Forums → Forum Games → The Dragon's Gold (Dungeon Crawler)
| 355 | 75954 |
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.

Name: Gulielmus Foedera (This is what he calls himself at leastâ¦
Age: 23
visual description: Gul(ielmus) is very tall and moderately muscled (but not trained in weaponry), He is bald, has dark skin reminding one of the people of the deserts, and dark green eyes. He wears a sand coloured cloak better suited to rangers, although without the the bracers protecting his arms from bow-string lash-back, has thinner leather and is without any other weapons. He keeps a desert stone in his pack, a large flask containing two pints of health potion, some rope and a smooth sceptre of wood covered in scratches.
Bio: I may add to it at a later date. If you do wish to bring in characters related to him ; magica is considered taboo to the members of his village and a few of the villages near it. Gul was banished from his home and ended up in the town this story starts at (i'm guessing the setting is medieval europe specifically. Or the place is slightly roman/byzantine? Tyrian Purple being colour of authority there in ancient times.)
class: Mage
alignment: Heroic Evil (Gul has killed a villainous, but not very formidable person purely out of revenge, he otherwise is a bounty hunter usually employed by noblemen.)

spells : (I don't know if we all start off with the fireball or what, altho i'd like something non elemental that does the same damageâ¦justâ¦glowing purplish light maybe gathering in shapes like crop circle pattern throwing stars. Please. I would prefer a magic centred around speed and powerful jumping. I don't mind sacrificing the great fire demon summoning rituals and shielding spells of later levels for some moderate power early on. Independence of the staff could replace a high level spell, assuming you gain a spell per level. I am however completely willing to just be a fire (or air or water or earth?) mage if Magica has a very set theme.)

you enter the room, realizing that its rectangular with a torch on each wall. in the back left corner their are 2 men submerged deep into a conversation, so deep that they didnt even notice you walked in. they are talking quietly, so you could probably listen in on their conversation. Neoxdeath is also in the room, but he hasnt posted in like a week so he has died mysteriously. (you cant loot him though) Rychus, you also walk in.

ok, i have started you with a small whisp that i can consider non-elemental. thanks for joining! this puts the amout of active players to 5.
you wake up in circular room that is well lit. you dont know where you are, but your aware that the room your in is circular. your in a chair, your ankles and wrists are tied to the chair. 1 torch is on the wall, very far from you. your inventory is next to the torch. it seems that someone tied you here and left qiuckly. there appears to be nothing else in the room.
you can, like always, observe. and you should.
I wont be able to post in a while because my Internet is down.
Well I wont be able to post much, maybe once a week when I go to the library because they have free Internet there.

if i didnt make it clear, the stairwell goes down, and the torches are unlit. so actually you cant take one because if you did it would be unlit anyway.

the 1 man turns around. he is in full body armor, with a helmet and all. he looks to be a templar of some sort.
"hello there gentleman. my name is sir Hagus Rochbard of the templar...and this is my partner Dwelin."
the other man faces you. he is much shorter, appears to be a dwarf. his beard is long, and he has a quiver on his back. he is in the same armor that the other man is in.
the other man speaks again. "are you looking for something in particular, my friends?" the man asks. he is old, probably about late 40's. his voice is very deep. the other one doesnt speak, but looks at Rychus awkwardly.

I say that, in general, I'm searching for the dragon's gold at the bottom of this dungeon. More specifically, I'm hoping to gain more allies in my quest. I haven't had much luck so far, but I'm hoping that you will be kinder souls.

as you meet his gaze, he quickly draws an arrow and fires at the fledgling on one of your arrows thats sticking out of your quiver. it hits, and you turn around to see it stuck to the wall behind you. the man purposely missed.

when you get down the stairwell you realize your in a room. this room is small, and you immediately notice a large metal door in front of you. its barged shut, and below the giant lock mechanism it reads: "ONLY THOSE WITH THE KEY WILL PASS" officially, you have reached the 2nd floor but you wont get anywhere.

I say that I found a bazaar a little while ago, where I met my companion here, which acording to a man was destroyed by some very powerful men. I ask them what else they've found and how much of the dungeon they have explored.
