[color=gray][center][h2][color=7ea7d8]The Death Knight's Squire[/color][/h2][/center] Welcome! This roleplay is a D&D 5e short story. [i]The Death Knight's Squire[/i] is a fan-made adventure module meant for solo play, adapted here for a party of 2-4 players. The goal is for this to be a short, straightforward, and stress-free roleplay where posting comes easy. Please note that stress-free does not mean commitment-free. I will not be playing a character in this, so I am solely GMing. The adventure can end in total failure, partial success, or full success. [center][color=7ea7d8]Once upon a time, hung from a tree a black dark knight called to thee 'Dear my child, come, come to me, an adventure I guarantee' Whisked away on horse at night a son was stolen oh so bright But in the deepest starless night, a hero set out clueless of fright And went to steal back what once was the knight's required squire[/color][/center] [center][h2][color=7ea7d8]Rules For Participation[/color][/h2][/center] You will start at level 2. You get your max HP from level 1 and roll for the additional HP for level 2. (Example: As a monk, you'd have 8+1d8+constition modifier HP). Death is possible, so be aware of that. If your character dies, you may make a new one. 1. You may only choose classes from the Player's Handbook (though you may choose subclasses from other official sources). I understand some won't like this but it makes it significantly easier for me. 2. You may choose any official race from any official source. 3. Stats will be rolled - you may roll an entire set of stats twice and take whichever you prefer. You can put any number where you want after that. Please share your stats in the OOC with a link to the roll. 4. All rolls for this RP must be done with the guild dice and always within the same "dice campaign". Additionally, please label your dice rolls. E.g. "Investigation Check" or "Stat Rolls". 5. You get the starter equipment that is listed with your class and background. 6. You may choose any background from any official source or choose none. The GM reserves the right to refuse any background if it doesn't fit. 7. You must be a "hero". Whatever your internal motivation is, your character must be willing to offer help. Best suited are of course characters with the alignment "good". [center][h2][color=7ea7d8]Rules for Posting and Behaviour[/color][/h2][/center] I am expecting you all to be decent humans who are welcoming to all who find this thread and trust you are all looking to make this a smooth experience, which includes helping other players by answering questions or guiding them on how to use the dice system on the guild. Treat this as if you're sitting in front of each other, do not let the anonymity of the internet make you less of a kind person than you'd otherwise be. 1. The GM might make mistakes at times. You may ask them about a call they made but for the smooth sailing of this, a GM call is to be accepted. 2. You must post once a week. If you miss this deadline, you will be removed from the RP. If this happens, be on your best behavior and don't start a fight. 3. I will be accepting max. 4 players at the same time. If one player drops out, the spot gets immediately opened up for another player to take. Yes, this will not "make sense" in-game but we will embrace the weirdness and roll with it nonetheless. 4. This is an LGBTQ-friendly space. I will not hesitate to kick you out. 5. This will NOT include "adult content". Refrain from mentions of sexual assault, substance abuse (including excessive alcohol consumption), or other such topics. 6. Combat can be written in detail but I ask you to show decent human restraint in how you treat your enemies. 7. All rules apply IC and OOC. The GM reserves the right to boot you from this RP if you break any of these rules or are in general performing undesired behavior. You can be kicked without warning. Though I will likely give you a reason, I do not owe you an explanation. [color=7ea7d8]By applying with a CS, you agree to the rules.[/color] And as always, post your CS in the OOC thread first.

This mysterious knight flees into the nearby woods where our adventuring group will be heading to retrieve the child and possibly put an end to the Death Knight.
