Watch Tower - Third Invasion

To the Watch Tower!

Each time you post here, once per day, you contribute to the prediction value at a certain rate. Your character will take post for approximately an hour and keep watch to help estimate the size of the upcoming Upset invasion. 

The more accurate your prediction, the easier it will be to determine the possibility of enemies breaking through into the town and damaging resources (or its denizens). Therefore, you will be able to figure out how much of a deficit you have in defense and how much offense you'll need to minimize the damage.

If the town succeeds and suffers no damage, all town members gain 2 CP.
If the town takes damage, but no denizens are injured, then all town members gain 1 CP.
If the town fails to defend against the attack, then no CP will be gained (and the consequences are worse). 

The percentage of prediction accuracy is increased by the use of certain instruments and tools, such as a telescope. 


There are a couple stats to consider when making the town fortification:

• Defense: The amount of defensive capability the town has against the attack. The higher it is, the longer the town can stall out against the attack. Also, this determines the risk of damage that denizens will take. 
  
• Offense: The amount of offense the town has against the attack. The higher it is, the shorter the attack will last (helping minimize the damage).
  
• Energy: The amount of energy powering structures, usually offensive ones. If there is no energy, the structures will not provide offensive power.
  
• Injury/Resource risk: The amount of damage that will result from the current defensive and offensive statistics, if the attack succeeds. This amount decreases based on a difference of the invasion count and a couple factors including offense and defensive values (and random variables). A loss is considered anything above 30% damage. 
  

The climbs up the tower for her daily survey and looks out with her telescope, only to notice that some upsets are running about in the fog...

"Damn...not again. Better set up some announcements..."

Travis gets up the watch tower, fearing the worst after the announcement was put out as he gazes toward the distant upset.

"Damn it, why is time always short for these moments?"

Komali hadn't been up on the watchtower for awhile so it was kind of nice to get some fresh air as she looked around, eventually looking for Upsets.

"It would seem they are more persistent than I had anticipated," Lionel grumbled as he looked out into the distance.

Sayo climbs to the top alone. 

"It's been a while.. somehow its a lot more beautiful, the view from here..."

Travis looks out over the watch tower toward the gathering shadows

"I should have expected them to mount more forces. time for more improvements."

She looks over and a frown forms on her face.

"I thought we were done with these things in the town..."

She takes time to scout out again...

"Our accuracy isn't good enough...damn, we need more people up here..."

He looks out carefully into the fog to see what he can size up on the force...

"Very strange...it's been quite some time since this has happened..."

Sayo's back up at the tower to see the rising number of upsets.

"Maybe I should help build some defenses..."

Komali looked through the telescope.

"Oh hey, I can see my house from here."

Zyne climbs up to the top of the tower and looks around.
What are we even looking for...?

Averia climbs up and stretched before looking through the telescope
It's been a while...

Illium climbs to the top and peers through the telescope
Oh fun...

She takes her shift at the tower and outlooks the upcoming attack...
"De masters would not be pleased to have dere newly built homes covered in de dirt dese creatures will bring..."

He sighs as he sees the upsets running about in the fog, feeling disturbed by their presence...
"This is not going to bode well for us..."

She climbs up into the tower, a bit unnerved by the size of the upcoming attack.

"J-jeez... I'm sure we can handle a crowd this big, but dang..."

Travis goes up to observe the distant upset

"Damn the calm before the storm..."

Looks on and sees the incoming attack..

"Oh my..."

At the tower again.

"Well, maybe we can do this L4D style and just camp in one corner of a house? "

More useless thoughts.

Watches the large Monster force from the Tower.

"...Well we're fucked. I wonder if there's a after afterlife?"

Scratches his chin as he ponders

Komali watched the Upsets with a bored expression. 

"They should just come already."

Lionel looks out into the fog and tries to count the Upsets.

She goes up to the watch tower, and stares out into the distance with the scope.

Travis goes up the tower and looks out again.

"If only arcane batteries were around... those upset wouldn't stand a chance. that or if mom was here."

Komali clambers up the ladder and looks around.


"Ooooo~ Here they come~!"

Lionel took his turn on watch, looking at the Upset with a determined expression.

Illium looks out through the telescope and just sighs.

Averia scans the edge of the fog and shakes her head.
This shit again...

Zyne looks out through the telescope and notices the shadows for the first time.
Holy hell...

Shizue looks on and sighs

"Let's get ready... This looks tough..."

Sirocco sighs as he looks on...

"Oh my... Those things seem... Big? Yes... Big..."

Watch tower. It's colder up here without her scarf.

"Can't we just nuke them before they get in?"

Sayo whines.

She climbs up the watch tower, checking out the oncoming wave.

"It seems we must be prepared this time."

Ruby watches the horde as they muster.  She sighs, dropping into a meditative trance and reaching out to sense their overall strengths with her mind.

May they not be as strong as they look...

Ruby returns to the tower, frowning at the large numbers.
"Oh my."  
She sits down again, to reach out with her mind and test their strengths.
I hope we're ready...

Komali sits on the edge of the watchtower and counts Upsets.

"1...2...3...6....7....3, wait I said that one already, hm..."

Lionel stood at the top of the tower and looked out over the distant hoard.
"They are growing in number..."

Johnathon looks from the tower the absurd amount of upsets coming this way

"..Well shit."

Bey leans over the edge of the watch tower, squinting. "Eeeh.. stay away creeps!" She pouts as one of the Upsets moves a little closer. "No. Don't do that. Stop."
