Fire Emblem: The Crumbling Courts (Chapter 1: Clue Hunting)

[GenetiXientist]

Waiting on battles/everyone else.

[snoomanwaff]

Well I'll go with cO's plan and wait for the Axe knight at R4 to die before moving there and attacking the Sword knight at Q3 with Light.

[Red709]

so did we want me and siginak to plink that Sword Knight and let Cline eat him or have siginak weaken him, Cline eat him, and leave me in reserve?

actually wait, siginak and I together can take out the sword knight if we both attack because I double for 5 and he's does a straight 9 damage due to 0 res

so should I hang back and wait then?

[Palamedes]

Might be a good idea to jump in front of Blue if he takes a hit from the axe knight Red. Just me though.

[Red709]

awright I'll wait then

though if the mage is in range of him he'll die anyways prolly..........................

[Palamedes]

Blue's not moving, so he should be fine. It's the archer I'm worried about.

[Red709]

eh well he'll still be able to get hit if I'm in front of him
it'll stop GX from getting nailed if he heals blue from behind him though

[g1nf1zz]

Welp, Riot's staying put until the hallway clears itself.

[Dais]

(RN 32, 75) Seras sinks an arrow into the Axe Knight for 9 damage.

Seras +10 Exp, +1 Bow Mastery, -1 Iron Bow use

(RN 28, 17) Blue switches targets, leaping at the Axe Knight and hacking at him for 8 damage.
(RN 17, 53) The Axe Knight desperately hacks back and hits Blue for 11 damage.
(RN 4, 14) Blue cuts the Knight off of his horse and finishes him off, doing another 8 damage.

Blue +30 Exp, -11 Hp, +2 Sword Mastery, -2 Iron Sword use

(RN 45, 11) Siginak blasts the Sword Knight with Light for 9 damage and nearly knocks the Knight off of his horse.

Siginak +10 Exp, +1 Light Mastery, -1 Light use

Let me know if I missed/messed up any moves, as always.

[Palamedes]

Damnit boss get out of there!

Cline moves to Q4 and attacks the sword knight.

(Unless someone else really wants the kill or something.)

[GenetiXientist]

Okay, waiting for everyone to move before I inevitably heal Blue.

[Red709]

uh Spirit moves in front of Blue... crap no tabs what square is that

[Dais]

uh Spirit moves in front of Blue... crap no tabs what square is that

That's Q3. The Sword Knight is currently there, just FYI.

[Red709]

ah
Spirit to Q3 as soon as it's unnoccupied then

[causticlyOptimitious]

Uhh... that's not a good idea. The Sword Armor and Archer can both attack you for 9 there, each at upwards of 70 accuracy. (75 and 78, respectively)

[Red709]

ugh but if I don't then we're risking your life instead

also if Dais moves the archer first it can ping GX in the face too

[GenetiXientist]

I can survive a hit from the archer.

[Red709]

FINe let blue get his butt kicked then Spirit to S4 once Cline gets his heavily armored butt outta my way

[Dais]

Waiting for FuriousSquid to give Alera an action. Don't think I missed anything at least.

In the meantime I've been meaning to ask how all of you would prefer I handle what would be cutscenes in the games. Should I handle dialogue for your characters or just skip cutscenes and have infodumps to cover the plot of each chapter? The only other alternative I can think of would be having the NPCs say stuff and then giving people a chance to respond, but that would be pretty slow, plus not fair for those who don't care about RPing. Also cutscenes aren't entirely essential of course.

[GenetiXientist]

I think you should handle dialogue.

[FuriousSquid]

Yeah, I think it's probably best if you handle that.

Alera stays where she is, for now.

Edit: Order cancelled.

[GenetiXientist]

I suggest you move SOMEWHERE. I can't heal Blue if you don't, which means he probably dies.

[Dais]

(I interpreted FS's command as a wait but not an end turn before GX said anything, just to try to maintain neutrality and all that. If I interpreted wrong FS just say so.)

Cline and Spirit's moves.

(RN 67, 63) Cline stabs through the Sword Knight with his lance for 12 damage, killing him.

Cline +30 Exp, +1 Lance Mastery, -1 Iron Lance use

QE: Regarding the whole dialogue thing I ask for a few reasons. The primary one is that I'm fairly uncomfortable writing people's characters because I don't want to have to single anybody out for being the insensitive jerk or coming off as silly or something. I have to make sure said people are o.k with it first. Another is that it requires people to provide me with bios, which isn't a problem for anybody except Askia I guess. Also like I said cutting out cutscenes is a perfectly acceptable thing. Primarily I want to give you guys the choice.

[FuriousSquid]

I suggest you move SOMEWHERE. I can't heal Blue if you don't, which means he probably dies.

Fair point. Okay, Alera: S3->S5 (after Red frees it up).

(Although honestly, those guys seem pretty hell-bent on staying put. I doubt Blue has anything to worry about. Still, it's more efficient this way.)

[GenetiXientist]

Aran goes to S3, heals Blue
