In the April sun
Four souls meet their destinies
To win or to die

Spoiler: Introduction (click to show/hide)

Hey, I'm Robocorn, pleased to meet you. I'm going to be GMing this thing.
for the past year or so I've been running a puzzle free, hand drawn, story driven game with no end in sight.
For a change of pace, I figured I'd do the exact opposite for a little while and try my hand at some puzzles.

Fantasy Fun-geon runs like a normal suggestion game with a little bit of roll-to-dodge thrown in.
Readers post suggestions on the thread ordering a specific character to do a task. Precedence for the task
will be determined by popularity first then chronologically (quote to establish popularity, veto if the first poster is
drunk or something) After all of the characters have been assigned orders they are executed simultaneously
with success being based on the roll of FUDGE dice (mmm fudge).
The success metric is as follows

 6-Beyond the awesome
 5-Amazing
 4-Great
 3-Good
 2-Success
 1-Marginal Success
 0-Inconsequential Failure
-1-Marginal Failure
-2 Failure
-3 Consequential Failure
-4 Critical Failure
-5 Cyclone Clusterf**k
-6 HAHAHA OH WOW

Modifiers are applied the the rolls of the FUDGE dice based upon the stats of the charcter.
LIFE:How many screw ups you can endure.
NIM:Nimbleness, the ability to jump and tumble and sneak and move with finesse and acrobatics
BUL:Bulkiness, the ability to deal out damage, display feats of strength, and shrug off injuries.
STB:Stubbornness,the ability to resist fear, magic, and the realization that you've been wrong about something.
WEP:Weapon skill, the ability to bash and slash things with implements of death.
AIM:Aim, the ability to hit things with other things without standing nest to those things.

Rules will be revised based on ambiguity and logic, unless they prouce awesome results.

Spoiler: Kobold Kave:Story (click to show/hide)

All are on pins and needles in Hammerrock, the bead of dawn has been stolen.
While it is true that the bead of dawn resembled any other microcline bracelet, the bracelet's true value
was in its creator, the hulking hammerer Catten Ironbriggs, who enjoyed a life as a craftsdwarf before
being taught to pulverize heads. Thus, it was the grievous theft of this treasured artifact that brought
about the great awkward silence in Hammerrock, a vast uncomfortable hush amongst the population in
a desperate attempt to prevent the theft from reaching Catten's ears.

Upon the third day of the seventh week of uncomfortable silence the dwarves of Hammerrock decided
that something had to be done, lest they hold their tongues to Catten's deathbed. The dwarves assembled
the most affordable team of adventurers they could scrounge and set them to the relatively nearby cave
of Dinkus, where pilfering kobolds dwell. The fate of conversation in Hammerrock depeands on these brave
heroes ability to outsmart kobolds. The dwarves pray that so much can be said of them.

Characters (right to left)

Spoiler: Damso (click to show/hide)

Bio:Damso Swiftoar the night of crowding gets result, at least that's  what he tells
people. He earned his title in a foreign land for killing some indeterminate number of murderous wolves
and will insist that he be addressed by the whole title. The dwarves of Hammerrock don't know if he's good
at anything but animal control, but he took the job without asking for payment, so they figure they've got nothing to lose.
LIFE:1 0
NIM:0
BUL:+1
STB:+2
WEP:1
AIM:0

Spoiler: Urist (click to show/hide)

Bio:Urist Boardblade is one of Hammerrock's liveliest fighters
because Urist has never seen a fight. For the past fifteen years he ha conveniently
slept through four elven skirmishes, two goblin sieges, and a giant flying snake made of lava.
The dwarves of Hammerrock figure he'll do about as good a job defending the fort a few miles away.
LIFE:1
NIM:-2
BUL:+1
STB:+1
WEP:0
AIM:-1

Spoiler: Casi (click to show/hide)

Bio:Casi Oakthrush is a little bit confused. Urist said he was taking him back to Wrenglade
but now he's at some cave holding a leash with some creepy goblin on it.  He remembers the merchants
looking upset when the dwarves refused to speak, but he didn't think  they'd leave without him. Urist
says that this is just a little errand and that they'll be getting to Wrenglade soon. Casi figures he'll help.
LIFE:0
NIM:1
BUL:-1
STB:-2
WEP:0
AIM:2

Spoiler: Amxu (click to show/hide)

Bio:Amxu Spiderfright snuck into Hammerrock 24 years ago to liberate drunken children and maybe
 stab a guard inthe kidney.  Little did she know that she would be captured and detained and used to fight various
animals for the amusement of her captors.Obviously, she longs for freedom. The dwarves of Hammerraock figure either
she'll help kill the kobolds and get the bead of dawn back or she'll get killed and they won't have to put up with her
whining anymore, seemed like a no-lose situation to them.

>Urist: ...Bring up the rear. Grumble a bit about long patrol duty.

Damso: +1
Damso Leads ahead towards the mouth of Dinkus, raising his sword to the great cliff face he announces,
"Come, let us enter and I will show you what a real adventurer is!"

Urist:0
Urist takes the rear of the party grumbling to himself about the long patrol duty.

Casi: -4
Casi swiftly takes the rear with Amxu in tow. Clearly uncomfortable to be holding her cord.
"Feel free to take your time I don't want to choke you or-"

Amxu: 0
Amxu is pulled to the ground by Casi's clumsy Jerking.
"Hurk!"

>Amxu: Complain a lot.

Amxu: +3
Amxu falls to the ground and complains about her present conditions.
"Oi! it was bad enough bein' dragged half naked into a blasted cave
with the intention of throwin' me in front of some kobold spears.
But did you have to let this oafish git hold my cord?!"

Damso and Casi are feeling embarrassed.

Urist signs into his right palm.

[Devling]

Amxu: Continue to complain, being the wet blanket on this parade. Or something. Make life miserable for everybody else.

[lopocozo]

Damso: enter cave, challenging all inhabitants to meet the cold steel(?) of your blade.

[Yoink]

>Casi: Awkwardly attempt to calm the goblin down... Whilst dragging her along in Damso's wake. You don't want to get left behind with the goblin, after all!

[lopocozo]

[Strife26]

Damso:0
Damso prepares to enter the cave whilst attempting to ignore his traveling companions
"Show yourselves you scoundrels, for Damso Swiftoar the Night of Crowding has come
to send you to your doom!"

Casi:-1
Casi is too awkward to try to calm Amxu down, he slowly tries to not choke her as
he moves forward, desperately avoiding eye contact.

Amxu: 0
Amxu continues to complain about her traveling conditions though everyone is trying their damnedest to ignore her.
"Do any of you chucklefucks know what you're doin' anyways?
Oi! Nimrod! you think they're going to run out and face you?
Like Kobolds are some kind of honorable fighters?! Some fighter you are.
And don't get me started on this limp-wristed pansy archer you got here
this tree-hugging pantywaist can barely walk without tripping over his feet
maybe in a few hundred years you'll master walking and can go on to toiletries."

Urist: +1
Urist sighs and mumbles some stuff under his breath.
"Dangblasted goblin and elf, shoulda kill 'em on sight when they got here.
Agh, it's been almost four hours since I've had a drink and the sun is so
hot. Wish the whole thing would just go away and leave me be."

"Oi!, See?! The dwarf might smell like overripe boot and have all the sense Armok gave to
a crundle but even he knows that we shouldn't be out in the damn sun!"

Skill synergy! -1 to morale!

Damso: 0
Damso stops in the cave when he can no longer easily make out what is in front of him.
Nearby there is some sort of boarded thing and some rocks and stalagmites.

Casi Stops because Damso stopped and he can't see why in the dark.

Urist and Amxu wind up standing in a bush, waiting for the party heads to make a move.

"Oi,whassamatter? Afraird of the dark?"

[Phantom of The Library]

>Damso: Rush in screaming that the dark holds no fear for him

>Casi: Attempt to be helpful to Damso

>Amxu: Taunt Damso

>Urist: Collect branches and other materials for a torch so Damso can see
