Was about to post the Dungeon Rules when I realized I didn't even give y'all your skill trees! I'm so sorry >.< I thought I sent that out already.

So be prepared for two big updates today. If everything goes well, we will be starting tomorrow ^^

The best way to explain how dungeons work would simply be to simulate one so, let's get started.

We have accepted a mission from King Bastian. Always super important. Never a waste of your time. Today, he wants us to bring him the famed Dayfall Fruit for his breakfast. All it's gonna take is a simple trip into The Forest of Unforgiving Night.

Start

The Forest of Unforgiving Night is a one-room dungeon. There is one enemy, one 1-dice chest, and one Prize.

1: Vampire Bunny (1); 15hp, 1xp The "(1)" indicates how many dice this creature can roll.



/grumbling/

"I'm one more Breakfast mission away from quitting."



"Bone Breaker!"



/still grumbling/

*end turn*





"Fury From Above!"





*end turn*




"Soul Gather!"

Succesful Weapon Enchant!

All Enemies have been defeated. Gain: Dayfall Fruit.



1: Crystal

End

Any questions on how to roll?

I have changed it so that instead of "betting high or low", whenever you roll against something or someone, you're simply win if your number is higher. However, when rolling for damage, simply do damage equal to the amount totaled on your Dice.

So just to check:

Janet: *rolls 4*
Bunny: *rolls 3*
Janet: *does 4 damage*

?

Also, who rolls for the bunny?

You roll for your enemies, just refer to their Dice number. And actually, with that combo in the Tutorial, Janet rolled 9 twice and enemies can't roll against Specials.

But, in your situation, which is looking to be just a standard hit, Janet would do 4 damage if Bunny rolled anything less than 4. In the case of Bunny matching your roll, the hit is cancelled, nothing happens. But, if Bunny would have rolled 5+, that amount of damage would have been done to you instead.

Also, whenever we finalize all of the Skills, I'll be posting them here so everyone knows what everyone else is packing.

Actually, I want to revise something.

I think we'll be dying too quickly if enemies damage us on failed hits and then get another attack phase.

Would you guys rather enemies did damage when they beat you on a hit roll, or had their own attack phase separately?

I think it would be reasonable for them to have their own attack phase. You could also just decide that a tie has the same result as either a success or a failure.

Oops! Wasn't subscribed here for some reason. Makes sense why I wasn't getting notifications. That's better. Have we decided who's posting when or is there no set order?

Just post as you can, but no double posting because this decides our posting rotation for dungeons.

aaa, so what kind of stuff should I write? like, them heading out?? or discussing/receiving the details of their mission???

sorry I'm still really new to storybooks so I'm just tryin to figure out how to write my post, because!! I do!!! wanna post!!

You could do a flashback to your character receiving their summons and then write them heading out of the gate. These first posts are more to just get a feel of our characters in the world and set up some sort of flow between us.

Things don't really start until I post again, so no pressure on these introductions. Just try to channel your character.

Aaaa ok!! I posted! Hopefully it works!

Also don't mind the nicknames Alex gave them all. He'd never say them out loud, save maybe "Sunshine" for Ari. You know he may just call him that on the daily. Only in a teasing and not an endearing way of course.

I approve of Alex's nickname. In fact, I may call Ari it in the future when talking about him.

I'd volunteer to post next, but, since I'm on vacation, I'm not sure how long that will take.

I'm probably able to get a post in by the end of tomorrow!

I promise I haven't forgotten about this - just having a really busy week. Can probably do something tomorrow evening but I might be going out to dinner with some friends.
