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...
"As you wish... Hey guys, I guess we finally get a chance to play! Might not want to ruffhouse too much, though. These toys look like they could break!"
"And you fools don't know what your getting into!" With that, the three thief's with bags quickly stowed them away, and charged at you with swords. The one with the flail looks around and wonders who to smash first.
ROUND-1 S.K. [1] HP:10/10 Xenocrates [3] HP:17/17 Thief A [5] Kyle [6] HP:16/16 Thief B [7] Thief C [9] Thief Leader [12]
This is the order of Combat, it starts off with S.K., and on from there. Kyle, if your wondering why your initiative is at six rather than five, it's because the first three thief's had the same agility as you, but only one was smarter. Remember each of you has one thief near you, sword at the ready, and the thief leader has a flail, swinging it wildly in the center of the tavern.
It is, isn't it? Hey guys, I just thought of something to speed up gameplay. Even if your not going first, if you know what you are GOING to do, post it. It won't happen until your turns up, but that way you don't have to be online when it's your turn. It will go much faster if you post your action. (If something comes up so that you can't perform your action you wanted (Such as the enemy you said you attack is killed.) I will not skip you, just tell you to choose a different action.)
You ignore the agility modifier. That's only for when your running, not attacking. I figured I should have re worded that, but I can't think of another word. So if you rolled a natural 8, then you add your ranged bonus (+2) giving you a total of ten combat score.
Theres a good chance that after 7PM Tonight I won't be able to post, as I'll be out celebrating the new year. I might be able to but I wouldn't count on it. Understand guys that I am not a computer. I am not constantly on armor games, and thus I don't constantly update. Don't bug me to update just because I'm not on.
If you had read the thread, you would know that I take new players through the use of something called the 'Death Line'. But hey, that's okay. I'll add your name to the top of the list if you simply post a comment in my Profile. Should one of the current players die, your name will be removed from the list and you will be placed (With a bit of story to make it all make sense.) into the game. If you want to play, post a comment in my profile and hope a stray comet hits a player.
