{CD} <Begin Again> Combat / Dialogue Thread
« on: March 09, 2015, 12:23:31 pm »
Here will be where combat and dialogue will be performed, to stop something as simple as talking with someone taking a whole day to update, and to make combat much more exciting and fast paced.

Dialogue is pretty self explanatory. Simply talk to an NPC (or a PC, if you like) by putting what you want to say in speech marks. The NPC's will react accordingly to what you say depending on their personality and karma. Making friends in this place is vital, whilst making enemies is undesirable.

Now to explain combat. Basically, say what you want to attack, and where you want to attack the enemy. Feel free to orientate between light, medium and heavy attacks, but at the very maximum you can perform 3 heavy attacks in one turn. Be careful however, overworking like this will leave you exposed and your accuracy will be decreased.

At the beginning of each combat post, there will be a HP meter displayed for your character and your opponent. If there are multiple opponents, then I will try to summarize it better.

Here is an example of a PC with a broken arm and a cut leg's HP meter. As you can see, it follows the same kind of base as the C:DDA HP system does. There is only HP for now; hence how we haven't got into weapon skills or spells just yet.

Jimmy Jingles
HEAD: 100
TORSO: 100
R.ARM: 5 (Broken!)
L.ARM: 100
R.LEG: 100
L.LEG: 89 (Minor Bleeding!)

Then, the roll to determine whether you succeeded in your attack follows. I roll for both you and your opponent with a 1d20 to determine how well you both attack. Factors such as a surprise attack or someone being prone can buff or debuff an attack roll.

An example of good ol' Jimmy Jingles making a heavy attack against a wolf. Notice how he specifies where he attacks, what he attacks with, and the power of his attack: a perfect post.

"I go for an attack against the wolf, hitting it against the head with my stick using all my strength."

8) Jimmy Jingles 1d20 To-Hit | VS | Wolf 1d20+2 (Agile) To-Dodge
8) Jimmy Jingles: 20 | Wolf: 3.
SUCCESS! (CRITICAL!)

"You smash the wolf in the face with your stick, leaving teeth and blood spraying from the wolves' mouth! It was an agile creature, but the sheer unmatched power and precision of your attack leaves it unconscious; open to another attack!"

Wow! Jimmy Jingles sure is a boss. But hopefully, you understand the combat system now. Also, expect your enemy to attack you in the same turn; the only reason Jimmy Jingles didn't get challenged to be attacked back then was because he knocked the wolf unconscious.

If you have any questions about the combat system - remember! The OOC is the place to do it, not here, even if you use [[double brackets]]. And don't worry, I'll notify you in the IC if you need to come over here for quicker, more fast paced posts without clogging up our lovely neat IC.

?? looks at the... Whatever it is with an apparent curiosity.

"Dafuq are you?" Obviously a fairy of some sort, but there is always the chance of some more interesting details hidden among the obvious facts.

?? temporarily loses interest in the fairy-thing, noticing the person standing on the ground. He knew him from the grass-patch, and sifted through his memory to remember exactly which one - "Oh, you're the pedophile, right? ?? chuckles slightly at his own insult/joke. "Almost didn't recognize you without your loli. you're probably going to have two in 9 or so months..."

"Right... Anyways did you find water yet? That's more important than trying to insult me." He said with a raised eyebrow.

"No, not yet."

Then, the most amazing and complicated plan ever to come to fruition sparked inside of ??'s mind, a complicated plan on how to find water!

"Weird fairy thing, do you know where a source of water is, by any chance?"

Admit it, that was so complicated your mind exploded by trying to comprehend it.

He probably only needs water to "clean up"

"You approach the man who's fishing. On closer inspection, you can see an old man, hunched over next to the lake with a peaceful expression in his faded blue eyes. He has a short, grey-ish beard accompanied by a few twirls of grey hair coming from under his olive boonie hat. His build is a little chubby, and as you speak, he jumps a little in place, whirling his head around to look at you. You notice he's wearing the same white cotton shirt + trousers you are.

Upon recognizing that you were a human, his expression goes from concern to a casual smile, and the old man re-casts his line.

"Well hey there. Didn't know there was more of us out here." He begins, watching his line carefully. "The fishin'? Haven't caught anything yet... but I've been gettin' some bites!" He continues enthusiastically.

"Look at me bein' so rude. Haven't even introduced myself. I couldn't really remember who I am... but a few people I stay with call me 'Hook'. At least I know I sure loved fishin'. Couldn't stop thinkin' about makin' a rod since I woke up." Hook chuckles. He seemed to be a kind old man; his voice slow and wise."

"Well, greetings, Hook. To be honest i can't remember nothing either." Taking a glance at the pointy rock in his hand and hides it. "Call me Rock. Because, i don't know. There are a lot or rocks around here."

"Need any help?"

((Sorry for being unorignial af.))

??? Rhodri
??? Lorknis

The small pixie pouts as you call her 'weird fairy thing', flapping her wings angrily and landing on the man's shoulder, trying to look threatening as she growls. It really isn't threatening.

"Gurrr... why you..." She begins, then stroppily flaps off your shoulder and back to her window perch as you inquire about water.

"What, you think I'm made of blueflowers? I don't just spurt out me' hard-earned information for free. Pay up!" She huffs, holding out her hand. "And I'll have ye' know that I'm a Stix! You humans can't be half rude sometimes. Hmph!"

Blueflowers? What on Earth was the 'Stix' talking about...
<========>

??? Rock

"Well, Rock, it's very nice to meetcha." Hook says with a smile and a rub of his bristly beard, then suddenly jerks in his seat as you ask him for help. His fishing rod bends and creaks, suggesting he's got a bite of something.

"Hnnng! Well, you sure picked a good time to ask for help! These old bones can't pull this rod up... think there's a whopper on the end o' the line!" Hook grunts, struggling to pull up on the fishing rod; ripples of water echoing from where his plant cordage line was cast.

Now is time to use the power of.... Annoying people!

"Tell me where a water source is. Tell me where a water source is." He says this repeatedly to the weird fairy thing Stix, while poking it's head until it tells him where a water source is.

The Stix winces at your annoyingness, and flies up, feebly hitting your face to no effect whatsoever.
"S-shut up, idiot! I don't give away information for fre-" She hisses. You reply by poking her in the head again.
"Tell me where a water source is."

To your surprise, she bites your finger the next time you try to poke her, leaving tiny teeth marks.

R.ARM 100 99.9999999999

??? Stopsignal

You assist Hook in catching the fishy, pulling the rod with all your strength. Splashes of water burst from where the line was cast, and Hook seems to have an excited expression on his face, his boonie hat falling behind him to reveal a balding head.
"WHOOO-EEE! This is gonna be a biggun'!" He yells. One more pull from the both of you, and it reveals... oh. The fish isn't as big as you anticipated, but it's still a decent size. (Around 5 Stone.) Hook seems thankful for your help, breathing heavily with a grin on his face.
"Phew! Thank ya' kindly, Rock. Good to see people are still willing to help an old man these days - and lookie here! Not a bad size." Hook says with a grin, admiring the catch.

"Anythin' I could do to repay ye'? My lil' group might actually eat well tonight thanks to your help!" Hook says gratefully.

+1 Karma!

I will continue this until a location of a source of water is given. :P

Seemingly ticked off with you, the Stix flies back through her window, flipping you off on the way back through.
"Bah! Get lost, chump!"

Unless you were willing to squeeze through the tiny space, it didn't look like she was going to give her information away.

Your finger throbs a little bit. Ouch. These Stix were really stingy when it came to money, it seemed.

"FER' THE LOVE OF STELLA!" You hear the Stix scream, and she whizzes out the window, and lands on your nose, staring into your eye with her one good eye furiously.

"Now listen here, ye' little joker. This is the only piece of information I'll ever be givin' ya' for free, you understand? Bug me again, and I'll make sure you're turned into a damned frog!"

She then taps your eye with her finger, and you jump back a little, your mind now full of newly acquired knowledge as if by magic. You can now perfectly visualise a lake, just past a large boulder in the middle of a clearing from the dry grass patch.

>Location added: The Lake

"Now leave me alone...!" The Stix mumbles half-heartedly, flapping back into her window and hiding away. You're pretty sure your annoyingness bought her to tears, but you now knew where the lake was! GG!
