Regretfully, although Spartan's picture was good from an artistic standpoint, it didn't quite capture the sense of a standard battle perfectly. Here is my attempt at it.

Also, for story purposes, I feel that Fred should begin to enjoy Jerv's company, and find his crazy antics amusing.

[Boksi]

I like Nirur's idea! That way when one useless load goes, both useless loads go!

Why am I being set on fire?

[Nirur Torir]

I ... umm ...

...

Sacrifices had to be made in order to destroy the monsters with maximum efficiency.

...

You were also in the way.

...

Okay, so I need more practice at aiming my spells. I thought it was an impressive cast, regardless.

I like Nirur's idea! That way when one useless load goes, both useless loads go!

I find myself unable to understand the meaning behind these words, although it feels very much like I should. 

[Phantom]

I should be trying to beat Jevr senseless.

[Creamcorn]

You can attack allies in battle, so I guess I'll see what I can do about that; also I'll be switching up the characters between each dungeon and what few (DIFFICULT) boss fights there are in the game.

So Nirur Torir, Jervous and Phantom your times up as soon as I get the key. And I just did mind you (I'm just preparing to update) so I need to know who's willing to be the next group of people to um... let's see I think the underground cavern is next.

A-Chana I'm getting ready to gen your character right now.

[A-chana]

Somehow, I feel like attacking each other in-game will only end badly (which of course means it should happen). I remember times when my whole party was confused, including my warrior holding a Wreck Whip and the cleric that kept everyone from dying. It got worse from there. Anyway, I can sit this part out since there's already three more waiting (unless one of them backs out for whatever reason; I'd like to jump in then if that somehow happens).

[Boksi]

I've had to wait long enough, haven't I? Let me in, let me in!

[Archangel]

I am ready to charge at whatever we come upon! No fear!

[Creamcorn]

Where to, where to I barely remember the whole lay out of the tower.

Maiz: Well, it's a tower does anyone see stairs going up?
Fred: No, a sign would be useful bu-
Jevr: Only the foolish type would see it!
Dan: Foolish (Oh for gods sake that damn jester!) Jevr, tell us where the stairs are.
Jevr: Dum de de du- what?
Dan: The stairs!
Jevr: Huh? Oh, um...
Dan: TALK!
Jevr: I don't know! Honestly I don't know!

Jevr leveled up again, yay!


We eventually found the stairs.

Maiz: To think an old man built this tower or had it built for himself.
Dan: That's quite an accomplishment.
Fred: He must be incredibly wealthy to have built this.
Jevr: I wonder what'll happen if you drop a gold piece off the top of this place?


Maiz: Whoa!
Jevr: Watch that step!
Fred: Please no ball antics here Jevr.

Dan leveled up again and he finally gained some decent stats.


Another flight of stairs!

Jevr: Hey look, we're heading up in life!
Dan: Urgh, just keep to yourself Jevr.
Fred: Hehe, I found it to be quite humorous.

We're getting pretty high!

Maiz: I don't think anyone would want to jump off.
Jevr: Or would we?
Dan: No, I don't think we would.
Fred: We could always land on a say ball perhaps? Haha.

Bleh, Babbles there's really only one type of babble that matters in this entire game but we won't see him for a looooong time.


Jevr is starting to take a lot of hits.

Jevr: OW! Groooss it smells like rotten cabbage dipped in manure!
Dan: (Well that's a fitting smell)

Annnd, level up!


Look! The last flight of stairs!

Jevr: The top! Oh boy! I'm going to be the first up there!
Dan: Great, he's going to drop a piece of gold off the top of the tower.
Fred: Let'em what's the worst that could happen?
Dan: We would be one gold piece short!
Jevr: I'm back!
Fred: Well?
Jevr: I found a door!
Dan: (Hey doesn't even know we're here for the thief's key.)


Fred: That's a door all right.
Maiz: Too bad it's locked.
Jevr: But wait! Don't you hear that!? Listen!
Maiz, Dan, Jevr & Fred: ...
????: *Snore* *Snore* *Snore*
Dan: Somethings over there... well? What're we waiting for!?

OH! Look a treasure chest!



Ah yes, the ever useful warpwing, warps you back to a previously visited town but you probably already figured that out.

Fred: Ah yes, that is quite the useful item you see it ha-
Maiz: WATCH OUT!

Magician: You shall not pass unless you answer me these questions thr- oh wait, wrong genre and medium. ...Kalimah kalimah!


Poor Jevr takes a really bad hit.

Jevr: AAWWAAHHHRRGH! By all that's wet and moist get me some water!
Dan: Hehe-hahaHAHA!
Fred: Jevr, stop drop and roll!
Jevr: WAAHAAWWAAHHHRHHGGG! IT BURNS! ITBURNSITBURNSITBURNSITBURNSITBURNSITBURNSITBURNS!
Dan: HAHAHAH-
Maiz: You're twisted!
Dan: Ahah- what!? No... I mean to hell with this... I'll get that magician!

Anyway! We move on and get a very nice medal for our troubles! And as you can see Jevr's taken quite the thrashing! And for Jesters, it will only get worse.

Jevr: Phew, it's finally out (I don't know how much more of this I can handle...)

And we make it to the end of the dungeon!


Tower Keeper: Here at last!
Maiz: That's right, I'm Maiz, me and my group came to your tower to obtain one of your thief keys.
Tower Keeper: Maiz, you say? I've dreamt of this ceaselessly...
Maiz: Wait wha-
Tower Keeper: Of giving you this Thief Key.


Maiz: Um, sure that's why we went through all of those monsters.
Tower Keeper: By the way, Maiz.
Maiz: (Please don't ask for something in return. Please don't ask for something in return. Please don't ask for something in return.)
Tower Keeper: There are books that can change the personality of any reader.
Maiz: (Phew just token information)
Tower Keeper: They are that persuasive. Be careful if you find such a book.
Maiz: O.K. is tha-


Tower Keeper: Now, go, Maiz. *YAWN* I shall resume my drea- *snore* *snore* *snore*
Maiz: Wow, not even grandpa goes to sleep that quickly.

Now to rob this old man blind!


YOINKS!

Fred: Don't you think we should put that back.
Maiz: Er... hold on, *SNAP!* *SNAP!* No, still sleeping, let's go.


Here's something that doesn't make sense.



That's right jumping off of any place brings back to the entrance, weird huh?


Anyway! Back to Aliahan!




Sooo... I see Boksi, Archangel and Spartan's character joining in the group next! No complains? No complains at all?

Jevr: *Sigh* Hey everyone, can I, say something?
Dan: If you're leaving, than I won't argue.

(And this is where all the bad talky talky ends! At least it was bad by my own standards! Or in other words I finally decided to pick up where I left on my hiatus.)

Dan: In the long run, we can't afford to have you in our group.
Maiz: Our? Since when was this whole journey about your own opinions!
Dan: I'm only stating what's best for the journey to save this entire world! AN-
Jevr: BEH BUH BAARGH! WWEARGH! I can't take this anymore! I'm outa here!


Fred:Hm, I hate to say, but I can't let that Jevr go just like that. In this world you don't know what to expect. I'll join him in his quest to search for whatever he may be looking for, don't try to persuade me, besides I'm sure we'll meet again.
Maiz: Bu-
Fred: Honestly don't, besides we should meet again, I'm completly sure of it.
Maiz: O.K., good luck to the both of you.


Dan: That's, just pathetic.
Maiz: Huh?
Dan: "Huh?" "Huh?" That's it!? You just let two members of "your group" go, just like that?
Maiz: Hey, they said they would be back!
Dan: Bullshit! Are you that stupid! Did you get a look of both of them? They would never last out there!
Maiz: If you want you're welcome to join them, I'm sure whoever is left would appreciate that course of action.
Dan: ... Maiz, in the long run it's not a good idea to get people pissed off.


Maiz: ...


Maiz: (BAH! As if it were ever my intention to travel as a group. I can deal with what ever this world has by myself. It's just a matter of going out there without any fear or hesitation! In the end I decide where my destiny lies and I know for sure that it doesn't lie with anyone I'll meet on this road. THAT'S IT! I'm outta here, by myself.)


Maiz: *Phew* Maybe this isn't such a great idea...



Maiz: Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.



Maiz: Though I'm not going to go down that easily!



Maiz: O.K., maybe I do need to go look for some help in this world.

[Jervous]

Yay, it's back!

[Nirur Torir]

Jubilation!

[Phantom]

WOO!

[Creamcorn]

While I was thinking of the next update, it occurred to me that anyone reading this topic would become easily confused by the next few updates.

Here is why, Troy and Dan plus Fred and Pyro look completely the same. The only remedy for this is if you (Spartan and Archangel) edit your character sprites. If you guys can't, then I'll do something to make them look different.

Here's what I need to continue.
-16X16 dimensions
-Minimum of four colors (any) for the sprite
-Four view points of your characters (North, south, east, west)
-Sprites must have two animations (you know for walking The orginal DW3 have a shuffling movement going on)
-.bmp or .png, which ever floats your boat

And I'd like it if the sprites came in a sort of easily cut and pastable way. You know, a type of grid manner form like this

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Note again, I only need a total of eight different frames, if you want to throw in anything else for the hell of it, be my guest.

[Archangel]

I'm sorry, but I think you'll have to do mine. Please make my gear black.
