Quote:  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

Melody anxiously waited near the entrance for someone - anyone - to come along to assist her. This seemed to be intended for moons in particular, of which she is meant to be, but she had absolutely no idea what it was she needed to do here.

Melvin arrived to try out the Princess run and noticed a slender woman waiting at the start. "Are you going for the Princess Run? I was just about to start."
He gestured to the building material further off. "Mind if we pick brick?"
When it came to attacks, he believed in stronger material with less of it than just throwing something that could be easily blown away.
Moving with the other hunter, he walked a little closer to the designated area for the princess and stopped when he saw a VERY familiar face. "...you've got to be kidding me." He said, seeing Horace dressed up in fine pink silk and white lace. It - wasn't exactly a BAD look at him, but it left him conflicted and very uncomfortable.
"I'm....going to start on the brick defenses." He grumbled, and went over to pick up the building supplies and focus on stacking bricks, occasionally glancing at the princess who was looking at her pink-polished nails.
This better not become a dream later. He thought.Status Wave: None yet Path 1 HP: 8 Path 2 HP: 2 Path 3 HP: 10 Path 4 HP: 11 Princess HP: 20/20

"I... I think I'd rather use wood for mine..." Melody said shyly as she began dragging boards over. It doesn't get everywhere like hay and it's not as dusty as brick. She used her boards to reinforce Melvin's bricks and noticed after a while the looks he kept casting at the "princess".
She looked over and found it to be an unusual looking princess indeed. "Do you know her?" she asked while dragging another board over.

Forogt to add +1 for being a Hunter
He looked up as he placed the last brick and pushed on the wall to inspect it's stability. "Actually, he used to be a friend of mine. We're not really talking much anymore." He moved back and dusted off his hands. "Let's head back to the observation tower and see how this all holds up."
He headed up the bath and up into the observation room. The wave wasn't forgiving, but he was glad for the bricks he had chosen and their formation. It did come with a tight feeling in his chest to see even the Princess Horace get struck by the shadowlings, alone behind a wall without a weapon.

Melody looked a little sad at Melvin's explanation, "I'm sorry to hear that." She followed Melvin back to the observation deck and looked on curiously. As the strange shadowy creatures came pouring down their respective paths towards the princess she held her breath. She knew this was not a real person in danger, but that made it no less worrisome. When the last one finally gave up, she exhaled softy with relief. She was better at this than she thought she'd be.
She looked at Melvin as her concern shifted to the real human on this course.
"I hope you don't mind my prying, but what happened between you two?"

Walking down the tower with Melody, he pressed his lips tightly at the reason why he no longer had a friend. "I ******** it up and went out with his boyfriend at the time. It....was complicated. I was under the impression that they were on the rocks and were broken up, but it seemed they were still together. I ******** things up." He admitted, no longer even trying to paint him in any respectable light on the matter.
"Plenty enough reason not to be my friend." He pointed out, moving to pick up a few bricks and work on repairing his walls. His eyes kept flickering to his princess who's dress was now slightly torn and looked a little more worried now, if golems could look worried. Maybe he'd fail this one too.

Melody listened as she watched Melvin working, both with curiosity. She chose to use wooden boards again, attaching several more boards to the ones still standing.
"That wasn't very nice," Melody touched Melvin's arm with a gentle gesture she hoped was reassuring. "But clearly there was a problem with their relationship in the first place if his boyfriend was so willing to go with you." She offered a placatory smile. "I think there is some sort of..." she held up her hands to make quotation marks in the air, "bro code." Then dropped her hands to continue, "about dating a friend's ex in general. Just. You know. Going forward." There was that placatory smile again as she hoped her suggestion wasn't taken too far in the wrong direction.

"I'm very aware of the bro code. I just wanted something too badly though and logic wasn't going to come into play to let me honor some man code of conduct."
He inspected his wall before walking back up to their post with her.
"Have you been in such a situation - with any crushed maybe?"Status WAVE 2 Path 1 HP: 4 Path 2 HP: 6 Path 3 HP: 3 Path 4 HP: 5 Princess HP: 18/20

"Um, not really. I've never really dated like... uh... seriously... before," she started to fiddle with a few ruffles of her dress shyly as her face reddened. She turned her attention to the window as if this wave was the most important wave of shadow things ever.
It had nothing to do with avoiding that embarrassing question.

"Better be careful with that. There are plenty of poachers here. Keep your eye out for the quick hitters." He warned her. "Especially in Life."
"Still can't believe you didn't have at least one crush in your lifetime. Not saying you don't have time." Melvin harbored a few of his own. Status Rebuilding Path 1 HP: 6 Path 2 HP: 14 Path 3 HP: 5 Path 4 HP: 17 Princess HP: 18/20

"Well.. I-I um, I had just crushes before," she started to fan herself with her hand. It was really hot in here.
"P-p-poachers?...." she stuttered absolutely clueless as to what Melvin might have been trying to imply with that. The way the conversation was going, she was certain it wasn't good.

"Yeah. Guys who can see when there are fresh blood in the waters. This island is small which means the dating possibilities are limited. Gossip gets around when people, especially young women, get woken up. You're going to garter attention from both sides of the fence though."
He narrowed his eyes only to wince when a surge of shadowlings broke down a wall to slash at Horace.
Attention focused on his structure, he continued. "If I was younger, I'd be right there with them." Status Wave 3 Path 1 HP: 4 Path 2 HP: 6 Path 3 HP: -1 Path 4 HP: 13 Princess HP: 17/20
