Castle Game: avante en garde

[idolpro]

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?


(Rules & questions are here. Cleo is your gamerunner!)

Looks like it.

Re: DISCUSSION

This fucking sucks.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

No one better give us shit for havin' to resort to this.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

Who the fuck would? We've got next to nothing!

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

I dunno, people who expect us t'be actual honourable knights?

Fuck that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

Pretty sure it's not a knight's job to just lay down and die. Anyone who thinks it is can get fucked.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Hopefully with the circumstances being what they are, we at least won't be a target.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

No shit we won't be. The only targets are gonna be at the top.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Mm.

Can I see your phone for a moment?

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

Sure...?

[ Hands it over ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[ she looks at the display, and then sighs. ]

I'll do it later. Just don't worry about being able to buy the ability to heal from piercing damage. I'll make sure you have it if it's needed.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

Aa...okay. I only need a hundred more to get it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Just, ah, if it comes up—it does hurt a little, before it starts healing. I, ah, wasn't entirely warned.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

I can handle a little pain.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

That's... good, then.

We'll all come out the other side of this, one way or another.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

...yeah. Just hope we get to keep all our parts attached.
