Attack Narration

Shirk rushed forward, sword drawn, shield at the ready, he charged at the infected maid. Swinging down hard with the rusted sword he caught her acrossed the shoulder as she jumped back,Using Shirk's initial charge as cover, Zach charged the infected from behind, dagger at the ready, he rammed it into her back and twisted, the maid let out a terrible scream as it swung around, throwing Zach to the side, Shirk caught him before he could hit anything. Fras gave her a devilish grin, spinning the cylander of his revolver with fresh rounds, and opened fire, peppering her with all 6 shots. The maid clawed at the bulletwounds.

Infected Maid is now wounded.

With a terrible hiss, the maid charges at Zach, her eyes flared up, blades at the ready.
-Defense Phase, Shirk's Move (Knights have an ability that can change an opponent's target, this can be RP'ed and does not need to be sent to the GM)-

Defense Phase

Shirk's massive being came between the rogue and his attacker, the maid let out a terrible shriek as her claws scraped acrossed Shirk's shield, the wolf forced her back, but not before taking a spike through the shoulder, (Shirk loses 3 health)

End Defense Phase.

Begin 2nd attack Phase.

(Do you guys like the order of this? Or would you prefer a more freeform attack RP?)

Posted at

(I like this, it's simple and straightforward. A more freeform style might get confusing. The only thing I don't like so far is not knowing how much damage we did with our attacks.)

With a grunt of pain I charge at the woman a second time.

"The best way to blind your enemy," I say slyly, "is with their own fury. Shirk, keep Blade Bitch here distracted a bit more, I have something to do." I then melt into the darkness.
"Where are you, filth?!?!" Screams the infected maiden, "I will purge you of all that you are, I will have a clean domain! Get back here!" I chuckle in the shadows, "Shirker, do your thing."

Green pushed himself up off the ground stiffly. "Damn rigor mortis catching up to me," he said working his joints. Small cracks could be heard. "Thanks for carrying me" Green said as he looked up to see a fight sence. "You guys started without me? No fiar taking all the glory," he said with a grin as he pulled out his revolers and preceeded to enter the battle.

Attack Narration Two

The maid let out a horrible shriek as she she noticed Green getting to his feet, "You brought the dead into my abode!? Such filth will not be tolerated!" more spikes emerged from the crazed elven woman, her eyes focused on the group, a bit of shock passed through them, as Shirk's shield caught her. The rusted sheet of metal bashed into her form knocking her blades to the sides, with a mighty swing, Shirk brought his blade up into the maid's side, slicing off several of the spikes and lodging his blade into her,(9 Damage) The shadows crept around the blade, twisting about it, Shirk let go of it, jumping back. "Time to die bitch!" Zach shouted, but instead faded into teh shadows, Shirk shot him a stunned stare, Green however spent no time hesitating, he span both his revolver's cylanders, and aimed, opening fire on the infected maid, she blocked his first cylander. But Shirk made sure that the second wasn't, using Shirk's shield as a spring board, Green launched himself behind the infected maid, opening fire into her back (11 damage)
Fras slapped his revolver in annoyance, he let out a sigh aiming the gun at the maid, he opened fire, all six rounds spirallying towards the maid. (10 damage) As the bullets riddled the maid, she staggered back, the shadows deterirating, blood splattering upon the floor as the carcass that remained of the once pretty maid hit the ground. Shirk let out an irriated grunt as he nursed his shoulder wound. "Too easy." he muttered, Zach appeared out of the shadows and sliced off the maid's hand, and proceeded to poke her corpse with it. "Is that neccisary?" the massive wolf growled, the rogue looked up as if he was doing the most rightous thing around. "Yes" he said "Yes it is."
"They're just rats." Fras cut in, "I just ate one."
"I'll have my revenge for him" Zach continued to poke the corpse with it's own hand.

"Whats that?" Green muttered, looking at the maid's remains, he bent down and pushed the opening of her shirt aside, a silvery pendant hung around her neck.


Green found: Silver Locket

(Looting number:3)
"Good of you to finally join us." I grumble, turning to the undead soldier. "But I swear to the gods next time you do that I'm letting the elf eat you."

Green! You're back, finally! You just missed this epic battle, and this cute girl appeared, then she became a beast, and charged at us with claws, then I stabbed her, then I got called in for over-using my dissapearing gift, then I came back, then since I didn't have a stick I poked her dead body with her claws! So, what did you do?

((looting number 6))

Green gave Shirk a nod and then turned to Zack. "That sounds like an eventful day my friend. I just had to deal with my joints freezing up on me," he said with a laugh.

(The number was 7, but both Same and Mett got it. So I'm going to randomly roll a 10 sided dice- I rolled a 1.)

Narration 4

Shirk bent down and claimed his prize of a silverlocket, having rolled the pair of dice Green kept in his pants pocket. With a grunt he stood back up. He could hear clapping noises from down the tunnel, a man in a white suit emerged. "Bravo." he muttered walking foward, a white fedora hanging over his eyes, he looked over the rest of the team. "Bravo indeed." with a smirk.

"Who the hell are you?" Fras grumbled, cleaning his revolver with his sleeve.

"My names not important." the man tilted his head to the side, "As I do not see how knowing it would help you in the slightest. But I will answer a question for you." he turned and looked at Zach, "The city ahead is shadow free." he grinned, "You can rest assured of that."

"How can we trust you?" Zach began, the man put a finger to his lips.

"You can take my word for it, or you c an slaugther innocent people out of paranoia, your choice really." the man chuckled walking back into the darkness before dissapearing.

Travel Sequence

You can now travel down the tunnel at your own leisure, however you will not emerge from the tunnel until the next narration, nor will any obtainable items appear. (Think of it like an airship with no clickly to go places feature)

Wait, was that…the boss? I've been doing what he said through the lessers, but…the boss? Is that the master thief? Oh well, I guess we should do something to pass the time…oh, I know! Let's tell tales of our past exploits of stealing and killing! That's always fun!

"The BOY wants to talk about killing! What could you possibly know about killing? How many men have you killed? My guess is none."

(Man my character is turning out way diffrent than I originaly intended. Though I must say I like when my characters take a life of their own like this.)

Oh no, I said killing cause that's what you guys probably do in your adventures, I'm just stealing things! What happened to the times heros would gladly tell children about their great adventures and dangerous exploits? And what happened to the time they kept a less close watch on their silver when a rouge is around? Come on Shirker, what was your greatest adventure? And Green, can you tell them about that one time with the brick-layers? That was a funny adventure!

Posted at

I check that my treasure is still safely in my possesion.
"My greatest adventure huh?" My eyes glaze over as I recall days long past. "I suppose that would be the time Vitious sold me as a slave…then helped me break out the next day. Now that's a real friend for you. That bastard's gotten me nearly killed at least a hundred times, and every time he would just laugh it off and wear that psychotic smile of his. I wonder what ever happened to him."

(On another note, how much exp did we get from our fight?)

"Brick-layers?" Green said working his stiff shoulder after the on story was done. "Are you talking about the time we visited that village were the tradition was if your son or daughter died before marrage you married them to another single dead person? Cause how I remember it it wasn't funny," Green said seriously. "I woke up in a mausoleum while they were still building it. Apparently I caught the poor young girl's parents eye and they just HAD to have me for a son in law. I nearly scared the brick-layers working on the darn thing to death. Guess it would of been funny from someone not directly involved in it," he said.

Narration 5

Party Gains: 32 experience each.

As the group chatted about their past deeds, all but Fras that is, they moved through the tunnels, the smell of soap still lingering from the infected Maid's clean obsession. Several shadows moved along the walls, when they turned to look, they found them to be simply the shadows of rodents. Nothing more.

Shirk sniffed the air, he could smell french fries, burgers and other fast foods, he began to drool slightly, some of it dripping onto Zach's head, who adjusted his top hat. "Ew…" he muttered, Shirk shot him a shut up glare and the rogue fell silent. Green moved forward, adjusting his revolvers, his glazed over eyes searching. "These old bones aren't ment for walking." He muttered.
"You're not old" Shirk growled, "By the smell of you, you haven't been dead that terribly long."
"Shows what you know." Green muttered.
A stream of light shot down from the ceiling, coming from an open manhole, a soldier kneeled down next to it, she had cat ears, they twitched a bit. "Mr. Z said you'd be comin" she said in a cheery voice.

"Mr. Z?" Green asked, his head tilted to the side, "Who's that?"

"He's the boss, but we can't talk now, ya need to get out of that sewer."

The group made their way out, Green first, followed by Zach, Shirk, and then a grumbling Fras still annoyed that he lost the loot.

They emerged in a gleaming white city, a train flew by on a sky-track, several ships moved through the streets, a robot stood at the street corner, several armored soldiers moved through the streets with rifles and energy swords.


Entered RedCreek.

The cheery cat girl held out her hand, "I'm Rin, whats your name?" she asked, Shirk took her hand in his massive paw.
"Shirk" he grunted, Green offered his cold dead hand to her, she took it, a chill ran down her spine as she felt the lack of life. "YOu must be an undead." She smiled, it seemed to be an uncomfortable smile. Green sighed, "You couldn't tell by the green skin?" he muttered. Rin wrinkled her nose, clearly not appreciating Green's sarcasm. Zach was next to shake her hand,"You're pretty." he blurted, Rin patted him on the head.
"And you're too young for me."
"Aww…"
"We're supposed to inform you of something-" Shirk began.
"The living shadows have infected the human city on Obsidian Rock." Fras cut in, Rin nodded, and looked over the team.
"I'd prefer if you told it to the big man." she said, "I'm a simple patrol officer, he'd rather hear it in person."

"I see." Shirk grunted.
"HOwever you all look tired, maybe you should look around before you go to see him? (PQ the GM when you are ready to advance in the story)"
Fras nodded looking around. "I suppose I can take a look around the city."
"Oh is that a candy shop?" Zach's attention shot over to a large lollypop outside a door, Rin nodded.

"Sounds good to me. Zach don't do anything I wouldn't do. Or on secound thought since your going to do it anyway don't get caught. I don't want to be run out of town," He said as he walked off in no particular direction.

(This does not count as a story narration, just adding some life to the town)

Spiraling skyscrapers touched the clouds, people of all races walked through the streets, the soldiers keeping a close eye on them, brisk wind blew through Rin's hair as she moved, here eyes still focused on the party as they drifted from her vision, when finnaly they were out of sight she headed for the old cafe on mainstreet, opening the door she heard the old bell she had come to know, the chiming as she entered, there in a booth sat a man in a white fedora and suit, he looked at the cat girl as she walked by.

Elsewhere, in the park several kids sat on the playground equipment playing their video games, one ran into a slide too consumed by his virtual reallity helment, perfectly oblivous to the oncoming nightmare within his made up world. One boy hung upside down playing his hand held hologram game, as a girl sat below typing him love letters, that he quickly deleted as they appeared in his game. A river flowed near by, clear as crystal from the city's enhanced filtration system. Life seemed to go on as normal in Red Creek, as if the living shadows didn't exist.

All around the team, people were busy going about their daily lives, old women chattering on a street corner about things they've heard, young children chasing each other for dolls, women out shopping for that night's dinner, several businessman chatted at the cafe during their break. Rin put a hand on her hip and looked at the white clad man. "Mr. Z, you're supposed to be at the office." she pouted, the man looked up tilting his hat up to reveal two red eyes.
"Why?" he asked with a grin, Rin puffed out her cheeks.
"You know why."
"That team from earlier?" he asked leaning foward so that his face was over his coffee"
"Yeah, you told me to fetch them didn't you?"

"I suppose you're right." he yawned.


Nearby a fatman waddled out of a video game store, heading homeward bound for his mother's basement, he had just bought the latest dating sim, and was going to have some lonely time. Several schoolboys walked by him, they gave him a disturbed look, one of the elven boys pushed the others forward. As if saying to stay away from him, which cannot be blamed upon them, he did resemble a pedophile.

Several animals made their way acrossed the street, ducking below the hover ships that transported people around, a squirrel climbed one of the white barked trees in the middle of town, looking about from it's new perch among the branches, it spotted the large werewolf and his other two companions, the green dead looking one making his way away from them. It chittered a bit before going back to it's duties of cleaning itself.

(Updated the main posts with the skills you can learn at different levels, it's at the bottom)

Seeing the squirrel I pick up a rock and hurl it into the tree, nocking the squirrel down. Before it can recover I leap on it and tear it apart with my fangs. Seeing the horrified looks of the few children not absorbed in their videogames I mutter "I don't like squirrels" and quickly walk away.

Fras walked around for a little while. "where can i buy decent smokes around this place?" A small child interupted as he was walking by "Smokings bad for you. Itll make you go blind and your palms will go hairy!" Fras put the last of the cigarettes into his mouth and lit it. He had traded a dirty magazine for them earlier. "Kid youve got alot to learn. Hmmm… Ive got 4 coins left to spare. I wonder if thats enough." He sat down with his legs crossed smoking his last cigarette slowly to gain as much flavor and nicoteen as he could from it. He knew he probibly wouldnt have another one for a very long time. He took in the atmosphere and muttered to himself. "Hmmm. The bust on that cat girl." The child from earlier was still standing beside him. "Mister whats a bust?" Fras gave him a sharp leer. "Boy didnt anyone ever tell you eavesdropping is wrong?!"
