You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.

The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.

After doing a bit of reading, you went to open the door to head outside... and Princess Luciana was just kind of standing there.

You certainly weren't expecting that.


>Congratuations, you are now a mangy DOG!
>While dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...
>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!
>But while dogs are man's best friend, they still don't count as people.

"G- good afternoon, Reinhold..." she says, blushing. "Er, I was just about to knock, and..."

"...and?" you reply.
"...and you kind of threw me off, opening the door like that all of a sudden!" Luciana says with a nervous giggle. "So, um... Takamaru was saying that the two of you were going to spar tonight?"
"I was actually just about to go and find him when I ran into you."
"Sorry about that," she laughs. "Umm, would you mind if I tagged along? I'd love to see your swordsmanship first-hand..."

>yeah, why not
>my sparring is not a spectator sport

>INB4 Takamaru takes off his sash and shirt, revealing his tanned skin and chiseled pecs.
>INB4 we remove our shirt as well, as is tradition.
>INB4 we do the dance, blades riposting and parrying, never breaking eye contact, trying to find the other's next move in the other's eyes, catching all the other details and moves in our unfocused periphery.
>Sweat. Sweat everywhere.

hey Archelon, as much as you want this to be a complete VN anime style, i can also see your quest to make a nice 2D side scroller fighter game like Marvel vs Capcom/ guilty gear/ street fighter or what ever floats your boat. i bet this could be another kickstarter project that could work.

"Sure, why not," you reply. "Just don't tell Princess Elena or she'll get jealous."
"Now you're making me -want- to tell her, just to rub it in," Luciana giggles. "But thanks, I wasn't sure how you'd feel about having me watch you fight..."
"Eh, I'm used to spectators, what with the whole tournament thing," you say with an embarrassed smile.

"Ah, that's right," Luciana says, snapping her fingers. "I've seen Takamaru fight many times, though he wasn't able to show his best during the tournament because of the no-magic restriction..."
"You think that maybe he'd be willing to spar with me full-on, magic included? I've never actually fought like that before," you ask.
"Ehehe... sorry, but I can't allow that," Luciana sighs.
"Huh? Why not?"
"Because I'd much rather not see my future husband get murdered in what's supposed to be a friendly sparring session," she says, frowning.

"And even if you're able to defend against them somehow, it's still rather dangerous for anyone who may be in the vicinity," Luciana explains.
"...oh. Alright then." you reply, ignoring the "future husband" comment.

...actually, I'm picturing a bird's-eye rpg, except it's a fucking romance game with VN-like scenes popping up whenever you talk to someone. The whole thing is timed since you have a schedule to keep and you're fucked if you let Marie out of your sight while on the clock. Your training's all mini-games, and how good do in those determine your progress. Combat comes in the for of sparring sessions and random encounters while in town.

actually, you might be onto something. luciana seems the plotting type, and she had a throwaway line in a previous thread where she mentioned rein being marriable if he did something incredible enough to warrant being given a title, and she's behaving nervously, and her bodyguard isn't here right now

she might have orchestrated an attack on herself so that we can fend it off and get mad brownie points with the king

get your bodyguard mode on, rein, there might be shit on the horizon

Aww, fuck. Just got here and no magic sparring?

This isn't about having a fair fight, this is about bodyguard training. If Marianne gets attacked by mages we need to know how to handle it at our current level.

My enthusiasm for this fight just vanished.

I personally think Rein shouldn't marry at all, at least in the near future. He still has some psychological scarring in regards to intimacy to get over, first.

>>
>>28645656
We landed a hit on the most powerful swordsman in the kingdom, and are currently training under him. We beat the captain of the royal guard. We beat a half dragon, and shattered his (albeit toned-down) claws.

We're not the royal bodyguard for our magical ability, we're the royal bodyguard because of our sword skills.
>>
>>28645638
yeah, i have to agree.

the quest should end open ended like all the anime.

and you have to actually buy the game to have the end you want.

the other problem is that her plan can screw over takky,

yeah, and our sword skills are totally fucking irrelevant if we get taken out by magic

marianna slammed us into a wall and froze us in place in ice in a single spell. admittedly, we weren't on guard, but if rein gets taken by surprise and trapped like that by someone with any ill intent it's fucking over

Am I truly surrounded by such hormonally driven fools? Do not encourage Luciana's advances. Marianne route is the clear True Route. I do not care for her personality, but unlocking her route requires you to befriend and bind ALL the girls together.

Do you not see? /tg/... to fully experience the story we must capture Marianne herself! These beautiful birds are but distractions on the path to true VN mastery.
>>
>>28645754
Which is why we should be fighting Taka with his magic to learn how to deal with that on just sword skills and the few spells we know.

Do you really think that if this sort of thing was a major threat, the king would let us defend his daughter?

>>
>>28645779
if we were close to his level, maybe

this is like saying you send a child into a warzone to learn how to fight

he's just going to take us out in one spell if we allow magic, look at luciana's reaction to that suggestion.

>"Because I'd much rather not see my future husband get murdered in what's supposed to be a friendly sparring session," she says, frowning.
>"And even if you're able to defend against them somehow, it's still rather dangerous for anyone who may be in the vicinity," Luciana explains.

this aint sparkle shine, this is a danger to everyone in the goddamned area

>>28645785
we have scrolls of sanctuary etc in case we get attacked by magic users in 'real life'. luciana doesn't think we're totally incapable, so if we're not allowed to fight with magic there's a reason. marianne spends most of her time in the castle, where she's surrounded by guards and high-level knights, or in the nearby town, which is also policed by guards and probably not full of magic using assassins.
>>

"Actually..." you begin, "would it be okay if we got Elena to come and watch?"
"...are you serious?" Luciana replies, clearly not pleased with that suggestion.
"Well, she seemed interested in that kind of thing... but you did mention before that your father didn't really approve..."
"Ugh... Marianne was complaining about how you're irritatingly nice sometimes..." she sighs. "Oh well, it -would- make her happy..."

Slumping over in an exaggerated pose of defeat, Luciana grabs you by the wrist and pulls you out of the room.

"C'mon, I saw her wandering around a few minutes ago..." Luciana says, all of her previous enthusiasm having vanished.

She then leads you down the hallway and into the main section of the castle, where you soon find Elena running circles around a young man with silver hair.

"C'mon, calm down already..." the young man says, sighing.
"But you KNOW it'd be cool, right?" Elena says as she continues to run around. "You have a fancy title, so I should too! Like the 'red meteor' or something, it even goes with yours!"
"That is WAY too lame to have as a title, and it's not like I'm fond of my own."
"But it's cooooool!"

Yeah, her NEFARIOUS plot to spend some alone time with a guy she has never gotten a moment to herself before.

Initially I started writing an angry post about how stupid it was to encourage Luciana to join us (although if we'd said no I suspect she'd have just pulled rank on us and watched anyway, or watched secretly from some hidden vantage). However, if we lose, which is certainly possibly with /tg/ dice, it will be a good test of her character.

If she gives us the cold shoulder or is otherwise rude after we lose, she's a bitch and we should drop her. If she becomes clingy and overly concerned with our welfare, she's crazy and we should drop her. If we find out she ordered Takamaru to throw the match, she's crazy and we should drop her.

I'm just worried what will happen if we win...

Have the two spar, then hope someone gets a sprained ankle. If it's Takamaru she goes "of course Reinhold can protect me on the way to my room". If it's Reinhold it's "oh no Reinhold, I must nurse you back to health!"

"You'll need to be really fast if you want to be called 'red meteor'..." you call out. "...like three times as fast! Blazing like a comet!" you say, pointing into the distance for emphasis.
"See, he gets it!" Elena says as she races towards you with a huge smile on her face.
"Whatever..." the young man mumbles as he places a hand to his forehead. "Good evening, Princess Luciana."

"Good evening," Luciana replies. "Reinhold and I are heading to the training hall because he'd planned on sparring with Takamaru... and he -insisted- that we invite Elena along if she wanted."
"Really!?" Elena says, her smile growing even wider. "That'd be like super duper awesome!"
"I guess I can't be blamed this time for being a bad influence..." the young man says with a tired smile.

"Umm, ummm... this is my bodyguard!" Elena says, pointing to him while jumping up and down excitedly. "Andreas Sternennacht, the Knight of the Starry Sky!"
"Ignore the title, I know it's incredibly lame," Andreas says as he extends his arm towards you.

When it's time for the fight to begin let's let Luciana hold onto our sword. Tell her it's our most prized possession and we trust her with it (for the duration of the duel).

If Reinhold's going to have a title it should be the one his would-be adopted father had. The one that I can't recall at the moment.

And he has to damn-well live up to it.

I think we should just be mature. We're the Princess's bodyguard and shouldn't act like a kid (even if we still are by todays standards).

If he tries to start, we can bring up the fact he got off easily. Say that nobody, including the members of royalty thought we went too far, and a few thought we didn't go far /enough/. And at the least, criminal charges could've been brought against him for what he did .We can say sucker punching him may have been a bit too rash, though.

"I'm only this nice because I let a little girl walk all over me," Andreas says with a tired laugh. "I hope you don't have to suffer the same hardships."
"You're as melodramatic as ever, I see..." Luciana says. "We both know that you're just a huge softie, so you really should stop trying to pretend that you're not."

"Ugh, whatever..." Andreas mumbles. "So you're actually going to spar with Takamaru?" he asks you.
"That's the plan, at least," you reply.
"Practice swords and no magic, right?"
"I was kind of hoping for magic, but the Princess here vetoed that," you say in a disappointed tone.

"Good," Andreas replies. "The spells that guy uses aren't really suited for anything aside from killing, if you get what I mean."
"That's what I was trying to explain to him," Luciana chimes in.

"Hey, Andreas!" Elena says, tugging on his sleeve.
"Hm?" Andreas replies.
"Why don't you fight the winner?"
"No thanks, dealing with you all day is more than enough of a workout."

>>
I wasn't here to vote for it, but I'm glad we chose to ask to bring Elena along. I think it can help justify Reinhold's uneasiness about romance. Maybe because Reinhold was raped as a child, some parts of his emotional growth were stunted and though he can understand romance on an intellectual level, he can't emotionally which is why he is unable to reciprocate feelings for any girl at this time. This could lead him to identifying more with children rather than others of his age due to his immaturity and could be why he chose to bring along Elena so as not to be alone with Luciana, who he feels uneasy with.

>>28647500
Because Citrine was there to morally support him and make sure he didn't become a jaded fucker.

Also, someone mentioned earlier that Reinhold is basically like Marianne in that he covers up his personal issues and low self-esteem with his attitude, he's just irritatingly friendly rather than abrasive.

>>28647578

>>
>>28647576
Because of Volker wanting to adopt us. Which would lead to Luciana persuading her father to let us adopt the Volker surname. Which would make us eligible for marrying her. Hence Luciana route lock (or big flag, at the very least)

No such thing as "too old" for adoption, certainly not in noble-land. At any rate it's not the time to bring up grandma, leave it until later. That's probably one of the things Luciana wanted to talk about on our walk.

Because manipulating things to get a guy, who may not even be interested in her that way, to marry her is totally a good thing and not horribly obsessive, insensitive, and jerkish.

Luciana schemes a bit too much, but I doubt she'd pull that. And if she did I'm turning her down because that's insane.

The nobility formally adopted grown men into their families. It was especially common when there were no remaining heirs.
>>
>>28647608
Arch has already stated multiple times that there will be no route locks (barring huge fuckups) for a long while.

So Luciana's problem is basically the same as Nicollete's problem. Just replace "secrets" with "schemes."

They're definitely related.
>>
>>28647576
>Eh she would have to work some what hard since it is basically our word against any noble who is against a whore son getting a tittle so easily

No it's not. It's their word against the princess and the actual house.

Not to mention that the king would be on our side. Remember, this adoption isn't just for us. It'd be a way to show favor to his favorite artist AND rejuvenate an almost-dead clan into one with good foreign relations with reason to be loyal to him.

By Marrying us off to his fourth daughter he's cementing relations with the kingdom he wants to, favors the people he wants to favor him, and creating a new political arm that could serve his royalty for GENERATIONS.

It's an opprotunity too good NOT to take.
>>
>>28647628
You could try not shitposting, via either actually waiting or discussing something else instead of shitposting.

>>28647657
Well if you look at it from her point of view this is her chance to escape her fate of just being a political tool that is more then likely going to end up in a loveless marriage.

This i still can't believe people can't get this through their heads.
He is leaving route locks for later, so that we can get close to the girls and know them more before deciding on who we are gonna stay with.

>>28647755
Why does everyone assume Luciana is scheming all the time? So may people are pissed at Marie because she thinks we're a scheming sleazebag when we're actually just a nice person, but we're treating Luciana the same way Marie treats us.

Maybe, just maybe, Luciana happens to be a nice person who also happens to have a crush.

Everyone will band together until its their turn, at which point everyone else will band together against them

I understand her position but she's still being horribly insensitive to Reinhold. It's like he's a commoner and doesn't have any say if the princess decides something.

>>28647793
That is worst than his since it implies she is just using reinhold.
>>28647767
I don't think it would be that easy honestly.
>>
>>28647817
Well mainly becuase of this
>>28647793
And that she only known us personally for a few days
>>
>>28647817
She DOES make plans that heavily involves us without consulting us. She's already shown that. "Scheme" might be too strong a word but she has issues with going too far and not giving people much of a say. She admitted as much herself. I don't think she's terrible for it or anything. Just lacking in a bit of tact.

She gets excited sometimes, so what?

What is the nobility gonna do?

The king, princess, and elder of the related house would all be on board. It doesn't matter what the nobles thing in terms of if it's going to actually happen. They can make life difficult AFTER, but the process itself they have no say in.

If the king has reservations, we're like two months out from knighthood max at the pace we're going. A noble with a knightly title and friends with his favorite foreign royals is a DAMN good motivator.
>>
>>28648014
I think the part where you're making the assumption that the king would be immediately on board with it is stupid. She wants Luci to marry for new alliances, not strengthening old ones. Especially if his merging plan goes through.

As the four of you make your way down to the training hall, you decide to pass the time talking.

"So Andreas, do you have a six-month bodyguard shift like Takamaru has?" you ask.
"Yeah... I got this gig shortly after I was knighted, and I've been at it for a month now. Gotta say that literal babysitting wasn't what I had in mind, to be honest." Andreas replies with a sigh.
"You know you enjoy looking after my little sister," Luciana teases.
"Yup, Andreas is my best friend!" Elena says happily. "I'm gonna ask Papa if he can stick around longer!"

"Actually, I'm fairly certain that that would result in Andreas's term being shortened, considering Father's paranoia about men..." Luciana replies. "He doesn't want any of our bodyguards getting too close to us, after all."
"Makes me wonder what's going to happen when Karel's term is up," Andreas replies.
"Father's a lot less paranoid when it comes to his sons, so Karel's probably going to be guarding Emilio for a while to come," Luciana shrugs. "And he seems to be a good influence on him, which Father most definitely appreciates..."

"Hmm... did you fight in that tournament too?" you ask.
"Nah, that's not my kind of thing," Andreas replies. "Besides, I'm a magic swordsman and the no magic rule kind of cuts down on my effectiveness a lot."
"And he was a Knight before the tournament, so he didn't care enough to enter!" Elena chimes in.
"I'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from saying things that make me sound like a lazy git..." Andreas sighs.

thats a bit too quick especially considering that nico has been trying for a few years and all the knights are monsters.
For that to happen we need to do a few time skips.
The reason i say hard is because your assuming the king would go through with it immediately and that trying to revive an old house that doesn't have much power instead of making new allies is the better choice for him politically.

He's not likely to be a hundred percent. Reinhold is a huge step down from the king or most of the other candidates. He'd be settling BIG TIME if he said yes.

However, the pros likely outweigh the cons. He strengthens both his foreign relations and his home base in a single stroke, reinforces half his alliances, and buddies up to Reinhold himself, who looks like he's legitmiatley on his way to legendary status like 5-10 years down the line.

Making new alliances is nice, but most of his offers haven't come through.

For someone whos only been in the service of granche for less than 2 months. No.

Debatable. Depends on how much Rein improves but at this point? Not by much.

>and buddies up to Reinhold himself, who looks like he's legitmiatley on his way to legendary status like 5-10 years down the line.

In an attempt to give the obviously exasperated Andreas a bit of a breather, you try and change the subject.

"So, uh... Princess Elena?" you say.
"Hm?" Elena replies.
"How was your day today?"
"Umm... me and Andreas spent all day hanging out in town!" she says, a happy smile on her face. "And then we hung out with Melanie for a while, and Andreas bought me a bunny hat!"

"Wow, you really do spoil her..." Luciana says, nudging him with her elbow.
"It's that look she gives you when she really wants something... it's like her eyes are digging right into your soul," Andreas sighs. "I hope I never end up having any daughters, or they'll end up walking all over me."
"It's certainly looking like that!"

It's looking like all conversations are ending with Andreas being the target of teasing... as such, you decide to keep your mouth shut until you make it down to the training hall. And luckily, Takamaru's already there, practicing his sword strokes in a secluded corner away from everyone else.

"Ever since that tournament, none of the guards want to train with Takamaru anymore... I feel kind of bad for him now," Luciana says.
"Yeah, I know EXACTLY how that feels," you reply with a sad chuckle.
"Let me go and get him, and then we can get this thing started!"

With that, Luciana scurries off to go fetch her bodyguard, leaving the rest of you standing by the entrance.

"If anyone asks, this was your sister's idea," Andreas says to Elena.
"I know, I don't want you to get in trouble," Elena replies.

That certainly didn't take long... Luciana and Takamaru are already headed over to where you are.

"It's nice to see you again, Takamaru." you say. "How's it been?"
"I have been well enough," Takamaru replies with a bow. "I was expecting Princess Luciana to watch us spar, but you and Princess Elena will be here as well, Andreas?"
"Yeah, we got an official invite and everything," Andreas says, shrugging. "I'll make sure to keep Princess Elena out of your way though, so don't mind us."
"I'm not going to get in the way!" Elena pouts.

"Yeah, yesh..." Andreas says, rustling the little princess's hair. "It was just s joke, I know you know better than that."
"Boo..." Elena mumbles as she puffs out her cheeks.

"Alright, let's get this over before Elena's bedtime," Luciana says as she hands you a practice sword.
"Thanks," you reply as you take the sweord from her. "How does first to three sound?" you ask.
"Very well," Takamaru replies.

With that out of the way, the five of you make your way to an area near the middle of the training hall where there's nothing that you'll end up tripping over. Since your sword is rather heavy, you detach it from your belt...

The thing that really puzzles me is that the waifuism is a reverse of what I typically do when I play a VN.
I try to collect as many flags as possible, and only agonize over a choice when I have to choose between two of the characters to get a point for. But somehow a vocal sub-group has decided that no one is allowed to have any flags even when it's at no cost to one of the other waifus.

"Could you hold onto this for me?" you say to Luciana as you hand her your sword.
"O- of course" Luciana stammers as she takes it from you, her face bright red.
"Aww, I wanted to hold it..." Elena mumbles.
"Nobody's stupid enough to hand YOU a real sword," Andreas remarks, rolling his eyes. "You'd end up killing yourself."
"No I wouldn't, I'm not dumb!" she pouts.

Ignoring her sister's whining, Luciana walks over to where she and Andreas are and then shoos them further back so that you and Takamaru have enough area to spar.

"Are you ready?" Takamaru asks.
"Whenever you are," you reply as you get into a low stance.
"Very well, then..." he says as he draws his practice sword back. "...HAJIME!"

In a flash, Takamaru lunges in, aiming a sword thrust right at the center of your chest. But you see it coming, and sidestep it without much trouble... but then he immediately segues that thrust into a horizontal slash that you barely managed to avoid.

While Takamaru's movements are rigid in form, he chains each one into the next with insane precision... just from the little you've seen, you can understand why he made it so far in the tournament.

He then goes in for the kill, dashing to your side and trying for a diagonal slash before you can react... but you -do- react, the weeks of Arnaud's Hell Training having ensured that you can, in fact, follow Takamaru's decidedly slower movements.

But following his movements isn't exactly the same as keeping up with them, and it's all you can do to block his swing.

CRACK

You skid back a few feet from the sheer force of Takamaru's blow... holy shit, this guy is STRONG. Deciding that staying on the defensive is way too risky, you rush in with a stab to his chest, which he parries...

...or he WOULD have parried it had it not been a feint. Taking full advantage of the opening, you spin around and hit Takamaru square in the back, making a satisfying THUD.

"One for Reinhold!" Luciana says, jumping up and down while hugging your sword with both arms.
"Heh, not bad," Andreas says with a smirk.
"W... wow..." Elena stares at the two of you, her mouth agape in awe.

After dusting himself off where he got hit, Takamaru resumes his previous stance, his expression completely blank. He then lunges at you with a diagonal slash. Though you see it coming, you judge that you won't be able to dodge it so you plant your feet firmly on the ground, tighten your grip, and...

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

With a roar, you match Takamaru's swing with one of your own. You can feel the impact as your swords clash, protecting you from his attack...

...and then your sword keeps on going.

RIGHT THROUGH TAKAMARU'S.

Breaking through your opponent's weapon as if it was a twig, your own practice sword races towards Takamaru's face.

But he dashes back at the last possible moment, just barely missing getting his face smashed in. With a sigh, he drops his practice sword and cracks his knuckles.

"Uh... but you dodged that one," you say uneasily.
"I avoided grave injury, but I was indeed hit," Takamaru replies as he places a finger on the bridge of his nose and shows it to you, stained faintly with blood.
"...wow."

"Umm, that makes two for Reinhold, then!" Luciana says with a warm smile.
"Damn... broke right through his sword, just like Volker Eschenwald used to do," Andreas says with a chuckle.

And Elena... she's in heaven right now, watching you and Takamaru with the utmost attention and a massive smile on her face.

I think that would be out of character. More likely these spars will serve as a baseline for arch to base Reinhold's skill off of. When we punched out that drunk we didn't even have to roll because we were just that much better than him.

Unless we're going up against someone way out of our league we're good. We can probably sweep through mooks with average rolls.

he will do good as long as he won't fight saiyans, nemics,primarchs, etc.

he's had a lot of real life fights albeit only bandits and killed a few already.

Familiars are outlawed because they summon random magical creatures to people and force them to be bound to a person's will. Dragons weren't happy that their babies were disappearing and being used as servants.

Saying something in a language that you don't understand, Takamaru walks over to a nearby bin of practice swords, grabs one, and takes a low stance. "KAKATTE KIYAGARE!!"

While you have no idea what that meant either, you make a guess and rush in as fast as you can, your sword drawn back. Swinging the second you're within striking range, you try and hit Takamaru in the chest... but he does a defensive swipe while backstepping, deflecting your blow entirely.

"HAAAA!!" Takamaru shouts as she does a lunging stab, barely missing your collarbone. Making a point to be extra careful now, you try and create some distance between the two of you...

...but Takamatu isn't having ANY of that, rushing in as fast as you can go backwards, pressing into you with a flurry of sword strikes that are much unlike his previously meticulous movements.

In an attempt to regain the offensive, you dash to the side and try and create an opening, but Takamaru reads your movements and meets your sword with his own, turning to face you once more.

He then swings at you with a vertical slash which you barely evade. Taking the opportunity to attack while he's regaining his balance, you thrust at his side...

...and it connects?

"That's three for Reinhold! You win!" Luciana says as she jumps up and down excitedly.
"konchikusho..." Takamaru mutters under his breath as he rubs where you hit him.

>how do you react?

>>28650542
Pretty sure it's been stated that humans are lowest on the totempole and cannot make contracts among themselves.

Binomial Distribution should be used to model that.
Two states: Pass and Fail.
n = number of trials (3)
p = probability of success (between 0 and 1)
Trials are independent of one another
X = number of successes (we need 1)
X is a discreet random variable with possible values 0 through n
X has the Binomial Distribution with parameters n and p.
1~Bin(3, p)
1~Bin(3, p)

We have to work this backwards a little bit, because we want to find the ddistribution that gives us .5 and .75 as a result - p will be the d20 value that gives it.

Fortunately, I still have my book from college. It has tables.

50% success chance for this is p=.5, or DC 10.
75% success chance for this is p=~.35, or DC 7.

Doing math on the DCs gets awkward when you take into account the fact that any 1 gives you a failure even if there was another success in the 3 rolls.

If there were no criticals, a DC of 15.874 would give us a 50% passrate, while a DC of 12.6 would give us a 75% passrate.

>>28650659
Offering a handshake as the person who just won a duel seems like kind of a dick move.

>>28650638
Lower our weapon, say our pleasantries (good match, apologize for not warning him about the sword-breaking, etc.), return a handshake if one is offered, and try to talk shop a little bit (ask him what the deal was with his change in style between the second and third point, other questions about his style, etc.)
>>
>>28650666
Are... are you retarded? Without even doing any math, I can tell you that is horribly wrong because we only need one success on three die, we aren't taking the average of them like you are doing with the Bin function.
>>
Good thing this wasnt an actual defeat for Takamaru

Otherwise he might have to sudoku from the shame

Despite the fact we're a better swordsman, we are likely a worse combatent

>how do you react?
Thank him for the fight... maybe a bow Japanese bow a lot right?
>>
>>28650666
No, see, that's the probability of getting one success. In this context, you need at least one success, so you'd have to instead subtract the probability of getting no successes from 1.
>>
>>28650638
Manly handshake time!
"Thank him for the match. Also apologize for the hit aiming his face, it was notentirely intentional."

This works.

>>28650776

Debatable since that little stunt he jut pulled could mean that he didn't consider us a threat until the last minute and that cost him the game.

The change in style is obvious, he got PISSED.

I think he expected to walk away from this fight with a handy win, maybe a single point. A clean sweep is probably eating away at him.

1.He was holding back on magic
2.He got cocky and didn't fight seriously until it was too late

konchikushou is basically slang for "damn" or "damn you".

>>28650848
There is when it almost leads to us unexpectedly smashing his nose to a pulp. The only reason we didn't send him to the infirmary is because he was good enough to realize what was happening so he could get out of the way.

It works like a charm in actual combat situations, but nobody's expecting their weapon to just snap in half during a training bout.

I don't think he was holding back so much as he lost his temper.

I think that was more him losing his temper at the sword breaking bullshit, rather than him stopping from holding back.
>>
>>28650942
I don't think he was holding back.

That change in style could just as easily have been him losing his temper, or him realizing that his normal fighting style wasn't working and switching to a less rigid style on the fly.
>>
>>28650995
Or he figured out that his other style wasn't cutting it and he wanted to try approaching from a different angle.

Seriously, we cut his sword in half. He probably realized something needed to change.

Maybe not on purpose, but from the way his spells were said to be i think his style would be more aggressive and he might not wanted to hurt us.
>>
>>28651000
You're not understanding why it's worth apologizing over.

It's not about making excuses for the style we use, it's about saying we're sorry it almost got him badly injured.

He was forbidden from using magic during our bout in part because most of what he knows combat-wise is lethal, and practice bouts are supposed to be relatively safe.

Getting bludgeoned across the face doesn't seem terribly safe.
>>
>>28650965
does it involve her excusing herself right away and somehow one part of the scabbard is a bit damp?
>>
>>28651013
I think it was more in disbelief if anything since it sounded like a last resort move like sword throw attack, but yeah him getting pissed is a good possibility as well.
>>
>>28651053
Getting bludgeoned across the face could prolly result in damage to an eye or two

unless we have healing scrolls nearby
>>
>>28651017
True, anyway we should ask him about that change and see if it was on purpose or a loss of self control.

Luciana and Takamaru are magical as all fuck, though.

I'm sure they could heal any wooden sword booboo.
