Roll to Dodge: Savral is a forum game hosted by Cathari Sarad in the TV Tropes Roll to Dodge thread.On June 11, 2014, Cathari Sarad took over as Game Master, as the previous GM, Fulcanelli, had been absent.From there, things started going downhill. Abusing her GM’s authority, Cathari Sarad ascended to godhood, destroyed any trace of Fulcanelli’s world, and then replaced it with her own. On top of that, she removed all of the other players’ god-like powers and reduced them to disembodied souls. Thousands of years later, these souls would take physical form once again, and now they must navigate through a world filled with political strife, powerful witches, and demonic unicorns.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Roll to Dodge takes place in an ancient-medieval fantasy setting, known as Savral. While technically a continuation of the main thread, Savral has many stylistic differences from the sessions run by previous game masters. Because of its original setting, Savral does away with the crossover elements that characterized the majority of the thread before it. Furthermore, players are constrained by the features of their class and race, which they must select before fully joining the game. A player’s success not only depends on what roll they get, but also what action they took and the circumstances surrounding them. As a result, players must rely on analyzing their surroundings and using their classes’ strengths to their advantage.A summary of the events so far can be found on this recap page.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })However, on Dec 3, 2015, Cathari Sarad stepped down as GM, and capnrecked became the new GM. This had effectively ended the story of Savral as capnrecked, taking on the role of a god named Husniya Tujjar, had reshaped the withered world of Savral into a new world called Nur...which unfortunately ended after some controversy regarding a more complex system capnrecked was hoping to introduce. Lime Kid is now the new GM in capnrecked's absence, and the world has been reset once more, this time with more focus on adventuring and humor than hopelessness, dangerous monsters, and politics. Lime Kid's run as GM starts here. | |

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_14e41a53 | comment |
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: The Witch Jadice seems fond of this. When Kayne meets her, she introduces herself as a benevolent angel. Under this guise, she tries convincing him to slay the lich Enri, a well-intentioned necromancer ruling over the Gajj desert. Later, she convinces Jon that she’s the goddess Imari. Considering what happens after she teleports him out of the shade mine he’s in at the time, she may have had other purposes in mind for him. It’s also heavily implied that she’s disguising as the Seer of Imari, using her position to lead the shades in a holy war against Keran so she can expand her sphere of influence. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Witch Cathy, being the in-game personification of the game master, seems especially prone to blurring the lines between in-game events and out-of-game conversations. The following conversation on turns 115 and 116, where Cathy is torturing Math's character, illustrates this: | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: While Savral adopts an ancient-medieval time frame for the most part, there are several elements which come from notably different time frames. The witches in particular tend not to blend in with the ancient-medieval aesthetic, especially with regards to their clothing. The Witch Grimhilde dresses like a cowgirl and wields colt-45 revolvers. Her minions also wield muskets even though most of the world uses spells, bows, or crossbows for ranged weapons. The Witch Beatrice wears an SS-officer’s uniform. The Witch Schierke wears a lab coat and safety glasses. She also has an industrial facility in her lair complete with forges, lathes, mills, and power generators. The players are not immune to this either. In his second incarnation, Philosopher uses a rocket propelled grenade launcher. The Space Phantom has a bike in his first incarnation. | |

Ghost Town | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_2dc3e97c | comment |
Ghost Town: The players encounter several examples, some of which have actual ghosts. Trip accidentally teleports himself, NESgamer 190, and a group of villagers into an abandoned goblin city deep in Rokkan. Tabbune runs into an abandoned dwarf village, which just happens to be haunted. He then spends several rounds fighting off a bunch of skeletons. | |

Time Stands Still: The Witch Louise has the ability to manipulate time and by extension freeze it. On turn 69, she uses this ability to isolate Brah from a group of Puzov soldiers and torment her with a swarm of puking Scarfy-like creatures. This scene even has the world turn monochrome. | |

Mad Scientist: From creating a Flesh Golem from Shrumen and bear body parts to having a manufacturing facility in her lair, the Witch Schierke fits the bill. She looks the part too, sporting a lab coat while speaking in a pseudo-German accent. She’s also taken cues from Fran Madaraki, having sewn four additional arms onto her body. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: Player characters do not suffer significant consequences for dying, as they simply respawn. The only downside is that players frequently respawn in a different location, forcing them to abandon any quests they were working towards. Non-player character deaths are permanent, though some of them do become ghosts. | |

Skills, Scores, and Perks: Instead of leveling up, players gain unique skills or perks after enduring for a variable number of turns or dying. Unlike other examples, the players have no say in what these skills or perks are, since Cathy doles them out based on how the player performs. | |

Unicorn | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_404caf13 | comment |
Unicorn: Unicorns are a prominently featured race in this Roll to Dodge. While they have a typical unicorn appearance, they are anything but good or pure. Unicorns in Savral are infamous for trolling the players. In their equestrian form, they’re capable of Teleport Spam, Mind Control, phasing through walls, and detaching their heads from the rest of their bodies. When they fuse themselves to various objects, they gain Lovecraftian Superpowers such as sprouting Combat Tentacles and launching fetuses at people, making them borderline Eldritch Abominations. All of these abilities make them nearly impossible to kill, much to the ire of the players. | |

Revive Kills Zombie: In Savral, holy-based healing spells will harm undead, including zombies, ghosts and liches. In his second incarnation, Lord Herobrine tries to heal himself as a ghost. Instead of healing him, it fries him, though being cursed by Cathy didn’t help matters. | |

Kneel Before Zod: Cathy's ultimate goal involves getting the players to kneel before her and making them into her slaves. This ritual of submission may also require players to suck on her feet and endure endless torture. Also, as some players have learned to their misfortune, she can seemingly change any player's class at will without their consent, including to things that nobody would otherwise play as like Witch or Manslave... | |

Big Bad: The Witch Cathy, the in-game persona of the game master, acts as the ultimate villain, given that she destroyed the previous game master's world and de-powered all the other player characters. In Savral's past, she turned the northern half of the world into a barren wasteland, sicced a horde of man-eating elves on the rest of the world, and caused mass-genocide. She's also responsible for creating the game's demonic, trolling unicorns, which cause never-ending problems for the player characters and wreak havoc on the world as a whole. | |

Lizard Folk: Influenced by Dungeons & Dragons, Savral features kobolds and dragonborn as prominent races. Kobolds fall under the small and roguish kind of reptilians while the dragonborn fall under the large and brutish variety. At the start of the session, the kobolds control one of the world's largest empires, which is rapidly falling apart due to external threats and internal rebellion. The dragonborn are an artificial race whose members serve as front line soldiers for the Puzov army. | |

Mordor | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_aa2bd65c | comment |
Mordor: Rokkan, also known as the Witchlands, is a barren wasteland covered in perpetual twilight. While the region houses numerous settlements, said places require extensive magical infrastructure to feed its inhabitants. The region also contains several civilizations, led by the titular witches, that are generally hostile to the outside world. At the same time, the players encounter a number of settlements belonging to non-elven races, implying that the witchlands had seen greener days. A few instances in the game also suggest Cathy had instigated this transformation, using the elves and unicorns to exterminate the locals in each province. | |

Luck Manipulation Mechanic | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_aaaca277 | comment |
Luck Manipulation Mechanic: A few traits allow both players and bosses to re-roll dice to achieve better results. Trip's Wizard's Caution allows him to reroll for any magical spell whenever he rolled a one. As explained in Cathy's Guidebook, the Ashen Goat Demon has the trait Accuracy, which allows it to roll two dice per action and use the better result. | |

De-power | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_ac4c677f | comment |
De-Power: Prior to Cathari Sarad’s takeover, players could easily travel to alternate dimensions, form armies of their own, possess important figures, and become gods themselves. Once Cathari ascended to godhood, she removed all of their powers and reduced them to the equivalent of 1st level RPG characters. Part of the players’ motivation involves reclaiming the powers that were lost. | |

Inept Mage: Trip, until he gained the trait Wizard’s Caution. As a wizard, his spells frequently backfire on him, usually by blowing up in his face. When he tries to use magic to learn about Stormwald, he summons forth a unicorn instead. | |

The Worm That Walks: Liches such as Makuta 9999, Yassari II, and Enri are this, seeing as they’re made out of billions upon billions of spiders. Makuta also turns a few guards into spider-swarm organisms, making them into this. | |

The Great Wall | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_ba5436eb | comment |
The Great Wall: The Harkad Empire has a massive wall stretching across the northern border of the witchlands, through a mountain cluster in the center of the continent, and alongside the border to the Puzov Occupied territories. Said wall also contains barrier magic for keeping Puzov troops out. In the course of the game, Trip fights alongside a contingent of Puzov forces shortly after they break through said wall. | |

You Gotta Have Blue Hair: So far, several of the witches have unnatural hair colors. Medusa’s is green, Marisa’s is pink, Schierke’s is purple, Yukari’s is orange, Grimhilde’s is blue, and Jadice’s is white. On the natural color spectrum, we have Cathari, Louise, and Beatrice with blonde, brown and black hair respectively. | |

Translator Microbes | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_bf487e2b | comment |
Translator Microbes: Player characters have an innate trait that translates NPC dialogue into English, given that the player characters can communicate with Savral's inhabitants, even though they speak in a variety of different tongues and languages. This creates a few interesting situations. When bRaHiAn1 switches from speaking to a group of Keranian Humans to negotiate with a group of Imari Shades, the humans make note of the sudden language swap. While conversing with the lich Enri, Kayne asks Enri to teach him some of the orc languages while visiting his pyramid in the desert. When Enri tries explaining the fundamentals of Ixali while translating a few words, Kayne hears everything in English, even though the Ixali script bears little similarity to the English language. | |

Henchmen Race: According to the overseers, both the dragonborn and the guardians are artificial races created by the Witch Beatrice. The former serves as the backbone of the Puzov army while the latter specialize in border defense and infiltration. It is implied that the cthuloids are an artificial race as well, as they have a similar serial naming system to the dragonborn soldiers. | |

Holy Hand Grenade: Philosopher gains a set of five rocket propelled grenades that can deal holy damage. One of them disintegrates a group of three elves and their horses; another vaporizes his lich body completely after an ill-advised Rocket Jump. The paladin at the Temple of Hastar, who resurrects as Templar Reborn, also wields a holy-enchanted mace. He uses it to cut off Makuta 9999’s regeneration abilities as a lich. | |

Great Big Book of Everything: Cathy’s guidebook is implied to have any and all relevant information about the world of Savral. It has a complete bestiary, a few chapters dedicated to explaining how magic works, and it offers advice based on the mechanics of the game itself. Whether or not players can access this information depends entirely on Cathari’s whims. | |

Matriarchy | |
| Roll To Dodge: Savral (Roleplay) / int_f7057d51 | comment |
Matriarchy: The regions of Avis-Sfal and Spyrus consist of a number of independent human villages led by magic-using priestesses. Within these villages, men are never the focus of players’ interaction, in contrast to many other regions where players interact with mostly male NPCs. It’s implied that these societies are matrifocal, since the Tgan high priestess’s brother occupies a position beside her and no husband figure exists. While the roles of men in these societies aren't clearly defined, both the Tgan High priestess and the priestess Zbse encounters doubt men can rule effectively. | |
