Spoiler: Setting (click to show/hide)

Toad infraduelists, flame druids, bards and carnivorous plants in 30th century BeijingDjinnith. Recent problems include divine cataclysms, pollution and fanatics. Some things you might run into: misunderstanding, corruption, a rebellion and divine wrath. Don't forget about the darts, gatehouse, cult leader, tavern, crown and paladin.

You, a motley crew composed of Toad infraduelists, flame druids, bards and carnivorous plants, have been hired by a young adept motivated by deep-seated curiousity, vengeance and faith to retrieve a many-coloured bouquet from the Pit of Death.
His name is J'eln, by the way. He has wide sharp blue eyes. One of his hobbies is fighting. He loves stoicism and lost causes. His favourite sin is gluttony. He dislikes spring, foriegn customs/accents, and blind faith. This is why he wants to overthrow the current regime and retrieve the bouquet.

It was thrown there for reasons unknown by the villainous fanatics of The Diamond Crown, a band of power-hungry priests known for their hoard of magical artefacts. They claim that they are the descendants of the ancient race of the Thounines, and speak some long-dead language to prove it.

Making their base in a heavily-fortified, gloomy tavern on the outskirts of town, they have been snatching pretty bunches of flowers from love-struck citizens and hiding them in the Pit of Death, a place still terribly infectious from the long-ago apocalypse, which involved biological warfare and a rodent-related cataclysm which led to communists, demonic creatures, giant rats and crazed humans roaming the land en masse.

Only 17.3% of the population survived, most of whom formed the starting city of Djinnith.

Spoiler: Fingal Crowe/Tiruin (click to show/hide)

Name: Fingal Crowe

Spoiler: Daniel Hotcakes/MrWillsauce (click to show/hide)

Name: Daniel Hotcakes
Age: 94
Gender: N/A
Class: Flame Druid
Appearance: A withered, frail, and extremely old man with no clothes on, save for her extremely long white singed beard which he has wrapped around her body several times so that it completely covers him like a robe. She is slim, but with large drooping breasts.
Backstory: It is unknown whether Daniel was originally born a man or a woman and changed himself somehow, or if he has simply always had this strange condition. Daniel herself suffers from mild memory loss and often forgets his own past, family, birthday, etc. All she really knows is that he is a master of conjuring, manipulating, and being a general bad ass with fire. She is sexually interested in carnivorous plants, likes long walks on the beach, and his favorite literary work is... she forgets. J'eln found him passed in an alley with her beard on fire. J'eln stamped it out, but it immediately started up again. Seeing the potential usefulness of a flame druid, J'eln kicked Daniel awake and offered him the job.
Inventory: Beard regrowth serum, king-sized bag of M&Ms, towercap walking stick. The M&Ms and serum are both kept in pockets in Daniel's beard, the walking stick is required for her to walk or stand up.

That looks like four people! Time to set off!

Somewhere on the outskirts of town, near the Lucky Centaur Tavern...

"So!" J'eln stands there, with hands on his pudgy hips, staring at the four of you with his piercing blue eyes.
"I have assembled you here to-day for a most important quest. As I have already told you at some time in the recent past, you are to retrieve the Many-Coloured Bouquet from the Pit Of Death.
He turns and points at the swampy, horrid area behind him, beginning just a few metres from the last rundown buildings of the city limits.
"That is the Marsh of Mirages! To get to the Pit of Death, you must go down there, cross Breezegrief Brook, and then travel onwards to the Bridge of the Gauntlet of the Destroyer, cross that, and then you're in the Blighted lands. From there the Pit is pretty easy to find. In fact, you can't miss it!

He looks down the hill a bit. There is a band of monstrous warriors charging up at you, armed with glaives. They have the arms of a gecko, fur of a cat, front paws of a fox and the torso of a crow. One of them shouts, "Hu! Tholo dhoav ulo! Lod ik karr dhon vav uvk kod hano dal dou!" The others all screech agreement as they charge.

"I had, er, best get back to planning. And stuff. Good luck! And try not to die!"
J'eln hands Terence a strange, cylindrical object labeled 'Plasmic Vitalizer-Module', mumbles something about it coming in handy and then flees back inside the tavern, slamming the rickety door behind him. Good riddance. He had an annoying voice.

>The four of you are alone. Confronted by enemies. Ready... For battle. I think?

It is time to begin your quest. These foul minions of something-or-other will (probably) not stop you.

_{...Come to think of it, you should probably find out who sent them.}

>What now?

[MrWillsauce]

Daniel hobbles towards the beasts while leaning heavily on his walking stick. She leans on the wall of a nearby destroyed building to balance himself as she points her walking stick at the group of minions and is ready to shoot a fireball at them at any minute if they are aggressive.

[Tiruin]

"Battle...already?! I don't know about you three, but I'm going in!

"Diplomacy!"

Hold up hand as a gesture of peace and non-lethal intentions. If they don't want to follow//just want to strike us:

Bash bash bash bash bash.

[lawastooshort]

"I say!" says Terence. "Would somebody terribly mind carrying my pot and I into battle and placing us near the enemy? No blasted legs, you see, eh what."

Wait for an enemy to approach or to be placed near one and then pounce. Specifically, perform the Leaping Fern technique and devour the head.

[10ebbor10]

"What are those?. Probably doesn't matter."

"Stand back, don't come closer"

Use the sonic Dna ventilator,which is not a single use item, on them if they approach. Take cover behind the plant

[lawastooshort]

"Someone put me in a strategic position damn it!" shouts Terence to her new-found companions. "I'm a killer feckin' potplant, I'm no bloody good unless someone bloody well walks past me, I can only pounce so far!"

She turns to the onrushing enemy.

"Aha! Come on you bastards! Come here and have a test of Terence! I'll rip your bloody legs off!"

[Spinal_Taper]

I hope this is the type of Toad you meant.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Shi Take (Pronounced ah-full pun)
Age:17
Gender:Male
Class: Toad infraduelist
Appearance: Shi is a cyborg blue-spotted toad, who wears a Toad jacket. Half of his face has been replaced with a series of robotic implants. Beneath his jacket, he wears a dark colored shirt, and his pants match the shirt. One of his arms is completely robotic.
Backstory:Shi was once a regular toad, but his life was forever changed when an angsty backstory took a wrong turn and crashed into him and his parents. His parents were killed instantly, but he was reconstructed using the apex of Mushroom Kingdom technology.

When he awoke, they offered him a job. Be their assassin, and they'll help him find his parents killer. He refused, and broke out of their facility, only to run into The Doctor. The Doctor took him into the TARDIS, where he became The Doctors sidekick in one of the weirdest seasons ever.

After maiming many Daleks, he and the Doctor split up, but not before Shi built a sonic screwdriver into his fingertip. Shi, finding himself back in the mushroom kingdom, jumped down the first warp pipe could find. After all, Mario does it, and Mario is the most powerful man in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Sadly, the fates were not as kind to him, and they deposited him in Northrend, where he landed on the Lich King, killing him instantly. Taking Frostmourne, Shi fought off a party of adventurers who'd mistaken him for the Lich King, and then he leapt into another portal.

He landed in a town he did not recognize. However, he found a poster claiming that a bouquet needed to be rescued from the Pit of Death. Also, he found Excalibur, but that isn't all that interesting. Poster in hand, Shi ventured forth to the Pit.

Inventory: Excalibur, Sonic Screwdriver fingertip, Frostmourne

[Tiruin]

"Someone put me in a strategic position damn it!" shouts Terence to his new-found companions. "I'm a killer feckin' potplant, I'm no bloody good unless someone bloody well walks past me, I can only pounce so far!"

He turns to the onrushing enemy.

"Aha! Come on you bastards! Come here and have a test of Terence! I'll rip your bloody legs off!"

((Don't you mean, she?  ))

Fingal turned upon hearing the exquisite tones of a person from south of the Forth.

It was the plant he thought was there for cultivation.

"Don't worry, err, lad! I'll help you!"

Move Terence to a strategic position in his(?) desire, this takes priority over the other actions I made.

[MrWillsauce]

Daniel scowls at Fingal jealously for getting to touch the pretty plant.
