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.

Send that decoy in and have the warriors follow it to pick off any little shitstain rogues that go after the carriage and fail to get blown up.

[SUPER CALMLY:]

If they attack us, we kill them.

The decoy carriage is certainly the most useful item in this scenario, yeah.

We should put the warriors on point. We don't want anyone to get suspicious of what's in that carriage.

-Send fate point to Tiamat

-Send decoy carriage with magician to the main path, in order to make explosions to start a fire where the rogues are. HOWEVER, do this in a way that frames the rogues, specifically, that they're using fire traps on unsuspecting travelers and it backfired on them and burned their forest and killed them!!!

-Everyone else goes down a secluded, unused path, away from the fire, to safety. If Tora can, she'll use her artes to shield everyone with Barrier just in case there are traps or anything else.

Edited 2014-09-10 23:55 (UTC)

You make it through successfully, BURNING DOWN THE ENTIRE FOREST AND BLAMING IT ON THE ROGUES, YOU RUDE PEOPLE.

However, the mission itself doesn't go well...but everything seems fine. For a few years, until war is declared anyway.

Your knight dies on the battlefield, defending your honour.

You receive 30 POINTS.

You have 2 fate points.

War is afoot.

You are the captain of a ship, and while at sea you encounter two other, unidentified ships. They are not flying a flag, and while they are definitely foriegn, you can't be sure if they are pirates, armed merchants, or from an enemy country.

Your ship is a small frigate, faster than either of the ships ahead, but less armed. You have everything onboard that you normally would, including schooners in case an escape is needed...though you are at open sea, so who knows how well that'll go.

Your first mate has offered, however, to take a rowboat out to parley with the other ships. ...She's fairly precious to you, and you would much rather not allow her to take such a risk.

Edited 2014-09-11 00:12 (UTC)

[can we set them on fire, too]

...Can we run away? Let's run away.

Where can we go?

Go yourself to do it.

We keep our first mate on board and send our next highest-ranking officer to parlay. If it's an enemy ship we surrender. If it's pirates, we engage in a firefight and then sneak off with our girlfriend in a schooner.

We use both our fate points on Ometotchtli.

It's pirates, and you engage in a firefight with them, but your first mate is grievously wounded by shrapnel as you make your escape.

...You get away, but you only have the next few days to spend with her as she slowly dies before you manage to find another friendly ship to pick you and her corpse up.

You receive 20 POINTS.

Re: TURN-IN

fightorflight - 2014-09-11 01:46 (UTC) - Expand

You have 3 fate points.

You both are in a concrete room, each with one gun, feeling unbearable amounts of pain from an unknown source. It's like all your nerves are on fire. You know you won't die until one of you kills the other.

She's begging you to kill her.

Who shoots first?

Edited 2014-09-11 01:51 (UTC)

Me. First her, then myself.

[.....]

We were supposed to protect her.

We're playing our Wheel of Fortune card and sending all three points to Takshaka.

You did it.

You saved her.

...But now you're fading away. You'll never see her again, now. After all, you had to wake up eventually.

You receive 30 POINTS.
