Aster

After getting confirmation about shared rooms, Aster took a deep breath, and readied herself to do something that was both uncomfortable and, in her mind, necessary. Standing as tall as she could, she called out over the sounds of the inn "Umm. Everyone who was together for the dungeon today, please, if you would just lend me a moment of your time, I'd like to talk about something important!" She moved a bit closer to a table, where ideally they could all converse on equal terms.

Once everyone who was going to gather, had, she said hesitantly "So... I think we did something amazing today. We, as a team, beat foes that could have killed any of us. That's incredible to me. I don't know about the rest of you, but back in the real world, I'm not this good at... much of anything. Today I was able to use talents I didn't even know about to help protect others, and I had my back covered at the same time. This is supposed to be a death game, but with everyone's help, it... wasn't. We all survived, we grew as people and as a team, and we gained some awesome loot!"

She was growing steadily more confident as she spoke. "What I'm saying is, I think we all make a great team." She looked to each of the team members in turn.

"Dirk, you're one of the bravest people I've met, and you keep the whole team safe. Without you, I'd be all alone on the front lines. There's no one I'd rather have watching my back."

"Reylan, you're a fantastic leader, and your strategies allowed us to survive encounters that should have been much more difficult than they were."

"Dubstepp, I'm not the sort of person who laughs at everything that seems funny to me, but your sense of comedic timing, and the way you keep everyone's spirits lifted, that's a real gift, and it keeps all of us a bit more sane in this crazy world."

"Karma, you literally keep us alive out there. Knowing that I have you there to heal me if I go to far is a lot of what keeps me fighting. You're vitally needed."

"Alisea... you're a pretty great magess, and you're also the person who first took the effort to be my friend, when I myself wasn't willing to make the first step. You're the best friend I have in this game, and it's been an honor, and a lot of fun fighting alongside you."

She looked out at those assembled. "Everyone... I think we make a great team. I think we could be more, though. If everyone is in agreement, I'd like to suggest that we form a guild. I don't have any idea of a name, or positions, or any of that, but I think that it's the next step, and if you're willing, I'd like to take it."

With that, she blushed deeply, then folded her hands in her lap, looking down and away from everyone else.

NaNoWriMo Discussion

So, advice, please! I have a female character masquerading as a male. She's also very outspoken about my main character, a captain of a ship, being incompetent. Naval code means she should be flogged if she says something too harsh against the leader. Do I go through with it?

Pros: Difficult scene that will challenge MC's morality.
Will out female character as female, something that I need a way to do
Will show that bad things really do happen at sea
Will build conflict

Cons: I'm concerned it might be too much. I've had violence, but this'll be brutality, not fighting for one's life.
I don't want to give the wrong idea with outing the female character. I'm concerned that this might.

That's my thinking, at least! Thoughts?

@ZB1996Pantsing is incredible. I've been actively trying to force my story to stay in a certain path, but it just... won't.

NaNoWriMo Discussion

@NarilI have a character I meant to kill off, but he's really depressed now and I don't know if death is the right path for him.

NaNoWriMo Discussion

@KeyguypersonSame thing here. I have one female character, and I don't want her to end up with my main character, because that's overdone and bs. But their dialogue is too good!

Aster

Health: 1,000/1,000
Mana: 25/100

Staying focused in battle was a good sight harder than Aster had expected. By a long shot, actually. So much was going on all at once; from her teammates yelling orders or witty insults back and forth, to giant bunnies appearing, to a small pack of wolves assaulting the little team. It was enough that she almost wished she could disable the audio function. The whole 'wolves as enemies' thing was kind of rubbing her wrong, too. She had a dog back home, and it didn't feel right to be killing canines. Her dog, a corgi, didn't give off the same sense of intimidation as wolves did, but it was still pretty similar, right?

As difficult as figuring out the right way to attack might be, other things were easier. Once she chose a target, she was quite capable at keeping focused on it. That's what she did now, nodding once to Dirk to warn him of her forthcoming onslaught, then leaping forward to deliver an overhead blow to Wolf 4. She then turned to wolves 5 and 6, throwing herself into another flurry of triple strikes with abandon, body launching forward towards the snarling beasts.

In the edge of her vision, Aster saw her mana bar, something she'd never paid much attention to due to her focus on physical combat, blink urgently to notify her that she didn't have enough mana to execute the action. Too late. She had already thrown herself bodily forward, trusting the ability to catch her and take hold of her instincts. It didn't. She hit the ground hard, on one shoulder, skidding slightly from her impressive momentum. she somehow kept tenuous hold of her katana, though her arm felt a bit numb from the hard landing. She looked up as the wolves closed in, and swung the weapon desperately towards them.

Summary: Strikes wolf 4 with basic strikes
Attacks wolved 5 and 6, but fails to activate ability and lands prone
Swings from prone position at wolves 5 and 6.
Is embarrassed at failure.

@SantosGabriel77Sorry to lose you, but I totally understand. Good luck elsewhere!

@KallethI like the idea of gangs being a big deal, especially since a lot of folks seem to have ties to shady business based on their profiles. Depending on what others think, we can go from there. I've got a serial killer plot that would work well with that actually, having heroes work beneath the law to fix a problem that affects them.

Mistborn Era 2

@KallethHmm. I don't want it to be dead, certainly, but evidence suggests it might be. Then again, I've never run one of these before, so I'm weak on the details of making it get going.

As to BOM: RIGHT?!?
