When I woke up the next day, there was great good news and great bad news.
The good news is, "rysn followed the gargoyles who returned in a state of panic and discovered their lair. According to Annevia and Yaron, it seemed that there was the lost church that Zekarius guarded until the end and sacrificed his life. "Hunyuan explained a little bit about the raven's detection.
"What is certain is that although it is some distance away from our route, it is not very far. And those people who were taken away seem to be still alive, but what is more troublesome is that according to Rysn's investigation, there are There are a lot of ghouls there." Hunyuan frowned slightly.
"In other words, it can definitely be done by the soul-eating demons, but I don't know how many soul-eating demons there are." Lin Yun frowned slightly.
"Yes." Hunyuan nodded.
The bad news that followed was, "At the exit of Guardian Canyon, there was a large green cloud that looked very dirty. According to our investigation, we found that these so-called clouds were actually made of a large number of bugs. "Annivea's face looked slightly ugly.
On the other hand, Arafashina also said, "Through the samples collected, those insects that look like centipedes should belong to a species of locusts unique to the abyss. They have characteristics close to those of demons, and are sensitive to fire and lightning." A certain amount of resistance, and those nasty little beasts will destroy your equipment and drive you crazy with their buzzing."
As Arafashina spoke, he took out an insect that looked like a centipede and outnumbered the locusts, then pointed at the teeth and said, "There are no toxins on these teeth. This is probably good news, but The problem is that their teeth are very sharp and sharp, which can be said to be comparable to fine gold. As far as I know, in the material world, except for fine gold, there is probably not much material that can resist the bite of these bugs. This is what I say. Something that will ruin your gear.”
"I once studied that if the hardness of steel is about 10, then fine gold is 20, and the range that this insect can bite is about 19." On the other hand, the scroll mage looked like a nerd. said.
This guy's name is Nie Niu.
I once released the dimensional anchor against the succubus with Jingtian at Iron Guard Ambition, although it was said that it turned out to be a failure.
Later, he also helped many times.
This guy seems to be a research madman. Although he doesn't hate fighting, he mainly does it for research.
So when Lin Yun and the others left Cannably, this guy followed them.
Then when he saw Arafashina studying the bug, he suddenly jumped out.
She is rarely seen in daily life.
Because she never knew what she was studying. Of course, in addition, she also provided some scrolls for Lin Yun and the others to use.
Her profession is a variant of the mage, a scroll expert, although it feels like she specializes in scrolls unnecessarily.
After all, other mages can also create scrolls.
But the problem is that other mages use scrolls to release magic, which is the minimum requirement to be able to release scrolls.
For example, if a level 9 caster casts fireball, the minimum level for fireball is level 5, and the saving throw is also the minimum intelligence standard, which is 14dc, because theoretically, an intelligence of 13 can cast a level 3 spell.
As for the Scroll Expert, no matter who creates the scroll, as long as she can place it, she can use her own intelligence adjustment bonus and caster level.
From a certain point of view, the scroll has been upgraded from a slightly useless level to a strategic resource. As long as there are enough spell scrolls, it can be said that the endurance is much stronger than other spell casters.
"Of course, the size of these little guys is here, so it will take some time to chew them up, but considering that they are among the swarms, I don't think our soldiers can come out intact when our soldiers go in." Nie Niu continued.
"In addition, this kind of bug has a strange spirit. Once it gathers in a swarm, it can exert a special kind of mental pressure on the surrounding creatures. If you stay in a swarm of these bugs for more than a certain period of time, you will be affected. , if you are not careful, you may fall into madness, please be careful." Arafashina continued.
"Then do you have any suggestions?" Lin Yun looked at Alafashnai on the other side.
"For now, we have no other way to go, and the army cannot move around the obstacles. Retreating is too risky. If the insect swarm notices the army and kills in front of it in the open space, the whole army will be annihilated. ." Irabes, who has been in charge of the main marching route of the army, said in a deep voice.
"According to our understanding, if the estimate is correct, there is an insect queen in them, who is the mistress of the entire insect swarm. The insect queen is usually huge and is located underground in the center of the insect swarm. Before changing the nest, the insect queen will not stop for a moment. Stop and give birth to new bugs. If the queen is giving birth, there will be ten guard bugs around, and most people can tell the clues at a glance. If the queen can be found and killed, the swarm will quickly dissipate, and we can continue Moving forward." Arafashina said seriously.
"Very good. From this point of view, it's probably a good note." Lin Yun said with a somewhat strange expression.
"But the problem now is that those insect swarms will undoubtedly protect their mother insects, and there is no way for us to break through easily." Arafashina was also a little helpless.
At this time, the soldier commander said, "I don't know if I can withstand it."
"What do you mean, you want to be a bait?" Lin Yun looked at the soldier commander.
"Your Excellency Arafashina, can I ask clearly about the resistance of those bugs to other elements? For example, ice or acid." The soldier asked directly.
Gu Yu
"Well, as for ice and acid, after all, they are still relatively weak bugs compared to demons. Neither of these two elements are immune or resistant." Arafashina frowned slightly and then said.
"If this is the case, then there is no problem. I can transform myself into an existence similar to elemental creatures. As long as I transform it into the corresponding element, then all my attacks can effectively damage those bugs, plus After I transformed, I became so huge that in addition to being able to effectively kill those bugs, I could also attract their attention." The soldier commander said seriously.
"In that case, I will join you. I can transform into a dragon chariot form. Not only can I attack and create ice, but I can also use my breath." Aleister also said on this side.
"Well, if you two are together, it can indeed make people feel more at ease." Lin Yun nodded slightly, "But it's not enough. As the saying goes, too many insects kill the elephant. If too many insects come to your side, If so, your situation will be very dangerous, and we must arrange for a treatment person and someone to send you away."
"Regarding this, I think we can ask the alchemists to help us make some insect repellent and hand it over to Mr. Saucier." The soldier obviously seemed to have some countermeasures.
"Insect repellent, yes, why didn't I think of such a simple thing." Lin Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and clapped his hands.
Insect repellent, according to PF, means that all bugs of micro size or smaller that enter the user's surroundings require a Constitution check. Note that it is a Constitution check, not a Fortitude save.
Although the dc is only 15, the effect is already pretty good.
The most important thing is that compared to targets with repellent, bugs are more likely to attack targets without repellent, and this does not have any immunity, it is just a matter of instinct.
First of all, the repellent effect on the deformed soldier commander is bound to fail, but at the same time, he himself is the best target.
Then just apply repellent to Thorhill's body.
Such a fragile Thorhill doesn't need to worry about the insect swarm at all. He only needs to focus on treating the soldier commander. It's perfect.
As for Aleister?
Although Aleister can be considered a transformation, strictly speaking. . . . . He is a fused body, so his body is still inside, so insect repellent can also be used.
In short, it can only be said that the veteran is indeed a veteran, but at this time, he thought of the flexible use of alchemical items.
You know, a bottle of insect repellent only costs 5 gold coins. If an alchemist makes it himself, it can cost half as much, but it is effective for up to 4 hours. It can be said to be a very cost-effective, cheap and easy-to-use model.
"If that's the case, maybe I can join the fight a little bit." At this time, the priestess of the Dawn Blade Knights also said.
Yes, the Dawnblade Knights believe in Lady Dawn. As priestesses and followers of Lady Dawn, they should be very good at healing.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what you specialize in..." Lin Yun's eyes lit up slightly, and then he asked.
"I am the Morning Flower Hermit of the Atom Realm and the Sun Realm." the priestess said with a smile.
"Very good. In this case, it seems that there is no need to worry." Lin Yun blinked, but he was a little surprised.
Because if the prophets in the Secret Realm of Life are better than priests, then the Complex Atom Realm is probably the only existence that is more powerful than the Secret Realm of Life.
Restorative contact, which can be used at level 1, can relieve dizziness, fatigue, trembling, nausea, and trance.
And the most important thing is that with the Blessing of the Healer starting at level 6, all medical spells have +50% medical effect, which is equivalent to a powerful metamagic expertise.
The difference is that powerful metamagic feats require at least an additional +2 levels as a price, but healer's blessing is not required at all.
And beyond that is the Morning Flower Hermit.
Although he is said to be a hermit, he is actually similar to an ordinary priest, except that he belongs exclusively to Lady Dawn and is proficient in the sun field.
Being able to use an ability called Solar Prayer, at level 1, is nothing more than +1 attack roll and damage to evil creatures like a bard's minstrel performance.
However, unlike inspiring courage, the DC of spells or domain powers released against evil creatures will also increase.
Then, like the bard, it will increase with level.
However, at level 1, Sunlight Prayer is only effective for the Morning Flower Hermit. Only at level 3, the Morning Flower Hermit has a wide-range auxiliary ability like a bard.
But as far as support is concerned, it's pretty good.
Because the ability of Sunlight Prayer can be strengthened through professional abilities, thereby achieving the effect of blessing multiple abilities at the same time.
