You had traveled far from you homelands in search of this place. A chance to find wealth, and test your skills. As you near the entrance, you see an engraving.
It reads, "Welcome, adventurer, to The Dark Dungeons, home of monsters and treasure. Should you choose to brave the inside, you will find creatures beyond words, and magical artifacts beyond description." Below it is a carving of an intricate sphere, covered in carvings of its own.

Something I forgot to put in the OP: Your elemental focus doesn't have to be one of the 4 classical elements. It could be insanity, song, intelligence, or even turtles.

Grabbing your katana from your sheath, you enter the dungeon. Inside of it, you see a lone orc, halberd ready. He grunts, and begins holding it in a defensive stance.

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

Each weapon has a number of stances. These stances provide various benefits, such as increased damage or damage reduction, and typically an inverse downside. Your katana has two stances: Aggressive and Stealth. Aggressive stance gives you +1 to damage, but -1 armor. Stealth reduces damage on normal attacks, but makes sneak attacks deal more damage. You can change your stance once per round without using your action for the turn. Other weapons may have different stances, or the same stances with more potent effects.
Armor works as it does in Dungeons and Dragons: It makes you harder to hit as it goes up. If you meet or beat your target's armor, then you can roll for damage, which depends on the weapon.

Charge!

While shouting 'Sneak attack!'

[BFEL]

If we're going for a sneak attack, shouldn't we change stance to stealth first?

Stealth stance, THEN CHARGE

((I wonder if the GM intended for the title of this of this game to be a reference to jack chick? ))

Action: Jumping charge attack!

Stealth stance, THEN CHARGE

He already see us. We just going to say 'sneak attack' to confuse him.
