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...
The second thief went at Kyle with his sword (CS:9). Kyle blocked the thief's sword with his shield, and used the moment to strike the thief with his own sword (Doing 3 Damage) This time it cuts him in the arm pretty deep. It takes him a moment, but he eventually gets back up despite the pain.
S.K. grabbed one of his shurikens, dipped into his small jar of poison, and threw it at the third thief. He muffled over in pain, he knew it wouldn't be long before the poison set in(He takes 1 damage from the actual shuriken).
Apparently that time is now, as he quickly is toppled over from the pain(Doing 3 damage). Coughing, he stands, and attacks with his sword (CS:??)at S.K.
ROUND-1 Thief C [9] Xenocrates [10] HP:14/17 S.K. [11] HP:10/10 Thief Leader [12] Thief A [13] Kyle [14] HP:16/16 Thief B [18]
Octobokid, you need to make a Combat Skill Roll to attempt to counter attack, and your next action. Also, beware that you are down to six Shurikens, and the one you dipped in poison is currently unretrievable, as it is stuck in the thief. The other is stuck in a table on the other side of the tavern.
Octobokid hasn't posted in the last 24 hours, even though he has been prompted to do so. Thus, he takes the full effect of the attack, and has twenty-four hours to post or I'm afraid I'll have to kick him.
Surprisingly, S.K. didn't move when he clearly saw the thief's slash (CS:6) coming straight for him. The sword slices into him, causing him immense pain (And 6 Damage). It takes him a moment, but SK eventually stands.
Xenocrates turns his attention to the thief attacking him. Fires his crossbow bolt (CS:15), straight at the thief. The thief attempts to move and counter (CS:9), and fails miserably. The shot takes him in his leg, a rather serious wound (Doing 3 Damage.)
Finally thinking, the big lug of the thief's sees his men dieing, and goes into a brief panic. He marches over to the bar, on which 9 beer bottles sit, and pushes a small tablet into one of them, but none of you are able to tell exactly which one.
The first thief, after just being shot in the leg for the umpteenth time, decides that, instead of attacking, his best bet would be to defend until he can get some help. Using the last reserves of his strength, he pushes himself up against a table turned on it's side, and puts it between himself and the sniper. (Thus giving him a shield score of: 4)
Kyle the warrior see's a moment of weakness in the second thief, and grabs the chance by the horns. He strikes the thief with his mighty sword (CS:15). The thief try's his best to defend himself (CS:11), but to no avail. The sword slices through the skin on his arm (Doing 3 Damage), and the thief falls to the ground in pain, dropping his sword. Although he is breathing heavily, he isn't quite dead and as soon as he gets up Kyle knows he will soon attack him.
ROUND-1 S.K. [15] HP:4/10 Thief C [16] Xenocrates [17] HP:14/17 Thief B [18] Thief Leader [21] Kyle [22] HP:16/16 Thief A [25] (SHIELD:4)
This once again brings us back to S.K. It's your turn to do as you please. Both Xenocrates and Kyle can now choose actions for their characters. Things just got a bit interesting...
I think I'll Attack Thief C this time. He seems pretty down on his health. I got 14 this time. Cursed 10-sided die cursing me!!!!
To The thief I last attacked: "Oh no, A table! Whatever should I do? I know, I'll go after your friend for now. Seems in a poorly-done condition. Maybe one or two more shots should do the trick for him." *turn to Kyle* "You don't mind, do you Kyle? Say, you don't happen to know what happened to S.K.? He kinda froze up. Hope the poor sun-of-a-gun get's better."
You do know, that even if you rolled a six on the six sided die, you would still have to roll a 6 in order to get 14 right? Have you been rolling wrong? Rolling 14+ Everytime means you guys are getting some pretty good rolls... But non the less noted as such Straight Jaket Man. Octobo, Kyle?
oh im sorry... its just that winter break is over so i cant post as often... my combat score isrolling...) 14(already +2) i attack thief C(later i take my surikens but not now... :P)
As S.K. finally wakes up out of his trance, he pulls a shuriken out of his pocket and tosses it at the third thief (CS:14). The thief finds it hard to get out of the way, but he tries to counter attack anyway (CS:9). The Shuriken hits his arm (Doing 1 Damage).
As the third thief's next action comes around, the poison has made it's way into his brain (Doing 3 further damage). The thief can take no further punishment. His body gives way, and he curses the ninja's name as he fall's to his resting place.
THIEF C IS DEAD
ROUND-1 Xenocrates [17] HP:14/17 Thief B [18] S.K. [20] HP:4/10 Thief Leader [21] Kyle [22] HP:16/16 Thief A [25] (SHIELD:4)
I know you already posted your action Xenocrates, and I have an action for Thief B as well, but I have to leave now so I'll update the rest later.
Sorry I wasn't updating guys. I've been going through a little bit of stress right now, with school starting and all. I'll try to update daily, at least. But please understand if I don't.
Xenocrates turned back toward the thief who had taken cover behind a table. He fired a bolt (CS:11), and the thief pushed against the table with his weight (CS:7). The bolt hits the table with a force that cracks it, but it still bounces back.
The second thief manages to gather his strength and attempts to hit Kyle with his sword (CS:??).
Meanwhile S.K. is standing alone in his corner. What will his action be?
lol. I move closer to the table and attack Theif A again. Might as well, I think everyone else has got their's covered. And with my luck, I got...10. Ah well...Better luck next time. At least I rolled another double digits number! lol
Plus, with Theif C gone, I think there's an easier chance with us!
Hey, y'know? This would be a great rpg flash game! I could imagine it now... to attack, you hit a little die in the bottom center... different enemies... weapon buys... Say, you should try to sell this to John or somebody. They'd make a great story out of it! a classic turn-based, just like Final Fantasy... or Golden Sun...lol, idk. Whatever it was I'm saying, you should try it!
O_o... First of all, I can't program, make, or afford flash. Second of all, if somebody wanted to use this system for a flash game, they can go ahead, I'd be honored. Third of all... Got it.
