First, a bit of back story before I post the rules of joining and playing, just to give you an idea of the story that will be.
A tall, dark tower loomed over the barren planes surrounding it. At the top stood a tall man dressed in a dark cloak, blowing in the breeze behind him. He silently cursed to himself, because although the surrounding plain was without any life at all, he knew that beyond the tall mountains surrounding the castle, the plains were alive with grass and wildlife. "No matter." he thought to himself. "It will all be dead soon. All in good time." He stepped off the edge and returned to the center of the roof, where a small pedestal held a small half circle. He pressed a hidden button, and the half-circle slid open, revealing what he intended to hide until the time was right. Five small polyhedral shapes rested in their own place, none of them touching the others. The man himself had another one in his pocket, he would never let it go. The power felt too nice to him. The man laughed to himself, he knew that soon he would rule all of Helmgard with the power of the shapes. Suddenly, behind him, a hidden door leading back into the tower burst open. A knight, dressed in chain mail armor emerged. "Your through Granwalt! Your evil terror ends now!" he spoke in a raised voice, nearly screaming. "How exactly do you plan on stopping me, Sothe? I hold all the chips, and you hold none!" "Preposterous! Just because you have the dice of power does not mean you cannot be beaten!" "Even without the dice I could defeat you, Sothe, and I intend to prove it!" With that the man in the cloak, apparently named Granwalt, pulled a book out from behind him. The brave knight Sothe charged forward, his two-handed sword raised high above his head. Bravery in his mind, he let out a shrill cry. Granwalt quickly opened his book, moved his fingers in a strange pattern, and then cried out; "Raldi!" A beam of pure energy emerged from his free hand,and struck the knight square in the chest. The knight fell to the ground, sword still in his hand. Granwalt tucked the book away back into his cloak, and walked toward the dark knight."Ha! Wheres your bravery now, Sothe?" Sothe clutched the sword in his hand, moved it back, and then threw it forward, aimed straight at Granwalt. "Right here!' he cried. The dark wizard simply moved to the side. "Ha! You missed. Your still a worthless knight, no matter how brave you may be." "I wasn't... aiming at you... Granwalt!" he said, dying. The sword lurched past the wizard, and straight into the pedestal. "No!" cried the wizard. The polyhedral shapes sprang up from the pedestal, and each flew off in five separate directions. "You see, Granwalt. Even when I'm dying... I still...Fight for whats right... That's, what it means... To be a true knight..." Then the knight's body convulsed, and he died. Granwalt walked back to the pedestal, cursing to himself. "Knew I shouldn't have cast 'defy gravity' on those dice... No matter. I still have one with me. And it's the most powerful of all. All that annoying knight did was prolong the unevadable. Helmgard, would soon be his...
"Well, it depends on what the 'roblem' is. And on what you can tell me. I need to know a little bit about a certain weapon. Say, the one that the Theif Lord uses. See, I have taken up a quest, and it involves him and the Grim Reaper."

You know, I'm just going to completely ignore the idiots who post character sheets with atleast a dozen things wrong from now on. They obiviously have NOT read the opening post. I'm not even going to add them to the death line. I won't comment on then from this point. If your reading this and wish to join, you should know how to by now.
Xenocrates "Well... Follow me." The man turns and walks away. Curious, you follow behind him. You arrive at what you assume is his house. "He's down there." Says the baker as he points towards a door, leading to a basement. "I-I don't know what it is. But It'sa dangerous I'm sure. I need to you to exterminate.... That, thing."
"...Hmmm... Alright. I will kill the thing for you. But first, you must tell me what I want to know. And I will only do it IF you can tell me anything. After all, I think you proved that, out of the two of us, you are the one who cannot be trusted."
Sorry for the extremely unforgiving length it took to get this update up. Believe it or not, it's my fault this time... Why are you looking at me like that? It's not! After the update it took my computer forever to load! Give me a break...
Xenocrates "Fine, granted I don't know much. All I know is that the evil man is, well, evil. But I do know a bit about his weapon. It's a magic weapon of great power. I myself have actually seen it, but only once, and I nary escaped with my life! It's a seemingly useless contraption at first glance, it just... it's a pyramid, I guess? He threw it at me, and all of a sudden, all of my crowns and belongings, except my clothes, flew into his mits. The pyramid seemed to come back to him too. After he had it all, he turned to his fellow thieves "Kill him." he said. Luckily a magical wizard put up a shield just before impact. I ran away as far as I could manage. I don't know what happened to the wizard. I'd be careful though, I fear the pyramid may have more than that to it. I've heard the stories... Of the dangers it possesses... That's about it really. Anyway, the beast is right inside of their, if you want to hold up to your end of the bargain now."
...hello? You there, Silver? I don't want to have to call this off...after all, it seems to me that I'm the only one who even posts on this... either that, or everyone is a little more patient than I am! lol.
The storyline of this forum game is outstanding, to say the least. It is full of creativity, but was also quite elastic, allowing the players to create a truly unique character if they wished to do so. I would love to see this game become a flash game some day, I would do it myself if I had permission and was good enough at writing Action Script... a great storyline deserves a great programmer, and that isn't me... yet.
