Story
You are suddenly awoken by a thorough chill that pulses through your body. Half-awake, you get out of bed and begin getting dressed. You finish, but then notice something strange: the sun isn't up, yet there is an eerie light filling your room.
You explore the rest of your house and find that you are alone. No family. You step outside. Shadowy mists are flowing everywhere, and disgruntling whispers can be heard from... somewhere. A pang of fear pierces your chest when you look around and see nothing. All that is visible in any direction more than 50 feet outside of your house is a roiling blackness.

Gameplay
Up to 7 players will be accepted. Players will engage it battles with enemies that I determine. Players will request their actions to me during a battle, and I will do appropriate calculations. Players start at level 1, and will receive experience (XP) to level up for doing damage to enemies, defeating an enemy, and winning a battle (though there may be more).
Outside of battle, I will provide some guidance, but overall the players will request what to do. There are innumerable actions players can choose. When one player suggests an action, I will either post it for players to agree with or shoot down, and if a player consensus has already been reached, I will tell what happens as a result of the players' actions. If the players wish to separate and explore separately, that is fine, they need only request it. However, the hordes of enemies players encounter will NOT be weakened for a solo player.
Any other information needed? Just ask!

I need to take stock of my surroundings. There are no habitale planets besides Earth, so this is clearly an illusion brought to me by those darker spirits.

A few hours pass. I change clothes and walk out of the room.

You examine the surroundings. To your north, you see a steep, jagged cliff. To your east, the purple ocean tosses and churns. As you look southward, you see an area of rolling hills lined with dead trees. Finally, to your west is a vast expanse of the obsidian sands.
Your skepticism begins to fade, and you realize that this is no illusion...

if not then:
"ok sensei they are shadows... maybe if we attack with light they will get hurt instead?" i will cast light on his sword turning it into a light sword (not sure what the effect will do)

Happens to me all the time m8.
Nonsense! Many schizopreniacs firmly belive that their halucinations are real. I've simply hit my head to hard, or ate a undercooked peice of meat. Without further proof, that is the most logical assesment.
I'll make out for the trees. Possibly get a club, and I will be provided some shelter.

Battle 5 - Turn 6
Blue Wings's turn
Blue Wings creates small barriers of ice, then shoots icy energy at Turbicus 1.
Blue Wings's and Sensei Bassami's Defense increases! Turbicus 1 takes 8 damage (only 6 dealt). Blue Wings gains 0.6XP!
Turbicus 1 is defeated!
Assassins party gets 12XP for this feat, so each member gets 6XP.
Battle 5 end!
Sensei Bassami's health didn't change, and he gained 8.6XP!
Blue Wings lost 5 health and gained 12.1XP!
Assassin's party defeated a level 2 Turbicus!
Blue Wings leveled up!
Level 1 +1 =2
Health 15/20 +5 / +2 =20/22
Offense 2 +0 =2
Defense 2 +0 =2
Agility 7 +1 =8
Luck 4 +1 =5
The Turbicus erupts into a violent volley of wind, then disappears...

[Calling yourself schizophrenic? ]
You go exploring in the land of decaying stumps. After a few hours of work, you assemble enough branches and foliage to have a quaint shelter. You also find an uprooted stump that is perfect for club-making.

[Man, have I got some story for you! ]
Lusim leads you through a maze of twists and turns of the castle's many passageways, until you finally reach a thick obsidian door. Lusim calls out something in a language you are unfamiliar with, and the door opens.
As you walk inside, a number of heads turn. You see soldiers, scientists, and engineers alike, all huddled around a small table with a map on it.
Lusim raises his arm to quiet the mutterers, then begins speaking:
"As many of you know, we are expecting a massive attack from the shadows soon. I have called you all here to discuss battle tactics, as escape is not an option. Not this time."
A few gasps are heard; but otherwise, the audience remains silent. Lusim continues.
"If you take a look at this map, I will show you where exactly the attack is expected to originate from."
You look at the map. In the center is the castle. To the castle's direct east is a series of cliffs and buttes. South of the castle there is a beach, and then a stretch of undulating hills that appears to be marked as "dead forest". Next to the beach is a vast expanse of deep black sand.
Lusim points to the sands, saying, "We expect there to be a shadow lair under these sands, and it is from there that the attack will originate."

Of course not. James may think so, and so does Marquis, but I know I'm not Schizo.
Make a club as a weapon. One that is big, dangerous, and has lots of pointy bits.
Then I'll try to sleep in my shelter.

[Something you can probably relate to: I love creating this story! I'm coming up with ideas as I go, except for a few important point, but the improvisation is so fun!]
You make a big club (damage +3 when used in battle ), then retire for the night in your ramshackle hut of dead tree.
Halfway through the night, you are awoken by footfalls on the rough dead forest floor... But the footfalls soon fade away.
You awake in the morning to as much of a sunset as you will get in the shadowy world. An ominous feeling prevails in your gut, as if you are being watched...

Everyone's attention turns to you.
Lusim explains, "This is James Kratos. He joined us last night. He is another victim of the shadow wielders' trickery. I feel his... abilities... may be helpful to our cause."
You seem to catch a glint in Lusim's eye... But it must have been nothing.
Lusim continues, at you, "Our intelligence is very vague. We know their lair is in the Obsidian Desert somewhere, but as you can see, the desert is quite expansive. We cannot pinpoint the lair's location without conspicuous reconnaissance.
"As to their weakness, I'm afraid we can provide nothing there, either. We are fighting an enemy who knows our capabilities while we are in the dark about them, making our effort all the more dangerous. I fear that our best option at the moment is to sit, and wait..."

I say, "Perhaps hasty retreat may work just as well as facing an enemy with no known weaknesses. If we have no chance against them, why not run? There's no shame in it."
