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

> Sarah, move to C6. Dave, move to D6. I think it'd be best to just evade them for now, and those spaces seem best strategically. Sarah can fight off the wolf on the left next turn, and the other two will have to head pretty far to get us.

> We did get wood chips though! So there's that. Well done us.

>Came to same conclusion. C6 and D6 are the best we can hope for.

{Forest Battle - Splendid Force}

You and Dave both bolt for a place with a bit more cover and farther away from at least two of your opponents. The nearest one chases you down right away and winds up right next to you; the others charge closer but don't quite make it.

The wolf next to you goes for a swipe with its claws, but you manage to back out of the range of the swipe. Maybe now you can actually fight back.

Spoiler

• 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
