I can see that

Hey all, soo we had a few issues yesterday(?) and I decided it was a good time to upgrade the forum software, it has seemingly resolved some of the issues we were having but on the flip side it's likely going to cause a few bugs. The status system is a little bit all over the place right now, so working on this. In any case, the purpose of this thread is to get you all to post your findings of bugs etc from the upgrade - I will look at these over the next few days and resolve what I can. Much love torms

Well, he hit it and it was no longer focused on the lying-on-her-back magician, so that was two good things, Chris thought. Like, it was focused on him now and that wasn’t ideal but what he was getting at was there were worse alternatives. He could have missed entirely, for example. And the second blast did help -- it kept the thing distracted just long enough for Chris to catch back up with it and ram his blade through its chest. The monster didn’t die right away. In fact, it managed enough wherewithal to draw the blade even further into itself and let out a spittle-filled roar right into Chris’ face, taking one final half-hearted swipe at his face before, when Chris leaned back and pulled his sword out to dodge, collapsing. “Gross,” Chris said as he wiped the fish-goblin spit off his face and onto his sleeve. “That’s it, though, right?” It wasn’t it. There was still one more, one that had been blown away by Estellise’s first blast and had just gotten back up on its webbed feet and was now leering at all three adventurers one after the other, like it was deciding which one of them was going to be its prey first. Chris moved first, though, which seemed to make the decision easier for it. The meat was coming to it, after all, and it raised its arms ready for the attack. The attack Chris chose was a large diagonal cut, aimed between the shoulder and the neck hoping to cut clean through from there to the thing’s hip. It was an attack the creature had forever to see coming and it defended accordingly, raising its arms up and at the ready. Chris’ sword didn’t take the expected path, though. Instead, he relaxed his grip to bring the sword around, side-stepped, and drove the sword edge down into its other, now significantly less-guarded shoulder. This blow by itself wasn’t lethal either -- Chris certainly wasn’t able to bifurcate it like he’d hoped -- but him finding the opening swiftly lent itself to creating even more openings as he wrenched his sword back out to drive it back in. It only took one or two more swings, and the errant scrape he got from ignoring its claws on the way down went almost without notice until the fish goblin finally collapsed. Chris collapsed too a few moments later, exhausted from the battle, lying down on the dungeon floor trying to catch his breath. Even now, looking up at the ceiling, he could see it was already developing the same quality it had way back on the floor with the kobolds -- it was starting to betray the shifting nature of the place. “There’s what, three more this run? Two more?” he called out. “Two more. I think.” He brought a hand to his newest battle wound and winced, now fully appreciating the pain. “I just- okay.” He sat up and looked back to his companions, first Lana, then Estellise. “I’m going to need a hearty meal after all this. How are you two feeling?”

I prolly just worded it awkwardly ?

The Raging Raptor "It's just a card game; you people really need to chill out." "I'm as chilled as they come, honestly." Itsuki chuckled with a slight shrug. "Listen I don't know what your interest in me is all about but I'm not all that interested in you. I have no plans to try and 'have fun' or 'test myself' with this tournament and that's not gonna change. I..." This seemed to stop right there, as Cedric was in the midst of a call and seemed to go in this direction now. Itsuki couldn't help but wonder why this guy seemed to be...well...it was just a card game? Not wanting to have fun or testing himself? Then honestly what was the point, other than a simple cash grab and an overly boring 9 to 5 job? People like this were an enigma to Itsuki... "I gotta go. I'll pay on my way out." "No need. It was my treat, remember." Itsuki waved this thought off. "Go off and enjoy the rest of your day, Cid. It was nice getting to know you...look forward to facing off against you in the tournament." Once Cedric left the establishment, Itsuki would only sigh and shake his head. "...and here I thought I found a worthy Duelist to call my rival in this tournament. Nope, not one iota of care or excitement in that one. Buuuuuut perhaps he might still prove a challenge...maybe." he mused, downing the last bit of his drink. The Blazing Squire "This is where the real battle begins, Julian!" Richard said, taking the last card in his hand...which was of course: "I equip Emperor Charles with Noble Arms - Gallatin! Same as before, it'll gain 1000 ATK, each of my Standby Phase it'll lose 200 ATK." INK Emperor Charles | 3000 ATK -> 4000 ATK "But the fun doesn't stop there! When a card gets equipped to a monster on the field...I can destroy one card on the field. And mind you: that's even before the Damage Step!" The fired up Duelist smirked and pointed directly at the Thought Ruler Archfiend. "I think you knew that was going to be the target...so by Emperor Charles' effect: I'll have Thought Ruler Archfiend slain!!" And like that, Thought Ruler Archfiend was set ablaze. "So you will." That was something to watch for in the future. Julian moved his monster to the graveyard, leaving his field quite devoid of monsters. "Very well then." "And like that, the field is wide open for a direct attack." Richard said triumphantly, slightly flicking his thumb under his nose. "Emperor Charles! Raise your blade alongside Gallatin...attack Julian directly!!" The blonde haired knight nodded, before raising both blades into the air, before rushing towards the old man. "GO! Blazing Imperial Assault!!!" Julian: 7500 -> 3500 "And that'll end my turn...well, at least to the End Phase. Which now will allow me to do this..." Richard began to explain. "My Noble Knights of the Round Table Field Spell...let's see..." he paused, now checking something. "The Field Spell, Emperor Charles, Captain Oliver, Oliger, Renaud, Magius...that's a total of six different cards with Noble Knight in their names. And unfortunately, I can't activate the 6+ portion of the Field Spell, but I can do this...I send Noble Arms - Clarent to the grave. But now that I've done that...Emperor Charles' second ability!" The card he immediately had sent to the grave, he now fished back out. "I now equip Clarent to my Emperor and then...from the deck, can equip a Fire Monster to him...and we'll choose...my second Maugis! Now Charles will gain an extra 500 ATK due to this, but also thanks to Maugis, he can't be destroyed by battle!" INK Emperor Charles | 4000 ATK -> 4500 ATK "Now my turn is done!" "I draw." Julian assessed his hand. Then his field, which wasn't exactly doing him any favors. Then that enemy Synchro. 4500 ATK and an immunity to being destroyed by battle. Frankly, there was no getting over that in a timely enough manner to turn this around. Returning the cards to his deck, Julian sighed. "This isn't for keeps, so I'll save us both a bit of time, and reluctantly admit defeat. I'll have to keep these monsters of yours in mind, should we face off for real in the tournament." Theoretically, if Julian could just make it past that first round in the real deal, he could possibly pull it off. He just needed to know his competition. That first round was going to be a hurdle, though. "That also makes you the first person to beat me in a duel in some... oh, what, fifty or sixty years? Well done!" Richard seemed a bit saddened by the immediate end of this game, noticing Julian putting the cards back in his deck. But at the same time, while doing the same, still had the brightest smile on his face. "Oh no...I couldn't take that as a real win. The saying is, it isn't over till the last card is played...as well as it isn't over till the Life Points hit zero. So I definitely wouldn't call that a win." he said, immediately moving towards the older man, extending his hand. "But having that much high praise from you, it's a real honor, sir." Julian smiled, taking the hand and giving a firm shake. "There's no need to go calling me 'sir'; we're all equal here. Old veteran or new rising star, we're still just pro duelists at the end of the day." Thinking back to that final turn, Julian eventually retracted his hand and said "Those monsters of yours though! We certainly wouldn't have seen anything like them back in my time. Perhaps I should consider a bit of deck shopping..." "Heh, very well then." Richard chuckled, the firm handshake being struck. "But yeah, the game certainly has evolved to a different level, but with moves like yours out there...I'm sure some may not even be able to compare. But then again, a Duelist does know how to improve and prepare for all sorts of situations. So maybe some deck shopping for some more Psychic Type monsters and support might be in order." The young man flashed a smile. "If you do, I can't wait to see what you'll do!"
