[Urist Arrhenius]

Chroma Arcana

   The White Wizard stands before you, flanked by the Red Warlock, Green Sorcerer, and Blue Mage.

   ”Welcome, initiates. Within lies arena, designed to select from amongst you only those worthy. Those of weak will need not enter, but great power awaits those who brave the challenges.”

   The Red Warlock split off from the group and went to stand in front of two doors. ”Through my path lies might. You will gain the strength to crush those who oppose you.”

   From another set of doors the Green Sorcerer spoke. ”Through my path lies harmony. The world around will serve you, and you will discover great secrets.”

   Finally the Blue Mage intoned, ”Through my path lies peace. You will gain the power over life, and the wisdom to protect it.”

Which path will you choose?

Did I do that right? Not sure what I should put in pool. Also, why can't we choose the White Wizard?

Also good! Our red apprentices are chosen, and as soon as the other two paths are filled we'll begin. Which means I also need to get all of the maps made soon.

Turn 1

   As you each approach your door the White Wizard gives you one last piece of information. ”Within you will face many challenges. After your personal chambers you will all find yourselves together in the arena proper. At its heart is a wealth of power for those who can breach it. At its fringes lie passages to the three Guardians, the true tests of your strength. How you choose to approach these challenges is at your discretion, but there will only be one victor. We are sure you would all make great apprentices, but only can be chosen…”

   You each found a winding hallway, disorienting in its twists and turns. It ended suddenly in a broad door, which locked behind you as you stepped through it. There would be only one way out of this arena, and only one of you would be able to take it…

((NOTE: Reading GM Notes is almost always worthwhile, and they frequently contain important info. For example, this one contains a rule change to help speed things along.))

You're both on the waitlist. I'm not positive character sheets won't change between this round and the next, so I'm not gonna put you down as definitely using those submissions, but you'll have priority.

Let me know if I made any mistakes or anything about the turn is unclear. Right now its rather formulaic, because I'm not confident how this is going to balance out and I don't want to give anyone especially large advantages for the arena.

RULE CHANGE: You can now take 2 actions after your free movement. The OP is changed to reflect this.

The door south of me is the one I just came through right? I'm guessing it's locked now?
