Board 8 > Into the Dungeon [Multi-User Forum Game/'CYOA']

(+) Yeah! (+)

[Here's how this works; post an action. Each person who posts an action will be RNG'd to one of three options - Death, Passive, or Success. At least one person in the party must succeed to get past an obstacle in order for any of the Passive players to advance as well. If you die, you are dead. Therefore, the more party members who are still alive and try to get past an obstacle, the greater the party as a whole has of advancing. Oh, and the catch? There's no restriction as to what you can do. I won't be posting any choices, each person gets to choose whatever they want to do.]


Into the Dungeon. . .

You stand before the entrance to a quite fearsome dungeon, the Tower of the Mind-Eaters. It is said to be known to horrors that feast upon the brains of men after cracking their heads open like eggs. The local 'hey, cut that out' committee has hired a band of adventurers to deal with these problematic pests.

One of the party members heads to the gate and inspects it. "Gates locked, I guess we should go home."

What do you do?

[First update shall come when I get home from class if I deem the party is big enough]

KICK IT DOWN.

Do our actions affect the RNG, or is it just flavor?

--
http://i.imgur.com/VITyG.jpg

[Just flavor. Everyone has exactly a 1 in 3 chance of ending up with any result. So Maniac is just as likely to kill himself by putting on his helmet as Regaro does by picking the lock.]

The First Phase

[Note: 1 = Success, 2 = Passive, 3 = Death]

"go home?", lefty says in disbelief. "I'm not going home till I get paid!" With that, he stomps over to the doormat and checks under it to see if one of the Mind-Eaters was foolish enough to leave the key under the mat. Meanwhile, the Machete Guy trundles over in a drunken stupor and starts pissing on the door[2].

JORGE KIELBASA SANCHEZ can be heard trying to sell the door a used car, to no effect [2].

Meanwhile, bananor thinks of a better plan. "I'll just ascend to Godhood and blast the door down!", he announces. He begins to call upon the powers of various deities that are native to this foreign realm. They think about it for a moment and, since bananor seems like a pretty chill guy, decide he can totally become a God. His body is suddenly vaporized by cosmic energy as he ascends to the realm of the Gods [3].

Maniac equips his helmet. But it doesn't fit [2].

Regaro walks over to the door, stepping over lefty. He takes out his lockpicking kit. "Watch a master thief at work." He inserts his lockpick into the keyhole, triggering a poison needle trap. Regaro tumbles over backwards clutching at his chest as he dies from intense poison [3].

Ryoko asks, "Why don't we just try to open the gate?" [2].

Just then, lefty sucessfully obtains the key from under the doormat [1].

"huh", everyone collectively utters. lefty inserts the key into the lock, not having to worry about the trap that Regaro triggered. The party takes up formation and enters the dready hallway of the ground floor of the Tower of the Mind-Eaters.

JeffRaze had been attempting to build a device to take down the door, but lefty already opened it. JeffRaze obtained the Science Blaster [1].

swordz9 attempts to intimidate the door by acting like Dark Mac, and dies from shame [3].

Tom Bombadil attempts to kick down the door, but it's already open. He jumpkicks down the hallway [2].

Up ahead, the screaming and wailing of tortured jackals can be heard from the depths of the dungeon. The corridors are lit with dim candles. The party advances about 50 yards before coming to a T junction. A loud thundering sound can be heard coming from the right hand side.

A moment later, lefty and Maniac return from scouting.

"Seems like there's a troll guarding the chamber to the right.", lefty reports.
"The other passage is flooded with water. It might be possible to dive under and find a way through. . .", Maniac reports.
JORGE KIELBASA SANCHEZ barks, "Or we could think of a more creative way to advance!"

[Note: It is possible to split up with other party members but if you are alone you must roll a success yourself to advance. If the party stays together, those who are grouped will advance even with a 'Passive' roll (as in this case, if only lefty rolled a success everyone who didn't die would be able to follow him. Basically, you can choose to split up from the rest of the group if you wish but it's not always a good idea.)]

The Current Party:

I just rolled a 2 for Maniac (Didn't realize he was actually 20 seconds before the deadline). You're good, you passed onto PHase 3 and are eligible to Loot. You didn't level-up though.

The Second Phase

[Note: 1 = Success, 2 = Passive, 3 = Death]

JeffRaze storms down the passage way, gun literally blazing. He raises his science blaster and starts firing. His blaster catches the troll right in the face, burning it's face off and instantly slaying it. Additionally, the regenerative properties of the troll were cancelled out due to the cauterization of the wound. JeffRaze holsters his badass magic science pistol [1].

Somehow, before the troll died, legendary car salesman JORGE KIELBASA SANCHEZ manages to sell the troll a used car. JORGE gains +5000 Gold [1].

"How did you even have time to-", Jeff begins, but is promptly cut off as JDizzy struts onto the scene, pulling off some sick dance moves. Unfortunately, there's no one to challenge him as the troll already had it's face blasted off [2].

Mr. All Days Off tries to turn heel on the party and join the trolls, but there are none [2].

GenesisSaga tries to use her shapeshifting powers to become a mermaid, but fails. She decides to stick with JeffRaze instead since he's the dude with the gun [2].

Pirate King shows up a little late, toting a massive boombox and starts blasting a theme that gets jdizzy dancing like crazy again. Unfortunately, he trips over a cat in the hallway and breaks his neck [3]. The dancing doesn't last much longer after that.

ctes tries to be as smart as meisnewbie, but come on, that's impossible [2]. However, he spots some treasure in the southern area of the room as he enters. GranzonEX asks his dead childhood girlfriend to scout ahead, but she's not around. Since she's dead [2]. He looks around the room instead.

There's a huge pile of loot to the south of the massive chamber. The north side of the chamber is blocked off by an enormous stone gate. It seems to be sealed with a magical force with the Runic symbol for the number 2 carved into it.

[Note; This door requires 2 successes from multiple players working together to open]

"oo, treasure~", Granzon says. He greedily eyes the loot.

[Note; When taking treasure you are not subject to death but you only have a 1 in 3 chance to find the item you're looking for. You have a 1/3 chance to find a Random item and a 1/3 chance to find. . . Well, you'll see. Players who stop to gather loot will be left behind if other advance, but if everyone stops to gather loot there's no problem. Once one looting action has occurred, all of the treasure disappears. Hence, only players currently in Phase 3 (listed below on the active roster) may attempt to loot this treasure.]

Active Party:
JeffRaze, Lvl 3 Scientist (Inventory: Science Blaster)
JORGE KIELBASA SANCHEZ, Lvl 2 Merchant (Inventory: 5000 gold)
JDizzy, Lvl1 Dancer
Genesis, Lvl1 Shapeshifter
ctes, Lvl1 Rookie
Granzon, Lvl1 Anime Protag
Maniac, Lv1 ????

The Dead
Bananor - Ascended to Godhood at Level 1, causing his physical body to be vaporized. Died in the First Phase.
Regaro - Died while attempting to pick a lock at Level 1. Died in the First Phase.
swordz9 - Attempted to mimic the evil patron Dark Mac and was killed for his insolence. Died in the First Phase.
Pirate King - Tripped over a cat and broke his neck. Died in the Second Phase.

Phase 1.5
lefty the lout, Lvl 2 Rogue
The Machete Guy, Lvl 1 Town Drunk
Ryoko, Lvl 1 Catgirl Alien
Tom, Lvl 1 Monk

[Note: If you're in Phase 1.5 it's possible to catch up to the rest of the party, you must post an action attempting to catch up with them before Phase 3 begins. This prevents you from using your Phase 3 Action to Loot Treasure. You may also take an action to wander off on your own. If you do not submit a Phase 3 Action at all, you'll be subject to a Death check for each Phase you continue to miss.]

If you are in Phase 1.5 you must spend your action catching up to the party (unless you want to split up from them and head toward the flood, in which case specify a separate action).

Eddy shows up to the party fashionably late, wielding his legendary Beer Pong Table. He catches up to the 1.5 phase party and stops to play Beer Pong with them, and then IRL Mafia once everyone is drunk. His party games are a huge success, and drastically aid in slowing down the rest of the group [1].

Then he rushes on ahead to join up with the rest of the party before the 9 PM deadline.
