 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

Zascha needed training like whoa. He knew that. So it was only logical that he participate in the training course for his own division after all. Defense and healing was what they were all about right? He was already pretty good at first aid, but defense was just a little lacking. As he stood on the course, he watched the Princess Golem from a distance. It smiled brightly and waved enthusiastically at him. Turning around, he rubbed at the back of his neck. Greeeaaatttt. After straightening out his coat, he began to build up the defenses on the four paths. He was a bit too lazy to want to pick up the bricks and hay bales seemed like they would be crap. So he went with wood. Good old trusty sturdy wood. Status Wave: 1 Path 1 HP: 11 + 1 = 12 Path 2 HP: 2 +1 = 3 Path 3 HP: 5 + 1 = 6 Path 4 HP: 6+ 1 = 7 Princess HP: /20

Once the defenses were built up, he clambered out of the course. Returning to where a few other Hunters were standing on a platform to watch. The Princess Golem waved enthusiastically to him again, blowing a kiss before she crushed the pill. Waves of shadow creatures began to filter into the course. Jumping and attempting to climb the walls as they streamed towards his wooden defenses. Green eyes watched intensely as the majority of what he had built seemed to hold except for one. And the shadow creatures filed through, beating the Princess down before they vanished. She lay on the ground, twitching a couple times. Ok, learning experience for the next wave. Status Wave: 1 Path 1 HP: 1 Path 2 HP: -5 Path 3 HP: 2 Path 4 HP: 0 Princess HP: 15/20

Once all the shadow creatures had been cleared out, he clambered back down into the course. Heading towards the Princess, he picked her up and placed her back on her seat. Giving her a shake of his head as she suddenly sprung back to life. As she lunged at him to give him a kiss, he placed his hand on it's face and pushed the Golem back into the chair. "I don't think so..." He left her there and went back to the defenses placed on the paths. Kicking at the one that had faltered and let the creatures through. Picking more wood up, he built the defenses once more. Making sure they were a bit more sturdier than the last. Status Wave: 2 Path 1 HP: 8 Path 2 HP: 7 Path 3 HP: 13 Path 4 HP: 6 Princess HP: 15/20

Returning to the platform he waited and watched. The Princess Golem seemed more interested in sitting there and looking pretty. It took her a few minutes of dusting off her dress and primping her hair before she actually crushed the next pill. Again the shadow creatures filtered in. Tearing at the defenses. Trying their hardest to get to the Princess. Zascha sucked in a breath before they all finally dissipated and his defenses still stood. Status Wave: 2 Path 1 HP: 1 Path 2 HP: 6 Path 3 HP: 8 Path 4 HP: 4 Princess HP: 15/20

He was super pumped now. His defenses had held that last round and he was feeling a bit full of himself. It was a success high. Zascha whistled a small tune as he built the wood defenses up once more. Giving them all a little test shake. Status Wave: 3 Path 1 HP: 10 Path 2 HP: 17 Path 3 HP: 11 Path 4 HP: 9 Princess HP: 15/20

Shadow creatures filtered in again. Zascha was confident in his defenses so far. But maybe he should have been less so. They weren't quite one hundred percent effective. He watched with a grimace as one of the shadow creatures slipped through and attacked the Princess. Well then. Looks like it was time to pull out the big guns next ground. If one could slip through who knew how many could the next time. Even if he knew how sturdy the defense was built.

Fourth Wave. Perhaps he payed a little bit too much attention to that second path. It was a little more reinforced than the other three. Super reinforced really. He had piled the wood up so high he almost had to jump to lay down the last piece. Placing pieces of wood up against it, stuck into the ground for support. Yea, this one wouldn't move.

That second path defense wasn't going anywhere. Zascha grinned as the shadow creatures just bounced right off of it. Unfortunately all the time he had spent reinforcing that path's defense had left two of the other paths lacking. The creatures got through and gave the Princess a pretty decent beating. Not like he felt sorry for the Golem though. It was just a Golem. Status Wave: 4 Path 1 HP: 6 Path 2 HP: 10 Path 3 HP: -1 Path 4 HP:-4 Princess HP: 9/20

Alright last wave. Zascha was going to make this one count and count good. None of those creatures were going to get through this time. The Trainee took his time, but by the time he had reached the last path he had run out of a good portion of wood. Well, he would just have to make due with what was left. Hopefully the third path would hold well enough with what little he had used. He crossed his fingers and returned to the viewing platform to settle in and watch. If he failed now he would be so pissed. So pissed. Status Wave: 5 Path 1 HP: 13 Path 2 HP: 21 Path 3 HP: 7 Path 4 HP: 11 Princess HP: 9/20

Ok, so it wasn't a perfect ending. But the Princess Goelm had survived the last wave. Zascha whooped with a laugh as he slid into the course and ran up to the Princess Golem. Picking her up and twirling her about in the air. To which it squealed before Zascha caught himself and dropped it to the ground. It crumpled into a heap, dejected and depressed. He cleared his throat lightly, straightening out his coat before leaving the course and the Princess behind. Princesses were stupid anyways. Status Wave: 5 Path 1 HP: 6 Path 2 HP: 9 Path 3 HP: -1 Path 4 HP: 5 Princess HP: 8/20
