Don't Roll To Dodge - RPG Edition

[FlamingRok]

Changelog: Bookworm's Research no longer gives EXP (this combined with Research flagging you as part of a battle gives too much EXP).

Player Turn
LaserTurtle tries to move down multiple times, but ends up just running into Raitaki a bunch. His speed boost also wears off.
Patorikku moves down twice, and just waits for Smashy to smash the Bakebake.
aUsernameIsFineToo draws his bow excitedly, and fires an arrow at the Bakebake next to bigyihsuan, defeating it. aUsernameIsFineToo, bigyihsuan, and Miniking1 gain 15EXP each and 1 Cash. bigyihsuan levels up to level 3! After that, he fires two additional arrows at Bakebake 3, dealing (1+1) damage.
Kasu moves next to the exit of the tower.
Smashy confirms that at least in his eyes, the Bakebake is spooky. He then punches it twice, smashing it into spectral pieces? He also gains 15EXP and 1 Cash. Afterwards, he defends against any future Bakebake attacks.
MewMewHeart tells Miniking1 to wait before moving, and heals him (+4EXP), warning him of danger. She prepares a spell in case any of the Bakebake come within range.
Miniking1 (who otherwise would've went before many of these players) thanks MewMewHeart for the advice and heal, and heads south thrice to try and reach the town.
Raitaki evades the trees in his way, moving left once and down once as well, because Miniking1 has blocked part of his movement plan.
The Hating Hater installs the newest update to his ATK drive, and rolls around the tree. Unfortunately, all Bakebake are out of range.
bigyihsuan successfully makes it to the town, and rushes to the hospital. He heals fully, and pays hospital fees of 10 Cash (price build for each heal, the build is separate from every other player).
an unmatched sock listens carefully to the battle ongoing outside of the tower.

Enemy Turn
Green Bakebake 2 moves up twice and licks Patorikku, dealing 2 damage.

Green Bakebake 3 fires basic danmaku at Smashy once, dealing 0 damage. It them moves to the right once and licks Smashy once more, dealing another 0 damage.


Human Village Turn 7

Path to Tower Turn 22

Mystic Tower Floor 1 Turn 20


(See, the Bakebake haven't even done anything to Smashy. They can hurt Patorikku still though. Huh.)
Next Update: When all players post, or within the next 24 hours (or when real life stops kicking me)

[MewMewHeart]

> Move to the right three times then down once.
> Still need to punish the person who woke up the dead and perhaps need to go back to town to learn more priest like stuff...

[LaserTurtle]

>Warm up, down 1, left 1, and down more if I'm not blocked by now.

[an unmatched sock]

Gah, I never remember to update when I have the opportunity, and I remember or see it when I can't.

>Exit the tower, enough lazing around! There are no hats or items to gain by sitting around.

[The Hating Hater]

> Run over the bakebake for massive damage.
> "BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

[Neovereign]

>Go to that closer Bakebake and Slash it.
"Let's just put these dead to rest, I've had enough to deal with today. I wonder why they came here suddenly anyways...man, I'm starting to wish I could remember some stuff..."
>Attempt to ponder which house I came from and what happened recently in the village again.
*By the way, do we keep anything like stats, levels, or items if we switch classes?

[Patorikku]

> Stab the lower Bakebake once, then proceed to slice at the one to your left twice.

[Kasu]

> Head back outside.

[aUsernameIsFineToo]

It looks like the others are well-equipped to defeat the remaining enemies, so I'll just make my way toward the village.

[Raitaki]

>Move down twice (and right once if I can't stop on that tile because somebody else is there) and cast Dark Bolt on the nearest ghost if it's still there and in range.

[Smashy]

> Escape from the (likely non-existant because defeated) spooky into the town

[Failure McFailFace]

>left and up to the store, i need a weapon

New mechanic: Auto-Movement
Basically, for one turn, I shall move your character in a general direction that I believe you were originally heading based on your previous turn. After this turn though, it's back to doing nothing. This mechanic is being implemented as to be generous to the players who aren't exactly on their A game with activity (not meant to be an insulting statement!).

Miniking1 enters the village and goes straight to the store. He buys two apples, and then proceeds to greet the person outside the house. He asks if she knows anything about specific circular objects that could fit inside the wall of the tower.
"Oh, right, that tower. Well, I was researching it myself, as I wasn't confident in my ability to tackle the tower myself. Surprisingly, there's a lot of information of it spread around, through various old tablets. They're in a cryptic language, but I've been taught to read this language, or at least, to a certain degree. The circular object...well, put simply, it'll be a glowing orb with a specific magical property to them. It is foretold that when this tower rises, six of these unique orbs are materialized into the land that the tower is summoned into. You only need one orb to unlock this type of wall, and the one who had summoned the tower can open the walls at will. Chances are however, that whoever had summoned this tower isn't leaving anytime soon. If you have anything else you may want answers to involving that tower, ask away! I am somewhat knowledgeable about the..." She blinks after you tell her about the paper that MewMewHeart has. You couldn't really tell, but you swear you saw a smirk form for just a moment. "Really? If you bring it here, I may be able to decode it. After all, I don't have much use for it, and someone's gotta solve this incident..."
The Hating Hater bleeps and bloops sadly over to the village. It's hard to tell if it's crying, because it's a robot.
aUsernameIsFineToo arrives at the village, safe and sound.
MewMewHeart, relieved that the current crisis has been averted, starts to head back to the village.
Kasu also starts advancing to the town.
Smashy heads to the most knowledgeable part of the village to find information onto this Inner Shard: the library. Inside, he finds what appears to be a human history teacher. "Hello, what may you be looking for today?" You inform her of your current situation. "Ah, these shards? I know what they can do, but I personally can't do anything about said shard. It can enhance your abilities further when applied correctly. Patchouli Knowledge of the Scarlet Devil Mansion may be able to help you. The mansion is located nearby the Misty Lake, or the lake next to the tower. Unfortunately, you can't fly...but someone in this village may be able to help you out. Try to convince the guards of creating a way to the mansion."
bigyihsuan buys two apples, and a plastic sword. He equips the sword and researches it, though he can't find out anything new about it. He increases his attack, and finds a rock. He tries to sharpen the plastic sword with the rock, but doesn't succeed with this, as the plastic sword has a hollow interior.
Raitaki walks to the village (Auto-Move action).
an unmatched sock leaves the tower (Auto-Move action).

"Sorry, I uh, never caught your name; Who are you? I'm Mini and the people I'm traveling with are umm... Ya know I've rarely spoken with them and don't know most of their names ether, but our group is slowly getting stronger and soon we'll be enough to get to the bott- top of this tower. And I'm sorry but Ms. Mew is still coming back on the path from the tower and you'll need her permission to see the paper because I don't think she'd like me stealing it, even for a second... Sooo, all we need to do is find magic orbs in order to progress through the tower right? If that's the case then the guards should let us venture out more freely to search for them, because we're stuck right now. We need an orb to get past that wall and unless we can fly, we can't get past the lake with the broken bridge on the way to the tower. Oh, speaking of which, we also met a Bug looking girl umm, lecture us and swearing vengeance, then fly away when we defeated this guy" >Show Bzzit card. " I-It was self defense though, I almost died and one of our members actually did earlier... but he... came back. Anyways, do you know if she was tied to the tower by any chance and also, HOW CAN SOME OF THESE PEOPLE FLY!?" By the way, do you know if any other groups have ever braved the tower and if they...survived?
