Strunk plays Fire Emblem!

[Strunk]

I don't mind getting levels like that. A lot of the time, I end up getting zero or one stats on level up, sometimes for several levels in a row, so for me, they're actually doing pretty well. Anyway, I don't think setting up the supports will be too hard. I don't care about turn counts at all, so I have all the time in the world. Although I've never really payed attention to what supports actually give, I figure it'll help when you only have five people. Also, I've been trying to be entertaining, but I'm not sure if anything I'm saying is actually funny. It could just be my confidence issues, though.

[Anacybele]

I say go with the Sain/Fiora A support option! They're such a CUTE pairing!

Also, yeah, I had no idea Rebecca could be so good. And I trained up Wil instead. xP

[Strunk]

Well, that was fun. And I don't even mean that sarcastically. Beating this chapter using Sain and Florina was a hell of a lot more fun that I thought it would be. Too many archers around, though.

[spoiler=Chapter 16]

Stop. I already know where this is going. You say something about how we need to kill them, I say it's a bad idea, you all decide to do it anyway.

Yep.

Sain decides to study a book on hitting stuff with other stuff. Honestly, he should know how to do that by now.

Florina. She did pretty good. Most of the time.

Sain. Some good levels, some bad levels, and he has never gained a single point in defense.

Anyway, Sain should hit level 20 in the next chapter, and since I have a Knight's Crest, he should also be promoting in the next chapter.

[ZemZem]

H-How...HOW?

Florina and Sain are looking good, too. Sain could use some SPD, though.

[Jave]

Florina is trolling you horribly if she doesn't get Speed five levels in a row.

[Strunk]

Oh god this is so horrible

Alright, a bit late, but here's the next chapter. Sain hits level 20, Florina fails at tanking Dark Magic.

[spoiler=Chapter 17]

Sounds like a fun place.

Who are you

We didn't visit you in this run

What the hell

No, seriously. Where did these guys come from?

Great, it's Ninian. She won't be in our party, so she may as well stay unconscious for the rest of the trip.

Oh, wow, people attacking us. Who'd have thought.

Well, he got speed.

More skill... Yay.

Oh god.

. . . . .

Base defense. At level 20.

This has to be the only good level in this whole chapter. And it wasn't even that good.

Took you long enough! Can we get done with this horrible chapter now?

[Anacybele]

...That Sain is so horribly defense screwed. ;_;

Poor Sain. But I still love you, Sain! <3

[Komeiji Koishi]

Wow, they are trolling you. You have my condolences.

[Jave]

That Rebecca blessage clearly came at a price.

[Strunk]

That Rebecca blessage clearly came at a price.

Seems so. There's still a chance they'll turn out great, and I have hope. Florina and Sain have never let me down before! Even if it all goes south, there's always Rebecca. Fiora should show up sometime soon, as well. It'll all work out.

Right?

Guys?

[Anacybele]

Yeah, Fiora is a better unit than Florina, imo. She should make things better. And you still should support her with Sain! They're so cute together! But if supporting with someone else will give Sain better defensive abilities, then I suppose you ought to go with that instead since he's so defense screwed.

[Strunk]

First off, because I didn't remember, I looked up online how many turns I had to complete this chapter, and the site I looked on said eighteen. So, I completed it in exactly eighteen turns, just barely fast enough to go to the side chapter, only to find out you actually have to complete it in fifteen turns, so. I'm not going to start over. Tomorrow will be chapter 19 instead of 18X.

Onto important stuff : Sain is awesome, even defense screwed, Fiora showed up, Florina dies more easily than her sister does at half her level, and Rebecca can finally get back to killing stuff next chapter. All in all, things are going well for everybody not named Matthew. Poor Matthew.

[spoiler=Chapter 18]

This sounds less like a battleground, and more like a horror movie.

Leave it to Hector to make it even more like a horror movie.

Is it yet another group of mooks out to kill us?

Oh, it's Leila. I wonder what important information she's going to have for us?

Wait, what?

.....

Come on, can't we be left alone?

Your Sain has evolved into a Paladin!

It could be worse...

Fiora! My second Horsebird Pegasus Knight is finally here!

Maybe we should start voting on how many levels it'll be before he gains any defense. Or, if he ever will.

Neat.

Sain gets to kill the boss, and we get an Orion Bolt! Rebecca will appreciate that.

[Anacybele]

Fiora is also faster than Florina at half her level. Toldja she's the better Peg knight.

[Shin]

Fiora is also faster than Florina at half her level. Toldja she's the better Peg knight.

One thing worth mentioning is that's an incredibly speed screwed Florina, she's at least 5 under her average. In fact, she's under in pretty much everything, congratulations!

[Anacybele]

Well, I personally could never do well with Florina. I like Fiora better.

[Komeiji Koishi]

It looks like your units not named Rebecca are getting everything BUT Def. I wouldn't be suprised if they all had higher Res than Def by the end of this.

[Hawk King]

Wow, I told you the RNG was gonna give you the middle finger.

Flo is massively STR blessed and SPD screwed. And Sain's DEF, is laughing at you.

Rebecca is probably pissed that you benched her so she put a curse on everyone else's LV ups, haha.

[Strunk]

Well, I'm a bit late today. So, in exchange, have a long chapter. It even has some jokes this time! And one or two may actually be funny!

Fun fact, I forgot to bring any healing items into this chapter. By the end, everybody was almost dead. (Except Rebecca. She dodged everything that wanted to hit her.) Sain only had one health for half the chapter.

[spoiler=Chapter 19]

Yay.

Didn't the introduction just establish this?

Quit talking in your sleep.

Seriously, she'll just get hurt if she goes around sleep-walking like that.

It's a ghost! I knew this was a horror story!

You looked better with the hood.

What the heck? What are you, a stalker?

Oh yeah.

Hector tries to kill the ghost at level one with his base stats.

It goes about as well as you would expect.

Do you people not get "ghost"?

Cheater.

Hey, it's Darin! How many chapters has it been since we last met? Oh, yeah.

Five.

Just keep laughing. We can still see the fear in your eyes.

Suddenly, the most generic non-generic enemy ever!

Rebecca evolves into a sniper!

Everything in this game is screwed.

Not the worst levels ever.

Pretty good, even without defense. Again.

No matter what, she will not turn out bad. I don't care what she gains from here on out.

Also good.

Five chapters later, and nobody cared.

...except Florina, who leveled up!

This chapter has so many decent levels. Rebecca must be good luck.

It's another ghost! Everybody freak out!

Ah!!

Well, do you know any OTHER ghosts around here?

"This is a message from lo-" Oh, sorry, wrong character.

How do you kill that which is already dead? Throw a dragon at it.

[The Iron Rose]

Jesus that Rebecca is insane. You sure you're not abusing savestates?

also kudos on a pretty damn impressive run so far.

[Strunk]

Thank you very much. As for the savestates, I have used those quite a bit, but only to jump to different parts of the story to take more screenshots or to test out some crazy things like attacking with a 5% chance to hit. If I were abusing levels, there's absolutely no way Sain would still have base defense.

Also,

No chapter for today, because I'm lazy, and because every time I tried to play, somebody would distract me. It's not easy to be funny not that I am when people keep disrupting my train of thought. There will be a new chapter tomorrow, though.

[Strunk]

Here's the next chapter. It would have been up sooner, as in, yesterday, but I ended up starting over about six times. Not because of anything in the game, but because every time I got close to being finished, I realized it was too bland, and I ended up wasting a lot of time trying to be funny. In the end, I settled with what we have here.

[spoiler=Chapter 20]

What's Eliwood doing in Ninian's bedroom while she's sleeping? That seems a bit odd.

What else is new?

Cool stuff.

Always nice to get the promotion item before you hit level 20.

Just three more average levels.

This one's pretty good.

Holy Defense Increase!

Level 20 Florina!

Rebecca only got to shoot one arrow this chapter, but she used it to take out the boss and gain a level.

The only thing he's actually done is make me have to protect him from every enemy on every map for the entire game.

Suddenly, bad guys!

This probably isn't important.

It's not like this is relevant to our army. We have four people that could even remotely be considered to have great power.

And they mostly suck.

[Strunk]

Another chapter finished. We received an Angelic Robe from one of the chests this chapter. Who should get it?

[spoiler=Chapter 21]

Four of them, and four of us. Sounds fair.

Is it Nergal? Because that would be save us a lot of time.

Darn it.

What? Honor? Aren't you the evil guys? Get your priorities straight!

What, now? When it would be the most annoying? When else would they show up?

Florina's Pegasus grows a horn. I would question why it would work that way, except then I would have to question why horses can grow wings in the first place.

You are an expert warrior, who has trained your whole life to wield lances. Here, have a sword!

It seems our run of bad levels is truly over!

Maybe not.

Well, at least we got a stat booster this chapter. Seven free health!

It's like he's Hector, but cooler.

Wait, didn't you just say YOU were going to aid us?

That advice doesn't actually help us at all!

Edited September 22, 2012 by Strunk

[Strunk]

Here's another chapter. Since nobody responded, I decided to save the Angelic Robe for later.

[spoiler=Chapter 22]

This is like the third place we've been where we were supposed to be doomed. Apparently, we have a different definition of "doomed".

Anybody Ever : Hey, Eliwood! Let's go to that place where everybody that enters dies!

Eliwood : Sounds good!

What the heck are you supposed to be?

...They're staring at me. I don't like that.

Aren't you robbing somebody right now? I'd say you're worse.

This would have been better as one level.

Pretty decent.

Giant Useless Guy is still useless.

You're the worst of the lot. Not only are you useless, but you stole so much experience this chapter it's not even funny.

I'm still under the impression Uther just told us that so we'd leave.

If you say so.

Don't care.

Could you cut to the chase? We've had enough cryptic and useless information to last a lifetime.

No, we're here sightseeing.

Just tell us already!

Worst. Explanation. Ever.

[Komeiji Koishi]

Sorry, I forgot to comment. As it stands, give the robe to Fiora since she has less HP.

[Strunk]

While she does have the lowest health out of everybody so far, she's also the only one not promoted. Once she turns into a Falcoknight, she'll probably be at same as Florina. Of course, she may still be the one that needs it most, but it's hard to tell right now.
