2 ROUNDS PLAYED SO FAR

Ever wanted to play D&D but didn't want to bother spending ages making character sheets and analyzing statistics? Then you should totally come play here! The Gates of Emerus is an ongoing role-playing adventure featuring characters of our very own RMRK members. There are two simple rules:

1. Do whatever you want, so long as it isn't overly obnoxious or nonsensical.
2. If there's a chance of failure, roll a die to see if you succeeded or failed. The following site will be used to do so: http://valhallarpg.alterra-online.net/cgi-bin/d20roller.cgi

Keeping those things in mind, make your character and join in! To see if a game is currently going on, just ask Malson about it and he'll let you know. If his name is DungeonMalson, then a game is already in progress and you can hop right in! Games will occur when a substantial amount of people are present.

The game is located on the RMRK server, and the channel is

#Emerus

If you do not know how to get there, type /join #Emerus from the main chatroom. :3

CHARACTERS:

Maiko (EVAProject): A shadow rouge. Shadow rouges are dark, covered beings. The only non covered point on their body is their eyes, which gleam a dim and weak emerald. Maiko is 24, about 6'11, and wrapped up in cloth and shadows. He is very unskilled in any offensive magic, mostly passive things and shadow skills. Shadow Rouges are more often than not discriminated by almost any other race of humanoids, seeing as their skin is shadow black and they are always covered in cloaks and occasionally light armor.

Arwym Starlight (Arwym): A female, with almond-shaped eyes that vary from gray to purple in color.  Her skin is pale, she is thin, of an average height.  Long, black hair. Half-Elf, magician. Arwym carries a very special staff with a magical crystal, that not much is known about. She hardly talks of her past, and is a very mysterious character to all.

Chi (Animefan): A small girl with a characteristic jovial serenity and an unexplainable magical prowess. She often drinks from a flask she claims is filled with "green tea," but one is left to wonder what is really in there. Chi carries some sort of half sized katana blade called a Tanto, which seems to be her only physical defense. She will use her mystics through the form of ancient guardians, who seem to watch over her and protect her.

Zeebz (GilgameshRO): A young man with white hair and red eyes who thinks he's a totally awesome villain... but is actually completely inept... and not really villain.

(Whilst playing, your nick must be the name of your character. Type /nick Character to change it, substituting the Character for the name.)

STORY:

The region of Shana, where the starting town of Triflebark rests upon, is currently waging war with the region of Djendon, to the west. Neither side is gaining much over the other, and there seems to be no clear-cut winner. It's been said to all that there is a sacred artifact located within a secret cave somewhere on Nalra, and so both sides have been yearning to find it. Neither have accomplished such a task, and it has been stressed over for months now.

Story will be updated as new sessions unfold.

Spoiler for A sample of a D&D session:
[23:02:12] <@DungeonMalson> As you take the north path, you encounter a creaky bridge. Over half the steps are detached, and the entire structure appears very unstable.
[23:02:47] <Maiko> "Ah damn. I'm way too heavy to cross this. Someone else is going first to test it."
[23:02:52] * Arwym_Starlight halts.
[23:02:53] <Chi> "Not it!"
[23:03:02] * Maiko turns to Arwym
[23:03:10] <Arwym_Starlight> "I could, of course... use my magic."
[23:03:11] <Maiko> "Your up."
[23:03:26] <Maiko> "Then lets do that, do whatever you need to."
[23:03:39] * Maiko walks to the back at the path and stares off into the forest, keeping guard.
[23:04:00] * Arwym_Starlight thinks for a moment, looking for a way to measure the strength of the bridge ahead.
[23:04:08] <@DungeonMalson> Arwym, in order to see if you successfully casted the spell, you must roll a d6. Any number higher than 3 is a success.
[23:04:16] * Chi chugs some tea like drink from a flask.
[23:04:45] <Maiko> (Arwym, do you have the dice page?)
[23:04:53] <Arwym_Starlight> (No)
[23:04:56] <Maiko> http://valhallarpg.alterra-online.net/cgi-bin/d20roller.cgi
[23:05:19] <@DungeonMalson> (omg my cat is snuggling with me he's so cute)
[23:05:40] <Arwym_Starlight> (And wow, I am still thinking... I wonder if it'd be a good idea to create a bridge of ice on top of the real bridge, then walk over it.)
[23:05:44] * Maiko takes a deep breath through the layers of clothing, sitting down on the path."
[23:06:13] * Chi puts away the flask.
[23:06:21] <Arwym_Starlight> "Fine..."
[23:06:32] * Arwym_Starlight takes a deep breath.
[23:06:37] <Maiko> (Roll 1d6)
[23:07:12] <Arwym_Starlight> (6)
[23:07:39] * Maiko looks over at Arwym and stands up, interested in her magic.
[23:07:47] * Chi takes out the flask and a beautiful cup, pours some liquid, and offers it to Maiko. "Want some?"
[23:07:58] * Maiko waves his hand.
[23:08:05] <Maiko> "I don't need anything."
[23:08:10] * Arwym_Starlight holds her staff between her two hands, stands firmly, and closes her eyes.  She begins to chant in a low voice.
[23:08:26] <@DungeonMalson> The bridge seems to catch fire at first, and completely cover itself in a massive blue flame. Then the smoke clears and the entire bridge is encapsulated in ice.
[23:08:32] * Maiko looks up at the sky to check the time
[23:08:54] <Arwym_Starlight> "Let's move on, now!"
[23:08:57] <Maiko> "Lets hurry!"
[23:09:00] <Arwym_Starlight> "The ice will begin to melt"
[23:09:07] * Chi stares in awe.
[23:09:10] * Maiko sprints across the ice, keeping good hold on the rails
[23:09:17] * Arwym_Starlight runs toward the bridge, hoping it is strong enough to support them
[23:09:27] <Arwym_Starlight> "Be careful, one at a time!"
[23:09:39] * Maiko leaps from about halfway across the bridge, landing lightly about 3/4th of the way
[23:09:47] * Chi summons some spirits to fly her over the bridge.
[23:09:50] * Maiko continues to run
[23:10:01] <@DungeonMalson> Since it is ice, there is a chance any of you may slip on it. Roll a d6, and if the number is 1 or 2, you've slipped and fell.
[23:10:05] * Chi is lightly dropped on the other side of the bridge.
[23:10:09] <Maiko> DM
[23:10:23] <Maiko> What about grabbing on the edge if falling?
[23:10:24] <Arwym_Starlight> ( fail)
[23:10:51] <@DungeonMalson> that'll require a second roll
[23:10:59] <@DungeonMalson> as well as a third to determine whether damage is taken
[23:11:00] <Chi> What the spirit thing?
[23:11:24] <@DungeonMalson> Chi, if you choose to use spirits, you've exhausted your magic ability for the day and won't be able to use another spell.
[23:11:29] * Chi is a leet summoning ancestor worshipping Shintoist.
[23:11:40] <Chi> Ok, screw teh spirits then.
[23:11:50] <Chi> For the day? Like the in-game day, or real day?
[23:11:53] * Maiko lets out a small shriek as he slips on the edge of the right side
[23:11:57] <@DungeonMalson> in-game day
[23:12:07] <Chi> oh, well it's gettign dark so I should be good.
[23:12:16] <Chi> Resume spirit usage!
[23:12:20] <@DungeonMalson> ok
[23:12:35] * Arwym_Starlight attempts to cross the bridge, but slips halfway.
[23:12:38] * Maiko grips the edge of the bridge tightly
[23:12:47] <@DungeonMalson> Maiko and Arwym, you both slipped. Roll again to see if you grabbed the rails for support. a number from 1-4 will ensure this.
[23:12:49] <Maiko> "Augh, Damnit!
[23:12:57] <Maiko> I rolled a 5
[23:13:05] <Maiko> This should be a high roller check
[23:13:19] <@DungeonMalson> wha
[23:13:24] <Maiko> 1 & 2 should fail
[23:13:30] <Maiko> Above that is good
[23:13:40] <@DungeonMalson> all numbers are equally possible =/
[23:13:42] <Arwym_Starlight> (rolled 4)
[23:13:48] <Maiko> Alright.
[23:13:57] <@DungeonMalson> if it were 2d6 it'd be a different story
[23:14:09] * Maiko grips onto the edge, but the ice thins and sends him falling into the water below.
[23:14:21] * Chi landed safely on the other side.
[23:14:27] <Chi> "Thanks spirits!"
[23:14:34] * Chi notices she's missing a friend.
[23:14:40] * Arwym_Starlight screams
