1456. the king of england (historically inaccurate) is now Leo VII, and the english have learned of a system of underground dungeons that reward riches at a greater and greater rate. the only problem with these dungeons is in the name: they are dungeons.
The king sent a small task force into the 1st one that appeared; it was seemingly innocent and easily passable. however, it wasnt as easy as the 5 men had thought. they got eaten by gruesome monsters beyond description. the king knew vast riches were in these dungeons, so he called the common people out and told them that anyone willing to venture into the dungeon for the kingdom would get 50% of the plunder split between the members of the team. you are one of the people on this team who has volunteered your life for this dungeon crawling life. however, if your successful, it will be rewarded greatly.
Character Sheet: Name: (other players on the team will call you this) Gender: M/F Raid Team: TBA (the name and members of your team) Dungeons Completed: 0 Class: (below) Current Condition: Perfect HP: 100 Gold: 20 ---------------------------------------------- Level: 1 (0/10 XP) Skills: (determined by class) Inventory: N/A (while adventuring you will find many of things) Equipment: (the things you equip. starting equipment determined by class)
Please, remove everything in brackets.
Classes:
Pick 1. you cannot change this. these are basic classes, and will branch as you hit certain level targets. Warrior: Like using swords, maces and axes or spears? good. your a warrior. they swing those melee weapons with pride, usually accompanied by a shield. if you like tanking, (taking damage and distracting enemies), this is your class. Starting equipment: Bronze sword (1d6), Copper armor set (2AC) Starting skills: Rage (+3 Damage for 3 turns) Archer: its fairly obvious what this is. bow and arrow, back row attackers that must seize the moment crucially. if you dont like tanking, or you arent brave, this is for you. Starting equipment: Shortbow (1d6 factored) Leather armor set (1AC) Leather Quiver (10 max) 10 arrows starting skills: tri-shot (3 multiplier) Mage: spells and witchcraft could sound good to some. if it does to you, pick this. your arsenal starts low but gets grander. if you pick this class, add a section to your character sheet labeled MP under equipment. Starting equipment: Oaken Staff (2 + spell) Sarting spells: Firebolt, (1d6, 1MP) Whisp (4, 2MP) Healer: if you take one for the team, this is for you. you heal, dealing very minimal damage if any. a good healer can make or break a team. Starting equipment: Basic Wand of Healing (10h) Starting spells: Heal (1d6 + wand)
its complicated, but damage works like this: 1d6 means i roll a 6 sided die and you deal damage equal to that roll, factored by the area you tried attacking. obviously, you can take someones arm off with a little luck. i will explain more later.
your team works together. in the beginning, your assigned to a team to stay there. your team is all in the same dungeon. there will be more then 1 team. dungeons will get harder as you go, and you will clear them. i will explain more about armor and things later as well.
Happy raiding! i will start with as little as 2 people. others will join your team as we go.
i wont be on again tonight, just to let you guys know if you join. thats why i rushed some of the explanations, but i will get to it.

"so i would think. i will be sure to tell him you died an excruciating death." instantly, the man lifts his left hand toward you. "it will be hard to kill you, but your king has interfered with my plans." suddenly, your knees begin to hurt. you fall to the ground in pain, and they continue to ache. next your arms begin uncontrollably twisting and your ribs are snapping. you figure he, whoever he is, is definitely succeeding to kill you. the pain is increasingly powerful until it suddenly stops. your eyesight is relatively cloudy, but you see what happens next. you are incapable of moving as your spine has broke in 3 different ways, but you feel no pain. their has to be a reason why it stopped like it did. you suddenly hear a loud thunderous roar. another man, apart from the 1st man, begins talking. "as i would have expected, Loomis, you're looking for the chambers. taking it out on this poor child was unnecessary, however, and you will pay for your sin." "Killing him was as unnecessary as you are about to become!" the 1st man says. blinding white and black lights fly in front of you, and you black out into a coma.
the next thing you know, your lying face up in the same room. a man in a white cloak with a face similar to the man you remember is looking down on you. "all is well, child, but before i launch you into what happened i need know one thing; who are you? and, whatever you do, do not move any muscles other then your face." he says.

"It is important that you know everything that just happened, and the prophecy, but the man who tried killing you is not me. he was Loomis, i am Kron, and i will get to that. but you must tell me your name, as i am eager to hear it."

brace yourself, this is going to take awhile to read. but its the entire story up until this point in a chronological nutshell. (mostly, at least, their is some parts left out intentionally).
"yes, and a wolf mentioned you. but before the wolf, before the conflict between me and Loomis, there was a prophecy..." he pauses and seems like he is thinking hard. "a long time before we lived, 100 million years ago, the gods created a pact with eachother that the world would live in eternal peace. the 10 gods created the pact so that the world would live on forever and the underworld would never take it over. however, the 6th god Remulum, who is the god of the underworld, broke away from the pact. he then became the lord of the underworld with a mighty army at control. he was destined to destroy the world with his army, but he faced a problem: the pact of the 9 gods. they were much to powerful for him to take on alone. he created an orb called the doom sphere, which would bring eternal hell to the world if a man with dark intentions got a hold of it. however, his plan backfired, and the 9 gods ripped it from his hands before he could activate it. Remulum was then stripped of hit powers and eventually forgotten about. However, the gods had to decide what to do with the orb. they decided to make a realm called the sacred chambers to store it in, which is a place no mere mortal can enter. it is guarded by the fiercest of creatures, which the gods created to protect the sphere from anyone with evil intent. it is beyond critically important that nothing evil gets to that sphere, or the world will rain hell and demons will be let free. this is where i come in. i was born a wizard from the east coast of Gloshmire, and taught the ways by my father. he told me this prophecy as i am telling you, and told me that i was now the soul keeper of the doom sphere. however, not all is well. all good wizards have enemies, and i have one: the man who solemnly swears to get to the sphere at all costs...Loomis. he is a descendant of the god Remulum and is trying to for-fill the prophecy. i cannot allow this to happen. he has recently found where the sacred chambers lay, but he cannot enter them. it is, son, in this very dungeon, many floors below here. that is where the sacred chambers are, and that is where he will go when he gets the chance. there is more to the story, but for now you need to get your king, John II, to take an army of 1000 men and bring them into this dungeon to fight the evil armies of Loomis. any questions, boy?"

"this is no mission. this is matter between the world we know and the hell it could become. in minutes, many soldiers of doom will be pouring in here from Loomis's realm. you cannot fail me, boy, and i know you will not." he slams his staff on the ground, and you are teleported to a field outside of the king's court.
anyone can join back in now, but you should join Sean in the king's court.
