Sword Quest III - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> Can we also make the same large glowy bullets that DON'T explode into smaller shrapnel bullets?
> If the above is possible, would combining large glowy bullets that explode with large glowy bullets that don't explode be considered unsporting?

>You can!
>You don't think so, but it would probably be a little slower by necessity.

> If the above is possible, would combining large glowy bullets that explode with large glowy bullets that don't explode be considered unsporting?

> And if so, would it still be considered unsporting if there was a very clear distinction between them? (say, explodey ones are blue, non-explodey ones are yellow)

@Edit

Oh nvm then :c

FEI that question is just checking for the future while I have it in mind now. If the battle progresses in such a fashion, I would like to go explodey shinies -> non-explodey shinies -> combo shinies. It's a simple fair gameplay difficulty progression.

> Give the slightest of grins.
> "By necessity."
> While speaking, sweep an open right hand in front of us in a circle about two feet in diameter, creating a ring of our shiney explodey bullets to be launched forward and a little bit outward.

>The oni laughs again, while you sweep your hand out and create ring of bullets. The oni dances back, taking to the air and hovering back. The bullets fly out, and she slips between them and starts to close in again, before they explode behind her.  She gives a cry, and starts to try to work her way between the waves of small shots.

> How much cooldown time do we require between waves of such bullets?

[Hello Purvis]

> How much cooldown time do we require between waves of such bullets?

>A couple moments.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Can we mix up these bullets with other bullets during the cooldown, or does everything stop until the cooldown period is over?

> Once the cooldown has passed, created another circle of glowy explodey bullets in front of us, this one only one foot in diameter. It should still go forward and slightly outward.

>You could throw in a few basic bullets if you wanted, but nothing too fancy or tricksy.
>You create another ring of bullets, as the oni works her way through the debris of the last wave, catching one on her hip in the process.  As you send out the next wave of bullets, she backs further away.

[Suwako Moriya]

> What would happen if we were to run into our own bullets?
> Do the glowy bullets slow down before they explode, or do they just explode with no warning?

>Nothing.
>They slow a bit.

> How's her facial expression looking?

>She seems a bit harried.

> Can we do giant lasers? Or do lasers require our sword?

[Hello Purvis]

> Can we do giant lasers? Or do lasers require our sword?

>You can do a beam without your sword, but they wouldn't be of the same quality.

[Kilgamayan]

> Let our cooldown time pass, then create another two-foot-diameter ring of explodey bullets, traveling forward and a bit outward.

[Hello Purvis]

> Let our cooldown time pass, then create another two-foot-diameter ring of explodey bullets, traveling forward and a bit outward.

>You create another ring of bullets, while the oni is trying to deal with the aftermath of the second ring.
>"You ain't half bad at this!" she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> That's an odd thing for someone to say when they wanted to rip our head off for slighting their sister a few minutes ago. What does her tone suggest about the intent of what she said?

>She doesn't sound angry, at least. It may be a genuine compliment.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Thank you! You are certainly no slouch yourself!"
> When the cooldown period ends, fire a foot-diameter ring of glowy bullets, headed forward and slightly outward, that look like the explodey shots but don't actually explode.

>You do so, sending out shots that prompts the oni to act cautious. Then she sees they are doing nothing of interest, and charges forward toward you, fist raised and grinning fearlessly.

[Kilgamayan]

Well, that happened.

> What's the current distance between us?

[Hello Purvis]

> What's the current distance between us?

>A few yards.

[Kilgamayan]

> Is she rearing back her right fist as usual?
> Is she coming from above, below, or on the same level as us?

[Hello Purvis]

> Is she rearing back her right fist as usual?
> Is she coming from above, below, or on the same level as us?

>Yes.
>The same level, you are both pretty close to the roof right now.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we use dagger danmaku?

[Hello Purvis]

> Do we use dagger danmaku?

>Sometimes!

[Kilgamayan]

> Fly back and to the left. Keep ourselves facing forward, though.
> While flying back, swipe our right hand from left to right in front of us to create a forward-traveling stream of dagger bullets.

> While flying back, swipe our right hand from left to right in front of us to create a forward-traveling stream of dagger bullets.

>You fly back and leftward, and send out a stream of forward-flying knife danmaku.
>The oni continues forward for a moment, then suddenly stops and punches the air. A spray of speedy green danmaku flies from her fist, spreading outward like a flower blooming.

[Kilgamayan]

> What kind of danmaku is this?
