(For the full RPG experience, let youtube continue to play the next dragon ball tracks while you read - its really worth it. Youtube puts tiny 10 second breaks between tracks. No matter what tracks play and when changes happen, it lines up VERY well with the story :D).

ARE YOU READY TO READ THE EPIC BEGINNING TO MISSION 2?!

IS SHINKY GOING TO BRUTALLY MURDER EVERYONE AND IS THIS THE END OF OUR BELOVED HEROES?!

Congrats (sort of) everyone! You guys barely survived. Let's all thank lady luck, allowing Sam X and that thermal detonator to save the day! Also a special thanks to Rogue for agreeing to be a baddie with me! That was almost the first failed Phase! I told you guys this was going to be rough. It was: 10 player max, difficulty hard. Props to all. Your builds were perfect for this phase. Sincere kudos for proving this game's concept works. I promise though, I am going to try abundantly hard to assure that a defense heavy build will kill you in the future. Mark my shanks. I'm not saying it's the next Phase, but it's the next Phase. For this next phase, there is no assurance. You will be assigned to one of two missions. There will be a determining factor that I will not reveal until sign-ups for the phase are over. I would not suggest trying to figure out this hidden factor I am using, it may back-fire on you.

First of all, I'd like to brag hard about it: Ragnar v. Jawa: Ragnar 4 wins and Jawa 1 win.

Second: What an amazing story, Shink! You need to let us rest dude, we've been beaten bad this time! I love how the story goes, but I think it needs to calm down a little bit for a moment, it becomes very intense!

I recommend everybody to listen to the music while you're reading it, it makes all the difference :P

edit.: Thanks to Samurai X for saving us all :P

Like last time, you beat most of the boss. Sadly, this time you didn't escape your portion of battle. You remained in battle for two-thirds of the boss. Props...the team may have lost without you. Cult and Sam X just got thrown in at the last minute for the last hits! Everyone went defense, like I heavily suggested. Imagine how badly the team would've wiped using damage builds with the enemies I created? Also keep in mind, I may invoke -strength and -stamina for wiping on quests like this which were ranked hard or dangerous. Keep in mind, I will progress the story no matter what. Your choices as a team may change that very story. Most thought it to be suicide to go back and fight Xxun and Selani.

Admittedly, no matter the build or players, the team was supposed to fail/barely escape. I wanted players to feel vulnerability. Hard = barely surviving or losing. Dangerous = mostly likely wiping, only luck will let you win. With 10 players, victory in this phase would have been certain!

With much info,

Shinky

Awesome story! I read it listening to God of War soundtrack. Fits perfectly too :D
Lady Luck was a good girl this time, we barely survived! Let us all hail her!

Shink, may I suggest you to repost the "how to build a char" but a full version of it, not only the update you made. So new players don't have to look at two posts to engage properly.
And, by the way, keep the good work, it is always delightful to read your stories

ps.: i had to use a lot of google translate this time :D thank you to improve my english

ANOTHER CASTLE. I SAID ANOTHER CASTLE. Did you want to be in that stinky Dathomirian temple anyway? Sam X went and blew it up too. I promise you will be in the first castle or temple which is worthy of your princessitude.

@All: Mission 2: Phase 2 details will be in a few weeks!

"Princessitude" lol.

*high pitch princess voice*
Very well. I will patiently await the rescue of my distressed damseled self and not princesstitute myself for any common peasant castle.

I'll tell ya what, bro! If we don't go andrescue princess John quicky, I'll quit this click, put on my plumber clothes and find the Jawser's (bowser) world by myself!
