Nice, I'll get stats assigned soon, you can make another character if you want, there needs to be at least four in the party. Hopefully we can get another player soon.

Wow now that is going to be total AWESOME SAUCE!!

You'll be fine :D

Hehe, sounds interesting, I'll start a thread soon. Signature wars I'm referring too is were you make a statement via graphics. Oh also no using photoshop it has to be Paint.net, Gimp, or any other freeware, no trials:P

Nice!
But I must caution you...

Stop playing with fire :P

oooohh we should do Signature Wars :D  (panda) :scyth:

[The Four and Seven Days]

The Four and Seven Days

It wasn't much that day, not much at all. Perhaps it was the fact of being laid back, not succumbing to the latent fog that seemed to warp itself around the air like so many pieces of finely stitched silk.

Juldius sighed just enough to indulge himself in the misery of the moment. The book he carried felt heavy, weighted along with the his own endearing pressures. He wanted to remark but held his breath, staring only at the lone elf that stood before him.

Reva'nnaik stared back, she smiled not too widely, but just enough to seem mischievous and consciously so. She pulled from her makeshift guaba a single slender crystal barely a hands length. "Perhaps this will ease your mind, young bard." with the grace of leopard she shunted the brazen glass deep into a crevice near the wall that held them bound.

Juldius sighed "I hope it doesn't explode, of course if it does, we would be pressingly delivered from this most distasteful situation.", he said with another long sigh accompanied by a dramatic and equally depressing lowering of his eyes.

The elf returned nothing, but simply challenged herself to the task before her, she wove her fingers through the air as her lips rasped ancient incantations from the days before the hordes roamed the lands of Lega. The glass quivered its prism light shining brightly through the tip as it ,in a almost divine way, shown through the chamber.

The Bard watched in amusement as at first nothing happened, then without warning the rock around the crystal begin to warp, first stretching then shrinking and finally vanishing all together, leaving behind a neatly shaped door like orifice.

Juldius tapped his cane on the ground, in the direction that the exit had appeared. He bowed slightly as one could while carrying the burden he had to bare, "After you, my Lady.."

To Be Continued...

[Dungeon Questor]

Dungeon Questor

Combat Rules:
In Dungeon Questor, combat is very simple and can be learned quickly by understanding the following rules.

1. Every move during combat requires a certain amount of AP to perform.
2. Any melee attack requires the mob to be on an adjacent square to the attacker.
3. Any ranged attack requires the mob to be within line of sight and at least
    one square away.
4. If an enemy currently at ranged distance moves to melee, the character must
    switch to a melee weapon before engaging and vice versa.
5. Defending or making no actions, requires no AP.
6. Fleeing from combat exposes the back to the enemy, any hit from the rear is x2 damage.


Combat flow.
The following are steps that are carried out when an encounter occurs:

You see the enemy first and combat has not be initiated:
1. You do not need to roll for any ranged attack as your first hit will be automatic.
2. if concealed in some way (hide in shadows, invisibility, etc) first attack will
    do x3 damage.
3. Spells and buffs can be cast as normal with a slight chance of being seen while
    doing so (3%)
4. Melee attackers must close the distance and attack as normal unless rule 2 applies.
5. Thieves may lay traps but have a slight chance of being detected (5%)

The enemy sees you, but you have not seen them (cloak of darkness, invisbility,etc)
1. Enemy does x2 damage unless spells are active that detect magic being used.
2. Spells such as entangle and hold are automatic and there is no saving throw for
    the first round.
3. Mages and Clerics will be unable to cast spells or call on deities for one round.

You see the enemy and the enemy sees you.
1. All hidden characters may move freely to initiate the attack
2. All seen characters must make a roll for initiative
3. Enemy will make initiative roll as well
4. Mages and Clerics may cast buffs with no penalties.
5. Ranged characters may attack freely with no penalties.
6. Mages and Clerics can cast spells with no penalties.

Once combat has begun
1. Hidden characters may attack, but will be unable to become hidden
    again until the next combat round.
2. Initiative is rolled for each party, not character, one party becomes attacker
    the other defender
3. Defenders may only use defensive spells or abilities, including parrying,
    blocking and counter-attacking. Defenders may also flee from combat.
4. After each round rolls are switched, attackers become defenders and defenders become
    attackers.
5. A round ends once every player/mob has taken a turn.
6. If combat does not end with 5 rounds, each additional round increases the chances of
    a mob fleeing (+5%) or charging (+5%).
7. If a mob charges they enter rage doing x3 damage, they will not defend only attack
    attempting to grapple/strangle any character.


Grapple/Strangle rules
1. During a grapple/strangle a character is held and must make a roll equal to or greater than the
    attackers strength. If grappled more then 2 rounds a character is considered incapacitated.
2. During a strangle a characters neck is pinned in such away that they cannot breathe, if
    strangled more than 2 rounds a character is considered passed out, if  choked longer than
    3 rounds the character will lose 5 HP, until the hold is broken or they die.

   The game takes place on a 16x16 grid, with anywhere from 5-10 levels. it requires the use of 1 AP
   to move one square on the grid, if no combat or event takes place once each character has moved
   The round is cycled back to the first character in your party. All events and mobs in a dungeon
   level are stationary, including NPC's. This only changes during combat in which a creature when
   spotting you may attack from range or close in for melee.

I shudder in my boots (that the Great Zhudar gave me on the 4,020 anniversary of the slaughtering of the Sun Happy Empire) that such special hibernating judicial's are allowed to ingratiate themselves among those who have misunderstood the equinox of the 7th dimension.

Hail Zhudar Master of the 3 Warts!!

Oh and welcome...

"He should be fine. With any luck he can still fight. I would say he needs rest, but our situation is far from ideal."

Tebastion sighed softly, "Good, good."
The Centaur looked around briefly, noticing the guard dead near the hut. He would have liked to have seen how the monk had accomplished this. "Perhaps we should gather the others, this mission isn't over yet."

He paused for a moment, "Any idea why the villagers acted like that, anything your familiar with Uthaal?"

Tebastion rubbed his eyes as he watched the villagers attempts to struggle free of the Druids summoned vines, those that were already free backed away from the fight, it looked as though the desire to be combative had left them altogether.

Taking a few moments the Paladin, checked himself over, although he had managed through divine means to heal most of his physical wounds, the emotional wounds were still fresh... Who would have enough pull to influence an entire village, for that matter why would anyone want to control this area? Tebastion could think of no resource that would be worth all this effort.

He approached Uthaal, who was tending to Haru's wounds. He smiled slightly, "Is the Monk going to be alright?"

Wow bad luck all around, especially with google apps :(
