You have 16 Days Until Your Place of Business is Shut Down

>Okay, if I know anything about combat tactics (and trust me, I don't know crud >.<), focusing on one enemy at a time is preferable. Thinking that let's use our Ether Light on the Wolf in front of Sarrah and have Dave use Attack the Wolf from the side. Hopefully it will go down and we can focus on the one in front of Dave next...maybe use our combo attack for it?

>Figured Puni were useless. Too bad we didn't take that mission to kill 10 of them...

> Yeah, music would be neat.

> OK, yes. Go with IC's plan, and then have Dave move to C8 once the wolf is dead and Hatchet Throw at the Puni. That should be fine.

{Forest Battle - Splendid Force}

You make a signal to Dave to gang up on the wolf closest to you. You work to focus your energies the way Master taught you to...it's been a while since you did this last, actually. Dave chops at the wolf while you prepare your attack, and then you let it go, aiming your staff in the direction of the creature. A pure white glowing sphere appears just past the tip of the staff, and a thick rope of light arcs out from the sphere, pulling the energy along until it slams straight into the wolf's side. Already injured a bit from Dave's attack, it goes down. You're left feeling winded from the effort; Dave moves to where that wolf was as soon as it's out of the way.

The remaining wolf goes in for a bite and catches Dave's leg. "Aagh!" He kicks with his other leg to get it off but it lets go right away, having apparently not intended to stick around anyway, and hops back a bit. The puni shapes itself into a ball and rolls toward Dave, but he throws a hatchet its way. The slime-thing looks like it's barely holding together now, and it loses enough momentum that it stops a bit shy of actually reaching him.

• Zero Motivation (passive): Eh. Miranda has less energy states than normal (Exhausted, Okay, Fine). It costs energy to perform regular move and attack actions in battle. Active skills require a large percentage of her maximum energy.
  
• Chill (passive): Whatever, it's fine. Miranda regains a small amount of energy anytime she isn't doing anything, regardless of if it's out of town or even in the middle of a battle.
  
• Spin Slash: Gotta respect the classics. Slashes everything in the 8 tiles surrounding Miranda for physical damage.
  
• Lazy Combo: Way too much effort. Performs six normal attacks in a row (which can have distinct targets), and then lacks the motivation to do anything at all for the next two turns (Chill is disabled during these turns).
  
• Slack Off (3/3): Miranda's favorite activity. Doesn't accomplish anything immediate, but restores a moderate amount of energy instead of spending it. Has a 2-turn cooldown and only works 3 times per battle.

Fee: 500 Cole

FYI I'm not doing a "body location injury" mechanic. Maybe there's some kind of debuff for not being able to move around/moving around more slowly but I don't feel like making the system "care" exactly what part of someone was injured by an attack in general.
