Tiny attempts to revive the Warriors Adventure Game

"Let's give it a shot then," Al meows, raising his voice with ears flattening back as another monster roars past.

A series of skill checks will be made. The first two are not essential to pass, but will give both bonuses and/or penalties to the next check.

The roar of monsters makes it hard to concentrate... Focus Checks of either 4 or 7 will help, though.

The roar is too much for Leafheart. The growls cut into her focus like sharp claws. No matter how hard she tries, focusing won't help her in her next check.

(I thought I remembered how to play this but tbh I've kind of forgotten how to focus check. If this is wrong please tell me and I'll correct it so I know for next time . If I got it right Fern is an awful character for this part of the quest )

Fernwhisker tried to focus.

[Spirit 1 + Focus 0= 1]

Icefeather also attempted to focus. However, she failed miserably. (Spirit: 2)(Focus:0) (Check: 2)

Fernwhisker tried to listen, but failed.
(1+1=2)

(I really should've picked Intelligence/Strength skills but I didn't know it at the time I think Fernwhisker is the one who got the Intelligence and not me!)

(lol shenanigans everywhere)

Poor Fernwhisker, too. She can't even listen to everything going on! In fact, she gets a -1 penalty to the next and final check.

Icefeather has an easier time listening, and is able to see a rough pattern. No bonuses are gained, but a penalty is avoided.

Yet again, a failure... Leafheart gets a -1 penalty to the next check.

Flarefur can make out a rough pattern from the monsters' noises. Her next check is unaffected.

Al twitches his ears, using a spirit chip to pass the check with no penalty.

Now that a pattern is known, time to make a Pounce Check, based on intelligence. The bonus from the first check and the penalty from the second both apply here. Target numbers: 4 and 7.

Al suddenly springs forward, launching himself towards the other side with all his might. His bonus from the first check gives him a +1 to his total and he spends an intelligence chip, but even then, one of the monsters steps on his tail. He yowls in pain and dashes to safety, although his tail tip seems crooked. He's taken 2 chips of damage, but he's otherwise fine.

Icefeather makes it halfway across before a monster roars past. Its paws dig into the dirt to stop, but the momentum causes it to bump into Icefeather, dealing 2 chips of damage.

Despite the complicated math, Leafheart can't avoid Icefeather's fate. As she tries to dodge a passing monster, it slows down but swats her aside, dealing two chips of damage.

Flarefur takes a breath, before lunging across the field. (Int. 1 + Pounce 0 = 2 + Int. Chip 2 = 4)

Flarefur's gives a small cry of alarm as it shoved her aside.

(Okay, here's Breezy's Chips 101 tutorial!

Basically, chips are both your health and stuff you spend to get better results. To put it more simply, they're your energy. Each type of chip is determined by your ability scores. For example, if Exampleclaw had a Strength score of two, he would have 2 Strength chips. You can spend a chip on its respective kind of check (such as a strength chip on a Climb check) or use the conversion method you mentioned. Either way, this boosts your base score.

Chips can be refreshed at certain points, but if you spend a chip, it's gone until the next refresh, so be careful!

If you take damage and lose chips that way, things are different. You choose which chips you wish to lose, but they can't be regained in a refresh. They have to be healed through time or a Medicine/Herb Lore knack.)

Al had to agree with Icefeather. That really, really hurt. He looked back at his now-crooked tail before checking to see if everyone else was alright.
