[Okay, everyone! Lots going on here! So, essentially, my previous post was a lie. :/
1) The players, Jon Cook and Jack Chaos (who together made the Eclipses party) have both been kicked from the game. bicola1, under the name Bicola Rogers, has joined; welcome!
2) I'm going for it! Skills shall be implemented NOW!
READ THIS! IT EXPLAINS SKILLS!
Skills are in-battle bonuses players earn the mastery of by leveling. Skills will either be single use or constant. Single use skills will require the player to take or deal damage before each use, similar to a recharge. Single use skills are either active or passive; either an attack the user does or a bonus effect the user gets, respectively.
Constant skills are either on or off, and have small negative effects. Constant skills can only be switched from on to off or vice versa outside of battle.
Single use skills will be shown like this:
( [Skill charge] ) [Skill name]: [Skill description]. [Skill cost, if any].
The skill charge section will be a percent, or "Ready". If a single use skill is in effect (passive only), it will say "Active" before the percent.
Constant skills will be displayed like this:
( [Skill on/off] ) [Skill name]: [Skill description].
Skill on/off tells whether that skill is in effect or not.
Any questions, please ask!
^Yes, that classifies as a lot.

You just defeated two enemies in a barren tundra. More icy and fiery shadows hover all about... It may be a good idea to get away and heal for now.

"So you don't remember anything that could have been the reason you're here? That is troubling...
"Strange things have been going on lately. I see weird flashes to the West at night, and the sea has been uneasy..."

You warily begin your trek around the rim of the stone bowl. You notice that the rocks here aren't conniving and crumbly like the ones along the sides...
After some time travelling, you come across a small hole in the rim. It is big enough for you to fall into, yet appears to have little in the way of depth...

Aspero's face relaxes a little. "This enemy does not follow conventional rules. Everything is done for a purpose. Deceit is veiled in trickery... But I apologize. I should not be so quick to accuse those I trust..."
Aspero turns. "Shall we continue? Someone's bound to have heard our skirmish."

A strange warmth flows through the stone. Upon your touch, that warmth seems to reach into your hand. You shudder, startled by the contact.
When you let go of the stone, it's glow has gone away...

[Do you know where Sensei (amorboy) has gone? D: ]
As you near the castle, an unnatural silence fills the area. Nothing moves, except the occasional shimmering of the mist around the castle. The light you create improves your seeing distance none, but helps with acuity.
You manage to arrive next to the shimmering mist wall. A feeling of annoyance seems to emanate from the mist, as if it knows you're there and doesn't like it...

You wait. The shadows close in, seemingly happily... Happy that you quit? They surround you, and your vision goes fuzzy. You lose consciousness.
Something disturbs you. You are cold. So cold... You aren't fully awake, yet pain comes to greet you.
What was that? The cold feeling went away, as did the pain... A gentle voice is calling you... You want to go, but something holds you back...
