[OOC] Everdark: the Dungeon Monster RP (Closed)

[Dark Cloud]

I think now I'll cap the rp and change it to full. If anyone wishes to join I'll put them on a waitlist.

[Dark Cloud]

@Thinslayer If you'd like PM me and we can work together?

[Dark Cloud]

Anyways it's 2022 in 39 minutes, but I'm tired so good night. Happy New Year!

[Dark Light]

It’s been 2022 for over half a day :p

[SleepingSilence]

@Dark Cloud Okay. So here's the easy version. Thought I'd keep it simple, and to the point. For easy and quick editing, for when things inevitably change.

Let me know how it is, in its current state. And if it doesn't completely suck. Anyone else can mention whatever I might've missed. (Plus, others can @ me. For suggested changes and additions to its current state.)

For example, since there is no current dungeon map. I think it would benefit the RP immensely to loosely connect its dungeons' levels. So there isn't any serious in-fighting or problems with "precise locations" within the world. Like we're worried about what our readers think about certain characters' teleportation powers, like latter seasons of Game Of Thrones. With a IC explanation of "there's literally shortcuts frickin' everywhere, and there isn't anyone who knows precisely where every route goes." So hush.

But someone else might have a better suggestion. Hence "the work in progress".

My Work In Progress

Where Is Everyone?

Above The Everdark
No one.

In The Upper Levels
Hecate, Mortimer, Vinashy

In The Lower Levels
Dylirius, Phaid, Scri'erk, Sword, The Spore that Speaks, Yvaine, Zarroy

Location Unknown
Scraps, Sha'yirr

Important Note about traversing the Everdark: No one in or outside the Everdark, has a one-hundred percent complete and accurate map. For there’s too many secret entrances, shortcuts, passageways and tunnels that go into both the higher and lower levels. But it remains true that some ‘long-lived’ inhabitants know far more than others do.

What’s Happening Now?

In The Upper Levels
Hecate and Vinashy cross paths for the first time, in a long abandoned goblin territory. With the female wraith not seeming to get along with the vampire. Though Mortimer greets them soon after, and manages to convince the pair to get along, and travel with him to rebuild the Everdark.

In The Lower Levels
Zarroy was carrying a young goblin into the Slumbering Lantern. Since both were given a task from someone named Isatar, to find more survivors. Ending up finding Scri'erk's web, and where she lived within a large gash inside the building’s wall. Currently settling tensions about the onyx golem accidentally breaking some of the giant spider’s web. Leading to Scri'erk hungrily offering her assistance.
* * *
Yvain had left her barracks somewhere, and started finding the dead strung up in Scri’erk’s webs. Wandering into a graveyard campsite of her fellow dark elves, and ending up going into a nearby tunnel, where a living sword lays on the ground, next to two freshly-fallen bodies. However, things didn't start off well between wielder and weapon. As Yvain was struggling to forge a bond with the sentient steel.
* * *
Inside one of the larger caverns, now filled with many colorful mushrooms and flora. The Spore That Speaks is gardening there, and creating a forest from the numerous dead bodies. Until Dylirius had rushed in to quell his own self-inflicted hunger, and started interacting with him. Asking if the Spore needed anything, before the lesser demon moved on. But not before a rat-breathed Bullywug had approached them and asked Dylirius for some mind-altering substances.

Places In The Everdark (Pages Introduced.)

Slumbering Lantern (Page 1, Post 2): A small gathering of buildings in the lower levels. Where its main light sources seemed to invoke drowsiness. But the buildings were all ruined, and for the most part demolished, save for its namesake.

Notable Things (That Have Already Happened.)

• Our story begins where the unnamed massacre happened exactly six weeks prior. Leaving the countless bodies of adventurers and the dungeon’s occupants scattered about every level. With many living in the Everdark, still trying to pick up the pieces and locate other survivors within the wreckage.

And pardon (but feel free to point out) any mistakes in my writing. Wrote this at two in the morning.

[Searat]

Looks super good in my opinion, Sleeping.

[Tally Dor]

@sleepingsilence I approve

[Guy0fV4lor]

I'll try to have something up today

[Dark Cloud]

I'll get one out for you @Gentlemanvaultboy :P

I uh forgot about the dying elf.

[SleepingSilence]

Thanks guys. :3 (And I corrected a mistake I found upon rereading.)

@Dark Cloud Another thing I noticed, that could be edited whenever, is the character's tab post including the remaining accepted characters.

Off topic from the RP itself.

What's everyone's "New Year's Resolution"? (Mine admittedly kind of differs depending on information I don't have yet.) Though I'm generally trying to work out more at the Gym, and play more games on my Steam list.

The former will prove difficult. Since I might be housesitting for my folks in a few days. (But it's for several weeks, so I'll have my computer to post.) And I might substitute the gym for a nearby hiking trail park, if the weather isn't too miserable.

[Tally Dor]

I don't make resolutions because I never keep them. I did get myself a cardio bike for Christmas tho and I've been faithful to doing a mile a day. so I'm doing my best to be healthier.

[Searat]

Same resolution from last year.
Learn from last year's mistakes and be better.

[Searat]

@Dark Cloud
I think the interaction between Mort, Hecate, and Vinashy has wrapped up as I guess everyone is good with the plan and would want to look for the others. Think we can get a GM post while exploring the Everdark?
Also, how do we handle combat between PCs and hostile NPCs?

[Dark Cloud]

@Searat I'll think of something, and you handle it easy if you outpower or outnumber a hostile NPC.

[Tally Dor]

I am going to give Bird till tomorrow afternoon before Zarroy wanders off because he gets distracted by a firefly keeps looking for survivors! Yeah that's it!

[Birdboy]

@Tally Dor Sorry. I am super burnt out from work. I promise to reply soon!

[Tally Dor]

@Tally Dor Sorry. I am super burnt out from work. I promise to reply soon!

@Birdboy

I believe in you mate! Work can be a real drain so I can relate to that!

[Koya]

I know its full right now, so just queuing up just in case.

[Dark Cloud]

@Koya Feel free to drop a sheet in the meantime.

[Dark Cloud]

Also I will get to posting in about two hours, so no worries guys I'm not that lazy.
