You're in Times Square, New York amidst a bustling crowd when every screen in sight proclaims that the game is ending in ten turns. What do you do?

This is an experimental dungeon-crawling game where the dungeon-crawling component is noninteractive. Rather than piloting your character through the dungeon, you will receive a report of how they fared: what foes they faced, what traps they sprung, what loot they found, and whether they lived to tell the tale.

Between dungeon trips, you can improve your character by selling unneeded items, buying equipment, and leveling up. You can also trade items with other players or form parties with them. But that's only if you survive the first...

Character Sheet
Name
Attitude: Your character's approach to dungeon-diving summed up in a single word. This will affect how they react to obstacles. Consider a rich hoard of treasure guarded by a terrifying dragon: a Foolhardy or Greedy character might charge the dragon at once, while a Cautious or Cowardly character would retreat even if they had a decent chance of winning.
Attributes: Divide 15 points between the following attributes: Strength, Constitution, Agility, Magic, and Luck. Each stat must be at least 1 and at most 5.
Class: Your character's profession or defining quality. Examples: Enchanter, Wrestler, Elf, Chronomancer.
Skill: Some special ability or trait your character has. Examples: Magic Resistance, Treasure Sense, Monster Identification.

Once a number of players have posted sheets, the first delve will begin.

The king has issued a proclamation: the Sacred Sword must be reclaimed! A brave hero must cross the Demon Lands and pluck it from atop the Tyrant's Tower—and quickly, before a month elapses and the Demon Lord's armies invade! But here's the interesting part: the person who delivers the sword will have one wish granted^*.

So, O brave hero: what's your claim to heroism, and what do you do?

^{*While supplies last. Wish must be legal in the Kingdom of Light. Additional restrictions may apply; check with your local baron for details.}

The rules:

1. To play, copy the list to your post.
2. When you copy the list, you must hurt one entry by 1 and heal another entry by 2.
3. You may post as often as you like, within reason (please don't spam the forum). Not like it'll do you any good.


The list:

Seriously: 10
Please free me from this personal hell: 10
I'm so tired: 10

You are stuck on a nine-hour bus ride with an indeterminate number of other people. How do you make things more tolerable?
