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

"Les' do the tower, he says, les' do the tower, man I can't even do the ********' tower when I'm sober I bet you an' you got me here doin' the ********' tower -- man, lemme.. wait, lemme tell you somethin', man."

Tuck paused and looked real serious.

"....forgot what I was gonna say. ******** it. Les' go."

Tuck went in swinging.

"'S fine," Evan assured Tuck as they wandered into the tower. "Can't be that hard, we've already done some of it before, right? No big deal." Evan swatted at a pack of shadowlings that thought he was an easy meal. He wasn't defenseless, though, only drunk, and he had no problem getting rid of them.

Tuck tripped a little.

"Piece'a ********' caaaaaake."

A massive wall of shadowlings fell before his mighty axe.

(It was only like two or three).

Evan pushed Tuck onto a tile.

The tile immediately exploded and blew Tuck halfway across the room.

"Laugh it up, you ********' a*****e."

Tuck stepped onto the next tile. He didn't die a horrible death.

"I can't believe we're doin' this while we drunk. You are a ********' glutton for punishment or somethin', man. Or just stupid. I can't tell."

"'S pretty funny," Evan said as he picked himself up. He walked across the floor, completely forgetting that he was only halfway through, and miraculously ended up on the other side of the room in one piece.

"This is--this is th' best time to do this. You don' have to think 'bout s**t. An' if I'm a glutton for punishment, what's that make you? You followed me in here," he pointed out.

"I'm your ********' Moon, dude, I follow where you go because it's my ********' job to watch over your stupid goddamn stupid a**."

Tuck nearly tripped as he knelt to work the shackle free.

"Boom. I'm so ********' good, dude. I am just," he almost fell over, "sooooo ********' good."

"Well 'm not dead yet, so, you must be doin' somethin' right. Keep up th' good work," Evan said, squinting at the manacle holding the princess golem to the top of the tower. Rather than daring to attempt any kind of finesse, he just took each side of the shackle and pulled until it broke.

Tuck watched Evan pull his shackle apart.

"Well now you're jus' showin' off, you ********' ********," Tuck snorted and with great finesse ripped the second manacle free just as Evan had.

"An' a'course you ain't dead. I can't spar for s**t but at leas' I'm good at. Like. Doin' other s**t. Brothers look out fer one another, dipship. s**t. Dipshit."

Tuck must have blinked, then, because one second Evan was fiddling with the other manacle and the next he was blown nearly off the roof. The clouds looked especially fuzzy from where he was sprawled on his back, but he didn't have a chance to appreciate them for long before he passed out.

Tuck snatched the princess hat off of Evan's princess and smashed it onto the Sun's head. He then hefted Evan over his shoulder and grabbed his own princess golem under his other arm.

"You such a ********' a*****e, dude."
