Dang.

I know. At this point I'm just trying to think up beginning-level things for us to do. Maybe some sort of early-leveled caves where the reward is a stash of bits, with easily-solved puzzles, and such.

Well, since we all start off with 0, and most likely no food...
we're going to have to come up with something pre-stage 3... or you could come up with enemies that a group of stage 2's could handle... and possibly offer a re-roll at stage 2 if your HP is 2. Anyways, I'm sure you can figure something out for these initial stages, and, just as well, you should, the most important part of a game (text-based or no) is arguably the very beginning, where you're introduced to everything.

Alright, then. So, we'll have to basically wait until we're stage 2 to get into some actual fighting.
Now... how do we get bits without fighting? Do we just find them lying around?

Heh, alright, alright. As I've implied, it's your RP. BUT... this is an RP where leveling up = evolving, so, more or less, we should have a means of gaining stat exp at least until we can do something in a fight... then we can have our tutorial boss. That is, unless HP doesn't grow as Vitality does, in which case, I'd rather we hold off until we're at stage 2.

I started talking Alan's ear off as I followed him back to the clearing where we met everyone else, and, while I thought he'd be annoyed by my incessant chatter, he was somehow intrigued... at least, as far as I could tell. The kid didn't say a single word to me, and once we got back, there seemed to be one more creature than there was child. This one was even stranger than the other two... of course, I didn't really have room to talk, given my own appearance, however, at the risk of sounding rude, I ask the strange, fanged thing "Who... or what are you, exactly?" The other two kids had their own creatures, similar to myself, they were slime, or slug-like in appearance and physical properties, however, the other two kids at least spoke. Alan was stricken even more mute by the two unknown kids, let alone the other strange creature. Oddly, one of the kids was wearing his creature as if it were a scarf, while the other one, more specifically, the girl, was holding the thing close to her chest as if the creature was a precious baby, rather than some odd thing that had some sort of attachment to her. So, I guess I should be a little happier about this, I mean, I finally found other forms of life in this strange place, and I honestly hope that this fourth creature isn't hostile. I then remember that I haven't actually introduced myself to any of the others, but, given the situation, I supposed that could wait until a little later, at least.

If we can't beat anything... how are we supposed to get any sort of exp? I mean, how many RPGs make their lowest-level enemy stronger than a level 1 hero? Plus, you could make it just as, if not even weaker than, us at this point. Heck, he could be a complete joke enemy, just to get us acquainted with the basics of a fight. Heck, they could even be a recurring joke character whenever we need to test a new technique out (as in a new thing entirely, such as weapons, and then having multiple skills... ect), basically, a tutorial boss... just a note, for the future. I'm not angry, it'll just be a little more difficult to post for a bit.

Anyways, I'll try to find that stranger, and possibly have Jason interact with them... remember, Alan's shy to the point of being a mute around strangers.

Hey, Tobi, just for the sake of having something happen, would you mind having a simple, easy battle happening after my post? I'm sure you'd like to try out the battle mechanics, and I'm having trouble continuing without anything happening, so, maybe this will help motivate me, and possibly even you.

Is it... my turn to post?

Onward Unto Dusk [Pokemon, Medieval]

After wading through the clingy groups of merchants both legitimate, and otherwise, I finally find the place. It was a little bit shady given that he seemed to deal business in an alleyway, and away from the market, but I would know if he was trying to sell me garbage anyways. So, this is the place, huh? The place that Nihonto suggested I get my medicine from. Figures he'd know this guy... ah, well, I'm sure I can figure out his scam, that is, if he is scamming me. I think as I head into the place and tap on Johan's shoulder to get his attention. "Ah, a customer. So, what is it, wifey succumbing to poison? A horrible burn from a campfire? Or are you just simply trying to heal from getting beaten up by the local guards?" I shake my head, and explain "I'm simply here to gather medicinal supplies for an adventure. Nihon-" I was cut off by him, and he shouted "You know Nihonto!? Right, I'm guessing he sent you here. I'm assuming you're traveling with him, right?" I simply nod, and he asks "So, how many are in your adventuring 'party'?" I respond with "Three," and he doesn't even hesitate to grab three somewhat large boxes labeled 'Medical Kit' on the front. He then asks "So, how much did he give you for this?" I hold out the money, and he laughs, asking "Does he really think my prices are that high?" I decide against laughing with him, and open one of the boxes as he takes the 'appropriate' amount of cash. Everything seemed to be in order, the bluish, bitter-tasting Rawst berry mixture, made to cure burns and, for obvious reasons was left out of one of the boxes, as well as a wide variety of other mixtures, all of which were as advertized, thankfully. Odd, though was the fact that he operated from here, and not elsewhere if he had such legitimate goods... perhaps, given the hood, and the fact that I still couldn't get a good look at his face, he simply didn't like the noise and general busyness of the market. I then left, knowing that the goods were legitimate, and enough to most likely last us on our journey, and, I had to wade through the merchants, lying as I told them that I didn't have any money to spend, and finally making it back to the castle, where Frey and Nihonto were already waiting for me. I set the boxes down, and specifically gave the box without the burn curative to Nihonto, saying "Your contact is a very strange pokemon... oh, and I couldn't find any sort of quality weapons for either myself or Frey while I was there, sorry," I then add "The only weapon they were selling, for some reason, was a poorly-made decorative spear, and it would have cost me all of the money, which reminds me..." I then hand Nihonto all of the gold that I still had left, even accidentally giving him my own few coins as I did so.
