THEY SAY the world ended when they clawed the first chunks of Darkstone out the belly of the earth. There's magic in those rocks, no doubt. Something more then this world, something other. but it's worth it's weight in gold, multiplied by a dozen. - useful? Sure. Dangerous? oh, yeah. A whole bunch more then anyone was expecting.

The monsters that burst forth into the mines and overran the towns that harbored it certainly made it seem like the end days, alright. Everyone knows the story of the town of Brimstone, for example. They loved their Darkstone there. Collected a whole bunch of it, all in one place. Made a pretty little light show when it went up.

Now Brimstone's just a crater crawling with mutants and monsters and worse.

But that's just how things work out here in the wild west. You won't meet the same fate, of course. There's a fortune to be made out in these hills and down in the depths of those mines, and by damn are you ready to face down the darkness.

It's all in a day's work, after all.

Are you ready to be thrown into a horrific dungeon filled with nightmares?

^{Yay! Then let's begin.}

+ The Party +

Anyone can make a character. The maximum party size is 5-6 (meaning up to six characters act at once), and the minimum is 2. Each round every character must be accounted for.

The person who created the character gets priority to determine their action. However, if the player does not reply for 4 days, another player may choose the action for that character that round.

After an adventure, players can choose to leave their characters in town if they wish to skip out on the next mission. Characters left behind this way do not gain XP or loot, but will always be safe from danger.

Character Sheet

Just whack this little thing down if some slots are open, or a character has recently died. You can change it as you like so long as this information is there and readable.

>They call me....[NAME]
>I'm [MALE/FEMALE]
>I look like...[APPEARANCE: Hair color/length, eye color, skin color, clothing, noticable features]
>I am a [CLASS: see below]

Classes

Lawman: I'm the law in these parts. I know my way around a pistol and a knife. I'm sound in body and in mind, you have to be to keep the peace out here.

U.S Marshal: I uphold the law. My chosen firearm is the shotgun, and it packs a punch. I can go toe to toe with any outlaw if needbe, though I'm a little bit more delicate then my Lawman colleague.

Rancher: My hunting rifle is my life. I'm used to livin' out here in the wastes, though I'm a little delicate to the troubles that have come to these lands. I shoot: you die, I shoot somemore. It's a good life.

Gunslinger: I'm the fastest draw in the west. My bullets can cleave a beastie in two before it gets a chance to blink, but I don't take kindly to them returning the favor. I'm far better at range then going toe-to-toe.

Bandito: It's a wild world and I'm the wild card. My mind aint too sound but I got more gumption then you can shake a stick at. Cross me and you better close your eyes and pray.

Scout: I can detect danger a mile away. I move quickly and my presence can avert danger. I am skilled in all forms of combat, though my body and mind are somewhat weak.

Piano Player / Saloon Girl: My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. My charm eases them war wounds and mental scars right offa you. I'm light on my feet but I need light weapons to boot. My body might be weak but I got a strong head on my shoulders. I'm good in all combat situations.

Priest / Nun: My faith leads me onwards. I can heal or bring retribution to my foes, particularly the undead. I am sound of both body and mind, though I abhore guns... mostly.

[Mae]

Example Character Sheet:

>They call me Sam, the muscle man. I'm male, obviously. I have tan skin, short blonde shaggy hair and green eyes. I like to wander around in yellow galoshes and black waders with red suspenders. I have a fantastic curly mustache and I am a Lawman.

>They call me Poppy. I'm female. I look like your run of the mill girls-next-door type dame. I have long blonde curly hair in an updo, blue eyes, pale skin, and I love my fur coat and golden dress. I am a Bandito.

>My name is Johnny Stellar. I'm a dude. I'm tall, with knee-length black hair, pale skin and piercing red eyes. I wear a trench coat with red high heels and I have a scraggly neck beard. I am a Piano Player.

[Duthguy]

> I'm known as Dan. I'm a guy. I'm bald and have a scar over my left eye, which just like the right one is brown. i'm black. I wear a brown cowboy hat with an eagle feather attached to it along with a blue shirt and jeans as well as black boots. I work as a rancher.

@Duthguy

Is this Dan?

>Yes/No, actually he...

(Note: Please either confirm Dan's appearance or let me know if you'd like anything about him changed before he is FINALISED FOREVER MORE.)

DAN prepares himself for the adventure ahead. On a whim, he decides to bring his LUCKY DICE with him wherever he goes. He looks in his sidebag: What to pack?

Dan packs..._{(Pick one)}

>BANDAGES, to heal wounds during the journey ahead.
>WHISKEY, to steal himself against the horrors that await him.
>DYNAMITE, to throw at them b*stards when they rear their ugly heads.

Now, Dan aint just any old Rancher. He's got one signature trick to see him out of trouble...

>Home Remedies: Heal yourself or an adjacent adventurer, gain a little xp.
>Aim and Fire: Once a round, if you miss a shot and there is no enemy next to you, you may choose to take the shot a second time.
>Swing your Rifle: When you have a two-handed gun equipped, you may automatically hit every adjacent enemy to you as a free attack.

@DeadBeatWalking

Is this Hawkeye Harold?

>Yes/No, actually he...

(Note: Please either confirm Hawk-Eye Harold's appearance or let me know if you'd like anything about him changed before he is FINALISED FOREVER MORE.)

HAWKEYE HAROLD knows a few things about the world, and one thing he knows is he'll never be anywhere without his TRUSTY PIPE*. He looks in his sidebag: What to pack?

Hawkeye Harold packs..._{(Pick one)}

>BANDAGES, to heal wounds during the journey ahead.
>WHISKEY, to steal himself against the horrors that await him.

Now, Hawkeye Harold didn't get his name for nothin'. He got one signature trick up his sleeve that he's known for..._{(Pick one)}

>Quickdraw: Anytime a new group of enemies appear, and you have one hand free, you may immediately make a free attack against them.
>Reload: Refill your gun with Gunslinger-only bullets (note: Gunslingers get six special bullets that deal increased damage, this allows you to reload them if you run out. Not trying to influence you, just thought I should clarify what this means.)
>Pistol Fanning: If you have one hand free, double the number of shot you get with a single handed weapon for one attack. May be used once a round.

(note: One hand free means you are not dual-wielding or using a two handed weapon)

[Duthguy]

@Mae No, actually he lacks the scar over the left eye. Also how did you get that text to be green I copied the color code [ color=cccccc], but as you can see that didn't work.

Babie's First Mission: A Fistful of Darkstone

^{Note: In future, Missions will be voted on as a group, along with difficulty. This is an introductory mission.}

You hear a rumour on the wind about an abandoned mine north of town that still has some juice in it. Perhaps you can scrape together a posse and find this darkstone deposit...

Reward: 25 XP and 1-3 Darkstone (determined randomly) per player.

Objective, Failure Condition

The Objective

To find the deposit you must uncover two clues: the first points you on the right track, and the second is the actual deposit itself!

But be warned: dangerous creatures lurk in the darkness, and the dark itself seems alive...

IF YOU FAIL:

Nothing bad happens, apart from a wounded pride.

Into the Mine!

Trap's running a little late while ze preps zer dress. Hawkeye Harold and Dan decide to do a little scouting while they wait, and peek into the mine...

>Who is holding the lantern, Hawkeye Harold or Dan?
^{At any point you may give the lantern to another player.}

Round 1

Hawkeye Harold can move 4 this turn.
Dan can move 3 this turn.
Trap can move 1+1 this turn. Normally this would mean ze recovers a determination, but ze is currently at max determination already.

Meanwhile....

The darkness in the mine sleeps soundly.

Actions:
You may always move if you have movement available.

>SCAVENGE: Each map tile can be scavenged once. Scavenging successfully can yield up to three results. If you scavenge, you cannot explore the mine this round.
>EXPLORE THE MINE: At the end of each map tile is an arrow. When standing on this arrow, you may explore into the next room, if you have not done another action this turn. You will immediately see the layout of the next room. If you explore, at the end of the round, a discovery will be revealed... aka what is in that room.
Note: The "arrow" map tiles count effects from both rooms.

[Little Bill]

>Hawkeye is not holding the lantern
>Move left & Scavenge
>Load one Dead Eye Bullet

[Gutshot]

>BANDAGES
>Knockout punch

>Ze will move right ahead, confident and unaware of Zem surroundings, in order EXPLORE THE MINES.

[Mae]

Note: In future each tile is mapped with a number, so when you use your movement, you may pick exactly where you'd like to go. e.g:

>Move Bob the Bucket to square 12.

@DeadBeatWalking
1/3 Scavenges successful. Spend 1 or 2 Determination to reroll 1 or 2 failed attempts?

Pah! You're practically a celebrity. Like you'll settle for standing in the entrance!

You concentrate hard and now have 6+1 movement. You have spent 2 already, so you have 5 movement left.

If you would like to explore the mine, are you moving to square 13?

(You will still have some movement left afterwards if you would like to enter the new room.)
