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

[whoslaughingmeow]

Could have the magician burn everything. No trees, nobody hiding in the trees.

[This isn't real, my uncontrollable immorality is already setting in.]

Re: ROUND 1

[menially]

And also possibly riots and war if that spreads too far.

Re: ROUND 1

[unguilded]

You're fast enough that a jog through the general vicinity won't give anybody nearby enough time to hide.

Re: ROUND 1

[menially]

[The prettiest princesses.]

This would be a lot easier if we could figure out who the rogues would prioritize...

Re: ROUND 1

[unguilded]

[ Taps his chin. ]

We should save the moon card for when we get a couple of fate points and come across something questionable, and the wheel of fortune for if we en up with a lot of fate points later on in the game.

As for sending out our own, I'm assuming we go with sending them off to teams that aren't close to us. So we can either pick a different one each round, or focus on one.

And, aside from what we have with us here, we've got quite a bit of our own skill to get through this!

Re: ROUND 1

[menially]

I'm fine with dealing with that as we come to it. No need to waste anything.

Too bad Belt isn't here. This would be a piece of cake for her.

Re: ROUND 1

[powerpunch]

[ The most awkward feeling considering he actually does have a girlfriend. ]

Sounds like y'all got a plan already.

Re: ROUND 1

[unguilded]

Does it all sound okay to you?

Re: ROUND 1

[whoslaughingmeow]

You can throw people around!

Re: ROUND 1

[unguilded]

Also, hey, Delriza, if you can hear us!

Are you allowed to tell us how many rounds there are?

And, everybody playing from Kyriakos itself, is it possible for them to really get hurt if the scenarios get harder along the way?

Re: ROUND 1

[soulping]

[ there is no response.

but you understand that nobody will get hurt, and there will be as many rounds as is necessary.

(for what, who knows) ]

TURN-IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN-IN

[menially]

One (1) fate point will be sent to BARGHEST.

Leo is using his SUPER RUNNING SPEED first (GOTTA GO FAST) as well as his ENHANCED SENSE OF SMELL to scout the surrounding area for ambushes and try to see if there are any areas slightly off of the main path to maybe veer toward to in an attempt to avoid traps.

From there, mages will pinpoint any ambushes Leo finds to EXPLODE THEM.

TWO soldiers are leading the carriage while the rest stay behind. Rook and Technic will use TECHNICAL SKILLS to disable any traps they may find ahead of the carriage, as well as accompany SWOOP, the remaining THREE soldiers, and the KNIGHT in picking off any stragglers. Technic has FIGHTING SKILLS, Rook has FIGHTING SKILLS and GUILD STRENGTH, and Swoop has ENHANCED STRENGTH.

The priestess will idk pray for our souls during this whole adventure.

ROUND 2

[soulping]

You have 1 fate points.

You're rafting with a friend, but suddenly the river becomes treacherous. You lose your paddles, and the rapids are quickly pulling you towards a waterfall. You're directly in the center of the river, which is wide enough for a ship to pass through, and both banks are thickly wooded.

She offers to try to toss you to shore.

Since.

You know, she's apparently strong enough to do that. You definitely aren't, though.

Re: ROUND 2

[whoslaughingmeow]

..Do we have any way to deal with this?

Re: ROUND 2

[powerpunch]

...So uh, I don't know how to swim.

[Would it matter in this hypothetical scenario though....]

TURN-IN

[soulping]

OH MY GOD DO WE TRY

[unguilded]

Rook uses his EXTENDO SWORD to pierce something over by the shore (like a rock or a tree)-- something he can get a good anchor with. He uses his GUILD STRENGTH to hold the fuck on to that sword, while Swoop uses his own STRENGTH to hold onto Leo as Leo plops into the water to use his SUPER SPEED to kick his little legs SUPER FAST against the current like a motor and try to move the boat toward the shore. As they move along, Technic uses his OWN SWORD to anchor into closer things, like rocks for a bit of extra leverage and to help Rook hang onto the weight from the pounding river pushing them back. Girlfriend is staying low in the boat to be safe from any jolts or pushes from the water while they all use TEAMWORK to try and get them all to shore.

Re: TURN-IN

[unguilded]

ALSO OOPS OUR FATE POINT we decided on Vanara! Sending them the 1 point we have.

ROUND 3

[soulping]

You have 0 fate points.

You're a princess. Again.

She's a dragon, and has kidnapped you. But you want to stay. However, an army is being sent to storm her mountain and save you. You have at your disposal her entire hoard (composed of every shiny thing you could possibly imagine), and of course, her. Your parents have already shown they will not listen to reason on this matter. They want you back, no matter the cost.

Re: ROUND 3

[whoslaughingmeow]

I.. am at a loss, here.

Unless we just flat out exterminate the army.

TURN-IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN-IN

[whoslaughingmeow]

With the HOARD, we will hire ROUGH AND THICK-NECKED MERCENARIES and instruct them to bring a bunch of LANTERN OIL when they come to help us.

Once the ARMY arrives, the ROUGH AND THICK-NECKED MERCENARIES will engage them, bottle necking them to in front of the DRAGON'S LAIR where we will have spread LANTERN OIL.

Once they are successfully corralled, our bae will use her FIRE BREATH to burn the opposing army to cinders with the help of the lantern oil.
