RULES

Spoiler:

you move around in a text adventure style. i shall discribe rooms and what is happning
casting spells cost one mana, if you run out of mana you pass out and need to be revived(this cost another player a go).
fighting is simple, if you have 3 attacks you roll 3 dice, 1,2,3 is a hit, 4,5,6 is a miss
defending is the same 2 defence = 2 dice,
---for heros 1,2,3,4, you take a hit, 5,6 you save.
---for monsters, 1,2,3,4,5 its hit, 6 its saved.
you move and then fight one per turn.
the turns are taken HEROS,GAMESMASTER,HEROS,GAMESMASTER ETC
Heros fight first in new rooms unless otherwise stated.
potions are a quick item and may be taken at any time within reason. (if you are hit you must make saves before drinking a potion)
You may search the room once the monsters are dead, roll a die, on a 1 you spring a trap and have to roll defence.
to stop us getting stuck, if you are idle for to long you are passed by, as if you are out of range of fighting.

[SoapyHobo]

I wouldn't mind playing as mage, if anyone else joins in.

Join, people!

[Col. Mustard]

If this gets off the ground I'll join up as the dark elf. That map looks a lot like the Heroquest board game. Not saying that's a bad thing, because I have wasted many an afternoon playing it.

[Nexus_1101]

if you read in my inital post it is loosly based on heroquest, i dug it out of storage a cuple months ago and it was a sudden idea a cuple days ago to try and make it into forum form.

a loved hero quest as a kid, and i think it would work great here.

[Col. Mustard]

hehe whoops I just kinda skimmed over the op. I still have my original copy, plus an extra board with game pieces I found at a yard sale for $5

[Nexus_1101]

me too, i also have 2 of the expantion series of heroquest and the advanced one too, i loved it, had to save all my pennies, ahh the memories.

EDIT:

oh also i have created this batch file for those who cant get thair hands on dice.

ON FIRST POST

[clockworkmonk]

I'll play. Not particular about the role, just whatever would need filling.

[Nexus_1101]

if you want could create a monk char for you?

[Nexus_1101]

OK this is the first part of the intro to the Quest and general story

Quest 1 - The missing apprentice (pt. 1)

It is a dark and blustery night. Four figures wrapped tight against the cold make their way in to the town of Coral. A town built with a high wall on three sides and flush with the beach to the south. Wave’s crash ashore, mixed in with the cracks and rumbles of thunder.
The rain lashes in waves against their cloaks, driven by a shrieking wind. The mysterious figures push on into the town, arriving at a small old building with an ancient thatched roof. A sign swings on its hinges next to the door.
“The Adventurers Inn”

As they walk into the Inn and shrug off their cloaks, shaking the rain off as they go.
There was a human warrior, strong and fast, a dwarf short but powerful and quick, a mage tall with an air of power, and a dark elf slender with finesse.
They all sat at the bar un-knowing that they were being watched. A man sat in a corner of the Inn, is face covered by the darkness of the room. Watching them at the bar he takes in another drag on his pipe, blowing the smoke into the room, as the evening draws on and the smoke curls up into the rafters, the customers slowly leave, only the man in the corner and the visitors remain.

[Rodan]

I'll join, if that's all right. I'll take the dwarf.

[Nexus_1101]

sweet, thats a full house, i am still creating the first quest but i shall post it up on monday. promise.

[clockworkmonk]

which leaves me as the warrior.

[Nexus_1101]

After a short amount of time passes the stranger walks over to the visitors and speaks to them.
“You…” he stammers “you are Adventurers, am I correct” He walks closer to the adventurers “I… I need your help, my apprentice has gone missing. He went missing about three days ago. I fear he has been taken by evil creatures of darkness.” He stumbles forward and leans on the bar. “I have something that you must see, follow me to my house.”

All five ventured out into the night, the wind had died down and the thunder passed. They arrived at a small house just inside the northern borders of the town. They follow the man inside, it was as small inside as it looked outside but was warm. The walls where filled with books. Almost every wall was covered in books.
The old man walks over to a book shelf and removes one of the books and places it on a table.
“This book is a gateway to where my apprentice has gone. It is one of the dark underground lairs of the trolls kingdom” he opens it, all the pages are blank but one it ahs an image on it that almos looks alive. The adventures move around the table to get a better look. The flames on the page are flickering.

“Here is one thousand gold for you to buy what ever provisions you need” he said, handing over a small leather pouch. “buy what you need and meet me back here in the morning”

UPDATED: shop now moved to opening post!!!

[Rodan]

I take the gold, and distribute it equally among the four of us.
With my 250 gold, I buy a shield of defense, and a potion of mana regen.

[clockworkmonk]

With my share, I buy the shortsword +1 and chainmail +1.

[SoapyHobo]

I'll take the cloak of protection and a potion of mana regen.

[Nexus_1101]

once col.M has decided what to buy ill start the quest.

how would you like your char sheets to be kept, do you want me to update my opening post or do you want to keep them?

[Rodan]

updating the post would be nice.

[Nexus_1101]

What are your chars names?

[Rodan]

Rodan. (every other name I create always ends up lame.)

[clockworkmonk]

lets go with oh, Mosden should do.

[Col. Mustard]

I'll take the Potion of Strength, Potion of Health, and Chain Mail +1

[Nexus_1101]

OK i should be puting the last of the intro up a little later today, the internet(crappy Virgin) has been down over the weekend and is still down today, so i can only post from work, i am on my laptop at the moment so will post as sonn as i have some lunch.

[Quadropus]

Hmm... This intrigues me... what level of commitment would it require?

[Col. Mustard]

Bumpity bump...

[HedgehogsAreFunneh]

Looks interesting (but I have no idea what heroquest is.)

[Nexus_1101]

Quest 1 - The missing apprentice (pt. 1) (cont)

You return to the house, the man is bent over a book.
“Here,” he croaks “this is a linking book; it shall take you to the dangerous land, the one that I believe my apprentice has been taken to.”
If you can find him and bring him back I would be very grateful and the rewards would be substantial.”
He walks over to a book shelf and pulls out a leather bound book, he hands it to you.
“This is the book you require to return safely back here. Do not lose it or you shall have to find another way back.”
The man moves slowly to one of the chairs around the table and sits down heavily.
“All you need to do is touch the book and you shall be transported to the place my apprentice has been taken.” He paused for a brief moment “please be quick as it has already been some time since he vanished.”

((sorry for the late post the internet has been down at home and I have been house hunting, but as now both are sorted I can devote a little more time o this thread))

[Rodan]

*touches book.*
"what're we waiting for?"

[clockworkmonk]

nothing, I suppose
*Mosden touches the book*

[Nexus_1101]

Both Rodan and Mosden disapear in a small flash of light

[SoapyHobo]

*Stendar touches the book*

((almost forgot about this))

[Nexus_1101]

as Stendar touches the book he also dissapears from the room.

[Col. Mustard]

I touch the book also...

[Nexus_1101]

the room was empty now apart from the old man.
he picked up the book and closed it.
"I hope to see you again" he mubles

The adventures appere in a dark and dank smelling room, the only light is from the few torches that are dotted around the wall of the room. the walls are all solid stone work, and the floor is created from heavy slabs. In the corner of the room lay the reminants of a skeleton.
There is a door to the north.

[Rodan]

I inspect the skeleton.

[SoapyHobo]

I'll take one of the torches, if it's gonna stay dark.

[Nexus_1101]

The skeleton gives you 12 gold and 1 healing potion

Rodan gains 12G and 1 healing potion (+2)
Stendar Gains 1 torch

[Rodan]

wait. Gives as in hands or as in I found?
I also take one of the torches.

[Nexus_1101]

"the pilaging of the skeleton gives you"
