Right... So, here's the deal with this RPG. You are an ancient hero, hailing from one of the two most powerful empires of the time; Greece or Rome. You will travel the land on quests, slaying monsters, or even join the battle against the opposing country or bring your chosen city-state to power. Here is the character sheet:
Name: I'd prefer it to be Greek or Roman, you know. Age: Be reasonable Gender: This could be important. Male or female, yeah? God/Goddess: Your primary deity. This is extremely important, as this determines whose blessing you receive, and the blessing is one of your main powers. It does not have to be a major god or goddess, all gods will give equally powerful blessings. Country: Greek or Rome. Important, depending on the situation. You can of course, travel to the opposing country. Level: 1[0/20] You have 20 points to distribute among your attributes, below. Strength: How physically strong you are. Wisdom: How smart you are. Agility: How dextrous you are. Charisma: How convincing you are. Endurance: How tough you are. Health: Leave this blank for now. Fame: 0 Equipment: Food, Water Weapon: Standard Bronze Sword/Standard Bronze Spear. Pick 1. Armor: Rough Cloth Blessing: Leave this blank for now. Skills: None Quests: None Enemies: None Allies: None Team: None
Right...so, I will accept a maximum of 3 people. I require people to read and follow my posts, and I would prefer proper grammar to be used, thank you.

You follow his lead and he *gasp* undoes the barrier! He says you can go into the land of the living, but that you have to catch Sisyphus first. "I put it all together," says Tantalus proudly. "See, Sisyphus knew how powerful the son of Hecate was; powerful to block off any magic and all portals in the Underworld. So he warned him that Thanatos was coming after him. At this point, the son of Hecate blocked off the magic to Tartarus just as Sisyphus thought he would. So the magic keeping us all in our respective tortures in the Fields of Punishment was nulled and Sisyphus could drop the boulder and go free. But I heard him; and he knew I heard him, so he dropped me in the Styx. It was lethally poisonous and we both knew it, so I had to concentrate on my body part, and it worked! I protected myself until you came." "But why are you so anxious to go back?" you ask suspiciously. "I'm not," Tantalus admitted. "But I don't think my soul would survive another dip in the Styx and that is bound to happen as long as Sisyphus is free. Besides, my punishment won't be all bad now." He smiles...well, it's more of a leer. "What do you mean?" "Well, the body part I concentrated on was my tongue. So, I might be able to occasionally eat and drink." What will you do now?

You head off to find Sisyphus. Since the magic has been broken, you find him easily. He's back where he belongs, pushing the boulder up the hill, and Tantalus is back standing in the pool with the fruit tree next to him. "To Tartarus with you, fool!" bellows Sisyphus angrily(it's like go to hell). "I'm already there," you crack. Sisyphus scowls and continues pushing the boulder. What will you do now?

You report in to Hades(when the guard hears your news he grants you an audience). "Well done, mortal," says Hades. "But you must realize that Tantalus is just manipulating you, so that you would recommend him to me. Remember, Sisyphus was kind to you in the beginning as well and seemed worthy of redemption, did he not? Now, I will grant you any reward that is within my power, short of bringing you back to life(remember, that was what Asclepius got killed for). What will you say?

Nothing happens when you pray to the deities, but suddenly you hear shouting from the other side of the Styx. "You have to let me cross, please!" a soul is begging. Charon is refusing him entrance. "You need to pay for crossing," says Charon. "This isn't a charity job." What will you do?

Charon shrugs. "As long as I get the money," he says. You give him a gold coin and he lets the man pass. "Thanks," he says. "My name's Demosthenes Agathon. Who're you?"
