General Information
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
    06. - 50% HP
    07. horrible death
    08. - 50% HP
    09. horrible death
    10. live


    Bonus Mechanics
    - This bonus is consumable.

    - Trainees: 1 flag
    - Mist/Death Trainees: 1 flag and one instinctive move
    - Hunters: 1 flag and one instinctive move
    - Mist/Death Hunters: 1 flag and two instinctive moves


  • Part 3
    Mechanics
    - use the given roll for your hunter to try and open the lock on her right manacle. Rolling a 1 means you fumbled, and the cuff exploded causing both you and the princess to lose 50% of your full HP.
    - roll to repeat the process on the left manacle.

    Bonus Mechanics

    - Trainees: roll 1d4
    - Mist/Life Trainees: roll 1d6
    - Hunters: roll 1d6
    - Mist/Life Hunters: roll 1d8


  • Part 4
    Mechanics
    - roll 2 d8 to determine your defense against the trap area.
    - roll 2 d8 to determine how much trap damage targets the princess.
    - adjust her HP accordingly
    - roll 2 d8 to determine your defense against the shadowling area.
    - roll 2 d8 to determine how much shadow damage targets the princess.
    - adjust her HP accordingly
    - leftover defense does not stack

    Bonus Mechanics

    - Trainees: +0 defense
    - Mist/Moon Trainees: + 2 defense
    - Hunters: + 2 defense
    - Mist/Moon Hunters: + 3 defense

Noemi was currently sitting outside the training for the mist tower, staring at the layout of the training course with a look of horror.

Did they expect trainee's to do all of this?!?! Especially mist ones!?!? She took the paper held it up...stared at it, brought it down, stared at it.

As if expecting the layout and requirements for completing the mist tower to change, she went about this sort of rhythm for awhile, like she could just shake out a couple of floors...from the paper.

To anyone passing by, there was a small mist hunter sitting on the floor, raising a piece of paper up and then setting it down. Please talk to her.

After the whole thing with Medea, Kylee had realized that she needed more training.

A ton more training, actually. It wasn't that she wasn't fit; she jogged every day, but as far as actually picking up her weapon and using it? She was woefully ignorant.

So she was taking a stroll out on the training fields, wondering if she should run through a course, but she wasn't that confident that she could do one on her own. Or could she?

It was then when she spotted Noemi staring intently at a piece of paper. Hm?

"You okay?"

Noemi looked up at Kylee, held the paper out for the other huntress to see and said in a dreaded voice.

"There is so many levels, I don't know if I can do this by myself..." She shook it, "The mist training is so hard."

Mist training, huh? Kylee bent down to peer at the piece of paper, nose wrinkling slightly as she noted the number of obstacles in the tower. "Whoa." She breathed. "Would it easier if we went in as a team?"

And by that, Kylee meant get other experienced hunters to help out. Or at least show them the ropes.

"D...W...do....Would..." Noemi looked at Kylee..."Would you like to do the training with me!?!" She almost looked like she was pleading with the life hunter.

You wanted to go with her right Kylee.

Look at these puppy dog eyes.

She hadn't quite expected that.

Kylee had a slight interest in the macabre, yes, but it didn't mean that she didn't possess a soft side either.

How could she say no and make Noemi sad?

The girl sighed. "Well, I did want to get some training done. So... why not?"

Noemi clapped her hands, reaching over to gently hug Kylee. "T...Thank you Miss Kylee." She gestured for the girl to come with her to the training course's pod room.

"Ha...Have you done the death training?" She asked quietly, "It's....we have to do our training in...um golems?" She nodded, "But we'll still have our weapons so...SO..." She gestured to the pods that would transfer them over to golem versions of themselves.

She clambered in, closed her eyes as the door shut and reopened them in the golem that looked like herself. The first stage was like Sun run, where they had to hit shadowlings. Her five times of failing must've finally payed off because she summoned her trident and knocked back a few of the shadowlings.

Kylee had no idea what she had just got herself into.

"I haven't done it, no." She hadn't even been in a golem, period, but she merely followed Noemi's lead and climbed into the pod besides the other trainee.

It certainly was strange, but she had no time to stop and ponder the mechanics of such an android, for it was time to fight.
