 Mist Hunter
The Miss Taken Tower
As the general, jack-of-all trades division, the Mist Hunter training course is a combination of the other divisions' training challenges and also one of the more complicated. The goal of this course is to rescue the princess in the tower. Below her, you'll find yourself confronted with a number of shadowling attackers, and beyond them, a room of only slightly deadly traps. But even should you reach her location, you still need to pick the lock on the manacles holding her in place. Unskilled fiddling with the locks will prove unhealthy for both the princess and yourself. And once that's done, you need to make your way back down through the traps and shadowlings, defending the princess the whole way.
The Miss Taken Tower is one of the most challenging and frustrating courses available.
If you fail: your princess dies, and you are quite possibly KO'd. Senior hunters are observing and will make with a timely rescue as needed.
If you win: the princess will adore you for the rest of her exceedingly brief existence. Peen points for 100% health for you and the Princess, shadowlings fought, going for consecutive rescues.
Part 1
Mechanics
- roll your regular attack
- roll your regular attack again
- if you miss an attack, you lose 50% of your full HP
- if you have an available recovery bonus, you may try to use that to avoid HP loss
Bonus Mechanics
- This bonus is consumable.
- for the Mist Course, it is recommended you review the mechanics of the other division courses, as the division bonuses carry over.
- Trainees: 0 recoveries
- Mist/Sun Trainees: 1 recovery
- Hunters: 1 recovery
- Mist/Sun Hunters: 2 recoveries
Part 2
Mechanics
- there are two steps worth of traps in this room, so you'll be rolling twice
- roll 1 d10 to determine what your character is about to step into
- use your bonus mechanic to adjust as you can
- adjust your HP and bonus count accordingly
- roll 1 d10 to determine what your character is about to step into
- use your bonus mechanic to adjust as you can
- adjust your HP and bonus count accordingly
- roll list: (feel free to get creative about what the traps actually were)
(-50% HP is off your full HP, so if you hit -50% twice, then you are 100% KO'd)
01. horrible death
02. - 50% HP
03. - 50% HP
04. live
05. live

Part 3
Mechanics

Leslie stared at the entrance, lemon-faced. His first time doing the tower, and he was not excited. He was definitely engrossed enough in thought to be startled by someone else's presence, should they suddenly make themselves known.

Chance had been watching Leslie for the past five minutes as he stood outside of the tower, doing nothing but staring in mingled horror and irritation at the entrance. His facial expression made it all worth just standing there, Chance fighting back laughter.
He walked over to Leslie, leaned right down over him, and whispered,
"Lose something, Miller?"

"******** off, Bones," Leslie snapped, flipping the other hunter off without even bothering to turn and see who it was. He knew. I just think training is a pain in the <******** a**." He looked at Chance with deep suspicion. "You here for this s**t too?"

"So tender and loving," said Chance airily, waving a hand dismissively at Leslie's comment. "And yes, I'm here for this s**t too."
He smiled benignly at him.
"Feel up to going through together?"

" Fine," he snipped, and stomped in ahead of Chance, ready to take on the tower and all of its challenges. Aleria appeared in his hand, poised to strike-- and a miss. <******** don't know which princess we get ******** stuck with till the end, do we?"

"You're always so wonderfully cheerful," said Chance with a sigh, following Leslie into the tower. His bow came into view a second later, the cold metal reassuring and familiar against the palm of his hand, Asher's voice softly sweeping through his thoughts.
"Nope, don't think so," Chance answered merrily, snapping off an arrow with a satisfying twang.

"Yes, that is exactly the definition that I hear when people talk about you," said Chance, dragging another arrow into existence and notching it against the icy wire of the bow. "All sunshine and rainbows, that Leslie Miller. Right next to happy cloud in the dictionary."
He grinned, pulling back the wire and releasing it with a resounding twang. "Aw, but Leslie, what if it's you in one of those golems, in a pretty princess gown?"Status Stage: 1Your HP: 50 Princess HP: 20 / 20 Stage 1 Recoveries: 1 Stage 2 Flags and Instincts: 1 Stage 4 Bonus HP: 0

"I'm glad you see the truth," Leslie continued, trading barbs as he decimated another pair of shadows. The princess was just ahead, and he grimaced at the thought of it being himself. "I hope I never have to ******** see my princess self. Ever." He pushed into the room and while it wasn't his face, it was, well. Rep's. It even had a tag on the wrist: "For: L. Miller." "Jesus christ." Status Stage: 1 Your HP: 50 Princess HP: 20/20 Stage 1 Recoveries: 0 Stage 2 Flags and Instincts: 1 Stage 4 Bonus HP: +2

Chance let out a snort of laughter upon seeing the golem, trying very hard not to show his amusement, but failing completely. Leslie's reactions made everything so much better.
"That," said Chance, as he breezed into the room. "is ******** beautiful. Did you want to carry the damsel in distress, Leslie? Look, it's even got your name written on it, that totally means she's all yours."
He unfortunately would pay for his laughter, because a second later Chance was letting out a yell of pain as something snapped at his leg. The darkness made it difficult to see what it was entirely, but whatever it was, wasn't particularly nice.Status Stage: 2Your HP: 25 / 50 Princess HP: 20 / 20 Stage 1 Recoveries: 1 Stage 2 Flags and Instincts: 1 Stage 4 Bonus HP: 0

"That is not a girl," Leslie intoned, grabbing the golem by the wrist, but not before tugging his sleeve down so his skin didn't have to touch Princess Rep's skin. (He got a coquettish wink, which was honestly more unnerving than anything. Rep as a creature of anything but malice was just...wrong.) He almost stepped into a bear trap, but wobbled over to a different tile in the nick of time, yanking Rep really hard. Its metal jaws snapped on the purple taffeta of his dress, tearing it. " Hey, be ******** careful, you piece of s**t. I don't pass unless you make it alive. Unfortunately." The golem just giggled in response. It sent a shiver down Leslie's spine.

"Okay, fine, maybe not a girl," said Chance in agreement, "But he's still a princess, and you should treat him with the utmost care and devotion."
His amusement at Leslie's disgust was still entirely present, even with the fact that Chance had just stepped on something painful. He took another cautious step, eyes flickering over towards the golem once more as it erupted into childish giggles.
"Aw, he likes you," Chance said, batting his eyes as he not-so-gracefully sidestepped an explosion that shook the room but narrowly missed all three of them.Status Stage: 2Your HP: 25 / 50 Princess HP: 20 / 20 Stage 1 Recoveries: 1 Stage 2 Flags and Instincts: 1 - USING Stage 4 Bonus HP: 0

Chance's words distracted him enough to step into a trap. A fiery trap, at that. "I do not treat any ******** thing," Leslie bitched, whirling to put out the flames on his coat, wincing at how bad it had already eaten through his shield, "with care and ******** devotion." The Golem turned to look at Chance with adoring eyes, and fluttered his fingers in the other hunter's direction. Clearly, he liked the both of them, and began talking about how wonderful it would be to all get together and--"Nope," Leslie said. "Nope, nope, nope, nope ******** nope. Just, shut up. Jesus ******** christ. Both of you!" Status Stage: 2 Your HP: 25 Princess HP: 20/20 Stage 1 Recoveries: 0 Stage 2 Flags and Instincts: 0 instincts, using 1 flag to turn 7->8 Stage 4 Bonus HP: +2
