This broad, paved boulevard runs across the city and is the main artery for

two lanes separated by a ribbon of grass. The grassy lane is interspersed
by great oak trees. Two sections of road enclose the breath of green, each
road wide enough to allow for carts to pass eachother.

Machin does lots of damage if you stand in its room, so that is intended. Hard to tell from these logs how quickly that is happening. If it’s truly back-to-back with zero time in between then let me know (I haven’t seen this when I’ve used the Ways yet). Otherwise, moving slowly through the Ways with Machin on you should be treacherous.

Judging by the lack of any command/prompt, that looks like it all happened in 1 pulse, which is ridiculous. It is triple/quad hitting without any chance to do anything in between.

Not sure how I feel about this, so long as it isn't actually a coding error.

I fly through the Ways and have never been hit by more than one burst of emote damage. It makes sense to me that sitting in the room with him should be deadly from a theme and balance PoV.

Seems to me that Draz is kind of slow moving through the Ways (Note: Not talking dung, I appreciate being cautious when responsible for a large group). Throw in the emote damage possibly firing off more frequently as a function of the number of people in the room, which I've seen happen with Granlin, worms, etc. and we have the contents of this log?

It was about a second in the first room
A half second in the next
At least two seconds in the last room (there is a delay while waiting for pull leaf to go through) but she was dead before that.

Yes I check exits and don't rely on spams; I had people pretty much lay down the law when I DTd a group - I'm not willing to do it again.

I mean in this case we were on a track I know, I knew where I was going, ok I get that I lag but seriously

But yes the prompts show the multiple bursts were instant

This is fixed.

The black wind can still hit you 2x in rapid succession depending on timing of its random room damage, if it is actively chasing you from room to room. But it will no longer do 3-4 hits.
