I was really inspired by Jackrabbit to make my own story with AsciiDraw. I should try to post pictures as fast as possible.
Anyway, it's an adventurer story based on 8 characters. 6 are dwarves which are there from the beginning of the story. The other 2 will come in later, and can be any civilization race (including kobolds). I control 2 of the dwarves but anyone can have the rest. So it's easier to see your character, I'll give them custom colours via paint. Right now, the main character is orange. Let's get started.



(Orange) Komul: "I feel like we've been sitting in this rotten ship forever."
Cellmate: "Komul, we can wait. Believe me, we'll make it there soon."
Komul: "What if I don't want to make it there? At least in the ship there's windows...open seas.."
Cellmate: "Yeah, but at the mountainhome cells there is engravings."
Komul: "It's not the same. I know it's undwarf-like, but the outside is so beautiful. I don't want to arrive...but I want to get off this ship."
Cellmate: "I think you've gone stark raving mad."



Stranger: "Are you Komul Clearverses?"
Komul: "Yeah...who are you?"
The Stranger leans in before whispering: "I've come to break you out of here."
Cellmate: "Don't listen to him, Komul."
Komul: "Break me out? How? There's two guards down here."
Stranger: "With this." he pulls back his cloak and reveals a heavy looking mace, adorned with rings of silver.
Komul: "Well why do you want to break me out? I'm noone special."
Stranger: "We can discuss this later. I'll break the bars. Stand back."
Komul: "How am I supposed to trust you?"
Stranger: "You're going to have to."
Cellmate: "Kill the guards and let all of the prisoners out. That'll make Komul trust you."
Komul: "Um, I guess. Maybe just-"





Stranger: "Well? Let's go."

Well, that's that. I need four people to be four dwarves if they're interested. Post your applications like so:

Name:
Skills:
Personality:
Gender:

By the way, this is somewhat of a combat-heavy story, so make sure to have atleast some combat skills. Other DF skills might come in handy later, if anyone wants them.


After those highboots are filled, I'll post the rest of the story.


By the way, if you're wondering why there were so many jewelers in jail, have you ever noticed that they're always the ones that get punished for ignoring mandates? I sure have. By the way, none of the jewelers will be named characters. They're meatshields for now. Unless your character is a jeweler...heh.

in the last picture, the orange guy turns blue.

[Dohon]

Name: Dohon Ironhide
Skills: Hammerdwarf / Weaponsmith or Smelter (your pick, Jervous)
Personality: A rather tall (by Dwarf Standards) dwarf. He's at first reserved to strangers, but quickly warms to them. Tends to trust everyone, but his trust has been abused several times. While not quick to anger, he does keep the concept "honour" close to heart. He will make sure that justice is served, so anyone who wrongs him (or his concept of honour, glorious battle and death by last stand), tends to become a bloody pulp. Will do a lot for the dwarves he considers to be his friends. He favours the hammer and likes beating metal into shape ... or goblins into goo.
Gender: Male.

Looking forward to reading more.

[zestorum]

Name: D-Duck
Skills: Sword Dwarf
Personality: Dark, he loves torturing his prey before beheading them. He is also very loyal, however.
Gender: Male

[Grimlocke]

Name: Datan Noseboots
Skills: Speardwarf, ambusher, some lower levels of shield user. Also bonecarving!
Personality: A skinny dwarf of questionable morals, his orriginal profession was bonecarver, but he was drafted into being a speardwarf. Due to his unwillingness to die for the army, he deserted from the army, tried to hide, but got caught and thrown in jail. He does not adhere to any code of honour, and fights by hiding in the dark, puncturing vital organs with his spear before falling back. He is likely to run away and hide like a coward if he loses his weapon.
He likes bone, leather, tallow soap, sneaking and spears for their critical hits. He is easily angered by his last name being mocked.
Gender: Male

[Jackrabbit]

Name: Gholas "Dogbone" Obrien
Skills: Is extremely talented with a poleaxe. And French kissing. Yeah.
Personality: Extremely calm and cool. And stupid. He is very, very stupid. It's probably genetic. Luckily, he is a fantastic poleaxe wielder and made a living killing things for other people. Recently, he was paid, in bottlecaps, by a paranoid hobo, to kill a high ranking guardsman. He was caught. On a full moon, he becomes intelligent. Don't ask why.
Gender: male.

I know, I just didn't have the guts to say it. 

Dark Grey - Dohon (Also, you get weaponsmith.)
Yellow - D-Duck (duck bill)
Swamp Green - Datan (strange mood!!)
White - 'Dogbone' (It's a full moon right now btw)




Stranger: "Komul, we need to fight our way to the deck of the ship, then kill the captain and take control of the ship."
Komul: "Whoa, why can't we just go in an escape boat? Why do we need the ship?"
Stranger: "I haven't explained it yet, but when I do hopefully it'll all become clear."
Cellmate: "Well, we might aswell get acquainted first. You can call me D-Duck."
Stranger: "You don't need to know my name."
Jeweler: "My name's Urist."
Another Jeweler: "So is mine..."
A different Jeweler: "Dorfs, stop joking around. I'm the only Urist here."
Komul: "All of the jewelers are named Urist then."
Dwarf: "My name is Dohon. I will follow you, friends, till the end. Or at least until after we get off of this boat."
Dwarf: "You can call me 'Dogbone'. I did some really stupid things and was thrown in jail."
A voice yells from a cell: "I'm Datan!  I like bones. I was thrown in here because I deserted the navy."



D-Duck: "I'm competent with a blade, so I'll take this guard's sword."
Komul: "I trained with a sword for a while too. I'll take the other guard's sword."
Datan: "By the way, can you bust open this cell?"
Stranger: "...Why?"
Datan is brooding darkly... "I need those bones for a project..."
Stranger: "Fine, whatever."
Komul: "Hurry, let's go! Before more guards come down. That was pretty loud."



(The stranger is wearing armor and a heavy mace, so he isn't there yet.)
Komul: Urist, wait for the Stranger. Him, D-Duck and I are the only ones with weapons."
Urist: "I can handle them. I'm a dabbling wrestler!"
Komul: "Wait!"



Guard: "PRISON BREAAAAK!!!"
Urist2: "Crap!"
Stranger: "Oh for Armok's sake."

Will the prisoners be able to fight off the guards? Will Urist2 die a painful shishkebab death? Tune in next time to find out!

[Dohon]

When all else fails, throw an Urist at a guard. Dwarf Bowling!

Looking forward to more Prison Break, Dwarf Style!

[Paulus Fahlstrom]

(I might as well join in. I'll take the mechanic downstairs. (The red one that was unclaimed) Make me a hammerdwarf.

Name:Blutwurst
Occupation:Mechanic (or siege engineer or pump operator... it's hard to tell)/Hammerdwarf
Personality: Doesn't like talking much but is a sharp observer. When he does talk it's usually to say something important or relevant. Either that or be bitingly sarcastic/witty.

No preferred gender

Sorry, that was a mistake. That dwarf is supposed to be Datan, but I forgot to change his colour. Once we get off the ship, there are two more positions for characters. They can be any race. If you want one of them, I'll let you have a preorder, or something

ANYWAY SORRY FOR THE DELAY I COULDN'T FIND ASCIIDRAW ON MY DESKTOP




Komul: "Hurry, let's go D-Duck!"
D-Duck: "We'll make them wish they were dead!"
Stranger: "...Meh."



Spearman's heart is pierced!
Spearman's thumb on right hand is cut!
Spearman's hand, left arm is cut!


Spearman has bled to death.
D-Duck hacks at Spearman!
Spearman's upper body is cut!
The =Iron Sword= is stuck in the wound!



Stranger bashes Spearman with ☼Steel Flail☼!
Spearman's left leg is bruised!
Spearman's right leg is broken!
Spearman's upper body is bruised!
Spearman's lower body is bruised!
Spearman's right arm is broken! They drop their weapon!
Spearman has bled to death.

Datan: "Nice, a weapon..."
D-Duck: "Phew...that was a close one."
Urist2: "I'll take a spear too. I used to be a record keeper before a more talented immigrant came."
Komul: "Glad that's over. Urist2, can you keep lookout while we rest?"
Urist2: "Sure, why not."



Komul: "Stranger, I want you to talk, now. Why do you want me out of here? What am I going to do for you?"
Stranger: "I'll tell you once we take over the ship."
Komul: "You're stark raving mad."
Stranger: "I can tell you one thing. We will be going to Cogburrow soon."
Komul: "Cogburrow? I've never even heard of that said in our language before. Where is it?"
Stranger: "Over the Sea of Demons. That's why I'm taking over the ship."
Komul: "Why me?"
Stranger: "You don't know? It's quite simple really. You used to be the captain of this ship."
Komul: "Er, I don't know what you're talking about."
Stranger: "Komul, you will pilot the ship to sail to Cogburrow. There, I will explain more."
Komul: "I'm not sailing anywhere until we go to Toadtribute, that human town by the shore of the sea."
Stranger: "Fine. It's a deal."



'Dogbone': "Did you fellows say Cogburrow?"
Stranger: "Yes. You know of it?"
'Dogbone': "Of course. I used to be a guard there yaknow. All the dwarven women were infatuated with me, they were. I must've french kissed over fifty girls! Oh yes, those were the days."
Stranger: "You know how to get there?"
'Dogbone': "Yes! It's embedded in my memory. I usually guarded our caravans safe passage over the seas.
Stranger: "Then it's settled, you'll be our navigator."
'Dogbone': "Sounds boring, but I'll do anything to go back there. It was amazing!"
Komul: "Amazing? How?"
'Dogbone': "Oh, you'll see. I don't want to ruin it for you. You have to see for yourself."




I gave you two extra pictures for missing yesterday. I'll make two more later today.



I think I didn't make any mistakes that time..hopefully not. By the way, if anyone wants Urist2, I guess you can have him. I've grown somewhat attached to him. Just be ready to lose him though.

[Grimlocke]

Hehe, piloting ships. Sailing airplanes?

Nicely done otherwise, looking forward to the next ones.

[LegoLord]

Still two guys left, right?  I'll take a male Human:
Name: Legon
Profession: Armorsmith/Axedwarf
Personality:  A little quiet normally, but makes semi-frequent outbursts of comedic oddity.  He likes fitting things (puzzles, etc.) together.
