperator> or
20:01 <RyuImperator> Duolingo
20:01 <RyuImperator> if you brave enought :D
20:02 <Cepheid> I'm taking formal classes at University.
20:03 <Cepheid> But I would like games that are simple for the sake of learning. Best to apply the language if I want to learn and retain.
20:03 <RyuImperator> Point and click Adventure xD?
20:04 <Cepheid> Games like that Chocobo Mystery Dungeon might be good. That one especially looks aimed at kids and teens. Might fare well with it. Wonder if it has dual-language on the Switch.
20:04 <Cepheid> Or even Pokemon games.
20:05 <Cepheid> Hey Schism. I misunderstood how the lore of EO3 works. Apparently it's not like I remember. You get both key items in a single run, but you have to play both sides in a weird way. Lie to one. Tell the truth to the other.
20:06 <Cepheid> So there is no weirdness with it's ending in relation to Nexus now.

20:09 <Cepheid> Yeah. But what I meant was isn't it a continuation of that Tales game on phones that was canceled? I heard something to that effect anyway.

20:13 <Ali> I liked Symphonia and its sequal, even though the latter was kinda weak.
20:16 <Cepheid> That may have been due to Namco being lazy with the translation though.
20:17 <Cepheid> They cut corners and used simple and cheap methods to translate it and Vesperia.
20:18 <Cepheid> Like, a single pass literal translation of the script, and they were done. No polish, no localization fixups or regional stuff.

21:47 * Cepheid flops.
21:47 * Cepheid is finally home.
21:49 * Cepheid loads up EO3.
21:50 <Cepheid> By the way, first character to hit level 70 was Dreamer. Then Schism, followed by Ali, next up is Nighty, and lastly myself, Cepheid.
21:53 <Cepheid> That said, they're stuck at that point for now. Until A) I find a good way to grind levels, and B) Kill an elemental dragon, they won't reach level 70 or exceed it any time soon.
21:55 <ADragonHoarding> Dreamer leads the pack!
21:55 <ADragonHoarding> although based on class specifically it's probably Cepheid who is the party leader.
21:55 <ADragonHoarding> Dreamer is the Big Guy
21:56 <Cepheid> No kidding.
21:56 <Cepheid> At his current stats, with Rally Order enabled, he has 980 HP.
21:56 <Cepheid> That's the most HP I've ever seen on any Etrian Odyssey character *EVER*.
21:57 <Cepheid> Still can't believe that I had to resort to a hint from a walkthrough to figure out the true ending.
21:58 <Cepheid> NEver would have figured it out either, probably.
21:59 <Cepheid> In order to start it, you have to A) Promise not to tell Armoroad about the Deep City, and then B) Immediately break that promise by telling the Senatus of Armoroad about the Deep City.
22:01 <Cepheid> $50 says there's a hint in the lowest stratum that would have explained it.
22:01 <Cepheid> Or the NPCs would comment on it.
22:02 <ADragonHoarding> no bet
22:02 *** Quits: ADragonHoarding (Mibbit@Pony-krk.qod.41.69.IP) (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
22:02 <Cepheid> Looks like maximum HP is 999.
22:03 *** Joins: ADragonHoarding (Mibbit@Pony-krk.qod.41.69.IP)
22:04 <Cepheid> That, or 1 level of Rally Order was enough to boost it's effect by exactly 19 HP, giving the impression of 999 being the max.

22:22 * DashedRainbows sniffs all the horses and flops around
22:24 <Cepheid> Oh my gods Spitfire what the hell is wrong with you?
22:24 <Cepheid> That was a clump of Tizzy's fur on the floor WHY DID YOU EAT IT!?
22:24 <Ali> Cause cat
22:27 <Cepheid> ... Okay, game, that makes no logical sense.
22:28 <Cepheid> I sided with the Deep City, why would a character who sides *AGAINST* me, give me a part of the Porcelain Offering? ... Of course, it said that the "sister"(The Princess) wanted me to have it, so if she gave the order, he'd be required to hand it over, as he serves the Princess.
22:29 <Cepheid> But then, the Senatus is separate from the Princess as an entity(Senatus is basically a ruling aristocracy, where the Princess is figurehead royalty at this point,) so while the old lady might complain about our choice, the Princess might have her own opinions and thoughts..
22:30 <Cepheid> Sky Bowl and Starry Shard. That's what I need for the true ending.

22:33 <Cepheid> I'm under the impression that something in the sixth stratum explains it on either ending, but I'm not willing to put the effort to find out until later, once I've 100% everything in the true ending. Otherwise..
22:33 <Cepheid> It's possible it's a lost-in-translation, or a rare case of "Notice that this happened".

22:37 <Cepheid> Squad's level 70, except for Cepheid.
22:40 <Cepheid> Yep, 999 HP is the max.
22:41 * Ali deals 9999 damage to Cepheid
22:42 <Cepheid> Heh
22:42 <Cepheid> Worst hit I've ever taken throughout the series was 4,918 damage.
22:42 <Cepheid> That was from the Star Devourer. If you survive a hit from the Star Devourer's Full Burst, you immediately take a follow-up hit for 4,900+ damage.
22:43 <Ali> So Cepheid this map has a lot of copper on it, not sure if that's a good thing or not
22:44 *** Quits: danwellby (danwellby@The.lone.griffon) (Connection closed)
22:44 <Cepheid> Copper, early-on, tends to be a low-use item.
22:44 <Cepheid> But it really picks up later on.
22:44 <Cepheid> Because almost everything past a certain point requires copper.
22:44 <Ali> Yeah I know
22:44 <Ali> The low stuff on the map so far is oil and uranium
22:44 <Ali> Only have one patch of oil worth 1100%
22:45 <Cepheid> Which will suffice for early stuff. Uranium, I'm not surprised. It's supposed to be rare.

22:50 <Cepheid> Aaaand it worked.
22:51 <Cepheid> There is absolutely no hints though that indicates how it works, so I'm assuming lost-in-translation or clue in the false endings.
22:51 <Cepheid> Which, again, I won't be examining *UNTIL* I can kill the final boss.
