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.

the fireball illuminates a figure standing at about 6 feet, but it dies quickly. the fireball misses the figure by about a foot.

you have no idea who or what your enemies are. you must reconsider that action because even if its a baby dragon its not necessarily against you. think logically, not like a button mashing console gamer. for all you know this figure could be helpful. but not absolutely.

you ready an arrow and wait. it eventually speaks, but doesn't come into the light.
"who are you?"

I say 'Hello, how are you doing?' to the figure. If it does not respond, then I search the room as well as I can ignoring the figure mostly, but always facing towards it.

"Basalaad...carrouck..."
the figure says this, in a very hissy voice. I am not telling you what this means, but its origin, you can tell, is lizard. it then steps out of the shadows towards you. its 6 foot, with green scales and a tounge sticking out that's extremely long. its moving in slithering patern, but stands upright on 2 legs. it has arms.

its voice is higher then normal. you believe, whatever it is, that its a goblin.
"what I am is none of your concern. I will ask you kindly one more time, who are you? And, you probably don't want to fire an arrow at me."

the thing doesn't respond. you take this time to observe its more interesting features. you throw another fireball just missing it. apart from what I already said, it has 2 short arms and over 100 eyes in a cell like flies have. its the most interesting hybrid of anything you've ever seen. it has a sword in a holster, but nothing else armed. finally, it says,
"Vasha ras sollum?"
you can tell that was obviously a question. your not sure weather it was a taunt, a threat, or a question though.

it seems like its staring at you.
"hmph. you must be brave, wondering in here alone. I believe you were the one in that prison cell...yes..."
it draws its sword, then raises its other arm. he throws something down engulfing his body in smoke. you step closer to it, and the smoke starts burning you. you realize its some sort of burning smoke set to either cloak him or kill you. you back away from it, with an arrow still notched.

I shake my head and spread my arms out in a gesture of confusion, then start pantoming that I can't understand him by pointing at him, then opening and closing my mouth, then pointing to my ear, then shaking my head. I then start looking around the room more thouroghly.

it looks puzzled. anyway you begin walking around the room with your torch, examining everything you can see. you find nothing of interest, except for a cage in the left corner, which goes back into the wall. you believe, whatever it is, that the monster is keeping something in their. its dark, and you cant see to the back. their is no movement.

I wave my hand at the lizard-creature, say good-bye, then leave the room. I go down the hallway on my left, then observe.
