This is my brand new rtd, since the last ine died due to me failing to post an update due to RL stuff, so here we go again. I am older and wiser now, however, so let's do this properly. I have planty of free time in my hands, so I want severe prodding if I fail to update!

You are a bunch of people in a standard RPG town, presumably about to go on an unspecified adventure. Who are you? What is in the rulebook? Not much and quite a lot, not nessecarily in that order.

This is a standard RTD, you post an action, I roll a dice, and then determine how much you fail. If you roll a:
1: Miserable failiure
2: Failiure
3: Not quite a failiure, not quite a success.
4: Success
5: Perfect success
6: Overshot

As for the peoples...

Name: Mimic Chest
Appearance: It's a long and tall creature that disguises itself as a chest to eat adventurers. It has a lot of sharp teeth, a sticky tongue he uses to trap adventurers in his mouth and very long limbs. Totally a chest filled with riches, I swear.
Background: He traveled from dungeon to dungeon and ate some people alive. It's a chest in the middle of nowhere with extremely valuable loot inside. Who could have left this here, in the middle of a dungeon?

Name: Jack Stein
Appearance: On the younger side, decked out in artificer's garb, with a backpack full of parts and a pair of magic-detecting goggles.
Background: Traveling craftsman, hobbyist mage, and prolific engineer and enchanter. All your equipment enchanted with auto-repair, guaranteed. That the blunderbuss I made for you won't break, somewhat less so.

Name: Normal NPC
Appearance: A usual trading NPC
Background: He used to be a adventurer like you, but he took an arrow to the knee, and now he's selling armours, weapons and other adventuring goods

Name: Flailer
Appearance: A duck clad in a purple cloak.
Background: Ordinary duck background until a lonely retired mage with bad eyesight mistook him for an apprentice. He was given this cloak on the day of graduation and the name Flailer for his tendency to flail around wildly in combat and somehow masterfully flay his opponents.

Name: Gilbert Granite, Villager #65
Appearance: Brown hair, Brown eyes, No beard, average height.
Background: Raised in the village.

Name : qassatoughua
Appearance : illithid clad in bright red robe
Background : somewhat ordinary illithid focused on evil doing and sucking out brains

NAME: YOINK
APPEARANCE: GROSS HEAVY METAL PEASANT YOU ALL KNOW AND LOVE
BACKGROUND: DISGRUNTLED FORUMITE MISLED BY "MINIMALIST" DESCRIPTOR, DETERMINED TO SEEK JUSTICE FOR THIS HEINOUS CRIME AND PREFERABLY GET FILTHY RICH IN THE PROCESS

Name: Vesuvius
Appearance: A BIG FIRE BREATHING DRAGON.
Background: ACCIDENTALLY CAUSED MOUNT VESUVIUS ERUPTION AND ENDED UP HERE AFTER EXPLOSION.

Name: Varg III The Merciless
Appearance: A tall, muscular, blonde, blue-eyed white man wearing mail armor and a golden crown.
Background: A ruthless king of Northlands, Varg and his Northmen warriors terrorized mainland for over 30 years, pillaging every settlement for gold, glory and lulz.

Name: Jefari Plankfinger, Duke of [TOWN]
Appearance: A fairly average, dark-haired man of a fairly young age. Usually wears an odd smile that ranges from wry to bemused to... somewhat unhinged. Somewhat unkempt, despite the best efforts of the household servants. The most impressive thing about him is without a doubt his carefully cultivated goatee, which he is given to stroking whilst deep in thought or otherwise distracted.
Background: Recently became ruler of [TOWN] after the really, really tragic deaths of his father and three older brothers in a wholly unexpected, unthinkable freak hunting mishap that was wholly accidental and certainly not anyone's fault. Public opinion of the young noble is fairly unanimously "meh" - he's pretty much useless and leaves most of the actual governing to his advisors, but perhaps that's for the best. He's fairly harmless. Certainly an improvement from his cruel, tyrannical father and his tougher, nastier older brothers.
Fun fact: the Plankfinger dynasty's origins lie with Jef's great-grandfather, a peasant who, thanks to the bizarre and supposedly "progressive" employer liability laws in a neighbouring land, was able to use his obscene sum of compensation money after crushing his right index finger during the construction of the king's new manor to purchase the makings of a small duchy, whilst his homeland fell into lawlessness and ruin after its strange legal practices caused it to go bankrupt.

You hide in the town market and look very inviting, which isn't hard, since you're definately a chest of treasure. The citizens see you, and about 4 seperate individuals open you, and are never seen again for presumably unrelated reasons.

Start spreading rumors of the mystic chest that grants you anything you want to lure tasty adventurers to consume.

1
You're attempts to spread rumors make people realise that the chest over there can talk, and they start to stay as far away from you as possible.

Open up and enchanting shop.

4
You set up an enchanting shop in the Shop street and recieve a decent amount of custom, although you don't have too mcuh left afterwards what with getting food and the like.

Sell my adventuring goods to any characters that come into my shop with a usual line of "What do you need?"

3
Your shop hasn't been doing too well recently, although not badly enough for you to starve to death. An enchantment shop recently opened next door to you, by the way.

[Glass]

Mh hmn. Sounds like I need to sell better goods, and to do that, I'll need better enchantments.

And to get better enchantments, I'll need to find some new enchanted items.

Dungeon expedition time!
(Note: all objects are to be prodded with a sword, pole, or other such tool prior to contact, so as to not get jumped by magically disguised enemies and monsters)

[randomgenericusername]

Damn. Find a dungeon and hide on it, waiting for adventurers to search it for loot and be consumed by me.

You enter on eof the many dungeons in the surrpunding landscape, and slowly go inside.
It's dark, and damp. You go down a long coridoor, but see no doors on either side. Finally, you come face to face with either an archway leading into the deep the deep darkness, or a locked door. What do you do?

Damn. Find a dungeon and hide on it, waiting for adventurers to search it for loot and be consumed by me.

[2]
You find a dungeon easily enough, the landscape is teeming with old ruins from an Empire that was once entirely centered in this valley. However, as you go deep into a random dungeon, you discover that the locals don't appreciate a random chest walking around, and you get mauled by goblins, who leave you in an extremely weakened state just outside the ruin entrance.

Find some food.

[6]
You find some bread. You eat the bread. It's quite delicious. It is warm, buttery, and beutiful on the inside, and it has a flakey crust. You suddenly realise that you are now addicted to bread.

Get my old sword and armour and go dungeon expedition, i wont let some random guy take over my bussiness

[2]
You go out to find a dungeon, but as you go in, someone appears from nowhere, beats you senseless, and leaves you outside with your sword stolen and youe right leg broken. You could probably give a quest to a passing adventurer to gat it back, though.

Search for an adventurer to pester.

[5]
You find an adventurer, and start to pester him.
[5]
He eventually buys you a drink to make you shut up.

Break out the Thieves' Tools set and take out the lockpicks. More effort is more worth it. Let's open that door.
