GlitchWarrior Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) This will be a RP/Ironman Randomizer. Call me a lunatic. Chapter 1The Knights of the Greataxe Spoiler (Static Noises) Ahem... Is this thing on? Perfect. All right, adventurer's log day 1. My name is Heath Victorus Pherae. I am the ruling lord of House Pherae in Lycia, and I have been ever since my father, Elbert (who bears no resemblance to me for some reason) vanished without a trace. Today, I'm going to set out to find him. I don't want to be a leader, I'm not one for that business. My comat prowess... Well, it's sorely lacking. While I'm strong enough, and somewhat bulky, my accuracy leaves much to be desired. I am going to need help on my quest to find him. Normally, I'd just e-mail my buddy Lucius, but his older brother is kinda out sick, and needs support. So instead, I'll have to travel with my posse. Only two of those knights really matter, though. This is Dart. He's the captain of the Pheraean Knights. He's also a warrior, and I think I won't be seeing another promoted class for a while, so I'd best make as good use of him as I can. His speed is also not wonderful, but he's even tankier and actually accurate. He can either swing an axe or fire a bow, so he shares that in common with me. Originally it was gonna just be us, but then he told me this: Just perfectly lovely. Hector is basically Dart without any combat training. I don't see a lot of use for him right now. He can't even take hits very well. I think the real reason Dart keeps him around is that he's one of only like 4 other Pheraean Knights with an officer's degree, Dart included. I'm not sure whether Rebecca is much competition, but she's staying by Mother's side for now. Anyway, Hector is seeking out adventurers to help. I hope we GET some. Well, crap. Hector only brought a single adventurer with him! Oh, and the village is also under attack. But mostly the first thing! Hector brought this girl with him. I'm not sure what to say about her power. She's actually way stronger than she is, and outstrips him in every area except for defense, health and resistance. The problem is, she looks really freaking frail. I think she'll explode after just one hit. So note to self: Isadora is a finisher. With that out of the way, let's scope out the competition. So, anyway. There are mostly brigands here. Luckily, axes and axes go hand in hand, so I'm fine. The archer might be a problem, since my team is made almost entirely of fighters, but they don't hit too hard anyway. Now, as for their captain... score, he's a knight. Fun fact about knights: They hate axes. Nice. Now, let's get to work. I first order Hector to battle the nearest brigand. Naturally, he misses. DART: Hm. So he's not really accomplishing much. Like usual. HEATH: Dart? DART: Yes, sir? HEATH: Give me my killer bow. Sadly, I fail to land a critical hit. The bandit still lives. But that won't last long. I ask Isadora to finish him off. It's only now that I realize how well built she is for a woman. She almost looks like a guy. Anyway, one bandit down, and it only took our entire first turn! The enemy makes their advance, but just as they're nearing, Wallace and Hawkeye finally catch up. These two set a better example than Hector, at least. While Wallace isn't incredibly powerful, he's certainly the fastest out of all of my allies, only matching my own speed. And then there's Hawkeye. He's.. He's the example of what a Knight should be, in Dart's words. He's easily the most well-rounded of my soldiers. He has the highest health, strenghth, and luck out of all of us. He's shirtless. What more could I want? Well, granted, he's a spearmen in a land filled with brigands. He'd best watch himself. We make quick work of the rest of the bandits, with Hawkeye and Wallace certainly proving their worth, and Isadora and Hector nearing death but getting a bit of experience. The boss is finally prepared to do battle, and- Is the poorest excuse of a knight to ever exist. Groznyi: Ha! I am the ruler of the bandits! I have Armor! Wallace: That means nothing. One dead boss later, Wallace levels up. It's not a very impressive level, soooo... I place hope that he'll improve later. Anyway, we've dealt with the bandits! Yay! And we'll never have to deal with them agai- Um. I'll get back to you on that.

GlitchWarrior Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Nothing too much, apart from bases, growths, classes, and unit slots, and item spawns, and... Okay, the only thing that ISN"T randomized is the weapon stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanes Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yes Heath is the lord! I mean he kinda sucks in this randomizer but Heath is one of my favorite units ever, so I'm happy about that. Everyone else except Hawkeye just looks so terrible though, yikes I hope this randomizer isn't too evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinco Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Ooh, randomizers are always fun. Hope you don't mind me tagging along. Heath's 2 base speed is painful to look at, hopefully his growths aren't too bad (can't remember if you can view growths in Yune randomiser?) I suspect this might be looking pretty close to a Hawkeye solo for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitchWarrior Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Chapter TwoVariation Spoiler (static noises) Okay, this could be a problem. Unlike when I was leaving Pherae, there's actually variation amongst my foes. I'd best watch my back. I don't want anything stupid to happen to me or my comerades. And I'm pretty sure Isadora still explodes if any of them even touches her. That's a good start, right? While Hector and Wallace team up to take on one bandit, I decide to have a shoot-off with the enemy nomad. It doesn't go in my favor. I miss, and he doubles. Luckily, I have some bulk, so I should survive. Hector is getting extra skill? I approve, although bulk and speed would be appreciated right about now. Be more like Wallace or Hawkeye, guys. Speaking of Wallace, he's still showing his worth. Wow. Isadora managed to get a level-up, too. While I am glad she actually has a defense stat now, it'll be a long while before those numbers mean anything. It's a good thing she's the most reliable of the Greataxe Order, as I've taken to calling it. Hawkeye is still freaking OP! This is a really good thing! All of these axe enemies can't do a thing to him, he's gonna one-round them in return, and yeah just messing with you I'm not stupid, shut up, I see that nomad. Not doing it. The good news is, Dart's informed me that Lucius should be here with reinforcements by next turn. Wonderful! Until then, though, I position myself outside of the nomad's range and prepare to go at him. CRIT! Also Wallace got poisoned. Not sure what to make of that, but the natural poisons in Elibe aren't very potent, so I'm hopeful. So Lucius showed up with reinforcements, and- Okay, so good news, he brought Bartre with him. The guy is level 9, so I hope that helps him out. Bad news is that Bartre is a bit of a buzzkill. But I'm okay with that. Since he's the most talented mage I have ever seen. Compare this to the enemy magicians: Sure, sure, Bartre isn't as good as Hawkeye. But tell me this: How many enemies in the near future are going to have a resistance stat too high? These guys only have 4, and they're the highest-res enemies on the map save the boss! Bartre is staying for sure, especially since, like Wallace and Hawkeye, he can take a hit. Lucius is... decidedly less spectacular. He may well be downgrade Wallace. Gods, is this the man I consider my best friend? He's certainly not a wonderful fighter. Maybe he'll grow better, but for now I won't hold my breath. This does nothing to raise my hopes. Yeah, no. Lucius, just... get back. Let Bartre take care of those guys for now. These results raise my hopes. Considerably. I can't stress enough how incredibly, terrifyingly powerful Hawkeye is. He's barely seen much combat at all and he can already take on virtually anyone on this map. One has to wonder how Dart is the captain of Pherae's knights when Hawkeye can do this before even promoting. I ultimately go for the fighter with Hector, while the shirtless dracoknight decides it's time for the massacre to begin. He targets the enemy' shaman. Dart decides to crit the enemy lord. So that's nice. Oh sweet Sothis, Lucius is so terrible at life. Dart and Hawkeye team up for a bosskill. I didn't expect Hawkeye's level-up to be this freaking good. Anyway, nothing else in this map matters, so let's just skip ahead to the end. Apparently, Bartre isn't the only friend Lucius has brought. There's more manpower there! Yes! Nooooooooooooooooo- (Recording fades out) Edited June 10, 2020 by GlitchWarrior made a slight name mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHE MUST PROMOTE! SHE MUST REACH LEVEL 20 PALADIN! YOU ARE LEGALLY MANDATED TO USE FLORINA! I'm... not certain about that. If she grows well, she sticks around, but I'm doing an ironman by a similar ruleset to yourself, so... At least Hawkeye is decent. "Decent" is the biggest understatement I've heard this week. Hawkeye is ridiculously good. Dang, Bartre's way better than he is in vanilla. You don't say. (Lucius)'s actually not that bad compared to some of your other options. I guess so. If anything, he's tankier than Isadora and slightly more accurate than Hector. On 6/10/2020 at 5:16 PM, robinco said: 6 out of your 10 characters are axe users.

On 6/10/2020 at 6:10 PM, eclipse said: Florina looks like she'll be good at hauling Bartre around. Hadn't thought about that, but thanks for the heads-up. Man, where are you archers? Today's update should make you smile then! And now for the main event: Chapter 3 New Blood (NOTE: I actually was midway through writing Chapter 3 when I accidentally deleted the post by killing the spoiler tag and SF never invested in an undo button (and also my "z" key is missing, the only way I can type "z" is actually through "CTRL-V"). This needs to be adressed. In the meantime, if this chapter seems a little burnt out, that's why.) Spoiler My good friend Helman, the marquess of Santaruz, should be able to clear up why the frack we were attacked in his land, even though Santaruz is a neutral territory. But before that, let's check out our new recruits! Yeah.. I'm not sure what to say about the new guys. Erk isn't too beefy. I'd say he's Hector 2.0. Still, he has a couple advantages. One, he can cross rivers. And two, he has a cooler promotion. Florina is something I guess. She's a cavalier; my first one. I have a feeling people want me to field her, so I think I might do that. Oh geez. The badguys got to Santals first! They're a balanced bunch, but they don't look all too strong, so I think that maybe ... Fudge. Wait, hold on. He doesn't have any ranged weapons. Bartre and I can work with this. Erk noticed that one of the enemy archers looks familiar. I might have them talk to smooth things out. If I want to use Florina, I need to make her muscles grow. So naturally? I give her a ring that swells up her muscles. Progress! Lots of boring battle stuff. He can't use it yet, so... Punished. Unfortunately, we couldn't get Isadora's potions back, Rest in peace, vulnerary. You may be missed. OH MY GOSH HECTOR NO (EP starts) Oh... Thank Sothis, he dodged. Getting ready to attack the enemy. Well, only Dart can use this anyhow. Maybe someone else will be able to in the future though, since this is apparently Axe Emblem. Hawkeye proving that he's the superior flier. Not... unacceptable. Bartre continues to flex on everything he sees. BEFORE BATTLE: This guy actually doesn't seem too tough. Plus, Erk doubles. AFTER BATTLE: He missed. He freaking missed. He's got a half-decent hit rate against this guy, but he somehow still missed. Isadora finishes the job. Yes, I am aware, Dorces. But you're part of the squad now! Yay! He immediately begins proving his worth. Whoa, man, nice shot. I missed the cap, but I managed to level up. Tell me, what's the difference between my original pic and the new one? If you said "a single point of health," then congratulations! You're the winner of the "Heath Victorus Pherae Got A Bad Level Up!" award! Bartre gets a much more acceptable one. By one point of skill, but it was still better than mine. I hope I find a guiding ring soon. OH POOP FRACK NO HELP I FORGOT TO HEAL HECTOR ... And so death has claimed the first of us. Drat. Well, it's not the end of the world, I suppose. Now isn't the time for mourning. Now is the time for SWEET REVENGE. I feel better now. Florina manages to get her first kill. I can already see those tiny muscles of hers swelling until she looks like female Superman. With that adorable baby face because how can Florina not look adorable? Seriously, look at this girl!~ How is she not the most loved rider in all of Elibe? If I had it my way, she'd be treated like royalty. Huh? OH, right, the battle. I realized I'd have to take out this thief FAST. Little known fact: My mother gave me a pair of hiking boots for my birthday last year. I never wore them because they looked kinda choppy. But I'll be damned if low-down thieves steal them from me before I can pass them on to someone who might need them more. Maybe I'll give them to Lucius. Or maybe even Florina, so she can dash across the plains in the blink of an eye. After a ton of Bartre chipping down (which led to a level-up that I missed) I decided to give the bosskill to the fairest of them all herself. Flo, clearly emphasizing what's important. Except for strength, which would be at 4 right now if not for that energy ring. Too late to sa- Oh, frick! Helman! ... Aaaand he's dead. LOVELY. First Hector, now Helman? What's worse is that I've seen what he can do- he's a rather skilled bishop, so he would make a fair healer- and now I can't even get him on my side. Darin! You are going down, mark my words! Lucius suggests calling the Lycian Council to order. Unfortunately, there are issues here. Helman is dead. My father is missing. Uther is sick. And Darin is evil. That's at least half the council. Apart from them, theres, uh... Orun... and Hausen... geez, are there only six notable territories in Lycia? Santaruz, Pherae, Ostia, Laus, Caelin, Thria... Let's see, there's Araphen, Kathalet... house Cornwell collapsed a few years ago... Ryerde, Tania, Tsucana, Worde... I don't even know the rulers of those ones. I swiftly tell Lucius that the Lycian Council isn't going to work. He's not 100% up for it, but he still thinks it should be called to order. Dang it Lucius, we don't have time for the council to sit around and wait to figure out what to do! We need to act! By the way, I'm not doing the Merlinus paralogue. I know having a convoy earlier could come in handy, but fliers could spawn in and things could get ugly. Anyway, let's take a look at the next map in advance. ... Screw you, Axe Emblem.

eclipse Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I STRONGLY suggest using an external image hosting site rather than uploading things as attachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benice Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I agree with Eclipse! Imgur is a popular choice, (but has been a bit finicky for me at times) and Imgbox can also work very well, but is a tad slower. (In case you didn't know, you can embed images by using "Copy image location" in your photo host of choice then pasting it where you need the image.)

GlitchWarrior Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Well, I said I'd update this again, today. One small problem: I can't actually BEAT C14. It's not that I'm softlocked or anything, just... I can't actually play Axe Emblem when 90% of the enemies have a sword and a strength and speed stat. Meanwhile I'm struggling to deal DAMAGE, let alone double. About the only things I can double are Brigands, and I can barely hit any of them anyways. I don't want to discontinue the run, but... I dunno, I guess I'm feeling pretty burnt out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitchWarrior Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Maybe I could. Hey, I'm thinking of running FE8 under this set of circumstances. Last time I did that, Colm wound up NOT generating an affinity, and it absolutely broke his support with Tana (Neimi replacement). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benice Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hmm...I'll assume that you've tried this, but Hawkeye and Florina have access to lances and should be able to choke the points against the sword wielding enemies; you can just wait out the enemies that way. Alternatively, Dart may be tanky enough to hold a choke point while Hawkeye rescues Erk's replacement/saves Priscilla's village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
