View Full Version : The Riddling Reaver (Actual Game Thingy)

Ok, here we go. The real thing. I'll change the name of the other one to -(chat) or something
The Curse Of Kallamehr (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/Mkvenner/The%20Riddling%20Reaver/kallamehr.jpg)
you have been trekking across Allansia, n search of adventure, excitement, and above all, treasure! Forsaking the western shores, you headed south, and came to the land of , Kallamehr (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/Mkvenner/The%20Riddling%20Reaver/kallamehr.jpg), which is ruled by the noble house of Rangor. Compared to the hardships you faced on the journey, Kallamehr promises comfort and rich pickings. Judging by the rounded bellies of the traders you have passed, business must be good here
After two months' solid travelling, interrupted only by the occasional skirmish with beasts and bandits, you have caught the scent of the sea in the wind. The road broadens as it approaches the town of Kallamehr, and you see it's famous tower looming majestically in the distance. as you draw near the town, you catch sight of the sprawling collection of buildings which huddle beneath the tower. The twiting architecture is strange to your northern eyes; it seems to have no order to it. yo wonder how on earth people can live in such chaotic squalor.
An imposing pair of gates loom before you. Strangely, no guards seem to be around, and the gates are open. you can make out the faint sound of shouting from the other side of town, but houses block your vision and you cannot see what the commotion is about.
As you stand in the gateway, you hear thumping from the gatehouse to your left. Someone seems to be trying to attract your attenition.
"In the name of charity, let me out!" a tiny voice implores, "Surely I, one of Baron Bluestones' most loyal subjects, should have the right to witness the struggle. Let me out?
Edging closer, you see a man's gaunt face pressed against the door's grille. manacled hands grip the bars and tears stain his grubby face. He does not look much like a loyal citizen to yo, and he has most certainly been locked in the gatehouse for a good reason. there are no keys nearby.
Abandoning him to his fate, you hurry towards the sound of the crowd, which gets louder as you het closer. Carts sit unattended, stalls unguarded, and livestockruns free. Minutes after leaving the gate, you arrive at the central square - the scene of the commotion. Packed into the aquare is a vast crowd (surely the entire population of Kallamehr, apart from). each pair of eyes is fixed on the top of the tower, where a spindly figure is struggling to free himself from the clutches of a short robed man, who in turn is trying to force the other off the edge of the balcony. The Spindly man is teetering on the edge. with every twist and turn the onlookers gasp ever louder. The tension is unbearable.
Scene 1: Tower Trouble
Ok, you all know your stats and stuff. Shiro, you have 12 spell choices. PM me which ones you want and how many. Also, you can attempt to make up your own spells. Pm me about any you think of and I'll decide whether you can use them/how hard it is to use them etc.
Once you're all ready, we'll begin proper

Ruri-Ruri
13-01-2006, 11:16 pm

i dont think adge is going to be around very often.
Mad Larkin
13-01-2006, 11:35 pm
hmm.....wheres fox....or maybe balmung. I'll ask
Balmung406
13-01-2006, 11:49 pm
Ready for action!
Revolver
15-01-2006, 11:14 am
now for xias *sleeps again*
Mad Larkin
15-01-2006, 05:40 pm
xias'll be on 2day...at least, she thnks she will, so...
do i get on with it? whatr do you guys reckon
Shiro
15-01-2006, 10:54 pm
you'd probably better - I'm sure you could find a way of working Xias into it when she turns up! ^^

If you insist *washes hands*
Scene 1: Tower Trouble (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/Mkvenner/The%20Riddling%20Reaver/Towertrouble.jpg)
You are in a throng of townspeople, struggling to avoid being crushed against the sea wall. People are shrieking in disbelief, and pandemonium reigns. You guess that it is the Baron up there, fighting for his life. But why?
Nobody seems able to do anything; guardsmen are pounding in vain on the mighty oaken doors of the tower. The crowd just stands and stares.
The sea crashes against vicious rocks at the foot of the cliff below the tower. Now is your chance to demonstrate your heroism. Can you save the baron.? But how do you reach him? :confused:
BTW, from now on, any underlined sections are probably links to images (as above)
Shiro
16-01-2006, 09:20 pm
OK... game question...
Do I confer with the group before I make an action, and can I ask you about my abilities sometimes if I feel I need them explaining?
Balmung406
16-01-2006, 09:25 pm
ummm yeah good question, do we?
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 09:27 pm
Yes, If you are ever confused about anything, just ask me.
And yes, you are working as a team, so, while you CAN run off on your own, and even try to complete it on your own, it is usually best to confer with the rest of the group and together, decide on the best course of action.
Also, I mentioned it in the other one, but you all start off with a rope, a backpack, 10 provisions (each restoring 4 pts of stamina, but can only be used at times stated by me) and a sword
Shiro
16-01-2006, 09:27 pm
Does my levitate spell work on more than one person... and did I pick a levitate spell? lol
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 09:36 pm
Your Levitation spell only works on one person and yes you did pk it. It makes sense that the res of your merry band would know what you have spell-wise so...
Shiro’s spells:
Shielding
Levitation x2
Creature copy
ESP
Luck Restore x2
Stamina restore x4
Weakness
I realise this is gonna mean a fair bit of waiting, because we're probably not gonna be on here at the same time. I will try my best to keep things moving forwards, but f you need to makle any important decisions, or carry on with the plotline then i will need to wait for the others
Shiro
16-01-2006, 09:38 pm
ok, given I can only levitate one person, I guess I would suggest either ropes or I levitate the strongest person up there!
Balmung406
16-01-2006, 09:39 pm
umm right, who's the oldest out of us?
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 09:43 pm
wha?
BTW, there isnt technically a "strength" rating. Stamina is life, and the highest is ruri, Skill is weappon skill, and the highest is you balmung
Revolver
16-01-2006, 09:44 pm
we should get all of our ropes and tie them togther then shiro levitates one of us up and they tie the rope on and the rest climb up
Balmung406
16-01-2006, 09:44 pm
right shiro, beam me up scotty!
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 09:45 pm
Shiro:
Stamina (Hp) = 14 (max for mage)
Skill (with weapons) = 8
Luck = 10
Balmung:
Stamina = 17
Skill = 11
Luck = 8
Ruri
Stamina = 24 (Max amount)
Skill = 7 (minimum amount)
Luck = 9
Revolver
Stamina = 19
Skill = 9
Luck = 9
Xias
Stamina = 22
Skill = 8
Luck = 7
and nice plan guys
Revolver
16-01-2006, 09:46 pm
i would change adge to be balmung larkin
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 09:47 pm
oops sorry
BTWthere are 4 floors, only 3 available to a levitator
the ground floor (thru the doors)
1st floor (1st wndow)
2nd floor (2nd window)
top of tower (duh!)
Revolver
16-01-2006, 09:55 pm
we need the ropes and shiro you need to get one of us to 2nd floor then we all climb up the rope and then to the top
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 09:57 pm
shiro, in order to use levitation, you must succeed a magic test....fortunately, the 1st 1 works automatically this time
Balmung406
16-01-2006, 09:57 pm
well if anyone's going to go it should be me, I can be sacrificed!
Revolver
16-01-2006, 09:59 pm
well you should go to the second floor then you can throw down the ropes we tie and the we all climb up and fight as a team! please give me your ropes people
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:02 pm
The ropes are handed to balmung, because hes the 1 going up lol
Balmung406
16-01-2006, 10:04 pm
right shiro you know what to do. (damn what have I got myself into!)
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:05 pm
erm....not too much i think
Revolver
16-01-2006, 10:06 pm
balmung you nead to tie the ropes so we have anough lenth
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:08 pm
BTW, are you going to the 2nd floor (second window), or the second floor as in the one above the ground floor?
Revolver
16-01-2006, 10:09 pm
second window
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:13 pm
where shiro go?
Revolver
16-01-2006, 10:14 pm

Shiro
16-01-2006, 10:20 pm
OK, OK, I'll levitate Balmung! lol
Revolver
16-01-2006, 10:21 pm
god speed balmung and shiro! :D
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:23 pm
ready balmung? good....
BTW, ruri and Xias are being waylaid by a big ugly bloke lol
***As shiro concentrates on lifting Balmung, a cool breeze fills the immediate area, acccompanied by the tang of metal. Slowly at first, Balmung begins to float towards the second floor***
Balmung406
16-01-2006, 10:24 pm
*levitates to 2nd floor and ties the rope* ok guys I've done it! *throws down the rope*
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:24 pm

Balmung406
16-01-2006, 10:33 pm
woo hoo I'm a hero!
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:34 pm
ooh er
***As Balmung climbs in and throws the rope down to the others, he sees the other sole occupant of the room. A raging firey demon locked within a cage. As his feet touch the ground, he hits a pressure switch and the cage door is opened (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/Mkvenner/The%20Riddling%20Reaver/Devlin.jpg)
The stone he is standing on sinks into the ground and he stumbles, inadvertantly kicing over a bucket of ater, nd the contents fling themselves over the demon. It shies away with a hiss just as the others climb up***
Revolver
16-01-2006, 10:35 pm
yes you are you and shiro are very good team members
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:36 pm

Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:38 pm
heehee....you see the pic. it holds a clue. as does my narrative

Revolver
16-01-2006, 10:42 pm
get the water bucets and dip your swords in them then attack and stay well scatered
Shiro
16-01-2006, 10:42 pm
If we use our noodles, we could put them in the water and the fire would cook them!!!!! :p
Is there any more water about?
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:42 pm

Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:48 pm
just you two, ok
DEVLIN
Stamina 0 (you'll see)

*slashes mechenish with sword* yep its up to you guys!
Mad Larkin
16-01-2006, 10:53 pm
***The Devlin bats away the sword, unfased by the miniscule amount of water on it.
Devlin strikes, balmyung deflect the blow and kicks a bucket of water at it,which (rather comically) lands over its head. It stumbles into another bucket, and then back into its cage, which shiro shuts behind it***

***As you rush up the stairs, you see a terrible sight. The baron has been stabbed in the chest and is sliding of the assailants sword, over the edge of the tower
As you approach him he spins on the spotand says "Looks like we're a bit late aren't we? Your precious baron's not much use now is he? He had no sense of humour anyway. I always hate goodbyes. Maybe we'll meet again...maybe not". He throws a small object at the pole (see pic) whuch turns intio a giant snake***

nice idea.. If you feel you must kill it, that''ll work cos shiros demon will be under his control

what if it can't fight the snake?
although if you want to, I can.

***As revolver rushes upstairs he sees a ghostly image of the Devlin float up the stairs beside him. As he reaches the top he sees it solidify and smells the tang of metal and realises it must be shiro's doing. The Devlin faces the snake and glowers, and the snake swallows it whole, only too late realising its a mistake. The devlin burns through the inside of the snake to emerge in a bloody mess of gribbliness before disappearing***

***Revolver picks up the box, and tries to open it, eventually throwing it on the floor but to no avail.

***Inside the chest is a scroll. But it is blank. Then, slowly, writing apprears on it.
"I always believe in giving people a fair chance. After all without chance there is no luck, and without either, whats the point of having me around, what with me being an emissery of the gods of chance and luck? You can try to foloow me if u want, ill even supply the transport, all you need to do, is throw the following objects in the sea.....but i wont just TELL you where they are, youll have to solve my little riddles first

And together im found where children abound
2a. what am i?
My belly is round (its revolver...throw him in the sea lol
and bound with iron bonds
what i carry always raises a cheer
murder have i not done
stolen not, cheaten not
but still a peg is beaten into my head
2b. Where am I?
my coat is green and i can speak
of several things but mosly cheek
In such a prison i am set
that has ore loopholes than a net
3a. What am i?
Ive neither top nor bottom
yet i hold bone and skin
I hardy ever make a noise
but my names an aweful din
3b. Where am I?
Ill-matched is my visage to my frame

by fame well known through all the allansian lands
from a man and beast together is my name

***The Baron's wife thanks you for tryiing to save her husband (she was trapped downstairs by a big spider...i mean HUUUUUUUUUGE!) and arranges for a guide to help you find the items you need.
He is the apprentice of the old guy with a slit throat. so you set off to find the items...whatever they are***
btw huys, you can get some different weapons now. the rules are slightly complicated and i feel it would be easier to go without them....but its up to you
Shiro
18-01-2006, 10:43 pm
Can I have a mage's staff?
Mad Larkin
18-01-2006, 10:44 pm
errr... sorry, i meant there's a list of weapons to pick from, but they have odd rules...it'll also mean more work for m, but i dont realy mind lol
Shiro
18-01-2006, 11:22 pm
OK! Well, it's up to you then! If you think it would be interesting and you could manage, let's go for it, if not then don't worry! ^^
Mad Larkin
19-01-2006, 04:48 pm
I could manage, it just means that i'll have to spend a while typing it up lol
Balmung406
19-01-2006, 04:50 pm
sounds intresting..... if you feal up to it then it's worth a try.
Revolver
19-01-2006, 10:18 pm
*runs after the others with ruri and xias*
Mad Larkin
19-01-2006, 10:22 pm
ok, well each weapon basically changes how much damage you do and is decided on a table.... e.g. a sword always does 2 danage, but a battle-axe can do from 1 to 3
TABLE
Dice roll of___ does ___ damage
Battle-axe 1 2 2 2 2 3
Dagger 1 1 2 2 2 2 (note: attack twice)
Mace 2 2 2 2 2 2
Spear 1 1 2 2 3 3
Morning Star 1 2 2 2 3 3 (note: lowers skill by 1)
Sword 2 2 2 2 2 2
Two-handed
sword 2 2 2 3 3 3 (nore: lowers skill by 2)
So if you have a spear and you hit, you roll a d6 and on a 3 do 2 damage, on a 6 do 3 damage, and on a 1do 1 damage
Revolver
19-01-2006, 10:25 pm
battle-axe please sir
Balmung406

Mad Larkin
19-01-2006, 10:45 pm
On your way there, you see that despite the death of the baron, the people seem to be going about their ordinary lives (maybe its a common occurrence lol)
bugger....2 secs
Shiro
19-01-2006, 10:47 pm
I dunno if we want that sort of material in the rp. no-one said anything about buggery...
Mad Larkin
19-01-2006, 10:55 pm
oh ha!
***Anyway, the bath house is a nice enough place when you get there, made of solid marble and everything. (my narrations going down hill lol) But unfortunately, you havent enough money to enter***
where now?
Balmung406
19-01-2006, 10:55 pm

Shiro
19-01-2006, 10:56 pm

***"i suppose i could let you in for free just this once" she says "but only if you sleep with my son". Almost immediately revolver steps forward and says "I'll Do It!!"
later...
All your clothing and weaponry is taken awayby a clerk (dont get too excited revolver...xias and ruri are in a different bath)
The water is a strange colour cos of all the salt in it and you sit down and relax***
Revolver
19-01-2006, 11:40 pm

***Just as you start to relax, you notice a thrashing in the water as six electric eels are let into the room. You leap to your feet to grab your weapons...but you havent got any...your all nekked***
Electric Eel Stamina:4
skill: 6

Shiro
20-01-2006, 11:33 pm
Why must we all be nekked?
Can I steal a towel at least? When I'm fighting the eels I don't wanna get confused...
Balmung406

Shiro
20-01-2006, 11:46 pm
I'm telling you, if I fight without a towel I'm gonna get confused about which massive snake like thing to hit... is there a weapon or anything I can use nearby?
Balmung406
20-01-2006, 11:54 pm
you could wee on them!
Mad Larkin
20-01-2006, 11:56 pm

anyway, you get to the pub/inn, which is boring and pub-ish (surprise!)
theres a guy laying that game with the thing under the cups, and he doesn't seem o be losing, a parrot in a cage (ded),
a slate giving ale prices, and a bunch or barrels and casks ready to be bought (5 gold for cask, 10 for barrel...very cheap), and a rat-faced guy watching the cup-man and fiddling with a cheap looking necklace
thats pretty much it...what ya wanna do
