Caverns of the Dead
You sit in the corner of a crowded inn, staring into the bottom of your rum, just trying to mind your own business. You can barely hear yourself think, but for the constant hubbub and yelling from the other patrons. The place sold crap food, but no one was eating anyway... After a day working your fingers to the bone for just enough to scrape by, there was only one thing everyone in the Capital was interested in, Drinking. That is of course, unless you were lucky enough to be one of the 'rich'. Those who made a good living being either a mecenary, thief, or just outright adventurer...
As you stand and down the last of your rum, you see the door open to reveal a man dressed far to well for this area of town strolling calmly into the Inn. To either side of him, stand two of the roughest men you've ever seen, and possible the most armed as well. Each carries a sword on their hip, cross-bow on their back, and knife across the chest. The trio walked calmy, right into the middle of the Inn. As they passed tables, conversations died and heads turned to follow the well dressed man. When he cleared his throat, the last snippet of talk fell silent, leaving the cramped Inn earily quiet.
"Well, Well... There are a lot of you. Hmph... I'm here today because I am looking for some of the more, Adventurous, of you. I'm offering you, shall we say, a job opportunity. You will delve into a cave, find the object hidden within, and return it to me. Easy, right, well not exactly. The cave is guarded by all manner of foul beasts, and you will have to work together with your fellow adventurers in order to reach the treasure. Do this, and I shall make you, and your comrades, rich beyond your wildest dreams."
In this RTD, you will be part of a group of adventurers fighting through and trying to stay alive in a cave set deep within a haunted mountain. Expect to verse monsters, undead, animals, the environment, and a maniacal GM as you go deeper and deeper. Reach the depths of the cave to find a treasure and win the game, Yay!

Personal: If you can think of anything else your character should or could have, put it here, and I might let it in.
If you think these values should be changed, and can provide evidence supporting this, it wiil happen.
So, I have done a couple of RTD's on other forums and have wanted to do this one for a while. I have not, however, participated in any on this forum. In this RTD, Basic Rtd roles will apply (ie. 1=epic fail --> 6= phyrric victory), and combat will involve a roll from both parties to see who bests the other, followed by a role from the victor to wound their opponent. Ranged weapons will roll for a hit and will automatically do one wound, and 2 wounds on a 5 or 6. Players will start with 10 health, and enemies will have as much health as I deem fit, Mwuhahahah, Hmph, sorry...
P.S. It is quite late where I am, and I have invariably made an error. If something vital is missing please let me know, Cheers...
