One player remains to send an action. Actions will be processed tomorrow, so still some room left.
One player remains to send an action. Actions will be processed tomorrow, so still some room left.
Processing actions later today. Just want a few opinions of the players before I do so, if any cares.
Should I abolish, or change a few things?
One of the things I'd like to mention: It seems some players like to start out an action after movement (E.G. Move to new location, immediate action) while others wants to move without acting, to soak it all in. Should I interpret these differences as Playstyle A and Playstyle B or shall I be strict on it? Just curious.
Another thing is that I haven't really explained how "dungeons" or "expansive areas" work.
What I thought of is that you start at the entrance, move to adjacent rooms using a movement but can't move past rooms you haven't explored. There's also option to fast-travel in these dungeons only for rooms / places that you've already explored and can use that to move to an unexplored area.
Is this a fine system, or should that be changed?
Will see what you think. Starting Round 2 later today as said.
I'm guilty of trying to stick in as many things as my agility stat allowed. My simple opinion is that players should act and then move so that they can see the real-time events that happen before them.
Your current dungeon movement is well planned. Welcome back.
Adventure Quest
Round 2, Part 1
Welcome to Round 2, or rather Chapter 2 or whatever.
Everyone have their Special Points restored each time we get to a new round.
There's also special events for each start of rounds.
Round 2 Special : Freebie Passive.
Passive is obviously, a passive aura or ability.
Only one passive may be enabled at all times.
Passives may be disabled or enabled each start of a round.
Every passive has both a buff and a debuff.
So here's the deal : You pick a Freebie Passive and you can decide to make it active right away (active now, not next turn / part), or leave it inactive.
Passive 1 :
Berserker, gain +5 Melee Weapon Damage and +3 Strength, Max HP cut by half and Endurance reduced by half.
Passive 2 :
Vampire, gain +1 to every Primary and Secondary stat, must drink fresh blood of humanoids or you will die. (100 thirst, -10 per part / turn, refill at drinking)
Passive 3 :
Pacifist, gain +2 Diplomacy and Good or +50% (whichever is the most), reduce Strength and Endurance by half or -2 (whichever is the most).
Passive 4 :
Hero, gain a random quest and if completed a new random quest is obtained, +5 Unluck.
Passive 5 :
Adrenaline, gain +2 Actions Per Turn, Max HP cut by 75% and -1 to all Primary Stats except Agility.
Passive 6 :
Handicap, gain +2 to every Primary Stat, lose Weapon Slot 2, lose the ability to gain companions and can not heal.
Once you've picked one of the six passives, you can tell me if you want it activated or not.
If you already obtained a passive, you may tell me if you want to activate it.
Now, here's a thing I didn't tell. How dungeons / expansive areas work.
Dungeon / expansive area rules :
You start at the entrance.
Move to adjacent rooms using a Movement, as if you were moving from a tile to another or basic moving to somewhere else.
You can move through all explored rooms (consider it a form of fast-travel), but not unexplored ones.
You may move from an explored room to an adjacent unexplored room.
I will notify you if you are in a Dungeon or an Expansive Area.
Certain places will have a map included.
And finally, a little explanation.
Observe actions are free.
Certain and / if's may or may not be free.
Most actions on the Macguffin chest is free.
Movement isn't an action but used at end of turn / part.
Things will be interpret differently if overpowered, E.G "Kill" will be "attack".

Was supposed to progress yesterday, but I forgot about the time and got busy.
At least Round 2, part 1 is up now. Sorry to those that waited!
Questions to host:
1. Vote is on Chapter 2.
2.What does the effect of a negative stat do?
3.When you say "companions" these refer to NPC pets right? Is there a party system?
4. I'm sure Frog did this but can we sacrifice our action/agility for faster movement? (maybe like running)
Action 1: investigate the dead body and try to get any loot from the body then i would like to go to the lock on the caravan and pour my remainder of jager in the keyhole and return to the body and use the empty jager bottle to scoop up any bloody i can get out of the body.You load the shotgun with the experimental ammo, totally not a disaster awaiting to happen.
The giftbox has been opened...
... It contains a syringe with an instruction : "Inject yourself. 40% chance to gain more endurance, 40% chance to weaken, 5% for unknown effect, 5% for death."
Obtained Suspicious Syringe.
You move out of the city. (BP - 10)
You are in a frozen wasteland full of snow and dead trees.
To the south is the City of Dexan.
To the west you can see a pack of wolves.
To the north you can see a large tower.
In the current area, you see an out of place caravan that's locked.
There's also a dead person on the ground who appears to have been shot a literal hundred times.
Action 2: then hit the with the butt of my shotgun hoping it will open up and IF it opens i would lik to observe he Loot inside.
Also i would like to Observe The tower from a distance and Observe the Pack of wolves from a distance.
Also I choose and activate my passive of vampire
Listen here in Russian,ex forces and fought in the Afghan war and the first Chechen war I drink vodka and lived in England for 13 years wanna stop me try it.
75% reducement / cut / removal. 100MHP -> 25MHP.
1.Round 3Chapter 3 on I'll change the naming to Chapter.
2. Negative stats cause debuffs and problems. Negative strength makes you weak, negative endurance makes you more easily exposed to sicknesses and bleed from most attacks, et cetera. Stats at 0 or below (-1) will be considered negative and will cut your influental stats (-3 Endrance [which is 4 Negative] will cause -40 Max HP.)
Luck on the other hand, if it reaches 0 or less the negative points are instead positive points to a hidden stat named Unluck.
There's a minimum on influental stats and may not be below it : 1 action, 10MHP (Max HP), 3 Inventory Capacity.
Maximum negative stat is -5.
3. There's NPC Companions. They act like normal enemies / NPC's except that they're a companion of yours and may be helpful to your adventure.
Most NPC's are obtained by asking the right people, doing certain quests or other conditions. None are truly permanent.
4. Movement related to changing location isn't affected by agility and action, it's universally one tile / location. There's fast travel service methods such as taxi, portals and more, certain places such as dungeons have a special fast travel method.
As for movement related to actions, agility determines how quick you are. Anyone can run / dash but the effectivity of it depends.
Depending on situation and creativity, I might allow a sacrifice.
If any answers were not adequate, feel free to rephrase / ask something else.
There's multiple consequences of impact actions.
An example, a bandit is doing a robbery at a store.
1. Kill Bandit.
2. Stop bandit.
3. Do nothing.
Killing the bandit may affect more than just his death. Families, bandit ties and so on. You've also taken a life.
Stopping the bandit either allows him to grow his own bandit band if he simply leaves, or it could as well stop him being a bandit.
Doing nothing and things will continue with the bandit's goal being successful.
There's Evil, Neutral and Good, with factions representing each. Evil factions will be more favorable towards evil players, Good will be favorable towards good players.
Only one Major faction has been met by a player so far while three minor factions has been discovered.
As for leaving random crap around, it'll be beneficial for looters or it could cause a negative / positive outcome based on what. For example leaving an entire supply of food and tools at a location may lead to the area becoming self sutained by a group of people.
Don't worry I only found him on the floor so I can loot him
also im not gonna go and kill random people for blood I will find morgues and stuff id I can otherwise I will kill people I don't like

"I have found my purpose in life", says Lyrin.
Sounds like you were eager to post this, and I'm glad to know that this world is as complex and unexpected as I never thought it was. You've answered my questions more than sufficiently and now I'm wondering why more people aren't in this. I may do some advertising. Obviously there is much to learn about this world, and I doubt my curiosity will cease. It's time to discover!

If yours isn't here, it's because I couldn't find it and would like it to be re-submitted if it was previously submitted.
Remember to pick up your freebie passive ability. It's a gift and isn't mandatory to activate.
no im not in nuclear wasteland i live in dexan and left to fond a chessboard
Listen here in Russian,ex forces and fought in the Afghan war and the first Chechen war I drink vodka and lived in England for 13 years wanna stop me try it.
I'll take the Pacifist passive.
I will activate it.
I'm in a church of shadow. I wonder if this is a minor faction I have discovered.
My helmet led me to it.
I'm sure Evelynn would be happy to be an ally. You might need to find her.
She just used her bag to go to this incredibly shadowy church(literally all shadow)
And you might need to befriend her, she might be a little mad over being banished to this realm(she's a demon)
Does anyone do story wars with RLVG?
I try to do some incredibly descriptive responses to RLVG's incredibly descriptive situations.
That's what I call it anyway.
Depending on what RLVG forces our interactions will be, we can most likely get along. Lyrin is a peace loving lady.
I'm actually next to a church right now, it has a special feature in the middle which will probably protect me from any more nuclear strikes.
RLVG is writing me many statements and I'm writing back some interpretations. I wonder if it makes hosting harder for him.
Everyone probably took vampire passive.
ANNOUNCEMENT: APPA HAS ENCOUNTERED AN HOSTILE ENTITY, THE ENTITY IS USING A RANGED MEELE ATTACK. APPA PLANS TO LEAP AND ROLL TO THE SIDE, THEN SHOOT IT IN THE UPPER TORSO AREA.
IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?
APPA should shoot entity in lower limb joint. Perhaps APPA could interrogate entity, find justifications, weaknesses.
If entity is immediately dangerous, then more lethal defense is advised of APPA
--
Ah, Abathur speech always makes me happy.
Remember to be creative.
If RLVG doesn't like it he can tell us to stop.
He also does his small retributions like when I said
"I pull out my bullets and count them. Finding 5, I chuck 4 back in my bag and fling the other one in."
I find that I instead put 1 bullet back in my bag and flung 4 in. Which sounds way cooler in my opinion.
(Don't change it. I have captain Jack sparrows gun now.(1 shot))
(Those probably weren't my exact words either though)
I took pacifist passive and activated it.
Hmm. Yes a little ambiguous.
Yes. Yes. But it turned out way cooler I can imagine just Evelynn going chucking 4 bullets in a cone into this foundation way better than just one bullet.Originally Posted by Part 6: The Jade Obelisk cont.

None can stand against the coming Darkness...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWYCS6k1IOA
Sometimes, the light can come from the darkest places...
When can we get a roundup
Listen here in Russian,ex forces and fought in the Afghan war and the first Chechen war I drink vodka and lived in England for 13 years wanna stop me try it.
One more day and I'll progress, even without having gained all submitted actions.
I would like to help out my friend DarknessB. He's probably just busy.
____________________________________

2.Avoid fighting I was not fighting
3.Buy the lowest rank items if they are being sold

2. Examine under nearby plantation
3. Examine held items
3. Draw aggro from any weaklings

4. Head north
Reality hit like a truck, so I won't be processing stuff until at least later today. Thanks for your patience.
Adventure Quest
Chapter 2, Part 2
We have changed the name from Round to Chapter for flavor reasons.
I have also rounded up hidden achievements and given an appropriate reward.
In other news, first demon has died by the hands of a player and someone has started learning to swim.
Friendly reminder that shared puzzles has a reduced reward but may still be shared.
Another friendly reminder, someone didn't pick a passive - go get it while it's still fresh!

ok firstly i would like to light the jager inside the lock then proceed to hit it after the lock has burnt out, if that happens look inside.ou investigate the body and try to get any loot from the body...
Obtained a golden lighter!
Taking out the bottle of jager, you pour the remains of the liquor through the lock on the caravan... Majority of it doesn't enter it, but certainly a quarter.
Then you use the empty bottle to scoop up any blood. The blood doesn't seem as fresh anymore and would expire soon. (Three turns)
You attempt to bust the lock open of the caravan but to no avail. It seems oddly modern and sturdy.
Observing the pack of wolves, you can see about six wolves and an additional larger wolf who seems to be feasting on a cow and three persons.
Observing the tower from a distance, it seems to be ten stories tall. It's located in BP-9.
IF that does not happen i would like to fire a experimental round inside.
SECOND ACTION
i would like to grab 2 rounds, open them and pour about a quarter of the lighter fluid in each.
Listen here in Russian,ex forces and fought in the Afghan war and the first Chechen war I drink vodka and lived in England for 13 years wanna stop me try it.
Spoiler : RLVG's Description :
Extraordinarily I feel a little bit luckier than I was before (point in luck)
I contemplate what the priest is saying
Gods? Blessings? Inbetween?
Looks like I should definitely find out about this
At the very most it will be painful and I'll incarnate as another...
I make my decision and reach out to take the cup.
I hold it in my hands and savor its scent.
I say to the priest "I will help you. For I know the pain of being banished from where you belong."
I lose my wizened look a bit and open my mouth to say something. But at the last second I change my mind. I drink the offering that is in my hand.
I wipe my mouth and ask the priest "Are there more of you in the towns somewhere in this world?"
--
That is my current situation and action all sent into RLVG.
Lyrin is pleased to hear that it was not Funce that was smited. She is also hoping that it is Calior that is learning how to swim.
Setup-post says that people can move in NW/NE/SW/SE directions, but you have only been reporting main cardinal direction's things of interest.
Has diagonal movement been disabled?
I'm only reporting surrounding information from vertical and horizontal tiles. Movement is adviced with west/north/east/south, but it IS possible to go diagonal - you just won't know what to expect.
Edit : Reason for this is actually a lazy one, information of 4 tiles + the current one is easier to track of in the excel than a whole 9 tiles.

Naw, lol. I am currently chilling out in a swimming pool with a book on ghost hunting. Living the good life, guys.
Also I have a puzzle and it's hard as hell. If I solve it, I'm pretty sure I get part of the key needed to unlock my chest...or someone else's chest, it didn't really specify.
Meanwhile DW gets to do the cool stuff while I go on holiday
You're a sitting duck Funce. You broadcasted your coordinates for Toadette to bomb! Travel is a lot slower than I expected so it is now time to enjoy the journey. One day we'll meet up- I may have to smite you though.
I guess I can brag now :D. I got two, RLVG didn't explain why though.
@Host If I keep sending you too many over enthusiastic actions every round, please put both of my points into Agility. :P
Well I've just gotten a massive quest....
I explained it in detail earlier. But from what I can tell, there is a realm that crosses with this realm, however no-one can see it unless they have some form of ability to be part of it.
I received a helmet, that used to be a pyramid ruby gem, that allows me to see into that realm and for that realm to interact with me.
I've got to go to 8 dark churches to get an audience with the darkness god, and go to 8 light churches to get an audience with the light god, where I must then kill them both, persuade a peace treaty. Or creatively find a way for them to stop fighting.
I gained a primary point as well, for reaching one of the dark churches.
If Toadette would so wish to Bomb me, she would have to find an IC reason to.
I broadcast my co-ordinates so people can enjoy my journey as much as I am.
(I think I met a major faction)
I have the Hero passive ability, so I could get a quest whenever.
At the moment, I am busy going through this cursed Palace. Need to get protection for that or else I'm fucked in terms of curses. I'm currently ghost-proof and have a book on fighting them. Meanwhile, my ally is busy in the graveyard looking at the tombstones.
Can you tell me more about the Darkness God?
