AMETHYST

Your room has various hanging scrolls, in a language that is familiar... yet you can't seem to read it. When you look at the round table in the center, there are various scrolls, and five small boxes with a small hole in the center, as well as a small collection of white marbles.

On one box, you see a SWORD, just looking at it gives you a sense of STRENGTH.

On another, you see a SHIELD, just looking at it gives you the safe feeling of great DEFENSE.

On another, you see the carvings of what looks like a gust of WIND, looking at it gives you the feeling of great SPEED.

On yet another, you see a carving of a pair of PLAYING CARDS, you find yourself feeling a little LUCKY today.

On the final box, there is a flowing RIVER, and you feel in better HEALTH.

If you count the number of marbles, there are only 50 of them. Each box looks like it can only hold 20 total marbles.

Finally, there are 2 pieces of parchment and a quill off to the side. On the first parchment, you can read:

NAME ME
AND TELL ME FROM WHENCE WHICH I CAME:
FROM FIRE
FROM WATER
FROM EARTH
FROM ICE
FROM MAGIC


On the other:
YOU MAY GIVE ME FOUR ABILITIES. THEY MAY BE ATTACKS
OF YOUR OWN MAKING. OR THEY MAY BE SPELLS THAT WILL INCREASE MY STRENGTH, OR DEFENSE.
OR SPELLS THAT WILL DECREASE THE STRENGTH OR DEFENSE OF MY OPPONENT.


You can hear Nimue's voice, but you can't see her.

"Create a great creature of legend, heroes. I look forward to your creativity... but it is not creativity that will win this game. Your creature must survive battle with another. While creativity will serve you well, it is truly strategy that will be your greatest companion. You may choose the creature from the scrolls that will represent you in battle."

Maybe a bit more for defense and speed.

If you'd like. It does mean we'll have to sacrifice points in another area. Perhaps luck?
stigmateyes: (in serious need of a nap)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, if we have high speed and defense, we shouldn't need to rely as much on luck.
vitalsarecritical: (what was that?)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Then perhaps 13 in defense, 12 in speed, 10 in attack, and 10 in health? Do we want to put any points in luck at all?
stigmateyes: (so you say)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Let's go with the five. We can always use an ability to boost it if we need it.
vitalsarecritical: (looking off distantly)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Very well. That takes care of all of our points.

[. . .]

I admit I'm neutral on all of the elements presented.
stigmateyes: (let's see here)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Magic sounds like a good overall. But it might be the weakest because of the flexibility.
vitalsarecritical: (per... so... na????)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
What sort of element is "magic" anyway?
stigmateyes: (what I seek is...)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
My guess is that it's a mix of all of them. With no true affinity but some aspect of each. That's pretty much how it is for a mage.
vitalsarecritical: (welcome to caduceus how may I help you)

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[nods] If you'd like, we can choose it anyway. I admittedly have no idea how these elements are supposed to work.
stigmateyes: (bring it)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Lightning is my favorite, which doesn't really fit into any of those so magic's close enough. We could make an ability to specific counter an elemental type with its opposite too.
vitalsarecritical: (what was that?)

[IDK MY BFF RPG LOGIC???]

. . . all right.
stigmateyes: (but my pillow ;;)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Guess we should choose a monster before we come up with the special abilities...
vitalsarecritical: (looking off distantly)

[soooo out of my element here]

Perhaps. . . a cat?
stigmateyes: (pillow talk)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... how about that warrior-looking one? The Justice Archon?
vitalsarecritical: (nurse angie to headquarters)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
I have to admit I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, so I'll trust your judgement. She does look like a seasoned warrior.
stigmateyes: (yes a dango empire sounds wonderful rly)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
We could make her blond... Then she'd be really scary.

Let's call her the Dango Guardian.
vitalsarecritical: (but I am currently reading)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[. . .]

You're modeling her after that woman on Tiger's Eye?
stigmateyes: (there's no need to resort to violence)

Haaaah, Ferris can be really scary. It's flattery!
vitalsarecritical: (derek I am not your gd secretary)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
If you insist.
stigmateyes: (might as well)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Let's see. Special abilities.

Secret Technique Slash: Nullifies special ability attacks for a turn.

Worshiping Break: Eat dango and increase either luck or health stats for one turn.

Storytelling: Lowers defense for one turn.

Sneak Play: Temporary becomes element that counters opponent for one turn.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Do any of these attacks do damage?
stigmateyes: (waking up to you)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] stigmateyes 2012-10-23 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
We could add that to the slash attack.
vitalsarecritical: (I am a pleasant nurse)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] vitalsarecritical 2012-10-23 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
All right. I think that settles everything, then.
