Dungeons and Dragons - Taking of Stethos

[Lazer Yoshi]

Stethos, a demonic paladin loyal to Rihzu the Dragonlord, has began his reign as leader of the town of Kannibal. A town of bloodthirsty monsters and hell-driven townspeople, Kannibal has been known as "Hell in Eberron" ever since Eberron had become part of this planet.

A band of Warriors, Spellcasters, and other types of combatants now gather their skills and travel to Kannibal to be freed of slavery and earn their freedom by saving Eberron. Will they accomplish this mission? Or shall they rot in the area in which they were incapitated?

So, rather it be your Frost Axe or Scepter of Holiness, be prepared to risk your life day in and day out.

[spoiler=NOTE!]We will not play with dice(would be kinda hard, huh?). You will control the characters and what they use. We will not use stats, but when you choose a race or class, you will excell in certain attributes. For example, Barbarians excell in lasting long in a fight and using melee weapons. However, Spellcasters have incredible wisdom, intelligence, and abilities of casting magic.

[spoiler=Rules]

1. DEFINETELY no god-modding. Seriously, it just ruins the game. You don't have to lose, but make the battle worth-while. Being invincible is boring!

2. Don't like what you have as weapons / spells / etc? Do not worry. After you finish a quest, you are given a few new items to use. You can use them, or trade for other items with other users.

3. Be nice and play fair.

4. Even if you have chosen an evil alignment, you must still fight with the heroes to defeat Stethos.

5. I am technically the Dungeon Master. What I say will usually go as said. If you think what I have done as the Dungeon Master is unfair, please let me know! I wish to be a better player if possible.

6. If you have any other concerns, let me know.

Zeke Tranis has wonderful spells and can do great with brainwashing the pure evil to do what he wants to do. However, his health and dexterity could use some work.

Xaviera Morningwrath is good with spellcasting and occasionly melee weapons, but you cannot unlock doors to save your life.

Areena Brightstar has great spells and intellgence / wisdom. However, your strength and defense leave you in the back of the pack.

 

 

 

Now time for the first quest...

[spoiler=Undead Man Walking]

An old, cripped man with a small cane comes walking towards your group while you are chatting about recent events. He points in the air and shouts, "You'll never get me, Gyjen! Leave me be!" Then you see a young, pretty woman run towards the elderly man.

Embarassed, she apologizes. "I'm terribly sorry. My grandfather has been having hallucinations ever since someone he calls 'Gyjen' put his hand onto his arm and ran off into The Everdark Cave."

You ask her if it would be possible to talk to this "Gyjen", and see what is really happening.

"If you wish. Everdark Cave is, you know, dark. Take this latern so will be able to see. My grandfather is a great psychic, so what he could be saying is completley true. Go forth now."

You and your group walk Everdark Cave, guarded by a small emerald dragon!

 

 

[spoiler=Objectives]

1. Kill the small dragon guarding Everdark Cave.

2. Find this Gyjen and see what exactly is happening.

 

 

GO!

[Reaper of Shadows]

Areena paused, before motioning the others to follow. Currently the dragon was dozing, but if anyone made any sudden movements it would wake up. "This raises a problem," she said to the group. "We don't want the dragon to wake up. Lets try to somehow go around it." Her group disagreed. "Fighting would not be the wisest move," she said to them. "But if you insist. Aketsu, you attack first since your the strongest. Zeke, Xaviera, and I will cover you from here." Zeke crept closer, but his armor rattle too loudly. The dragon woke up and attacked!

 

OOC: just thought i'd get everything started

[Drunken Fist]

OOC: Would I be able to change to a Great Sword???

 

Aketsu looked around

"This is bad" he drew his sword and ran at the dragon he knew it was'nt the smartest idea but its better than nothing he knew he had to provide a distraction if that dragon made it to the casters it would be bad he raised his sword and swung down hard and smacked into the dragon it made a cut mark but he realised it didn't go to deep

"Damn his armour is tough"

[Lazer Yoshi]

OoC: Of course. You can also pick up new items after each quest.

IC:

Silvan stepped back and pulled out his Psi Crossbow, loading an Acid Bolt. Looking through the sight, Silvan pulled the trigger, and the bolt went right through the dragon's eye. It screamed in anger while waving around it's arms. It knocked Aketsu to the ground, dealing a few minor injuries. With it's one able eye, it charged at Silvan!

"Everybody, get back! This son of a b**** isn't gonna die so easily. I can tell..." Silvan ran behind a rock, ready for almost anything that could possibly happen.

[Skarlet]

Xaviera took aim with her Morningstar and swung the vicious weapon down toward the head of the dragon. It was formidable opponent, but with the might of St. Cuthberd on her side how could she fail. She roared "For St. Cuthberd!"

"Crush it's skull, hit it with an inflicting spell!" she thought to her self. Confident in the ability she had been gifted with.

[Lazer Yoshi]

The poor dragon drops to the dirt, bleeding immensely. The dragon has been defeated. However, before it hits the ground, it lets out a loud shriek! "RIIIIIIIAHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"

Inside from the cave you hear shouting and yelling, and you see some fires starting!

Silvan Muvek takes out his burning tonfas and looks towards Xaviera. "On my go, we rush in, blow the fires out, and start hacking. Or should you rush in and I use my Psi Crossbow, or vice versa...Help me out here."

[.Legend]

OoC: My bad that ime late

Zeke came out of the silence. He saw the entire thing. he cleanched his ears from the screaching since, since his birth his eares have been very sensative. "Need some help?" Zeke asked out of curiosity. He too has been asked for help a while after they have. Zeke walked forward. "Ime Zeke."

[Lazer Yoshi]

Silvan looked over at Zeke, then back at the cave. "Sure. Use spells, or a bow, or basically something that can harm at a range."

Then 2 Half Orc/Ogre Knights run out from their cave! They have curved swords that seemed to have been dipped in blood recently. "Everybody, fire now!" Silvan used his Crossbow Tracking Spell, which allowed the bolts he fired to track enemies and hit them almost no matter what. As he fired a Psi bolt, one of the Half Orcs fell to the ground. Silvan felt confident, but the evil creature was lifted into the air, and its wounds dissapeared. He had been fully healed!

[.Legend]

Zeke smiled. "I think I know what to do..." Zeke began too mouth words. "Inte ruekin methos rinden" He also mouthed some unpronouncable words. The goblins suddenly dropped their weopons and stood still, hands at their sides. "I can do much now. I have too mouth the words too keep them still." He said continueing too moutth the words.

[Skarlet]

Drawing a Javalin with a focused look on her face. Xaviera hurled her Javalin with Brutal intencity.

"Retribution for those you have wronged!" she bellowed as a Javalin flew through the air, the weapon sunk deep into the flesh of the dazed goblin. Xaviera was proud of herself, but she was more concerned with destroying the remainder of the goblins and exacting vengence for the people they had wronged. St. Cuthberd would smile on her for this act, and she aimed only to please the Lord of Retribution.

[Drunken Fist]

"D$MN" Aketsu stood

"You wanna mess with me" he stretched before sprinting at on of the orcs and swinging his sword hard it was one of his bad traits he has a short fuse and that dragon set it off he yelled out as his sword connected

"Aghhhhhhhh, die foul being" he smiled as he finished but he wasn't sure if it was dead after seeing one get up aftert Silvan's attack.

[Spartan919]

OoC: Sorry I'm late, I'll join in now.

 

IC: Ierfried looked at the two dead orc/ogres. He would have helped, but he was confident in his companions abilities. He looked into the cave and saw the fires. This was one of those moments where he wished he could use magic; that would make it a lot easier. No matter. He drew his engraved long sword, and prepared to rush into the cave.

[Reaper of Shadows]

OOC: sorry ive been gone

 

Areena rushed into the cave, cautiously. To her, it had seemed that the dragon was too easy to take down. She looked around the darkened cave, being able to see perfectly becuase she was an elf. "Lets go guys," she said before moving forward even more cautiously. Because she could see, she decided to take point. The group huddled together and slowly began making thier way into the cave, deeper and deeper. It got even more dark and creepy the further they went in so Areena turned around to advise them to be more cautious. As soon a she turned around, a dark hideos creature jumped out and took a swipe at her back. She managed to dodge most of the blow, but the attack left a long scratch on her back. "Stay alert," she shouted to everyone, before turning back around to confront the creature, but it was gone, once again hidden in the shadows.

[Skarlet]

Having seen the attack, the hot-headed Xaviara seemed enraged. Where did that thing go? She wanted to cave it's skull in! Quickly she surveyed the area, morningstar in hand, awaiting the return of the attacking creature. But still she moved on with the group, it would do them no good to get seperated, that's how people die in these sorts of places.

"There could be a lot of those things, we'd best be careful. We should have our two strongest warriors on either side of the group, a well guarded set up. With a secondary combatant like me in the center. I think, if we can work with that, then we'll be relatively invulnerable to attacks.

[Spartan919]

Ierfried listened to Xaviara, and nodded. "That seems to be a good strategy," he said. "I'll take one edge, and someone else can take the other." He looked at the group, almost as if he was asking them if it was okay. Then he shook his head, muttered under his breath, and moved off to her left side. "Alright, I'm ready Xaviara. Who'll take your other side?" he asked the group. He looked at the others, his eyes challenging anyone to not step up.

[Lazer Yoshi]

Silvan fires a couple Psychic Bolts, rendering some half-orces into piles of ash. Finally, the last one has been defeated, and the path looked pretty clear.

"Alright, guys. Pull out a melee weapon." Silvan took out his burning tonfas, the orange glow giving warmth to his team. It was starting to get dark out, so perhaps the tonfas could also act as torches.

"I'll be in the front of the pack, and the rest of you can do whatever you please. We gotta find this guy. If anyone else has any other ideas, please tell so."
