Gardevoiran — Roleplayer Guild

Irthorne glanced up from his book and looked around at the greenery covering the area. It was a chilly spring day that day, with flowers coming into fresh bloom everywhere. The air whispered as the breeze blew through the atmosphere, causing a bit of a shiver to anyone walking nearby. Irthorne closed the book after folding the corner of the page he was on so he could pick up where he left off later, and with the title of the book "The Herolich" facing the sky, he went back over a plan.

He had amassed a good-sized group, but that was also the downfall. If too many people entered the Believers Crypt at once, they may cause a collapse of rubble on top of them, which was a very bad situation if they were caught within it, so a few would have to stay outside the dungeon, which may prove useful anyway as this dungeon may have the classic necromancer in it, and if the necromancer has any minions that went out on errands, be it to get food or toilet-paper, then the surface group would be there to make sure that minion doesn't get into the dungeon. The only question is, who would be willing to stay on the surface of the dungeon?

After pondering over the idea in his head, the 14 year old girl didn't seem like a good idea to leave on the surface with a bunch of strangers. Irthorne trusted a few of them, like the monk woman and the birdman, but there were also those like the self-proclaimed "Axeman", which gave him the willies. Willies or no willies, it was ultimately up to the person whether they would stay on the surface or not. 

Irthorne checked his watch again, and saw it was the decided time to enter the dungeon. "Where is everyone?", Irthorne thought as he waited for the group to arrive.

A GOOD OLD DUNGEON SPELUNK

Outside of the dungeon, unofficially named Believer's Crypt...

A gnome wizard waits outside the grand doors to the catacombs, an open book in his hand. To passerby, this gnome would be unrecognizable, however to those who come from the dwarven city of Aleritos, they would recognize him as the head advisor of the Aleriton king, and his name was Irthorne. 

A few fair citizens of the city had gone to the king with the plea of how they noticed that the old crypt was, to put it kindly, inhabited, by what appeared to be the undead. Deceased corpses of dwarves, elves, even unidentifiable races wandered through the halls of the dusty and dangerous ruin, and it concerned the citizens. How would they sleep at night knowing that they may wake up to a zombified great-grandparent breathing over their bodies? The citizens quivered in their shoes just thinking about that sight.

The king sent them away, and commanded more city guards to patrol the outskirts of the city in case this did happen. After that was all said and done, the king met with Irthorne and discussed the matters of this situation. The king pleaded to his advisor that he would not want his people to have to live in fear of the undead suddenly invading the city and slaying until there was no more to be slain, and he asked the wizard if he could do something about it. Irthorne had an idea of what he could do.

The city could not afford to send out any guards with the double-duty that was already being served with the patrolling, and asking a royal guardsman to do this task was just disrespectful, so the wizard called upon the help of any who were willing to help him brave the crypt, be it man, woman, dwarf, porc, or even goblin. Within a while, the group was settled, and the wizard and his group met together, where Irthorne debriefed them on the situation, and they were told to meet there on a specific date and time.

The gnome checked his pocketwatch to see the time, closing his book whilst doing so. It was an hour past noon, the time he gave his group when he debriefed them of this task. They were promised a hefty reward for the completion of this, and it wouldn't be forgotten as a task. 

This is where our story begins...

Hello one and all. I am Banana, lord of the produce aisle, and welcome to the roleplay. I promise we'll have a good time here as long as I'm running the show. Anyway, let's get into it.

I call this setting "A Good Old Dungeon Spelunk". 

Simply put, you all as players would be delving into a dungeon in search of what I will know and what you will not know. Depending on whether or not this has a lot of traffic at the end of the dungeon will lead to my decision on if I continue this setting. If I do though, be prepared to make a bond with your fellow players, be it in character or out of complete spite.

The way your CS would be set up is with typical D&D Races, like the standard Human (which will be referred to as a Tall Dwarf), Elf, Gnome, Dwarf, Half-Orc, yadda yadda yadda, and including Kobold. Undead races are allowed to an extent, but nothing overpowered like "I HAVE A LICH OFF THE BAT". You can receive lichdom in character if you are evil, but no lich off the bat. There are 2 added races to this setting that I'd like to talk about below.

The Porc.

To all of you unfamiliar with Unforgotten Realms (not Forgotten Realms, in D&D), I first highly suggest you watch it on YouTube under the channel name of BruceWillakers, and I'll explain how porcs work.

Porcs are pig-orc hybrid... things... that are by nature, incredibly dumb and goofy. They cannot eat food like a normal person, and must regurgitate any solid food then consume it, or they can just eat like yogurt and soup. You're basically a giant anthropomorphic Pig-Beast that cannot eat solid food.

and the Two Headed Ogre.

This is an ogre with two heads. If you want to be a single body with two players controlling it, then you can grab a friend and you both share the character. One player is each head, and you can work together to accomplish a goal, or work against eachother and get nowhere. It's up to you two.
Rules

As with near everything else on this website, there are rules that I'd like everyone to follow, as well as some things to remember.

If it starts getting a bit saucy, keep it PG13 here. If you wanna do it then PM it.
Don't be rude in the OOC. We're all friends here.
Don't make your character overpowered off the bat. No insta-kill swords or what have you.
GM's word is final.
This is meant to be high-casual. Make sure you can construct a decent sentence or two with proper grammar.
There isn't a post order set, but generally make a post after 3 people have gone after your next.
If you lose interest or wish to drop this, please let a GM or Co-GM know.
Interaction between other players is encouraged.
If you have questions, please ask them.
Your character can die, however not right away. The way this works will be that if you are hit with a fatal blow, you won't die right away (unless you know, it's something like burning alive), you'll instead go unconscious. You may get back up from being unconscious in your next post, but if another fatal blow hits your character, they will die.
No machines that require electricity. That sort of technology is too advanced for this time period. If it runs off magic, it is up for a GM or Co-GM to judge.

Character Sheets and Information

Firstly, here's the character sheet.
Character Name: Who are you?

Race: What are you?

Gender: Are you a boy or a girl?

Age: How old are you? (No younger than 14 unless special permission)

Appearance: What do you look like? (A good description is fine, and pictures are also sufficient as well.)

Personality and Motivations: How do you act and why are you with this party?

Class and Alignment: Are you an evil rogue, a good paladin, maybe a neutral bard?

History: What have you done? (You can be as vague as you want, but don’t expect me to just allow you to say something you didn’t say. Bullet points are acceptable.)

Equipment: What are you packing? (Weapons, tools, or miscellaneous things crucial to your character.)

Skills and Spells: What do you do?

Miscellaneous: Anything else to be mentioned?

If your character has a companion, please detail it with them when you apply, and explain how you got that companion in the first place. 

All character sheets are to be put here in the OOC for evaluation by a GM or Co-GM unless specified otherwise.

NPCs will not be posted in this typically, as I want to keep their alignment and such a secret from the players, however that doesn't stop you guys from asking questions about them. If you want to ask a question about an NPC, feel free to do so. You'll probably get an answer unless it's something I wish to keep secret.

With the large amount of people currently in the check, I'd like to have two groups of people in the setting, one group in charge of guarding the entrance of the crypt, and another actually delving into it. I had 12 people in the Int Check so this would make it a bit more balanced in terms of combat.
With all of this out of the way, let us begin!
