What should I be sacrificing and how much?
Also: Can we loot mom's bow, I think she'd want us to kill more faceless.

Sure, you can, the problem is, A) Where are you putting the naginata?, and B) I haven't finalized whether I want to count specific #'s of arrows or not.

Call me heartless if you want but I did not feel upset in the slightest when our heroine's Mom bite the dust. Then again maybe it's be cause I was not at all surprised by her dying.

Well, she dies in Canon as soon as she's on screen, so the odds were against her.

A) Carry the naginata like before, hang the bow over Mozu's shoulder.Sure, you can, the problem is, A) Where are you putting the naginata?, and B) I haven't finalized whether I want to count specific #'s of arrows or not.
B) ...you're on your own for this one. Personally though I would count them until we got to a point in the story that it can be assumed that Mozu has enough of them.

She didn't know how long she spent crying, but when she finally looked up, the sun had disappeared beneath the trees. Blinking away the remains of her tears, Mozu turned in the direction through the rocky valley. "I need to get out of here," she whispered to herself, her mind incapable of thinking of anything else with how exhausting the day has been. Picking up her mother's bow and quiver, she counted how many arrows were left and set the bow and quiver on her back.
Arrows left: (d8:3)+5=8 arrows left
With that said, she began to jog on top of the smaller rocks.
Mozu: Roll to not take a tumble, DC 30: 22+10 (Agility)+3 (1/2 of Precision)-10 (Jogging on the rocks)=25, Bare Failure
One of the rocks caught her foot, and Mozu tripped and fell, bruising herself slightly with the impact.
Mozu HP: 14->13
With that, she continued onward, eventually moving past the rocky territory and finding herself at the edge of the woods. She stopped however, when she saw a faceless guarding the edge. This faceless was slightly larger than the others, and it had a marking of some sort on it's shoulder. A sergeant of some sort?
CHAPTER BOSS ENCOUNTERED: FACELESS SERGEANT, LV. 5
Mozu: Contested Roll for stealth: 53+5 (Precision)+5 (Decent Cover)-10 (Jogging nearby)=53
Faceless Sergeant: Contested Roll for perception: 64+7 (Precision)-5 (Reduced Senses)=66
Results: Failu-
Suddenly, the air around her seemed to grow hazy before becoming clear once more, for what reason she did not know.
???: Reroll utilized:
Results: Success!
Luckily, the larger Faceless didn't spot her when she stopped, instead turning it's head absentmindedly to look in another direction. Taking this opportunity to scan her surroundings, she noticed a gleaming sword with a black hilt to the left of the monster, which shone even in this hour of twilight and shade. Seeing a couple of logs she could hide behind for cover, she began to formulate a plan.
[] Write In - What will you do?
%\%\%\%\%
A/N: Welp, here we are with the first boss in the quest. As you can tell, he's three levels higher than you and he's got boosted stats to match. We've also encountered a certain sword just nearby it. What I wish to do with this quest is to give you guys options on how to deal with most situations, and when it comes to Bosses and more complicated affairs, the ability to create plans on what to do. To give some parameters on what this plan must include:
-You must defeat the boss in combat (I'm not allowing a pacifist option here, for contrived reasons I'll explain later, but mostly so that you guys get a sense of how powerful future encounters will be, Mom's death notwithstanding.
)-You must pick up the sword (if you don't, then the quest is meaningless)
And that's about it. If you get those two things down, I'll allow any plan. And make sure that those of you who can't come up with a plan will still at least vote on one, so that I know which plan we're going with.
So get to planning, and good luck!
Discussion on planning begins now, Voting for plans will begin at 11:00 AM PST, 2:00 PM EST and will end at 7:00 PM PST, 10:00 PM EST tonight.

You know, I feel kinda bad that the first bit of music posted in the thread is MGS:R. Not because Rising is bad, but because Fates has the best OST in the franchise. So let's go with something much more appropriate. Hoshido music even!

A/N: You know, I just remembered that Bamboo Yumi gives Critical Evasion, so Momma might not have died in one due to a crit. She'd probably still die though.
Chapter 1: On the Coldest Day in Hell pt. 7
Mokuyobi (Thursday), the 17th of Hachigatsu (August), according to the Wheel of Time
??/??, according to the Wheel of Fate
??/??, according to the Wheel in the Sky
Mozu HP: 17/20
%\%\%\%\%
Nodding her head, Mozu came up with a plan on the fly. She grabbed a nearby rock, and chucked at a tree far too the right of the Faceless.
Mozu: Contested Roll to distract: 96+5 (Precision)+4 (1/2 of Strength)+10 (Decent Cover, crouching down)-10 (Weapon Accuracy)=105
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be distracted: 37+7 (Precision)+1 (1/2 of Intelligence)+5 (Reduced Senses)-10 (Blocked by shrubbery)=40
Result: Critical Success!
Mozu: Critical Success rolled, Roll to acquire trait: 47, no trait acquired.
Like a Gottan, the Faceless' overeagerness to find new targets played itself. When it heard the rock hit the tree, it chased after it, believing it to be an intruder in the area. With it's attention taken up by the rock, the creature missed Mozu sneaking up behind it and grabbing the sword which seemed to call to her, before swiftly hiding behind another patch of bushes up higher on the hill. When that was done, she put the sword down along with her naginata onto the ground. Finally, her preparations complete, she brought out her mother's bow, nocked back an arrow, aimed at the still distracted monster, and fired.
Mozu: Contested Roll to hit: 21+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+10 (Distracted Target)-5 (It's made out of Bamboo)-1 (With her death, it's cursed)=33
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be hit: 33+9 (Agility)+1 (1/2 of Luck)-10 (I swear there was an enemy around here somewhere...)=33

???: Reroll activated:21 27+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+10 (Distracted Target)-5 (It's made out of Bamboo)-1 (With her death, it's cursed)=39
Results: Bare Success
Cannot crit due to Bare Success
Damage Dealt: (d6:2)+4 (Weapon)+7 (Strength)-13 (Target's Defense)=0 Damage Dealt!
Arrows: 8->7
Which bounced uselessly off of the Faceless' shoulder. Evidently, the shoulders of this one were more durable than the others she had fought. Having just been attacked, the Faceless turned in her general direction...
Faceless: Contested Roll for perception: 51+7 (Precision)+5 (It was definitely attacked just now)-5 (Reduced Senses)-5 (Foliage)=53
Mozu: Contested Roll for stealth: 73+5 (Precision)+5 (Decent Cover)+15 (Little Mouse in the Prairie)-3 (Sudden Movements)=95
Results: 53-95=-42, Major Failure!
...Before going back to where the rock had impacted, still looking for the enemy which was supposed to be there. Breathing out a quiet sigh of relief, Mozu nocked back another arrow and fired.
Mozu: Contested Roll to hit: 87+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+10 (Distracted Target)-5 (It's made out of Bamboo)-1 (With her death, it's cursed)=99
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be hit: 59+9 (Agility)+1 (1/2 of Luck)-10 (I swear there was an enemy around here somewhere...)=59
Results: 99-59=40, Major Success!
Mozu: Roll for Crit, DC 60: 17+5 (Luck)+3 (1/2 of Precision)+10 (Weapon)=35, No Crit
Damage Dealt: (d6:5)+4 (Weapon)+7 (Strength)-13 (Target's Defense)=3 Damage Dealt!
Faceless HP: 36->33
Arrows: 7->6
This time had a bit more success, hitting the Faceless in the shoulder blade and sticking into its flesh. Feeling the pain of the impact, the Faceless turned around again...
Faceless: Contested Roll for perception: 18+7 (Precision)+5 (It was definitely attacked just now)+3 (Blood For Blood)-5 Reduced Senses-5 (Foliage)=23
Mozu: Contested Roll for stealth: 44+5 (Precision)+5 (Decent Cover)+15 (Little Mouse in the Prairie)-3 (Sudden Movements)=66
Results: 23-66=-43, Major Success!
This time a bit more slowly, it turned around once more. Hardly believing her luck, Mozu nocked once again an arrow and let it fly.
Mozu: Contested Roll to hit: 66+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+5 (It's got its back to you)-5 (It's made out of Bamboo)-1 (With her death, it's cursed)=73
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be hit: 96+9 (Agility)+1 (1/2 of Luck)+3 (Blood For Blood)-5 (It suspects...)=104
Results: 73-104=31, Major Failure!
Arrows: 6->5
Turning around faster than she thought it could, it turned around and swatted the projectile out of the air. Entirely frustrated, it decided to just charge in her general direction. Panicking at the incoming wall of flesh, Mozu...
The Spear... or the Sword? Roll: 2 (Distant Chuckling can be heard from somewhere...)
Picked up the sword, and tried to use it to intercept the creature.
Mozu: Contested Roll for clashing: 35+7 (Strength)+3 (1/2 of Precision)+5 (I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND)+5 (Decent Cover)-10 (Unstoppable Forces meets movable object)=45

Desperate Reroll ??? ???: 5, +5 to ???
Results: 45-35=7, Bare Success
It took all the strength she had to knock away the initial charge, and with her temporary disorientation, the Faceless took the opportunity to swing a fist at her.
Faceless: Contested Roll to hit: 42+7 (Precision)+1 (1/2 of Luck)+3 (Blood For Blood)-5 (On the low ground)-10 (Shackled with Chains)=43
Mozu: Contested Roll to not be hit: 69+10 (Agility)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+5 (On the high ground)-5 (Heavy weight)=82
Results: 43-82=-39, Major Failure!
Probably still reeling from it's own disorientation, it missed Mozu entirely, giving her the oppurtunity for a counter attack.
Mozu: Contested Roll to counterattack: 92+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+5 (On the high ground)-5 (Heavy weight)-10 (Weapon Accuracy)=90
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be hit: 29+9 (Agility)+1 (1/2 of Luck)+3 (Blood For Blood)-5 (On the low ground)=37
Results: 90-37=53, Critical Success!!
Damage Dealt: (d6:1)+11 (Weapon)+7 (Strength)-13 (Target's Defense) x 3 (Critical Hit)=18 Damage Dealt!
Faceless HP: 33->15
Faceless: Bloodied Condition activated!
Trait Activated: Sorcerous Construct (Endurance): Negates all Bloodied Penalties!
And oh how well did the sword slice. Slashing across the creature's abdomen, it caused black ichor to spurt out of the wound. Reeling back from this terrible blow, it was Mozu's turn once again to lay the hurt on this foe.
Mozu: Contested Roll to hit: 67+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+5 (On the high ground)-5 (Heavy weight)-10 (Weapon Accuracy)=65
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be hit: 47+9 (Agility)+1 (1/2 of Luck)-5 (On the low ground)=52
Results: 65-52=13, Success!
Mozu: Roll for Crit, DC 87: 19+5 (Luck)+3 (1/2 of Precision)+10 Weapon=37, Failure
Damage Dealt: (d6:4)+11 (Weapon)+7 (Strength)-13 (Target's Defense)=9 Damage Dealt!
Faceless HP: 15->6
Swiping at the monster's shoulder, her blade cut deeply, nearly severing the arm as it too began to leak the black blood of the other wound. Enraged, the Faceless swung it's undamaged arm Mozu's way.
Faceless: Contested Roll to hit: 20+7 (Precision)+1 (1/2 of Luck)+30 (BLOOD FOR BLOOD)-5 (On the low ground)-10 (Shackled with Chains)=43
Mozu: Contested Roll to not be hit: 4+10 (Agility)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+5 (On the high ground)-5 (Heavy weight)=17

Faceless: Roll for Crit, DC 74: 65+1 (Luck)+4 (1/2 of Precision)+0 (Weapon)=70, Failure!
Damage Dealt: (d6:2)+8 (Weapon)+8 (Strength)-9 (Target's Defense)=9 Damage Dealt!
Mozu HP: 17->8
Mozu: Bloodied Condition activated!
It bashed into her ribs, undoubtedly cracking at least one of them, and sending her flying up the hill. Slowly getting up to avoid the pain, she picked her sword back up as the Faceless once more tried to tackle her.
Faceless: Contested Roll for clashing: 32+8 (Strength)+4 (1/2 of Precision)+10 (Size Bonus)+30 (BLOOD FOR BLOOD)-5 (On the low ground)=79
Mozu: Contested Roll for clashing: 45+7 (Strength)+3 (1/2 of Precision)+5 (On the high ground)-10 (Unstoppable Force meets movable object)=50
Results: 79-50=29, Major Failure!
Damage Dealt: (d6:4)+8 (Strength)-9 (Target's Defense)=3 Damage Dealt!
Mozu HP: 8->5
This time, it was a bit more successful in that particular venture, slamming into her and knocking her onto the ground. As it loomed over her, it raised a fist back...
Faceless: Contested Roll to hit: 31+7 (Precision)+1 (1/2 of Luck)+30 (BLOOD FOR BLOOD)=69
Mozu: Contested Roll to not be hit: 62+10 (Agility)+3 (1/2 of Luck)-5 (Heavy weight)=70
Results: 69-70=-1, Bare Failure
And just barely missed her head and she rolled around. Picking up her dropped weapon, she was unprepared for the next attack aimed her way...
Faceless: Contested Roll to hit: 97+7 (Precision)+1 (1/2 of Luck)+30 (BLOOD FOR BLOOD)=135
Mozu: Contested Roll to not be hit: 45+10 (Agility)+3 (1/2 of Luck)-5 (Heavy weight)=53

By perhaps sheer luck, she ducked down fast enough to just skirt under the second punch. Thrusting her sword forward towards her attacker...
Mozu: Contested Roll to hit: 57+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)-5 (Heavy weight)-10 (Weapon Accuracy)=50
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be hit: 49+9 (Agility)+1 (1/2 of Luck)=59
Results: 50-59=-9, Bare Failure!
She missed the torso just barely as the Faceless jumped backwards. It landed awkwardly, however, lending her another oppurtunity to strike at it...
Mozu: Contested Roll to hit: 76+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)-5 (Heavy weight)-10 (Weapon accuracy)=69
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be hit: 3+9 (Agility)+1 (1/2 of Luck)=13
Results: 69-13=56, Critical Success!
Mozu: Critical Success rolled, Roll to acquire trait: 32, trait not acquired.
Damage Dealt: (d6:5)+11 (Weapon)+7 (Strength)-13 (Defense) x 3 (Critical Hit)=30 Damage Dealt!
Faceless HP: 6->-24, Faceless Slain!
With one final thrust of her sword, she stabbed right into the monster's head, breaking it's mask and face open like a melon, squirting out it's black juices. Pulling her new sword out of the head, she looked around and spied no other enemies in sight. With that taken care of...
...She fainted from exhaustion.

A/N: *Yawns* Man did that take a while. Even with your super duper new magic sword, Mozu still struggled to kill the boss. Considering he was 3 levels higher, and had more HP than is usual for his kind, that's kind of to be expected now that I think about it.
As for those "Desperate Rerolls"? Basically, I give you guys (or rather, the sword gives you guys) a free reroll per update, which is automatically spent on the first time it would be needed. You can also automatically use "Desperate Rerolls" which can A) Only activate if the Free reroll is used up, B) Only activate in times of Critical Failure, and C) Can only activate up to twice per Contested Roll, or once per standard roll. A new number is rolled, and then either Replaces Mozu's roll or the enemies' roll (in the case of a Contested roll) depending on where it would be more useful. Each use of the "Desperate Reroll" currently is automatic (you can shut it off later, but not right now), and every time a desperate reroll is used per update, it rolls Xd6, where X is the current number of Desperate Reroll's used, and adds the total to a score. A score I can not reveal as of yet, but one which I will reveal eventually and which you want to increase as little as possible. Trust me, it can be a really bad thing if it hits a certain number. This is why you would even want to turn off the Desperate Rerolls later in the story.
Of course, now the encounter is done with, and in the next few updates we're going to rolling the story along and eventually introducing our Main Character to her new weapon! Oh, and we leveled up again. I already stated the rules for the level-ups above, and I'm having the cut-off time for the point distribution be 6:00 PM PST, 9:00 PM EST Tomorrow. I know I keep flip-flopping around with these cut-off times, but considering my weird work schedule, and how it's a bit fluid right now, I don't exactly have a standard time which I'm home by to write these updates. I hope you can forgive me for this.
Well, that's all I needed to say. Be off, my readers!

Wrath of the Beast (Strength): The anger of losing all that you have loved has coalesced into a terrifying boost to strength! Mozu can now enter into a berserker state which multiplies her strength by 1.5, adds half of her strength to her attack, dodge, damage and agility (for the purposes of extra attacks) and removes all weight penalties due to weapons and exhausted penalties! However, at the end of the encounter, she takes damage equal to her strength, and enters an exhausted state which penalizes all rolls she takes until she falls asleep. She can enter the berserk state again to get rid of the exhausted penalties due to using said state, but if she does the penalties increase to the current penalties+(the previous penalties*1.5), or, to demonstrate, using the state once reduces all rolls by 10 at the end of it, using it a second time reduces them by 25, a third use would end at penalizing by 48, and so on.

Nodding her head, Mozu came up with a plan on the fly. She grabbed a nearby rock, and chucked at a tree far too the right of the Faceless.
Mozu: Contested Roll to distract: 96+5 (Precision)+4 (1/2 of Strength)+10 (Decent Cover, crouching down)-10 (Weapon Accuracy)=105
Faceless: Contested Roll to not be distracted: 37+7 (Precision)+1 (1/2 of Intelligence)+5 (Reduced Senses)-10 (Blocked by shrubbery)=40
Result: Critical Success!
Mozu: Critical Success rolled, Roll to acquire trait: 47, no trait acquired.
Like a Gottan, the Faceless' overeagerness to find new targets played itself. When it heard the rock hit the tree, it chased after it, believing it to be an intruder in the area. With it's attention taken up by the rock, the creature missed Mozu sneaking up behind it and grabbing the sword which seemed to call to her, before swiftly hiding behind another patch of bushes up higher on the hill. When that was done, she put the sword down along with her naginata onto the ground. Finally, her preparations complete, she brought out her mother's bow, nocked back an arrow, aimed at the still distracted monster, and fired.

Which bounced uselessly off of the Faceless' shoulder. Evidently, the shoulders of this one were more durable than the others she had fought. Having just been attacked, the Faceless turned in her general direction...

...Before going back to where the rock had impacted, still looking for the enemy which was supposed to be there. Breathing out a quiet sigh of relief, Mozu nocked back another arrow and fired.

This time had a bit more success, hitting the Faceless in the shoulder blade and sticking into its flesh. Feeling the pain of the impact, the Faceless turned around again...

This time a bit more slowly, it turned around once more. Hardly believing her luck, Mozu nocked once again an arrow and let it fly.

Turning around faster than she thought it could, it turned around and swatted the projectile out of the air. Entirely frustrated, it decided to just charge in her general direction. Panicking at the incoming wall of flesh, Mozu...
The Spear... or the Sword? Roll: 2 (Distant Chuckling can be heard from somewhere...)
Picked up the sword, and tried to use it to intercept the creature.

It took all the strength she had to knock away the initial charge, and with her temporary disorientation, the Faceless took the opportunity to swing a fist at her.

Probably still reeling from it's own disorientation, it missed Mozu entirely, giving her the oppurtunity for a counter attack.

And oh how well did the sword slice. Slashing across the creature's abdomen, it caused black ichor to spurt out of the wound. Reeling back from this terrible blow, it was Mozu's turn once again to lay the hurt on this foe.
Mozu: Contested Roll to hit: 67+5 (Precision)+3 (1/2 of Luck)+5 (On the high ground)-5 (Heavy weight)-10 (Weapon Accuracy)=65

Faceless HP: 15->6
Swiping at the monster's shoulder, her blade cut deeply, nearly severing the arm as it too began to leak the black blood of the other wound. Enraged, the Faceless swung it's undamaged arm Mozu's way.
Faceless: Contested Roll to hit: 20+7 (Precision)+1 (1/2 of Luck)+30 (BLOOD FOR BLOOD)-5 (On the low ground)-10 (Shackled with Chains)=43

It bashed into her ribs, undoubtedly cracking at least one of them, and sending her flying up the hill. Slowly getting up to avoid the pain, she picked her sword back up as the Faceless once more tried to tackle her.

This time, it was a bit more successful in that particular venture, slamming into her and knocking her onto the ground. As it loomed over her, it raised a fist back...
