A Golden Blizzard [Closed]

Blizzardshine walked calmly towards one of her favorite training spots, her paws making the soft snow under them crunch with each step. Not many paw prints besides their own marked the snow, and the others were a bit too old for the cats that made them to still be around, so this probably will be a private training session between them. Once they reached the spot she nodded with a smile, turning around to face Goldenpaw “Today I’ll teach you the basics for fighting, so you can successfully defend yourself and those you love if you ever need to. Are you ready to start?” She meowed calmly, the chilly breeze making her long white pelt dance at the rhythm of a silent melody.

OOC: If you have any questions, please ask them. I’ll let you hit first so I can see if you have an idea of how the battle system works or if we need to start from scratch, as well as of how detailed I need to be when explaining thigs to you.

Blizzardshine smiled and nodded, clearly pleased with his answer “No need to be so formal, Goldenpaw. I may be your mentor, but I want to be your friend as well, so just talk to me as such” Her voce was calm and gentle, just like always. She tended to consider the cats of the clan as friends and family more than simply clanmates she spent her days with, and she really hoped they could consider her as such instead of just thinking of her as the deputy “Show me what you already know, please” As she spoke, she quickly got into a defensive position, wating for the apprentice’s move.

OOC: Hehe...actually you answered my question really well with that. I’ll go Out of Character for a bit to explain this to you, if you have questions or get confused, just ask. I'll be as detailed as I can:


The battle system is what you’ll use in any serious battle here. In the rank system (Link to Rank System) you’ll see that each rank has an HP number and an SP number:

-HP stands for “Hit Points”, or, in other words, your cat’s “life”. Now, if your HP hits “0” you won’t die, you simply get KO’ed, what means that a medicine cat can’t heal you and you can’t battle anymore. You can see how much damage each move does depending on your rank below the SP cost and effect Move Chart.
-SP stands for “Stamina Points”, now, the battle system (Link to Battle System) consists on many moves, some general for all the cats, others exclusive for each clan. Each move has a certain cost of SP, and if your SP hits “0” your cat is considered to be too tired to keep fighting anymore.

There are two kind of moves: The regular moves, that have no effect, and the special moves, in which you can find certain restrictions or effects where you have to roll a dice (You can find this option under the post area when making a regular post, so if you need to roll a dice you can’t just use the quick reply system) and, depending on the dice, it is how long the effect lasts. You can see which effect each move has, if any, and the numbers that you need to get from the dice roll so it lasts a certain time. Remember to read the rules above the moves as well.

Let’s try a regular move first, to see if you grasp that. Then we can try a dice-roll move so you see how it is done. I'll also use italics on the battle system I use to let you know what is each thing. Also this is only a “Battle System Training”, so the HP and SP refill themselves after each turn, given that Blizzardshine isn’t trying to hurt her apprentice and vice-versa. This won’t happen on a real fight though, so keep that in mind

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blizzardshine almost immediately blocked the apprentice’s attack, not receiving any damage from it. She wasn’t really surprised with his lack of training after all, it was really rare to have a newly appointed apprentice that already knew the basics of fighting anyways “You know how to get good momentum and are eager to prove what you know, and that’s good. However, when battling a trained warrior or even other apprentices you need some technique and actual strategy. Otherwise you will get blocked each time you try to attack just like what happened right now and in the long run that will end up making you lose the battle” Her words were just as kind and casual as before, hoping to be able to guide the apprentice into a more casual way to talk with her but not wanting to just force him out of him comfort zone. It would take some time, but she hoped she would be successful “I’ll show you a basic move right now, just so you get the idea” With that Blizzardshine used the most basic move on her arsenal, being careful to keep her claws sheathed to not harm the apprentice.


Blizzardshine used Front Paw Blow on Goldenpaw, dealing 12 damage and using 5 stamina <~ (You must state which cat uses which move, and who are they attacking. After that you must first state the damage dealt and then the stamina taken away through the use of said move)

Goldenpaw: <~ (The opponent/s usually go on top)
8/20 <~ (Opponent’s remaining HP Vs. Original HP, you must subtract the points of damage dealt on the left side)
80/80 <~ (Opponent’s SP, you can’t modify this)

Blizzardshine: <~ (Your attacking cat usually goes on the bottom)
100/100 <~ (Your HP, you can’t modify this)
275/280 <~ (Your remaining SP Vs. Original SP, you must subtract the SP used on the left side)

OOC: That’s completely up to you. Most members just take for granted that their cat went back to full health between the fight and the next thread. However, if you want your cat to be healed or actually stay wounded for the next thread for whatever reason, like character development or a plot, you’re free to do so. Also, you can chose to run away or faint when your HP or SP hit “0”, it isn’t mandatory for you to just lose consciousness. Also yes, every post is considered to be one turn.

Also kudos for being the first member I train on this system that deals the damage corresponding to your cat’s rank instead of the damage my own cat deals. You really surprised me there! (In a good way, don’t worry X3)

Okay, mow comes a more tricky part, though fairly simple once you get used to it: The dice roll attacks. These attacks are in the special attack rank, but what differences them from the rest special attacks is that the effects these can inflict on the opponent vary depending on the number the dice gives to you, you can check the effects on the Battle System as well. Here are the steps you need to follow to use them:
-Click the “Preview” button instead of the “Send” one after typing your post
-Right under the post box you'll see the "Dices Roll" one. In the Blank box, pick "Effect Dice"
-Click "Send"

You'll see that there will be an automatic generated post right after yours, there you'll see the number you got from the dice roll. Compare it with the Battle System table and you'll get the number of turns that the opponent will be under such effects. When a cat is under the effects of one of these moves they can't attack until the number of turns is up, meaning that if they are stunned for one turn, they must post but can't do anything to harm your cat or any other cat during that post (1 Post = 1 Turn). Remember that moves that leave a cat defenseless like this one can't be used in succession, this is to avoid stunning a cat over and over again, winning the fight because you didn't allowed them to hit back.

Since this isn't a real battle the effects from the dice get nullified, meaning that you're allowed to attack on your next turn regardless of what I may get in the Dices Roll.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blizzardshine let out a pleased chuckle when the apprentice hit her, clearly approving of the apprentice’s advance and happy with how fast he absorbed the knowledge she had to offer “Great! You’re a talented cat, I can already tell” With that, she quickly got on an offensive position, ready to continue the training “Now I’ll teach you a more complicated attack, don’t worry, I won’t harm you” With that, Blizzardshine used her strong legs to spring onto the apprentice’s back, careful to keep her claws sheathed even if it caused her to not have a stable hold. She preferred to fall off because of that than scratch him, even if in the end it didn’t happened and she successfully pinned him to the ground.

“With this attack you’ll be able to keep attacking and not receive damage for as long as you keep the cat pinned down, it’s a bit tricky to use and you can get tired easily struggling to keep the opponent pinned down, but it can give you a guaranteed win if you know when and how to use it” After those words she got off Goldenpaw’s back, freeing him from her grasp and getting on a defensive position again so the apprentice could try the move as well.


Blizzardshine used Leap-and-hold on Goldenpaw, dealing 14 damage and using 10 stamina. Goldenpaw is pinned down for 1 turn <~ (The number of turns your opponent is affected must be edited in at the end of this phrase after you get the dice roll numbers. In this case I got a 3, what means that in a real battle your cat would be pinned down for one turn)

Goldenpaw:
6/20
80/80

Blizzardshine:
100/100
270/280

OOC: You did really well!!! We should wrp up this thread and I can make the hunting patrol for Goldenpaw as well.


Blizzardshine lowered her head and stood as stay as possible so Goldenpaw wouldn’t have much trouble to execute the move, and if she didn’t fell with him holding her down was because of the obvious size difference and because she was already expecting that specific move. She knew the apprentice would have it quite harder on a real battle, but they could increase the difficulty of the training once he was used to the basics.

“Good, good!” Blizzardshine purred before looking at the sky, the sun was going to set soon and even if her apprentice now knew how to defend himself she didn’t want to take unnecessary risks “Tomorrow I can teach you how to hunt, if you want” She lowered herself to allow him to jump off her back to head back to camp “StarClan knows we need as much prey as we can get on these cold times, and is our duty to keep the clan from starving”.
