SURVIVAL / SEARCH & DESTROY
Brightwing Lane
Mission Creator: Ciel

Rolling Required? N
Variant Rules:

THESE ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR ONCE. So read them, because they could potentially disqualify you.

• This mission will take place entirely within the game Terraria (Desktop Version). The process is listed below.
• You will create a Terraria character based on your Li character. Accuraacy is optional but appreciated.
• Your goal is to defeat all bosses up to and including the Wall of Flesh. That means that once you summon a boss, you need to either defeat it or suffer a death. Go in prepared!
• Each RPer is only allowed up to 3 boss deaths. This means that once you engage a boss, you'rer generally going to need to defeat it to avoid suffering a death.
• If you want to play multiple characters, you can. However, you will be expected to find the time to actually roleplay them, either through emotes or in-game.
• It is mandatory to attempt some level of RP while we play, generally between combat. The command for emotes is /me (text), though just writing normally with quotes is fine.
• You may not bring any items from any other worlds. Your character must be fresh.
• Characters that do not ICly know magic may not use wands, tomes or magic guns.
• Characters that do not ICly use guns may not use any gun or launcher weapon.
• We will decide play times once we have a good idea of when everyone is available. You may not miss more than 2 sessions without being disqualified unless there's an emergency. Please post your timezone and any times/days you probably won't be available when signing up, else I won't be able to consider you.

World Details:

• The world will be Large Sized.
• There will not be expert mode. The risk of accidentally dying is enough.
• You can use any character mode you want, though softcore is recommended.
• Rushing or hogging all the upgrades for yourself is likely to result in death. It's strongly encouraged that you work as a team.
• The guide will ICly help characters with things that don't necessarily make sense for them to be able to accomplish on their own, such as say crafting a bed or house. Ciel can ICly make him do things.

Rank Required: None
Adventurer Slots: (This is not first come first serve!)

• Arle / Raffina / Valorie

I'll be monitoring things to make sure someone can get you out if necessary, of course."

(I live on  UTC: 06:00 Central Time, And im awful at viddya games, this'll be grand)

[Rina]

"....Oh. So that old man happened to apply? If he does anything to her..."

[Schezo signs up on account of keeping Satan the heck away from Arle.]

(As a note, I live in UTC-7 or Pacific Standard Time. Let's hope I don't screw things up even though I know how to play Terraria pretty alright.)

[TheSpatialWeeg]

No worries, Schezo, Rulue's going to help you and put nine restraining orders on Satan.

(Yeah, I bit the bullet. =w= I'm UTC -3.
Monday and Friday I'm usually home 3~5 PM, whilst Tuesday to Thursday I'm home 6:20 PM. Weekends are usually fine.)

[Mari]

Goodness. The entire ARS trio plus Satan? Well I strongly doubt we're going to get a better group than this. Also, I have no clue how to build houses for the most part. We're all in for a struggle.

ALRIGHT. In order to actully join the game you guys are going to need me on Steam, pretty sure. I think that leaves Rina as the only one who doesn't already? Go ahead and add me here: steamcommunity.com/id/Anonipus/

Suggested Days
With this current layout, I think it would be most expedient if we did things either every other day or every day. Whichever you guys prefer.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Sounds good to me.

Day 1 results!

....Accidental death limit was a disaster. Honestly, I think the premise of that was just flawed from the beginning since this is really a game that's designed with the expectation that you will die sometimes. As a replacement, I'm just going to remove the accidental death penalty entirely and it will be boss deaths that serve as the potential failure state. Additionally, boss deaths won't count if the rest of your party defeats the boss. There are 6 bosses and you're only allowed to wipe 3 times. Seems plenty hard enough as it is.

We made good progress. We went from nothing to nooot quite ready to face bosses. Our main issue is our squishiness right now and poor chest drops in terms of weapons. I think I'm the only one with a good weapon drop right now. But with another good session, there's a goo chance we'll be ready to smack one of the many bosses!

Next session date: Thursday

[Mari]

So our first day we got ...REALLY unlucky. Really poor health drops. Struggling to explore because of the accidental death penalty making us hesitant to play the game as it was intended to be played. Dumb platinum drops. Nobody had a decent pickaxe for progression purposes. Only one person got a good weapon drop. No one has armor. Basically, our weapons are the only thing giving us an edge against bosses right now. So to compensate, I took the liberty of doing some extra mining offline. When we play in about 3 hours from now, everyone will get a complete set of armor by me. Unfortunately, I'm only human and couldn't get 4 of the same armor type, but even the weakest one (copper) is better than the wooden stuff some of us had before.

Everyone else will get one of the three health upgrades I found. (I will not be taking one.)

You might find some potions or a modest accessory hidden in one of your chests. Basically, this is my way of saying sorry for making such a dumb rule. Deaths can still be RP'd out as injuries for immersion's sake.

Due to some complications and poor timing with some roleplay related stuff and the fact that killing bosses is just a step away from us at this point, there will be no game on Saturday. I don't want to start bosses while Luigi is too busy to attend.

That being said though, if Rina and Schezo want to play anyway on saturday I'd be happy to start up the game and do some more social stuff, bring everyone closer to equality in terms of armor/weapons. Maybe explore a jungle if you're feeling brave. Rina PolarStarQuote I'd be taking that opportunity to introduce Valorie if we did. The only thing I'd request is that we abstain from bosses like we have been.

In other news, I am now aware of Skeletron/Queen Bee's location, the two bosses that are often most difficult to find. This means that I can guide people to them as we get braver.

[Mari]

Today is for catchup. Stay tuned for a post announcing the next group session. It's not 100% clear when that's happening right now. Maybe monday, maybe tuesday.

[Mari]

We're on for Monday! That's today. Unfortunately, bosses decided to show up yesterday, but we'll be refighting them so no worries! Considering everyone but Schezo basically died both times it's probably for the best that nobody questions my choice to not count bosses from that day. ICly of course it happened, but y'know. For mission completion purposes we'll be fighting them again, this time by choice.

[Mari]

Next session is on Thursday~! 3 bosses down, 3 to go!

[Mari]

Next session is today! We can easily finish the mission today if we try.

[Mari]

That didn't work out. Luigi turned out to be unavailable and Rina didn't happen to be on. vwv I'll try again tomorrow, since monday is a nope day for me.

[Mari]

We won! Thanks for coming guys. We had some extreme highs and lows there. I know Rina is interested in expert mode and Luigi isn't. Quote, get back to me about that and I'll think about new mission sign ups later!
