An Evolving RPG:

[mastin2]

Indeed,

swyellowtail

fails to hit...but so too, does the opponent.

Meanwhile,

Ircher

continues as he has: his opponent is strong, but not quite strong enough.

Ircher's HP:

10.

Opponent:

2.

And, similarly,

StaplerTowel

shows flawless technique, landing a strong blow, indeed demonstrating how it is done.

StaplerTowel's HP:

9.

Opponent:

5.

However,

Killthestory

is on the

receiving

end of such a strike, prolonging his fight.

Killthestory's HP:

4.

Opponent:

1.

Similarly,

Cheery Dog

places himself dangerously close to death's door, knowing his opponent is in a similar position.

Cheery Dog's HP:

2.

Opponent:

1.

And

Felissan

levels up!

First order of business:

Felissan strolls confidently forward, onto the future, one to be filled with adventuring. He knows that many a dungeon shall soon fall to him, but first, he has some cleanup to do: an enemy stands in his way, and it's time to mop the floor with them.

Ready your die, Felissan!

[Felissan]

Finally, I get to be an actual character!

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[Cheery Dog]

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[mastin2]

Second order of business...as promised,
The second adventuring team has now begun. Refer to 491 for details.
Essentially, both threads are separate: what happens in one won't happen in the other.
However, both threads are still the same: rules of one apply to the other, updates to one will update the other. (Exception: global upgrades apply only to the thread where that global upgrade is applicable.)

So we'll have a second game running now!

[mastin2]

Felissan eagerly opens with a typical adventuring maneuver.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Cheery Dog lives dangerously, knowing the fight would soon end one way or the other.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[mastin2]

And, of course,

Felissan

encounters a typical parry, which prevents damage to either party.

Meanwhile,

Cheery Dog

deals the finishing blow, finding his first kill.

Cheery Dog's quest would continue some more. He takes a leisurely stroll to cool off and recover, but he still progresses forward, finding himself fully rested after a while. And soon after, a foe appears, once again impeding his path.

Ready your die!

[Cheery Dog]

Now I'll have to start again to be the first level 1 to die

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[Ircher]

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[Ircher]

I blame Cheery Dog for ninjaing me.

[mastin2]

Cheery Dog seems to not enjoy the fight, only weakly putting forward some halfhearted strike.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Ircher, for the first time in his battle, fumbles, leaving an opening.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[Felissan]

Now I'll have to start again to be the first level 1 to die

Actually, L1 guys have rolled dies way before you.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[mastin2]

Against the hesitant

Cheery Dog

, his opponent has no qualms clobbering the young adventurer.

Cheery Dog's HP:

9.

Opponent:

6.

Sadly for

Ircher

, his chances at a perfect fight end, as his opponent does take advantage of the situation.

Ircher's HP:

9.

Opponent:

2.

[Ircher]

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[Ircher]

My, oh my, I sure like extrema.

[mastin2]

Felissan, a little disappointed in his lack of instant success, is unsure of himself as he moves forward.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

Ircher continues, dumbfounded, to do nothing, shocked at the reversal at hand.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[mastin2]

This ends up hurting

Felissan

, as his opponent lands the first strike in the fight, drawing blood.

Felissan's HP:

9.

Opponent:

6.

Similarly,

Ircher

suffers the misfortune of having his opponent suddenly have a strong drive, pushing him back further.

Ircher's HP:

8.

Opponent:

2.

[Cheery Dog]

Now I'll have to start again to be the first level 1 to die

Actually, L1 guys have rolled dies way before you.

That was wasn't meant as the pun

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[mastin2]

Cheery Dog gains a sense of purpose, and instinctively lashes out with great force.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[mastin2]

This allows for

Cheery Dog

to connect, his first blood of the new fight.

Cheery Dog's HP:

9.

Opponent:

5.

[Ircher]

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[Felissan]

I'm off to a great start. This is totally gonna be a meaningful unlucky event.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[Cheery Dog]

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[Killthestory]

YOU DARE LIVE?

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[swyellowtail]

Welp. At this rate, Ircher is going to get to level 2 before I do.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

And there's nothing I can do to stop that.

[Ircher]

Wasn't I behind you?

Plus I might get a string of 1s again.
