Stage One
As a collective you board a boat and leave Heroes Island behind you... the enrolment process becomes a distant memory.
The voyage across the ocean is surprisingly uneventful and boring, the food and drink is cheap and tastes...well, lets say it's pretty crappy
At one point a crew member swears they saw a giant squid known to patrol the waters in the distance, but fortunately on this journey your boat was spared any attack.
As you approach the mainland you see a small fishing village in the distance, there is no dock so your forced to swim ashore.
You think you've made it through Stage One without drama, but once you reach the beach you spot a water demon picking his nose with a a lump of driftwood (gives you an idea on the size of this guys nose).
He seems very angry about getting caught in the act and is now intent on making sure you tell no-one.
He attacks you with a power score 2 (dice roll of at least 2 or equivalent is required to win the battle).
This guy is determined to stop you from reaching the village. He doesn't want you telling people what you saw.
Special field info (check for your class): The Water Demon is immune to magical attacks and it takes a pretty big stick to kill this dude, therefore when you roll an attack, the following effect must be calculated based on your class:
Warrior: Player to add +1 to whatever dice roll you get.
Thief: Player has no change to dice roll.
Wizard: Player to remove -1 to whatever dice roll you get.
Basic Game Instructions:
Simply do a reply in this post with:
- How you want to attack the foe
- Finish the reply by typing @rollthedice
What will happen next:
A Bot should reply to your reply shortly and tell you your dice roll result. You need to add/remove from that number your special field effect (based on your character type - detailed above) and add/remove any passive item effect you have. After this, if you scored a 2 or higher you were successful - just wait for me to confirm you are ok to move to Stage two. Once everyone learns the rules/are comfortable, from Stage Two on wards I hope people can self manage and just move on without me (check your own score, track your own lives etc). If you score less then 2, you lose a life point and must try again. If you use all life points, you must buy more from the item shop...simplez! (well maybe, lets give it a try).
Advanced/Extended additional Game play options in this Stage post:
- You may challenge another player to an item (if you see they got one you like), see detailed instructions post here
- You may be challenged by Gobbo (you will see a reply from me which simply says @gobbo), you may accept challenge if you will by replying with @rollthedice, there are consequences, please see detailed instructions post
- If you are a Thief class you may attempt to pick the foes pocket before attacking, by replying with a simple standalone reply !pickpocket - see detailed instructions post. Note: what ever item you get good or bad you are now stuck with for all Stages :) - unless a player challenges you and you lose it.
GAME ITEM SHOP POST IS ALSO NOW AVAILABLE HERE!
CAMPAIGN MAP IS ALSO NOW AVAILABLE HERE!
Special thanks to @spaceginger for his artistic skills with the Interactive Battle Tournament Image above. Other images were captured from the abandoware game Dragon wars. All Steem raised from this post will go to those whom win on the first roll/go :)
Bird boy wizard, resorts to pecking @rollthedice
Hello..as you used a #, instead of a @ and then edited after it seems the bot didn't work (Thanks - you have discovered a bit of a bug, i.e. you can't just edit the command). Can you please try a fresh reply against this message and see if it works (sorry for inconvenience)
@rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.

Nice peck, you rolled a 4, you get -1 for being a wizard (giving you a total roll score of 3). You took down the Water Demon who only had a power score of 2.

Cold, wet, and still slightly hung over, Green Warlord is in no mood to deal with the Water demon's shame. With a scowl on his face he lashes out with a water logged boot to the demon's abdoman, spinning with an overhead strike from his thirsty blade and...

(Rolling through enemies...)
And indeed Setzer's warrior dice shall literally roll through the water demon (i.e. the dice will rip holes through its body) as in the worst-case scenario the end result would still be a total of 2.
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 1.
Alright, getting the low rolls out of the way early =)
IBT result: 1 (system roll) + 1 (class/stage rule) = 2 (PASS)
Under the FF6 damage formulas, this would work out to:
2 x 1 (current stage/level) x 1 (system roll) x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 (Setzer's "fixed" dice) = 2 damage inflicted.
Water demon terminated.
(That's one really weak water demon...)
Haha ouch and finished with a number 2 right in the clanger..

Please ignore his second roll..my bad for updating reply..you must defeat a roll 1 dough taker if your keen - roll against the gobbo with a 1. or not :)
-something for bug/quirk report: I may ask aussieninja if he can think of a way of bot checking if an edit is done and not fire gobbo a second time. What I might try to remember to do is take the @ out on an edit...this would probably work..

QUICK IN GAME MESSAGE FOR ALL.
If your a thief class the pickpock (see instructions on how to call) reply works (Top works by @cryptonik) and you may try at your own discretion. Technically you should only do this before the enemy is dead (well that was the vision), but as this wasn't clear for Stage One...go for it now if you want(risk is yours if you get a positive or negative item - Goodluck and have fun :)
-Keep an eye on the item shop, if you need a life they are in stock. Tip: other items may from time to time be available as well.
