Event~ Turn 7 Enemy Phase-Start!

Hmm, She's rather keen, if a bit of an idiot.

Adria used Sense Magic- Rolled a 1, then a 88.

"Figures the fields would be disrupted. No matter."


..

"Holy Maiden, Ma'am."


"Yes, young man. My, you look a bit ruffled."


"Yes, My partner died to her, I barely got out of it alive."

More Importantly, his weapon didn't cause a scratch."


"Is that so.."

Intellect roll- 1, then 65.


That should do nicely. They should be nearly in position by now.

Roll-5


"The All-Heart Shattered as Light faded from the Sky~"
"Darkness shall Descend upon this World.."

"But in the Bleakest night, there shines Hope,"

"In a Simple Soul~"


"Obscura!"

"Turn back the Clock once more!!"


Battle: True Hit-OVERCLOCKED 220%



A shining green light flies high into the Sky-


Lissele has moved to (J-13>N-11)

"Guess it's time.." Liselle muses as she sees Adria's Attack.

Battle: Rolled 6, then 82; OVERFLOW 7!

"Dark Seal!"

Dark lines begin racing up the Barrier.




Meanwhile, to the Northeast~


"That's a bit much... Ah well, Might as well do my part then."

A Pegasus flies higher into the Sky.

Battle: Rolled a 6, then a 55. OVERFLOW 6!

A brilliant field of shooting stars erupt from the Knight, no, Valkyrie..


"Light~Seal!!"

Dodge Roll: Terissa rolled a 4 and a 90.

Since this can count as 5, you have 1 turn remaining before the Prologue Ends.

This is not the End of your Story quite yet though~




GM-Note: This is a ridiculous series of numbers to see in a row.. TRIANGLES for days.

Turn 8 begins and ends with a Light-Show~






<sub>Also, you can spend 2 move to climb them at the moment. The door was linked to the anti-flight.
Be glad you actually have enough move. The paths taken, and those paths not chosen.
Had you gotten anything less than 4 on that, it would be over now.

Bedtime now.</sub>

[Lenglon]

M4, interact with the center of the barrier there.
((Well this is disappointing. I was sure I could get the 200xp mark this very turn, when they attacked me. only was a single combat away from it.))
((At least I can get all secondary objectives completed.))
((I look forward to Everand's story. also to finding out what exactly I'm about to get sealed in, why, and how Everand is likely to stumble on to me.))
((By the way, not sure if you were tracking or not, but I actually didn't bother keeping track of 80% of the units in the battle. I only kept track of the ones posing an immediate threat. meaning Adria, her escorts, the L Pal that climbed after me, and the Bow Knights. Literally ignored every other enemy.))
((The reason my action doesn't have a grid location is I don't know where the objective location's grid location actually is. I figure it just makes sense to leave the pathing to you, given the circumstances.))

[TricMagic]

GM notes-

I'll write up the conclusion after I get back. Those numbers are patently ridiculous though.

And your objective is the Center of the Spiral/Barrier, M-4.

What your roll to sense the barrier could have told you is that it was meant to keep something in, not out. That's just a side effect.

And though you avoided panic, you still panicked and fled. Granted I don't blame you. Adria is more of a Black Knight to you right now.

Magic is 28
Skill is 29.
Hit at the end tells you something else.
Luck is 30.
Tome hit is 120%

In addition, her HP was 48.

[Lenglon]

The choice to flee actually was pre-planned, I wanted that really nice looking 1-wide-corridor to keep from being surrounded. And since I had to go in there anyway for my objectives, going in to avoid being cut off just made sense.

Time to Start~
Prologue Mission: Highway Robbery!

Spoiler: But First, (click to show/hide)

The Hint Box Arrives~

If you read the info in Terissa's Story, you should know how this works, but here's a refresher and some info pertinent to you..

Enemy Strategy: If you think the enemy will just charge into you, here's a bit of news.

The behavior of enemy units is determined by their Group, Objective, Morale, Training, Tactics, & Instinct.
Pay attention to what it is, and what it wants, and you can predict their movements.

This is somewhat important, so keep it in mind. The Wagon has supplies so they can heal if necessary.


Banditry Move Type- Being a bandit leader, you are capable of Walking through Hills at no Move Penalty.
You can train units to do so as well. All your units you have right now have no trouble moving through the Hills.
In Addition, you and your units can cross 1-tile rivers for 2 move.


Skills- At the moment, you and the other Bandit are the only one with a skill.
It should be noted that enemies can have skills as well.


Poison- Probably the best bet of a well prepared Bandit in the Darklands. Your group has prepared poisons that will greatly weaken Laguz afflicted with it.
It should be noted that Laguz have a tendency to quickly burn it out of their system, but they can succumb to it when weakened.

There are multiple types of poison you can prepare, but we'll stick to a Simplified version for the Prologue battle.

Note that Venim weapons cannot be repaired.


Special Bonus- Ambush[/b]: You have set up an Ambush well ahead of time. All your units gain stealth and a chance to gain a bonus to their first attack if they remain unnoticed.
Currently, you can only use Bandits to Lure. Any others will remove this bonus.

Special Action: Lure- As the Bandit Leader, you can Lure opponents to you, through taunting, or simply appearing while everyone else is hidden around you.
Luring will be explained later, when you can use it in any other way.



All these are rather important, but there is one skill you are missing, the ability to gain tactical data on the fly.
You will only receive basic details on enemies.

This can be rectified at a later date; as you can get the info yourself.


Now, on with the Show~

Win Conditions- Survive, Loot the Caravan, Mark and Jane Survive.
Optional- All your units survive, Rout the enemy.

Spoiler: Enemy Data (click to show/hide)

Cat Laguz
Hp: 26
Str: 6
Skl: 6
Spd: 8
Def: 3
Move: 4 untransformed| 6 Transformed?

[Lenglon]

Who is what dot on the map?

[randomgenericusername]

Do I pick where my units start? Can I use my brigand ally instead of Everand for luring? What's the skill you mentioned than I and my brigand have? Is there a "caravan" or supply unit I have to attack to loot and complete the objective? Are the cats moving towards or away from the mountains?

Sorry for asking so many questions, but I really want to not make any mistakes in this chapter.

[TricMagic]

The L is Everand, J is Jane, M is Mark. Their groups are near them in the same terrain.
The Yellow mark is the Caravan.

I actually did this map first, so it's a bit rough, and the Laguz can't Enter J-8.


Any thoughts on how your Prologue went Lenglon?


-------
Fair enough.

K8 is the objective you have to loot, but as Jane told you- you do have to worry about the boss. One guess where he'll be on this map, and the first two don't count.

The Caravan is at rest, so it won't be moving this battle. And yes, your brigand ally can be the initial lure.

The Laguz have a Move of 4 Un/\transformed, so using Everand and his other bandit will allow you to get 2 combats in on turn 1.

And that skill is King of the Mountain. And you yourself have Raid.

As I said, Training is something unlocked in chapter one.

I'll probably get to this battle on tomorrow. If you have any other questions before then, please ask.

[Lenglon]

My prologue felt a touch unfair because the objectives and situation changed a lot without warning, making my plans nullified several times. Most noteworthy turns were when Adria entered and when the map ended. It actually was well-balanced with what occured, but the information-gap made it frustrating to play.

Story-wise I have several questions: Why did Terissa want to go into the barrier in the first place, what happened to her in the final turns, from Terissa's perspective and What did Terissa find at the center of the barrier?
It felt like the final turn was left out.

If you think those question's answers should be hidden, I'm totally up for getting them via PM.

[randomgenericusername]

I didnpt even notice the yellow symbol. Thanks for answering. So, if I let the enemy attack first they WILL transform, right? Can I kill the one cat in the bottom right with my Everand and the bandit before it transforms without using the units in stealth and then luring the rest to the mountains so that they can attack from behind?

[TricMagic]

That would be a big if- The question becomes, will you crit, cause if you don't, you're be in range of that one, and two others.

Check the bottom of Page 2, and through 3.

...Did you save your character sheet RGUN? That's the only reason I can think of you'd give up +3 defense +10 hit. And +20 evade at that.

[randomgenericusername]

Well, if it works I could be fighting 4 cats instead of 5. And enemynunits also benefit from mountains, I think, so I need to stay at the border and get the cats next to me.

I need those Laguz at either D5, D8 or F9. I wonder how will I be able to lure them there.

[TricMagic]

I mentioned this, but they do and will retreat to the caravan to heal.
But they don't have any Vuls of their own.

It normally costs 3 mov to step onto the Hill tile, and 2 to step off.

And remember your archers have poison arrows, and 1-3 range.

And it costs 5 Move to step onto a River tile for them. You can cross 1 tile of river for 2 move as long as you don't end you turn there.

Forests cost two move for all of you.


Slight edit: sorry.
Personally, you have huge advantages this fight. And they have to defend the Caravan.

[TricMagic]

I also seem to have forgotten to mention something else...

Everand's Group, Mark's Group, & Jane's Group.

Only these named characters will gain Exp.

Their group does not gain Levels through battle; how the level will be explained in Chapter 1.

But- Any Exp. they should have gained automatically goes to the Group Leader.
So none of these characters need to see combat to level.


It is however important to the Groups that they see combat, but they needn't step into the line of fire from the start.

This is Leadership, an advantage of your story's system.

Also, you do control all of those characters, I/the A.i./GM, don't.
