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. ]

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

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.

Well, first we should decide whether to play any cards or wait. I would rather wait. What do you think?

[ how to save your girlfriend huh ]

[ that doesn't sound suspicious or anything ]

Could we not go on foot through the most dangerous part of the forest, off of the path?

I agree. There is no point in using them just yet.

Or, it does say that the rogues target the most frequently traveled roads... Why not pick another route?

Is there a reason we have to go through the forest? They do not stretch forever. We could simply go around the forest.

And if our magician specializes in explosion magic, perhaps we could have him enchant a carriage to send through the woods without any passengers. When they attack it, it could explode and injure them.

Though it would be a shame to lose a horse, I suppose, and if they specialize in ranged combat it would have to be a powerful spell indeed to reach them.

Rogues that target the most frequently traveled roads are dumbasses. Go around.

Better a horse than your trusted associates. I'm sure that someone who specializes in explosive magic could manage a rather...large explosion. But we have to be careful -- the forest will catch. We could all burn.

[ thinking... ]

But if we left earlier than the time we had originally planned, in secret and in disguise, we could fool them. Then send the carriage at the appointed time, and we should be well out of the way should the fire cause a disaster.

They seem rather low class, don't they? I thought rogues had better sense than this.

I'm offended at how stupid they are.

They're giving you a bad name. You should go teach them how it's done.

Ah, I hadn't considered the possibility of fire. That's true enough.

Perhaps we could go through ourselves, but instruct the warriors to go through after the explosion. Then they could deal with the rogues while they're still injured from the blast, and take care of any fire that's started.

That sounds like an even better plan. We should ask if we're capable of fighting, ourselves. Also, is a priestess a magical healer?

[ what sort of responsible princess can't use a sword, really ]

Later.

I'd rather punch them for thinking they can get away with being stupid.

I do not know what a priestess is, but we should be capable of fighting.

[she brought her sword and everything]

Delriza, are you able to answer our question about the priestess, and whether we can fight?

[ Oh, I have two swords and a bow, we are prepared. ]

Do that first, then. If they don't die.

[ YOU GET NO RESPONSE

But you do suddenly understand that the priestess is a healer, but not a magical one. And you can most certainly fight, but remember that you are the princess and your loyal knight likely won't let you fight alone. ]

[ i tell the knight to fuck herself then, this relationship is over -- I MEAN ]

Then...we should keep the priestess with us. If there is an accident, she can potentially help us.

If.

It sounds like everything's going to explode.

[ SHRUG ]

What if they decide to put our actual loved ones in the place of this knight? I'd rather blow everything up than let that possibility happen.

Also...blowing things up is amusing. Do you have a preference as to who gets this point?

I agree. If the objective is to keep the knight safe, I think we should go around the forest before the explosion.
