Aries was once more, on his pillar in the midst of three sets of eyes. These pupils had followed every trivial hand gesture he made. By now, the pressure that once weighed in his gut had become less than a mosquito bite. He was not accompanied by Libra as the latter claimed to be busy keeping stock of medical items. It would have been better in his personal opinion to have last year's host see through with this program. At least, it would be much simpler to have their former host do his duty rather than someone inexperienced like Aries. Even more unsettling was Capricorn, the previous host, had disappeared three years ago. At first, none had left a shred of worry or guilt as they had expected Capricorn to return sooner or later. Aries, being more curious than the other employees, had implied Roy for details onto this matter. This was responded by an explanation that Capricorn was sent on a mission to Hathor for the time being, yet no other details were relayed.
Even without this direct knowledge, with a bit of background knowledge onto Roy, Aries had understood the "task" immediately. He chuckled out of view at his employer's absurdity. It's been five years, but that guy still doesn't change... Well, I guess that's understandable given his situation.
The announcer reveled his head to the onlookers, who had noticed as Aries bent over, clutching his stomach with both arms. Nova had collided the side of a clenched fist to the pedestal in impatience. Usually, this action was uncommon from the poet, but his anxiety of being condemned in the realm known as Dreamscape had heavily affected his mentality. He hoarsely screeched as to why they hadn't started the next round yet, which was supported by a few muffles of the other contestants. The speaker shrugged as he shook his head, implying, "Yes, yes, we will get onto the match soon. We just had a... malfunction with our teleportation equipment. Onto instructions, everyone will be applied in the same arena, which is a dirt playing field surrounded by a twelve foot high wall followed by a series of seats. Your available actions are attack, in which one must specify towards who and what item they will be using for the attack (this includes the fire rune); chant, where one performs a spell that does not have an offensive ability (does not include fire rune); and move, where a player must state as to which square he or she will move to (one can cross only the same amount of squares as their agility, so if my agility equals two, then I can only move two squares in one command). Now, if you have any troubles, feel free to just give a shout out (on Skype).
Now, as I mentioned about "move," here is the board for the arena:
A B C D E
I I I I
1 I I I I
I I I I
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I I I I
2 I I I I
I I I I
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I I I I
3 I I I I
I I I I
Please give all movement commands with the space's letter and number.
Okay, to add onto agility again, agility is the stat that increases dodge, but also determines how many spaces one can move on the board each turn, so for example... again, if I start at A1 and my agility is two, then at most, I can only move to C1. Here is where classes play in. Paladins can only attack those two spaces horizontally and vertically, but only one space away when referring to diagonally. Archers can attack anywhere on the board, and shamans can attack only three spaces horizontally and vertically, but not diagonally. If you wish to attack, just input the target's name, and if the target is in range, then it will have a chance of hitting. For this round, everyone will have a chance of ten turns; if they chose not to eat and drink for this round, then that number is decreased to eight maximum turns for this round. Now, everyone is expected to send in commands given the time limit, but before doing so, please select a square on the grid as your starting point." Rasping for air near the end of his explanation, Aries fumbled off the set towards the entrance of the bird cage. The rest stood as they had expected to be flashed elsewhere in an instant, but this was not so until Aries had returned, still gasping, with a shaky glass of water in one limp hand.
He gave a half-hearted wave of his hand as he was about to topple over, but before the competitors could view the spectacle, they had been caught in the familiar neon-colored lights.
Fifteen years since the incident whereshe he died; fifteen years since he she survived.
