Hi all, after enjoying playing other peoples RTD's i thought id give it a try my self. Dont exspect a very good background/into, im going to be brutaly honest.
Background:
The five dwarfs, after an adventure filled (to there dislike) journey through killer bogs, haunted forests and the occasional magma man, had finaly made it to the dwarven city of "nashon kulet" or as the humans called it, "The Bloody Abbey". The city was famous in dwarven history for being the first city made near the centre of the earth. It is also remembered to be the last of such citys, due to its many masacres by the forces of magma, dwarf men and women going mad from what they called "Magma flu", which made people belive real magma was flowing through there vains and also for it's dodgy nobles. Once the people of the city left, it was rumored that a small group had stayed at the dwarven king him selfs request and had found untold treasures.... How ever this was five decades ago, during which time an almost scared state of ignorance had started about the misery of Nashon Kulet.
Intro:
"Well this place is a dump isint it?" said one of the five, coolie flicking a spec of magma off his shirt. "Ow shut up you Urist McAwsomepants, we arent even at the famous gates of gatal" said the leader of the group. "Ageless?... I wonder why they call it that...", said the third dwarf who was the groups butcher/cook/medic. "I'm shure we are going to find out soon just shut up and keep walking", said the forth dwarf, a somewhat angry hauler, who had been draging his donkeys for the last 5 hours due to them being scared of magma. "Well the faster we leave, get the gold and gems, the beter. Im even starting to wonder if they are worth the trouble", said the final dwarf, a son of a nobles, who had then became a knight of the kings order, his heavy armour and weaponry in his pack hadint helped his attitude on the journey from the wagon. "I reckon its a big lie about all this rubish of massacres an......", as they turned the corner they came face to face with a large pile of bodys, in there hundreds, all of them dwarfs, how ever most of the gore had either molded away..... or eaten. "Shit", said the leader, as the once tough dwarf of the group emptyed his stomach all over the ground. "This isint go-......", and with that all the dwarves looked up and stared into the face of the gate of gatal........
OOC: Sorry if it sucked, but you win some you lose some.
Household rules:
No, you arent getting super mega death fireballs for no reason, so dont even try, ok?
Should someone in the list of people not reply for there person for more then a day or so, you will be replaced. I dont want this going cold turkey because someones holding it up.
If, (sorry, when) someone passes away, i will make it another dwarf is sent after them to help (AKA a new persons turn), how ever should there be a reason the group coudint get any more help at some point (someone does a major flop out and caves the roof in maybe), then your going to have to wait. Sorry.
