As the Ryokai party crosses the veridian fields towards High Alps, the night blanketing above their heads, a guttural groan could be heard from between the valleys.
(Posting Order for Ryokai party: None.)
Player 1
"Guys, this doesn't feel right," Aspher slowed his steps to fall back, away from the frontline.
Player 2
The buxom redhead hissed as she whipped her head to glare at the co-leader. Her footsteps were resolute and unfaltering. Sneering, Aveley turned back to keep her focus, "Keep going."
Player 3
"That's right. We need to get to the peak before sun up. The trolls hide away at dawn, and it's too dangerous to camp there during the day," reasoned Jean. He kept his eyes straight forward.

While the party was arguing amongst themselves, their voices roused the attention of the valley pass terror. The monster leapt from behind a mound of ice and blocked the party's way pass with its menacing stature. Grey skin, with darker mane outlining its head and spine, the malformed werewolf was poised for an attack.

Aspher
"I TOLD YOU!" The Sniper spat at his leader, and, without wasting another breath, flipped back and fired at the beast with his first strike advantage. "Plasma Shot!"
Jean
He readied himself with his weight pivoted on both feet. "Hero's Will!" First, he would need to buff up his party members. It wouldn't do if everyone went down. 'Damn, if only our Healer didn't leave the party,' the blonde man cursed under his breath. "Now's not the time to be right! Stay alive, everyone!"
Avaley
"Shut up, shortie!" Her green eyes were narrowed into angry slits, "I'll kick his ass first, then kick yours!" Swinging her hammer, she charged in at the werewolf. It didn't matter if she couldn't use a skill - her MP couldn't hold a candle to this legendary weapon she obtained from the last quest anyway!

The beast opened its wide maws and twisted its neck to grab a chunk off the red-haired girl.

Aspher
He pulled the trigger and fired a torrent of bullets before he could think through the red haze that was his rage. "That's my girlfriend, stupid dog!"
As you can see, it's a posting order and how combat looks like. I show only the basic info everyone would need to know how the battle is going. Also, it's 5 in the morning. Excuse me for my crap writing. The numbers won't make sense because this is just an example.
Oh, and, if you form parties, you can name it. In this example, they're team "Ryokai". It means "Understood", in case anyone is curious. There is a party leader, who will get more gold cowrie than anyone else when they slay a boss, but that's the only perk.
