The brave man who runs a hotel in an RPG

Humans are such creatures. When there is no rain, they can't think about it, but when it rains, they think it is noisy.

This is how I feel now. The heavy rain that lasted from last night until noon today has no tendency to stop. Affected by this heavy rain, there are only two guests this morning. I have to say that the business is bleak, and the temperature has not turned cold. So it adds to the sultriness.

Wensania and Dieter never thought about buying an umbrella, something that was never used before, so they couldn't go out to report to the mercenary union today. The three of them had to squeeze into Kane's room and gag around the table to pass the extra time before the side quest.

The scenery outside the window under the realistic 3D is no longer a dynamic map that is too fake to complain about, but a map that can truly seamlessly connect the outside world and the house. Just open the window and you can feel the feeling of frantic rain hitting your body. Glancing through the windowpane where the water flowed like a waterfall, the weeds outside the window were crushed by the huge raindrops, and the whole muddy field outside the window was sunken, filled with mud, and the mud and water mixed with grass seeds and stones. It flows in the lowlands, and I don't think it will be a long time before the entrance of our hotel will merge into a pure natural moat.

In the room, Winsania was drowsy with her chin resting on the table while hugging the pillow she brought from her room. Dieter sat upright at the table and practiced the motto "Silence is golden", but he didn't know what to think. Kane was reading the book with a title so long that it made me want to hang myself, and I couldn't go to the world with Kane because I had two extra light bulbs, so I could only frown slightly like a sad poet "Listen" to the sound of the rain outside the window - if I can stop the rain with folded hands and sincere prayers, I will do it immediately.

"Would you like to play a board game?"

About half an hour later, Kane finished reading the book. He closed the book and put it on the bookshelf beside him, and took out a simple game box from his backpack.

Windsania moved her pointed ears like a beast smelling the smell of meat, she raised her head and shouted: "What board game! Catan? Werewolf? Jack the Ripper? Mountain House horror?"

Except for the werewolf game, I have never heard of any of the strings she said. It is said that the werewolf game cannot be played by four people.

Kane opened the game box and took out the contents, found out the instruction manual and handed it to Windsania, "Neither. I'll take a look at the coffee. You can learn the rules of the game before the coffee is ready. With that, he stood up and left the room.

I have never been exposed to board games in this world, and Kane never mentioned it to me before. I didn't expect him to have this kind of thing in his private collection. Did he prepare it long ago because he wanted to play with everyone?

——Kane's cuteness is slowly rising in my heart.

After calming my restless heart, I went to the table and found a corner for myself. Winsania was studying the manual, and Dieter was playing with the map of the board game. What was left for me was only a few stacks of cards drawn in the style of a soul painter. I took a few stacks of cards and turned them over for a while, then read the short introduction on the game box, and roughly deduced the gameplay of this board game.

The name of the board game is "Exploring the Water Cave" (the subtitle also specially marked "no spoiler version"). The game designer is a priest named Christine. The designer thinks that the difficulty of Blazing Wilderness and Turing Mountain is too simple , and there is no main storyline, and the Tomb of the Bandit King is too complicated, these three adventures are not suitable for making board games, and he is not yet at the entry level for future adventures, so he chose the Water Cave as the tabletop The theme of the game, the type of the game can be regarded as adventure-based, supplemented by puzzle solving.

There are four types of cards in the board game, namely 12 professional cards, several event cards, 10 prop cards and 6 monster cards.Each continent has three representative occupations, the Eastern Continent is Wooden Armor, Ninja, and Fighter; the Western Continent is Gunner, Thief, and Pirate; the Southern Continent is Warrior, Magician, and Priest; Hunters, knights and vampires, among which vampires are special occupation cards, each occupation card is marked with health and attack power, and unique skills are on the back.Event cards include several things that are often seen in rpg games, such as encountering monsters, opening treasure chests, or organs and plots.Prop cards are similar to Monopoly, which can influence opponents and add winning chips to yourself.The monster cards from weak to strong are Death Miner, Bloodthirsty Rabbit, Caveman, Low-level Cave Snake, Vine Maiden, and the final boss Silver Witch. The attributes of the card are similar to those of professional cards.

Could it be that Kane bought this kind of thing because he wanted me to familiarize myself with the mechanism of the Water Cave in advance?

——The cuteness of Kane soared in my heart.

After reading the manual, Wensania passed it on to me. I read the manual to confirm my thoughts. This is a disguised grid game, but it adds rpg elements such as teaming up and fighting monsters. The characters in the game After death, you will be forced to return to the entrance of the cave and stop acting for one round. If you die three times, you will exit the game. The victory condition of the game is to kill the Silver Witch or survive to the end.

When we put down the instruction manual, Winsania and Dieter had already arranged the table. After the three of us understood the rules of the game, Kane came in with a hot cup of coffee. The strong smell immediately aroused my desire to speak. , I took the initiative to take a cup, and tasting hot coffee on a sweltering and rainy day is also a rare experience.

"Do you know the rules of the game?" Kane asked with a smile.

"Of course, let's start, I'm going to grow mushrooms if I don't start." Windsania rolled up her sleeves.

"Then, let's draw a professional card first."

Taking Kane's words as an opportunity, we started the first round of the game.

At the beginning, everyone's job assignments were very magical. I, a fighter, got a magician, Kane got a pirate, Windsania got a vampire, and lastly, Dieter got a clergyman. I couldn't help thinking of myself in a robe and chanting spells, Kane who was wearing a blindfold and carrying a knife to rob, Windsoria in an Earl's outfit and a cape, and Dieter who was bleaching black cloth and adding blood to people, and almost took a sip of coffee. It was sprayed out, except for the cos pirate's Kane, who is very interesting, the others are simply out of harmony.

After drawing the professions, everyone began to roll the dice to determine the order of action. Kane took the lead and threw... 1 o'clock. Under the sympathetic eyes of everyone, he coughed and handed the dice to me. I begged all the gods and let go Throw, 3 o'clock.

——How did I forget that this place should be under the control of God? Yes, it should be my daughter-in-law.

Windsania is a 5 at random, and Dieter is a 1 without any suspense. Kane and Dieter vote again, one is 3 and the other is 2. The final order of action is Wensania, me, Kane, and Dieter.

We put their respective characters at the starting|point 1-a of the cave of water on the map. Windsania is a vampire and has the privilege of choosing whether to roll the dice or move forward 6 squares. She chose to move forward 4 squares without thinking. But because there is a fork in the third grid, she had to roll the dice again. The point 4 corresponds to the hole 4. Windsania's vampire entered the hole 1 and reached 4-d1. 4-d[-] can be drawn The type of event card is Enemy Encounter. Wensania drew a picture on the back of the event card that was facing up to represent Enemy Encounter. Turning it over, it was a dead miner. Vampires can directly crush most of the monsters in this game. Pressure, a dead miner can't do anything to her at all.

After Wensania, it was my turn. I lost a 1 to 1-b after a bad start, and drew a mechanism event card according to the requirements of the grid. When I took it out, I saw that the character fell into the abyss and died, what the hell!If the magician player is dissatisfied with the event card, he can draw it again. I don’t want to open the door. Naturally, I asked to draw it again for the second time. The content of the second mechanism event card is that the fallen rock returned to 1-a , losing 1 point of life, and the magician's total life is only 2 points——Friends, have you ever seen a player who lost half of his life at the beginning of the game and returned to the starting point? That's me, Remember my name, my name is Alsis.

Kane lost 4 points after me, also re-rolled on the third square, after entering 1-d2 he drew a spring water type event card, the poisonous spring water made him lose 1 point of life, Kane's pirate became Poor little guy with 2 health points, I gave him a sympathetic look.

Dieter's lucky value has always been more cheating than me and Kane. He first cast 5 points and got stuck in the third grid, and then rolled 3 points to enter 1-d3. This is a place where only curse cards can be drawn. Fortunately, his occupation is Priests are not cursed or poisoned, which is a blessing in misfortune.

At the end of the first round, Windsania was unscathed at 1-d4, I was dying with 1 health at the start point, Kane was weak at 1-d2 with 2 health, and Dieter was at 1-d3 d[-] is also unscathed.On the basis of the first round, we have a preliminary grasp of the specific gameplay of this game, and then it becomes more handy to play. Of course, the only things that are handy are rolling dice and drawing cards. From me to Dieter, the complexion deepened in steps. Yes, my luck level is an African commoner, Kane is a chief, and Dieter is an African god blacker than squid ink. After a few rounds, I really doubt that Windsania sucked all of our luck.

My statement is well-founded.To give an example, in a certain round, Windsania and Dieter arrived at the same grid. If the vampire is in the same rank as a cleric, the vampire must retreat one grid. Windsania retreated to my grid, and the vampire cannot team up with characters from other camps. , if the characters of other camps are in the same grid as vampires, the characters of other camps must advance one grid, and I am in the same grid as Dieter like a driven duck. As soon as I touch Dieter, my luck value plummets. I encountered falling rocks, poisonous springs, cavemen, cave snakes and vine girls, but why didn't we separate, because Dieter always revived me in place!I don't want to be bound to him at all, not at all!Obviously he sacrificed a number of actions to increase the blood of the whole team. I can leave his claws and throw myself into the arms of Kane in front. He just doesn't use this skill, which caused me and him to rush to the street under the damage of a certain mechanism. A number of deaths.

As the game progressed, the rain continued to increase, as if we were stubbornly refusing to stop because we didn’t have good sound effects during the game. The winners of the first round of the game were Winsania and Kane, and Winsania took the Two of the strongest equipment and props cards, teamed up with Kane's pirates and wiped out the Silver Witch in one fell swoop. Before that, Dieter and I died and died. Dieter was the first to quit the game. I struggled until I teamed up with Kane. After returning to the team, I also retreated. What is annoying is that Kane used the pirate’s search item function to get a healing grass item card from me before I died. Afterwards, when he encountered a curse, Kane discarded my healing grass item. Card came to avoid the effect of the curse, which can be said to have squeezed out my remaining value. Could this be his revenge for my usual messy hands and feet.

A game takes about 1~2 hours. We played a total of three rounds before night fell. In the second round, I was a thief, Kane was a knight, Dieter was a fighter, and Windsania was a professional hunter. The changes did not bring me any good luck. At the end of the round, all three of our men were wiped out, and Winsania survived to the end to win the third round. , Dieter is a ninja, and Windsania is a hunter again. This time, for revenge, I used the human bomb skill of the gunman to send Wensania back to her lair when I was in the same rank as Windsania. Especially this pond fish, my self-dedication was not in vain, and Kane lived up to my expectations and became the winner of the third game.

After three innings, Kane called a stop. It was seven o'clock. Everyone was hungry. Kane packed up the board games and cold coffee and got up to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I and Winsania, who was clamoring to settle accounts with me And Dieter, who had returned to his fugue state, stayed in the house.

The guide said that the trigger point for the side quest is tonight, and it's almost dark now, so the key person the guide said should come, right?Thinking of this, I walked to the window again and looked at the winding path outside the hotel door.
