[log='Background Story']
"Aren't dreams fascinating entities? They are the only places where we are genuinely in the presence. Indeed... the past and the future don't exist in dreams. One minute you are minding your quotidian business - lying on your bed for exemple - then the next minute, you are here. Don't you agree?"
The man's rant draws your attention. You looked at him, observing. He resembles somebody you know, but you can't remember who. Who don't care about it at all for that matters. His words make you realize you are in an unfamiliar place. You seem to develop a funny habit of being taken to random places.
You ask the man who he is, if he can take you home, what this place is, and what he wants to do with you.
The man simply smiles at you. Then he tells you the name of this palace. About the other questions, he invites you to ask the Master directly. He shows you to a door on his left. At that time, you become aware of the endless corridor where you are in. Afterwards, he returns to his desk next to the door, and sleeps. You leave the man and go through the door.
You enter an immense hall where a lots of people are gathering around a large figure. As you approach, you hear it tells the story of how and why Master builds this place, his research and his findings...
Afterwards, it looks at the crowded and points to a large pit of clay. It asks us to prove ourselves, in return for the stories. Most of us remain still, a few adventurous ones move forwards. As they pick up a handful of clay, it begins to change shape. Small characters are made, each and every one of them are unique. And then, the clay pit itself begins to change shape. High regions become mountains and hills. Low regions become lakes and plains. As people put their character into the landscape, they come to life. You can see through your characters eyes, move its hands as if they are your own. The common and strangeness stunt you for a moment.
The strange thing begins to speak again, it explains the rules and rewards to you , then it points towards the lobby for those who seek rest, discussion or alliance.
Thus, the game commences... [/log]

[color=#a9a9a9]-Edited- the game mechanism is still in effect in stage4. It would be a shame if an unfortunate accident happened to our heroes who have made it this far, for example: a stab in the back.
-Edited- in stage4, each living character has a new [/color][color=#ff0000]action[/color][color=#a9a9a9] available, called [/color][color=#ff0000]decision[/color][color=#a9a9a9] (1 decision/turn, decision can only be made in phase1): until all the living characters make the same decision in the same turn, stage4 will not end.[/color]

All [b]action[/b] of range = 0 is melee.
A basic [b]character[/b]’s [color=#ff0000][b]action[/b][/color] can be chosen amongst: [acronym='melee action that deals physical damage = (your_att) minus (target_def)'][color=#ff0000]strike[/color][/acronym], [color=#ff0000]intercept[/color], [color=#ff0000]ambush[/color], [color=#ff0000]guard[/color], [color=#ff0000]retrieve[/color], and [color=#ff0000]move[/color].
[hr]
[u][b]GAME’s MECHANISM: [/b][/u]
From [b]stage2[/b] to [b]stage4[/b], the game is divided into [b]turns[/b].
At the beginning of each [b]turn[/b], every living [b]character[/b] confirms all of their [color=#ff0000][b]actions[/b] [/color](in order that they will happen if there is more than one).
Each [b]turn[/b] is divided into X [b]phases[/b], with X is the greatest [b]agi[/b] that a living [b]character[/b] has. In the [b]phase[/b] 1, the first [b]action[/b] of each [b]character[/b] is carried out, in order of [b]priority[/b]. If any [color=#ff0000][b]actions[/b] [/color]have the same [b]priority[/b], they all happen simultaneously. When all [color=#ff0000][b]action[/b] [/color]and [b]damage[/b] of a [b]phase[/b] takes effect, that [b]phase[/b] ends and the next [b]phase[/b] (if there is) begins.
Each [b]character [/b]can only execute 1 [color=#ff0000][b]action[/b] [/color]in each [b]phase[/b].
Order of priority: [b]melee [/b]> [b]range [/b]> [b]magic [/b]> [b]move[/b]
Amongst [b]actions[/b] of the same [b]type[/b] of the same [b]phase[/b], a[b]ction[/b] of the [b]character [/b]with higher [b]agi [/b]has [b]priority[/b].
[b]Weariness[/b]: if you lose [b]hp [/b]during any [b]turn[/b], add the following [b]damage[/b]: damage=for k from 1 to n do sum of〖5×(k^2-agi) 〗, with n is the last [b]phase [/b]that you do an [b]action[/b].
Any negative number results from calculation will take the value of zero.
[b]Damage[/b]’s calculation has effect immediately when the [b]action [/b]is executed.
Only the enteger part of the result of calculation will be taken into account. For exemple: 2.5 is 2; 1.3 is 1; 0.8 is 0.
[b]Promotion[/b]: if you are (amongst) the last to deal a [b]hit [/b]that makes a [b]character [/b]lose his last [b]hp[/b], you gain an extra [b]mod[/b]. You can use it at the end of any [b]turns[/b].
When a [b]character [/b]dies, any [color=#8b4513][b]object [/b][/color]that [b]character [/b]has will belong to the [color=#800080][b]scene[/b][/color].
If a [b]mod [/b]contradicts a regular rule, follow the [b]mod[/b]. If a higher tier [b]mod [/b]contradicts another [b]mod[/b], follow the higher tier. If there is a specific rule for the specific situation, follow the specific rule.
[hr]

[*]Distance between the starting scene and the destination can be any integer from 1 to X, with X is the character’s mvt. If the character chooses to move X scenes, with X being any number ends with .5, then, in the current turn, that character moves (X-0.5) scenes, in the following turn, that character moves (X+0.5) scenes. Those moves execute under normal move’s rule.
