The Knight assesses his opponents, taking an evasive martial arts stance. He figures odds are that the satyr, either the first one if he didn't die of that slash, or the second as payment for its ally, will likely strike first. Since they don't seem well mannered, presuming them to have the intellect of a Minotaur is likely not a bad plan, so he will roll out of the way of the attack as soon as he sees an opportunity, since it will likely telegraph. Following this, the imps will likely attempt to attack, after they are certain the Satyrs won't harm them. Attempts to cause the Satyr to hit the imps seem like a good idea. If that fails, simply deflecting any punches they may throw should be sufficient, since they seem to not be too proficient at combat.
(Translation, Smirk prepares to dodge, and uses the anime protagonist strategy of thinking quicker than should be possible when cornered, before managing to pull (hopefully) the win. So I am going for Dodge boost, and it is anime by virtue of Anime happening to include a decent amount of every variety of awesome, including awesome by analysis.)

>Keane: Flip the fuck out.

I absolutely FLIP THE FUCK OUT, smashing my remote over the heads of every Underling in the room!

The Knight in training looks at the satyrs. He tries ro think through a good method to take them down fast. Then he yells to the Minecraft avatar, "Block me." The Minecraft avatar somehow recognizes the idea, and as the Knight jumps upwards, the avatar tosses luminescent blocks at directly where the Knight's foot will land, therefore allowing him to take another jump. He proceeds to do this three times before leaping at the Satyr, lightsaber raised over his head. "HEAVENLY SWORD SLASH!!!!!" The blade cuts straight through the satyr, going cleanly through it down the center. It shows no signs of damage until the Knight sheathes the blade, and puts it on his belt. Then, the damage suddenly becomes visible, and the Knight walks away.

With your combined efforts, you deal a huge 28 Damage to a Satyr!! instantly destroying it (Crit roll:2,4)

As the FrogSprite, I proceed to go towards the first area of interest and assess the situation. As I do so, I finally realize my Smart Shovel has no internet connection! My next task might have to be finding a gate back before too long... As my Dreamself, I give a wide, sweeping bow as is befit of Royalty. "Your highness. A subject of yours told me to come here. How may I assist you?"

spriteself: you find a Village of some sort, however, when you enter it, you find that’s it’s populated with GREEN NEWTS!! They gather excitedly around you, speaking in their very, very cute child-like voices about how “The Prince has arrived!!” And “We are saved!!”. You also manage to find a mini-Gate that upon inspection seems bring you back home, how convenient.

Dreamself:
(+5 LUNAR GOODWILL)The White Queen seems to have recovered from her Shock at your appearance and speaks to you about various tasks that could use your aid, although most of them seem like basic “help people” tasks, there are a few select tasks regarding improving the military and maybe persuading the Prospitian Agents to stop dancing in their Club and actually begin infiltrating Derse??

You spend 1 ANIMENESS to think faster then Possible and prepare a CUNNING KEIKAKU against your foes, +5 to your Dodge against the Satyrs and a Counterstrike is prepared.

Conveniently, the Underlings are attacking NOW!!

The Imps and Satyr attempt to Attack you, but in a flawless engagement of your PLAN(Dodge:18),you deflect the Satyr Attack to kill both the Imps!!+4 ANIMENESS !!

End

As the other heroes continue their escapades, a meteor falls towards the house of the Seer of Void. In his hands lies a device with three mysterious sets of rings allowed to rotate on a single hinge. He aligns them so that they are all at the exact same angle in proportion to the sphere, and the house disappears from the earth just in time, along with his ORACELSPRITE (created when the creepy artifact bone which apparently belonged to your great-great-grandfather or something, REGUS ORACEL, who was known as a great magician in his time, and now is somewhat closer to a magician, managed to combine with your 8BALLSPRITE), and his GRANDFATHER, who was also probably BEING GENERALLY AWESOME and KILLING SOME IMPS. You have to admit, though his obsession with BONES and MAGIC TRICKS are sometimes annoying, he is pretty darned awesome and still great at KARATE.

And so the Seer of Void entered the LAND OF SHADOWS AND DESTINY. But now, let us go back and introduce this new hero.

Your name is JOEY WILLIAMS. As we have mentioned before, you are currently entering THE MEDIUM. You have a variety of INTERESTS, which include TABLETOP ROLEPLAYING GAMES and DIVINATION. You have a large collection of BONE DICE, many of which were gifted to you by your GRANDFATHER, and you have taken quite the liking towards them because of their lighter weight. You are also severely VISUALLY IMPAIRED. Anything which is more than 15 feet from you is extremely blurred, and you simply can not see anything that is not almost directly in front of you.

Oh, and your Discord Handle is OddOmens.

With introductions out of the way, you are now inside the Medium!




Action:
>JOEY: Grab REPLICA WIZARD'S STAFF and allocate to STRIFE SPECIBUS

Bonus Action:
>JOEY: Captchalogue LAPTOP BAG (W/LAPTOP)

Carleah:
Flip the fuck out and yeet yourself to the nearest consort village. Acquire alchemy materials and food. Support role? SUPPORT ROLE.
Then, he reveals his name to be Clark Henderson, Discord Handle FlamingFlapjacks.

I’m going to murder the imp that my aunt is not focused on, and then yeet all that sweet plastic (plastic being the first type of grist that Keane has on his land, due to the fact that the first type of grist is related to the pollutant on that land).

The Knight continues his assault upon the Satyr. "You go high, I'll go low." The Minecraft avatar sprite once more gets it fairly quickly, and tries to slash across the Satyr's eyes with its pickaxe, blinding it.
The Knight then rushes at it while it is distracted, pulling out his lightsaber hilt, and then yelling "INSTANTANEOUS PERFECT EXECUTION!!!"
A second later, he places his lightsaber hilt against the Satyr's chest, and ignites it, the blade burning straight through the Satyr's chest in a matter of seconds.
He then says, "You were formidable, but strength without skill is not everything in combat. Your strategy of only charging at me without thought doomed you from the start."
With that, he deactivates his lightsaber, spins the hilt around in his hand, and then clips it onto his pants once again.

More smashing of imp heads.

I head downstairs in order to assess the impact of entering the medium.
Bonus Action: I allocate my REPLICA WIZARD'S STAFF to my Strife Specibus.

Smirk checks his phone, now that the threat is now extinguished.

Ender_Smirk: "Hey, guys, anyone else getting a ton of these monsters? I have been having to cut through quite a few. Also, Al is no longer in his house, so I am curious if you would tell me what is happening."

Having done that, he decides to check on something. He thinks about how he had gotten so cool of a weapon from a toy, so perhaps another one or two would help. He makes his way to the room his toys are mostly kept in, and tries to look around and see whether there are any enemies here.

You introduce yourself, and equip the REPLICA WIZARD'S STAFF, allocating your STRIFE SPECIBUS to STAFFKIND!!

Also you wisely take your LAPTOP with you.

You can hear some scrabbling sounds in a room Below You.

You manage to score a single Crit(4,3,5,4)and manage to kill an IMP as well as leave the other one on the brink of DEATH!! With your Bonus Action, you instantly get the 5 GRIST left by the dead Imp.

AUNT:HERE IT COMES!!

Your AUNT fires a Giant Cannoball from her Cannon!! It deals...CRIT?!(5) 40 Damage to the SATYR!! Brutally murdering it into pieces...as well as the reinforcements of 2 Imps that it apparently called some time ago...

The Imp quivers in fear and doesn’t move this turn.

ANIMENESS+2, you perform a COMBO ATTACK!! Dealing a ridiculous 35(!!) damage to the SATYR. It never stood a chance.

VICTORY!! You gain 35 GRIST!! And you gain 12 EXP!! Bringing you to the second level!!

Nobody seems to answer...you have a mercifully safe trip to the Toy Room, and(d10:8+1:9) there doesn’t seem to be anyone in there.

Of course, more imps trying to ruin this place. Seems I can't clear this place of them without more getting in somehow.

> JOEY: Strife!

I charge the nearest imp and use my momentum to launch a powerful swing at it, then follow up with a rapid flurry of strikes from my staff.

Keane yeets all that sweet sweet grist and then jump-kick-smashes the imp over the head with the WOO REMOTE!

kF: Don’t know. Got a lot of monsters, but my Aunt is fricking badass.

I return, and discuss with my sprite the nature of the Gates, and the predicament my server player abandoning me has left me in. With this, I come up with a plan...

Meanwhile, though, I move to alchemize something else. Did you know that the WH40K character Asdrubael Vect wields the Obsidian Orbs, ballkind-viable weapons that restore Hp on hit? Because I did.

Scavenging a bowling ball (obsidian enough, right?) and an Asdrubael Vect miniature from Uncle's vast, nerdy collection of TTG minis. Alchemizing them together, I hope to replicate the effect of the Obsidian Orbs through the resultant alchemy.

Finally, I run back down to find some imps with my sprite. If we find some, we respectively open with a triple marble sack attack and some dragonfire rounds respectively.

The slowly learning Knight begins searching the bins and shelves for something useful for alchemizations. He recalls having a beyblade or two somewhere around here, as well as a few action figures, such as one of Zuko from Avatar, one of Piccolo from dragon ball, etc., though he is primarily focused on the beyblade. He also recalls there being an action figure of a Red Lantern from the Green Lantern CGI animated tv show, which might be useful. If he finds anything useful, he proceeds to hum to himself the Legend of Zelda chest opening noise, before holding it above his head like an idiot. (Link is from Japan, he had a TV show, even if it sucked, so I think this counts as anime.)
He then checks on Fluffy's message.

Ender_Smirk: Good that you aren't in too much trouble. How is everyone else?

I continue my attack on the imps with a jab forward and then backward, hitting both of the imps.
Jeez, so many notification sounds! I'm gonna have to remember to check my Discord as soon as I get to a safer spot.

KF: I'm fine... carl went through his gate i think, don't know about anyone else.

Keane does WOO REMOTE && PIRATE'S HOOK.

Your Aunt congratulates you on your performance and advises you cryptically about your Sprite. Also, she gives you a thermos of her Soup.

You get the OBSIDIAN ORB:An Obsidian Orb that sucks the lifeforce of it's target to heal the User.

You proceed to find some trouble !!
You find 5 Imps and 1 Satyr!!
You unleash 3 MARBLE NAILS, which deal 4 Damage to an Imp and apply the Bleed Debuff to it!!

The TOYDRAGONSPRITE shoots some dragonfire rounds into the Satyr for 9 Damage.

The bleeding Imp promptly dies

As this was a SURPRISE ATTACK, the remaining Imps and the Satyr don't attack this turn.

Imps(x4) 5/5 HP
Satyr 16/25 HP
Grist:5

TOG:30/30 HP

You find METO L-DRAGO and the RED LANTERN ACTION FIGURINE!!

METO L-DRAGO:It's a very good Beyblade, now unleash the power, L-DRAGO!!
RED LANTERN ACTION FIGURINE:an action figurine of some random Red Lantern

Through some unholy Luck, you found some old Strife Specibus just...shelved there. A Toykind and a Ringkind.

Although you cannot jab bot of the imps at once, given that one is already dead, you re-target your attacks onto the single remaining Imp and Brutalize it for 4 damage!!

The remaining Imp takes a desperate swipe causing 2 Damage!!

You get the REMOTE-CONTROLLED PIRATE HOOK(RCPH for short): It does what it says on the tin, swing that pirate-themed Woo Remote and have at thee with the enemies from a slightly safer distance.

I finish off the remaining imp with a final swipe.
Once that's happened, I finally take the time to not be absent from discord for a moment, and open up my laptop to reply.
God, I keep forgetting to replace my O key...

OO: Well, I can't step tw0 feet with0ut being distracted by imps. But I'm finally in the medium, s0 that's a plus.

I swing my RCPH around, testing it out, the go outside to check on the building status of my house.
