Fantasy Dungeon Crawl: Take 3

Is there anything you were confused by, in that case?

Also of note, I'd like to remind everyone that you can make your own dungeons.

Have our first planned dungeon and example:

• Name: The Prison-Castle of the Mad King Haldric
• Brief History: Outside the forest of Pelenn, on the edge of the great plains of Velt, there lies ruined walls and a damaged tower, which is the only sign of this dungeon's presence. Legend(and scattered historical records) say that this is in fact the entrance to the castle of the paranoid King Gregori Fel Haldric the Second, who deeply believed that nearly everyone around him plotted his death. He commissioned an underground castle, filled with all kinds of traps, in the belief that it would protect him from harm. While he did not realize it, the castle was much like a prison for the Mad King as well. Its deep darkness drove him to deeper and deeper madness. Even his closest servants and family fell deeply under suspicion. Soon enough, his wife and her children feared that Haldric was so deeply changed he would turn on them and order their deaths, and with the aid of the servants fled. Some believe that this blood runs in the Lord of Ithillin, but there is no clear proof of this matter. King Haldric cursed his family and the servants who aided them, and the servants who did not flee faced execution. Haldric's madness grew more and more, until not a single living soul remained within the Prison-Castle but the Mad King himself. He sought how to guard his life against any and all attempts on it. Who now knows if he succeeded? The Prison-Castle, however, lies in ruins. The Mad King kept much treasure deep below, much of it of great value. It seems that some new residents have entered after the king's apparent death.
• Layout Summary: The Mad King's Prison-Castle goes down six levels, each a spiral of tunnels and traps. The final level holds the Mad King's great horde of treasure, and is also believed to be the resting place of Haldric himself.
• Threats(Enemies, Traps, etc): Giant Rats-dog-sized rats that are not so threatening, goblins, mindless undead, and... something at the very bottom of the Castle. Various traps, from pitfalls to crushing walls.

I can easily update things to keep people from getting confused, even if it's only one player.

You're not causing conflicts, but if my descriptions aren't helping people picture things I need to know, since I don't want people to be confused.

@SleepingSilence: Well, I'd like to know since if my text descriptions aren't getting across how things look, I can fix them or provide pictures of some kind in order to help with that. It's important to make sure everyone's on the same page, basically.

If everyone ends up with wildly differing views of how everything looks, there's bound to be confusion between players and that's not good at all.

That's where your character goes though, yes.

... I'm kind of wondering exactly how you see them in your head now.

Since I think you and I might have very different mental images of how these races look. ^^;

Well, with the possibility of another Hundi it doesn't bother me as much, even if I still think it's an odd choice.

Though I'm now just curious, why don't you think any of the other races would work as a bard?

I'm not trying to make you change or anything, I'm just wondering.

@Lost Cause: Accepted, with those limitations on her bigger spell.

@Rin: I'll help out with that however I can!

@SleepingSilence: Well, it's not even that. It's just, um, I'm surprised that, given his personality and backstory, you picked hundi as a race.

It's just surprising that you picked one when you don't really want to go with a character who may act basically however else, but still has some shades of being a proud warrior. There's obviously hundi magi and hundi bards and hundi whatever else.

Again, there's nothing, like, inherently wrong here, it's just a surprising choice for the character.

I'm not trying to make an argument that the entire race acts the same way.

I'm trying to say it IS central to their culture(as in, it's core to them and is kind of like the shaved hippy dwarf example for them not to be like that). I'm just a little surprised that the person playing a hundi(probably the only one in the RP) picked someone who's not using their cultural traits.

I guess it's just if you want someone who doesn't have shades of proud warrior, I'm surprised you took the proud warrior race when there's other options.

I mean there's nothing technically wrong, I'm just surprised and a little confused.

@SleepingSilence: Er, well... I'm a little confused as to why you picked a hundi, honestly, since their whole thing is being a bunch of honorable warriors. They're also pretty rarely seen in Velt, except on their coming of age quests or as adventurers and sellswords.

Basically I'm a little confused as to your race choice when you're not going for the race's main thing. ^^;

@Raineh Daze: As per the update to the OP, since you discussed it with me beforehand, accepted.
