Spelunkers of Shimmerstone: AMBUSH
« on: July 01, 2014, 01:57:06 am »

Shimmerstone Grotto. Legend has it that at the bottom of this sprawling cavern, there lies a djinn who will grant a single wish to whoever can reach it. How far down is the bottom, do you ask? Well, the party of five wish-hungry adventurers gathered by the entrance is about to find out.

((That is some detailed backstory.))

Name: Thermidor
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Appearance: A tall mature man with short brown hair, eyes, and a stubble, he has a rather muscular build thanks to his history in working in the military.

Backstory: Thermidor was once a strategist for the army of a small kingdom located in the north. Usually, he and a few others were responsible for planning of most campaigns though sometimes, they fought in the front as well during defensive battles. However, after eight years of constant war against a neighboring country, the kingdom fell from internal strife and sabotage. The lucky ones escaped from the onslaught of the attack in the capital, becoming exiled from their homeland. The rest where slaughtered and captured.

Thermidor was one of the lucky ones, successfully escaping with his life, a trusty sword and shield. But with everything lost, he had nothing else to do. And so he began to travel around the lands far away from his homeland, earning money through bounties. That is until he heard of rumors regarding the dijinn. He wanted to find it but unlike most who seek it, he had no true wish. Rather, it was curiosity that simply drove him to seek such a being. Maybe if he found it then his wish would become clear?

Question! Does any of the character sheet past 'name' actually have any effect?

Name   Lets use Derm until the above is answered.
Age 24-ish
Gender Yes.
Appearance Probably clothed, and with skin of some sort. Some hair, too.
Backstory  In all honesty he just kind of appeared out of thin air. Maybe he wished to delve the dungeon again? But then, from whence did he come originally?

Name: Billy Snow
Age: 23

He has some skill with a spear, do to being forced into the military during the Wheatfield War.

Name: Kel Dragonscratch
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance: She is tall and thin, with pale skin and short, lifeless black hair. Her nose is sharply hooked while ears are flattened against head. Always bearing a mirthless grin on thin lips, she looks rather creepy despite quite decent looks.
Backstory: After a bandit raid on her hometown, Kel was picked and raised by a cult of demon worshippers - not a decent lot in any way, but quite helpful and reliable otherwise. Years passed and she became full-fledged initiate. Now, she is on a mission of becoming full member of the cult. As for the wish... It could be that it is secondary to the initiation by dungeon itself. Or it might be the primary task given to her by the cult leader. Or even her own dark secret... After all, one can wish for anything...

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

Not really, other than giving me something to describe as I write, and providing a bit of a foundation to those who want to RP a bit.

Alright, looks like our lucky winners are:

Persus13, as Billy Snow,
Beirus, as Jase Bladeheart,
Yoink, as Pang the Wise,
Sarrak, as Kel Dragonscratch,

and last but not least,
Dermonster, as Derm

Everyone else has been added to the waitlist. And now, for the first turn.



Level One

The five of you step through the mouth of the cave into an immense hemispherical chamber, easily a hundred feet high. Jagged stalactites and stalagmites large enough to pass for pillars dot the ceiling and floor respectively, and at the far end of the chamber is a massive set of wooden double doors, half-rotted off of their hinges to reveal a passageway behind them. Right in the center of the room is a large wooden crate. While it's sealed tightly shut, a hole has rotted into the side facing the entrance to reveal a gleam of red-orange metal inside of it.
