[ Once you enter the train, it takes off...moving for only a few moments before coming to a stop in the midst of the void Delriza's realm floats in.

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.

... What should we do?

[ UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

...It sounds simple enough, at least.

If the most traveled paths usually have the most traps, then first, we should take a less popular road.

With our decoy?

You've got an idea, then?

I spent months hiding in the woods. [ So, sort of, yes. It's kind of something she sort of knows, at least. ] But I've only half my magic compared to then...

... I'm not at full, either, but I've got fire and lightning back.

I have some shielding spells and revealing that I could use. And moving objects to trigger anything before we enter an area.

. . .

I can control animals, but, that might not be the most useful thing.

[Nods.]

So we can fight our way through, if it comes to it...

Hmm... Our decoy should go ahead of us, with us passing through once they've made it past safely.

We'll need to check for any traps and try to deal with them anyway, but it should help.

I wouldn't say it's not useful. We don't know what kind of things lie in the forest or even if they've put dangerous animals in there. It's a viable skill to have.

Animals might have seen where they laid traps...

Yes, I'd say we have plenty of defensive and offensive methods in the worse case scenario.

[Nods.]

That sounds right.

... But I don't know if that's any good. If it comes to fighting, we might have already lost, with all this talk of her dying.

That's what shields and disarming traps are for before hand. We'll have to be diligent and keep an eye on the surroundings. If we're not prepared for any scenario it's already lost.

Then I'll stay with our knight. If it comes down to it, I can try to keep her from running into the fight.

[Nods.]

Any other ideas...?

[since, you know, i'm not coming up with shit on my own today]

True. . .

I can do the animal guide thing, then, if we need to.

Can you?
