Building the Clan
Requirements / Rewards
|
Part 1
Sakura: That does it! I’m starting my own clan!
Payton: If you’re making a new gaming team, Sakura, then I’ll help! We’ll show those jerk CarnageKings that no one disrespects us!
Sakura: Your enthusiasm is appealing, but I never really thought of you as the gaming type…
Payton: Shows what you know! My little cousins LOVE videogames, and I babysit them all the time! I’m basically the Queen of Nuketown!
Nishan: Payton just made a Call of Duty reference. Has the whole world gone crazy, or are the fumes from my lab leaking again?
Payton: Hee hee!
Sakura: Well… with me, Payton, Nishan, and Danny, we’ve got four out of five. We need one more person to have a full team…
Nishan: And I know just who to ask!
Time - 6 hours
You, Sakura, and Payton follow Nishan across the school… To the Artist Hangout, where Autumn is working on a collage!
Nishan: Autumn! We’re forming a brand new team for LoC, and we want you to join!
Autumn: Huh? Why me?
Nishan: Because whenever you’re on a team for a school activity, the probability of winning increases by 80%. Trust me. I’ve done the calculations. The science checks out.
Payton: I remember you mentioned once that you play video games with your dad, right?
Autumn: Yeah! We definitely played a few marathon sessions of Duck Hunt…
Nishan: See? I’m sure you’ll be amazing at it.
Autumn: Hee hee! Okay! I’m in!
Rewards
Danny: So what’s next? Do we put on headsets and dive in?
Payton: Get some achievements? Hit some leaderboards?
Autumn: Hunt some ducks?
Sakura: No. No to all of the above. LoC is.. a little more complex than the games you’re used to. I think we need crash course in how to play. We’ll need money to buy copies… and a nice space to set up our computers…
Part 2
Sakura: You’ll need a crash course in LoC basics…
Sakura: Okay, n00bs. Need me to explain the rules?
Danny: Yes, please!
Sakura: Okay, here’s the deal. A clan has five members and each has a different role. I’m the Viking Bearserker, a monstrous armored bear, which puts me on offense. My role is to attack like crazy, draw enemies, and generally smash as much as I can.
Nishan: I’m the Panda-Medic. My job is to heal everyone, protect our towers, and use potions that weaken the enemy!
Danny: I’m following so far.
Sakura: There are three other roles left. There’s the Shogunner, a samurai sniper, who has to watch the battlefield from above, scout enemy movements, and protect the team. There’s the OmniMage, a cyborg wizard, who manipulates reality to distract the enemies, casts protective spells, and controls the terrain.
Nishan: And finally, there’s the NinjaKnight, a stealth warrior who zips around the battlefield, reinforcing defenses and taking out enemies!
Sakura: Got it?
Payton: Yes… no… kind of?
Danny: I think I understand…
Sakura: Good… because it’s time for a pop quiz! Which of these is NOT a character in LoC?
Danny: Dino Warrior.
Sakura: Nice! Next question… what is the role of a Shogunner?
Danny: Watch the battle from above.
Sakura: Yup! That’s right! Final question… which character is responsible for manipulating reality to distract and confuse enemies?
Danny: The OmniMage.
Sakura: You nailed it!
Danny: How’d I do on the quiz?
Sakura: You aced it! You really know your Legends of ClanCraft!
Danny: You might even say that I AM the Legent of ClanCraft!
Sakura: I would not say that, no.
Payton: Hee hee!
Danny: So we know the rules.
Payton: Well… Danny knows the rules. I zoned out somewhere between the OmniMagnet and the Nasty Ninja.
Autumn: I followed… mostly… but what do we do now?
Sakura: Well, we’ll need to assign roles. What do you think, Nishan?
Nishan: Hmmm… Autumn’s got her crazy Artist eye for detail. She should be the Shogunner!
Autumn: Oh! Sure! Sounds… good?
Sakura: I like it. And the OmniMage has to deal with tons of crazy chaos and particle effects… that’s sort of like managing a party…
Payton: I like parties!
Sakura: Yeah. I know. That’s what I was getting at. You’re the OmniMage.
Payton: PartyMage!
Sakura: Close enough. And that means you’re the NinjaKnight, Danny!
Danny: Sneaking around, backstabbing bad guys… yeah, I could get behind that.
Sakura: Ladies and gentlemen… we have a team!
Rewards
Payton: What’s next? Put on some 80’s power ballads and have a training montage?
Sakura: Um… actually, I was thinking we could just, you know, try playing the game.
Payton: Oh. Yeah. That works too!
Part 3
Sakura: We need to practice, stat! Find some opponents to crush!
You, Autumn, Payton, Nishan, and Sakura all sit together on PCs in the computer lab. You all log into LoC, and Sakura picks a server…
Sakura: Okay, you’re all n00bs, so we’re going to play some non-ranked games against other beginners…
Autumn: So we’re going to dive right in?
Sakura: Best way to learn to swim! All you have to do is follow my lead, and do every single thing I order you to, exactly how I order you to do it, without messing anything up! Let’s go!
A war horn sounds! The match starts… and Autumn immediately presses a button! Her character fires a bomb into the air, where it explodes, unleashing a vomit-green cloud that sprays your team with stinging, toxic showers!
Nishan: Ahhh! Autumn! What are you doing? You just blasted us all with The Endless Torrent of Acid Rain!
Autumn: Sorry! Sorry! Why would that be an option!?
Sakura: Nishan, take care of the spell! Danny, Payton, follow me! We’re attacking!
Payton: I’m on it! Just one quick question! Which button do I press to move?
Payton’s OmniMage fires a giant boxing glove that hurtles uselessly into the sky!
Payton: Nope, not that one!
Just then, Autumn’s Shogunner opens fire from the top of the tower! Her arrows zip down, nailing you, Sakura, and Payton in the back!
Payton: Ahhhh!
Danny: Jeez!
Sakura: Why, Autumn?! WHY?! What is WRONG with you?!
Autumn: I don’t know! I’m so confused! Where are the ducks?! WHERE ARE THE DUCKS?!
Nishan: This… is not going as well as I’d hoped.
Time - 10 hours
Soon enough, the game is almost over… two of your towers are destroyed. Your whole team holes up in the last one…
Sakura: This is bad. Real bad. But we can still turn this around. We just need to heal up and--
Autumn: Ooo! Ooo! I can do that! Just let me use this Health Berry!
Nishan: No! Autumn! You’re holding a thermal detonato--
Your last tower explodes from within, taking out your entire team. The warhorn plays a mournful dirge as the word ‘DEFEAT’ hangs on all your screens. In real life, you all sit in stoic silence. Sakura quietly logs you out.
Payton: That didn’t go well, did it?
Sakura: No. No, it did not.
Rewards
Sakura: That was… bar none… the WORST game of LoC I have EVER played! Danny! Payton! Where was your coordination? Were you just hitting random buttons?
Payton: Mostly…
Sakura: And Autumn! At least the other two were just being distracting! You managed to single- handedly wipe out our entire team! Were you doing that on purpose?
Autumn: No, I… I just… there was so much going on, and… and it just seems so mean to be attacking people I don’t know… and… Sigh… I’ll be honest, Sakura. I don’t think I’m the right person for this team. Not at all. It turns out playing Duck Hunt with my dad DOESN’T make me good enough to be a world-class Showrunner.
Sakura: …Shogunner.
Autumn: I rest my case. I really think someone else… anyone, really… would be better at this than me. I’m sorry, guys.
Nishan: It’s okay, Autumn. We all have a thing we’re awful at. I guess this is yours.
Nishan pats Autumn on the back, and she leaves.
Nishan: Well, that didn’t work out in the exciting-yet-predictable way I hoped. Now we need a new Shogunner…
Sakura: No more blind guesses. We need someone who’s good at giving orders… spotting details… and being ruthless.
Danny: Why don’t we survey the school to find good candidates?
Sakura: Good idea! We’ll need someone really observant to do the survey… and someone really popular to ask around…
Part 4
Sakura: We’ll need some people to canvas the school and help us find a new Shogunner…
Sakura: Okay, Eric, Jeff… we need you two to index the school so you can find us a Shogunner!
Jeff: A what now?
Danny: Let’s just say we need someone good at spotting tiny details…
Eric: Sounds like Jeff…
Danny: Someone who is also ruthless and good at giving orders.
Jeff: So… not me at all.
Eric: Don’t worry, Danny. We’ll find your Slowburner. We just need to spend some quality time canvassing the school…
Time - 14 hours
Eric and Jeff rejoin you, positively beaming…
Jeff: You are going to be thrilled… because we found the perfect person for your team!
Danny: You did?
Eric: Well, you need someone ruthless, commanding, and detail-oriented, right?
Jeff crosses the room and opens the window. Outside, you can see the cheerleading team practicing… And Mia barking orders!
Mia: HEY! You call that a pyramid? I call it a disgrace! You on the bottom! Your left show is untied! Just sloppy! And you! At the top! I CLEARLY said that everyone needs to smile! So what do you call that face, huh? If I wanted to see a grimace, I’d got to McDonalds!
Sakura: Ruthless… commanding… and detail-oriented…
Danny: That’s Mia all right!
Rewards
You meet up with Mia and fill her in on what you need…
Mia: I’m in.
Sakura: Really? Just like that?
Mia: Let me put it like this, darling. Normally, I wouldn’t be caught dead within ten feet of your little video game jamboree. But… I was there when those King Sleazes trash- talked you in the chat. I saw how horribly you were treated just for being a girl. That was NOT okay. And if I can help you put those losers in their place, to make them cry and weep and rue the day they crossed you… well, I’m in.
Nishan: She’s definitely got the ruthless part down…
Danny: We’ve got our new Shogunner. Should we go practice in the computer lab or something?
Sakura: Oh no. We don’t have time for that. If we don’t win the next qualifying match, we don’t get to participate in ClanRumble! Desperate times call for desperate measures. We need to do a LoC boot camp… At my house!
Mia: At what now?
Part 5
Sakura: Gamer boot camp. My place. Now.
Later that day, you, Nishan, Mia, and Payton drive towards the address Sakura gave you.
Payton: Ooh, we finally get to see Sakura’s house! I wonder what her family is like!
Danny: Come to think of it, I’ve never heard Sakura talk about them…
Mia: I bet they’re all just like her, all straight-laced and competitive.
Nishan: Yeah, and super tech-savvy! There’s probably next-gen consoles hooked up to a TV the size of my dinner table.
You pull up to the address and walk up to the front door, where Sakura waits, welcoming you.
Sakura: We’re burning daylight, team! Come on in.
You step inside…
Danny: Whoa!
Time - 18 hours
You enter Sakura’s home, where simple, old-fashioned furniture and rustic decor surround you!
Payton: Sakura, I’m loving the vibe! It’s got a really earthy, neo-hippie feel in here!
Nishan: I was expecting something a lot more… gamer-y? There’s not a gadget in the house!
Sakura: Yeah, yeah. My parents aren’t really big on tech. More into feng shui and yoga.
Mia: What smells so nice?
Sakura: It’s either jasmine incense or the organic kale chips my dad is baking.
Danny: I guess the apple can fall very far from the tree… and then keep rolling even further.
Sakura: Tell me about it. Anyway, my room’s down in the basement. Come on!
Rewards
You follow Sakura down to the basement… and find a high-tech gaming rig set up!
Sakura: Welcome to my happy place.
At a large table, blue lights glow from a sleek black keyboard, and a widescreen, high-definition monitor glows with the loading screen for Legends of ClanCraft.
Nishan: Now THIS is what I’m talking about! It’s like a starship bridge down here!
Sakura: All right, enough gawking. We came here for a reason! Boot camp starts now!
The team sets up their laptops around Sakura’s computer.
Sakura: I’ve put the game in training mode. No enemies, no distractions. Now log in and give me 50 in-game laps around the Dungeon Junkyard map!
Payton: In-game laps?
Mia: You know that virtual running won’t build our virtual avatar’s virtual muscles, right?
Sakura: No, but by the end of this, you’ll know the map layout front-to-back and have the hand- eye coordination of a Greek god!
Nishan: Which Greek god? Because technically, Hephaestus didn’t h--
Sakura: Just boot up!
Payton: Yes ma’am!
Mia: We’re on it!
Part 6
Sakura: You’ll have to train if you want to keep up!
Hours of drills later, Sakura is still barking orders to the rest of the team as they mash away on their keyboards.
Sakura: Last run through, people! Clear this map and we’re done! Strafe! Roll! Double-jump! Each of you owes me the loot of 100 fragged NPC’s! And I WANT my loot!
Soon, with one final explosion, thee training ends! Gold coins pop up on everyone’s monitor!
Mia: Yes!
Danny: We did it!
Payton: My fingers are cramped! I didn’t know fingers could be this cramped!
Nishan: I think I need to soak my hands in ice… but we rocked it!
Sakura: Not bad, clan! Not bad.
Rewards
Danny: Looks like we’ve made a lot of progress!
Sakura: Our basic skills have increased, yeah… but let’s see if we’re ready for a live game!
Sakura launches a real game. At first, it goes well, as the skills from your drills pay off…
Payton: Going in hot! Sakura, cover my back!
Sakura: I’ve got you! Rain of Arrows, heading your way!
But right in the clutch of a close game, Payton and Mia fall apart!
Payton: Ahhh! I’m surrounded!
Sakura: So use a spell!
Payton: Which one? There are so many!
Payton fires off a spell that makes daisies sprout all over…
Sakura: Definitely not that one! And Mia! What are you doing? You’re supposed to be covering Payton!
Mia: I’m trying to score as many hits as I can! Are you SEEING my accuracy stat?
Sakura: That’s not the point! It’s a team game!
The match ends. Your clan lost.
Sakura: Arrrgh! So close! I guess it’s back to the drills…
You pull Sakura aside and whisper quietly…
Danny: Actually, Sakura, maybe drills aren’t the answer here.
Sakura: What do you mean?
Danny: I think Payton and Mia’s problems are more… personal. We need to find a way to reach them.
Sakura: Like a team-building exercise? I know just the thing! Meet me outside.
Part 7
Sakura: Mia’s gotta learn teamwork. Desperate times call for desperate measures!
You and the team meet Sakura in the wooded back lot behind her house.
Danny: Whoa! What’s this?
In a clearing, a tall wooden wall towers over you with a thick rope hanging down its face.
Sakura: It’s a climbing wall. My parents set it up to get me to ‘spend more time outdoors’, away from my ‘gamebox machines’ so I didn’t become a ‘reclusive antisocial shut-in’. Anyway, never mind that. My record time getting over the wall is 2 minutes, 15 seconds. If you can beat that, you get a fifteen minute break.
Mia: Get out of my way now! I’ll be over this wall no problem!
Mia shoves her way to the wall and begins scrambling up the rope, when Sakura stops her…
Sakura: Not so fast. The clock doesn’t stop until EVERYONE is over. You have to beat my time as a TEAM!
Mia: What?!
Danny: This is gonna take some strategizing…
Time - 22 hours
Many failed attempts later…
Mia: All right. One more times, just like we planned!
Danny and Nishan give Mia a boost, vaulting her up to the top of the wall! She perches on top and reaches back down toward you!
Mia: Perfect! Now Payton!
As you lift Payton, Mia helps pull her up from above!
Mia: Now you two! Danny first! And use that foothold!
Danny: Got it!
You follow Payton up with help from the others!
Mia: Nishan, grab the rope!
Nishan: On it!
You help Sakura and Payton reel Nishan up the wall! Together, the four of you drop down to the other side!
Danny: Time!
Sakura: Two minutes, ten seconds! New record! Now THAT’S what I’m talking about! Good stuff, Mia. You stepped up and called the plays for your clanmates, making sure you won as a team. Exactly what a good Shogunner should do!
Mia: I guess this teamwork thing’s not as bad as I thought!
Rewards
Sakura: Remember your game faces, team! That killer instinct is just what we’re going to need during our next match!
Nishan: Our enemies will cower before us!
Mia: No mercy!
Payton: Yeah… um… Hulk smash?
Danny: Payton, what’s wrong? You don’t exactly seem enthusiastic.
Payton: I guess I’m still having some trouble with my role. Being an OmniMage means casting all these crazy spells, ‘Rain of Blades’ and ‘Summon Toxic Slime’… It’s just not me. All this violence and… you know, toxic slime. I can’t get into it or keep track of it! And I don’t think climbing walls or running virtual laps is going to change that.
Mia: Sakura… if I may offer a suggestion… maybe what Payton needs is a means to reframe the game in a way that appeals to her.
Sakura: Not following.
Mia: I’m saying, I think it’s personal. And if I know Payton, there’s one way to get her talking about al her personal issues… A slumber party!
Part 8
Sakura: Payton’s gotta find her stride. I’m sure we can hash this out while getting some R&R!
That night, you and the team lounge in Sakura’s room. You trade snacks with Nishan and Mia while Payton fusses with Sakura’s hair in front of the mirror.
Payton: You could TOTALLY pull off a fishtail braid! I could do it for you if you want! It would look sooo good on you!
Sakura: Heheh, I’ll take your word for it. You’re way better at this girly stuff than I am.
Payton: Yeah, well, unless I get better at the GAMING stuff, we’ll never beat the CarnageKings.
Nishan: You ARE getting better, Payton…
Payton: I know, but not good enough! In Call of Duty, all you have to do is run and shoot. With all these spells and towers and stats, I just don’t think I belong.
Sakura: That’s ridiculous! There’s a place for all of us in gaming! Tough girl, girly girl… it doesn’t matter!
Payton: You think so?
Sakura: Tell me this. What part of the game DO you enjoy?
Payton: Well… I like that one spell where I turn the enemies into little sheeps… that’s super cute… Oh! And the spell where I make bunnies pop out of the ground and steal their traps! And there was that spell I did one time where I turned Danny into a kitten… that was the best…
Mia: So you just like the spells involving animals?
Sakura: Payton… that’s actually a really interesting strategy! No one’s made an All Animal ! OmniMage before! If you customize your character to combo those animal spells, it just might work!
Payton: Yay! So I can play the way I want? I don’t have to change to play like other OmniMages?
Sakura: That’s right. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can take it up with ME.
Payton: Woo! Animal Magic all day!
Rewards
The next day, you drive back to campus. Sakura addresses the team…
Sakura: All right, people. We have our qualifying match scheduled for this afternoon. I gotta say… when I first pulled together this ragtag bunch of misfits, I wasn’t sure we’d measure up to ClanRumble standards…
Mia: Hey! Did you just call me ‘ragtag’?
Sakura: The point is, I’m impressed! I’m glad to have you guys as my clanmates. I really like our chances today. So relax, stay frosty, and we should be--
Just then, a chime rings out from Sakura’s phone! Sakura pulls it out and reads aloud…
Sakura: It’s a text from AlphaDogg, my old teammate. ‘The CarnageKing are looking forward to watching a GIRL try to lead a clan. So TRY not to choke. But if you totally blow it, you can always come back and be our cheerleader! I bet you’d look REAL good in that short skirt!’
Nishan: What a jerk! I mean, not that you’d look bad, but… you know what I mean!
Mia: In that context, was ‘cheerleader’ supposed to be an insult?
Danny: Pay no attention to him, Sakura.
You pull in to the parking lot at school and exit the car. As you walk toward the building, you notice that Sakura lags behind…
Danny: Something wrong?
Sakura: …yes. We need an emergency clan meeting. Now.
Part 9
Sakura: Emergency clan meeting!
You and your teammates follow Sakura to a clearing on campus.
Payton: What’s up, Sakura? Our match is about to start!
Danny: She’s right. We should get to the computer lab soon…
Nishan: Is something wrong?
Sakura: Of course there is! We’re not ready.
Danny: What? But we’re better than ever!
Sakura: Well, it’s not good enough! I’ll… I’ll postpone the match until we’ve had enough time to train!
Mia: After all we went through?
Sakura: I’m the clan leader, and I say we postpone. Anyone got a problem with that?!
There is a stunned, loaded silence, until…
Nishan: Yeah… I do!
Time - 19 hours
Sakura: Did I hear you right, Nishan? Do you have a problem with me postponing the match?
Nishan: Sakura, it’s okay if you’re nervous.
Sakura: ‘Nervous’?! I am NOT some weak little girl!
Nishan: I know that! I know you better than anyone! So the fact that you’re lashing out at your friends all of a sudden lets me know that something’s really bothering you! So whatever it is, don’t bottle it up!
Danny: He’s right, Sakura. We’re your teammates. We’re all in this together.
Sakura: You guys don’t understand. I’m the first female clan leader to apply for ClanRumble. If I mess this up, it’s not just a failure for ME. People will see it as a failure for ALL girl gamers!
Mia: Sakura, I mean this in the best way possible… who CARES how people see it? Do what you love because you love it!
Payton: Yeah! If you win, you win! And if you lose…
Danny: You’ll be back again next year, and ALL of us will have your back!
Sakura: …yeah?
Nishan: Yeah. Every single one of us.
Sakura: Well then… let’s go in there and crush it!
Payton: Woooo!
The clan starts toward the computer lab, striding confidently…
Sakura: Oh, wait! I almost forgot! Before we go in there, we need a name for our clan! Something unforgettable… so our opponents never forget who beat them!
Danny: How about The Phoenix Downs!
Nishan: ‘The Phoenix Downs’?
Danny: Yeah! Just when you think you have us beat… we get right back up again!
Sakura: Like a phoenix from the ashes! Danny, it’s perfect! I love it! Phoenix Downs… roll out!
Rewards
You stand shoulder to shoulder with your clanmates as you stride into the computer lab.
Nishan: Looks like the gaming rigs and video displays are just about hooked up!
Sakura: Everyone ready?
Danny: You bet!
Mia: But let’s get the homefield advantage! Take it from me, some cheering can make all the difference!
Payton: She’s right! Let’s tell all the different cliques around the school about our match! I’m sure they’ll come support!
Part 10
Sakura: It’s time for the qualifying match. Bring it!
All the students in your school gather around the lab to cheer your team on! You and your teammates boot up your computers…
Hsin: Go Phoenix Downs! You’ve got retro charm, and nothing can beat that!
John: Yeah! Do something awesome and score a bunch of points! Or whatever!
Olivia: You know what gets hipster cred? Winning!
Danny: Looks like almost everyone in the school turned out…
Sakura: I know! Who knew so many people cared about eSports?
Payton: It’s not about eSports, silly! They care about us!
Mia: Now let’s get in there and make them proud!
The warhorn blares! The match starts…
Nishan: Mia! Watch for invaders!
Mia: I see movement south-south-east! Could be a cloaking spell! Payton, help me out!
Payton: I unleash my attack penguins!
A dozen penguins appear, spraying ice all over the quadrant… and freezing two enemy attackers in giant ice crystals!
Payton: Let it go, let it go, I am one with the wind and skyyyyyyy…
Sakura: Perfect! Now follow me, Danny… we’re going in!
Time - 23 hours
The game is almost over… both teams have one tower left… and the battlefield is scorched black with craters and animal tracks! As the rest of the team defends your tower, you and Sakura creep towards the last enemy tower…
Sakura: Okay, Danny… I’m going to distract them with a Bearserker Salmon Scramble… and then I need you to use the NinjaWarp move to teleport into their tower and seize it! Can you do that?
Danny: I’m on it!
Sakura bursts around the corner, surfing towards two enemies on a sea of leaping salmon! The enemies rush her, trying to block her path…
Danny: Here goes!
You hit the button for NinjaWarp! You vanish in a puff of smoke… and appear right in the enemy’s tower! With a well-timed attack, you rush over, hurling a flare bomb into the tower’s heart… And it explodes in a pillar of flame! The war-horn bellows the ballad of victory! You’ve won!
Nishan: We… we did it! We actually did it!
Mia: There’s nothing we can’t do!
Payton: We’re the best at everything ever!
Sakura: Phoenix Downs for… the… WIN!
Rewards
The computer lab empties out. You and your teammates huddle up…
Sakura: Guys… I can’t tell you how proud I am of you. We just won our first big match! We’re officially in ClanRumble!
Mia: You’d better believe we are! Our clan is CLEARLY superior!
Sakura: Seriously though. This isn’t just a victory for us. It’s a victory for everyone who’s been doubted or shut out or trash-talked. Together, we’re going to show the gaming world that it doesn’t matter what gender you are or what clique you come from… all that matters is how well you play! We’re going to--
Sakura is cut off by a ding from her computer. She has an email!
Sakura: It’s from AlphaDogg… ‘Saw your win. Real good for a GIRL… but don’t get any ideas. You’ve still got nothing on us! Don’t worry though… if you send us some bikini pics, we MIGHT just go easy on you! LOL!’
Sakura deletes the email and turns back to you.
Sakura: Get ready to train some more, team. We’ve got some CarnageKinds to crush!
Will Sakura’s new team beat her old one? Do they have what it takes to win the ClanRumble? Find out in our next quest!
Sakura: That does it! I’m starting my own clan!
- Danny
- Sakura
- Payton
Payton: If you’re making a new gaming team, Sakura, then I’ll help! We’ll show those jerk CarnageKings that no one disrespects us!
Sakura: Your enthusiasm is appealing, but I never really thought of you as the gaming type…
Payton: Shows what you know! My little cousins LOVE videogames, and I babysit them all the time! I’m basically the Queen of Nuketown!
Nishan: Payton just made a Call of Duty reference. Has the whole world gone crazy, or are the fumes from my lab leaking again?
Payton: Hee hee!
Sakura: Well… with me, Payton, Nishan, and Danny, we’ve got four out of five. We need one more person to have a full team…
Nishan: And I know just who to ask!
Time - 6 hours
You, Sakura, and Payton follow Nishan across the school… To the Artist Hangout, where Autumn is working on a collage!
Nishan: Autumn! We’re forming a brand new team for LoC, and we want you to join!
Autumn: Huh? Why me?
Nishan: Because whenever you’re on a team for a school activity, the probability of winning increases by 80%. Trust me. I’ve done the calculations. The science checks out.
Payton: I remember you mentioned once that you play video games with your dad, right?
Autumn: Yeah! We definitely played a few marathon sessions of Duck Hunt…
Nishan: See? I’m sure you’ll be amazing at it.
Autumn: Hee hee! Okay! I’m in!
Rewards
- 200 XP
Danny: So what’s next? Do we put on headsets and dive in?
Payton: Get some achievements? Hit some leaderboards?
Autumn: Hunt some ducks?
Sakura: No. No to all of the above. LoC is.. a little more complex than the games you’re used to. I think we need crash course in how to play. We’ll need money to buy copies… and a nice space to set up our computers…
Part 2
Sakura: You’ll need a crash course in LoC basics…
- Spend 500,000 coins
- Learn game
- Have 38 unlocked Plots
Sakura: Okay, n00bs. Need me to explain the rules?
Danny: Yes, please!
Sakura: Okay, here’s the deal. A clan has five members and each has a different role. I’m the Viking Bearserker, a monstrous armored bear, which puts me on offense. My role is to attack like crazy, draw enemies, and generally smash as much as I can.
Nishan: I’m the Panda-Medic. My job is to heal everyone, protect our towers, and use potions that weaken the enemy!
Danny: I’m following so far.
Sakura: There are three other roles left. There’s the Shogunner, a samurai sniper, who has to watch the battlefield from above, scout enemy movements, and protect the team. There’s the OmniMage, a cyborg wizard, who manipulates reality to distract the enemies, casts protective spells, and controls the terrain.
Nishan: And finally, there’s the NinjaKnight, a stealth warrior who zips around the battlefield, reinforcing defenses and taking out enemies!
Sakura: Got it?
Payton: Yes… no… kind of?
Danny: I think I understand…
Sakura: Good… because it’s time for a pop quiz! Which of these is NOT a character in LoC?
Danny: Dino Warrior.
Sakura: Nice! Next question… what is the role of a Shogunner?
Danny: Watch the battle from above.
Sakura: Yup! That’s right! Final question… which character is responsible for manipulating reality to distract and confuse enemies?
Danny: The OmniMage.
Sakura: You nailed it!
Danny: How’d I do on the quiz?
Sakura: You aced it! You really know your Legends of ClanCraft!
Danny: You might even say that I AM the Legent of ClanCraft!
Sakura: I would not say that, no.
Payton: Hee hee!
Danny: So we know the rules.
Payton: Well… Danny knows the rules. I zoned out somewhere between the OmniMagnet and the Nasty Ninja.
Autumn: I followed… mostly… but what do we do now?
Sakura: Well, we’ll need to assign roles. What do you think, Nishan?
Nishan: Hmmm… Autumn’s got her crazy Artist eye for detail. She should be the Shogunner!
Autumn: Oh! Sure! Sounds… good?
Sakura: I like it. And the OmniMage has to deal with tons of crazy chaos and particle effects… that’s sort of like managing a party…
Payton: I like parties!
Sakura: Yeah. I know. That’s what I was getting at. You’re the OmniMage.
Payton: PartyMage!
Sakura: Close enough. And that means you’re the NinjaKnight, Danny!
Danny: Sneaking around, backstabbing bad guys… yeah, I could get behind that.
Sakura: Ladies and gentlemen… we have a team!

Payton: What’s next? Put on some 80’s power ballads and have a training montage?
Sakura: Um… actually, I was thinking we could just, you know, try playing the game.
Payton: Oh. Yeah. That works too!
Part 3
Sakura: We need to practice, stat! Find some opponents to crush!
- Danny
- Sakura
You, Autumn, Payton, Nishan, and Sakura all sit together on PCs in the computer lab. You all log into LoC, and Sakura picks a server…
Sakura: Okay, you’re all n00bs, so we’re going to play some non-ranked games against other beginners…
Autumn: So we’re going to dive right in?
Sakura: Best way to learn to swim! All you have to do is follow my lead, and do every single thing I order you to, exactly how I order you to do it, without messing anything up! Let’s go!
A war horn sounds! The match starts… and Autumn immediately presses a button! Her character fires a bomb into the air, where it explodes, unleashing a vomit-green cloud that sprays your team with stinging, toxic showers!
Nishan: Ahhh! Autumn! What are you doing? You just blasted us all with The Endless Torrent of Acid Rain!
Autumn: Sorry! Sorry! Why would that be an option!?
Sakura: Nishan, take care of the spell! Danny, Payton, follow me! We’re attacking!
Payton: I’m on it! Just one quick question! Which button do I press to move?
Payton’s OmniMage fires a giant boxing glove that hurtles uselessly into the sky!
Payton: Nope, not that one!
Just then, Autumn’s Shogunner opens fire from the top of the tower! Her arrows zip down, nailing you, Sakura, and Payton in the back!
Payton: Ahhhh!
Danny: Jeez!
Sakura: Why, Autumn?! WHY?! What is WRONG with you?!
Autumn: I don’t know! I’m so confused! Where are the ducks?! WHERE ARE THE DUCKS?!
Nishan: This… is not going as well as I’d hoped.
Time - 10 hours
Soon enough, the game is almost over… two of your towers are destroyed. Your whole team holes up in the last one…
Sakura: This is bad. Real bad. But we can still turn this around. We just need to heal up and--
Autumn: Ooo! Ooo! I can do that! Just let me use this Health Berry!
Nishan: No! Autumn! You’re holding a thermal detonato--
Your last tower explodes from within, taking out your entire team. The warhorn plays a mournful dirge as the word ‘DEFEAT’ hangs on all your screens. In real life, you all sit in stoic silence. Sakura quietly logs you out.
Payton: That didn’t go well, did it?
Sakura: No. No, it did not.
Rewards
- 200 XP
Sakura: That was… bar none… the WORST game of LoC I have EVER played! Danny! Payton! Where was your coordination? Were you just hitting random buttons?
Payton: Mostly…
Sakura: And Autumn! At least the other two were just being distracting! You managed to single- handedly wipe out our entire team! Were you doing that on purpose?
Autumn: No, I… I just… there was so much going on, and… and it just seems so mean to be attacking people I don’t know… and… Sigh… I’ll be honest, Sakura. I don’t think I’m the right person for this team. Not at all. It turns out playing Duck Hunt with my dad DOESN’T make me good enough to be a world-class Showrunner.
Sakura: …Shogunner.
Autumn: I rest my case. I really think someone else… anyone, really… would be better at this than me. I’m sorry, guys.
Nishan: It’s okay, Autumn. We all have a thing we’re awful at. I guess this is yours.
Nishan pats Autumn on the back, and she leaves.
Nishan: Well, that didn’t work out in the exciting-yet-predictable way I hoped. Now we need a new Shogunner…
Sakura: No more blind guesses. We need someone who’s good at giving orders… spotting details… and being ruthless.
Danny: Why don’t we survey the school to find good candidates?
Sakura: Good idea! We’ll need someone really observant to do the survey… and someone really popular to ask around…
Part 4
Sakura: We’ll need some people to canvas the school and help us find a new Shogunner…
- A Level 7+ Homecoming Classmate (Eric)
- A Level 7+ Wallflower (Jeff)
Sakura: Okay, Eric, Jeff… we need you two to index the school so you can find us a Shogunner!
Jeff: A what now?
Danny: Let’s just say we need someone good at spotting tiny details…
Eric: Sounds like Jeff…
Danny: Someone who is also ruthless and good at giving orders.
Jeff: So… not me at all.
Eric: Don’t worry, Danny. We’ll find your Slowburner. We just need to spend some quality time canvassing the school…
Time - 14 hours
Eric and Jeff rejoin you, positively beaming…
Jeff: You are going to be thrilled… because we found the perfect person for your team!
Danny: You did?
Eric: Well, you need someone ruthless, commanding, and detail-oriented, right?
Jeff crosses the room and opens the window. Outside, you can see the cheerleading team practicing… And Mia barking orders!
Mia: HEY! You call that a pyramid? I call it a disgrace! You on the bottom! Your left show is untied! Just sloppy! And you! At the top! I CLEARLY said that everyone needs to smile! So what do you call that face, huh? If I wanted to see a grimace, I’d got to McDonalds!
Sakura: Ruthless… commanding… and detail-oriented…
Danny: That’s Mia all right!

You meet up with Mia and fill her in on what you need…
Mia: I’m in.
Sakura: Really? Just like that?
Mia: Let me put it like this, darling. Normally, I wouldn’t be caught dead within ten feet of your little video game jamboree. But… I was there when those King Sleazes trash- talked you in the chat. I saw how horribly you were treated just for being a girl. That was NOT okay. And if I can help you put those losers in their place, to make them cry and weep and rue the day they crossed you… well, I’m in.
Nishan: She’s definitely got the ruthless part down…
Danny: We’ve got our new Shogunner. Should we go practice in the computer lab or something?
Sakura: Oh no. We don’t have time for that. If we don’t win the next qualifying match, we don’t get to participate in ClanRumble! Desperate times call for desperate measures. We need to do a LoC boot camp… At my house!
Mia: At what now?
Part 5
Sakura: Gamer boot camp. My place. Now.
- Danny
- Payton
- Mia
Later that day, you, Nishan, Mia, and Payton drive towards the address Sakura gave you.
Payton: Ooh, we finally get to see Sakura’s house! I wonder what her family is like!
Danny: Come to think of it, I’ve never heard Sakura talk about them…
Mia: I bet they’re all just like her, all straight-laced and competitive.
Nishan: Yeah, and super tech-savvy! There’s probably next-gen consoles hooked up to a TV the size of my dinner table.
You pull up to the address and walk up to the front door, where Sakura waits, welcoming you.
Sakura: We’re burning daylight, team! Come on in.
You step inside…
Danny: Whoa!
Time - 18 hours
You enter Sakura’s home, where simple, old-fashioned furniture and rustic decor surround you!
Payton: Sakura, I’m loving the vibe! It’s got a really earthy, neo-hippie feel in here!
Nishan: I was expecting something a lot more… gamer-y? There’s not a gadget in the house!
Sakura: Yeah, yeah. My parents aren’t really big on tech. More into feng shui and yoga.
Mia: What smells so nice?
Sakura: It’s either jasmine incense or the organic kale chips my dad is baking.
Danny: I guess the apple can fall very far from the tree… and then keep rolling even further.
Sakura: Tell me about it. Anyway, my room’s down in the basement. Come on!

You follow Sakura down to the basement… and find a high-tech gaming rig set up!
Sakura: Welcome to my happy place.
At a large table, blue lights glow from a sleek black keyboard, and a widescreen, high-definition monitor glows with the loading screen for Legends of ClanCraft.
Nishan: Now THIS is what I’m talking about! It’s like a starship bridge down here!
Sakura: All right, enough gawking. We came here for a reason! Boot camp starts now!
The team sets up their laptops around Sakura’s computer.
Sakura: I’ve put the game in training mode. No enemies, no distractions. Now log in and give me 50 in-game laps around the Dungeon Junkyard map!
Payton: In-game laps?
Mia: You know that virtual running won’t build our virtual avatar’s virtual muscles, right?
Sakura: No, but by the end of this, you’ll know the map layout front-to-back and have the hand- eye coordination of a Greek god!
Nishan: Which Greek god? Because technically, Hephaestus didn’t h--
Sakura: Just boot up!
Payton: Yes ma’am!
Mia: We’re on it!
Part 6
Sakura: You’ll have to train if you want to keep up!
- Level Mia
- Level Payton
Hours of drills later, Sakura is still barking orders to the rest of the team as they mash away on their keyboards.
Sakura: Last run through, people! Clear this map and we’re done! Strafe! Roll! Double-jump! Each of you owes me the loot of 100 fragged NPC’s! And I WANT my loot!
Soon, with one final explosion, thee training ends! Gold coins pop up on everyone’s monitor!
Mia: Yes!
Danny: We did it!
Payton: My fingers are cramped! I didn’t know fingers could be this cramped!
Nishan: I think I need to soak my hands in ice… but we rocked it!
Sakura: Not bad, clan! Not bad.

Danny: Looks like we’ve made a lot of progress!
Sakura: Our basic skills have increased, yeah… but let’s see if we’re ready for a live game!
Sakura launches a real game. At first, it goes well, as the skills from your drills pay off…
Payton: Going in hot! Sakura, cover my back!
Sakura: I’ve got you! Rain of Arrows, heading your way!
But right in the clutch of a close game, Payton and Mia fall apart!
Payton: Ahhh! I’m surrounded!
Sakura: So use a spell!
Payton: Which one? There are so many!
Payton fires off a spell that makes daisies sprout all over…
Sakura: Definitely not that one! And Mia! What are you doing? You’re supposed to be covering Payton!
Mia: I’m trying to score as many hits as I can! Are you SEEING my accuracy stat?
Sakura: That’s not the point! It’s a team game!
The match ends. Your clan lost.
Sakura: Arrrgh! So close! I guess it’s back to the drills…
You pull Sakura aside and whisper quietly…
Danny: Actually, Sakura, maybe drills aren’t the answer here.
Sakura: What do you mean?
Danny: I think Payton and Mia’s problems are more… personal. We need to find a way to reach them.
Sakura: Like a team-building exercise? I know just the thing! Meet me outside.
Part 7
Sakura: Mia’s gotta learn teamwork. Desperate times call for desperate measures!
- Mia
- Sakura
You and the team meet Sakura in the wooded back lot behind her house.
Danny: Whoa! What’s this?
In a clearing, a tall wooden wall towers over you with a thick rope hanging down its face.
Sakura: It’s a climbing wall. My parents set it up to get me to ‘spend more time outdoors’, away from my ‘gamebox machines’ so I didn’t become a ‘reclusive antisocial shut-in’. Anyway, never mind that. My record time getting over the wall is 2 minutes, 15 seconds. If you can beat that, you get a fifteen minute break.
Mia: Get out of my way now! I’ll be over this wall no problem!
Mia shoves her way to the wall and begins scrambling up the rope, when Sakura stops her…
Sakura: Not so fast. The clock doesn’t stop until EVERYONE is over. You have to beat my time as a TEAM!
Mia: What?!
Danny: This is gonna take some strategizing…
Time - 22 hours
Many failed attempts later…
Mia: All right. One more times, just like we planned!
Danny and Nishan give Mia a boost, vaulting her up to the top of the wall! She perches on top and reaches back down toward you!
Mia: Perfect! Now Payton!
As you lift Payton, Mia helps pull her up from above!
Mia: Now you two! Danny first! And use that foothold!
Danny: Got it!
You follow Payton up with help from the others!
Mia: Nishan, grab the rope!
Nishan: On it!
You help Sakura and Payton reel Nishan up the wall! Together, the four of you drop down to the other side!
Danny: Time!
Sakura: Two minutes, ten seconds! New record! Now THAT’S what I’m talking about! Good stuff, Mia. You stepped up and called the plays for your clanmates, making sure you won as a team. Exactly what a good Shogunner should do!
Mia: I guess this teamwork thing’s not as bad as I thought!

Sakura: Remember your game faces, team! That killer instinct is just what we’re going to need during our next match!
Nishan: Our enemies will cower before us!
Mia: No mercy!
Payton: Yeah… um… Hulk smash?
Danny: Payton, what’s wrong? You don’t exactly seem enthusiastic.
Payton: I guess I’m still having some trouble with my role. Being an OmniMage means casting all these crazy spells, ‘Rain of Blades’ and ‘Summon Toxic Slime’… It’s just not me. All this violence and… you know, toxic slime. I can’t get into it or keep track of it! And I don’t think climbing walls or running virtual laps is going to change that.
Mia: Sakura… if I may offer a suggestion… maybe what Payton needs is a means to reframe the game in a way that appeals to her.
Sakura: Not following.
Mia: I’m saying, I think it’s personal. And if I know Payton, there’s one way to get her talking about al her personal issues… A slumber party!
Part 8
Sakura: Payton’s gotta find her stride. I’m sure we can hash this out while getting some R&R!
- Complete a Party with Sakura and Payton
That night, you and the team lounge in Sakura’s room. You trade snacks with Nishan and Mia while Payton fusses with Sakura’s hair in front of the mirror.
Payton: You could TOTALLY pull off a fishtail braid! I could do it for you if you want! It would look sooo good on you!
Sakura: Heheh, I’ll take your word for it. You’re way better at this girly stuff than I am.
Payton: Yeah, well, unless I get better at the GAMING stuff, we’ll never beat the CarnageKings.
Nishan: You ARE getting better, Payton…
Payton: I know, but not good enough! In Call of Duty, all you have to do is run and shoot. With all these spells and towers and stats, I just don’t think I belong.
Sakura: That’s ridiculous! There’s a place for all of us in gaming! Tough girl, girly girl… it doesn’t matter!
Payton: You think so?
Sakura: Tell me this. What part of the game DO you enjoy?
Payton: Well… I like that one spell where I turn the enemies into little sheeps… that’s super cute… Oh! And the spell where I make bunnies pop out of the ground and steal their traps! And there was that spell I did one time where I turned Danny into a kitten… that was the best…
Mia: So you just like the spells involving animals?
Sakura: Payton… that’s actually a really interesting strategy! No one’s made an All Animal ! OmniMage before! If you customize your character to combo those animal spells, it just might work!
Payton: Yay! So I can play the way I want? I don’t have to change to play like other OmniMages?
Sakura: That’s right. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can take it up with ME.
Payton: Woo! Animal Magic all day!

The next day, you drive back to campus. Sakura addresses the team…
Sakura: All right, people. We have our qualifying match scheduled for this afternoon. I gotta say… when I first pulled together this ragtag bunch of misfits, I wasn’t sure we’d measure up to ClanRumble standards…
Mia: Hey! Did you just call me ‘ragtag’?
Sakura: The point is, I’m impressed! I’m glad to have you guys as my clanmates. I really like our chances today. So relax, stay frosty, and we should be--
Just then, a chime rings out from Sakura’s phone! Sakura pulls it out and reads aloud…
Sakura: It’s a text from AlphaDogg, my old teammate. ‘The CarnageKing are looking forward to watching a GIRL try to lead a clan. So TRY not to choke. But if you totally blow it, you can always come back and be our cheerleader! I bet you’d look REAL good in that short skirt!’
Nishan: What a jerk! I mean, not that you’d look bad, but… you know what I mean!
Mia: In that context, was ‘cheerleader’ supposed to be an insult?
Danny: Pay no attention to him, Sakura.
You pull in to the parking lot at school and exit the car. As you walk toward the building, you notice that Sakura lags behind…
Danny: Something wrong?
Sakura: …yes. We need an emergency clan meeting. Now.
Part 9
Sakura: Emergency clan meeting!
- Sakura
You and your teammates follow Sakura to a clearing on campus.
Payton: What’s up, Sakura? Our match is about to start!
Danny: She’s right. We should get to the computer lab soon…
Nishan: Is something wrong?
Sakura: Of course there is! We’re not ready.
Danny: What? But we’re better than ever!
Sakura: Well, it’s not good enough! I’ll… I’ll postpone the match until we’ve had enough time to train!
Mia: After all we went through?
Sakura: I’m the clan leader, and I say we postpone. Anyone got a problem with that?!
There is a stunned, loaded silence, until…
Nishan: Yeah… I do!
Time - 19 hours
Sakura: Did I hear you right, Nishan? Do you have a problem with me postponing the match?
Nishan: Sakura, it’s okay if you’re nervous.
Sakura: ‘Nervous’?! I am NOT some weak little girl!
Nishan: I know that! I know you better than anyone! So the fact that you’re lashing out at your friends all of a sudden lets me know that something’s really bothering you! So whatever it is, don’t bottle it up!
Danny: He’s right, Sakura. We’re your teammates. We’re all in this together.
Sakura: You guys don’t understand. I’m the first female clan leader to apply for ClanRumble. If I mess this up, it’s not just a failure for ME. People will see it as a failure for ALL girl gamers!
Mia: Sakura, I mean this in the best way possible… who CARES how people see it? Do what you love because you love it!
Payton: Yeah! If you win, you win! And if you lose…
Danny: You’ll be back again next year, and ALL of us will have your back!
Sakura: …yeah?
Nishan: Yeah. Every single one of us.
Sakura: Well then… let’s go in there and crush it!
Payton: Woooo!
The clan starts toward the computer lab, striding confidently…
Sakura: Oh, wait! I almost forgot! Before we go in there, we need a name for our clan! Something unforgettable… so our opponents never forget who beat them!
Danny: How about The Phoenix Downs!
Nishan: ‘The Phoenix Downs’?
Danny: Yeah! Just when you think you have us beat… we get right back up again!
Sakura: Like a phoenix from the ashes! Danny, it’s perfect! I love it! Phoenix Downs… roll out!

Sakura: It’s time for the qualifying match. Bring it!

Hsin: Go Phoenix Downs! You’ve got retro charm, and nothing can beat that!
John: Yeah! Do something awesome and score a bunch of points! Or whatever!
Olivia: You know what gets hipster cred? Winning!
Danny: Looks like almost everyone in the school turned out…
Sakura: I know! Who knew so many people cared about eSports?
Payton: It’s not about eSports, silly! They care about us!
Mia: Now let’s get in there and make them proud!
The warhorn blares! The match starts…
Nishan: Mia! Watch for invaders!
Mia: I see movement south-south-east! Could be a cloaking spell! Payton, help me out!
Payton: I unleash my attack penguins!
A dozen penguins appear, spraying ice all over the quadrant… and freezing two enemy attackers in giant ice crystals!
Payton: Let it go, let it go, I am one with the wind and skyyyyyyy…

The game is almost over… both teams have one tower left… and the battlefield is scorched black with craters and animal tracks! As the rest of the team defends your tower, you and Sakura creep towards the last enemy tower…
Sakura: Okay, Danny… I’m going to distract them with a Bearserker Salmon Scramble… and then I need you to use the NinjaWarp move to teleport into their tower and seize it! Can you do that?
Danny: I’m on it!
Sakura bursts around the corner, surfing towards two enemies on a sea of leaping salmon! The enemies rush her, trying to block her path…
Danny: Here goes!
You hit the button for NinjaWarp! You vanish in a puff of smoke… and appear right in the enemy’s tower! With a well-timed attack, you rush over, hurling a flare bomb into the tower’s heart… And it explodes in a pillar of flame! The war-horn bellows the ballad of victory! You’ve won!

Sakura: Seriously though. This isn’t just a victory for us. It’s a victory for everyone who’s been doubted or shut out or trash-talked.
