Fire Emblem: An Equestrian Tale; Chapter 1: Honest Hearts (App needed)

[Blue Shield]

        "Understood. I fly faster than Hearth, I'll examine the force and see how many we're up against." Blue said, flying off.

        Moments later, Blue returned with the information that he needed.
        "There's ten. A majority of them are using axes. Two are archers, and I saw a couple of swordsmen... I've got a Vulnerary, that SHOULD last us the battle. And if I may give some advice, we can team up on foes for a bit of an edge..." Blue explained, "I'd be at a major disadvantage in this battle, but I can at least move everyone around the field the fastest." He finished.

[Checkmate]

Checkmate nodded.  We should try to draw them towards us. Should we attack them, we face a severe disadvantage.  Hearth, stay away from the swordsponies, they'll most likely be too fast to hit.

[Blue Shield]

_________BATTLE START!________
PLAYER PHASE


Blue Shield moves in to attempt to bait in the bandits.

[DawnsEmbrace]

Too fast, and I can't go up against swords very well.
Hearth took a few test swings with his axe.
This thing's falling apart...

[[So how are we doing this?  We don't have a grid.]]

[Blue Shield]

((Until I can get some set up, we'll have to use our imagination. I'll let you know how far Blue and the enemies move and how far they are in meters. (1 square being approxamately 10 meters or so.

***EDIT***
I have a little experience with sprite making. I can use RPG Maker's maps and sprites and upload battle updates as we go along once I make the sprites. I need to find a dragon sprite to recolor, but ponies'll be simple. I'd just need to recolor and redraw some of their mane to match the descriptions and images. Maybe add clothing, which those'll be the tougher parts.)))

[Checkmate]

((Yeah.))

Checkmate stayed behind Hearth, his horn glowing gently.

[Blue Shield]

______ENEMY PHASE________

The enemies closed in, still too far to make an attack, they made the attempt to section their archers behind a group of their axemen. Four axemen stood about twenty meters from the main chokehold where Blue stood, with an archer behind him, a second group tried to cut them off at the East exit with the other archer and two escorts. The swordsmen started toward the West. Blue and Hearth could easily make their way around to the other soldiers and eliminate them.

Current problem: Next turn would leave Blue open for a strike from an archer, or leave Hearth and Checkmate open for a massive ambush. Plan carefully.

[Checkmate]

Checkmate spoke up, trying his hardest to plan this out.  Retreat to a safer location, or else they'll surround us.  Should they come near, they'll find I'm hardly defenseless.

[Blue Shield]

__________ Player Phase____________

Blue flapped his wings as hard as he could to fall back and cover the others. He couldn't possibly take on all these axemen. The swordsmen would be a cinch, but the axemen would prove quite troublesome. Archers, on the other hoof, would only be easy IF he can block their retreat and strike. Otherwise, he'll have to hope for a hard hit...

[DawnsEmbrace]

[[...Hm...This is much harder without a visual representation...]]

"You could..."
Hearth stuttered a bit.
"...Y-you could ride me...Pick off enemies from a distance with magic while we stay somewhere safe."

[[EDIT: Technical terms, Check and Hearth pair up and Hearth flies to a place only fliers can get to.  At which point they swap, and while Check can't move, he can attack from two spaces away with magic.]]

[Checkmate]

Checkmate shook his head.  It'd slow you down.  Keep on guard, and let me strike them down as they approach.

[DawnsEmbrace]

Hearth nodded.
"I'll finish off the ones you leave, then."
He held his axe, and launched into the air.

[Checkmate]

Checkmate stepped to where soon, one of the axe wielders would be close enough for him to strike.

[Puynsi]

Jericho trots off from one of the up-hills roads, unaware of the whole situation going on, life wasnt beeing easy lately, not with rumors about a war spreading trought the country like wild-fire, too many bandits, and no one to protect the towns nor the travelers, if rumors where true, his hometown could be in troubles, so a visit should be done, only to be sure of it.

"I hope mother is okay, maybe I've been away for too long... maybe it's time to come back... "home"..."

As he troted of the hill, his heart stopped, a giant army was on his way to Canterlot, they didn't looked like anything he has ever seen before, not even the royal guards looked like that, but time was scarce, he had to hurry up.

[Blue Shield]

[[...Hm...This is much harder without a visual representation...]]

"You could..."
Hearth stuttered a bit.
"...Y-you could ride me...Pick off enemies from a distance with magic while we stay somewhere safe."

____________Enemy Phase__________________

The bandits continue their normal route, the archer at the main choke hold moves into range to Blue.

The archer strikes Blue (-10HP) 10/20 HP

Afterward, one of the archer's escorts cut infront to attack Blue.

Axeman strikes Blue (-5HP) 5/20 HP.
Blue retaliates, striking the Axeman. (-2)HP 8/10 HP

The rest close in on the group, leaving both swordsmen, an archer, and an axeman wide open for an attack. Having wasted their energy on their turn, the axeman and archer leave themselves open for attack.

________PLAYER PHASE___________

Blue flies to safety and uses a dose of the vulnerary. (2 uses left, +10 HP) 15/20 HP.

"That was too close..." Blue whistles.

[DawnsEmbrace]

[[Check decided against that, Blue.  ]]

[Checkmate]

((Yeah.))

[Blue Shield]

[[Check decided against that, Blue.  ]]

(He did? Kay... I'll have to edit a little...)

[DawnsEmbrace]

[[...Sorry about that...
I'll keep stating the technical terms of Hearth's ideas though.  Seems like a good system.]]

[Blue Shield]

((Okay, I edited a majority of the information. They're now open for attack. Blue's in a safe spot for now.))
