 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

"Why are we doing this, again?" Evan not-quite-grumbled as he built brick walls around a not-really-Stormy. If only he could built brick walls around actual Stormy, he might sleep better at night. Well, probably not, but at least she'd be safe. Status Wave: 1Path 1 HP: 12 Path 2 HP: 3 Path 3 HP: 3 Path 4 HP: 11 Princess HP: 20/20

"Because we ain't got nothing better to do aside from this," Tuck retorted as he followed behind Evan, placing his own bricks atop the other man's (mostly) well-laid foundation. "I think that'll do it," Tuck grunted, eyeing path three as he made his way back up to the observation station. "Ain't Princess Stormy cute, lookit her." Princess Stormy was combing her hair with a fork. How the golem had found a fork was beyond Tuck, but whatever. Nobody ever said golems were smart.

Evan paused a moment to consider the validity of Tuck's statement before humming in agreement. At least it wasn't pod duty. He followed Tuck up to the observation deck, watching as the shadowlings were released. They slammed up against the walls he and Tuck had built, already threatening to break them down. "Think it's about to get pretty ugly down there in a minute," he replied, frowning. Status Wave: 1Path 1 HP: 21 - 10 = 11 Path 2 HP: 14 - 10 = 4 Path 3 HP: 5 - 3 = 2 Path 4 HP: 16 - 8 = 8 Princess HP: /20

" s**t," Tuck watched the shadowlings from path three quickly overcome a shrieking Stormy-princess. The Moon shook his head as he jogged from the observation station back to their spotty defenses. "Well. Lets rebuild this s**t. Once we're done here, I'll let you make me supper."

"Sounds good," Evan replied, "and after supper, I'll let you do the dishes." Path 3 was the one that broken last time, so Evan focused on shoring it up--and almost completely ignored the other paths. Oops.Status Wave: 2Path 1 HP: 0 + 1 = 1 really evan Path 2 HP: 2 + 1 = 3 REALLY evan Path 3 HP: 0 + 11 = 11 Path 4 HP: 3 + 9 = 12 Princess HP: 16/20

Tuck snorted and grinned at Evan. "It's worth it, I s'pose," he dusted off his hands as he finished up with his bricks, a wary glance sent in path one's direction. "You gotta share the love, man. I think we're gonna get ******** again." A short jog later he was standing in the observation station, hands on his hips as he waited for the onslaught to begin.

Evan watched with a wince as the shadowlings went after the weaker first path. "My bad," he said. "Probably why I'm not a Moon." Status Wave: 2Path 1 HP: 7 - 5 = 2 Path 2 HP: 16 - 4 = 12 Path 3 HP: 18 - 1 = 17 Path 4 HP: 21 - 11= 10 Princess HP: 16/20

Tuck's shoulders slumped as he watched Princess Stormy take a royal beatdown. "I'm actually feelin' pretty good about this, man. I think we might have this in the bag - you think we could bring a grill to the island? Like a real charcoal grill. I would kill for a huge t-bone steak still twitchin'."

Evan winced as he caught sight of the state of the Stormy golem. "Maybe. Either way, let's uh...let's not tell Stormy about this." The shadowlings had managed to do a number on their princess, which looked a little less like their Mist sister and more ready for the scrap heap. He was extra careful to reinforce each wall equally, except for the one he completely forgot to do."A grill? Not asking much, are you?" s**t, a steak sounded good, though. "Might be worth looking into." Status Wave: 3Path 1 HP: 0 + 1 = 1 Path 2 HP: 10 + 11 = 21 Path 3 HP: 10 + 11 = 21 Path 4 HP: 0 + 11 = 11 Princess HP: 10/20

"I'm a simple man," Tuck laughed as he shored up their defenses. "Full stomach and a pretty girl? s**t, man, can't ask for anything more than that. I'd be the most content dude on the island, no s**t." Status Wave: 3 Path 1 HP: 12 Path 2 HP: 31 Path 3 HP: 33 Path 4 HP: 34 Princess HP: 10/20

"Amen to that," Evan replied with a chuckle that swiftly turned into a curse as the shadowlings immediately tore down the first wall. Status Wave: 3Path 1 HP: 12 - 12 = 0 Path 2 HP: 31 - 11= 20 Path 3 HP: 33 - 7 = 24 Path 4 HP: 23 - 3 = 20 Princess HP: 10/20

Tuck held his breath until the second wave finished with Princess Golem Stormy - and she was still standing when all was said and done. "Dinnertime!" Status Wave: 3, Goddamn it Evan >:C Path 1 HP: 0 - 4 = -4 Path 2 HP: 20 - 10 = 10 Path 3 HP: 24 - 8 = 16 Path 4 HP: 20 - 10 = 10 Princess HP: 6/20

Evan heaved a sigh of relief as the golem managed to stay in...well, few enough pieces to count as a win for them after the last wave of shadowlings. "Yeah, okay. Suppose we've earned it."
