The Dwarf Saga [RTD] Turn 4: Stupid, stupid, stupid!
« on: April 25, 2010, 03:08:19 pm »

Okey, looks like it finally started. Time for some action(s)!

Basically this will be little like Dwarf Fortress. Atleast the stuff i heard from it.
"Burning dwarfes, drowning dwarfes and possibly the two at the same time."
It can will be very random so feel free and do Awesome actions maybe resulting in Awesome Turns.  :o

Keep in mind that this is my first RTD/story telling thing EVER.
It will probably take some turns and time to make it good, if it ever will be.
Oh and it will be an adventure rtd, not dwarf fortress.

The time difference will probably be weird so ill make the turns whenever i can. I live in Sweden.
On another note i will join myself. Now how weird isnt that? I will keep it fair tho and not take advantage.

5 slots open for now so i can keep track of it all.

Name:
Gender: (ofc you can be a freak without one but i mean come on...)
Race: (preferably some kind of dwarf race but ill accept others, just not to far fetched)
Ability: (Anything Goes almost anything. +1 in roll)
Type: (what type of person you are)

Player List (5/5):
Meanmelter [Meanmelter]
Nil [Faden]
Vincent [VincValentine]
Jets [Jetsquirrel]
Michael [Takos_360]

Waiting List (3/?):
Alexander Kirby [ExKirby]
Urist McBatista [Batista]
Kamina [Spartan 117]


The Dwarf City
Named Udirgisk after its snake like shape and famous coal mines.
  Located at the feet of a mountain climbing upwards on it's side it is a really stunning sight for any mortal to behold. There is a saying that the first time you see Udirgisk you will stare at its beauty for hours to come.
  In the town itself there is a hugh amount of trading shops, but mostly not because of the many people coming to trade, but because of the many dwarfes starting stupid fights breaking every damn one of them.
  The coal mines go deep through the whole inside of the mountain creating a vast labyrinth only the skilled dwarf miners know how to navigate in. Any stranger trying to go in there will probably be trapped for days before he's found.
  Outside the stunning city there is a large old forest hiding many secrets. Legends say that there are many old and strange magic creatures in it and the one who dares to enter never comes back. Although the inhabitants of the city say it's just to scare the children none dares to enter.


Meanmelter: As you get down from your favorite lookout at the highest part of the city (being a Mountain Dwarf and all) you head towards your home for a long earned nap. Holding your old Pickaxe tightly you found when you were only a youngster you head home. Then you notice it has become quite dirty and probably need a cleaning. Changing course you head down towards the trading shops.

Nil: Because this was your day off and you hadn't taken a bath for over a month you thought you should head out of the coal mine and go bash some trading shops... and take a bath. Walking towards the exit of the mine you put on your Sun Goggles. You needed them because your eyes were so ultra sensitive against light after being down in the dark for so long and never left without them. You never know what could happen.

Vincent: Stumbling out from the shadowy forest into the bright midday sun you have to hold your hand above your face to not get blinded. You try and look around and then spot the huge city. Never seen it before you stand there for a minute of two just shocked. Then you get your senses back and again feel the hunger in your belly. Seeing so many people walking in and out from the city there atleast got to be some food for you to take. Thinking this is a great opportunity you head for the main gate in your robe. If you didnt have the robe there would be no way for you to get in because of your odd appearance. People would stare. *chills* You got the remember to thank the human you took it from.

Jets: Finally entering the main gate of Udirgisk you leave your long journeybehind you.
This is what you wanted. A new start, in a new place, far far away. Even though you only walked half a mile and the only danger you were in was a barking dog, you still feel like it was epic and totally worth it.
Heading in the only direction you can think of you walk forward. You will probably be ending up in the town market as the traders walk side to side with you in the same direction. Maybe you should get a weapon? Now that would be cool.

Michael: Coming out from the house you stayed the night in you stretch and sigh thinking it was so worth it using your earth bending skills to create it. Hungry as you are you walk towards the market for a snack with your old sturdy staff, going deep in thought as always. "I wonder how to make those delicious pancakes mother always made..." Anyhow you collide with the people you meet and it doesn't take you long to tumble into a dwarf. He gave you an angry stare and rolled up he's sleeves. But by now that has to be the 100th time you do that and quickly say your sorry and give him a silver coin. Nothing works better than a little money in this town. Even though that was your last one...

Intro.
After everyone arrive at the town center most of you look at all the shiny wares and a few go to get some food. After walking around minding your own business you all feel something strange, almost... evil? Then every person on the street suddenly falls to the ground unconsious. Looking around you all notice eachother being the only people not affected. Starting to walk towards eachother you then hear a high peeping sound tearing through your ears and you all fall to the ground in pain, also you now unconsious.
Some time pass and one by one you all start to wake up. Now the question remains, what happend?

It's time to post some actions! :D

Stop posting so fast ppl! I appreciate it but i can't even get started and "explain" more how it works.  :D

Just to clearify, this is not gonna be like Dwarf Fortress like many probably will think. I said that mostly because what i heard from friends its very fun, random, and the dwarfes go crazy and die. hehe
It will probably be more like an adventure starting in Dwarf Fortress continuing to the unknown.

And for Type it is what personality the character has.

Also, opening post stealer. >.>

Name: Vincent
Gender: Male
Race: Beastman; Half human and half wolf. Basically has wolf ears, tail and nose.

Well, you know how if you take your thumb and forefinger and hold them up to your eye, you can make it look like you're squishing someone's head? It's like that, only for real.

I look around to see if there's any people other than us. See if I can find the cause of the sound-knockout thing. If I can't find anything I'll just create a pile of metal infront of me.

Due to being scared, I run towards the coal mine, realizing they dug strait ahead, i dig about a 4x4 room about 150 feet away from the mine, the only way into the room is a 3x1 hallway, which I channel to make sure no-one can waltz inside, and building a bridge when I feel the need to go outside.
