RA: [sblock]* Kallithyia returns all the pieces, even the fierce spear maidens, back to their proper place, or at least where she found them, as she patiently waited for Autolycus to finish setting the game up. *
* The Palmaid smiled curiously as she watched for him... * [/sblock]

"Oh, I've already set up the board," Autolycus explains, "At least as much as possible without the pieces. Next, I need you to pick your pieces so I can set them up too."

RA:[sblock]“Oh,” Kallithyia looked at the sets again, “well, Autolycus, which set is a good set for a beginner? I would hate to make this more difficult on myself than it needs to be…” [/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Well, I don't know. I would guess that any of them would be fine for a beginner, as long as your practise opponent is playing something relatively simple and takes it slowly, which I will do."[/SBLOCK]

RA: [sblock]“Well, in that cause I believe there is no reason why I shouldn’t chose the noble Camilla and her fierce spear maidens, is there?”
* Kallithyia smiled as she picks up her pieces but she only looks at the board not sure where to put them… * [/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Alright, then let me set them up for you here in the back rows...like so...there we go. And I'll just take the basic Praetorian squad. Then we're all set! Let me explain the basics--the goal of the game is to defeat the opponents leader and second-in-command, the commanders. If you do that, you win. Also, there's a few other ways to win, like if you destroy all the opponent's army except one commander while retaining both of your own, which is useful against some of the tougher commanders, like Camilla. If both players are down to only their commanders in equal numbers, it is a draw. The basic game involves alternating between players who each move a piece across the board based on its movement pattern and optionally attack another piece. Most pieces can only attack by moving into the defender's space, but some can attack from afar, depending on weapons. Each piece has attack and defense scores--Attack scores sometimes vary based on positioning, and defense scores are different for ranged attacks and are always lower for being attacked from the side or behind. If the attacker's attack score is higher than the defender's defense, the defender is destroyed, and the attacker can move into the spot unless she was attacking from range. Some pieces have a counterattack that might destroy them both by letting the defender also attack the attacker, though this can be negated by another ability that lets a piece strike first--for instance, Camilla is particularly deadly because she has both a counterattack and a quick strike, so if you want to attack her, you need to not only have a better attack score than her defense but also a better defense than her attack or she will kill you first--unless you attack her from range, of course."

RA: [sblock]“I see,” Kallithyia replied after intently listening to auto’s instructions, it was after all a tactical game of war and she wanted to prove herself as worthy warrior, “how do I know who is stronger and weaker than my own pieces or am I at a disadvantage because I don’t have the pieces memorized like you?”

"Well, some of the fancy sets have them all written out on the figure's base, but with these, we've gotta remember them. What I can do is write you out all of them on some papyrus if you like, and you'll have them all handy for reference. What do you think?"
(OOC: I have the basic rules made up, though I haven't actually statted out the pieces fully or anything.)
