<Do you submit?>
*She raised her sword, the edge of the blade touching his chin.*

“HA!!!... never...unless... you know... I am injured greatly” *finishes drawing symbol and the air crackles. Hail and lightning start coming down at both of us, I start casting again.

-
“Submit and I fail...my first real fight... ever” *shards of hail surrounds us and hurt both of us... I was going to avoid it, but then you kicked me
-
<Submit and the test is over.> *She was pelted by hail, denting her head but not seeming to cause her any pain. She held her arms out to cover him.* <The test is not about winning, it is about how stupidly you fight.>
-
“So if I submit I win

Edited by Skatch142: 1/4/2018 3:17:14 AM<If you submit, it ends. It is not about winning.> “What she means is that you aren’t expected to win. Sure, it’s possible, but that isn’t what this is about. What this is about is whether the way you fight is going to make everyone angry at you or not. It’s not a test to see what you know, it’s a test to see if you’ll cause any problems.”

“Fine I submit” To be honest I thought I was supposed to win the battle, I didn’t know it was testing my fighting style

“Most don’t realize that. We should probably start telling newbies that beforehand. Congrats though, you passed.” <Congratulations.> *Alice crouched down, tending to his wounds.* <You were slow to draw your sword, and did not use it to fight. That is quite unwise.> [spoiler]You passed, but there seem to be a few “compatibility issues.” We don’t use specific types of damage like elemental damage, usually. If it’s a gun it puts holes in people. If it’s a laser I burns and/or also puts holes in people. If it’s fire it burns people. Though it works in D&D, using a spell with weaponized rainbows that do elemental damage are hard to react to, because it’s not clear what happens when you get hit. For attacks like that, I suggest that you make it more specific, and maybe squish it down into a single blast rather than seven. I will say that I appreciate the chanting and such before instantaneous attacks. People can get quite angry if they aren’t given a chance to dodge. Though the attacks such as lightning are impossible to dodge once fired, it’s good that you thought to give it a ‘charge up’ time.[/spoiler]

“Thanks” *lysanther, unsure what to do, does a half bow to the android and her creator. “Also when fighting with my sword I prefer to teleport behind the enemy’s and then attack, which I was trying to cast a teleport spell before you kicked me.” [spoiler]i just won’t use prismatic spray then. I’ll try use more basic spells so people understand. Thanks for the feedback, I will continue the thing where it takes time to cast spells. [/spoiler]

“That sounds like a good tactic, just not when your enemy already has their sword to your chin.” *Alice was using a first aid kit she had under her trench coat to patch up his wounds. From the looks of it, nothing had been labeled, but had instead been wrapped in tape with different textures.* [spoiler]Happy to help. You won’t always need to charge up spells though. Spells that don’t directly effect an enemy such as summoning spells could (or at least should be able to) be done instantly without issue.[/spoiler]

“Thanks for the healing. Uhm your arm, will it be ok.... like I did hurt it.... i read In a book once...nevermind. Anyways, what was that blue blood, I thought you where a android. Also is there any isolated mountain around here so I can put up my tower up (see bio portable tower, I’ll write more about it)” [spoiler]most summoning spells take the most time to cast [/spoiler]

<I can not feel pain. That blue fluid is not blood, it is a fluidic A.I. which serves the same purpose as a brain.> “Why put her brain in an exposed part of her body like a head? Sure, if you cut it off then she’ll be ‘blinded,’ but at least she will still survive.” *He crouched down by her tail and pulled out a jar. He took out a knife and began to coax the fluid off of the blades of grass with it.* “I’d prefer to not have her permanently lose some of her memories, plus this stuff is extremely hard to create. So, I have to gather as much as I can after every fight. If you ever see a small cylinder of this stuff somewhere and pieces of broken machinery nearby, please bring it to me.” [spoiler]Well, assuming what your summoning isn’t some giant super powered creature, D&D rules don’t really apply here when it comes to magic.[/spoiler]
-
“Ok Then..... any good mountains around here for dramatic effects, with no base is built on.” [spoiler]i just like Following d&d rules because I am use to them, but I guess I don’t always have to follow them [/spoiler]
-
“Well, the Dojo isn’t on the only mountain here.” *He said, motioning to the mountainous landscape around them.* “Basically anywhere.”
-
“Thank you both. Do you have anything else that you need me to do?” *bows to the android and her maker, a little awkwardly because he never really bows to anyone
