I promise I will keep with this one!

I have two options which I have gauged interest in now!

FIRIBLISTAR BATTLE SAGA: Follow a "gentleman duelist" 'bold on various hijinks. Expect many stabbings, attempted heroics, and combat cutscenes.

KOBO: Guide Kobo (a something-furry who may or may not be a robot) through a battle tournament. Custom battle system will be used. Kobo will be highly customizable during the development of the tourney.

For my sake I will only do one at a time right now.

Maybe your accent gets in the way, or perhaps your point of view brushes them the wrong way.

Or maybe there is just a predisposition to kill your species on sight.

I am Firiblistar, Gentleman Duelist. And I seem to have wandered to the wrong side of town. Luckily my quick footing allowed me to lead them to the dark corridors of the local sewer system.

Dare not travel towards the guards, so do I go right towards TOWN, or do I take my leave at the moment and go down to the CAVES.

------SHADOW TYPE SWITCHED----------

Lest another set of dwarves comes by, its best that I get down to the CAVES. I better take the TORCH with me for lighting. After a bit of pipes for the sewer system I make it down. Under this particular hatch are three tunnels.

The LEFT TUNNEL has the sound of civilization still and a faint bit of light.

The MIDDLE TUNNEL also has some light comming from it, but moreso.

The RIGHT TUNNEL is completely dark.

The smell of alcohol is drifting from one of the tunnels. Normally I would be disturbed, but the dwarves don't stick their beards in this part of the underground, at least normally.

No. 306112 ID: fb10df

Well we were only trying to get away from those fellows who were chasing us (I'm assuming the dwarves), it's not like you're Wanted in general, so there's no specific need to avoid people. Except, however, pirates, smugglers, and other bandit-types. I'd say go down the lit tunnel that has sounds of people inside, as it's less likely to be some secret operation in which they must kill all witnesses if they're being so overt

There's enough light this way, I put away the TORCH.

Apparently there's a...tavern...down in the caves? There's a crude sign saying "Underbar" over the doors. This would be the best place to find someth-

"Excuse me sir!"

A peckan has walked up to me. With a stack of papers.

"I represent a small clan of shadow dragon followers. Would you sign a petition granting us access to the catacombs under the main city? Or maybe you would like to join! I have some information here if you are interested!"

He fuddles through his papers and takes one out.

Do I take it or do I just go in the tavern already?
>>
No. 306665 ID: 221021

Ask why they want to see the catacombs. Are they looking for historic information? Do they have some kind of religious reason to visit them? Are they secret evil necromancers who want to raise the dead and destroy the world?

What kind of gentleman faints like that? Be careful, he might think you've fallen for him. Anyway, being a gentleman duelist isn't necessarily about behaving in a certain way, it's about other people BELIEVING you believe in a certain way. So you can murder him and then, as there are no witnesses, make up whatever story you like about what happened.

Bird: We're in the back of the Underbar. It's one of our buisness fronts to keep the pallys out of our workings

This region IS known for the many religious centers located in it. So much that many major cities have pure paladin law enforcement.

Frib: "I do apologize sir for any trouble I may have caused during my spell of unconsciousness"

sure ask him what kind of work it is. If it's not 'Throw babies into the gapping mouth of a Eldritch God' which wouldn't be gentlemanly, then you should do it. Always a good idea to be considered a friend of a group with assets.

You should attack from the left, where he is more open. If he's left handed and you're right handed and you're to the left of him then your WEPON is closer to him than his is to you... I hope that made some form of sense somehow.

Good Job, couldn't do a better deduction myself. See the big green checkmark? That's for picking a "good" option. Green Check is for good, Red X is for bad, and Purple Square is for neither.



Gnoll: "CRAP"

Hit. Stabbed him in the side.


Our next bit of tutorial is Hazard Icons. These show up as little red exclamation points and could be anywhere at any time. When these show up, you need to give me a heads up on whats about to happen so I can react accordingly. This hazard mark here is very clear, with no distractions, so lets practice shall we? What is about to happen here?

Our last part of the tutorial is Ally events. Any action box with blue inside of it is considered an ally's possible action. This includes normal actions, hazard icons, and special Freeform actions.

When you see a gold border around an action square, that's basically a big "You decides" button.
