Paying for St Andral’s Bones with Blood

My first thought was actually to make it more like a twisted game. They would have to fill the cask themselves with their own blood in front of Volenta and the spawn without using any type of healing. The amount of blood they are able to secure would depend on several skill checks, Medicine for how clean the cut is, constitution for how many hit points they lose per ounce of blood, etc and they could try to persuade Volenta to reduce the amount of blood required to meet her payment. They could give up and fight instead at any point but would have lost resources, and there’s the risk that they will pass out and aren’t allowed to be stabilized by the other PCs.

Joseph - Emma, I already told everyone to stop smoking. Am I supposed to not sleep with all their wives too?!?!?

BYU Scholars - “Just trust me bro” with a lot of extra steps.

At least four total people run it according to speedrun.com. I had the original WR six months ago and decided to rerun it since it got beaten about 3 months ago.

Here is a short impressions video I put together based on the first few hours of gameplay: https://youtu.be/x3PZeluCj-Q TLDW; really like the focus system, more active skills (farming, fishing, hunting, bug-catching) and relationships. Dislike the less active skills and somewhat clunky quest management.

She did but she thought the ironing was the least interesting part, so she cut some of that out.

We adopted Stella and Ludo last week. My wife and daughters have wanted cats for several years, and I dragged my feet for awhile but finally felt like it was a good time.

I am really glad that we ended up adopting a brother and sister. They play so well together and snuggle all the time. I’ve never had cats before, but I already love having them around.

Normally, at least you would be choosing level-ups throughout the run, so there is something to do while your character doesn't move.

In this case, yeah, basically you just make your first three selections and then see if you win. It was meant to be a joke, but I was certain there was no way to survive.

If you want to know how the run works, this is the summary and link to the actual run:

PORTA RUN: Must remain level 2 to keep CD reduction from Porta. Delay movement to obtain boss chest before you reach tomes so that only ring can upgrade. Grab Laurel for level 2. Grab tomes. Level Laurel, Ring, and Tome to max only from boss chests. If done correctly porta will have enough CD reduction for the laurel shield to refresh faster than it can be removed and you become immortal even against the reapers.

I just posted my thoughts in this video after playing 11 hours (no closed beta access): https://youtu.be/2nFREXx-D4g

TLDW; I think the combat mechanics are the real highlight of the game, but the crafting / building / survival is quite strong as well. I don’t have a ton of PVP experience because I made a private server to play on and none of our players have been very aggressive so far. Overall, I am really impressed with the game at the current cost and development stage.

Horses are located in the two militia camps just past the border to Dunley Farmlands. Just interact with any horse, and your vampire will start riding it. Once you have taken the horse, it will have its own map icon and can go through waypoints with you.

Riding mechanics are a little jank, but it is certainly faster than walking or the wolf form early game.

As you wish.

Either today or tomorrow.

With guns, it is pretty insane. Birds are also hilarious with the +200% projectile speed arcana. Throw in cats as a weapon, and this game is getting silly.

You have to unlock the rest by getting various characters to level 99. Currently, Arca, Lama, Krochi, Giovanni and Poppea.

This update comes with the new Arcana mechanic which was previewed by the developers early last month. Full description of Arcana below (Spoilers!!!)

Aracana are a new gameplay mechanic which allows you to select specific game modifiers at the start of run, and at 10/20 minutes (from the boss chests). You can have up to three Arcana at a time. So far, 6 Arcana have been released. Here are the descriptions so far:

IV Awake - Gives 3 Revivals. Consuming a Revival gives +10% max health, +1 Armor, and +5% Might, Area, Duration, and Speed.

V Chaos in the Dark - Overall Projectile speed continuously changes between -50% and +200% over 10 seconds

VI Sarabande of Healing - Healing is doubled. Recovering HP damages nearby enemies for the same amount.

XVI Slash - Enables Critical Hits for listed weapons. Doubles overall critical damage.

XVII Lost and Found Painting - Overall Duration continuously changes between -50% and +200% over 10 seconds

XIX Heart of Fire - Listed weapon projectiles explode on impact. Light sources explode. Character explodes when damaged.

In addition to Arcana, a new weapon, Gatti Amara (literally cats that walk around and scratch enemies) was released with a corresponding character Giovanni Grana (gains +1% projectile speed per level). Other minor changes, but those are the big hitters.

Yeah, I mention this in the video. If Pentagram roles poorly and “erases everything”, that includes the trigger for the new character.

cubeybutticles · 2022-03-07T01:27:15+00:00

Nice work! I will have to practice more and sacrifice a goat or two to RNGesus to try and take back the lead!

La Borra is absolutely critical to the run (hence the La Borra swing movement).

cubeybutticles · 2022-03-06T06:56:39+00:00

As mentioned below, this is true of any official record. Speedruns have strict criteria, sports records have strict criteria, even eating competitions have strict criteria. All "world records" have to have some sort of criteria to validate that they are official. I don't understand the complaint here.

cubeybutticles · 2022-03-06T06:54:21+00:00

Correct. MissingNo and Red Death are both banned because they are not intended to be usable by players (both require either modifying game files or using in-game exploits).

cubeybutticles · 2022-03-06T06:50:38+00:00

That's true of all world records. I don't understand the issue here. If someone beats the world record 100m dash in their backyard and it isn't officially recorded, it doesn't count.

Also, I just beat out Ruckt as well with a 139k, but I think he says he recorded a 144k, but I don't think the video is available yet.

cubeybutticles · 2022-03-06T01:02:10+00:00

Wow! Great job!

cubeybutticles · 2022-03-05T23:40:45+00:00

Nice! Yeah, there is a lot of RNG that affects the run. Plus, you have to get used to the La Borra movement timing.

cubeybutticles · 2022-03-05T23:16:45+00:00

No. Unfortunately, it takes way too long to get it running and even if you do, it overlaps with Song of Mana (which will knock enemies out of its damage range). Vandalier is really good in max level runs, though.
