( roots twist around your legs to yank through the swamp water into. . . oh yes, another swamp. wonderful!! everyone loves the swamp! at least there is civilisation here. you've found yourself in a quaint little village with a fancy new set of duds and. . .?

ah, yes. this stranger that you immediately recognise as your squad captain. )

ROUND 1

[soulping]

( your squad captain, a young elven man, leads you into a hut with a "⏅" symbol above the door and all of the tapestries and flags are BLUE. on the table there are several weapons laid out onto a table. there are swords and shields, bows and arrows, and magic staves. )

Before you explore the village, decide on how you wish to arm yourself. This is a warzone and I suggest you not go unarmed, but you must all be unified on your decision.

[...well. At least this feels familiar.]

Twin daggers, please?

Re: ROUND 1

[feytality]

Um.... what about fancy cloaking speed armor or something?

[peeking at the staves]

Re: ROUND 1

[barehands]

Weapons...? I'm not sure that's such a good idea!

Re: ROUND 1

[tormado]

...

[Big sigh.]

Got a mace?

[featherduster]

[ Uh

He's not reaching for any of these gomen ]

... War with who?

Re: ROUND 1

[nodo]

I'll take a sword.

[ Not used to broadswords but hey, a sword is a sword. ]

Re: ROUND 1

[weaponvexed]

[because he wasn't heavy enough]

And one of your options is a stick?

Re: ROUND 1

[sweatypalms]

[ testing out these shiny new duds, the hell is all this for???

also, this is a no-brainer: ]

Swords, duh!

Re: ROUND 1

[ladychapels]

[ where are the guns.

she pulls the helmet off—hair already sticking to her forehead with sweat—and picks up a sword in one hand. inspects it. puts it back down. ]

Warzone?

Re: ROUND 1

[appleofhiseye]

[not touching a weapon]

...Do you have medical supplies?

Re: ROUND 1

[unlimitedcoffee]

[ Warzone, huh... ]

I'm guessing we're not using fancy words and magic rainbows to deal out damage this time.

Re: ROUND 1

[primetimehero]

What are the sticks for?

[ CHECKIN' STAVES OUT ]

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

ATTENTION, GUYS.

Should probably just get all the votes in hand so we can figure out what we're taking with us and you guys can properly yell each other into submission until we've got something unanimous. Also? Introductions. I'll start.

My name's Pearl. I'm good with whatever.

ROUND 1 - DECISION

[soulping]

Re: ROUND 1 - DECISION

[sweatypalms]

SWORDS AND SHIELDS.

ROUND 2

[soulping]

We have intel that the village will be attacked at nightfall from one of our scouts. We are unsure which one may be but both the Red and and Green armies are camped nearby. We are unable to predict what tactics they may use against us. As a unit, I ask that you all agree on what you shall do to protect both yourselves and those that live within the village.

I am sorry, but please use your best judgement.

Will you erect a barrier using my talismans, assign four soldiers to guard the entrances to the village, or shall you take the first strike and engage them head on? You may only use the talismans only once.

Re: ROUND 2

[primetimehero]

Protect the place. Right? That's the important part!

1/2

[feytality]

[looking super uncomfortable with her sward for a moment]

Re: ROUND 2

[weaponvexed]

Not a whole lot of room to come up with our own ideas, huh.

ROUND 2 - DECISION

[soulping]

Re: ROUND 2 - DECISION

[ladychapels]

They're going to guard. Tama, Panther, Vash and Caracal will guard the entrances to the village from just inside so it looks as though they aren't waiting for a fight. The others will keep watch, fortify what they can however they can, and prepare to execute a diplomatic, non-fatal resolution if anyone does attack.

...hopefully.

ROUND 3

[soulping]

( you assign guards to protect the entrances of the village, however enterprising individuals have decided to take advantage of the situation by donning GREEN and sneaking into the village. any attempts to talk it out have failed.

each one of your guards have been stabbed somewhere by a sword. the strike against TAMA, however, has proven fatal, the sword running right through them. once again, you must decide how to defend the village. )

[jesus]

No--!

ROUND 3 - DECISIONS

[soulping]

Re: ROUND 3 - DECISIONS

[ladychapels]

TALISMANNING IT UP, YO

and hunting down any attackers still on the inside to KO them (non-lethally)

ROUND 4

[soulping]

( the talismans are placed and effectively protect the village from any outside attacks from the other armies. however, it does very little to protect against any harm from those already inside the limits of the barrier.

you succeed in knocking out most of the bandits, leaving them victim to your whims, however not before one sets fire to one of the buildings. considering the location and materials that the houses of made of, the fire begins to rapidly spread.

looks like your original options are out the window, how will you save the village now? )

ROUND 4 - DECISION

Re: ROUND 4 - DECISION

[sweatypalms]

WE ARE:

EVACUATING TOWNSPEOPLE FROM THEIR HOMES

USING OUR SHIELDS AS BUCKETS TO DOUSE THE FLAMES WITH SWAMP WATER

AND RUNNING??? TO THE PARTS OF THE VILLAGE THAT AREN'T ON FIRE.
