Erm...how common is it for characters to die exactly? *Nervous laugh*

I wouldn't get overly attached. Names are a bit much in some cases.

Depends. If you're working together, using your heads and thinking outside the box? Probably just half the group ; PHowever, when a goblin flips on the switches on a magic dampening/amplifying machine, sets it into overload to the point its about to blow... There is potential for total party wipeout.Not sure. It was a decent gap from what I remember, though.

Oh okay, fair enough then.

Plus my character's passive magic disruption may cause more than one major problem.

Maxim said
Oh...great...I guess I should probably plan a few backups then lol

Yeah that's more than a good idea :D

Everyone is a redshirt. Good luck. *thumbs up*

So character retention rate is very low...I'm totally going to die on the first mission aren't I?

About to finish my history, I don't have all of the knowledge so if anyone spots an inconsistency let me know.

Hey man, ask questions. You've got a Co-GM and an inner circle to help you out.

Nah he usually goes easy on us the first couple missions.

Post it up, we'll run through it, give it a good look over.

This. Entirely.

Icarus said

Yeah, I guess he does. And he won't let Kad and I go too crazy.

Me and Bravo had a nice PM discussion, so I'm pretty sure I'm going in the right direction.What exactly was happening over the 10K years that the Imperium was being reborn and dying again in the caverns though?

They were usually in an epic battle, one legion supporting the Lich's husband and wishing to be released, the other supporting the Lich and wishing to live again. Really, they were trapped in the cave, some people would come and become trapped too, but *shrugs*

The cavern was in a state of perpetual civil war between Maurie and her Husband Florence. Maurie was hoping to one day revive the Imperium, while Florence had resigned to their fate of being doomed to the caverns and sought death to end it. With the aid of Kouri's group Florence was defeated and the Imperium reborn. Also: Dean got a sick hammer.

Edit: Again. watch for Kad.

Azathoth said
Alright, I'll just gloss over that since it seems any history regarding it would be, by definition, redundant. Knowing, however, will impact my character.

I noticed your character is of the Imperium but only 38, were they in the cavern, or are they a new addition who decided to join?

not everyone wants to brag about being the oldest mortals ever.

It was a simple question. BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE.

[Athos]

Just to be curious, are the player deaths always caused (directly or indirectly) by the player's actions or are some deaths simply unavoidable?

[Tan S Lake]

Would it be possible to get a sampling of what the combat and magic looks like? I'm not exactly an experienced RPer, so it'd be good if I could get an idea~

Coupla other questions:

1) What's the speed of these RPs like? How often will we have the opportunity to post?
2) How will the missions be organized? How many players on a mission? And, will each mission have a separate thread?

Sometimes.

I almost had a character die from random rolls when a bunch of mining explosives we were unaware of went off without warning. *shrugs* Sometimes the dice are crappy, I lucked out, just barely, though.

Bluntly Athos?

Both.

Player actions, direct or otherwise, will definitely have an effect, such as when I had a Goblin of mine jump from an exploding keep with a dead body as his landing platform. He died. Thoroughly.

And then there are the rarer occasions when someone dies simply because the dice picks them out of a pool of victims :p and then puts them back in the pool and holds their head under the surface with a smile.

Now I just want this to be underway. Ugh I'm gonna be late to the mission selection too, got work all day tomorrow
