Adventures in Dungeoneering

[Retech]

So basically how I'll do this is that during a session, when I roll and reply to your actions, you'll get a consise note style summary of your action, and a more storylike lore kinda thing, if your action is part of an epic adventure (like the new campaign we're about to start) and actually has something you can do with it.

 

Comments, questions, and feedback on the discussion thread please. I'll take...two pages of reserve?

[Hide=The End of a Beginning - Chapter One]

 

"Papa, tell me a story about brave adventurers, powerful monsters, wise wizards, and a dragon", the child implored.

 

Grandpa chuckled and adjusted his flopping hat. "I know the perfect story for that. This happened when I was a teenie weensy gnome, just like yourself..."

 

It was the time before my 15th birthday, when the clouds gathered in the Eastern skies. They were higher than any of the clouds we'd seen before, and the sunlight never broke them for weeks on end. The waves washed farther and farther up the coasts of the lands beneath us and pulled the sand into the oceans, making it murky and dark. I could see that the Liches frequently left their stronghold, to search for bones and hearts of beasts. My worst fears came to pass, when the Liches began to summon their undead legions to march upon the only human settlement in the entire region. The Archineers, ancient wizards of allomancy, surfaced as well, bringing their mechanical constructs with them.

 

Something I didn't know until after the ordeal was the removal of the magical seal placed by mages long ago, on the well to the underworld. His name was Grim the just. In his greed to loot the underworld of its posessions, he even took the pain of death in order to retrieve what he thought was rightfully his, one of the white elm staves. When I saw the demons walking upon the Earth, all the ingredients were there. I knew the end was coming. Ragnarok.

-Wonders what is next-

 

 

Well, that's it for today. Look for an update tomorrow.

[archimage_a]

-Lock- :rolleyes:

 

 

I was thinking that it was going to be the story version of Dungeoneering...retelling the epic tale of Dungeoneering with advanced story telling techniques...like adjectives, creativity and description. Pictures would be fun too

[The_Mather1]

Retech, you know you can just use multiple hide tags, Outsanity described an entire skill (with lvl reqs and pics) in one post.

 

Also hextiple, heptiple and octiple.

[Nexaduro]

HEX! KILLKILLKILL!

[Retech]

Okay, since apparantly I only needed one post for purely hide tags, then Archi, you can lock the discussion thread. I just needed the reserves. :P

[Nexaduro]

Nooo! It must not be locked! Then how will I make sarcastic comments that can be instantly associated with the storyline you create?!

[Nexaduro]

Oh, and was there any homework Retech? Other than Social Studies studying?

[Retech]

Nooo! It must not be locked! Then how will I make sarcastic comments that can be instantly associated with the storyline you create?!

 

You can still post them here.

If there was, I didn't do it.

[Nexaduro]

Typical <_<

[Nexaduro]

New avatar! Yay!

 

"Behold... The Fork of Truth!"

[Retech]

Okay, the very first intro part has been put in. Basically the thing I added before, except that it has some foreshadowing which might help you, if you find it.

[Nexaduro]

Two things: By saying "Ragnarok" you have ensured a Mather-related argument. Also, it's not Grim the Just, it's, and I quote:

Grim The Almost-But-Not-Quite Mad,

[Retech]

I used Ragnarok as a synonym for the apocalypse. That's not necessarily a Mather-related argument.

 

 

Besides, the grampa can choose whatever name he wants for him!

[hide=Tale the Zeroeth]

It had been a long road, getting from there to here, it had been a long time, but his time was finally near. He could feel the change in the wind right then, nothing in his way, and their not gonna hold him down no more, no their not gonna hold him down. Cause he has Godhood, he's going where the power takes him. He's got power, to destroy, he can do anything. He's got buns, made of steel, and no one's gonna bend or break them. He can reach any stars. He's got Godness

"I've got God, God of the world!!!"

Archimage had been humming to herself after hearing the catchy new Star Truk theme tune, but had now broken out into song, and if the tavern door hadn't gone would have probably started dancing too.

"Let me through, I am a vet, where is the strangled cat?"

"Thanks Retech, no, its just me."

"Oh hi, things good with you?"

"I am feeling a bit bored actually."

"Hegemony getting you down?"

"It just feels so futile..."

"You know what you need?"

"What?"

"A Time Machine. Jagex is bound to bring out a new skill for Runescape some time and it would be so awesome if we created a game with the same name but months before they brought it out."

"Yeah, and we could use the same basic principle of gameplay too!"

"Sounds like an awesome plan."

"And I have been looking to test out my time machine....I was thinking about looking to see what new tech would be out next month, then start researching a day before everyone else."

"LOL"

"Did you just LOL out loud?"

"No....anyway, I have to go invade Japan"

" :rolleyes: "

"How did you manage to use a smilely out loud!

"That is the magic of Archimage"

With that a blinding light flashes across the room, huge pillers of flame erupt out of nowhere, a swarm of locusts decend from the sky, the ground opens into a massive pit of brimstone, and Archi reaches across with a mallet and knocks Retech out.

*Some time later*

"Dammit Arch, can't you just say goodbye like normal people!"

Ragnarok was what the apocalypse acording to norse mythology, it was when the Jotuns would attack, led by Loke, and the Fenrik wolf would eat the sun.

It is propperly used though as Ragnarok is synonomous to Apokalypse in everything but mythology.

[Seraphi]

You forgot Jormungandr.

 

But yeah, this is what Nex was talking about. The second somebody mentions anything that may be of Norse origin, you feel the need to jump in and elaborate.

 

Just saying.
