Title: Vestrics
Post by: Penumbra on October 04, 2005, 09:53:28 AM
Okay, seriously, WHY are Vestrics so damn strong?
I've thrown 8 spears at this bugger, and he just keeps on running!
These guys are small!
Shouldn't their HP be toned down a bit?

They aren't that strong.  More likely your throw skill sucks.  Keep at it.  :)

Also, should you really be throwing spears at vestrics?  Unless I'm mistaken, a vestric is about the size of a field mouse.
EDIT: I was mistaken.  Vestrics are large enough to have spears tossed at them.

I've killed a field mouse with a spear.

I also killed a field mouse with a boulder.

I'm a hunter.

What I think is funnier is melee combat with these things... and dying.
:) Imagine a grown human being mauled by a field mouse.

That'd be the same as dying to a snail in the arena on a stock dikumud.

Vestrics are a litte under three feet tall.  So they are a little bigger than a field mouse.

be careful, I know I am going to get in trouble for spreading ic info, but you have the krath damned right to know.

When you attack a vestric Ginka decides randomly (1 in 1,324,234,978) that is may be a space vestric come to study Zalanthas, in which case they equip a particle relocation blaster (anything it hits appears approx one foot to the left of your body) and super implosion phaser. which takes 10 rounds to charge up so even if you last that long it is auto-slay if it hits.
