Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~

I noticed that I never actually wrote enough about religion or it's variations in this world. So there is a new text of all of these in the main post of the OOC. Read it if you'd like! It might help flesh out your character to the more religiously inclined characters.

"All of you are too kind." His demeanor seems to light up just slightly. "But also too optimistic. The war is hopeless, The Kingdom of Caelum has been breached once in all it's history, and it was by vile demons. All of our soldiers going to those wretched sands die, and the same will happen to my Renee." Hayden sighs, he truly seems to have lost all hope of seeing his daughter again. "On her 16th birthday I saved up a year's money and bought her a fine silk red ribbon. She should still be wearing it to this day. If the Goddess wills it, that's how you will find her. However, if you really want to help me, help everyone instead. Like you have today. Do what I as an old fisherman will never be able to do; save this Kingdom."

Speaking of +1s GUESS WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW OH BOI OH BOI GET READY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Current Units: Hoshiko the Righteous Ecquis Terrin, Son of Lady Aisha Luka Klarenfilia Meredith "The Undying" Rosalvya Adriaen Well that sure was something. The little +1 is the stat that leveled up! No one had to go to preferred stats but some people sure rolled better than others. The RP continues!

The man clearly didn't want to answer that question. His hopeful smile from being saved distorted into... Something else. More of a disgruntled sad look. He took a deep sigh before he answered. "I lived in a small house, and I had a single daughter. Her name was Renee, bless her heart. She was 16, barely fighting age. The soldiers a few weeks ago knocked on my door, ordering her to join the draft. I told them to take me instead; that my old bones hardened from fishing would serve better than a frail young sweet girl." He clenched his hands into fists and closed his eyes. "They took us a both instead. They put us both in this jail, and a few weeks ago they took her. I'm not sure if they ever meant to take me as well, but I will surely never see my daughter ever again."

As the jails are unlocked, the prisoners inside smile. All of them look exhausted and hungry, but everyone is able to get up by themselves and leave towards the outside of the jail. The old man sits inside the jail until they all leave, and finally he steps out himself. He steps forward and puts his hands together. "The Fiery Goddess bless you all. You saved us." He sighs in relief. "My name is Hayden, I'm a fisherman from Laguna Bay. Boys and girls are forcefully drafted in the army. They put them in places like these to wait, and every week they are shipped off in groups. These are the lucky few who haven't been sent yet."

[Enemy Phase] Maybe it's the survival instinct, maybe it's just a delusional thought that he can still survive but Burt tries anyways. Raising his his axe he let's out a brutal war cry as he attacks Rosalyva. Burt is much too sluggish; Rosalyva's sword opens a large wound, a straight line across his abdomen that makes the leader fall over. He is desperately trying to get up, trying to raise himself with his arms but doens't have the strength. "M-my... M-my promotion..." Are his last words. His eyes close. [Victory!] Final Results: Looking around the party will notice that the priest is nowhere in sight. He probably ran off in fear. You get the feeling however that he is not calling for reinforcements. He was way too scared for that. Rummaging through Burt's belongings you find the keys to the jailhouse. Opening the door that Burt was guarding reveals a completely windowless room. The sides are lined with jails, and inside them are young men and women. Teenagers, most of them younger than yourselves. They all cower away from the jail bars as you open the door. They look surprised, scared, hungry and tired. However, someone comes forward. Unlike the others, he isn't a teenager. A fairly old man, with messy dirty gray hair and visible wrinkles comes forward. "You aren't the jail guards." This affirmation seems to calm the youngsters around him. "Who are you?"

Alright friends, those who are good at math and checked Rosalyva's sheet will realize that in the enemy phase as long as she doesn't miss she will instantly kill Burt. Tomorrow I will post with the conclusion of the map, I'll be skipping over Adriaeen's turn unless he posts before I do. Well done everyone I hope you had fun with this map! Things will wind down as the in between chapter moments are more RP driven.

Burt seems shocked. "T-the Misguided Children!? You lot?!" As if in a moment of realization he understands in how much danger he is in. He readies his axe, with a fierce determination to survive. The fight seems completely in Rosa's favor as she once against wounds Burt and easily dodges his counter attack. His movements are getting sluggish, and he is starting to bleed as much as he is sweating. Cheat Sheet: [Player Phase Continues]

Friends I don't want to be annoying but let's speed things up a bit, the map is very close to ending. As soon as Burt dies the map ends. I understand most people don't really have any actions so if you just want to hold you can say it here on OOC.

Already ready with his axe, Burt waits Rosalyva's first move. Burt suffers a slash across his torso leaving him bloodied. As he brings his axe down, Rosalyva side steps making the hand axe lodge itself firmly into the ground. "Pesky little mouse, stop moving around." He grumbles as he pulls out another hand axe seemingly out of nowhere. Cheat Sheet: [Player Phase Continues]

Burt was raised by a mage mother, however while he learned the incantations of finding 30 hand axes out of nowhere he never inherited his mother's magical powers. His Mag stat is 1. And he's a boss he needs to do more damage than that!

"Soaring what? My axe soars pretty well. Here let me show you." Burt retorts with a cocky grin, and readying himself for battle. Burt takes the arrow in stride and cheers as his own attack hits the mark. He grabs another axe from his back. Cheat sheet: [Player Phase Continues]

[Enemy Phase] Burt, the last guard who was still holding his ground grunted. "Useless all of them. I didn't need them anyways." He slams his axe against the ground digging it into the dirt, and brings his fist together making a crushing motion. "Come to me little outlaws. Each one of you is a heavy raise on my next pay, he he he." Burt holds The priest who is still alive cowers behind some trees, scared to do anything else. Priest 1 moves to E12 Turn 6 Cheat Sheet: [Player Phase]

Letting non-combatants live is a choice. I know the map clear does say "Defeat all enemies" but technically that priest isn't an enemy. So if you actually want to kill him, chase him down and kill him I guess. After I realized how sad the priest was I felt bad for him and so there is the option of not killing him. Anyways! Post up sometime today! Edit: And that's my post. Rec4lls I didn't notice until now but in your post you moved to the same place Ecquis already was so I put you directly behind him.

So I wanted to ask who else is keeping up with this? It's being so fucking awesome. For who doesn't know you can catch up with this video It's a huge ARG that is being solved with back and forth puzzles, a ton of hidden content that is making some of video game's smartest people go nuts. Character wise we know that Sombra is a hacker, more than likely a stealth hero probably able to make others stealth as well, and she is Mexican. So thoughts Reborn?

Meredith's blow knocked the man back and down to the ground. He won't be getting up anymore. Cheat Sheet: [Player Phase Continues]

The archer caught without a nocked arrow, takes Rosalyva's slash blood starting to soak his uniform from the several wounds he's suffered so far. Cheat Sheet: [Player Phase Continues]

Post in progress: Terrin's lightning bolt is hurled straight at the priest who looks scared now with most of his fellow guards dead. The Priest's robes seem to dissipate the magic and he comes out of the lightning bolt with only a few scorch marks. On the other side of the map Ecquis makes his way towards the sign near the road. The sign reads: "Jailhouse, trespassing not allowed! Under the King's law, Guards will attack on sight! You've been warned!" Hm? Mira seems to sniff something out on the ground! Ecquis found 5 dragons (the currency of this country) on the ground! [Enemy Phase] Priest 1's Self Healing activates. His wounds close and he returns to full health. The priest looks scared, confused and even more scared. "M-mercy you brigands mercy! I am a godly man, leave me be!" He takes off running at full speed. Priest 1 moves to E13 The other archer seems to have other plans though. He plans to see this fight to the end. He runs forward, nocks and arrow, and takes aim at Klaren. Archer 1 moves to G13 and attacks Klaren. The archer's arrow strikes true, but so does Klaren's light the exchange ending with both sides firmly on their feet.
