so i was thinking yesterday that although my game take the castle is working as i would like, it is boring. although it keeps me busy with lots of things i must pay attention to, the players say "i raid" and sometimes "i buy 1 heavy infantry unit." so i have devised a new dungeon crawler game that i think any active forum participator will like. here is the intro- (this is a mid-evil era game)

One day, as you are sitting in your cottage, you hear a knock on your door. you go to answer it. standing there is a man in long purple cloaks (keep in mind that is the sign of royalty). you cannot see his face or any part of his body, as the cloak covers it all. he seems...friendly-ish, but before you can say anything he begins.
"Hello! my name is sir Acrobis of the Deminin family. i am here because i am looking for brave adventurers to help me forfill a quest...a very dangerous one. have you ever heard of the legendary dragon's gold?" you think for a moment, but you do not recall of it. "well legend has it that in a town very close to here a dragon has millions of pounds of gols stashed away in an underground safe...and i am trying to assemble a team to recover it. everyone participating splits the loot. Do you accept?" you say of course, beacuse you wont turn an offer like this one down. however, the following events are foggy.

Character Sheet:

Name:
Age: (15-40)
visual description: (this will actually become important)
Bio: (can be blank. doesn't matter, but its a good idea anyway)
class: (below, pick one)
alignment: neutral (influenced by most everything)
------------
level: 1
XP: 0/10
health: 100/100
status: perfect
stats: ( base stats will be based on class, armor will factor in)
Strength:
Endurance:
Melee:
Ranged:
Magica: (the form of magic in this game)
------------
inventory: 1 rock, 2 health potions, 10 feet rope
party: N/A

take out everything in parenthesis

Rules:
1. i am the only one who determines outcomes of anything. you NEVER will say "i decapitate xyz monster and then run down a hall." instead, "i attempt to decaptiate xyz monster." big difference.
2. If/when you become in a party, battling will be different. i havent worked this out yet, but i can tell you this, if your not posting every 2 days, you may be subject to be taken out temporarily to permanently
3. godmodding is strictly forbidden
4. if you die, you are done. you may restart, but EVERYTHING you had will be destroyed.
5. arguing will NOT be tolerated

Notes:
1. observe EVERYTHING. one of the major functions in this game will be to observe the room. if you enter a room i will give you obvious things, but most everything important or even special you will have to take a turn and observe for.
2. every peice of armor will have stats, rarity, and resell value, because there will be AI vendors in this game
3. everyone is on the same map. i cannot stress this enough because its very important. i will sketch the map, and is possible to go into a room that has already been explored
4. enemies will, for the most part, scale to your level. but in some instances they may not. bosses will not present themselves to you obviously, and if your very weak i may say "dont not go in there unless you plan on dieing."
5. PvP is going to happen, unless you want to baby through the game and never hurt a soul.
6. everything you do in this game will factor towards your alignment. i will tell you what you are and inform you of changes.
7. XP will be gained by killing monsters. PvP kills will be worth TONS. leveling up increases base stats. i will tell you when you gain XP
8. I will always update your CS (character sheet), not you. there is a format i want it in, and it will be that way.

Classes:
(each class will get a weapon they start with, and different stats)
Knight:
starter weapon: short iron sword (+1 strength, +2 melee)
starting stats:
Strength: 5
Endurance: 5
Melee: 5
Ranged: 1
Magica: 0

archer:
starting weapon: short wooden bow (+1 strength, +2 ranged)
starter stats:
Strength: 2
Endurance: 2
Melee: 0
Ranged: 5
Magica: 1

Mage:
starter weapon: crude wooden staff (+5 magica)
starter stats:
Strength: 0
Endurance: 2
Melee: 0
Ranged: 3
Magica: 5

it is important that you copy the stats that you get from you class onto your character sheet. then put your weapon in your inventory.

I hope you guys have fun with this! i will begin drawing the map on the 1st post.

"We found you attempting to enter. once you did you were quickly beaten down by a guard and brought here. we asked Teser what to do with you and another man we found later that day, and he told us to bring you both down here."

you observe to see nothing of particular interest. 2 torches are on either side of the wall, and this man is in your face. your strapped loosely to the wall. your inventory is by the door. you do now see though that the keys to the door are next to it, so if you can get out of these chains...

"I don't exactly remember what I was doing before I woke up here...", I tell the guard. I jiggle the chains a bit to see how strong they are.

you dont notice much important. theres an out-of-the-ordanarily placed stone next to the wall on your right, on the floor. you look back, but nothing has changed. however, as you turn around facing the next room again, there is a man in demonic-looking armor standing across the hallway. he is leaning on his sword, and you cannot see his face at all. his armor is spiked everywhere...he looks like a wrecking ball.
"I have been watching you," he says. "one has to come for great reason to disturb my resting place." he doesnt move. nor does he seem friendly, but you cant tell.

thats it for tonight guys, i will be on again tomorrow.

I attempt to wait it out until the guard looks tired, or leaves, and then I try to slip out of them.

eventually, the gaurd opens the cell door.
"im going to fetch you bread and water. i will be back in about 5 minutes, if your little retarded brain can handle it." he says, then leaves. he closes the cell door behind him. you dont know if its locked.

I say that I was hired by a noble-looking guy to find some treasure here. I ask him why it takes great reason to come here. I also ask why a dragon's lair is his resting place, I wouldn't think that it's a particularly nice place to sleep.

the man sneers.
"or so you believe you were hired by this man...its a long story, i will explain.
this man is trying to get the dragon's gold in this dungeon. he thinks its buried here, and many people do. in truth, no one has been to the bottom of this labyrinth. if there is any truth in what that man thinks, it hasn't been discovered yet. what that man doesnt know, or least not yet, is that their is an evil presence living in this underground wasteland. this presence goes by the name of Teser, who is a spirit. therefore he can teleport around, and has great powers. this 'Teser' spirit is actually me. the dragons name is Bolerac, and it does indeed live here. however i have never seen this 'treasure,' and i doubt it exists. you are probably wondering if i am evil, why i am giving you this information...its because i have too. Bolerac has enslaved me to spirit form to keep intruders out of here. you count as one. i hated it originally, but this is a nice resting place, and i am growing to become quite interested in this dungeon. so technically, i am your enemy, here to do whatever it takes to kill you. However, i will not right now. I have many brothers in this dungeon, you will have to defeat them all before even encountering Bolerac himself."
the man says this without moving at all. its very scary. his voice is also extremely deep, and he shows no sign of emotions.

I ask him if I should move onto the next room, or if there is something that he would like me to do. If he tells me to go into the next room, that is what I do.

"the next room is the staircase down to B2, the next floor. however the 1st room of that floor is inescapable until you find the floor key somewhere on this floor. otherwise, there is a dead end, so i will illuminate the path. i warn you not to try to attack me. if you wish, be my guest."
Teser then waves towards the wall on your left, and sunddenly the wall turns into another hallway. its small, and looks relatively safe.

I thank him for his assistance, bow, pick up one of the torches, enter the corridor, and observe.

the corridor is very small, nothing is of interest. it opens into another corridor that leads right or left. neither side looks any different.

after observing, you see nothing. you take the right, but after moving a short distance you hear a loud growling noise not far from where your standing.
