Frost wasn't under danger of the giant meteor though. He was some distance away relaying orders.

[Milbunk]

Right right, well that is a pretty big thing anyway though I should bring it up.

[lantzblades]

Actually Alice Tsukasa was clearly standing in the doorway a couple posts ago so you're wrong.

Arch guns do nothing and I wasn't talking about blade source material

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Then why is he asking for heavily armed extraction teams when guns won't do shit to vampires?

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

More like heavily armed DIStraction team

you know, for him to run away when everything goes wrong

hue hue

Yep, because there's no way he can pull this off.

[Elf]

Well, technically Angel is a weaksauce vampire . . .

[lantzblades]

Guns are useless against paper masters Arch, vampires are able to be hurt though.

and Names is right about distraction team. He only needs two guys to carry the body.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

I doubt guns are useless. You just need to be using more dakka. And then there's all these other wonderful things you can do as a vampire, which makes the whole issue with the paper master irrelevant, as when you can look at someone and hack into their mind without a word, or summon phantams and all this other wonderful shit, a paper master is horribly outclassed.

For that matter, Jack has such an advantage over him it isn't even funny. Ever tried to fight a pack of feral dogs hopped up on Vampire Blood and possessing resilience? No? Do you want to?

[lantzblades]

Yeah, no arch sorry

[Arch-Magos Winter]

I don't care how much paper you have, when you bust out the flamethrowers and machineguns, you simply can't survive. The kinetic energy of impact alone would freaking murder you eventually.

[Alice]

The flamethrower bit makes me think of something... couldn't all the paper just be set on fire? It is paper after all, and paper's kinda flammable last time I checked.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Paper is very flammable. Lights rather easy. A civilian flamethrower or for that matter, any flamethrower will set it the hell off.

And then there's the fact that flamethrowers often use napalm or gelled gasoline. So it'll stick to you while it burns you to death.

White Phosphorus shells do the same thing, so remember, if you absolutely positively need something burned to nothing, use Wiley Pete.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, sure, but there could be something that means RoD paper users aren't vulnerable to that. I'd imagine it'd be a fairly obvious weakness, after all....

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Against White Phosphorus?  PFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You can't put that shit out. At all.

For that matter, it's probably because it isn't easy to make a decent flamethrower or obtain one. Paper users probably never really run up against them much, but if they do they're fucked. Napalm sticks to everything and just keeps burning. So does WP.

And if the sheer heat doesn't kill you, smoke inhalation and lack of oxygen will.
