Ah, the Bay12 Skyscraper. An eldritch spire of imagination and wonder. A masterfully engineered, long chain of pocket dimensions of all kinds, connected by a vast teleportation system that allows people to go to any floor from anywhere else in it in only moments. It was created and built by various beings of equal diversity to its floors, united under the same ancient realm and its protector and creator deity. It is still being added on and built ''up''- whatever that may mean in interdimensional terms- as I am writing this, and it may continue to be built for ages to come. But this adventure is not about it. In fact, Bay12 Skyscraper is only very distantly, if not at all, relevant to the happenings of this venture.
Instead, what will you see here is an another skyscraper entirely, its name lost to time. While it is structurally mostly same, it is younger and shorter. The realm it resides has been long since abandoned by its inhabitants, and so had its growth come to an halt equally long ago. It's reality connectors are unstable, with the only means of transport between floors being an elevator.
The reason you are here? You are here to contain. A race of demented apparitions roam this towers many floors. A few people who returned tell the stories of horrifying cubical beings and their wailings, screams, laughter, and their maddening, unceasing clickings. You shall detain and resolve this anomaly as your quest. Then you will make sure to destroy whatever the entrance dimension of this tower is, thus sealing it forever away.
Go on brave adventurers, and do not fret at the insanities you will find inside!In this game, you will be traversing a skyscraper. Your goal is to traverse this abandoned tower and deal with the dangers inside. The dice determines your success, your characters can't be OP, you know the deal.
Dice is 20 sided. The values are below.
1,2,3
Compeletly missed, catastrophic results.
4,5,6
Inaccurate, bad but its not that bad.
7,8,9
Mediocre accuracy, not bad but not good either.
10,11,12
Good, but could be better, generally good but rather small results.
13,14,15
Great, but not that great.
16,17,18
Awsome, pretty much what you wanted, but can come with a bad twist.
19,20
Perfect, exactly what you wanted.
The elevator, which is what carries you onto the next floor and beyond, only activates when everyone in your party is inside it. You will have to cooperate, and ascending floors alone is usually not an option.
