Princess Island  Moon Hunter
PRINCESS ISLAND
Maintaining a superior defense is the pride of the Moon Division, defending even at the expense of attacking. However, this can be hard, especially for trainees who just got new magic weapons full of glowing and powers. Thus the Princess Island. At the center of the island sits a princess who will do absolutely nothing to protect herself, and it's up to you to build defenses that will withstand shadowling attacks so she she doesn't die in a horribly realistic manner.
There's four main paths for shadowling's to travel through, and you have 3 types of building materials to create your defenses from: straw bales, wood, and bricks. The sturdier the material, the sturdier the barrier, but the fewer you can build in the allotted time. After a set amount of time, the princess will crush a pumpkin pill, attracting varying amounts of lurking shadowlings. You get to watch helplessly from the observation station, without getting to attack yourself.
These creature are extremely weak and ill formed, coming up against a solid defense they will disperse, but in turn they also weaken said defense. When a defense goes down, they go right to the princess and attack her. Should she survive the wave, you get to go back down, rebuild, and do it again.
If you fail: the princess has died, horribly, and you've wasted a lot of time on this only to look fairly incapable. All things considered? Most pleasant course to fail.
If you win: peen points and bragging rights go to those with the healthiest princess and lasted through the most attack waves.
If you choose to go beyond 5 rounds, switch the enemy dice roll to 4 d20s.
Mechanics
Your princess has 20 hp
First, roll the strength of you defense, using the dice for whichever building type you choose.
Brick: 4 d12
Wood: 8 d6
Hay bales: 12 d4
The order of the die determine the HP for each barrier location. For example, with bricks, rolling 5/6/8/1, would mean that path 1 has 5 HP, path 2 has 6 HP and so on. With a wood roll of 3/3/3/1/2/5/5/2, the first 2 dice would equal the amount of the first path. Brick would be the least math-y of the building materials (you lazy asses.)
Roll 4 d12 for the attacking forces. Once again the order of the dice correspond with the path being affected. Then do the math to determine the status of your defenses and princess.
Example:
My defenses are 5/6/8/10
The attackers are 3/7/3/8
The result defenses are 2/-1/5/2
Negative numbers are taken off the princesses HP, leaving her at 19 HP.
Go back and rebuild your defenses in the same manner as before, you'll be building on top of old defenses so you add the new defense HP to the remaining defense HP. Negative numbers = 0 HP for the defense, not negative HP.
Minimum rounds to complete the course is 3
Bonus Mechanics
Their defense expertise allows them to build slightly sturdier barriers. This applies to all paths that start at 0 hp. They do not stack. So if you are re-building on a barrier that lasted from an existing round, this bonus does not apply, as it is already still in effect.
Trainees: 0 hp bonus
Moon Trainees: +1 hp bonus to each path
Hunters: +1 hp to each path
Moon Hunters: + 2 hp to each path

Rin was very sorry about last time Sasha, she was going to try even harder not to die horrifically this time! In fact, this particular course ensured neither of them would.

Well. Hi Princess Candace. Rin was still going to do this like a boss - just, not putting all her chips in, okay?
For this reason she chose to work with wood.
She deftly went to work building wooden barriers at each path before standing back admiring her handiwork and looking expectantly at Sasha.

Sasha was taking this very seriously. Maybe because the princess was Candace - and it bothered Sasha that the other woman had seemed so upset the last time Sasha had butt heads with her - that Sasha decided on brick for her barriers. Maybe it was because there was less math involved. At the moment, it was hard to say. Status Wave: One Path 1 HP: 7 (15) Path 2 HP: 9 (19) Path 3 HP: 8 (13) Path 4 HP: 7 (15) Princess HP: 20/20

Once Rin noticed Sasha's barriers were complete she rushed back towards the observation deck. Thankfully between the two of them they did a rather lovely job making barriers.
The Candace Princess summoned creatures and though they had charged forth and clawed a lot of the barriers up - not one made it through just yet.

Sasha bounced on her heels as she watched the beasties approach, giving an enthusiastic clap of her hands when all the barriers were left standing. "We have this! Let's go!" Status Wave: 1Path 1 HP: 11 - 6 = 5 Path 2 HP: 11 - 2 = 9 Path 3 HP: 10 - 9 = 1 Path 4 HP: 14 - 7 = 7 Princess HP: 20/20

Rin blinked and mouthed the word "holy..." before grinning ear to ear and turning to offer Sasha a double high five, "NICE!"
"Way to build you!" she cheered after high fiving off Sasha and promptly rushed back down to set to work again. Repairing her wooden barriers with more wood.

Job done, Rin attempted to race Sasha back to the observation deck for another show of epic building skills. Unfortunately the creatures tore through her barrier and were now attacking Sasha's. She wilted, disappointed in her abilities and felt as though she let Sasha down.

"Ooooh, it's going to be close! Should we ... well, at least they left us something to umm... rebuild, right?" That being said, Sasha slowly picked her way back down to the barriers. Status Wave: 2Path 1 HP: 9 Path 2 HP: 9 Path 3 HP: 8 Path 4 HP: 2 Princess HP: 20/20

"Woo! It held up at least!" Rin cheered as she scurried back down to set back to work, "We make an AWESOME team, Sasha!"
She was deftly reinforcing wood with even more wood. Her work was starting to look a bit sloppy but she tried her best before rushing back to wait for Sasha.

Sasha pumped a fist, eyes bright with enthusiasm. "I told you we made a great team, didn't I?" Didn't she? "And if I didn't, let me say it now! We make a great team, Rin!" Status Wave: 3Path 1 HP: 16 + 12 = 28 Path 2 HP: 15 + 5 = 20 Path 3 HP: 12 + 2 = 14 Path 4 HP: 9 + 11 = 20 Princess HP: 20/20

"Indeed we do!" Rin cheered back, she scurried back to the observation deck and held a hand out for Sasha.
"How many rounds do you think we'll get through together?
Meanwhile Princess Candace seems to be licking the back of her hand and then using it to groom her face like a cat.

Sasha winced as one of the barriers collapsed beneath the onslaught of the monsters that the Candace-Princess summoned, and with a soft groan, she turned to Rin. "What's that mean?" Status Wave: 3Path 1 HP: 18 Path 2 HP: 18 Path 3 HP: 0 Path 4 HP: 9 Princess HP: 20/20

"It means we build as hard and fast as we possibly can before the next round." she smiled at Sasha before jogging briskly back down and setting to work immediately with fresh wooden barriers.

With a quiet grunt, Sasha followed after Rin, intent on rebuilding what she could with what she had. Needless to say, with their powers combined... "That's one nice frickin' barrier-shield-thing." Status Wave: 4Path 1 HP: 34 Path 2 HP: 37 Path 3 HP: 24 Path 4 HP: 20 Princess HP: 20/20
