147

finallly the level up is close at hand!

stubs

big backpack or something?

8Psycho

Someone remind me what the Double Gamgee is?

PrimalShadow

With the way this epic fight is shaping up, hopefully we'll get to post 'OMG Chapter 148 was literally 20 pages of Tallheart hitting rocks in a dungeon!' over on /r as a nice little joke for April Fool's day.

Starless

Can't wait for tomorrow's Kettel pov. Maybe the chapter where the delving trio runs away and plans comes first though. Gonna have to wait for the brutal cliff where the monkey fight ends with Rain blacking out. /s

Loipers

Fixed, maybe?

SenescentSoul

Yeah took a while but finally we're getting somewhere on his progression. Though realistically he'd have to have started to get some levelling done quickly since I think they only planned to be down in the dungeon for a couple of months tops.

tibbish

Finally I was feeling the story was progressing very slowly, but now we're have some momentum going

Steven Thompsen

Ameliah even did the Thanos meteor summoning hand motion for maximum chunni power. Monkey Lord DX could have at least taken 1-2k damage so she doesn't look like a dang fool.

Starless

Just shruggin off meteorites like its not a thing... Whatever man.

Chopper

A shaman is basically a kind of priest, right? So a shaman-king is basically a priest-king. Ahbahabam is also extremely similar to the name of legendary priest-king Abraham, the namesake of the worlds largest religious grouping. Probably a coincidence, but quite funny.

Max Clyne

Bonus stat soulstrain says otherwise.

Cirvante

Kudos to Tallhart for discovering the Elder Scrolls Skyrim cheese. His class giving a bonus to equipment stats based on his strength means he can just made a bunch of STR boosting armore, equip it, and then make a more powerful set of +STR armor. Repeat ad infinitum.

Starless

That is not true peeps are gonna be pissed it’s level 24 1 off of 25 and a class upgrade but people will always find a reason to complain

Kain

He also gets bonuses to other stats based on his strength like the other monolithic classes do, like how Rain gets a bonus to his focus based on his clarity

austin kutz

Okay, hold on. Tallheart has over 4k effective Strength? With a +100% class bonus that means he has 2k Strength. At level 37 with a monolithic build he'd have 390 Strength from level ups. His armor's bonus stats increase his Endurance and Recovery, the former of which he can't raise with accolades. That means he gets over 1600 Strength from accolades. He and Snowlilly must have cracked a ton of lairs to get that many high-tier Strength accolades.

Cirvante

Well he probably dug himself in and dodged therefore.

Enkelados

Attract on the crown. Easy.

Starless

Rain is training resistances! Ilea would be proud!

Andrei

About time for a level up, his build needs it!

Håkan Friberg

Bug report Several times the text changes size for some reason. There are like 2-3 random paragraphs that have different sized text than the rest of the chapter.

Ziggy

clap clap stomp clap clap stomp clap clap stomp We will we will No-Va

Fucking finally about time that rain gets a blue to fight

Ignorantmenace

Do monsters have a power threshold at lvl 25 too? If so, they are probably lucky that this one is only 24.

Pyrefiend

At the very least they need to go deeper for Amelia's equipment.

Rheklr

What's wrong with that?

Sadly_streets_behind

Ooo eee ah ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang

Sand Bear

This chapter is really good, but I am kinda worried, that it is a setup for a chapter where they only fight the essence ape. Or maybe Tallheart is gonna show how OP he really is.

Monus

Why do I hear Boss music?

Sadly_streets_behind

Okay, with this it seems Ameliah is a little overconfident after all. Very nice chapter, Ape with kinetic/force magic. Can’t say I've read about a monster like that before.

Tycho Green

Now thats you've said it that's all I can hear... Damn you jaeger!

James Heskett

who else thought of 'we will rock you' at that Oooh! Oooh! AHH! scene?

jaeger972

What a terrible moment to end the chapter! WE NEED MORE!!!

James Heskett

Great chapter, thanks! Having to spend a few hours forting up for lunch sure looks like a good call now :)

Mike G.

If there was then SS could double his money from patreon over night.

L Pedersen

Hypeeee

evyatar

Is there a patron tier that let's me read the next chapter now? 😭

Monomatopoeia

And I thought it'll be around 160! I'm so very glad that I was mistaken!

Михаил Никитин

That right there felt so satisfying. Herp the derp, were just going to go explore some. Wait-what was that? Just a bunch of monkeys, no problem! OMG we were not prepaaaaaaared!!!

Kapelteta

I'm actually happy that the blue was just short of the silver wall. It makes it more likely that Rain will reach a higher level before they return to the surface and I really want his cap to be at least 30 ish. It would be awesome if they could find a blue over 31 so Ameliah also gets to raise her cap but we'll see.

L Pedersen

Good chapter. The blue not even taking any damage from the triplicate meteor is *scary*. Although it sounds like that's due to some skill used defensively as opposed to its actual innate resilience.

Konrad

So. A flying monkey. Wonder what boosts the crown can give?

Eric Hartz

Don't we all, brother. I'm quite ready to read a couple million words of Delve. Each week. ;)

Konrad

And most importantly, he won't get the perfect aura synergy that's coming at 25, nor the specialization. But that's alright. This feels less contrived, and like quite the stroke of luck anyway.

Konrad

I just wish for more chapters

Robert

Sadly it's level 24, so while Rain will boost his cap, he won't get to Silver.

Jac Onue

Feels like a perfect time for an extra release right about now...

Mattias Åkesson

gonna be a long week, like a crack addict jonesing for a fix

Mojanks

Thank you!

Andrew

Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this

Draugluir

And now no one can complain about the progress

Alexander Dupree

Omg the cliff! Thanks! Love it!

kyle

Thanks for the chapter.

Joshua Little

OH MY GOD LEVEL PROGRESSION INCOMING YES YES FINALLY

Ausie Brooks

So next chapter when?

OrangeBasket

I called it, a blue before 150! Let's gooooooooooo!!!!!!

Thransk

Blue!

Jump 'N Shoot Man

Yaaaaaaaay!

Timothy Alexander

Yo a new chapy don’t mind if I do

Ignorantmenace

Thanks for the Chapter

Oh yea thought you could juke me with the late night release, but jokes on you

Tomisgoofy

Wasn't expecting a chapter for another hour, cool!
