"Ahhh... yeees... yeeees there is definitely something special about you."
You start, at the sound of a rough, chilling voice behind you. The hooded figure, who looks almost to be the size of a child, peers up at you. What? you ask, your voice coming out a little more squeaky and afraid than you meant to. You can see the faint light of... wherever you are... glint off of the figure's teeth and eye--just one eye--, and you shudder slightly. It's sort of cold... "Yes... very special," he says--you think it's a he? It's very difficult to tell, with that hood, but you decide to assume so, for all intents and purposes. "The fact that you ended up here at all definitely says something about you."
"Who am I?" Well, no, you never asked who he was, but you tilt your head anyway. It's better than looking around, because you've finally noticed that everything around you is completely black, save for the small circle of light beneath your feet. Is that... whispering...? "I am... well, that's not terribly important. You can call me Chesh, if you want, baby." The child--you're not so sure anymore if it's a child or not--giggles, waving a cloth paw-covered hand at you. "Oh, you should see your face right now. Ah, I guess I should let you get back to... whatever it is you corporeal beings do. Breathe, probably. Laaaame!"
You're getting a little bit annoyed at this point, and you try to take a step towards the figure to reach for his hood, but he quickly flashes out of the way, landing out of the circle of light. "Oh, no no no. That won't do, that won't do at all, Visitor!" You scowl and try to step out of the circle, and your heart drops in your chest about four meters when you realize you're stepping into nothingness. You scream and catch your balance, and your scream seems to echo for nearly a full minute before you regain your footing and stare at the figure with a look of fear. He giggles. "Visitor, please be more careful. I'll let you go home lickety split; but first, won't you hear what I have to say?"
You nod, because what else could you do at this point? His lips pull back in an even larger grin that seems to take up his entire shadowy face, and he steps a little closer and rolls up his sleeves. He shakes them out slightly, and suddenly a number of keys fall out of his baggy striped sleeves and clatter to the floor. Or what should be the floor. It certainly wasn't floor when you stepped onto it. You stare at him for a moment, then slowly reach to take a key, and you gasp when he slaps your hand away with his foot paw. "Hey! No touchie!" he barks, a hyena-like cackle bubbling out of him. "Bad Visitor! You haven't heard what your mission is!"
Mission? you echo him, before you can stop yourself, and he grins, seeing he's caught your interest. "Mmhm. See these things here?" He taps a key with his paw, and it makes a soft chime, like a tuning fork struck upon something. "These are Dante's Keys. Who's Dante? Hell if I know!" he shrieks with laughter, stamping on the keys and sending them scattering. "But that's not important. What is important is that you bring your key to the given place when the moon is completely full... Or something dumb like that," he giggles, and you scowl, staring at a key that has fallen into your circle of light. You don't touch it; you don't want another slap. "So. You got that? Just bring the key. Stuff will make sense after that. Probably!" Suddenly, there's a puff of smoke, and you cough, waving it away. When it clears, you blink in surprise to see the figure is gone, and the keys are gone, save for the one near you...
Of course, something still confuses you, among all the things that have confused you since you laid eyes upon that odd little cat person.
Weren't you just falling asleep a few moments ago?
You jerk awake with a start. Sunlight blinds your eyes for a moment, and you shut them tight against the light, groaning softly. Your head is spinning, but after a moment you manage to sit up and rub your eyes enough to get used to the world around you. Ah, right... you did fall asleep. Everything looks the same... what a weird dream, that was! You sigh and rub the back of your head, glancing down... wait, what's that? Is that... a key?
Hello, adventurers! Did you happen to find a key when you woke up this morning? How curious!
Curious indeed. Well, if you're not the adventuring type, I'd say just throw it out or keep it in
some old wooden box and forget all about it. But if you are the adventuring type... well,
then I'd do what that mangey little cat said, hmm?
There are currently three keys.
One of them is bronze and has a large [1] scratched into it, and it seems cold and heavy.
One of them is silver and has a large [4] scratched into it, and it looks tarnished green.
One of them is gold and has a large [8] scratched into it, but... it looks like it's actually pyrite?
Alright, now on to what this thing actually is.
I've been planning a User Hosted Event that's, in it's most basic form, a D&D style adventure/puzzle RP with a very simplistic battle system and many opportunities to earn fabulous prizes! To prevent this post from getting any more long-winded, I'm going to direct you to my concept post in the Suggestions forum. Didja read it?
Good!
Now, onto the forms.
The bronze key will lead to the EASY dungeon, located in Terrace Park.
The silver key will lead to the MEDIUM dungeon, located in The Slums.
The gold key will lead to the HARD dungeon, located in Basantha Shrine.
This thread is basically to check interest and also get some signups for those who want to participate. Let me first be clear that the dungeons are NOT FINISHED YET! Neither are the bosses of the dungeons, but Kyrit is working on those when she can~ But the dungeons will be finished at a hopefully fairly soon date, and I want to know who is interested so that I can PM them a week or so in advance of when we're going to start the RP! So post away, everyone! And if you have any questions, PM them to me, and I'll add them to the FAQ below for everyone else to see if I think it's necessary. That last question in the form is to see who read Cheshire's big spiel, but it was a pretty long one, so I'll still let you in if you don't answer correctly, haha.
Also, please ROLEPLAY your entry post! It's more fun that way!
F.A.Q.
Q: Do we need to have played D&D before to participate?
A: Absolutely not! This version of D&D is FAR less complicated than actual D&D, since everyone will have the same stats and the same power of weapons. You don't have to worry about that at all. Things will go smoothly once we start, that I can promise you, and I hope to make things as simple and fair as possible!
Q: Can we put two pets in one dungeon?
A: Yes, but their offense and defense dice will be as for one character, and their HP will be as for one character. For example, if one of your characters gets hit, the other gets hit. So... yes? But they'll have to act as one character always. I'm a little sketchy on this one but I don't see why you couldn't.
Q: Can we have more than one key?
A: Yes! You can put one pet in each dungeon.
