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.

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

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

[The prettiest princesses.]

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

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

[ 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!

And also maybe ourselves and our girlfriend if the fire spreads too much.

The goal is for our girlfriend to survive, not prevent a war.

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

I could definitely do that.

[Burning is fun tho..]

Knowing the situations these games have put us in before, though, how likely is it that one will lead to the other? Start a fire, start a war, that war eventually leads to the death of your knight as she protects you from the mobs... [Shrugs.] Who knows. I could be wrong, but that seems kind of drastic.

Unless one of us has some sort of barrier magic, I don't think I'd risk that.

..Well, I could zip through the forest since I have my reflexes back, and check for any ambushes.

I wouldn't either. Plus! We have to take into consideration how we go about succeeding. The hows might count toward a few points, too.

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.

It'll give us a good idea for which way to head, too, if we need to suddenly change direction.

Out of the three of us, you'd probably have the best advantage there. You'd have to be careful.

As far as traps go, as long as we have a way to spot more technical ones, I think I could disable them. It would mean a slower pace, but if it gets us there safely, it's still an option.

Magical traps... mn, not sure what to do about those.

Yeah, it's better to consider those options when things get a little harder. So we'll hang onto them!

And don't look so down on yourself or on the rest of us. We can do this just fine!

...We could have the mage clear the roads, at least.

An explosion in the road every so often could set them off prematurely.

Right.

Well, Leo seems alright with scouting. And as far as traps go, as long as we kept an eye out, I could disable anything technical. It's the magical ones that I'm not sure how to deal with.

The traps are on the more traveled paths, so maybe we can diverge a bit, depending on what Leo sees on his run. We can still keep an eye out for them, but if it sounds like there are less of them off of the paths, maybe taking a short detour could be a good thing.

Oi, oi, didn't say anything like that. I'd be an idiot if I didn't realize we're all pretty clever.

Just appreciating Belt's shadow abilities when we'll be in a heavily shadowed place, is all. Call it...mnn, an envious spark of creativity.

It definitely wouldn't hurt, though the chance for an ambush might be greater if we wander too often.

So I'll be the scout and see what's ahead.

I should be able to keep from getting caught or shot or anything.
