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

> Dave can go backwards to D7, luring the top wolf closer, then use Ether Hatchet.

> Sarah, you're a magician's apprentice. If you can't survive a simple magical attack of your own creation, I have no words. Either that or run up to C4 quickly to avoid it.

{Forest Battle - Splendid Force}

Dave moves into a corner while you duck away in the opposite direction. All three wolves seem intent on biting his face off now. "Sarah! Thing!"

"Wha--but you'll get hit by it!" you protest.
"Better'n eaten by wolves!" You can't fault that logic, or at any rate you don't have time to. You get your shot together as quickly as you can, and the attack explodes on the middle Wolf, taking it and the one on your side out. Dave gets some burns from the explosion, but on the plus side he has survived. Just one fairly badly injured wolf left, now, and of course it tries (but fails!) to bite him.

Miranda (???): Uninjured, Fine
Weapon: Knight's Sword
Armor: Knight's Armor
Accessory: None
Skills:

SpoilerShow

• 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

Dual Techs:

SpoilerShow

Sarah & Dave:
Ether Hatchet (Hatchet Throw + Ether Light): Do the thing! Targets any enemy on a straight line from Dave which he could hit with Hatchet Throw. Deals physical damage to the target and then magical damage to anything in the 3x3 square centered on the target.

It's alright, I was just worried the small hiatus on my part had made everyone abandon the adventure entirely. I can be patient if I at least know there's still interest somewhere.
