[Ozarck]

This pregame is weird. I didn't actually expect multiple characters when I posted my suggestion for our starting character. Oh well, I did my five actions. Feel free to continue Mad's training until game start.

[Ashsaber]

I agree it's very, very odd.

But then my basis for the game is "I have a framework of things I think would happen, and then let's improv the rest."

Mad's training is considered to be "finished". Unless there's some RP shenaniganry it won't be addressed.

Unfortunately Bobert doesn't know how to Enchant yet!

Camille runs around a lot to try and get faster.

[The Froggy Ninja]

Because he is a pathetic failure Robert slits his wrists.

[WhitiusOpus]

Harold proceeds to stab himself in the abdomen with a sharp stick to increase his endurance.

[EmeraldWind]

Bobert: "There are no research materials for Bobert to study. Then Bobert must find some! Maybe first though Bobert should see if he can figure out something from the book."

Bobert> Read through the book to find a spell that Bobert can interpret or read.

[Ashsaber]

Pre-game is now over!

(No more actions will be accepted as I compile stuff and get the ball rolling)

...

For the record, you probably won't see about 95% of the skills ever again.

ADDENDUM: I actually didn't see the TRAIN THEN MORE TRAIN message the first go-around. My bad~

[The Froggy Ninja]

Robert attempts to tread water in a thirty foot deep lake for two hours.

[Ashsaber]

While Robert won't actually be doing that, I'd like to inform you that he would've succeeded (with very little benefit, sadly).

[Ashsaber]
