There is but one goal.. Amass a fortune to build a universe
Welcome to a world of neverending darkness. Surrounding you is a sea of "Sleepers" - Beings such as yourself who have not yet woken. You are completely naked. You have no tools. There are no structures. There is only darkness above, darkness below, and darkness as far as the eye can see.
Death has no power here and thus life holds no meaning. If ever you are attacked, you may die, but can return at any time to exact revenge.
Roll using dice+1d10 in options box
-Player Characters-
================
Awoken - Blessed by A Distant Star with a singular ability. The Awoken can conjure up to two equips (one for each hand) from memory. They are able to use items but their natural abilities never improve. Extremely gear dependant. Begin with one <3. Limitless inventory. Killing an awoken awards the killer with a Tealight Token. Loses all additional <3s upon death. Only the awoken may pray to A Distant Star, and if they roll an 8 they may be blessed with a response.
Fire Eye+0 - Eyes of a great dimensional beast trying to tear its way into this realm. Their natural prowess in offense grows with every two kills (2nd kill increases hit parameter from 1-3 to 1-4, 4th kill increases parameter from 1-4 to 1-4 + 8's). They are unable to use items or gear but can use successful dodge rolls to disengage and close up at any time, rendering themselves untargettable and unable to target until reopening. They begin with two <3s, and gain another <3 every 3 kills. No inventory. Max rank +6. At rank 6 they can shed a Lava Tear and be reborn as a Fire Imp+3.
Fire Imp+0 - Offspring of Fire Eyes. Their natural prowess in both offense and defense grow evenly with every kill (hit parameter increases from 1-3 to 1-4 on first kill, dodge parameter henceforth includes 1s on second kill). They are unable to use gear, but are able to steal gear with a successful roll (Success = 2/4/6/8, Fail = 1/3/5/7/9/0 - Failures count as a fumble). They begin with one <3, and gain another @ 3 kills. Can use items. Limitless inventory. Max Rank +3
Shadow Person+0 - Offspring of the Hat Men. Their natural prowess in defense grows with every two kills (2nd kill henceforth allows 1's to contribute to dodge rolls, 4th kill henceforth allows 9's to contribute to dodge rolls). They are unable to use items but can use one piece of gear. All other items they acquire must be discarded or left behind, rendering them free for the taking. They begin with one <3 and gain another every two kills. Max rank +4. Can use two pieces of gear at rank 4.
Ranks are acquired through kills. One kill = one rank up.
Please report your acquired stats/items/gear from previous threads at the beginning of every new thread for the sake of simplicity.
-Combat-
========
Initial Strikes - The first attack in a bout or the attack used to strike an opponent who has fumbled. The standard hit parameter are digits 1-3, with 4-9 & 0 equalling a miss. If you hit, your opponent must dodge roll. If you miss, you have fumbled and can disengage but cannot attack again until your opponent has done so. Hits are only valid if posted with three complete sentences.
Disengage - Disengage posts must be four complete sentences detailing your getaway AND must be posted before the defending anon strikes back. Odd #'s & 0's are successes. If you fail a disengage you have failed completely and must wait for your opponent to either attack or ignore your antics.
Dodging - After being attacked you have the opportunity to make a dodge roll. Even #s equate a successful roll. Odd #s mean you failed the roll and are struck. Successfully rolling leads into an immediate counter, and your opponent must now make a dodge roll. Successful dodge rolls must be two complete sentences long.
Autohit Counter - Counters and critical strikes rolled into one. If you roll a 0 during a dodge you managed to pull off an Autohit Counter. Your opponent cannot dodge this attack and their life is reduced to nothing.
Strikes always reduce an enemies <3 total by only 1 unless Autohit applies.
Rules of Engagement -
1) If attacked by multiple opponents you need not make a dodge roll against all attacks. One successful roll against any of your attackers successful hits nullifies the remaining hits, but you can only counter against a single enemy. The remaining enemies can either disengage or attack again, but the same rules apply.
Ex - A Distant Star dodges one of two hits from two opponents and chooses opponent A to counter. Opponent B attacks again alongside opponent A (who successfully dodged and countered). A Distant Star then successfully dodges As attack but changes her counter target to opponent B. Opponent B fails his check and dies, but A attacks again. A Distant Star must now make a dodge roll against A.
2) If you fail a dodge roll, ALL HITS AGAINST YOU STRIKE.
Ex - Fire Eye+6 fails a dodge against three opponents. It is struck three times. If it is hit one more time, it dies.
3) All hearts are restored to the victor after combat.
4) Upon dying, you must give up a single item to the victor. All other items in your inventory are returned to darkness (gone completely). Only two items returned to darkness can be reconjured. Any item left behind cannot be conjured again until you reacquire the item.

-Summons & Drops-
=============
The following creatures can be summoned via Tealight Tokens. Once summoned, the necessary amount of tokens are removed from the inventory and each Summon follows standard combat rules. Every Summon comes with a set amount of <3s and the summoner must roll for himself as well as the Summon. If the summoner dies or disengages against a Summon they are unsummoned.
Ex - A Distant Star summons a Skeleton and rolls a 4. This counts as a fumble. A Distant Star then posts the attack roll of the NPC and reacts accordingly (either with a dodge, or if the NPC fumbles, an attack)
( Every <3 requires a Tealight Token )
Fire Lord <3 <3 - imp wing on autohit counter, matches by default
Fire Eye <3 <3 - tent on autohit counter, gloves by default
Shadow Person <3 - dog bowl by default, gloves on autohit counter
Ent <3 <3 - building mats x2 by default

- Structures -
===========
Structures supply some afk defense while you're away doing other things. The downside is that they can be burned down by with matches via burn attempts. Burning only succeeds if the player rolls a 3, 6, or 9..8's will ignite the anon on fire resulting in death, and all other rolls simply use the item up.
Tent : Requires Building Materials x2
(Owner + 1 Untargettable by 1 enemy, targettable by 2 or more)
Cottage: Requires Building Materials x3, or Tent x1 & Building Materials x1
(Owner + 2 Untargettable by 2 or fewer enemies, targettable by 3 or more)
Cabin: Requires Cottage x1 & Building Materials x2
(Owner + 3 Untargettable by 4 or fewer enemies, targettable by 5 or more)
Fort: Requires Cabin x1, Cottage x1, & Building Materials x4
(Owner & All Inside are untargettable. Cannot be burned down.)
Do we start with fresh characters for this one with blank slates?
>>178071
I'm voting for us doing this.
Not getting a new character.
>>178081
I mean we start with our initial equipment.
>>178052
Let me go ahead and just make machetes unable to be broken down by tinkerers tools (:
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>178041
okay! let's DO THIS!
Item
Rifle (repaired)
Tinkerer's kit
also roll for prayer.
>>178101
I'm all for you bringing your characters from the last thread over. It doesn't bother me either way. If you want to change equips you can, if you don't Idk. If you want to start fresh or continue or, go for it. I'm absolutely apathetic. You can start with your initial equips from before or choose new ones now.
>>178102
what! That's like a complete negation of my tools :(
>>178041
I'll just roll a new character I used to be knight.
I AWAKEN
I wake up with a double barrel shotgun and a full head covering helmet.
When last we left to noble king and his latest subjects, they were setting out in search of building materials. Perhaps they'll find some.
>1 backpack nuclear device
>1 Uzi
>1 bottles flame
>1 flea cape
>1 breastplate
>>178123
But only on machetes. Not like i would leave them for you to just make shit with continuously anyways
>>178131
Oh and
>1 tent at camp
>>178122
I awaken, Scorpion Tail and Twin Scorpion Gauntlets.
Knight, the distant star suddenly sudders, may it be a good or a bad omen it would still be wise to keep our eyes up. Be on your guard.
Rolled 14 (1d100)
>>178122
progress for the search of things in the darkness
>>178123
You're still able to break literally everything but machetes down into materials for buildings. Even bottled flames. That's op.
>>178126
Good taste.
WELP GANG, you're the chosen few to pioneer this realm to greatness. From this point onward I'll just be stopping by to respond to prayers, lead NPC attacks every 6 hours or so, and detail fresh weapon stats. Keep up with your gear and try not to slaughter eachother. I'm gonna get back to really refining the formula on wordpad.
I'll be watching (: You all have a Tealight Token in your inventory btw. Pool em together and you could take on some summons. Summoner gets the drops.
>>178091
>Machete
>Hockey Mask
>Not yet revived in new thread and will be gone until tonight or tomorrow
>>178151
*a last is cast down upon your frame*
Now, let's see.. You've been earnestly trying to get my attention for a while now (: I'll have to give you something really special for all that effort.
*the light intensifies and then fades away, leaving a stick of dynamite in your inventory*
>>178193
I saw a figure in the darkness moving around aimlessly, I leave the company of the knight to follow it.
>>178193
A fine plan, Sergeant. But I'm not entirely sure what kind of cottage could be built from bubblegum and coffee grounds.
It would be better to summon mimics instead.
Come, tinkerer. We must return to camp.
>>178230
Wait, I saw a silhouette of something, it seems to be human but it moves irregularly.
>>178243
(I say we act like you were never a knight in the first place and retcon that entire RP)
>>178248
But that was why he joined you.
>>178248
(Sounds good, its just playing a knight felt real boring for some reason.)
>>178252
Yeah, but poor RP practice aside, I imagine we'd just do the same interaction over again if we acted like we were meeting for the first time. It's easier this way.
>>178268
okay sure, so restart all interaction?
Oh no..."
A man in his early thirties Wakes, clutching a SpellBook and his Wizard Robes(complete with stylish hat!)
"Oh god, oh no, whats going on!?"
>>178276
No, that's what I'm saying, it's too tedious. Just pretend like he was always a marine and we can just keep going like nothing happened.
The alternative is the knight vanishes into thin air and the marine shows up, and we talk to him. I guess it's up to him.
>>178290
You would say that, it makes no difference to you.
Let's just go back to camp and kill some mimics.
>>178280
Just pretend I was always the marine, it'd be easier than starting over. Not like I really had anything other than my starting items since I was killed by that guy.
>>178296
There. Settled.
Now men, we have real work to do.
>>178295
Except I have dynamite. :^)
Thr man looks around him. Is that a King? Some type of Scorpiongirl? Who is this beefy warrior, or the man with many tools?
Holding his Wizard cap as he leans back to observe the sky, he spots a prominant star...
"Help me be safe, please! Im so scared!"
>>178299
Alright then, lets get to summoning these mimics.
>>178326
you old man, this isn't a place for lanky poor sods to be alone.
Arriving back at the camp, I pull a single tealight token from beneath my cape, and hold it up to inspect. I look to the sides, to my subjects. My uzi hangs in my right hand, ready for battle.
"Are you both ready?"
>>178345
*not necessarily both if the tinkerer is off talking to randoms. The marine and I can handle it if need be.
>>178343
I don't know how I got here at all, I'm afraid to say!
What a-a-are you d-d-doing? Can I h-h-help!?
>>178243
*a light is cast upon you*
For your astute observations of my disastrous carelessness in world forming, I bestow upon you some bubblegum!
Aaand coffee grounds can no longer be broken down into building materials. Bubblegum can! But not coffee grounds.
>>178252
If you wanted two scorpion blades I'll leave the function basically the same as the scorp tail but give them 2 free strikes that take effect after turns three and five, respectively.
>>178278
Robes count as a chest piece without the additional <3, and your spellbook lets you cast spells that function like standard explosives without having to dodge roll.
And I forgot to edit this info when I transfered from notepad to wordpad..
Standard explosives can hit up to two enemies and is used to destroy forts. They follow the same procedure as burn attempts if used on forts.
>>178392
What is a free strike?
>>178345
Just waiting for you to summon it. Then we can slay these beings and create a proper home
>>178435
"I-I-I have mastered the art of the E-e-explosion! What needs b-b-blowing up?"
>>178444
You know, wizard, he's only king to one who doesn't exist anymore.
>>178441
I eye the other newcomer suspiciously.
"I'll deal with you later."
>>178444
"You don't look great and powerful...still, things aren't what they seem..."
I think for a moment.
"I think I shall devise a test for you. If you pass, you shall become my court wizard. I could use one of those.
You say you can blow things up? Then that will be the test."
I whisper "mimic" to the tealight token, and throw it to your feet. There's a sudden flash, and there sits what looks like a wooden chest, but the edge of its lid is covered in teeth.
The initiative is yours, I'll roll for the chest.
"Defend yourself, wizard."
>>178399
"Strikes always reduce an enemies <3 total by only 1 unless Autohit applies."
So if you were fighting an opponent and it was time for your free strike, if you succeed in your dodge roll your following counter deals damage AND they have to succeed their own dodge roll. I'll illustrate.
You hit.
They dodge and counter (this is turn 1)
You dodge (2) and counter
They dodge and counter (3)
(4)If you fail a dodge roll you take a strike and if you die the free hit isn't applied. If you manage to dodge or survive though, you counter and..
(5)Enemy takes the strike. If they survive the free strike, they either fail the dodge roll and take an additional strike, or pass the roll and counter
(6) same scenario as four
(7) same scenario as five
>>178473
"Oh boy, oh jeez, Im so scared..."
The King seems haughty, and is not impressed with the wizard. Whats worse, he summons a mimic to attack the poor man!
The wizard tried to roll away, out of reach from the snapping jaws of the fiend!
>>178494
(The initiative is yours, you get to attack.)
(Put dice+1d10 in the options field to roll)
"Come on wizard, earn your place by my side!"
>>178490
I give a meaningful look to the knight marine and to the tinkerer.
"I'll watch over the wizard, but we can't have interlopers trying to undermine the kingdom's authority. Bring me her tealight token."
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>178532
I raise my uzi and fire at the scorpiongirl across the field, still keeping an eye on the wizard.
"It's just a mimic. Get one good hit in."
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>178510
The Nervous Wizard drops his act, revealing himself as the Evil GrandCaster
"Foolish Kings and their Pride! It always leads to their death! Die by my SpellFire!"
Rolling to attack two targets, King and Mimic!
>>178490
I mutter under my breath
>You should have just stayed quite, manbeast...
Come on scorpion, This need not be a violent affair, you could just join us for this event and leave after if you wish. just hand me your tealight token, I'll make it worth your time.
>>178532
mutters under his breath again
>stupid fucker, why can't you just think for a second!
I ready my rifle, take a breath and shoot at the scorpion.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>178553
Seeing as I missed the scorpion girl I fire at the wizard. So you weren't a coward after all. Well lets see how well you do.
Rolled 3, 6 = 9 (2d10)
>>178553
First roll is for mimic dodge, second roll is for my dodge.
"You shall not take me so easily, sorcerer! I AM KING!"
I roll to the side and attempt to shoot back.
>>178572
I'm pretty certain you have to disengage before attacking.
*there is a flash of white in the realm, and the following changes take effect*
(Please put the appropriate amount of <3s by your trip, like so - "<3x2, <3x4, etc")
2Scorpion Tail/Blade // Three turns after landing a hit or successfully dodging (turn 4), land a free strike (changed from 1hit ko), with a followup strike after turn five (turn 6). Each free strike can be targetted at only one enemy at a time, and these strikes can only take effect once per engagement.
Scorpion Tail/Blade // Three turns after landing a hit or successfully dodging, land a free strike (changed from 1hit ko) Each free strike can be targetted at only one enemy at a time, and these strikes can only take effect once per engagement.
Tealight Tokens can be used at the time of a dodge roll to 1) negate the effects of free strikes against you 2) safeguard against an upcoming failed dodge, until the next opportunity to dodge arises. Cannot be used before an engagement.
(phew lad, dem balancing acts)
>>178553
Roll to dodge my counter.

Well, its clear that posting from a phone is impossible. This thread moves too fast. Anyway, its been fun. Pity I cant stay to assert magical supremacy (even tho I just died...)
Good luck all!
>>178637
ooc
I think i'm dead, Also the scorpion girl. its you, doom guy, and the mage.
>>178637
*a light erupts from the darkness*
Allow me to review..
>>178637
Lets just wait for op really quick to settle things as im pretty sure they both died. We should set a rule that after getting killed you need to wait a bit before attacking another person. Im not sure whats even happening right now.
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>178651
>Also, I am going to currently disengage.
Right, but how can you disengage when you're dead.
>>178651
the corpse then sudden;y turns into a fine black mist, leaving the tinker tools and a tealight token
>>178664
>reviving in the same spot with the same weapons to continue in the same fight
And you consider that fair and believe you should get loot for it?
>>178674
Yes. :^)
A dead body slamming into a person.
>>178674
She did drop the dynamite but I agree you shouldnt be able to join the same fight instantly
>Yo distant star, what the fuck is happening.
>>178700
>they can revive any time
>not anyWHERE though
This rule wasn't specified, but do you seriously not see a problem with this?
>>178700
>be noob spawning with knife
>go up against group of 5 people with full gear
>respawn every time they kill me until I manage to kill them all
>take their gear
>profit
guys chillout. I bet op can slam the hammer down and decide what will happen.
>>178727
Lets just wait a bit I'm sure A Distant Star will fix this soon enough.
>>178557
At this point you had initiated a fight by praying and attacking the tinkerer at the same time. The roll resulted in a failed prayer (6) and a hit (3) on the tinkerer. As the tinkerer fumbled to get his dodge roll, the marine fired at you and landed a 6 which was a miss. The wizard attacked the king and the mimic as the king attacked you. They both landed a 2, which means it was time for you to dodge. The next roll I see you make is here
>>178557
Which results in a three. You have to land even #s to pass the dodge roll so this means you took a strike.
Doom marine fired at the wizard and missed. The mimic failed its roll and the king suceeded his.
The tinkered finally got it together but was cut down. As was the poor newly awoken wizard who rolled a five against the kings counter.
Scorp died first, followed by the tinkerer who fell victim to her poison. Last was the wizard. Each of these players have to give up an item. This item cannot be conjured until it is reacquired. All other items return to darkness and can be reacquired.
All items left behind can be split between the last two standing because holy shit that escalated quickly.
>>178817
ORDER HAS BEEN RESTORED!
I breath out a sigh, and nod to Sir Marine.
"Get her tea token and whatever she left behind."
I bend down to pick up the building materials and the wizard's cloak and tealight token.
I now have
>1 backpack nuclear device
>1 Uzi
>1 bottles flame
>1 flea cape
>1 breastplate
>1 wizards cloak (unequipped)
>1 tealight token
>>178727
Also, I agree with the king. Chiefly because Scorp gave absolutely no narrative like Tink Tink did here
>>178672
To signify her death and revival, which is what I'm pretty sure got things so twisted.
Nevermind the fact successful hits require three complete sentences to be valid, dodges require two, and disengaging take four.
Come on now.
>>178851
Wait. Wouldn't it be I leave the dynamite and the tool is sent to the darkness?
>>178871
You droped the dynamite voluntarily while your claws disapeared but you reformed them via the 2 reforms after death rule. The tinkerer chose to drop the tools.
>>178851
Aye, that was my intention. I have little use for it.
>>178871
No. You died first according to OP. You didn't get to pick up any loot, so it was just sitting there on the ground.
Even if you hadn't, you'd have to specifically mention picking them up, they don't magically transport themselves into your inventory.
Let's just put this behind us for God's sake.
>>178903
Even if said victor is dead?
I'm not so sure I believe that.
>>178920
You died instantly after stabbing the tinkerer, you still have to pick it up.
>>178903
You technically died before the tinkerer, and considering the hit you used to kill him was invalid (not enough context, please followed the sentence rule) I'm fine with them retrieving the tools.
As far as I can see you left behind some dynamite and didn't revive (if you did revive, please direct me to your revival post where it clearly states you did so, and what you revived with) thus leaving the tools up for grabs.
>>178934
Because it doesn't make sense.
OP?
>>178940
Except King didn't follow the sentence rule when attacking me yet you're okay with that.
I give the wizard's cloak to the marine, then turn and set to work, spending the mimic's building materials to upgrade the tent.
tent + 1 building mats = cottage
Soon a cottage sits where the tent did, the new seat of my kingdom.
>>178946
The point is you haven't even been making an effort to RP. Go fuck yourself.
>>178959
You mean two?
And you consider conversing part of attacking.
>>178958
Hey can we take the materials off claw guy since he's sleeping in here? If so we can dismantle the dynamite and upgrade to a cottage. Then we can get closer to a fortress and get a proper capital for the king and his subjects.
>>178976
*Cabin not cottage*
>>178960
Hey, all you lost was some dynamite. And this is a /qst/ thread dear, you've got to put some time into your posts. I'm happy to have you here. But listen, I've already overlooked the discrepancies in your battle and that doesn't seem to satisfy you. Let's be good sports like Tink and the Wizard were and move on.
I could give you a consolation prize if you like! There are plenty of dog bowls in the darkness..
>>178976
Do it. Soon we will have a proper capital.
I awaken, with a mace, and a holy tome that only has the first few pages filled.
What is this,,,,, realm.... is this the plane of the gods? the void? is the dark father here? was I sent to deal with him? the silence is deafening. Mirran! Why Have you forsaken your devout follower! Even now you plunge me into total abyss yet you wouldn't console nor guide one of your champions!
>>178976
Nay! No going into others inventorys! It is strictly forbidden..
..unless of course you're an imp or wear a ninja suit.
>>178999
Except I also lose the tinkerer tools. His attack was two sentences to my three, your second post states that the victor gains the item.
>>179028
(Oh darn)
Well my king lets kill some more mimics.
>>179020
I cry out to the only thing in the sky!
MIRRAN!!!! WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER!!
I've dedicated my life for you! I've done service beyond my years! and now I stare at the emptiness of the abyss! YET EVEN WITH ALL THAT I'VE SACRIFICED! You still haven't graced me with your voice!

(My roll again)
As it leaps through midair the marine's shot misses completely, but I too am able to move out of the way, and open up with another volley. The mimic lets out a low growl, and I pace forward with my finger on the trigger, shooting out small bursts.
>>179020
*the star glows with amusement*
Look at this.. another tome carrier! Poor devil. If only he had seen how useless ol Musashis book was for him. Holiness? In a place such as this...?
Hahaha..
*there is a flash of light as a voice falls down upon the ears of the cleric*
You poor fool.. you come to this land with nothing more than a mace, and a book? Holy though you may be this is NOT a holy land.
But I do pity you, having awoken with such useless raiment. Mm, I won't bless your artifacts. No. But I'll leave you with something to see you on your way.
*the voice fades and you find two tealight tokens have been left in your inventory*
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>179069
I take another shot as the mimic is busy with the king
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>179069
(Mimic's turn)
Once again, all the shots miss. The mimic once again leaps forward at my chest, aiming to tear me apart. I lift my foot to kick it away...
>>179077
Forgot the 3 sentances ofcourse well if the op wants to disregard this next attack then so be it. Seeng the creature so busy I take aim. I wait a bit first. Then I fire on the beast.
Rolled 1 (1d10)

And does the kick succeed? Only luck will tell...
Rolled 9 (1d10)

Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>179101
AAARGH!
My breastplate stops the worst of it, but the mimic's jaws rip into my flesh, inflicting deep wounds. Stepping back hastily, I once again open up with the uzi. I'm vulnerable now...
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>179115
Seeing the damage done I ready myself. I take aim once more. Then I open fire again.
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>179125
I sidestep, and shoot back at the mimic. This one is far more agile than the last...or maybe that sorcerer's explosions were just that much more powerful. Bullets kick up dark grey dust all around the enemy.
>>179075
What is this! is this mirran! no you cannot be mirran! You speak of heresy! My holy book holds the great songs and deeds of my fellow warriors and clerics, its what's written within this tome that brings me purpose to finish the quest that mirran has sent me, to crush all malevolent beings from my sights and watch them burn with my fury.
>I grab one of the tealight token and threw it to the ground. thinking of imps and spirits, I smash it with my mace.
(Worlds toughest mimic itt)
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>179145
(our turn)
Another near miss. I get as close as I can stand to and take aim. A burst of fire shoots from the uzi as I try to take down the monstrous chest once and for all.
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>179145
This creature is more powerfull than the demons of hell! How can this be! I open fire once again and hopefully not miss.
>>179137
*the star peers down as the smashed tealight token and erupts in a spectacular display of red and blue flames. It scorches the sky but for an instant before vanishing from sight completely*
*Where once was a shattered token now stands a sight that hasn't been seen since the last thread*
*an ominous voice calls out*
If you are so strong, cleric, try your hand against my child..
*The Hat Man previously stalking the King stands before you, ready for you to strike*
One sec, on phone with dad
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>179211
I'll just roll for the mimic to dodge real quick then.
Rolled 2 (1d10)
Alright, I'm back.
Bullets embed themselves in the mimic's wood, but it doesn't go down. Instead, it turns, and attacks me. An angry yowl pierces the air as it seeks revenge.
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>179252
My eyes go wide as the unexpectedly strong mimic leaps at me. Desperately raising a foot, I try to kick it away. It's do or die...
Rolled 2, 4 = 6 (2d10)
>>179193
And fine I'll take a consolation prize of a dog bowls.
I will also pray to a holy power, for the gift of a shield, the symbol of protection.
>>179153
My flesh renewed, a sacrifice of destruction. I shall strike the king down. With ferocity, I shall leap towards the king and attack him with a flurry of both tail and claw.
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>179193
You foul spirit! I'll send your minion back to you in pieces!
I raise my mace and strike the hat man
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>179263
Seeing this happen before my eyes I attack the mimic. It somehow survives all these shots. I know I need to end this and open fire.
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>179263
>flea coat makes 9s count as dodges
The chest goes flying away, and I open fire. This roll is for the chest to dodge.
As the scorpion girl attacks I yell to the marine:
"She's back! I'll finish the mimic, you deal with her!"
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>179275
I notice the scorpian girl. I then try to disengage. I know it is now 2 on 1. I attempt to back away from the mimic.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>179275
(another dodge attempt for me)
The mimic leaps to the side and attacks me again, its slobbering jaws open. Using the same tactic, I pull back and prepare to kick it away...
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>179269
The Hat Man begins its frightful chuckling as you swing your mace at it. Effortlessly it dodges the missed blow. Looming over your body it attempts to crush you beneath it.
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>179286
Thankfully I got away from the mimic. I aim my sights on the scorpian girl. I then open fire with the intent to kil.
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>179288
>auto hit from 10
But instead, I open fire at it in midair, and it breaks into many pieces. Grabbing what's left, I quickly turn around to face the scorpion, and yell to my marine.
"Do not give in to cowardice! She has already died once, she will die again!"
I fire at the second opponent!
>>179305
*you feel a dog bowl drop into your inventory, but your prayer goes unanswered*
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>179295
I dodge the blanketing darkness as it tries to loom over me, and as I reorient myself and try to use the momentum to lunge my mace to its chest.
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>179330
The shadowy figure is caught off guard by the ferocity of your blow and must make a desperate attempt to dodge. It begins to vanish as your mace lunges toward it, preparing itself to counter if possible.
>>179344
It disappear! he coffs, as his mace connects with air. Such trickery will wilt under my might
yet in truth, he is quite afraid for no other foe has ever managed to disapear in front of his mace.
He desperately looks around as he tries to anticipate the next attack to counter
>>179313
>>179323
>>179305
Pretty sure that counts as a dodge then since that was the case before. But to refluff
Sadly, the strike only damages the ground next to him. The King responds with a volley of bullets combined with a shotgun hit from the Doom Marine. The king misses but the Doom Marine nearly hits, some shrapnel leaving small scars. I retaliate against the Doom Marine, leaping towards him.
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>179356
I'll accept this.
Aiming down my sights, I open fire. This scorpion bitch is a pain in the ass, but maybe I can put her down before she inflicts any real harm. As long as she's distracted, I have a clean shot.
>>179371
Hold up, you missed. You have to disengage or wait for me to attack you.
>>179359
The Hat Man attempts to rematerialize above the cleric. Surely the fool would not expect an attack from above. If all bodes well this could be the strike to end him!
Fully formed, it drops all of its weight from above.

Rolling
>>179411
>What are you doing rerolling?
Forgot to take it out of the options box.
Here's what happened:
-You attacked me, and missed.
-I killed the mimic with a counter, then turned to shoot at you, and missed.
-You dodged Marine's attack, and went after him yourself. You didn't roll, because it was a counter.
-I then shot at you and missed again.
You objected to the last thing, right?
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>179406
Retaliating, he shoots while I'm mid flight. I will attempt to land, before sliding between his legs. Followed after by an uppercut to his head.
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>179416
That foul spirit suddenly materializes on the top of my head!, He tries to roll away in time and reorient himself for another strike.
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>179434
The hat man crashes into the ground of darkness and straightens itself upright, at least two sizes higher than the cleric.
This was completely unexpected. Enraged, it dives headfirst towards its opponent for a killing blow.
>>179429
Is this a death?
>>179458
Well two people considered it an attack, so I guess not.
>>179458
Odds on a dodge roll = death
>>179458
It was rolled after you got the hit in so I assume its a failed dodge and she died.
>>179454
A hit finally Struck!
Tired, the grand cleric shouts as if to dig into a well of strenght that was hidden within him, " BE LIKE LORD GENERAL TARSUS OF YORE! UNBEATEN AND UNBROKEN!, as he swings his mace hoping to banish the spirit.
>>179466
The 1 shouldn't count, he used it immediately after missing a strike.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>179496
Good enough for me.
I take aim again and open fire. This had to be ended quickly. If she got a hit in, I'd be on my own very quickly...
Rolled 8 (1d10)
>with my uzi, this is a hit.
>>179508

Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>179504
I take aim once again. Not knowing whats even happening in this battle. I just begin to unload my gun
>>179514
Unload as in shoot untill it's empty.
>>179472
*a voice booms from beneath the clerics feet as he sends the Hat Man flying*
Enough!! You have proven your worth, though your kind remains unwelcome here.
*the star reappears in the sky*
Since you were able to stand toe to toe with a child of darkness, I shall grant you a portion of my light. Henceforth they will fear you, and hesistate to challenge you as you walk along your path.
* your holy tome shimmers, vanishes, and reappears in front of you as a Holy Tome+1*
Holy Tome+0 // adds 1 <3 to your health for every hat man or shadow lord defeated, up to a max of 2. Shadow people are too weak to charge it, and hungry/thirsty ghosts have no effect.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>179531
The scorpion flies toward me, and I wildly shoot upward. I quickly step back to attempt to avoid her stinger...
Once again, my life is in danger...
>>179538
...and, unless you have an item to stop a 0 autohit, the bullets shred her to pieces.
>>179525
As the final banishing strike assured his victory, the cleric, sapped of all of his strenght, collapse on to the ground. The final strike took everything he had to commit and it has reduced his stamina to nothingness, Only a good rest would fix this... ( he thinks as his eyes sets heavily downward)
while he starts to take a nap, he noticed the suddenly glowing of his tome and takes a quick look at it, Even without a scribe or a skald writing on it, it Spontaneously has a description of his battle with the hat man, and an accompanying song with it.
he smiles and mutters as he falls asleep.

Vorhees rises. What did i miss?

>that was an epic fight op.

I take the materials from the mimic then dismantle the dynamite to get the materials needed to upgrade our cottage into a cabin.
Cottage+2material=cabin
Ah...Just like home.

I pray for a chest piece, it's worth a shot.
>>179569
...
...I'm not salty or anything...
...I'm not salty, but the only reason she'd know to pray for a chestpiece is if she knew she was gonna get hit. She should get this on respawn.
>>179557
( agreed (: I was tempted to let you try to smash the other <3 out of him, but my nerves were all jittery and couldn't take it anymore! You earned that upgrade, and make holy tomes an official addition to the database.
Careful though. It resets upon death, so don't let that light fade!)
>>179577
Watch her start to get your levels of bullshit luck with all your zeros
Currently Jason stands watching the battle between the helmeted guy and the scorpion girl. He takes a second to look for any bits of clothing that are unused.
>>179577
Sure, have this dog bowl. I shall retain my claws and tail, and once I walk the earth once more, a chest piece to my name.
I scowl at the scorpion's corpse.
"This is the second time she's come back, clearly she's got a grudge."
Taking the dog bowl and her tealight token, I go into our cabin and convert the bowl into building materials. Storing them inside, I step outside again.
"We'll need to be on the lookout for that abomination. I expect she'll be back."
>>179569
*the star glows brightly, amazed at the sheer luck you possess and your belief in the power of prayer*
Oh little one.. a beast true to the dark. I cannot grace you with a chest piece to stop a blow that has already been struck.
However! It is in my power to do much upon your revival.
*whenever you respawn, you'll receive a robe and the following item*
King Killer // a small dagger designed to pierce armor. Converts negated AHCs into regular strikes, allowing them to do damage but not instakill when a 0 is rolled during a dodge.
Rolled 7 (1d10)
On a random thought, I turn my head towards the star.
"O star, if I could have some help in defending my kingdom, it would be very much appreciated," I say with a small chuckle.
Rolled 8 (1d10)
>>179579
The cleric wakes from his nap, and with a sudden realization! yells towards the distant star
Spirit! who are you! when I landed my banishing blow, I felt as if there was another force that rended that dark spirit into oblivion! are you an avatar of Mirran, did my lord finally gave me audience with a piece of him?
I start to chant the chant of the maker towards the distant star, praying for any kind of boon.
While in the cabin I take this moment to pray, so I may become more powerfull in battle.

"So he is."
I stand in the doorway to the cabin, and shout to the figure:
"You there! You stand in the kingdom of Atom! Who are you?!"
>>179647
I mutter.
"Pass me your tealight token..."

He responds in a very raspy tone.
"Who are you."

(Nay, we all roam naked here. You'll have to hunt for robes or chest pieces from enemies)

Mimics & Goblin now drop robes on a AHC

"I am King Robert Oppenheimer, lord of this realm. All who live here serve me, or else flee from law."
"What business do you have here?"
>>179673
But you also got one from the scorpion girl the first time she died. Trust me, you have another, I've been keeping track.
If it isn't in your inventory it's in mine.
>>179680
Ah your right, I forgot we could loot them from other people. Well here it is then.
>>179680
"I woke here, not much business to have."
He cracks his neck.
"What gives you power of this land?"
>>179694
"The loyalty of my subjects, the riches of my coffers, and the bullets of my uzi. I have won many victories here, and I intend to win many more. IF you intend to stay here...you too must recognize my authority."
>>179694
meant to say "power over this land."
>>179680
Pretty sure it's you who has it.
>>179705
"And if i choose not to stay, how will I know you are not tailing me."

*the star hears you calling and is silent. It remains quiet and slowly fades away. It is tired of witnessing bloodshed for now. It is tired of answering prayer.
Before the final remnant of light fades, a pale glow reveals coffee grounds have been left at your feet*
(Item usage requires a single sentence. The must be used during or immediately after dodge and attack rolls. Simply say "I use ____" and let your dice do the rest)
The world is now in engrossed in absolute darkness. A lantern (you guessed it - nearly useless just like the gum) has been placed in everyones inventory. They cannot be made into materials and they remain in your inventory upon death. They cannot be given up as an item. They allow you to receive stardust against ghosts when you score an AHC*
>>179717
"My realm extends in all directions, to the ends of this earth, but I cannot keep watch over all of it. If you leave, it may be years before you see me again, but you will. This I can promise though: I have no wish to track anyone down today. There have been enough challengers already.
Of course, if you too are a challenger...you may as well say so. I will not hide from you in my hall like a coward. You shall have a battle, if that is what you seek."

"I will be damned if i'm told what to do by anyone."

He prays for a green jacket.

As the darkness sets, the star blessed me with coffee beans and a latern, without a definite answer, the cleric decides to venture on in hopes to find this avatar of mirran or whatever it is, and sheds some light on this seemingly malevolent or benevolent "divine" entity.

Once more, does earth and rock form once more to a human figure, before transforming into flesh and bone once more. This figure lies in the earth, dormant, her head wondering. Perhaps it is not brute strength but vassals that are required.
Sensing the light of a lattern nearby, she begins digging ahead of it, and once out of sight, claws out the twisted earth into yet again darkness. Her spirit and body renewed.
after seemingly two hours of following twinkling lights afar, I've seem to finally approach one.
>>179772
Hey! Stand and address yourself! are you human! nothing seems to make sense in this realm and your mask provides me with less clarity than before!
>>179728
Once the figure is out of sight, I step out from the cabin.
"Sir Knight, if you'd come out with me. That scorpion almost got to me last time. Luckily, I have a plan to gain enough power that she will flee whenever she hears our approach."
>>179815
He approaches the cleric.
"Address myself? 'hello me. how are you today? oh i am fantastic, but i seem to have time traveled recently.' Your turn. Address yourself."
>>179819
Alright whats your plan? I'm hoping we can aquire a fortress soon.Unless you have other ideas?
>>179827
don't make fun of me, masked man. Again, Tell me your name before both of us get into a conflict that none of us want.
>>179828
I hold up the two tealight tokens.
"Do you know what stardust is?"

"Don't tempt me with a good time. It's Vorhees."
He gestures towards you with his chin.
"Who are you and why should i care."

Seeing the light approach another, before merging into one. She switches on her lantern before rushing towards them, the light eventually illuminating the figure of a naked man with a mace and a tome with a holy aura confronting...yet another naked man, a big guy wearing a mask and wielding a machete. She murmurs about the breastplate being a better item to get than the shield before reaching them and conversing.
"Hey!"
>>179850
Ah so you want to kill 2 ghosts and make us more powerfull?
>>179859
Points his machete mere inches from the girl's face and silently stares at her.

"That how you greet people?"

"The chances of getting it from that source are very low. No, I want something guaranteed."
Whispering "fallen star," to the tokens, I throw them 20 feet away. There is a blinding flash of light, and suddenly what appears to be a woman stands there, anger in her eyes and radiance beaming from her and illuminating the entire area.
Even as she draws up power for an attack, I lift my uzi and open fire.
>>179857
>>179859
Hold! Foul beast! you are no man! What are you and why can you speak our tongue!

Rolled 2 (1d10)

Don't worry about yours, it came at the same time as my attack. Technically it should have killed her, but since it came after I responded for her I'm gonna let the fight continue.
>>179893
(our attack)
Realizing the blinding attack for what it is, I shut my eyes, just before a white hot flash goes on in front of her. I escape being blinded, just barely, and now it's my turn. With my teeth gritted, I fire again.
Rolled 4 (1d10)

Once again she pulls back, and tries to pull up a shield. It looks more powerful this time, but is it truly?

That you will be the one doing the splashing*
I just have to fix that sorry.
>>179911
I suppose it's true but does that make my attack invalid? Should I die and return?

I drop the mace gently on the floor mimicking their moves, I stare at the scorpion girl baffled by the existence of such a being.
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>179915
(my dodge attempt)
It is. Bullets bounce off the shield like rubber balls, ricocheting back at me. With luck, I'll escape them, but it isn't guaranteed...
(You should roll to attack now, marine.)
>>179925
Nah. She doesn't get two dodge attempts for each separate attack. Even if she did, you've got the cloak.
>>179922
"It's just an armor piercing dagger, not really noteworthy."
Also lower the tail.
>>179932
Wait so by that logic she should be dead and you wont take the damage your about to take.

Shakes his head and whispers "anticlimactic" under his breath.
"So what's next. We aren't killing each other for now, does that mean we're together?"

The shots blast through the shield and carry her ten feet away, where she lies choking in glimmering blood. Her light quickly fades, and she collapses into a pile of stardust, along with a tealight token.

I was greated with a spirit not long ago, the same spirit that brought down a minion of darkness yet helped me cast it down with divine might.
If this is an avatar of Mirran, I'm duty bound as a chaplain of the maker, to find him, if he is a malevolent spirit, my quest is still the same, the only difference is that the latter has alot more crushing and pounding.
I'll track this star, find out what it is, and through it all I might be able to bring my soul back to feraldis, where lord general casus is waiting for me.

(If I'm recording this correctly V should have two, the cleric 3, King & Doom have one apiece because they just pooled the last two they had before into the Fallen Star, and Scorp should have.. 3 as well? You don't lose tokens when you die, your killer has a fresh one materialize. So she would've kept her original and just gained one from me. You don't get a token at respawn unless you have none left and die by someone elses hand.
Is that accurate? Please correct me if I'm wrong)
>>179984
Ah yes very well my king. *I use the dust allowing me to take a third hit*
ITEMS
>double barrel shotgun
>Wizards robe
>Full head covering helmet
>1 teallight token
>1 extra health from using stardust.
So shall we summon the other spirit and get it's dust? Dont forget to get its coin too.
>>180005
Chest plate gives you an extra health point.
>>180006
its right for me
always had one whenever a character wakes,
used one when I awoke,
gave me two,
then gave me one
so it's three
>>180005
Start with one token.
>summon mimic, you and wizard both die
That's 1-1+2= 2 tokens
>summon mimic, you attack again and die
That's 2 - 1 + 1 = 2 tokens
>Summon star, get one back after killing it
That's 2 - 2 + 1 = 1 token
Hell, Knight hasn't even used his yet. By the way, I'm not dead because breastplate gives an extra HP. Health points regenerate as soon as combat ends.
Now you tell me, where are your three HP coming from?
>>180033
I forgot about the wizard, and also the regenerating rule.
>>180018
a singularity of purpose doesn't still grant my trust, I grab one of my tealight tokens, think of an ent, and throws it down in the middle of us three
I look at the masked man and the scorpion girl,
I yell at the scorpion girl, "ready you weapons beasts, Show me what passes for wrath amongs your ill-begotten kind!
then I look at the masked man
Hey masked man, Wheren't you aching for fun! SHOW ME YOUR MARTIAL PROWESS! Help me smith this being and I will lend you both my mace

"I mean it's just two claws and a tail."
Magic courses where the token breaks, liquid pouring down the earth, forming a figure yet again. But instead of flesh, it forms wood, creating another demon once more. The scorpiongirl rushes the demon with her claws, ready to return the demon whence it came.
>>180069
Aye, hand me your token.
>>180077
Yes here you go.
>>180072
Hey, where'd you get those HP?
>>180059
I think OP's gone to sleep. We can still roll for its attack and such.
>>180086
I missed. do we roll it's attack next or my dodge next?
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>180080
Whispering "Star," I once more throw two tokens out, and watch as they land with a blinding flash of light. Once more a beautiful woman rises, hate in her eyes. I take aim at the radiant lady and open fire.
"Fire, Sir Knight!"
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>180094
(dodge roll)
As the masked figure jumps at it with it's blades furnished, the ent tries to swat it away with a wild swing of its arms
(lets take it one at a time so vorhess attack first, then it then ent can dodge, then scorpion girl second then it ent can aslo dodge... etc.. etc)
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>180096
Oh, you're recording tokens. Carry on then. I'm still not sure that's correct but I can't be bothered to look. I guess that means knight and I have 1 left each still after making this star, since everyone got one.
>>179982
(If I gave you a robe and the king killer, that means you could conjure two items upon revival. Two claws or a claw and a tail. Or any other combination of items available as long as it wasn't the last item you gave up. Robes =/= chest pieces and idk where you got the cloak from. But I like your antics, you crack me up.
Really though where did the hp come from xD I've yet to see you use stardust and none of your equips give <3s)
(>>180095
Refer back to
>>180047
It takes two tokens to summon an ent, good cleric. For every <3 a summin has you require a token. Forgive me if I misread or overlooked anyone tossing another in with you)
>>180113
So the ent fails and is struck. i'm still fumbling. next attack?
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>180097
>>180107
(Star roll)
Like the last one, this star attempts to bring up a shield to block the incoming bullets. It may or may not work.
>>180114
If one of you hits, the enemy gets to roll to dodge. Otherwise, they roll to attack jsut like you did.
See combat rules in OP for full explanation.
>>180096
( I see what happened here! Girl, the <3 xwhatever by your name is representing your health pool, not the amount of tokens you're currently carrying )

Shrieking, the star surges forward, just like the last one, charging straight at me. I ready myself to defend.
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>180113
Wait, Vorhees missed, and I hit. Missing leaves you only able to disengage or wait until you get attacked, but since it is busy dodging, that means Vorhees should unfumble.
>>180119
Ah shit, a claw and a tail. Also you gave me a robe which is a chest piece but without the extra <3.
Consequently, I shall pray for a heart.
Rolled 7 (1d10)
>>180127
I watch as the shield stop my attack but shatters at my allys. I run up to it quickly. I then attempt a point blank shot.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>180113
The ent fails to counter the failed attack
the ent was able to swat the masked madman away but the madman angled the slam with such dexterity to avoid any kind of significant damage.
Roll for counter against Scorpion girl
The ent sees the charging scorpion and yells a deafining scream as one of it's legs starts to ready for a devastating kick.
>>180114
Mr V. the combat mechanics are shown in the first post of the thread. But essentially, first strike needs to hit either 1-3 to sucessfully hit, after than you are locked into combat wherein the outcome is determined by dodge/counter rolls which succeeds on evens and fails on odds.
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>180132
(our roll)
the wounded star quickly closes the distance, and I'm unable to get a shot off. PErhaps though, I can still fend her off...
"Shoot her!"
>>180135
Counting this miss as responding to this post.
(To simplify things, I'll just tell you when I'm posting the end o a round so you know when to roll.)
>>180141
Its not a miss due to my helmet counting sevens as hits.
>>180119
okay, I lost two tokens then. Sorry boss. ( i trust you can man the ent then?)
Rolled 8 (1d10)
>>180141
The star's beautiful fingernails rake across my face, and she falls back, satisfied with the damage she's done.
Once again I take aim. Once again I fire.
>>180139
For the record, my mask counts 1-3, 7 as hits
>>180139
(Failed Roll)
In response, I leap to the air and gouge out marks upon its wooden flesh, the scars decaying from venom, before leaping back.
>>180146
Ah, you're right. Next star roll will be a dodge against you then.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>180135
As the star streaks by me, you open fire at point blank range. She notices at the last second, but it might be enough for her...
>>180133
(Right, you got it (: If an enemy dodges even one attack from any opponent it nullifies the attacks or misses/fumbles from all opponents. It then chooses a counter target and that target must make a dodge roll against the enemy counter while his allies either disengage or attack again. If the ally dodging fails his roll he is struck, and the enemy need only dodge the attacks from the a single attacking ally and choose a new target to counter)
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>180153
okay, noted when I'm acting out any enemies when op isn't around.
The cleric, seeing two of his companions charging in, feels a sudden sense of familiarity, the familiarity of comrades fighting together! He roars a saying! BLESSED BE OUR FURY! as he charges in with his mace in tow for a strike
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>180172
There's an earpiercing cry, and once again the shotgun slams a star to the ground, where she crumbles to dust. Striding to the corpse, I eat the dust and collect the tealight token she leaves behind.
"Shall we take another? I rather fancy being nigh invincible. We have three tokens between the two of us, we could always complete the fortress as well."
>>180177
If an enemy has only 1 heart, does a free strike kill them?
And does each action from a member of the fight constitute as a turn?
>>180187
wait, do we have three tokens? I may have miscounted.
>>180149
(Not tonight ): I've invested about 12 hours trying to get this qst solid and secure for everyone to enjoy today.. now my family is throwing a tantrum and demanding food haha.. the star shall shine upon the morrow! I'm excited to return)
>>180192
I say we begin costruction of the fortress. The question is which is more efficient for tokens, mimics or ents?
>>180189
the way i understood it, all allies attack at the same time. defender makes one dodge roll if any of the attacks land. then they either die or counter attack.
>>180195
hahaha Okay man, great job btw, when will you come back?
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>180183
Seeing her ally miss, she leaps to strike down the foul beast once and for all. The wooden construct is on its last legs, venom seeping into its roots. In only a few turns will they reap its reward.
>>180189
(Only your actions and the actions of your opponent count towards the free strike counter, but yes, a free strike would kill them)
>>180204
So the opponent attacking or defending against another would count towards this counter.
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>180183
As the cleric yells, giving away its position, the ent readies for another swipe to hopefully send the man flying backwards

"Both are equal I believe. But an ent would be faster. Hold on to your token we shall have a mimic to fight afterwards."
Lifting both tokens that I have left, I throw them to the ground, where they begin to grow into a large tree. It glares down at us, but before it can strike, I fire!
>>180218
(Yep! Its still an action. And remember, their move after your initial hit or dodge is turn 1. Your initial hit or dodge simply starts the counter)
Rolled 3 (1d10)

Seeing this large tree I am awed. But quickly I take aim. We need it to complete our fortress!
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>180203
The ent missed the cleric, but the swipe made the cleric reorient his step, stopping his charge and making him halt for a moment, The ent sees the scorpion lunging at the it and tries to swing its body gather momentum to swipe at the incoming scorpion.
>>180200
it's your turn Mr. V
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>180230
The shotgun roars, and the ent looks at you with hatred. But who knows what effect buckshot will have on him?
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>180219
Wait, that's an attack, you should roll for countering.
Picking up a rock, the scorpiongirl throws it at the ent. It is used for distracting, nothing else. She knows that the venom will kill the ent.
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>180235
After steadying his self, Vorhees charges in for another attack. This time he opts for slashing the ent up the middle.
"Take this you sonofabitch!"
>>180231
>>180240
The rock leaves a small dent to the ent. But it is enough to draw its ire. It sees who attacked it and roars, rushing towards its target.
The scorpiongirl smirks, pointing at it, before stating"You are already dead."
The ent explodes into puddles of venom and heaps of wood.
>>180247
It's still dead tho, and also
>>180177
If you miss an attack, their roll is an attack, not a counter.
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>180238
As my knight attempts to dodge the ent, I open fire with my uzi and try to take it down a notch. As long as it's distracted, I have a free shot.
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>180242
Seeing that the ent is preoccupied with the deft scorpion, the cleric lunges at the ent hoping to bring down his mace to the center mass of the ent. This is your end of your existence, tree demon!

(ENTS TURN)
The ent trys to swing at me. I try to deftly back away
>>180253
oh, it is already three turns? lol that was quick.
As the masked madman rips open the ent from it's center, the sudden gushing out of the settling gasses made by the venom creates a tiny explosion that completely destroyed the ent. the madman along with the cleric was sent flying from the explosion.their flesh was covered with splinters but all resulted with meager wounds.
The cleric stood up, and thought to himself, Now this is a warband!
Rolled 7 (1d10)

Now that was fury! In the matters of loot, I will don this chestplate for the ent came from my tokens. I assure you that the next two weapons or armor we find, I'll abstain from its ownership. Now brothers, My mace is yours. Where we be too next?

Now then, to make a fort we need a cabin which we have, and a cottage. We also need 4 building material as well.as soon as we kill the mimic let us break down my gum adding up to 4 material enough for a a cottage then it is simply a matter of upgrading the existing buildings into a fort.
Rolled 8 (1d10)

The mimic leaps at the knight, and as he attempts to dodge I open fire on it.
"This creature is weak! Destroy it!"

The dodge fails and it dies, leaving behind a single building mat.
"Excellent. just what we needed."
>>180360
A short life for a mimic, but this is to be expected. Yet again, torn apart, this time by melee. After a brief successful campaign against the madman, it finds itself used for more important purposes. Like dropping building material.
Rolled 9 (1d10)

I attempt to sidestep the lunge. These are quite annoying aren't they? Nothing like the demons in hell.

Vorhees gathers the building mats from the mimic and the cleric's inventory and cobbles together a nice little cottage.

Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>180402
My kick surprisingly smashes it in half. I take the building materials in hand, and address my knight.
"Are you ready?"
>>180391
Together, they pull the cleric's body into the building and settle in for the night. The cottage came with three cots and Vorhees claimed one for himself.
>>180416
"Perhaps. It would be a great test, but i think we should become more settled. You know what's his face wants to find that god so that make take some time. Also we don't really even know each other. The name is Vorhees."

For days and nights we labor, but time doesn't seem to work the same way here. A great castle arises from our labor, and I, King Robert, finally take my throne.

*the "dawn" of the land is ushered forth by the return of a distant star, its soft glow shining dimly in the dark*
*a pale red hue emanates from the heavenly body, signifying a change of sorts, but to what extent?*
*its maternal energies seem to no longer be present, and instead gives off the impression of peering over a cold shoulder to the land below*
(Just a few comments and such before the day gets rolling)
>>180497
(Forts require two separate buildings and the mats, it's not an upgrade system)
(Got a few changes to be posted soon, nothing major, just a bit more content and balancing acts - chiefly tweaking combat and equipment drops)
(The star is in strange humour today, use caution if you plan on praying)
(After the new content gets tossed in, I've got an event planned for everyone present a couple of hours afterwards)
(Quick poll, is anyone interested in me working on an item crafting system? Personally I'm comfortable with items strictly being drops from summons, players, and prayer but I've got an old system I never perfected from another project that could be dusted off and polished)
(You intrepid pioneers have brought this world a long way and now that you have some really amazing battles under your belt.. oh wait. You guys are naked.)
*a light shines unto all awoken currently present, and when you wake you'll find yourselves equipped with the following item*
Belt w/ canteen of dark water - works like a tealight token in combat but RESTORES hp instead of protecting against hp loss. Unlike tealight tokens (which take effect regardless of a failed or successful roll) the roll with which you use this item must pass. Can be used against fatal blows. Stays in inventory upon death. Can be given up. Can be broken down into materials. DOES NOT protect against autohit counters. If hit by an ahc you cannot use this item to negate the damage.
(Belts are clothes, right? Whatever. That should give you a bit more ground against summons and make killing them for items less risky)
(An hp cap is in the works, so don't go overboard with the stardust. It may be better to gear hunt with your tokens)
>>181065
I kinda expected that, we already have 4 material so I'll go ahead and build the cottage leaving us with 1. I wouldn't mind a crafting system also since it would add a bit more depth into the game. About the canteen, what kind of roll is needed to get the heal?
>>181065
(Oh and before I go breaking the realm again - your canteen can only be used once per engagement. Like your hp pool, it is restored ONLY after you COMPLETELY leave combat)
(:
(There is also a preparation phase to initiate combat now. If you're going to attack another player, you must be out of combat and you have to type a four sentence post to let them know you're about to come at them. If they acknowledge the post they are then "engaged" in combat with you and you get the first move. If they don't acknowledge your approach before your next post you get an initiative bonus and can attack next post anyway and then they MUST acknowledge you. Sentence rules still apply. Anyone not adhering to this rule loses favor, will be ineligible for worldwide blessings, and will have their prayers ignored)
(Acknowledging an approach requires 1-2 sentence. This can include dialogue and you can acknowledge them during battle with a different enemy. Your akcnowledgement sentences count towards your current combat move)
Ex - A distant star is approached. Whilst typing her dodge roll actions she cries out, "I see you there you dastardly ne'er-do-well!" She succeeds her dodge roll (or fails it) and is now engaged with two enemies. Standard rules against multiple opponents now apply.
Ex2 - a distant star is approached. She doesn't acknowledge the approach in time and rolls against her current enemy. Her roll post falls after the new attackers initiative bonus. If her new attacker landed a hit, she is now engaged with multiple enemies and standard rules apply.
(At the time of approach, your enemy has the option of running away or entering their tent. Their run post must be made before your initiative post or they enter combat. They cannot run if already engaged in battle. If they enter a tent you're SoL. If they run you can keep chasing them until you get a successful bonus post)
How initiative bonus works-
Standard hit parameter (min+0)-(max+1)
If your hit parameter was 1-3 it becomes 1-4 with the bonus
If your parameter was 1-4 it becomes 1-5
with the bonus
(This bonus always applies to summons, and should help clear up issues with combat clarity and ridiculous fumbling rates)
(Please remember sentence rules apply to attacking. That includes attacking with the bonus)
>>181092
(I'll get started on crafting soon, in that case. Canteens work with dodge rolls, so even numbers + modifiers)
>>181160
(Also tents/scructures cannot be used in battle ATM and the option to enter a structure or run requires you to be out of combat)
(If you have any questions, I'll be checking in occasionally while I rework item crafting, prep new enemies/gear, and do a few balancing acts)
*I walk to the porch of the cabin and yell out* Hello!? Anybody out there in the darkness?
>>181303
the distant yelling wakes up the cleric, He arose from his slumber pleasantly surprised to see himself housed in small shelter.
"they must have carried me here after the fight..... I really need to take care of myself better before I get my warband in trouble"
He leaves the the safety of his tent, as he tries to figure out the direction of that distant yelling.
The area around the cabin is now littered with building materials, and scaffolding frames the beginnings of walls and towers. Something beig is underway.

"Soon. There a few things to be done here first."
(I've got a short half hour exam coming up in about 20 minutes, so I'm not gonna do anything involving fast posting like negotiation/combat until then.)

Tealight Tokens can block damage?

"I cannot ignore it for much longer, the darkness sets then shortly after a horn is rung. they must be related! A quick solo expedition towards the darkness would provide my warband some insight without endangering them.
the cleric begins his journey towards the peculiar sound with a prayer to the maker, he prays for a vigilant bulwark against evil and a graceful and wise hand to guide him.
After a minute or so, he begins his trudge towards the blank darkness accompanied only by the small latern light and the distant sound.
>>181994
I see a light approach from the darkness while sitting on the porch of the cabin. Who goes there? State your intentions stranger!
>>181994
He sees a helm, Soldier! I'm Chaplain Saturius II of the church of flamenshire! Are you complicit in this darkness and the rise of this scarlet star? I demand an answer!
>>182015
Not at all chaplain, I awoke in this wasteland just as you did. Now answer this, what are you doing here? I am trying to rebuild the lands along with the king. As you can see from the construction going on we are making good progress.
>>182031
A king! what king claims this domain of darkness! Its ridiculous that someone of noble blood would have rightful rule over this decrepit mosh of shadows! State your allegiance heathen or explain the righteousness of your liege lord!
>>181912
(They negate damage from free strikes you'd receive that turn, and negate damage you may take if your dodge roll fails)
(Nearly finished with the updates. Gonna make a new thread one they're done)
Awakening, she hears the sounds of her ally. Grabbing her items, she heads the direction of the sounds, noticing the voice of her enemy as well.
>>182048
My allegiance is to the king, for a simple reason you should see, order. This land is infested with beasts that will slay you without a second thought. But thanks to our toil we have almost finished our capital, a bastion against evil that will be impenetrable. But not only are there beasts, other awaken have taken to murder and banditry. One such bandit is a strange hybrid of scorpian and human.
>>182057
>Scorpion and Human
bandit! That is slander! I have seen her in battle and she has shown no intent of banditry in our encounter!
the idea of serving on the side of order does tempt the cleric, but his allegiance to the warband prevents him from making a decisive decision.
If you are truly a force for order, I'll expect that you will enact your actions with justice, any failure to do so will be a deathmark on the head of your king that I will labour to collect. Now soldier, I bless thee farewell, I pray we meet again, hopefully in an event that would provide me more clarity on the true aspects of your allegiance and your liege lord. may the maker smile on your quest.

I step out of the cabin, staring disdainfully at the scorpion. Lamplights glimmer off my breastplate, and my weapon is in my relaxed hands, pointed down.
"Cleric. I don't believe we've been introduced. I am King Robert Oppenheimer, lord of this realm protector of all the light still left in it. Why has one such as you allied yourself with a dangerous bandit like this? I imagine she told you nothing of her crimes."
>>182134
*realm and
>>182134
"Protector, hmm? I suppose that's why you threaten your first and second vassal, and forcing another to fight for your so called protection."
>>182140
"You can lie and twist the truth all you like, monster, but you started this quarrel. You allied yourself with a dark sorcerer in a weak attempt to overthrow me. If that wizard had truly been as weak as he looked, did you think I would have truly let that creature kill him?
I saw through his charade just as I see through yours."
>>182134
The lord of this realm.......
Crimes? this beast has shown valor that I've see few possess. certainly what she has done couldn't be as what was said!
>>182140
Oh really? I joined out of my own accord as soon as sensing his noble blood and knew he was the best chance of rebuilding this world.
>>182150
"Ah yes, how could I misinterpret your claim of blowing up your marine if he did not join you, or how you threatened to kill your second vassal had he not joined you or offer a sacrifice. Or how about staying in your tent while he died fighting a knight."
>>182156
"All has happened as I have said, and more. When she was defeated after her initial treachery, she later attacked my knight and I whilst we were fighting off a creature of the dark. Even then, we defeated her.
This beast has no honor. I do not know how you met her, but she may have sought you out so as to even the odds."
>>182164
(You weren't there for literally any of that)
"I do what is needed to protect the realm. All that have attacked or killed my vassals have been punished harshly. I cannot always interfere, but I do not suffer aggression lightly. In this realm of darkness, I cannot."
>>182168
beast, I have witnessed your fury firsthand, and from that alone won you my respect. however such allegations tarnishes our warband, tell me this cannot be so, explain your side! I would prefer to keep my mace clean of your blood but if justice commands.... i follow it.....
>>182168
"Shall I remind how you nearly perished against this weak foe?
And to speak of honor as you threaten those who do not accept your tyranny? You let your men die while you squander fighting weak constructs."
>>182189
"I will hear no more of these poisonous words. My men follow me because mine is the side of justice and order. Order by its nature must be enforced. It is a shame that you cannot understand that.
I offered you and all others who have committed crimes against the kingdom amnesty last night. You may accept it, or you may choose to continue your...current lifestyle. But I will not offer a second time."
>>182184
Such actions aren't proper for a lord, it seems more common for weak-willed sellswords and scoundrels! to let your men die while you dance with inferior beings! such actions aren't de rigueur to a lord of order!
>>182205
You see chaplain, let me inform you. He has fought foes just as I have. Together we have been building the kingdom. The only time I was forced to go alone was when a hat wearing creature kept the king hostage and even then he jumped in when I got injured.
>>182205
"I appreciate your position, cleric. But as lord of the realm, I cannot go rushing headlong into every conflict. If I were to fall, many priceless artifacts of essential use to my subjects would be lost. It represents a far greater risk to the kingdom to have the king on the front lines.
This I can tell you honestly: my men do what they do willingly, and I do not run when they are in danger. Think on that."
I turn to the scorpion.
>>182217
"And you should think on your decision. Consider your choice wisely, for you have already committed crimes for which I should hut you to the ends of the earth."
>>182217
>"You stayed in your tent as you watched him get sliced down for you. Only then did you attack."
You weren't there for this either. Stop metagaming.
>>182225
"Ah yes, to speak of your treachery and defending myself when you have your vassals attempt to kill, which you once more, only observe.
You lead your men to be slaughtered like sheep just so you look good."
The tomboy returns to the cottage.
>>182255
And forgot trip.
>>182255
"Halt!"
I raise my weapon and sight down it.
"You have chosen the life of an outlaw. You cannot expect to leave this place alive."
(Initiating combat as per OP's instructions)

>>182263
>(At the time of approach, your enemy has the option of running away or entering their tent. Their run post must be made before your initiative post or they enter combat. They cannot run if already engaged in battle. If they enter a tent you're SoL. If they run you can keep chasing them until you get a successful bonus post)
"How pathetic. But I wouldn't expect less from a man whom kingdom comes from threats. But I'll stay in this cottage."
>>182295
Lucky you happened to mention leaving.
"Run all you like, monster. I will come for you."
>>182312
I look up the sky.
"The star does not seem to be taking much notice of us for the time being. I suspect we will have little luck finding what we need."
"The murderer, on the other hand, has some more. If only Sir Claw were here, we could assault her dwelling and kill that coward once and for all."
>>182328
Very well then, lets retire to the cabin until the tinkerer or claw guy return. If they dont we'll just have to wait for the star.
>>182339
"She can't hide there forever. Sooner or later she'll leave, once she has puppets to even her odds. As if that will stop us."
I sigh.
"The cleric may very well turn against us when we try to hunt her down. I shall not enjoy being forced to be his enemy. We need subjects committed to civilization."
>>182351
There is no need to hunt her down yet. The cleric can still be brought over however. As soon as she shows signs of what we told him I wouldnt be surprised if he returns to us. But for now we just wait.
>>182364
I shoot a fierce glare towards the window.
"What I wouldn't give for some matches..."
>>182363
"The longer we let her live, the more strength she amasses. Soon she might even be able to challenge the kingdom. She dies every time we get word that she's nearby, until she stops coming back. She has the gall to kill my vassals, to ambush us twice, and act like we are the villains? I won't tolerate it."
>>182383
More sounds come from the window, "Like dude, you literally sent a guy to kill me for telling the truth and whine when I kill him. Not only that, you want to kill my ally who doesn't even know what occured."
>>182418
"And that's why you stated the fact he had a collection of tokens which you need, along with wishing to invade and burn down our cottage?"
A head pops out the window
"Also why the fuck are you discussing this out our cottage, I thought for a scienist, you'd be smarter."
The head returns to the safety of the cottage.
>>182427
Actually I wasn't. I never said I followed you. But you started talking to me and I rolled with it.
>>182427
"Did you think, when I said 'murderer,' that I meant your ally? That's rich. I meant you."
I turn, and go home.
>>182447
ahahahah
>>182446
"Sure you did, I only killed your vassal once he attacked me. One kill in self defense doesn't make a murderer."
>>182476
I don't hear this, since I've left. Unfortunately I lack your magical powers of omniscience which allow you to see multiple events that occurred either far away from you or before you even awakened.
>>182483
The land rumbles as it is torn apart, the darkness filled with white as your body emits pure salt from every orifice possible, causing the realm itself to expand to the brim, before releasing its everflowing sodium to the beyond.
*a brilliant flash of light is seen throughout the land and the star is glowing brighter than ever before*
*her voice booms forth*
Madman V is now owner of the Madmans Machete
Doom Marine is now owner of the Doom Helmet
Scorpion Girl has had her weapons balanced and buffed
The King is now the owner of the Lords Breastplate
The Good Cleric now possesses the Clerics Holy Tome
Combat, summoning, and items have been slightly reworked
Curious what this means?
