>>33969416
I don't like this princess. She's a twat.

>>33969283
Pet her ears.

>>33969490
Until she learns how to be a proper princess?

>>33969443
So is Jack. Do you hate him too?

>>33969490
No, that comes after our glorious return from attaining victory.

>>33969490
Yes!

>>33969500
Jack is a pirate. I expect him to be a twat. Royalty, I hold to a higher standard. Especially Dog Days royalty.

>>33969416
I don't like this princess. Lacks refinement and grace.
And I bet her ears and tail aren't even that great either.

>>33969500
How is jack a twat? Hes a dense jackass but he isn't a twat, he has more manners than a fucking princess

>>33969544
>>33969553
Also this. Technically, he's not that bad compared to how the 'Princess' has been in the 5 minutes we've known her.

Fritelli breaks her silence, "I know this is just for practice, but what do you gain by making such a terrible tactical move?"

'Thank you Fritelli' You think to yourself, 'You just voiced the opinion I would have had if I were a Commander myself.'

The princess sighs, looking gradually more impatient,
"You two, it's not like either of you can get hurt. I just want you to go score as many points as possible before we lose so it doesn't look like a complete failure on our part."

"But!"
Fritelli is too slow to respond, several well-dressed men who you assume to be generals have pushed their way into the tent and have started talking with the princess. You walk out in disgust with Fritelli in tow.

"That was disappointing in every manner that I can be disappointed."
Your heels are starting to drag, if it weren't for the fact that you have to deal with icebitch, then you would have already started running back toward the castle and leave this 'battle' to rot.

Fritelli sighs, "Please forgive her, she's a kind person at heart, really."
"If she is, then she has an interesting way of showing it, lass." You spit.

"No, it's just that," She sighs, looking down at her boots before continuing,
"When we were young, she used to be the most delicate, elegant princess the land had ever seen. Her beauty and manners was the pride and joy of the kingdom for many years. She had suitors and admirers from distant lands and kingdoms that I had never heard about."

"Could have fooled me, so what changed?"

"No one knows, when she entered her teenage years, she just sort of snapped. She started wearing boys clothes, talking like a street hooligan, sneaking out at night disguised to drink at the local pub. One of the butlers told me that the last time she used a salad fork was to groom her own tail."

>>33969498
Yup.

>>33969490
We can molest the princess AFTER we demonstrate our hero-ness.

>>33969579
>sob story
blah blah, fuck her

>>33969579
So she's being a rebellious teenager, right. Got it.

Still not exactly seeing why we should be sympathizing with her yet.

Fritelli looks over to you, "In a way she acts a lot like you do."

"Lass, I take more offense at that than you realize."

She stops and watches over the battlefield from your vantage point, the Galette front lines have shuffled closer since you and her have been talking.

There are obstacle courses and mazes strewn about the battlefield, you can see the tiny dots that are supposed to be people running through them and dueling amongst them.

"Argh, so, what's the plan?"

"Well," She starts to say,

>"I think we should just go straight through them"
>"We could sneak around, but we would have more obstacle courses to run"
>"There's some knights holding the flanks, if we can beat them, the rest should fall pretty easily."

Argh, so I'm seeing "Let's punch through" and "Let's harass those knights"

>>33969974

Too slow with the number of enemies seen. Jack will be at best able to do a quick pump and run, and that's not enough to break them.

"Let's just go straight through them. If the worst thing that happens to me is that I turn into a tiny ball, I'll consider this one of my better days." You say

"Hmm, Hold on Jack, look at those knights guarding the flanks, they're facing away from the enemy lines. So if we punch through at that side, we can hit them from behind. Knights are worth quite a few points, so we could probably just call it quits once we knock a few out."

"Hah, smart Lass. Getting it done quick is a plan I can get behind." This is your philosophy on most things, at least.

You two make your way down the hill, toward the sounds of fighting and competition. You're still not used to the idea of fighting not actually equaling harm, but at least hitting some lackeys will get your mind off the bizarre situation you're in.

BATTLE START!

Jack Albator:
Barrier Suit HP-
Coat (50/50)
Pants (25/25)
Undershirt (25/25)
Cuffs (10/10)
Necktie (5/5)
Belt (5/5)
Scarf(5/5)

When you get hit, choose an article of clothing to apply the damage to. Damage does not carry over to other pieces of clothing.

Weapons -
Flintlock Pistol(Trained) - 1d60 in hand
Cutlass(Trained) - 1d60 in hand

Effect:
When you roll for damage, Roll a 2d60, includes criticals.

----

You spin and wave your pistol around in the air, Fritelli readies the rapier she picked up from the armory. Slowly the tiny ants on the field become taller and take a more human form. Slowly, you and Fritelli approach the first line of defense.

"Argh, Lackies, Ye can hand over yer goods and valuables, or pay with your lives, ye will!"

You have waited so long to be able to say that. Usually the captain gets dibs on dramatic threats.

The pointy-haired, spindly weaklings all gather themselves, at least 15 in total at this camp, and stare blankly at you.

"Wait, who are you?"
"Aye am mighty Jack Albator, and you can-"
"Oh!" A particularly short one exclaims, "Ms. Fritelli! I didn't know you were taking the field today."

"Why can't anyone let me finish my dramatic speeches."

"I still need to pay you back for the last time we met, Ms. Fritelli!" He draws a small, wooden sword, everyone else prepares the attack.
"Hah," She says, sneering, "I would love to see you try!"

>Roll 2D60, Best of three

>You are being attacked by 15 at once, each weakling has an HP of 3, so your DC in total is 45.

I'm sure Announcer has discussed it. Bear in mind that this picture >>33971134 is of the obligatory schoolboy protagonist and, I believe, the princess of biscotti who summoned him. So yeah, they had to share a bed to recharge his powers, though since they're like 12 nothing happened between them. We, meanwhile, are a young and handsome corsair likely in his early 20s who was summoned by a warrior woman who's probably about our age.

>46, 57 (Bonus! 13!)

These guys aren't going to be much of a fight to you. Fritelli already has the same idea as her rapier swishes in the air.

>31 from 1d80, (Not great, Fritelli.)

She slices and dices the surrounding atmosphere, breaking some swords, shattering some armor, and you think one guy just lost his pants.

Yet, none of them seem to strike these lackeys, she seems to be struggling some with how they are dodging and moving around her.
Oddly enough, none of them even bother paying any attention to you. They're all concentrated on Fritelli.

"You all have been practicing, I can tell!" She says, maniacal grin getting larger.

You, however, are tired of the banter that you're not involved in.

You spin your pistol on your finger several times and ready your cutlass. Using a trick Fritelli used earlier against your shot; you draw your pistol and fire, and then use your cutlass to cut the green bolt into several dozen pieces which all pierce the weaklings at various angles, trajectories, and forces.

There's a collection of groans and yelps before the entire camp erupts into smoke. Leaving plush balls in their midst.

A particularly small fluffball starts squeaking, "Pretty...good..Next time..I'll go for...you first..." before rolling over onto his head.

Fritelli turns around to reveal a couple scrapes and scratches to her clothing.

"Someone has been coaching these troops, they don't usually fight this well."

"I must admit, Lass, I am underwhelmed."
"Hmph, that's just because you're several times stronger than any other person on this battlefield. Keep your guard up, though. Something isn't quite right here."

You both dash from the camp before reinforcements arrive, moving across the field to a large camp situated on a small hill. You can see even more weaklings swarm and mull about inside.

>>33971451
Hm... someone's been drilling the soldiers eh?

Who wants to be its samurai girl instilling some discipline in this rabble?

Before you can start up your dramatic entrance, Fritelli speaks up and alerts the camp,

"Hey! We need to get by you, so can we just get this over with so we can pass?"
"Eh? Ms Fritelli? I mean.. Sure! Okay! Who is that with you?"
"Engarde!"

You wish someone would take you seriously.

So dice are cumulative? And do we have to decide to use bonus before a roll or can we do that after?

Do note when you use a bonus, that deducts from your score.

Wow, the complete opposite of the first encounter.

>>33971655
3 points fine whatever let's go.

>>33971655
Do note: your friend just easily beat that DC of 60.

>>33971689
I don't think it matters how many points we exactly decide to use, the amount deducted for doing it is the same?

>>33971712
See guys? Don't burn the points.

>>33971689
Sorry, you're not deducting 3 points from your score to add it to your own, you're adding your score to your roll and then halving your score as a penalty.

>>33971756
Okay, that makes more sense.

Yeah, we don't need to burn our score for this encounter, Fritelli took care of it.

>>33971756
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, save the points.

Okay, so

>Go to the Knights after this

>writing

>>33971756
So if we decide to start burning bonus, it's always going to 1/2 of our current score?

>>33971873
You'll have options to lower that reduction, but yes. For now it's at 1/2.

I'm also going to make a pastebin for this because I realize now that it's kind of confusing.

>>33971873
I imagine it'll depend on who we're fighting

>>33971947
Thank you, Announcer, that would be very helpful

>>33971983
My apologies, I should have had it up before we did our first battlefield encounter.

>>33971947
If that's the case, there is no real point to building up bonus beyond getting enough for the boss. At most you'll get one extra turn of roll improvement.

Which is perfectly fine.

>>33971947
>>33972009

So I guess right now the purpose of the bonus is to build it up against weak units, then burn it to take out bosses or strong groups where our dice would be hopeless.

>>33972034
>>33972009
Sounds like you got it!

Also there are prerequisite scores for doing certain battlefield events. Right now you only need 50 to fight the boss, but in other battles I hope to change that.

>>33972063
How does our companion's roll interact with our own for determining combat?

>>33972141
She's an extra roll. Companions are like having an extra 'hand' grasping a weapon.

They're like that until they lose. I keep track of that, so there isn't much to worry about on your end.

>>33972172
Okay, so whatever they roll we get glued on our roll. Presumably if either one of us does terribly, we take some cursory damage even if we win the round or oneshot the fight then?

>>33972238
I wouldn't know, I'm just here for the story.

>>33972238
If either of you oneshot the fight, no damage is given to either of you.

Like I said, I should have put this in a pastebin before now. Maybe I'll simplify the rules for the future.

>>33972337
I'll point out that with the current system, there is no reason not to burn bonus to avoid damage. That just increases the number of updates until you reach the boss, and having full hp rather than fighting the boss 2 (or whatever) updates early is a deal I'd make every time.

>>33972337
Simple is best, I'd say

Swords clash and clack, several at the front of the camp have come over to join in the brawl.

"Ms Fritelli! Look! I've been working really hard since we last met!"
He waves his wooden sword around in a circle, throwing her off-guard momentarily.
"Yeah! We've been really training! Ms. Fritelli! Look!"
Soon they've all joined in a chorus of "Ms. Fritelli! Ms. Fritelli! Look! look!"

And you're sick of being ignored!

Rushing forward, sword and pistol at the ready, you swish and slash at the fuzzy menace. The slashing and shooting continues for what feels like a long time, until you look back.

And realize that you only knocked out half of the camp, particularly the half that wasn't very well-prepared for the fight.

"Yer right, Lass. These lads are more prepared for this than even the ones we found before."

"See Ms. Fritelli? I've-"

She doesn't let him finish, her rapier whips the air several times, causing the remainder of guys to puff into a cloud of fuzz and squeaks.

She laughs, "-have lots to learn, that's what you meant to say."

Continuing onward, you both arrive at a clearing with three knights, they've found a shady tree to sit under and..

They're... having a picnic?

"Lass, what is this?"
"They're not taking this seriously, that's what." There's an obvious grimace on her face.

"So how do you want to do this, go up and-"

"Nope!" He jumps up and charges forward, rapier in hand, "All is fair in love and war!"
"Har, you really do speak my language."

You and Fritelli spring into action, leaping over the vast distance between you and the knights.

There are two girls and a boy, one of them passes a teacup nonchalantly, the other is opening a basket full of tiny sandwiches, while the third is busy straightening the edges of the checkered cloth they're sitting on.

"SURPRISE!" Fritelli yells as her rapier cuts the space between them.
"CHOSE A BAD TIME FOR A BREAK, LADDY." You grin, you don't get to shout insults at your enemy as often as you would like.

Your pistol twirls and spins, releasing bolt after bolt of green bullet at the three surprised knights. Your cutlass goes in for a final strike.

When your assault is over, A green haired girl and a brown-haired boy have their armor explode off of them instantly, leaving them only their underwear.

The blonde who was passing around a teapot immediately jumps up as a pair of stockings explode off her legs.

"FRITELLI! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" she's flustered, the boy is lost in a confused daze, and the green haired girl has now wrapped the picnic sheet around herself and began sobbing.

"That'll teach em" you think to yourself.

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY FRITELLI! I HAD EVERYTHING ALL SET UP AND YOU WENT AND-"

Fritelli jabs her rapier into the ground,
"What do mean 'This isn't funny'?! Look at where you're doing it! Idiot! It's fair game! If you wanted a picni-"

You immediately tune out the increasing volume of chicken squabbling. You're not sure of where it's coming from, but it's as pleasant to your ears as that one time you were around to watch an improperly fastened galleon tear an entire dock in half. The sound of two mouthy chalkboards on its death throes slowly intensifies.

Oh, wait! Sandwiches.

"Heya Buddy, you gonna eat those?" You ask the brown-haired knight in his undies.
"W-well, not anymore." He says, his hair furrowing back as he grabs the basket and passes it to you.
"Har! Thanks!"
The green haired girl under the blanket only tightens her grip on the fabric.

The extremely high-pitched squabbling continues. You start on your second sandwich before deciding to ask an important question,

"So, Who are you lads?"
"Uh? Us? We're Knights of Galette."

"Ye have a name, right?"
"Oh, oh. you can call me Antonin Friand if you'd like. The one your friend is arguing with is my sister, but those two have always kind of been.. like this."
"Har, Jack Albator, I hope our next meeting is a bit more even matched than this." You take another bite.
"Um, s-sure. I guess."
"Come on, yer a knight, are you not? Wouldn't you love a fair match between us?"
"Y-yeah, I guess."

"Argh, this guy has no spine, I wonder if that comes from having that she-devil as a sister", you think to yourself, grabbing another sandwich from the basket.

You finish your third sandwich before the squabbling lowers in volume. Maybe you just eat really quickly and don't even know. Pulling at Fritelli's arm, you manage to drag her away from the argument.

>>33973556
I'd forgotten just how camp Dog Days 'combat' is. I didn't realize how much I'd missed it. I know the show's not quite like this, but it's in the same vein.

I need to go back and finished the series. I got sidetracked with other things and never go around to it.

>>33973556
"Okay Lass, we're done here, let's just keep going."
"GOOD! I HOPE YOU TWO ARE HAPPY!" The mouthy blonde she was arguing with spats at you two.

Fritelli makes a face at her and then joins you at your walking pace.

You both approach the solitary umbrella propped open in the middle of a grassy plane. Maids and servants swarm around it, delivering drinks and wafting a large, palm fan.

Fritelli's bad mood gradually lessens as you both walk away from the knights, but then quickly turns sour as you start to make out what the maids are busy serving.

"Oh no, This guy? I thought he was on assignment. When did he get back." She says, her teeth starting to visibly grit.

"What guy? Who is he?"

She starts to say something, but then stops herself. "Just follow my lead, he has a bit of an ego."

"Yar, no kidding." You begin to notice that he brought his own reclining chair out here to the battlefield. Between the maids mulling around him and the umbrella, he's treating it as if it's a good day to sleep and sunbathe. His well-maintained, oiled skin becomes visible as you both approach.

"If he were on my ship, the capt'n would have used him has an anchor years ago."
"Please let me do the talking" Fritelli says, stepping forward.

Before Fritelli can even speak, he starts to talk from his seemingly unconscious state.

"Oh, I thought I smelled mangy dog. Try not to get too close, though. It would take forever to get your fleas out of this mane." He runs his hand through his hair.

>"Yar, my fleas only jump a few feet."
>Nope, let Fritelli handle this
>OTHER?

>>33973859

Just shoot him.

>>33973859
Pet the shit out of him.
If anyone's gonna make Fritelli cranky and a bitch, it's gonna be us.

>>33973884

>>33973884
This.

>>33973859
>Just shoot him

Yeah nah, we're not gonna put up with this twat mouthing off.

>>33973937
"I hate cats."

>>33973937

>>33973859
Just unload into him doh ho ho ho

Be ready to duck though if he's fast and pulls fancy moves.

Though, we can use the fleas line when we win.

>>33973884
Do it.

>>33973937
It's not the fleas ye should be worry'n about.

>>33973937
Ideally nothing, but say how our fleas only jump a few feat once we defeat him

>BOOM! CALLBACK! Nailed it.

>>33973986

>>33973937
Nah, I think we should be dead fucking silent.

>>33973937
If you wanna fight, fight. Don't talk.

>>33973937

No. We said we'd let her do the talking.

We are not talking.

She can find no fault with our actions.

>Ya dinna say anything about not shooting him, lass.

>>33973958
This.

>>33973937
Does a dirty rotten premature attack give us much of an edge

>>33973937
Nah. Every time we talk we get interrupted anyway or are ignored by everyone. No sense in wasting time

>>33974068
It's the principle of the thing.

>>33974052
I still want to say the fleas line in a slightly insulted tone when we defeat this oily man.

>>33973964
Yeah, let's just not say anything, Fritelli said let her talk

>>33974068
Trying to decide

His current HP on his only item of clothing is 120 So if you want, I will take a 1d60 roll to lower that if you want.

Best of 3, of course. DC is 45 to hit. You have a score of 51 + (2 knights defeated*10 points each) = 71 going into this.

Anyone else feel like this is a trap?

>>33974162
Burn that bonus. No reason not to at this point.

Rolled 56

>>33974198
er, forgot the roll

Rolled 43

>>33974162
Rollan

>>33974198
Let's wait and see what our rolls are, first.

Rolled 50

>>33974162
Kill him dead

Rolled 23

>>33974162
Let's wait before we burn our score.

>>33974251
Why wait? Even if you roll perfectly, we're only doing 15 damage versus 120. The bonus will eat into his HP more.

>>33974198
I think we might have to do more work after he gets up, unless toasting his shorts is all we need to do in the battle.

>>33974227
I wonder how much of the bonus we can burn, as long as there is enough to divide by 2? I say we spend 64 points if we can and blast this fool

Rolled 10

>>33974162
Bang

>highest: 56

Nice job!

>writing!

So we're gonna plunder his maids right?

>>33974305
arrrrr

>>33974282
Actually, if we can add our whole score, yeah, let's just go ahead and burn some of it to get the most out of this surprise attack

>>33974282
I think this is a free roll before we actually take our first proper combat test, still a little hazy on what we are going to have to achieve over the course of the whole fight

Our first battle is going amazingly well

>>33974305
Yarrr, of course!

>>33974305
Aye, boyo

Remember using the bonus halves our roll

>>33974305
Yes!

>>33974321
His pants HP is 120, he is one guy, so in total you need to clear 120 combined if you make his DC

I set his to-hit DC at 45 because he is unaware, but normally it's at 65.

>>33974345
It halves our score, anon, not our rolls.

>>33974305
Yar, only a landlubber would think otherwise

>>33974360

okay, so this is an opportunity to pull his pant down to knee-height before combat begins, to make it easy for our roll to pull them about his ankles. Maybe use the bonus later when we have the harsher to hit requirement for our roll to eat into his HP? because as-is we've almost halved his health

>>33974360
So do we have 6 rounds of bonus use? 71/2/2/2/2/2/2 = 1.109375. And is bonus just a straight addition?

If so, burn it. This is almost ideal circumstances for it.

>>33974419
no, it halves our roll then adds itself. But here that's 51+28=79

>>33974455
Yeah, this

Sorry if I didn't make this clear beforehand, I think I'm going to scrap this system next battle, because as it stands, you're doing well enough against him to not have to worry about it.

>>33974419
Since it halves our roll, I think we're best served by using it on a shit roll, instead of a good one.

Let's keep our 56 and be happy.

>>33974455
No, it adds itself to our current score and halves itself. So we'd be doing an additional 71 hp damage, then our bonus would be 35.5.

Ripping off half his hp is as good as we're ever going to get.

>>33974502
probably for the best. Use it if we roll badly and halving the roll is irrelevant.

>>33974508
No, you're wrong. See word of god here >33974508

it halves our roll, so we use it if we get a shit one.

>>33974455
>>33974491
>>33974502
Oooooh, okay. Yeah, save it for bad rolls.

Honestly, Announcer, once you make that pastebin to avoid confusion, as long as you post it at the start of threads, this system isn't that bad now that I'm seeing it more.

Give it another thread before scrapping it, I think.

>>33974491

Ok, then I misunderstood >>33971756. I thought you meant >>33974508 would happen.

>>33974545
It's just kind of convoluted, it needs a bit more work.

>>33974546
I'll clarify it better in the pastebin

>continuing to write

>>33974585
A bit more, sure, but I don't think it needs to be completely scrapped. I like the idea of having a bonus for doing well that persists, for example.

Makes /tg/'s rather fickle dice less of a frustration.

>>33974585
So does score get halved after every use as well?

>>33974491
it actually seems kind of interesting. I can see some tactical utility in the bonus for softening shit rolls in a selective manner, and spending less of it if we just need to finish off a tougher enemy versus all of it to try and oneshot something tough that still has a lot of health.

>>33974621
what? If you choose to use up bonus points, you halve whatever your rolled score was, then add however many points you like to it. So, if we rolled snake eyes, we could instead spend 51 bonus points plus (our roll / 2)=1 to get a total score of 52

>>33974656
This >>33971756 seems to be saying the bonus score gets reduced after every use. I still can't find where he said the roll would be halved as well.

You know how they handle guys like these on the high seas, but Fritelli told you to let her handle it.
At the same time, are you really going to let him talk that way to her?

You laugh slightly to yourself, draw, spin, and fire
He, without making any other motions on his body, simply raises his hand and catches it between his index finger and his thumb.

Wow.

Except, suddenly, his pants start to tear and rip in several places on his legs. You suppose this must be a side effect of the bullet touching his body in the first place.
He sighs, swings his legs to the other side of his reclining chair, and stands up, waving the maids away.

"Sorry Ladies, I got to deal with this right now, but hey, I'll catch you cute kittens later." He says in the most obviously fake deep voice you have ever heard.

The maids giggle slightly, some of their hair is twitching, and though you have the urge to touch the twitching masses on their scalps, you resist the urge, or at least convince yourself that you'll get to it later.

>>33974656
>>33974677
I think we just got confused because Announcer left out a key sentence or something explaining more clearly how the score being used works.

Once we have a pastebin that clearly explains it, then we should be fine.

>>33974677
"our score" means what our diceroll is. This is how I assumed it here >>33974455
and this was stated to be correct by the QM here >>33974491

so, you're wrong. Word of god.

>>33974737
So the bonus never gets decreased?

>>33974737
>>33974712
Yeah, that's the problem

My apologies

>>33974691
Alright, let's waste this joker.

>>33974754
Then we really should've spent more time killing the easy guys. Having a huge bonus is much better if it never gets decreased.

>>33974752
we SPEND the bonus

it's like money, but for hurting people

it goes away when you spend it

>>33974780
pretty sure if you use bonus points on a roll, they get burned up for good. Though that makes it more important to farm them than less, since having more means we can compensate for more shitty rolls whereas if we had only very few and got two crap rounds we might be hosed.

>>33974826
That's even more slanted to building up as big of a bonus as possible.

>>33974873
I think that's the point. It encourages us to go around attacking the little troops before we go after the bosses, and makes it a matter of balancing grind for easier bossfights against getting to them quickly but potentially coming to more harm.

>>33974904
And that's why I like this system's idea. It needs some fine-tuning, I think, but it's definitely a step in the right direction I think.

>>33974904
That's a bad balancing point. There is rationally no reason to ever not grind as much as possible. Even if you put in time limits, that just gives you a grind cap rather than an incentive to fight the boss with less.

Not liking it the more I hear about it.

>>33974958
The reason not to grind is to avoid spending forever in the boring easy fights and get to actual bossfights and story segments. You know, the fun parts.

>>33975018
We can also just roll shittily, and get injured from shitfights.

>>33975018
And that's a terrible balance point. Because people find succeeding fun most of the time, and grinding makes success more likely when it counts, so you do the boring shitfights even if they're not fun.

He hits his chair with the heel of his foot, it flips and twists sevearl times in the air as he catches it with one hand and hands it to a maid, the umbrella is plucked from the ground and handed off as well.

"We're not really in the mood to hang around, so can we get to this Axe-"

"Don't say my name just yet! I haven't introduced myself to this fellow."
Fritelli buries her face in her palms.

He stretches his arms over his head, extends the length of his shoulders, and lets the sunlight glisten off the oiled surface of his body.

"I." He says, letting his shoulders slump slightly for effect. "Am Axel D'Lyon. One of the highly revered knights of the invincible Galette-"

He doesn't get to finish. Fritelli has already pushed an attack on him. You quickly follow behind.
Immediately, he catches her rapier and goes in for a punching attack. Both of you jump out of the way to avoid harm.

"You two aren't very good at playing along. Where is your sense of drama?"

Don't you go and fucking jinx it.

Although Fritelli isn't one of the ones we might have to sleep with. That's Keiko or Atsuko.

We'd be doing it because we want to.

Fritelli is the first on the attack, her rapier whishes and swishes in all directions around his form, each one coming only a hair close to each section of his body. Every time he is able to gracefully weave and dodge his body out of the way.

Until he bores of his, and returns the favor with a punch, instantly, her coat shatters, and she reels backwards.

"Now it's your turn, new guy."

Like he even needed to invite you.

"Har, though I must warn you,"

Draw, spin, fire

"It's not the fleas ye should be worry'n about."

Your cutlass drags and crosses each section of the bullet until it splits into no less than a dozen fragments, each one homing right in on the muscled pretty boy. He grits his teeth as he starts catching each fragment, one by one in the air.

Soon, all rows of his fingers, including his teeth, have fragments of the green projectile in them.

"Looks like you're not much for show, new gu-"

Except that one fragment that you intentionally delayed getting to him, he seemed to forget about that one.
It crosses directly across his heart region, his face turns into a stone glare.
Just in time for you to rush in and start slashing with your cutlass.

The sword whistles and clinks, and slashes and cuts, every which way across his body.

"Erk!" Is all he can manage before his pants explode off his body. Revealing that he was wearing a pair of.
A pair of.. Something. A jet-black thong that you're genuinely amazed a man who would consider himself dignified would seriously wear.

He looks bemused for a moment, before he looks down, and emits a girly squeak.

"Har, if ye worried about the fleas, you can rest easy, mine only jump a few feet or so."

Suddenly, he starts scratching his scalp with one hand, and then with both hands. His face turns flush red as he storms off toward the other side of the battlefield. A maid quickly intercepts him and throws a blanket over his exposed flesh.

>YOU WON!

He knew where he was gonna be, and with the risk of getting his clothes blown off...why did he wear that?

>>33976013
Arrogance, anon. It's called arrogance.

>>33976013
Probably the same reason nobody has taken us seriously and those others were having a picnic. Overconfidence

>>33976023
But... Why wear a thong in the first place?

>>33976070
Because he's fabulous.

>>33976013
Oh and don't forget had the stupid audacity to only wear pants into battle, thus limiting his ability to take damage.

>>33976070
Because apparently he's one of those oiled up bodybuilders that loves to show off.

This is an animu quest, which means oiled up bodybuilders wear those creepy thongs.

"What you said about fleas, you didn't really mean that, did you?" Fritelli says, as she picks her rapier back up.
"I would rath'r have fleas in my hair than dangling pieces of loose flesh."

"Loose flesh? what are you-"

"Oi, good hit on him you two."
You both turn to see where the new voice is coming from,
It's the two knights from earlier, they seem to be out of their armor and into their own clothes. Except the blonde one, she still seems to be in a huff, standing behind the other two looking flustered and irritated.

"Oh? you three back for another go?" Fritelli raises her sword to the ready.

"The battle's over. Final score is 283 to 271. In our favor."
The green-haired knight speaks up, "Though, most of your side was scored in the last few minutes of the battle, you two did some seriously impressive work!"

You put on a proud grin, "Aye, it was nothing. Though your lads on the front lines put up a fair fight."
"Oh did you notice? we've been training them extra hard for this battle. We're worried that when you summon your hero, it's going to be a series of consecutive losses." She laughs at this, for some reason.
"Um" Fritelli starts to speak,

The blonde one at the back speaks up and interrupts her, "And what is your name by any chance?"
"Jack Albator, at your service. And you?"
"Odette, Odette Friand." Right, she's Antonin's sister.

The brown-haired Antonin takes this time to speak up,
"So who are you, anyway? Everyone knows who Fritelli is, but you're a new face around here."
