WW DII - The Dungeon 2 : Dungeon Harder! GAME OVER!!!

[The Jackal]

You know, CF, if you have the private messages sent to your e-mail, then you'd have a copy of them there, and you wouldn't have to hold on to 200 messages at all times here.

Give this man a cookie

[Autumn]

Oh no ...

what if Dungeon 2 is just Abe's April Fool's prank?????

[Abe Sargent]

Dammit Autumn, you ruined it!

[Autumn]

I saved your life is what I did ... if you'd pulled that we would have hunted you down. No, get cracking on that prep work!

[JAG]

Oh no ...

what if Dungeon 2 is just Abe's April Fool's prank?????

I want to change my weapon to pitchfork and put my torch in the off hand.

[Poli]

Cleaning out my box slowly. Any PMs met with the FULL message (especially Abe), please use [email protected] to get ahold of me.

I just signed you up for massive amounts of dungeon porn.

No need to thank me. I feel the love already.

[Abe Sargent]

All of teh character sheets are made, I've rolled you starting positions, and I can send out your first pm any time, I'm just waiting on CR to send in his char selection. If he takes too long, I'll have to replace him, but I' prefer not to fo that.

Put me in, coach. I'm ready to play...today.

Look at me. I can be...CENTERFIELD.

[Autumn]

Can we all at least agree to track down Chief's character and steal all his stuff for making us wait?

[Poli]

Can we all at least agree to track down Chief's character and steal all his stuff for making us wait?
It's evil, sneaky, and it just might work.

[CrimsonFox]

heh...didn't know you could do that. ANd yes Autumn you won.

[Autumn]

Well, that was easy. You probably should have let Abe announce it though.

[CrimsonFox]

Actually are you SURE about the email thing? I found a checkbox that says it will tell you WHEN you have received a PM but is that the same thing?

[Autumn]

I'm sure, I read my messages through e-mail all the time. It's a great backup when you're running a WW game.

[CrimsonFox]

let's test this. Send me a PM.

[CrimsonFox]

Well I'll be...

Autumn wins twice.

[Autumn]

CrimsonFox: Easily Astounded

[CrimsonFox]

hmmm I thought Packerfanatic was going to play. Me sad now.

awww and Narcizo isn't here either.

[Chief Rum]

So sorry, folks, I have been away virtually all weekend, with no computer time. I wasn't even thinking about this starting before then. I should have read more closely. I will make my choices now and get them to Abe.

[Abe Sargent]

Yeah! Expect stuff to go out 9ish tonight.

[Autumn]

We chose for you Chief. Tinkerbell should do great.

[Abe Sargent]

Okay, I'm actually going to go ahead and send out first room info now to everyone but CR and hopefully he'll have figured out what he wants by then,

[Abe Sargent]

CF cleanout your pm box, abouthalf of you I forgot to send exits to your room so I am resending you the room info now

[Abe Sargent]

Check Post 3 and make sure everything is good

[Poli]

Guess I better buy a spectator ticket.

[JAG]

Hi everybody. Looks like a pretty good spread of classes, no more than 3 in each though it looks like almost half are fighters. I would be happy to provide some magical backup to the more muscular among you (if we ever meet up). In fact, other than Danny (the only other to share my class), I'd be happy to travel with anyone for better survivability. Last go around there were probably half a dozen times I was a roll from dying, plus the changes to the party system make it more worthwhile in my opinion.

[JAG]

I'm surprised alignment was published.

[Poli]

I think I'll go with "Dungeon Consultant".

With Danny and his "sexual healing", he may find it hard to find anyone willing to join him.

[Danny]

Wow, not a single person went druid. That was my other option, but I wanted to be a Taurian since I most closely resemble them

[Poli]

Solid.

[Danny]

My room has an option to sit on Santa's lap, I think I am going to go for it.

[Danny]

Plus I used to be semen, can't beat that

[Poli]

Light that candle.

[JAG]

Wow, not a single person went druid. That was my other option, but I wanted to be a Taurian since I most closely resemble them

Chief Rum is a Druid.

[Thomkal]

Wow, not a single person went druid. That was my other option, but I wanted to be a Taurian since I most closely resemble them

Taurians don't see well do they? Chief Rum is a Druid :)

[Poli]

The board doesn't recognize Chief Rum's position.

[Danny]

I already know CR will be dead before day 2, so I didnt count him

[Autumn]

Pleased to meet you all. It seems we'll be fellow travelers in this very special place. I hope to be of some assistance. If there's places you can't go, things you can't open, traps you can't bypass, I'm your cat. Not the kind of cat that laps milk

http://www.inekekamps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/avanti-card-cat-milk.jpg

and not the kind of cat that blows the horn.

http://media.prefixmag.com/site_media/uploads/images/post/m/miles-davis/MilesDavis1_jpg_630x1698_q85.jpg

No, I'm the kind of cat that gets things done, for a modest price. If you need me, you only need call.

[Autumn]

Battle Mage is a solid choice, they look to be a good class this time around. I know Abe will be happy we got a Kensai.

And I'm really glad to see someone picked lay healer. I kept waffling on that - that's a great class in a party game. I certainly volunteer to travel with you, Bhlloy, if we run into each other. You obviously will do best with some companions.

[Autumn]

For what it's worth, I chose evil because I figured less people would, and there may be some rooms or items that will benefit me that others can't use. Looking out for myself, I suppose. That's kind of evil too. I promise not to slay any of you.

[mauchow]

/inspect legendary bow.

[Chief Rum]

I actually would have chosen Evil, too, but I mistakenly thought it would be a well-selected alignment.

[Autumn]

Huh, no sorceror, and no artificer! I'm surprised by that one, that's a good class.

[Chief Rum]

I already know CR will be dead before day 2, so I didnt count him

Then you have your sacrificial lamb for the first day. I could use a trusty Battle Mage in my party. Between the two of us, we can take care of the magic, so long as we can get a couple fighters with us.

[Autumn]

I actually would have chosen Evil, too, but I mistakenly thought it would be a well-selected alignment.

Gee, go ahead and tell us what you think of us, Chief.

[CrimsonFox]

No, Danny, it is NOT Peanut butter jelly time...

(Thanks for filling my PM box again...:P)

[CrimsonFox]

Dannyspam (TM) deleted. Resend away, Abe!

[Poli]

Huh, no sorceror, and no artificer! I'm surprised by that one, that's a good class.

The foot stone's connected to the...ankle stone.

No such promises. At least I'm up front about it, unlike this evil weenie.

[CrimsonFox]

So are DV and JaCKal going to sing duets?

[ntndeacon]

We are glad we chose the noble profession of the Kensai. Upon this path, we continue the tradition of so many before us.

[Autumn]

*looks behind ntndeacon*

[Autumn]

No such promises. At least I'm up front about it, unlike this evil weenie.

It's guys like you give evil a bad name. I'm just lookin' out for myself, see.

[Poli]

So are DV and JaCKal going to sing duets?

You've lost that loving feeling...oooOOOOoooo

[Autumn]

Anyhoo, I am in a stone room containing a cistern. It is a cistern of such pure beauty, it's just begging for a nice big loogey.

[Poli]

That's not evil. That's childish.

[bhlloy]

Battle Mage is a solid choice, they look to be a good class this time around. I know Abe will be happy we got a Kensai.

And I'm really glad to see someone picked lay healer. I kept waffling on that - that's a great class in a party game. I certainly volunteer to travel with you, Bhlloy, if we run into each other. You obviously will do best with some companions.

Yeah, I figured that in a party based game hopefully that would make me more popular than I would be otherwise. Likewise, I'd be happy to team up with you if we cross paths at some point.

[Poli]

I'll stand by you...I'll stand by you...won't let nobody hurt you...

[Abe Sargent]

Okay folks, let's have a chat.


PMs. -

This is a very PM intenstive game, so I delete them with regularly. Hold onto yours in case we have a disagreement about something.

Because I am getting 50,000 pms a day., it helps if you could title your PM with the type of action in the body. For example, for your Day One morning action, if you have not already sent me the PM action, then please title it Day One Morning Action or something similar. This way I can distinguish PMs that are questions about a room or action already done from actions that aren;t going to be processed for a while.


Also, when I process actions, it can take me up to an hour to get everybody processed. Please do NOT post results from PMs prior to me posting in the thread that the actions are all done and processed. Then go ahead.

[Abe Sargent]

And, as a reminder on actions, because I'm getting a lot of errors and questions:


Her are the phases again:

MORNING ACTION - You may take any action in the room you are in, but you CANNOT move to another room

MOVEMENT ACTION - You can only move during this action. Just send me a PM that says Day X Movement Action, and in the body "Go South".



AFTERNOON ACTION - You may take any action in the room you are in, but you CANNOT move to another room


EVENING ACTION - You must sleep, unless yo are a Sis'Sharr. You CANNOT move to another room, and you do NOT have to send me a "I am sleeping" pm, it is assumed.

SO, you have one action in the starting room tomorrow morning, and then you move to somewhere else, unless you really want to stay in that room.


If you are one of the four or five people asking about moving tomorrow morning, please understand that you ma not ,move until the movmene action.

[JAG]

My starting room has exits to the left and right. If you're interested in starting a party with me, let me know if you're going left or right on the off chance our rooms are separated by a single room. I'd like to meet up with people who have complimentary characters (probably fighter / priest types preferably) so we can start getting the benefits of our different skills right away.

[Chief Rum]

Gee, go ahead and tell us what you think of us, Chief.

Actually, it's a compliment. I thought people would tend to choose what they are not, since this is just a game.

[Zinto]

Well since I am a thunder kitten I am pretty excited to start this game. It is my first time playing any sort of role playing board game so thanks for being here for when I lost this virginity.:)

[Poli]

I lost this virginity.:)
Ping: Danny

[Abe Sargent]

Alright, I'ma send the pm to CF again and see if he gets it this ime

[Abe Sargent]

Heya! I'm a Sprite! I live here in the Dungeon along with many other sprites. We try to help you adventurers get through successfully. You can expect a daily hint or tip from me and my kind to assist you through the dungeon. Additionally, expect some of my fellow sylvan kind, such as pixies, faeries, and others to lend different sorts of aid as well.

[Abe Sargent]

hey clap@!

[Poli]

Sprites apparently love the color blue.

[Danny]

Ping: Danny

That's me, squishing ferries, popping cherries!

[The Jackal]

*hic* Wait, did we start?

[The Jackal]

(pulls out his harp)

[The Jackal]

(in a sweetly melodic travesty of what cannot be called sobriety) HELLO DUNGEON, THE DRUNKEN HARP IS HERE TO SERENADE YOU

[The Jackal]

Surrounded by lizards and cows? Thought I was done with that after saying goodbye to all your mothers last night!

[The Jackal]

The Drunken Harp, he is a joker, he is.

[The Jackal]

Find me some ale and I'll tell you what that necklace you just found under the shrubbery is going to do before it chokes the life out of you!

[The Jackal]

I'm a good pal, I can wield a mean staff. Plus I have this blunt weapon too!

[The Jackal]

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the sexiest of us all?

[The Jackal]

That's it for me, folks. I'll be here all week. Hopefully.

[Danny]

I'm like Terry Crews in White Chicks, after I get done with you, you'll need a wheelchair.

[Darth Vilus]

Bring it!

Everyone should just bow down to the great and powerful Lord Vilus now. No need to try to postpone the inevitable

[ntndeacon]

We are not used to these mundane human titles.

[JAG]

Preach on brother Sis'Sharr

[Danny]

Hmmm, you sissy'horrs will have to team up to even have a chance at killing one taurian

[Abe Sargent]

Alright, bed time whores!

[Ragone]

So the three of us bards should join up to make a boy band... i guess it would be called the trapdoor boy's... ok thats my one..

[The Jackal]

The Drunken Harp is taking applications from priests and lay healers. Female preferred, but any will do.

[Danny]

Backdoor boys? Seems fitting

[The Jackal]

I like the cut of this Taurian's jib, too. He's alright in my tome.

[The Jackal]

Backdoor boys? Seems fitting

Don't lump us other bards behind that one's barn.

[Danny]

Has a nice ring to it though, joey ragone and the backdoor boys

[CrimsonFox]

It issssss my honor and privilege to ssssserve such fine folk assss yourssssself. I am the Mother'ssss humble sssservant and for her I offer you all my sssservices.

[CrimsonFox]

You've lost that loving feeling...oooOOOOoooo

My only quessssstion issss which one of thesssse fine ssssingerssss isss Hall and which one is Oatessss.

I think perhapssssss DV issss Oatesssss. I picture him with a gericurl and cheeeeesy musssstache.

[The Jackal]

I sounded like that once after a couple of nights at a brothel in West Intaria. They really ssssap the life out of you over there.

[Poli]

I'm like Terry Crews in White Chicks, after I get done with you, you'll need a wheelchair.

I thought you were Terry Crews in the Old Spice commercials.

[Poli]

I sounded like that once after a couple of nights at a brothel in West Intaria. They really ssssap the life out of you over there.

There's also this place in Dubai near the Gold Sook. Or at least I'm told.

[Autumn]

So no one is going to actually talk about their room? lol Anybody have anything interesting they can do in theirs? Any interest in trying to facilitate people meeting up through some genius system of movements?

[PurdueBrad]

I'll talk about my room. I may be in a corner. There is a star on the floor, a fireplace in the room, and two exits: One forward, one right.

I'm heading forward after examining the fireplace.

[hoopsguy]

PB's sounds like mine, but I have three exits.

[The Jackal]

I already talked about my room, pay attention! I asked the mirror on my wall who the sexiest of us is, but none of you seem to want to claim the mantle.

[The Jackal]

A star on the floor, no true artist made this. Exits straight and to the right.

[Abe Sargent]

Morning all, I'll process actions shortly

[hoopsguy]

I already talked about my room, pay attention! I asked the mirror on my wall who the sexiest of us is, but none of you seem to want to claim the mantle.

There are three paladins, and assuming that the CHA requirement hasn't changed from the old-school D&D I played as a kid, those are the front-runners.

As the one evil Paladin in the group, I'm pretty sure that my dark and somewhat menacing nature plays sexy better than the goody two-shoes act that Dubb and Zitno will collectively shove down your throat. So that pretty much leaves me to claim the mantle.

[PurdueBrad]

I'm here for the next 20 minutes guys so I'll post the results of my room if I get it before I leave. Good luck all.

[PurdueBrad]

You saw nothing...

Thx Jackal

[The Jackal]

(ooc) FYI PB I know you're in a time crunch but I think Abe said to not reveal the results of our PMs until he was done with them.

[PurdueBrad]

My bad, that's what I get for triple-tasking while reading through the thread. I'll be more aware next time.

Good to play with all you guys again btw.

[PurdueBrad]

Also, when I process actions, it can take me up to an hour to get everybody processed. Please do NOT post results from PMs prior to me posting in the thread that the actions are all done and processed. Then go ahead.


Found it for myself and anyone else that may have missed it. Just a reminder.

[hoopsguy]

Anyone know what the different colors in the "roster post" imply? It doesn't appear to be driven by class or alignment.

[JAG]

Anyone know what the different colors in the "roster post" imply? It doesn't appear to be driven by class or alignment.

Class based I believe. Orange for wizards, green for priest-types (including Druids), blue for rogue-types (assassins, bards), purple for fighter types.

[Abe Sargent]

Morning Results have been sent!


As always, if you didn't get a post or something, just LMK me in a pm

[PurdueBrad]

Fireplace was nothing but thankfully I didn't burn myself. I am heading forward into the dungeon. I'm out for a little bit as I have a doctor's appointment but should be back around the move deadline.

[dubb93]

Found nothing, not that it matters. I require little more than the light's blessing to conquer this dungeon. I will be moving on, may the light have mercy on any of you evil types that cross my path.

[ntndeacon]

We haave a large burned star in our room. There is also a chandelier here. We are planning on heading right.

[Autumn]

We're afraid of what might happen to us, Jackal.

Anybody else have a corner room? That could help orient us, eventually.

I'm staying in my room to investigate my cistern. Maybe somebody will bump into me.

[Autumn]

Whoops didn't see this page.

Looks like we have two corners covered at the moment.

[Thomkal]

[Greenleaf the Qwith Ranger]

Greenleaf looked around the dungeon entrance room he had been placed in, a disdainful look on his sylvan face. His eyes were the color of spring plants and grass. His long blonde hair was pulled back behind him with a decorative leaf tieback. He clearly was not at home beneath the ground so far from the forests of his world.

But he was ready for anything this dungeon might have in store for him, he stretched and flexed his hands, showing off his tall and lean lithe figure as he assessed the room looking for anything that might be a threat or worthy of more investigation.

A star was painted on the floor in dull red blood, recent from the smell of it, no doubt meant to intimidate him. It wasn't working. The only other item of note in the room was a dusty harp in the corner. Harps had intrigued him as a youth, one of the few musical instruments out there worthy of a Qwith's interest. But a few lessons quickly showed he had no talent there, and he moved on to other interests.

A small smile crossed his face for a moment as he was transported back across the years to those childhood days of dreams. Maybe he had some skill in it now as an adult? He placed his precious long bow carefully against the wall and sat down at the proper end of the harp and placed his fingers on the strings. Dust fell from the strings as he plucked at them, and the first few notes of a Qwith bedtime lullaby filled his head.

Unfortunately for him and anyone else within hearing distance, the sound that came from the harp was nothing like that lullaby but more like the wrenching horrible cries of some forest denizen that had just been pierced by one of his arrows.

Greenleaf quickly stood up from the harp, a bit red faced in embarrassment, carefully picked up his bow and strode out of the room going forward into the dungeon, hoping the next room would not contain a musical instrument of any kind.

[OOC: Nice response to my playing the harp Abe, lol]

[Autumn]

Furball looked around the room he had been placed in, a shit-eating grin on his furry face. He could almost smell the treasure. He strolled past the star on the floor and peered in every nook and cranny. Nope, not in here.

A small smile crossed his face for a moment as he noticed a cistern in the corner. Looking in the water looked decent, but he wasn't thirsty. Maybe someone else would come along later though and want a drink. Thinking back to his childhood days, he remembered the time he spit in his brother's glass and the idiot drank it. Those were special times. Furball placed his taloned fingers on the edge of the cistern and started hawking up a good one ...

[Abe Sargent]

I was funny on several of the pms, and I don't mind if anybody posts my fluff. But don't post anything from a pm rulesy like "You found 100 gold and a Chocolate Chupacabra!"

[The Jackal]

The Drunken Harp looked in the mirror and saw a pretty attractive guy. Oh wait, that's me! It answered my question for me, although that's not -really- what I asked it.

Looks like I'm in a corner room, heading forwards.

[JAG]

Whoops didn't see this page.

Looks like we have two corners covered at the moment.

Not necessarily. It could just be those rooms don't have the extra doors that some of us have.

It was fun mapping things out last time but until we get people bumping into each other or going into rooms previously explored by someone, we won't be able to connect the dots.

[Thomkal]

I was funny on several of the pms, and I don't mind if anybody posts my fluff. But don't post anything from a pm rulesy like "You found 100 gold and a Chocolate Chupacabra!"

Alrighty then, from my PM.

Are you a bard? Nope. Then the harp makes ugly noise! Nothing happens. You don't know how to play harps you silly ranger!

[Autumn]

Not necessarily. It could just be those rooms don't have the extra doors that some of us have.

It was fun mapping things out last time but until we get people bumping into each other or going into rooms previously explored by someone, we won't be able to connect the dots.

Could be, but I don't mind assuming for the moment that those are corners. I'm going to guess Abe made the Dungeon hexagonal this time just to mess with us.

[JAG]

I guess at this point I'm leaning towards going right unless more people I'm interested in meeting post they're are also going right.

[Autumn]

I'm going to try to keep track of the rooms. Hoops, you said your room was like PB's. Did it have a fireplace in it?

[Thomkal]

[Greenleaf]

I am going forward because victory lies that way I feel.

[Autumn]

I guess I take that back. Of the five rooms we know about so far, only two have three exits, so good chance they're not all corners.

[The Jackal]

[Greenleaf]

I am going forward because victory lies that way I feel.

To go forwards, you must go backwards, leaf of green.

[The Jackal]

Bards keep good maps, don't worry. I'll be mapping up a storm. Hopefully a tavern, too.

[Autumn]

I'm not going to badger everybody, but I am willing to keep info on rooms if people want to share. Let me know what's distinctive about your room and what exits it has, and ideally which direction you go.

[The Jackal]

Sure, let's trust the evil midget with our information.

[hoopsguy]

I'm going to try to keep track of the rooms. Hoops, you said your room was like PB's. Did it have a fireplace in it?

Nope, similar insofar as it had a star. Options for left, right, straight.

[The Jackal]

Sure, let's trust the evil midget with our information.

Confused my races, evil cat. That makes me trust him, actually.

[The Jackal]

That mirror on my wall was steel, not glass. I yelled at it and whacked it with both my staffs but all it did was show me my beautiful self. Can't blame it!

[Autumn]

That mirror on my wall was steel, not glass. I yelled at it and whacked it with both my staffs but all it did was show me my beautiful self. Can't blame it!

That's the kind they use in insane asylums, isn't it?

[The Jackal]

Both ends of my staff rather. Don't get any ideas. (To borrow some verbiage from @Shorcov, #Issausagefestindungeon)

[Autumn]

Confused my races, evil cat. That makes me trust him, actually.

It's just natural, for a cat, really.

[The Jackal]

That's the kind they use in insane asylums, isn't it?

The Drunken Harp would not know about such things. He wouldn't know one bit. Neither would his giant purple elephant, Donatellopus.

[Thomkal]

I guess I take that back. Of the five rooms we know about so far, only two have three exits, so good chance they're not all corners.

my room also had exits left and right just to be complete about it

[Zinto]

By the light of the kitty I believe I am in a corner room also. I can either go left or forward and I am probably going to go forward!

[mauchow]

I can go forward left or right.

[ntndeacon]

Though we did not say so, our room has exits left right and forward.

[bhlloy]

I am in a room with three exits and a statue. I tried to talk to the statue but he didn't reply. Statues have no manners these days.

I'm planning to head forward which would seem to give me the best chance of meeting up with someone. Unless you guys are all planning to move laterally day 1

[Chief Rum]

I have a chute on the left side of the room, which I attempted to access with my Morning Action. It is only a two foot chute, which I apparently could not see with my infrared vision when I got in. So that was a short trip.

I am told I have exits to the left and the front. I have asked Abe to tell me if the chute is the left exit, or if there is also an actual exit to the left as well, but he has still not told me. I would have thought the presence of a chute by itself or a chute AND an exit would be self-evident and I would be provided with this information. Apparently not.

So I am left to choose to go left and risk that I am just going back to the chute, which goes nowhere or go forward, the only other option I know for sure. If I have the option to go left, I would prefer it, rather than forward.

I am still hoping Abe will provide some clarification.

Obviously, with at most two directions I may go, it is distinctly possible I am in a corner room.

[Chief Rum]

And, yes, if y'all are wondering, I am pretty annoyed at this room right now.

[Darth Vilus]

No danger in my room, I'm actually a little disappointed lol

[Darth Vilus]

I can go left or forward so it looks like I'm in a corner as well. There was a painted star on the floor and a horse in my room. Horse wasn't dangerous though

[Abe Sargent]

For today's movement action, I have a meeting at 4:30 so I'll process them a little early in order to get them done in time. If I can't for some reason, that is why

[Autumn]

Did you try riding the horse or talking to it?

[bhlloy]

I can go left or forward so it looks like I'm in a corner as well. There was a painted star on the floor and a horse in my room. Horse wasn't dangerous though

I know a good recipe for horse stew. Just sayin

[Ragone]

There was a gong in my room... and three directions of choice.. forward left and right...nothing of interest in my room to speak of.. besides said gong.. which I left alone

[The Jackal]

Left the gong alone?! Where's the musical spirit in you, lad!

[The Jackal]

Horse stew is a bit gamey. Better to wait and carve up one of these bulls after they perish in a fiery inferno.

Pre-roasted and ready for consumption!

[Abe Sargent]

The following have yet to send me movement actions, which is fine, no problem, just a reminder on Day One about the schedule and such. Once you get into the rhythm of the game, then we're all set. I'm not trying to call you out of anything.

KWhit
Simbo Klice
Danny
Crimson Fox
Julio Riddols
JAG
mckerney

[The Jackal]

Read between the lines. He's calling you out. Stop caressing the cold stone walls that will most likely be your tomb and move onwards, comrades!

[Autumn]

You guys are totally dead. Abe is so mad right now.

[The Jackal]

He's more mad than that time your dad caught you kissing your second cousin twice removed in the shed with that goat nearby.

[JAG]

Left the gong alone?! Where's the musical spirit in you, lad!

Isn't it refreshing to have your roleplay not result in you being voted out?

[Ragone]

Left the gong alone?! Where's the musical spirit in you, lad!

Hunch that hitting the gong would kill me... or someone else randomly... don't want that
On my conscience

Bah, this isn't Tomb of Horrors!

[Julio Riddols]

I was just frustrated that nothing cool was in the first room, so I sat and sulked a bit before moving. Hoping for a litter box monster..

[Ragone]

Bah, this isn't Tomb of Horrors!

We don't know that for sure...

[Abe Sargent]

The Js got me their pms - JAG and Julio, so I just need pms from the other five I mean, we're early, so no prob.s But what I've been doing in running everybody's movements now, and I have a PM up for each person. Then when it hits four, I'll just send everyone their PM.

[PurdueBrad]

You bards should turn down that bloody music.

Speaking of bloody, PB is looking forward to facing down his first challenge and channeling some of this rage.

[Abe Sargent]

I just applied for a job in NC.

[The Jackal]

Isn't it refreshing to have your roleplay not result in you being voted out?

Votes are for Democracies. This is everyone for themselves. And sometimes everyone for themselves +1 or +2. But mostly for themselves.

[Abe Sargent]

Just as an idea of how PM heavy this role of GM is, I deleted all pms I received yesterday including who you were and just had pms from this morning and afternoon and late last night. I have 140 pms :) I'm deleting the morning actions to make space.

[Abe Sargent]

Somebody today will be encountering this in their room:

Good, maybe he'll smash some bard's musical instrument. Otherwise that flame could be used to cook some horse meat.

That doesn't look like the rabid cave weasel I was expecting to get. :D

[Abe Sargent]

10 minutes until deadline and we're still missing five move actions.

[Abe Sargent]

We'll process actions in a couple of minutes, expect PMs soon. I'll take pms from the missing five for a few minutes after deadline. It's the first day and I don't want to punish people. I want to kill them, but not punish them ;)

[PurdueBrad]

Just half their hit points, that should be good.

[Abe Sargent]

Heya! I'm a Pixie. We're a bit shy, but we don't like seeing nice folk like you die. We come out and help when needed. Our powers are minor, but they are here. Today, at least one of you would have died! Oh no! We couldn't have that, so we appeared and protected anybody from dying. This protection will extend throughout rest of the day, but then are powers are mostly spent and we can't help as much later. Sorry.

[PurdueBrad]

Which one of you wimps wasted the Pixie's powers on day 1 (prays it wasn't me)?

[Abe Sargent]

Okay, pms have been sent to the 15 who submitted me movement actions. If hose who missed want to get caught up, or if I missed something in a PM where you gave me your action, just lmk. Afternoon actions are due by 9 pm.

[Abe Sargent]

The sprites tell you, "This Dungeon has 169 rooms, which is the same it always is. But there is something more outside it!

[Thomkal]

oooooohhh

Can we post what we saw in our new rooms now?

[Abe Sargent]

yes, posy away my friends and meat

[Julio Riddols]

Is that a flame imp up there?

[Abe Sargent]

Is that a flame imp up there?

Yup!

[PurdueBrad]

Well guys, I'm in a room with a bunch of holly bushes and an untold number of leprachauns. I can insult a leprachaun. Ahead of me is a room to a deeper level, to my left a room that people smaller than Taurians can go into, and to my right is another exit (as well as behind me, the way I came)

I'm pretty sure Poli was killed in this room in our first dungeon but I'm going to take a chance, attempt to avenge my buddy Poli, and insult a leprachaun. BRING IT ON...TINY! By the way, I hate Notre Dame...bitch!

[PurdueBrad]

Hmmm, maybe my alignment shouldn't be neutral. That's alright though, if the leprachauns stack themselves 3 high than maybe we can see eye to eye.

BTW Leprachaun, I heart the potato famine and Lucky Charms suck.

PS- I did once box (and beat) a midget in real life so these guys should be nothing.

[PurdueBrad]

Says the Man in Pink

Yeah, bad memories from that. I think I remember how that happened so I'll be extra careful to avoid it (although if I'm killed by leprachauns I may not have to worry about it).

[Thomkal]

[Greenleaf the Qwith Ranger]

Ah this room is much more to my style. I can see weapons of almost every sort in various weapons racks around the room. I will have to spend some time here to look the weapons over and see if there's a better one than my current long sword. Sadly I see no bows.

There are exits in every direction here-forward to a new level of difficulty room, back from whence I came, to the right for normal size people, to the left for the guzak and the hated dvergrs.

[Abe Sargent]

Alright, I'm off to a 4:30 meeting, and then din-din. Be back laters.

[JAG]

Well guys, I'm in a room with a bunch of holly bushes and an untold number of leprachauns. I can insult a leprachaun. Ahead of me is a room to a deeper level, to my left a room that people smaller than Taurians can go into, and to my right is another exit (as well as behind me, the way I came)

I'm pretty sure Poli was killed in this room in our first dungeon but I'm going to take a chance, attempt to avenge my buddy Poli, and insult a leprachaun. BRING IT ON...TINY! By the way, I hate Notre Dame...bitch!

That was my first room in the first Dungeon. I was wondering if those guys would be back.

[PurdueBrad]

I'm thinking that there really aren't any leprachauns here because I would assume the Dungeon would have a height requirement.

[Autumn]

I'm not ashamed to say it was me the pixies helped. I think they're sweet on me.

Let me tell you my tale. I set off, exploring the room to my left when suddenly I felt my feet trapped in some sort of sticky good. You know how cats hate getting something on their paws? Well, I hate it more - I couldn't ambush anyone like this, and wouldn't you know it, the goo was alive. It reached out and started smacking me around. I didn't think stabbing some goo would do anything but it did, but not before the goo beat me around the head like an ugly stepcat. If the pixie hadn't shown up with her sweet ass shield, I don't know what I would have done.

I don't need any more rooms like that, thanks.

[Ragone]

I've ventured into a room with an Altar of sacrifice in it. Nothing else of real value in this room. Can go Backwards or Right

[PurdueBrad]

Damn, good luck Autumn!

[Poli]

[Greenleaf the Qwith Ranger]

Greenleaf looked around the dungeon entrance room he had been placed in, a disdainful look on his sylvan face. His eyes were the color of spring plants and grass. His long blonde hair was pulled back behind him with a decorative leaf tieback. He clearly was not at home beneath the ground so far from the forests of his world.

But he was ready for anything this dungeon might have in store for him, he stretched and flexed his hands, showing off his tall and lean lithe figure as he assessed the room looking for anything that might be a threat or worthy of more investigation.

A star was painted on the floor in dull red blood, recent from the smell of it, no doubt meant to intimidate him. It wasn't working. The only other item of note in the room was a dusty harp in the corner. Harps had intrigued him as a youth, one of the few musical instruments out there worthy of a Qwith's interest. But a few lessons quickly showed he had no talent there, and he moved on to other interests.

A small smile crossed his face for a moment as he was transported back across the years to those childhood days of dreams. Maybe he had some skill in it now as an adult? He placed his precious long bow carefully against the wall and sat down at the proper end of the harp and placed his fingers on the strings. Dust fell from the strings as he plucked at them, and the first few notes of a Qwith bedtime lullaby filled his head.

Unfortunately for him and anyone else within hearing distance, the sound that came from the harp was nothing like that lullaby but more like the wrenching horrible cries of some forest denizen that had just been pierced by one of his arrows.

Greenleaf quickly stood up from the harp, a bit red faced in embarrassment, carefully picked up his bow and strode out of the room going forward into the dungeon, hoping the next room would not contain a musical instrument of any kind.

[OOC: Nice response to my playing the harp Abe, lol]

Solid.

[Autumn]

Which way did you go from your first room, Ragone?

[Ragone]

Forward Autumn

[Poli]

Well guys, I'm in a room with a bunch of holly bushes and an untold number of leprachauns. I can insult a leprachaun. Ahead of me is a room to a deeper level, to my left a room that people smaller than Taurians can go into, and to my right is another exit (as well as behind me, the way I came)

Poli didn't die in the first dungeon. Poli was among the winners of the first dungeon. PB on the other hand...

[PurdueBrad]

Hmmm, shit, my notes from the old dungeon are wrong and I'm trying to avoid revisiting the old thread. Oh well, still worth a shot.

[bhlloy]

I went forward and I'm in a boring looking room with a cabinet. I can go forward again towards darker bricks or go right. No left turn at this junction.

[Poli]

PB posting in pink. Oh, those were the days of not being banned.

[Autumn]

So it seems everywhere so far this "level" is two rooms deep, before you get to the next darker bricks.

[bhlloy]

With my character choice I need to meet up with some people or I'm meat. So I'm probably going to go right or stay on this level and hope I run into somebody. Just an FYI if anyone wants to try and hook up with a healer. No, not like that Danny

[ntndeacon]

There is a well in the room We entered and only one other way to move besides the way we came in

[Abe Sargent]

mauboy1, check your pm you just got.

My tentative plan is to head left and see if I can meet up with some of the people going right, so hopefully that will work.

[hoopsguy]

Now in a room with crates.

[Autumn]

Hoops, which direction did you head?

[hoopsguy]

xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx
x x x
x x x
Grass Star Crates x
x x x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[hoopsguy]

Darn, formatting sucks.

First room = Grass Star, headed right (options to go left or straight as well)
Second room = Crates, options to go back or left

[The Jackal]

So, I'm in a room with a 50 foot four-legged beast. If I were a paladin I'd probably stay and fight it.

Glad I'm not a paladin.

RUN AWAY!!

Not all paladins are idiots. Just saying.

[The Jackal]

The room is supported by four pillars made from evil material. For those of you that might want to avoid it in the future. But I'm pretty sure you'll see the GIANT DROOLING BEAST first.

[The Jackal]

Not all paladins are idiots. Just saying.

And not all bards are drunken storytellers. But damned if most of us aren't.

[hoopsguy]

I believe that is what we refer to as "Hoopsguy's future minion". Please get me directions to that room ... in verse, if you must.

[The Jackal]

Whence I have more of a sense,
of the ups and downs,
the lefts and rights,
the thin and the dense,

To the monster I shall direct,
you and those who wish it
and in your memory a statue
this drunken harp shall erect.

[Autumn]

lol, nice

[Autumn]

which way did you head from your fisrst room Jackal?

[The Jackal]

Forwards into that great dark night

[Julio Riddols]

I ran into a flame imp and dispatched him bravely, but not before receiving a singed tail and some burnt whiskers.. Now to see what this forge can do.. And I need to get more accurate with this bow.

[CrimsonFox]

I have been assssssaulted by a pack of evil sssssssssssssspidersssssssss. I am happy to report that I have dessssspatched them ssssso you needn't fear being harasses by them in the future.

[CrimsonFox]

Twassss my fear of the classssss. During my sssstudiesssss when choossssin my professsssion, I consssssidered going the way ot the healer, but my ssssuperior found I had too much unchecked rage and wrecklessssslesssssnessss sssssso they trained me to attack thingsssss. They feared I would meet an untimely end unlessss gave me attacking sssskills of a Priessssst. Luckily I have ssssince learned to control and channel my aggressssion.

[Abe Sargent]

Okay, I just processed a couple more move actions and now we're done with those. Two missed, and I'm not going to give them more time to catch up, but its a slow day, mostly.

[Autumn]

CF, want to lisp us some details about your rooms?

Julio, which direction did you go to get to your room? And what was in your first room?

[Chief Rum]

I have found a Lajatang, which I cannot use. This is a two-handed exotic weapon. If someone is interested in a trade, feel free to make me an offer.

[CrimsonFox]

Pardon, good ssssirs, could I re-inquire what the lassst two actionssss of the day are for? I asssume we cannot move to another room correct? But what are our optionsss? And that protection of the nice sssprites lasssts through those actions and that's it?

[PurdueBrad]

I've got a pretty lame little Paint map going for my rooms but based on where I am, I now have access to 6 different rooms. So if somebody ends up in that area, I can probably give you some directions.

Things to look out for that are noticeable:
room w/ a fireplace
an entrance that a Taurian can't enter
the corpse (hopefully) of a slain leprechaun

[CrimsonFox]

CF, want to lisp us some details about your rooms?

Julio, which direction did you go to get to your room? And what was in your first room?


I wassss granted a blessssing from the Great Mother upon entry. A ssssimple bath to cleanse myssssself, body, mind, and ssssoul. Then sssspidersssss of courssssse going forward. A quintuplet of ssspiderssss in fact.

[PurdueBrad]

OH, and as people start to run out of food, I will have some for you as I do not need to eat so we can trade.

[CrimsonFox]

I found dark brick and a ssssmall entrancccce.

[Danny]

What an embarassing day1 for me, i need to eat spme crow

[CrimsonFox]

Did the sssprites have to ssssave the great bull warrior or sssomething? That would be a pity

[Autumn]

I'll have to thank Abe for having you start in the room with a bath, CF.

[Autumn]

CF, which direction did you go from the bath room, and which direction is the small exit?

[CrimsonFox]

That wasssss not very niccccce.

[Autumn]

None of you wash yourselves properly. I give myself a tongue bath twice a day.

[mauchow]

Kimbo Slice and I have ended up in the same room. Not sure if I should have said, but that is indeed the case.

[Autumn]

Awesome!

[Autumn]

Mauboy, which direction did you head today?

[Danny]

So no one is going to actually talk about their room? lol Anybody have anything interesting they can do in theirs? Any interest in trying to facilitate people meeting up through some genius system of movements?

My initial allowed me to sit on a throne. I chose this action, but nothing happened

[Danny]

There was nothing else interesting about my starting room

[Danny]

I'm not going to badger everybody, but I am willing to keep info on rooms if people want to share. Let me know what's distinctive about your room and what exits it has, and ideally which direction you go.

My initial room had exits forward and to the right. I went to the right, will post details in a few when I catch up with posts

[CrimsonFox]

None of you wash yourselves properly. I give myself a tongue bath twice a day.




thhhhhhhhat issss TMI.


But I did bathe in the blesssssed watersssss and now I am refessssssshed for the upcoming challengesssss.

Forward and right were my choicessssss. I chosssssse forward. Then ssspiders and many exxxxits including the red brick low one.

[Danny]

I give myself a tongue bj twice a day.

TMI!!!

[PurdueBrad]

CF, did you get any info about the small entrance?

[CrimsonFox]

Pardon, good ssssirs, could I re-inquire what the lassst two actionssss of the day are for? I asssume we cannot move to another room correct? But what are our optionsss? And that protection of the nice sssprites lasssts through those actions and that's it?


bump [what do we do with 2 more actions? And I assume it's in the room we ended up in?]

[Danny]

So again, initial room had a throne on it (which I sat on and did nothing) with exits foward and to the right.

I went to the right, encountered four guzzaks and they would have killed me if not for pixies coming to my rescue. Pretty sure Abe planned to stick me in the room right next to four monsters

[Danny]

My exits for this room are backward, forward, and right for Dvergr or Guzak

[CrimsonFox]

I went againssssst 5 and sssurvived. Jusssst sayin.

[Danny]

5 what? kittens?

[Danny]

Did you really though?

And yes I am sure Abe put both of us next to all the monsters.

[Danny]

I an thinking that if I go forward I may run into someone else's starting room. I will be doing that since I cant go right toward the center
