Ascend Sky Tower :: Floor 18 — In trouble D:
« on: March 26, 2012, 09:11:18 pm »

A short way off from town, an improbable tower stretches towards the sky. It is thin, but it does not collapse. It is white, round, and infinitly high. Clouds obscure the rest of the tower from view. At the top of the tower, the key to ultimate power lays waiting for an owner to claim it.

You are in a party of four at a time to the top.

Name: Rod Manly

Age: 33

Gender: M(?)

Appearance: From chiseled jawline (still bleeding!) to long, golden mane (greasy, tangled), to rippling muscles (not so much), Rod Manly fills thousands of absurd stereotypes with ease, which is good, because he'd have a hell of a time trying to fill the shoes of Conan or the dirt and blood foot-coating of Vanod, though not for lack of trying.

Background: Cursed with an unfortunate name and parents who somehow managed to be abusive, missing, and killed by bandits all at the same time, Rod has spent his life trying to meet the unreasonable expectations created by his name. He has failed to do so time and again, and the weight of a lifetime of failure weighs heavy on his mind. He is a broken man.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Name:Ire Fidel
Age:27
Gender:Female
Appearance: Ire is a tall woman with jet black hair that falls to shoulder length, tied in a braid. She has dark brown eyes that match her light complexion. She is garbed in a light grey cloak with leather armor underneath.
Background: Known to be a deviant person, Ire was brought up with knowledge of the law and it's rapport with the common people. Living her life as a lone vigilante in the prime cities, stopping would-be-muggers and thieves, she has learned most of her own skills from the people she tracks.

Ironically, she has never taken a life nor stolen without repaying back, in anyway whatsoever.

Due to all this, she is partly allergic to rope.

Background: Houbert was always a very simple man, raised by a very elegant family. He was the toughest boy around at his age when bandits attacked his parents. They killed then right before his very eyes, and he could do nothing. Since that day, he has vowed to never let any one die on his watch.

One thing, always post your character name, Attack bonus, and HP after each of your posts! From my short experience as GM of Twelve Days, it's rather hard to keep up >_<

(Or do I have to put at least 1 point into attack?)

Nope. You just don't get any bonuses to the d6 you roll.



The party of six enter the first floor! The 35-feet-across circular room has a beautifully designed mosaic floor of stone, and the arching walls are exquisite. Three large, round buttons lay in the mosaic. They are made of semi-precious stone. The first button, slightly north of the center of the room, is made of malachite. The second button, to the south-west of the center, is made of lapis lazuli. The third button is to the south-east of the center, is made of red coral.

Part of the mosaic resolves itself into the following text : FATALITY RATE 33 %

Ornate fountains line the walls.

Sir Kahn boldly marched up to the Lapis Lazuli button, but didn't press it just yet. "Allies! I believe we should each hit a button at the same time! What say you?" he asked pretentiously, one finger twirling a mustache end.

Rod Manly looked around the lobby. Crushing the whisper of doubt in the back of his mind, he strode toward the Red Coral button. "YES! The color of blood will never lead me astray! Pick, weaklings, we have things to kill!"

Spoiler: Ire Fidel (click to show/hide)
Ire looked around the room while concealing her identity by a sincere expression of joy due to their being here. She then looked at her companions, especially at the mustached man with leather armor. "I think it is safe if we try to examine where each button goes. We're in a place where we must presumably push a button. No doubt something will happen each time one is pushed. I'm not willing to risk that yet."

Without waiting for any reply, the cloaked woman stepped forward into the middle of the room and gazed at the mosaic. This reminded her of the old days, playing against con-men. She mused over the idea: 'Why give them a one third chance of getting it wrong when you can hide it in plain sight?'


Trap check! If impossible, other than admiring the aesthetic brilliance, go to the Lapis Lazuli button and check for anything strange there.

Do not press it yet.
