We of the Blades of Altea are an independent military unit led by Alabaster the Crucible. Our mission is to ensure the safety of the peoples who lie within the lands of Ala'altea. Our reach extends beyond the borders of the Five Domains to help the people in need. Currently, we are splitting our forces into five units to attend to the needs of the Five Domains. Although three months have passed since the Pelian-Sothesian War over the central stretch of land of Ala'altea, there are still people who are under prey of maurading bandits and require our protection and help as they recover from the war. We will also extend our resources to help the people with any task they need that they cannot ask for from their respective lords.

May the blessings of Altea be upon you all.

Mission Structure

There are two modes that occur in each mission.

Standby Mode

Here, you will be given a short brief of your situation, then you are left to go about your way. In this mode, you are allowed to interact with anything on the map. Each person will state an action they wish to do. Once everyone has decided what to do, I will return the results of your actions. When a certain amount of time has passed, or if a certain action is done, then Battle Mode will begin.

Battle Mode

During Battle Mode, you and the enemys will take turns in combat. During Player Turn, each member of the squad will have the chance to post their move and action. Once they have declared an action, the others must wait until the results of that action is given. Player Turn will end once each character has completed each of their actions. During Enemy Turn, the enemies will make their moves one by one. Player Turn and Enemy Turn will alternate until either the Players complete their objective or if the Players all die.

Player -> Results -> Player -> Results ... -> Enemy -> Player ...
