>"Your unceasing blood lust has cost our tribe everything, Fight Gnome!">"If you don't stop trying to kill everyone we come across, I will be forced to banish you, to the great wastes beyond!"That was the last thing Chief Gnome said to you, before you tried to FIGHT him.And now you find yourself stuck in the middle of some enormous dust plain, mulling over what to do next.>Kick rocks>Cry>Check out the weird circular rock you're sitting on>Contemplate why your tribe couldn't accept you for who you are
>>6445740>Check out the weird circular rock you're sitting on
This rock is hurting your ass, shame you can't fight it........Or can you?Hopping off the rock, you turn and ready your fists, prepping yourself for a battle that will shake the earth itself.With your supreme tactical intellect, you analyse your opponent, looking for a weakspot.Ah, there it is! A flat shiny rectangle, embedded in the side! If you were your opponent, you would never leave an opening as obvious as this one.Kneeling yourself against the ground you begin a series of short jabs, each one filled with killing intent.The rock begins begging for its life.>HELLO CUSTOMERYour flurry of blows continues!>THANK YOU FOR PURCHASINGYour ceaseless assault refuses to cease>OUR PATENTED COMBAT TOKEN FIGHT SYSTEMYour opponent wimp- Wait, FIGHT? Did the rock just say fight?>DO YOU WISH TO INSTALL NOW?The rock's weakspot displays two green dots with words you can't read above them.FIGHT? COMBAT? Have you found a kindred spirit in this rock?Or is this another one of Jester Gnome's cruel tricks?>Press the left dot>Press the right dot, it does seem more appealing>Press the small, measly red dot that you've only just noticed
>>6445755>Press the right dot, it does seem more appealing
>>6445755>>Press the left dot
The rock has given up, it would seem and is offering its knowledge of combat and FIGHTING freely.With smug pride you firmly press the right button, some unknowable force hidden in the unreadable word draws you to it.>ACKNOWLEDGMENT RECEIVED>YOUR ENTHUSIASM IS GREATLY APPRECIATED>PLEASE PLACE ALL COGNITVE APPENDAGE ON ENGRAM PAD FOR INSTALLATIONThe rock appears to have become deranged, no doubt coping poorly with its loss.In spite of its gibbering, you manage to deduce that placing your head upon the rock is somehow the beginning of the training process.Following your deduction, turn around and rest your head in its centre.>INITIATING PROCEDURE>PLEASE REMAIN CALMCalm? When its being such a sore loser? It could almost make you laugh, if it wasn't so sad.You begin to feel strange vibrations and metallic clanks through the back of your head, when two tall, metallic prongs begin to extend upwards, on either side of you.You don't like this, this is clearly a trap, one far above the capabilities of your tribe, but a trap, nonetheless.Lurching to your feet, you see a glow forming on the end of each prong when-*BRZZZZZT*A flash of lightning zaps out, going straight through your Gnome hat, into your skull.A voice floods your mind>Welcome, to the Combat Token FIGHT SYSTEM>As we can detect you have no prior FIGHT SYSTEM installed, we will run you the basic of the CTFS.>Upon initiating combat with any perceived threats, the CTFS will activate.>You will be placed in a heighted state of cognition, allowing you to perform combative techniques you would otherwise only be able to dream of!>However, within each encounter you will be limited by the amount of COMBAT TOKENS you have.>Each TOKEN represents one discrete action you can perform within that encounter.>TOKENs come in 5 Categories:MOVEMENT - Speed, Agility, PositioningATTACK - Direct OffenseDEFENSE - Resistance and RecoveryFINESSE- Awareness and DexterityCONTROL- Communication, Coordination, CommandThe voice cuts harshly, another takes its place.- there is no SPECIAL token -- at least, not in this world -A pause, the first voice returns.>TOKENS do not have to be spent individually, they can be combined to perform more complex actions and techniques, up to your COMBO MAX>You will be given a large number of TOKENS at the beginning of combat, allocated across the categories>Your starting number of TOKENS is based on your current physical and mental qualities, but your starting ALLOCATION is up to you!>Equipment may add additional specific TOKENs>For every 3 TOKENS you spend in combat, 1 TOKEN of your choice will be returned>TOKENS reset between fights>Your current TOKEN total is 9 and your COMBO MAX is 2>How would you like your tokens to be allocated?

Abnormality detected, alerting nearest Integrity Enfor------------ ATTACK ------------A blast of red light bursts out your skin, dry dirt scorches to ash and glass, blanketing the empty landscape.And, most importantly, the rock.Its prongs melt into slag before your eyes.Crossing your arms, you stand proud, if even the earth's smartest rock can't beat you with its traps and treachery, then no opponent can.Especially now that you've got this fancy combat fight token thing in your head. AND have broken it to your will.You guess the only thing to do now is test it.But will there be any joy in FIGHTING, now that you're the strongest being in the universe?Maybe you should mull over it for a while.You go to sit on the rock when something begins to crack the scorched earth before you.You jump into a fighting stance, preparing yourself for whatever may come.A grey cylinder bursts upwards, scattering blackened ash and glass.The rock's voice emanates from it.>ASSEMBLING LOW-QUALITY GENE STRANDS>PREPARING COMBAT STRAIN DUPLICATE>PLEASE TEST YOUR COMBAT SYSTEM BEFORE IN-FIELD USAGEA posthumous trap by the rock?Or is it somehow still alive?>Face this foe, be it new or old>Move on, this foe is nothing before your newfound might

You will stand before this enemy, your victory against it will be the first tale in your legend.All who hear it will cower in fear.The cylinder has finished extending, it's roughly double your height.You smugly smirk, an old Gnomish proverb comes to mind>"The bigger they are, the harder they fall."Whirring and squelching comes from within, followed by a loud DING.>DUPLICATE READY>PREPARE TO INITIATE COMBATYou tense up as the cylinder slides open with a hiss, fog billowing out.A hulking monstrosity looms through the doorway, it's got to be the ugliest thing you've ever seen. Grabbing the side of the doorway, it leans forward, killing intent clear in its beady little eyes.A strange sensation fills your head, as time begins to slow. Visions of various ATTACKS rattle in your skull.And something else, something SPECIALFIGHT MODE ACTIVATEDTokens:> 9 ATTACK> 1 SPECIAL : ???

It begins to lumber out of the cylinder.The twinned visions twist and meld, all others vanish in their wake.*THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP*Both monster and vision plunge towards youYou close your eyes, this foe will fall in time....They snap back open, as a bolt of energy lances through your body, taking hold of every muscle.One of the monster's enormous hands is swinging towards you.But your hand moves to meet it, surrounded by a red glow.Your limbs meet, for a moment everything stops.Then comes a blast of red energy, blasting the limb away from you.As the energy fades, the monster stumbles backwards, and you behold the effects of your vast power.The offending appendage has been SCORCHED to black ash.You smirk, smugly, the rock was right, this power is beyond anything you've ever dreamt.But the FIGHT isn't over yet.The monster gets back up, clutching the crumbling remains of its hand.Rage is clear in its eyes.FIGHT MODETokens:> 8 ATTACKCombo Max is 22 out 3 BONUS METER, 1 more for BONUS TokenPreset Moves.1 ATTACK - Kick, in the stomach1 ATTACK - Punch, in the face2 ATTACK - Tackle the monster as it gets upOther (Write-in)>Rolling will be done after voting

There's no point in wasting effort on such a lowly creature, you let it saunter over to you.A simple PUNCH to the face should suffice.No being on earth is capable of withstanding two of your blows.You ready your fist, as the fatty closes in.It leads down, reaching with its remaining hand....*SMACK*Right between the eyes!The creature groans and stiffens up.It is as you expected, the sheer force of your punch caused the monster to die instantly and skip straight to rigor mortis!Heh, all in a day's work for the Stro-*BWOMP*The air is knocked out of your lungs, as what feels like a warhammer slams into your ribs.You're sent flying, and with no chance to break your fall you crash into the cracked soil.This time, you're the one to groan.How is this possible?! With the rock's power you should be unbeatable!There's no time to think, you can see the beast turning towards you through the settling dust.It's mercifully slow, you'll have enough to time to get up and try something else.FIGHT MODETokens:You are injured!
