There's still no sign of the echo herself, but fortunately it's at this point that the rules of the game burn themselves into your mind, like you always knew what you were supposed to be coming here for. ]

RULES

[soulping]

WELCOME TO GIRLFRIEND SAVING SIMULATOR 2014.

In this game, you will attempt to save your girlfriend. A scenario will be presented to you each round, and you will discuss among yourselves and try to present a solution that you as a team believe will result in your girlfriend not dying. You are allowed to use anything described in the scenario as well as any skills or powers you may possess as part of your solution. Once it is turned in, you will receive your result at the end of the round.

In addition, you have in your possession the MOON card and WHEEL OF FORTUNE card.

Playing the MOON card must be done at the beginning of the round, and will erase the current scenario and give you a new one. The WHEEL OF FORTUNE card must also be played at the beginning of the round, and will instantly result in a complete success for the round but cause one other random team to fail.

IN EVEN MORE ADDITION, each team begins with one fate point. At the end of each round, you must, along with turning in your solution, choose a team or teams to send at least one fate point to (for example, you must always send one, but if you have more than that you do not have to send all of them. If you have three, you can keep one, send one to one team, and send one to another team). For each fate point a team has, the harder their scenario will be.

BUCKLE UP

ROUND 1

[soulping]

You are a princess, and your most loyal knight will be accompanying you on a journey through the Rogue's Wood. You are travelling to the castle of an enemy while on a mission of peace. You are extremely confident that you will be safe, yourself, but that's only because you know she will absolutely sacrifice herself to ensure your survival.

You don't want that.

The rogues of the wood most often employ ranged weapons, and usually lay traps on the most traveled paths through the wood such as caltrops or bladed traps designed for crippling horses, or magical bombs designed to damage carriages beyond use, before firing on those who do not surrender from the trees and brush.

You are taking with you, aside from your knight, a decoy carriage with your court magician, who specializes in EXPLOSION MAGIC, a priestess, and five additional warriors.

Re: ROUND 1

[robitussin]

Well, that's kind of shitty.

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

...What an odd game.

...

Sending the loyal knight with the decoy carriage would probably have the highest likelihood of everyone surviving.

Re: ROUND 1

[robitussin]

How do you figure?

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

Presumably they would have a reputation as being our Most Loyal Knight, so it would be assumed the decoy was real.

The Princess passes through while the decoy, which has a mage, a healer, and many warriors deals with the bad guys.

Re: ROUND 1

[robitussin]

Fair enough. I don't really know shit about this kind of thing.

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

I'd be a lot more useful if I remembered all my training...

Who should we send a fate point too?

Re: ROUND 1

[robitussin]

Alectryon.

Re: ROUND 1

[letstalk]

Aren't we supposed to be protecting the knight, though...

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

The knight would be protected.

Cause instead of being attacked by themselves, they'd be with everyone else!

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

..That sounds like you have a grudge.

Re: ROUND 1

[letstalk]

But then in that case everyone should just go together, right?

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

Making the bad guys split up would probably make it safer for everyone, though..

[He stops to think.]

....

Is anyone particularly attached to the forest.

Re: ROUND 1

[letstalk]

The people who live in it?

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

Aren't the people who live in it the rogues who want to kill us and our girlfriend?

Re: ROUND 1

[robitussin]

Hey, you asked.

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

Well, it works for me. I don't even know anyone on that team.

Re: ROUND 1

[robitussin]

Sounds good, then.

Re: ROUND 1

[letstalk]

That doesn't mean we should burn down their home! That's mean, isn't it?

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

They want to kill us! Isn't that way meaner?

Re: ROUND 1

[letstalk]

You can't fix people being mean by being mean back!

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

...

[Well, he's got me there.]

...How about this.

You can sit in front of the carriage and use you fire on the road.

That should set off any traps before we get to them!

Re: ROUND 1

[letstalk]

O-kay!
