[center][b]The story![/b][/center]

Long ago the humans and fairies coincided in a forest guarded by the King of the Fairies, a terrifying creature who ruled over the Great Forests. The forest once stretched over an entire continent, and was the largest kingdom of the day. Ancient trees hundreds of feet tall stood at its center and new ones grew every day. The forest spread ever outwards, blanketing the dwarves’ Towering Mountains, and encroached upon the Whispering Plains, and the Frozen North. However, this expansion would cause the downfall of the forest.

The vampires, who called the Frozen North home, grew restless as the forest approached, as did the mages and elves who lived in the Whispering Plains. The emperor of the vampires attempted to persuade the Fairy King to cease the expansion of his domain, but he refused and slayed the impudent vampire. A war broke out between the vampires and the forest dwellers, and the dwarves and mages soon joined in.

For hundreds of years the battle continued. The forests were burned and cut, the humans taken prisoner, and the fairies slaughtered. However, once the forest was whittled back to the trees which had lived since the dawn of time the war cease, for the trees joined in the battle. The eldest part of the forest, now known as the Devouring Wood, was enchanted. Were anyone who wished the forest or its people harm to set foot close enough, roots would drag them underground and their body would be used as fertilizer. 

The vampires, dwarves, and mages quickly retreated once they realized this, having lost millions over the centuries. Satisfied with the forest cut back so far, and unwilling to continue, the war drew to a close. However, unrest continued as the humans who were captured were sold as servants to mages or food to vampires, and as the fairies who survived try to reconnect with their families and skittered back to the scattered patches of forest that remained. The world calmed, after a five-hundred-year storm, but not all was as it seemed, for some of those who fought so valiantly did not return the same person as whom they had left and troubling whispers could be heard in the dark.

For this RP we're looking for 5 players max active at a time. It's first come first serve based on when you get your sheet up. We'd appreciate those who know they can play reliably and post frequently. If you join and then must leave for a while or wish to quit, please tell us and we will have your character break off from the group without harming game play and leaving the others hanging. Also, if you're someone who is interested but the game is currently full but you'd like to play when a slot is open, please talk to BlueRose, and she will handle messaging you in the event of an opening. To find out whether or not the RP is full, please check the "Players" info in the second post. 

Also, we will be doing this turn-based, as well as operating certain aspects of game-play using a dice/stat system. So if you're interested in a little more structure or definition then the ordinary rp, this is the game for you. On top of that, I should mention your character will be able to die (hence the HP number). If your character dies and you wish to continue playing, you may make a new character. 

As always, there are rules. Please read them and be mindful of them. We're not too strict, so don't be afraid, just be mindful.
[hider=Rules]
These rules are subject to change at the discretion of the GMs
1. We will be taking turns posting. The active players list will be the order of the posters. Please be mindful and respectful of this.
2. If you do not take your turn within 2 days, your turn will be skipped and it will be presumed you stood there doing nothing. 
3. If you skip 3 consecutive turns without previously notifying a GM your character will be NPC'd out of the game temporarily and you will need to speak with either Blue or me when you wish to rejoin.
4. If you skip more than 6 turns overall without telling a GM (consecutive or not), you will not be allowed to play anymore.
5. Listen to the GMs (Turtlicious and BlueRose)
6. Be respectful of your fellow players.
7. Try your best to learn the system before just jumping into the game, especially the parts relevant to your own character.
8. We want reliable players, please try and be here as often as possible. If you can't be here for an extended period of time, tell us, and we will work out a way for your character to go elsewhere in the world, and rejoin the group when you return.
9. Have fun.
10. Since we only intend to have 5 players, if anyone drops out and there is a slot open someone else may join. I'm not sure how long this game will go, hopefully it'll have a good run. 
11. Don't throw a tantrum if you die, take it like a champ and make a new character. 
12. Blue and I will warn/ban you if you break our rules.
[/hider]

Since this is a stat-based, tabletop-esque game, we will be using a dice system. This is part of the game, so it's best you read this hider so you know how/when to roll.
[hider=Rolling]
Rolling only counts when you roll in our campaign using [url=http://orokos.com/roll/?action=roll]orokos[/url].

Fill out the box like you see here:

[hider=So When Do I Roll?]
When trying to damage something in melee range... roll 2d6+STR 10+ You deal your damage to the enemy, and you avoid their attack. (You can choose to take an extra 1d6 damage, but then you expose yourself to an attack) on a 7-9 You hit them but you also get hit, 1-6 just take damage.

When trying to damage something with a ranged weapon... roll 2d6+DEX 10+ You have a clear shot deal your damage, 7-9 You have to choose one of the following: Move to get the shot placing you in danger (your RPing make it up!) You have to take what you can get: -1d6 damageYou have to take several shots, reducing your ammo by one

When you're trying to defy danger, or do something in the face of impending peril... roll 2d6+ Whatever skill you're using to get out of it. On a 10+ You succeed, on a 7-9 you almost succeed but have to face "consequences" OOC I'll give you a worse outcome, a hard bargain, or an ugly choice for you to make 1-6 You fail to avoid danger, take the damage or whatever happens. Examples of using stats: By powering through, +Str, by dodging +DEX, by just shrugging it off +CON, with quick thinking +INT, through mental fortitude +wis, or using charm and social grace +CHA.

When defending another player, thing, or place... roll 2d6+CON on a 10+ you get 3 defense points, on a 7-9 you get 1. Spend these defense points 1 for 1 to do the following: Redirect an attack from the thing you defend to yourself, Halve the attack’s effect or damage, Open up the attacker to an ally giving that ally +1 to the next roll against the attacker, Deal damage to the attacker equal to your level

When you're trying to consult your accumulated knowledge about something...roll 2d6+INT On a 10+ Contact me OOC, I'll tell you something interesting and useful about the subject relevant to your situation, 7-9 I will only tell you something interesting (it's on you to make it useful) It's up to you to explain how you know this.

When you close study a situation or person... roll 2d6+WIS On a 10+, ask the GM 3 questions from the list below. On a 7–9, ask 1. Either way, take +1 to any rolls when acting on the answers. What happened here recently? What is about to happen? What should I be on the lookout for? What here is useful or valuable to me? Who’s really in control here? What here is not what it appears to be?

When you try to leverage something out of a pc using social skills...roll 2d6+CHA On a 10+ They do what you ask if you first promise something important, 7-9+ They will do what you ask but need some concrete assurance right now.

When you help or hinder someone... roll 2d6+ any Bonds you have with that person, (something I'll give you that signifies your friendship / rivalry,) 10+ You can give them either +1 to a roll, or -2 to a roll, on a 7-9 you still succeed, but "consequences" happen.

If you reach -10 health, roll 2d6, on 10+ you've cheated death, you're in a bad spot but you maange to stabilize / not die (your health is raised to 0) 7-9 Death will offer you a baragin, take it and stabilize, or create a new character (your old one is dead) on 6- You're just dead.
[/hider]

Anyways, it's time to create a character, to create a character do the following:

1.) Choose a Class: The Bard, The Cleric, The Druid, The Fighter, The Paladin, The Ranger, The Thief, The Wizard

2.)Fill out the CS for that class:

3.) Gear tags explained: Most of the Gear in DungeonWorld is defined by tags, rather then direct stats, normally it'll have "precise" or "messy" or "heavy" and you're expected to PR that aspect in game. To clarify a bit, here are some commong tags with short definitions! (Feel free to just skip this section, unless a specific tag is confusing!)
[hider=Gear Tags Explained]
[b]General Tags[/b]

[i]Applied:[/i] It’s only useful when carefully applied to a person or to something they eat or drink.
[i]Awkward:[/i] It’s unwieldy and tough to use.
[i]+Bonus:[/i] It modifies your effectiveness in a specified situation. It might be “+1 forward to spout lore” or “-1 ongoing to hack and slash.”
[i]Dangerous:[/i] It’s easy to get in trouble with it. If you interact with it without proper precautions the GM may freely invoke the consequences of your foolish actions.
[i]Ration:[/i] It’s edible, more or less.
[i]Requires:[/i] It’s only useful to certain people. If you don’t meet the requirements it works poorly, if at all.
[i]Slow:[/i] It takes minutes or more to use.
[i]Touch:[/i] It’s used by touching it to the target’s skin.
[i]Two-handed:[/i] It takes two hands to use it effectively.
[i]n weight:[/i] Count the listed amount against your Load. Something with no listed weight isn’t designed to be carried. 100 coins in standard denominations is 1 weight. The same value in gems or fine art may be lighter or heavier.
[i]Worn:[/i] To use it, you have to be wearing it.
[i]n Uses:[/i] It can only be used n times.

[b]Weapon Tags[/b]

[i]n Ammo:[/i] It counts as ammunition for appropriate ranged weapons. The number indicated does not represent individual arrows or sling stones, but represents what you have left on hand.
[i]Forceful:[/i] It can knock someone back a pace, maybe even off their feet.
[i]+n Damage:[/i] It is particularly harmful to your enemies. When you deal damage, you add n to it.
[i]Ignores Armor:[/i] Don’t subtract armor from the damage taken.
[i]Messy:[/i] It does damage in a particularly destructive way, ripping people and things apart.
[i]n Piercing:[/i] It goes right through armor. When you deal damage with n piercing, you subtract n from the enemy’s armor for that attack.
[i]Precise:[/i] It rewards careful strikes. You use DEX to hack and slash with this weapon, not STR.
[i]Reload:[/i] After you attack with it, it takes more than a moment to reset for another attack.
[i]Stun:[/i] When you attack with it, it does stun damage instead of normal damage.
[i]Thrown:[i/] Throw it at someone to hurt them. If you volley with this weapon, you can’t choose to mark off ammo on a 7–9; once you throw it, it’s gone until you can recover it.

Weapons have tags to indicate the range at which they are useful. Dungeon World doesn’t inflict penalties or grant bonuses for “optimal range” or the like, but if your weapon says Hand and an enemy is ten yards away, a player would have a hard time justifying using that weapon against him.

[i]Hand:[/i] It’s useful for attacking something within your reach, no further.
[i]Close:[/i] It’s useful for attacking something at arm’s reach plus a foot or two.
[i]Reach:[/i] It’s useful for attacking something that’s several feet away—maybe as far as ten.
[i]Near:[/i] It’s useful for attacking if you can see the whites of their eyes.
[i]Far:[/i] It’s useful for attacking something in shouting distance.

[b]Armor Tags[/b]

[i]n Armor:[/i] It protects you from harm and absorbs damage. When you take damage, subtract your armor from the total. If you have more than one item with n Armor, only the highest value counts.
[i]+n Armor:[/i] It protects you and stacks with other armor. Add its value to your total armor.
[i]Clumsy:[/i] It’s tough to move around with. -1 ongoing while using it. This penalty is cumulative.

Heal 1d8 damage
+1d4 forward to damage
Their mind is shaken clear of one enchantment
The next time someone successfully assists the target with aid, they get +2 instead of +1

Then roll+Cha. On a 10+, the ally gets the selected effect. On a 7-9, your spell still works, but you draw unwanted attention or your magic reverberates to other targets (You can't choose target's that would help you if they received the magic) affecting them as well, player's choice.

[i]Bardic Lore[/i]
Area of Expertise: 
Grand Histories of the Known World

Bloody Conquest
Civilization
Knowledge and Hidden Things
The Downtrodden and Forgotten

Your religion believes in trial by combat, add Petition: Personal Victory
_____________________
[b]Moves[/b]

[i]Divine Guidance[/i]
When you petition your deity according to the precept of your religion, you are granted some useful knowledge or boon related to your deity’s domain. The GM will tell you what.

[i]Turn Undead[/i]
When you hold your holy symbol aloft and call on your deity for protection, roll+Wis. ✴On a 7+, so long as you continue to pray and brandish your holy symbol, no undead may come within reach of you. ✴On a 10+, you also momentarily daze intelligent undead and cause mindless undead to flee. Aggression breaks the effects and they are able to act as normal. Intelligent undead may still find ways to harry you from afar. They’re clever like that.

[i]Commune[/i]
When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet communion with your deity, you:

Lose any spells already granted to you.
Are granted new spells of your choice whose total levels don’t exceed your own level+1, and none of which is a higher level than your own level.
Prepare all of your rotes, which never count against your limit.

[i]Cast a Spell[/i]
When you unleash a spell granted to you by your deity, roll+Wis. On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast and your deity does not revoke the spell, so you may cast it again. On a 7–9, the spell is cast, but choose one:

- You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot. Choose one of the following.
- Your casting distances you from your deity—take -1 ongoing to cast a spell until the next time you commune.
- After you cast it, the spell is revoked by your deity. You cannot cast the spell again until you commune and have it granted to you.

Note that maintaining spells with ongoing effects will sometimes cause a penalty to your roll to cast a spell. (You know your character, and would know when this is.)

[hider= Cleric Spells]
Rotes
Every time you commune, you gain access to all of your rotes without having to select them or count them toward your allotment of spells.

Light Rote
An item you touch glows with divine light, about as bright as a torch. It gives off no heat or sound and requires no fuel but is otherwise like a mundane torch. You have complete control of the color of the flame. The spell lasts as long as it is in your presence.

Sanctify Rote
Food or water you hold in your hands while you cast this spell is consecrated by your deity. In addition to now being holy or unholy, the affected substance is purified of any mundane spoilage.

Guidance Rote
The symbol of your deity appears before you and gestures towards the direction or course of action your deity would have you take then disappears. The message is through gesture only; your communication through this spell is severely limited.

LEVEL 1 SPELLS

Bless Level 1 Ongoing

Your deity smiles upon a combatant of your choice. They take +1 ongoing so long as battle continues and they stand and fight. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to cast a spell.

Cure Light Wounds Level 1
At your touch wounds scab and bones cease to ache. Heal an ally you touch of 1d8 damage.

Detect Alignment Level 1
When you cast this spell choose an alignment: Good, Evil, Lawful, or Chaotic. One of your senses is briefly able to detect that alignment. The GM will tell you what here is of that alignment.

Cause Fear Level 1 Ongoing
Choose a target you can see and a nearby object. The target is afraid of the object so long as you maintain the spell. Their reaction is up to them: flee, panic, beg, fight. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to cast a spell. You cannot target entities with less than animal intelligence (magical constructs, undead, automatons, and the like).

Magic Weapon Level 1 Ongoing
The weapon you hold while casting does +1d4 damage until you dismiss this spell. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to cast a spell.

Sanctuary Level 1
As you cast this spell, you walk the perimeter of an area, consecrating it to your deity. As long as you stay within that area you are alerted whenever someone acts with malice within the sanctuary (including entering with harmful intent). Anyone who receives healing within a sanctuary heals +1d4 HP.

Speak With Dead Level 1
A corpse converses with you briefly. It will answer any three questions you pose to it to the best of the knowledge it had in life and the knowledge it gained in death.[/hider]

[b]Moves[/b]

[i]Born of the Soil[/i]
You learned your magic in a place whose spirits are strong and ancient and they’ve marked you as one of their own. No matter where you go, they live within you and allow you to take their shape. Choose one of the following. It is the land to which you are attuned—when shapeshifting you may take the shape of any animal who might live in your Land. (Choose one Land)

The Great Forests
The Whispering Plains
The Vast Desert
The Stinking Mire
The River Delta
The Depths of the Earth
The Sapphire Islands
The Open Sea
The Towering Mountains
The Frozen North
The Blasted Wasteland

Choose a tell—a physical attribute that marks you as born of the soil—that reflects the spirit of your land. It may be an animal feature like antlers or leopard’s spots or something more general: hair like leaves or eyes of glittering crystal. Your tell remains no matter what shape you take.

[i]By Nature Sustained[/i]
You don’t need to eat or drink.

[i]Spirit Tongue[/i]
The grunts, barks, chirps, and calls of the creatures of the wild are as language to you. You can understand any animal native to your land or akin to one whose essence you have studied.

[i]Shapeshifter[/i]
When you call upon the spirits to change your shape, roll+Wis. ✴On a 10+ hold 3. ✴On a 7–9 hold 2. ✴On a miss hold 1 in addition to whatever the GM says.
You may take on the physical form of any species whose essence you have studied or who lives in your land: you and your possessions meld into a perfect copy of the species’ form. You have any innate abilities and weaknesses of the form: claws, wings, gills, breathing water instead of air. You still use your normal stats but some moves may be harder to trigger—a housecat will find it hard to do battle with an ogre. (As things make it harder for you to maintain control of your animal form, you'll start to lose hold, at 0 hold you revert to your natural form.)

[i]Studied Essence[/i]
When you spend time in contemplation of an animal spirit, you may add its species to those you can assume using shapeshifting.

Bloodweed (touch): The target deals -1d4 damage ongoing until cured
Goldenroot (applied): The target treats the next creature they see as a trusted ally, until proved otherwise

[b]Moves[/b]

[i]Spellbook[/i]
You have mastered several spells and inscribed them in your spellbook. You start out with three first level spells in your spellbook as well as the cantrips. Whenever you gain a level, you add a new spell of your level or lower to your spellbook. You spellbook is 1 weight. (Copy 3 spells from the Wizard Spells Tab, and paste them here)

[i]Prepare Spells[/i]
When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet contemplation of your spellbook, you:

Lose any spells you already have prepared
Prepare new spells of your choice from your spellbook whose total levels don’t exceed your own level+1.
Prepare your cantrips which never count against your limit.

[i]Cast a Spell[/i]
When you release a spell you’ve prepared, roll+Int. ✴On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast and you do not forget the spell—you may cast it again later. ✴On a 7-9, the spell is cast, but choose one:

You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot. You choose how.
The spell disturbs the fabric of reality as it is cast—take -1 ongoing to cast a spell until the next time you Prepare Spells.
After it is cast, the spell is forgotten. You cannot cast the spell again until you prepare spells.

[i]Spell Defense[/i]
You may end any ongoing spell immediately and use the energy of its dissipation to deflect an oncoming attack. The spell ends and you subtract its level from the damage done to you.

[i]Ritual[/i]
When you draw on a place of power to create a magical effect, tell the GM what you’re trying to achieve. Ritual effects are always possible, but the GM will give you one to four of the following conditions:

It’s going to take days/weeks/months
First you must ____
You’ll need help from ____
It will require a lot of money
The best you can do is a lesser version, unreliable and limited
You and your allies will risk danger from ____
You’ll have to disenchant ____ to do it

[hider= Wizard Spells]

Cantrips
You prepare all of your cantrips every time you prepare spells without having to select them or count them toward your allotment of spells.

Light Cantrip
An item you touch glows with arcane light, about as bright as a torch. It gives off no heat or sound and requires no fuel, but it is otherwise like a mundane torch. You have complete control of the color of the flame. The spell lasts as long as it is in your presence.

Unseen Servant Cantrip Ongoing
You conjure a simple invisible construct that can do nothing but carry items. It has Load 3 and carries anything you hand to it. It cannot pick up items on its own and can only carry those you give to it. Items carried by an unseen servant appear to float in the air a few paces behind you. An unseen servant that takes damage or leaves your presence is immediately dispelled, dropping any items it carried. Otherwise the unseen servant serves you until you end the spell.

Prestidigitation Cantrip
You perform minor tricks of true magic. If you touch an item as part of the casting you can make cosmetic changes to it: clean it, soil it, cool it, warm it, flavor it, or change its color. If you cast the spell without touching an item you can instead create minor illusions no bigger than yourself. Prestidigitation illusions are crude and clearly illusions—they won’t fool anyone, but they might entertain them.

LEVEL 1 SPELLS

Contact Spirits Level 1 Summoning
Name the spirit you wish to contact (or leave it to the GM). You pull that creature through the planes, just close enough to speak to you. It is bound to answer any one question you ask to the best of its ability.

Detect Magic Level 1 Divination
One of your senses is briefly attuned to magic. The GM will tell you what here is magical.

Telepathy Level 1 Divination ongoing
You form a telepathic bond with a single person you touch, enabling you to converse with that person through your thoughts. You can only have one telepathic bond at a time.

Charm Person Level 1 Enchantment ongoing
The person (not beast or monster) you touch while casting this spell counts you as a friend until they take damage or you prove otherwise.

Invisibility Level 1 Illusion Ongoing
Touch an ally: nobody can see them. They’re invisible! The spell persists until the target attacks or you dismiss the effect. While the spell is ongoing you can’t cast a spell.

Magic Missile Level 1 Evocation
Projectiles of pure magic spring from your fingers. Deal 2d4 damage to one target.

Alarm Level 1
Walk a wide circle as you cast this spell. Until you prepare spells again your magic will alert you if a creature crosses that circle. Even if you are asleep, the spell will shake you from your slumber.[/hider]
