Race : Dark elf ( purely because dwarfs dislike elves and I wanna see if I can make an elf they will learn to like )Lol. Sorry Mesor, already beat you to it. Introducing Vanya Carena, skulker elf:
There are no limits on race, but remember, you're dealing with dwarves here. Much like humans, they don't like anything that's not exactly like them.Not so. It's been accepted into canon that in Spearbreakers, everyone is welcome. Shoot, we have a human as a farmer, for crying out loud. :P And an elf (Vanya), and a gnome (OG!Frog) who's been cloned (Busta!Frog), a couple other humans, at least one half-dwarf, a bunch of Parasol employees... And they let human "mercenaries" (Ballpoint soldiers) build the fortress during Splint's reign as overseer.
Where are the cats? I thought I said Emong had three of them...
Where are the cats? I thought I said Emong had three of them...
Ekul Thomoipan (Dr.Propz), the Dwarven hunter
Location: Somewhere in the blood plains
Inventory: Cat leather boots& trousers & tunic, mug of wine, iron crossbow, quiver with 5 arrows
Animals tend to not last long around Speearbreakers anymore.Aye, they get thrown into the chambers with the Holistic Spawn, just for kicks. Or possibly good luck. I'd claim the latter while the former would be true, honestly.

I think I know where your cats went
Ready my claymore and prepare for something bad to happen. After all, this is Spearbreakers.1) a general sense of unease seems to rush through your group and everyone starts baring their weapons. you take your claymore, but drop it. as luck would have it, you dropped it in a deep puddle fulla' blood.
Draw my bow and place an arrow on the string, scan the area around me for any signs of danger.(Random.org hates you guys)
Look around, stick next to the Dark Elf(Luthian/Mesor)5) you look around and notice dark figures in the slimy, blood-soaked grass around you. sensing a fight, you stick to Luthian like a boss, but he doesn't seem to be very ready.
Drink from the mug with the crossbow in my other hand3) You start to choke a bit on the wine as it goes down. you're so drunk, you can't even drink anymore! after a few intense hacks you finally feel better. -1 HP
Emong will draw his knife and looks around, walking quickly towards the fortress...6) you draw your knife from it's sheath... not much to overshot on there... you move to the front of the group, wanting to be eaten first if something comes from the front, or have a good chance of outrunning everyone else if it came from the back.
Throw my mug hoping a spike hits the obsidian heartHe's a true Spearbreakers dwarf. Mugs as weaponry. I like.
I feel the need to say this now that I think about it: Spearbreakers is growing. Soon it shall consume all.... I agree.
"The gods of battle may have forsaken me, but I am a priest of the snow and ice!"... how much do you know about their anatomy?
Pray that the blood rain above the spawn freezes into jagged crimson hail.

Cripple? maybe. Incapacitate, though? That's the important thing.That's the idea. I can't really pierce their hearts very well without a weapon, so I've just gotta do what I can. Maybe a bloodsicle will get lucky and shatter the heart though.

6) the dagger goes right through the spawn, all the way around the world and imbeds itself into your back, piercing the heart. -100 HPCripple? maybe. Incapacitate, though? That's the important thing.That's the idea. I can't really pierce their hearts very well without a weapon, so I've just gotta do what I can. Maybe a bloodsicle will get lucky and shatter the heart though.
Animals tend to not last long around Speearbreakers anymore. Plus if there'd been ambushes by various monsters, then Id imagine they got eaten by said monsters. Or maybe they scamppered into the fort while your back was turned.We just arrived, but the point of the cats scampering ahead makes sense.
Draw dagger, do not get involved.... because.
(( Come on lol 1 damned turn and my hunter is already virtually defenseless. Why was he carrying his bow unstrung when we've been getting attacked all the time? ))
Run to Wropest and throw my dagger at a Hollistic spawn's chest/maw/wherever it's heart is. Keep Wropest from getting eaten.2)you run like the wind to Wropest, baring your dagger intimidatingly. Surprisingly, the spawn actually seem to be intimidated by you. smirking at your dominance over indomitable creatures, you decide to teach them a lesson. you throw your knife at the middle one as hard as you can. it goes spinning end over end... but the hilt bounces right off of the spawn and lands with a plop onto the ground at its feet. they seem confused about your intentions.
Mage! You take care of them and i'll take care of you! I doubt my pathetic spear will work so i'm just a shield.
Throw my mug hoping a spike hits the obsidian heart1) taking note of Idem and his wonderful knife throwing skills, you throw your mug at the spawn. unfortunately, you were never good at throwing anything ever. you throw it straight up in the air and it breaks on your head. 1) you fall to the ground in pain. -15 HP
"The gods of battle may have forsaken me, but I am a priest of the snow and ice!"4) you dropped down on your knees immediately and begin praying fervently. "Oh god of ice and snow and all things uncomfortably cold but not ice, I pray! Help us in our time of need!" the rain around you turns to blood snow and you know that you have reached the gods.
Pray that the blood rain above the spawn freezes into jagged crimson hail.
RUN AWAY! BACK TO THE GROUP!4) You retreat and use Luthian as a sheild against any attacks that come toward you.
Draw dagger, do not get involved.6) you draw your dagger and hit Emong on the head with it. he can find someone else to be his meatshield.
Attack the retreating dwarf (Emong)2)the first spawn runs toward the offending dwarf, but slips in the bloody puddles around him. 4) he appears to be uninjured though.
stand up and howl at the priest3) the second spawn stands up, but chokes on ice when it tries to howl.
Attach smelly Elf. (Idem)3) The smelly Elf has no problem dodging your attacks.
YAY! only 3 people have to die before im in!knowing spearbreakers...
((I'm betting most of you haven't done an RTD before and don't know how one works, aye? Judging by recent posts in the Spearbreaker's thread, it seems so...))I've done plenty of RtDs before, on both sides. They don't have a lot in common. Except the Minimalist ones, of course.
Emong will punch Luthian for stabbing him and try to locate some sort of...abandoned crossbow, maybe?...then head for cover.
I know what the hilt is.Emong will punch Luthian for stabbing him and try to locate some sort of...abandoned crossbow, maybe?...then head for cover.he didn't stab you, he hit you with the base of the hilt. (the non pointy part)
Stay close to the group and hope Fischer and co can kill the spawn before they kill usN/a) you stay close to the group. cool action bro.
Emong will punch Luthian for stabbing him and try to locate some sort of...abandoned crossbow, maybe?...then head for cover.6) you throw a punch at Luthian and he goes flying through the bloody trees until he is far out of sight. 2) you can't see it, but you get the feeling that he hit a tree so hard it's knocked over. Luthian -13 HP
Wropest scoops some of the blood and mud off the ground, and freezes it into a crude shiv (it's better than nothing, right). He sticks by the rest of the party, hoping that the three newcomers can kill the spawn before the spawn kill him.6) instead of reclaiming your sword, you decide to make a new one out of ice and mud, two materials renowned for their tremendous strength. Your reach into a puddle, pray once more and pull out a sword with a blade of frozen blood and a hilt of frozen mud. it's truly spectacular and you don't believe it will melt if it isn't broken.
Am I the only one scared by the dwarf on the right?(I'm pretty sure you mean Fischer when you talk, so that's what I'll use.)
Flee from the spawn attacking me.
Attempt to move around the fight then run like an elf being chased by a dragon being chased by an even bigger dragon to the fortress.6) lost in the woods, you choose a random direction. you soon reach the base of a wall. a little ways down is a guard tower, and you shout out to it.
Strike a sexy pose, then strike an ugly spawn.6) Draignean strikes a pose and all the Spawn go temporarily blind! he then runs through the second spawn with his pike 6+5=11) the spawn's heart is pierced and it dies with the image of draignean seared onto the back of its eyelids.
start my degree in proctology with my pike.4+5=9) Awl approaches the blinded spawn and does unspeakable things to it. you now know the true meaning of fear.
punt the spawn out into the wilderness3+100=103) Fischer kicks the final spawn and it explodes when it hits the tree. She turns to your group and tells you to follow her back to the fortress. She starts walking without looking back, but you can barely see her with Draignean's image fresh in your mind.

((Armok has a daughter.))
((Armok has a daughter.))
((I think to be honest it's more like Armok him/herself.))
Shout at them to stop shooting, explain I was with the migrants.
((Armok has a daughter.))
((I think to be honest it's more like Armok him/herself.))
((That's being a little too generous. There are undoubtedly stronger dwarven heroes. Just not in Spearbreakers.))
((I truly cannot wait to see The Master's reaction to these guys. He is the overseer, right?))
"So that's where my old sword went. You can keep it, I think I like this new one better."
Follow Fischer, and try to make a good impression on the local dwarves.
6) lost in the woods, you choose a random direction. you soon reach the base of a wall. a little ways down is a guard tower, and you shout out to it.((Objection, your honor! Since when did Spearbreakers dwarves hold such a strong hatred for elves? They're a bit more open-minded than that... Perhaps they simply thought he was an enemy?))
"HO! DWARVES!"
"ELF ELF ELF ELF KILLITKILLITKILLITKILLIT!" Was their response. bolts begin shooting at you.
((No, an elf must yell out "FUCK NATURE!" to be accepted.))
"Did she just make that spawn explode?!"6) you run ahead of Fischer and she raises her eyebrows, but doesn't stop you from going ahead. "Be careful," she said, "Some dwarves in spearbreakers tolerate other species, but our marksdwarves shoot at anything that moves."
Go ahead of the group. Aid Luthian on arrival and try and stop the slight bleeding.
Charm Fischer and tell her how wonderful she is, also ask where I could get some very strong alcohol3) you are smitten by Fischer for some reason and tell her that she is as beautiful as a cat sandwhich. She seems confused by this.
Shout at them to stop shooting, explain I was with the migrants.N/a) (see Idem Valan)
Run to Luthian to help!N/a) You want to run to Luthian, having the feeling you may have hurt him by punching him 30 feet into the woods, but you're not sure where he is. instead, you follow the soldiers from Spearbreakers.
Apologize profusely!
Diagnose wounds with novice diagnosis skill!
Act on diagnosis no matter what it is!
If Wropest asks for his claymore back, return it without stabbing him. If I don't roll badly.
"So that's where my old sword went. You can keep it, I think I like this new one better."N/a) (again, being too vague. sometimes I'll fill in the vague parts, but it's better for players to be as specific as possible.) You follow Fischer while whistling a traditional snow priest song. Emong offers your sword back to you, but you turn it down in favor of your new sword.
Follow Fischer, and try to make a good impression on the local dwarves.
You guys are going to have to forgive me for not knowing the layout of the fortress. I haven't taken a look at the save and probably won't, so if I say that something does or doesn't exist, then it does or doesn't exist.((>.> Fine, I'll draw up a quick sketch. You'll have to pardon my suckage. I'm a horrible artist and I'll be drawing from memory. Also: "dwarves in spearbreakers tolerate other species, but our marksdwarves shoot at anything that moves" Thank you.))
Don't count on a scaly, venomous, WINGED guy to die that easy, Zacen 8)
Don't count on a scaly, venomous, WINGED guy to die that easy, Zacen 8)
I do expect his pathing to fail and him to get stuck on a ledge.
You... you mean that you've never had or know the beauty of a cat sandwhich?5) After crying a bit when Fischer tells you that their are no cats in this fortress, dead or otherwise, you decide you need a deep, deep drink. You go off in search of the booze stockpile and find yourself in the dining room. mugs upon mugs upon mugs sit on the tables and dwarves bustle about, always adding more mugs to the piles of mugs that are on each table. No one seems to be taking mugs away though. two doors lead off from the dining room on the far end. You pick the one that has a barrel on the front.
Cry as I nurse my broken heart. Search for the booze stockpile
Go inside.1) you walk inside the fortress and immediately get taken by a large surge of dwarves all heading in one direction. you try to fight the surge, but find that you're taken by them all. you're pushed, shoved, and manipulated, surrounded by what seems like a hundred dwarves. finally, you reach the stairs unexpectedly and you tumble off the first step and go rolling down the spiral staircase. Finally you come to a stop at a landing and you groan, rubbing your sore head. -30 HP !!!Slight Bleeding!!!
"So this is the famed Spearbreakers. I wonder if they've got a spare pair of gloves; this sword's making my hands numb."3) you enter spearbreakers, but you're overwhealmed by the size of the place. you're not sure where to begin searching.
Enter the fortress and search for a pair of gloves.
I got you Luthian.5) you haul Luthian to his feet, scolding him for running off. "You can't go running off like that. We're Elves among dwarves! we have to be careful!" His reply is slurred. You sigh, helping him into the entryway of Spearbreakers. you find Wropest staring slackjawed at his surroundings and snap your finger in his face. he doesn't respond.
Let Luthian lean on me, blood loss ain't pretty.
Don't run off again, we aren't in the forest retreats where trees will help you. Plus the few that are here are telling me to fuck off.
"Thank you brother, maybe while we are here we can do something about the forests."N/a) (After Idem's turn.) "Thank you, Idem. you've always been like a brother to me." you say, slurring your words slightly from the concusion of the bolt. "I may need medical attention for this item stuck in my head."
Lean on Idem and head to the fortress.
"I wonder whats caused the forest to become so dark, surely it can not be just the dwarfs."
wonder why the GM rolled to see if I could walk. If I had been drinking a lot, maybe...
Prominent... prominent... That's about everyone... but me :PMake yourself prominent then.
Take a swig of sewer brew, head for the hospital
Ask the nearest dwarf which barrel houses the best tasting booze and drink straight from the barrel6) you grab a random skulker dwarf and demand to know the whereabouts of the finest ale in the booze stockpile. the skulker shyly points at the furthest barrels from the door. you throw the skulker to the ground and skip merrily along to the designated barrels. you find that they are in bleached white barrels with prominent red Xs on them, probably to keep the lesser dwarves from drinking from them.
Find a well and get water for Luthian. Then search for a hospital.3) you set Luthian down on a bench outside the office, intending to return with something for him to drink while also looking for the hospital. you start down the stairs and soon find yourself lost. when you finally find your way back to the staircase, you find Luthian gone.
"Stay out of trouble. I'm going to get you help."
"This place is just too big to be real... I'm gonna need directions."2) you start asking around for gloves, but no one seems willing to talk to you. is it the fact that you're a snowpriest, you wonder, or that you're a halfling? you frown at the injustice of it, but there's not much you can do.
Ask a random passerby where I can find gloves, and follow his directions.
Move around slowly looking for a fletcher or smith, if I discover one ask him to repair by bow so I can kill more enemies of the dwarfs1) you call out to Idem as he walks away, but he doesn't hear you. You have no plans of sitting idle in this new, exciting fortress. you want to explore, to get a new job in this fortress of opertunity, but first things come first. you need to fix your bow. You're reluctant to replace it. it's had a long journey and you spent a lot of money on it.
"I'll behave I'm just gonna find somebody to fix my bow. Thank you for your help."
Enter hospital, report injury, rest.Relevant side-note: I don't think you want to do that.
Give me one reason.Enter hospital, report injury, rest.Relevant side-note: I don't think you want to do that.
The hospital has a higher killcount than Fischer. Unless this is after Mitchewa's reform, then ignore me.Give me one reason.Enter hospital, report injury, rest.Relevant side-note: I don't think you want to do that.

I just can't believe nothing truly bad has happened yet, although, for an RTD, it does have a high level of people going to NPC's for medical help. usually they either ignore their wounds and kill themselves, or they try to fix themselves.Kinda balanced out by the quality of the hospital...

Because as a dwarven doctor, nobody minds when you freeze someone to death while trying to put some ice on a bruise. They just break off a few frozen fingers, use them as ice cubes in their drink, and declare you a genius.))

Ask for directions to a vendor who sells bows.5) The dwarf, stunned by your humble reaction, stutters for a moment before telling you that nothing is sold in this fortres, you just take what is necessary, not too much.
"Thats fine my good dwarf, a rather stupid vendor sold it to me and it was clearly defective, I'll reclaim my money and perhaps a large piece of his head once I get back to the town."
Ask a dwarf where water and the hospital is. And where I can get a proper spear.6) You ask a dwarf where the hospital is, and, to your surprise, he picks you right up and carries you there. no matter how much you kick and scream, he won't put you down. finally he throws you through a door (yes THROWS you through the door) and you hit the ground rolling, smashing through tables and beds until you hit the opposite wall, stunned.
Enter hospital, report injury, rest.You enter the hospital, but the chief medical dwarf seems preocupied. You instead report it to a nurse and lay down in a bed for some rest. 1) unfortunately, the bed is quite lumpy and thier no rest to get.
"No gloves... No love... Why'd I even come to this fortress in the first place. Well, I've heard of a hospital here. Maybe they could have use of my powers. I bet that they've never heard of the legendary snow-priest cure for bruises before! To the hospital! To !!SCIENCE!!"2) you make your beautiful speach and begin marching down the stairs with high knees, but you miss the level and, like the energizer bunny, you just keep going and going and going until you can't go no more. You find that you are now in the magma forges. close enough right?
Try to find directions to the hospital, and see if there's any way that I can help out there.
Ask somebody to carry me to the hospital3-2=1) you begin yelling and spewing chunks every where. you scream at every dwarf that comes near you to take you to the hospital, but for some reason, no one seems keen to do so. finally, one dwarf has had enough and begins to yell back at you. he picks you up off the ground and begins tugging you toward a garbage chute.
Do you see how pale and sickly my face is? Please, be a kind soul and escort my frail self to the hospital.
Talk sternly to this newcomer (Idem)You talk excedingly stern to the newcomer.
Ready spear in self defense.2) you take out your spear, but the doctor is having none of that. he slaps you then grabs your spear and throws it off to the side, berating you for threatening him. you start to explain how you destroyed everything, but he doesn't let you. He tells you to clean up the mess or suffer the consequences.
Dwarf, I was thrown in here. Attack him not me. And a friend of mine has been wounded on the way to the fortress, how much does it cost to get medical treatment?"
"By the gods, what is this place!? It's too hot to even breathe in here! If I don't leave soon, I'll be being treated at the hospital, not working in it!"5) walking back upstairs you notice the hospital this time, entering to see Idem getting yelled at by a medical dwarf. them elves always be gettin themselves into trouble.
Go back up the stairs and try to locate the hospital by following the sounds of screaming patients.
Go to the exit closest to where the caravan is then ask the dwatfs guarding it to escort me, go to the caracan and search it and the bodies.3) you start searching for an exit, but, being an elf, you end up getting lost in the residential district. every turn you take just leads you to another door-lined hallway. you start opening doors at one point, finding dust covered rooms that seem to have been abandoned for years. You keep your head for awhile, but turn after turn you find hallways after hallways. you never could've concieved that Spearbreakers was this big.
Rest.Slight Bleeding Healed!
Punch the dwarf and try getting away4-2=2)You struggle, but ultimately you can't shake the grip of the dwarf. finally he reaches the garbage chute and tosses you in. you fall fast and you can see the magma at the bottom. The walls are rushing by quickly.
Wait to be diagnosed.
Hope someone brings mealcohol.water
Just like a dwarf!
Since when?Wait to be diagnosed.You know it will be this, and not what you wish. Simply because we all know driinking booze while laying down is fatal for dwarves.

Anyways, I said "hope."
"Looks like I showed up just in time."
Dig the Chief Medical Dwarf out of the mugs and apply my freezing cold hands to any cuts and bruises he may have.
A lag of mugs?
Wait to be diagnosed.4) you wait. Like a boss. no one comes to diagnose you however. They must be hauling things
Hope someone brings me alcohol.
"Looks like I showed up just in time."6) Having seen the last location of the Chief of medics go down under the hail of mugs you leap to his rescue, swimming through the sea of mugs as if they're water. you arrive at the location you believe that the CMD went down and take a deep breath before diving down to rescue him.
Dig the Chief Medical Dwarf out of the mugs and apply my freezing cold hands to any cuts and bruises he may have.
Help Wwolin!6) you start swimming toward Wropest, helping him to search for the CMD. you follow them out to the central staircase and help perform resusitation.
Try to slow my descent by sticking out my arms and legs, or what you'd call a wall-slide, while screaming help5-2=3) In your sick haze you stick out your hands and feet to slow your descent, but the walls fly by so fast that it threatens to shear your apendages off. 5) you yank back your hands and feet before much damage is done though. It's too late to do anything now anyway. you plunk down into the lava, a scream on your lips left un uttered as your body burns away.
Repeat previous turn.2) you try to get out of this... repeating hallway. this... residential district limbo, by doing the true escape route: North, West, South, West. you do this, but you don't get anywhere.
What an anticlimactic death, I really wanted to stab a spawn with an arrow.I wasn't really planning for this to be that long of an RTD
I'm still kinda new to an RTD, so is it possible for me to get a second turn after everybody?
*taps areas above eyes and sternum in quick succession*
Nederle. It is time.
Scythes in hand, Zedo stalks toward the fortress.
Get out of bed, find something interesting and mildly productive to do. Oh, and safe-ish.5) you get out of bed and find something mildly interesting to do. you're so good at being a dwarf. suddenly, in the middle of a hallway far away from anything else while you're hauling stones, a giant snake comes out and bares it's fangs at you!
Find the gate.2) you don't find the gate ;-_-
Read paper. Get out of this evil hospital and head to dining room.(you're not in the dining room. I'd appreciate it if you always checked your stats before posting an action.)
Take the paper when Idem finishes reading it. Ask the Chief Medical Dwarf about getting a job in the hospital.you read. you ask. nope. no vacancies. you must go on to have adventures!
Read paper. Get out of this evil hospital and head to dining room.[/[/i][/b]glow]sorry didn't notice
I said HEAD to the dining room. I know I wasn't in it. That is why I said that.
Bah, at first I thought this thread was SPELLbreakers and was angry at Errol...I was about to send him ragemail...^ This.
As it is, I'm sorry to say I missed this one. :(
I unfortunately don't know anything about how a RTD works, or I might try taking it over just to do it - it doesn't seem like something that would suck up too much of your time... but I have absolutely zero experience here. I'm not the right choice for the job.I should really update the library soon >_<
