Eye of the Dragon-er, Tiger! [Action]

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

*Anybody visiting the simulation chamber today might find a certain black dragon keeping herself busy, running various programs*

[1: Tearing random mooks to pieces in her dragon form. Very cathartic!]

[2: Getting her ass handed to her by a Balor]

[3: Sneaking up(?!) on a Balor and backstabbing the hell out of it with her claws, only to be sent flying away by the ensuing explosion]

[4: A bit later in the day, you might find her actually running stealth simulations, with surprising degrees of success in both human or dragon form]

[5: Danmaku training. She's ... not the best, but getting better at it?]

[Feel free to react to more than one option]

... they hardly feel most of my ranged attacks. Acid, fireballs, lightning bolts...

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

... I see.

... Would that explosion have seriously hurt you if the fight was real?

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

... a little... kind of...

... it'd kill a normal human, I think.

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

[Clarissa frowns.]

Then don't do that!

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

*being chided like that makes Ixthalluz reply testily*

But I'm not a human!

...

It does really hurt, though.

But I need to figure out how to kill them properly!

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

That doesn't matter, you already said that it'd hurt you. What if you had to somehow kill twenty of them?

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

I'm not stupid, I'm not going to fight that many at once!

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

But how do you know that you're not going to get into a situation where you have to fight through that many at once, even if you weren't planning on it?

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

...

...

I don't know. That's why I'm trying to figure out how to kill just one without getting blown up.

*in all likelihood, if 20 balors showed up, she'd pop an invisibility spell and run like hell*

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

... Well, it seems pretty obvious that the way to do that is to figure out how to kill it with a ranged attack. Since they blow up whenever they die.

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

... I already told you what happened to my range attacks.

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

So figure out a way to make them actually work on this thing!

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

*the more you shout at her, the more she's going to shout back :| *

How am I supposed to do that?!

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

[She sighs.]

Try aiming them at different parts of the creature to see if there's any spaces where it can actually hurt it, for starters. Try everywhere you can.

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

... my acid breath pretty much covers them entirely.

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

... And it just completely shrugs it off?

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

... not completely, but it doesn't hurt it as much as it should.

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

Have you tried concentrating the acid on a specific spot instead of covering the entire thing?

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

I can't.

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

I see.

You have any other ranged attacks that you can limit the range of?

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

N... no.

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

I see. That's... well, that's a problem then...

[dragon-moe.livejournal.com]

... you don't even know if that would help.

[dandelion-shot.livejournal.com]

Hey, there as to be some way you can figure out how to do this without blowing yourself up...
