Oh wow. It's another glorious day in my fortified prison cell. Surrounded by my playful guards who will enjoy a round of 'punch the prisoner' with every guest. I wonder what fun things I can do today.

Oh wait. I can't.

Yippee.

I have some stuff going on right now, so expect the updates to be reeeally slow. I'll try to speed things up next year.

Look behind the wall.

Check green stuff. It's gotta be growing for a reason, right? Perhaps a clue how to get out

Just a voice inside your head that's always been there but got bored being silent and decided to talk for once in their miserable and quiet existence. YOU'D get bored if you said nothing for the XX years of your life too.

... Then why didn't you say anything during my centuries-long tour of- whatever, make up whatever you want, I don't care. I'm so royally @#$%ed that complete insanity would be a mercy.

Story of my goddess-damned life.

You're clearly newborn mad voices in my head or scryers from... a certain 'elsewhere'.

It's just mold. We don't get to eat it.

Uh-huh. And just how do I 'look behind' over two feet of solid bedrock?

There was a phrase given to us. "There is something behind the wall of your cell; you just need to look where you once had belief in your despair."
That last bit has two interpretations I can think of: either you believed in something that gave you despair, or your despair drove you to believe in something you normally wouldn't. Which one?

... Y-you...
You already know, don't you?
Is this funny? Do you think that we wanted-
You can't just-
*deep breath*
We are done talking about this.

And what's with all this obsession over this wall! Bang-bang-bang it doesn't-

*Ka-thunk*

... I hate you.

I've been having writer's block so I'll just ask for audience input.

I've never been so ecstatic to see sub-standard army gear in my life and... what the hell are these?

5X Slash

[Note that natural dodge chance is currently 5%*Dexterity stat.
There are benefits to mixing block and dodge strategies; if your character has block remaining but manages to dodge an attack that would otherwise reduce said block, that block turns into Combo Tokens, which can be used to block attacks on the next turn or for stronger attacks. Most standard/common cards don't use combo tokens though.]
[All game mechanics may change as the quest continues.]
[Suggest ideas for Common-Uncommon grade equipment. I'll make cards based on the properties of the equipment.]

throwing knives, one shouldn't be found wanting of a ranged option. and maybe like a buckler or gauntlet for some defence

A handful of small metal balls, smooth and cool to the touch.

A thick tallow candle with a curious but calming fragrance.

A smoking pipe carved from gleaming white bone.

A resilient arrowhead with an impeccable edge.

A well-worn worry stone.

A promise yet to be kept.

I don't have the work ethic to draw the cards needed, so I'll just list them here for now.

... Okay. These are playing cards that pretend to be real girls. Har. Har. Ha-
Huh? I can't... hm...
Okay, I think I understand. If I equip the gear, I can use the card enchanted to its effects. They're like two-dimensional brass jail bars otherwise. I've never seen this kind of magic before... but then, nobody ever saw magic from beyond the nether before...

I'll list the equipment, you remember everything for me:

Sword of Dickens
Temporary +1 to Dexterity when an associated card is played. Does not stack.
Cards:
Slash X4 {
DMG = 2+STR/2;
ACC = 10+STR*5+DEX*10
Abilities {
Bleed 2; //Causes opponent to lose HP each turn. Bleed 2 typically causes 2 damage for 3 rounds. Attacks that bleed will reset the bleed timer. Each turn, based on the target's remaining HP, Bleed has a chance to decrease in intensity or duration.
IF Stealth -> DMG *= 2, Takedown; // Takedowns are silent.
}
}
Backstab {
DMG = 1;
ACC = 50 * DEX * 5;
Abilities {
IF Focused -> DMG *= 2, ACC += 50;
IF Target has Stunned, Dazed, Confused, Distracted -> DMG *= 2, ACC += 25;
IF Stealth -> DMG *= 4, ACC += 50, Takedown;
}
}
Blunt Strike {
DMG = 2+STR/4;
ACC = 3.75 * DEX + 3.75 * STR;
Abilities {
ACC += Cards Used * 10;
Target Stunned
If Stealth -> Target KO//Nonlethal Takedown
}
}

Crossbow
Durability 20
Ammo //Is not destroyed when durability reaches 0.
Take Aim effects are doubled
Cards:
Blindfire X2 {
Damage: 6+(DEX-10)*.125
Accuracy: (STR>8?0:2)*10%+ DEX*8.75%
Abilities {
Throatsplitter: 50% chance of Takedown.
If Augmentations > 2, AP Cost reduced to 0. //Augmentations refers to upgrades to this card and/or the equipment connected to this card.
}
}
Take Aim X2 {
ACC of all cards connected to this card's equipment increased by 5*DEX
}

Standard Throwing Knives
Durability: 20 (+Retrieve Knives)//If used 20 times, destroy this equipment. This counter may be replenished with the Retrieve Knives card.
Cards:
Throw X 3 {
DMG = 2 + STR / 2;
ACC = 10 * DEX + MAX(10, 2.5*STR);
Abilities {
Coat; //When a status effect card is played, double its effect with this card
}
}
Fan Fire {
DMG = 1 + STR / 2;
ACC = 7.5 * DEX
Abilities {
This card's attack is played thrice. Enemy Dodge decreased by 25 this turn.
Uses 5 Equipment Durability
}
}
Retrieve Knives {
IF Equipment Durability < 20 -> Equipment Durability += 3
ELSE Equipment Durability += 1
}

Depleted Wisdom Incense
If used in 5 battles consecutively, destroy Depleted Wisdom Incense and increase the user's Wisdom score by 1 Permanently.
Cards:
Awareness {
+2 to Wisdom Stat for 6 turns
+10 to Dodge Stat for 6 turns
}
Thinlight {
Removes Darkness Penalty//Characters without Darksight develop a malus that can cause them to draw Stumble cards while in the dark.
}

Now, do I kill them from a distance, or do I sneak up and silently slit their throats?
