In an attempt to (hopefully) improve my writing, narrative skills, and dice-fu, I'm going to host this RTD adventure.

The adventure takes place in a DF universe, so no magic or guns. The skills are being trimmed down a bit to avoid large combat formulas. Try to avoid running headfirst into suicide.

I'm going to be using a wide variety of dice. Starting with simple d4's for determining the general idea of the event. Then, I use die with more sides for more complex events. I'll probably hold off on some of the less prominent rolls (say, initiative and damage, since you can figure those out easily).

I'll grab the first (sane) post and use that as his action. Each action can consist of multiple parts, so don't be afraid to do "Throw rock at the elf, then charge at him" instead of "Pick up rock".

Anyway, let's give this a go. First poster gets to choose Cenath's last name and a basic skills (Swordsdwarf, Digger, etc.)



You've finally been released from jail! The sheriff has unlocked your cage and left you with a meal.

You are in a prison. There is an unlocked door that leads outside. Two guards are standing guard in the room. Outside, you can hear the sounds of a bustling fortress. Next to you is the leftovers from your free prison meal. Farther away is the dead body of a dwarf. It seems that the hammerer just finished his shift.

Someone else may have the choice of last names but i choose for him to be a Speardwarf

>Exit Cell_

[blah28722]

You exit your cage. You are now in the middle of the prison room.

(Too simple, I just counted that as a free action)

>Find Spear_

[Jervous]

>Get out of there!

Name: Boredweller

[blah28722]

{Overall: 2/4}

You look around the room for anything that could resemble a spear.

{Spotting: 19/20}

You notice that one of the guards is carrying an exceptional steel spear. He's also looks very strong and imposing.

There's also a broken wooden cage. You might be able to break off one of the bars to use it as a spear.

The dead dwarf seems to have been some sort of recruit. Perhaps he might have something of interest on him.


EDIT: Retroactive nerf!

search dead dwarf

[blah28722]

{Searching: 13/20}

It seems that the guards don't mind you defiling the dead body of another dwarf. You begin searching the body.

{Luck: 2/6}

It would appear that the other dwarves have already gotten to this body. It's practically naked. You've managed to find an empty worn backpack, a badly warped iron helm, and a dead dwarf.

[Diakron]

ask guard for spear

[blah28722]

{Bluff Roll: 16/20}
{Luck Roll: 4/6}

You tell the guard dwarf that you were the original guard for that post. You attempt to convince him to take a break and to give his armor to you.

The guard doesn't believe that a prisoner is the guard (+5 to bluff resist). He also doesn't wish to give away his masterwork spear (+5 to bluff resist).
{Guard Bluff Check: 13(+10)/20}

The guard refuses to give anything to you, "I've been on prison duty for as long as you've been in there, idiot. I've been in here far too long. Maybe if you got me some food and booze..."

[Diakron]

find the way out of here

[blah28722]

{Overall: 3/4}

You make your way out of the prison. You are in a bustling fortress. You see quite a few shops, but you have nothing to trade with. A nearby sign points out the directions to the main gate, living quarters, and workshops.

[Diakron]

attempt to go into a fey mood

[blah28722]

{Fey Mood Roll: 347/1000}

You can't think of anything you want to create.
