Save the Kingdom of Tromendor

Introduction:
You are living in the city of Kalimandeer, the main city of the
mighty Tromendor kingdom.
The city is in chaos and the King has called for heroes to come
and help solve the mystery that engulf the kingdom for the last
couple of months.
Every night, people disappear. Sometimes only one, sometimes
up to 10 at one single night.
The City Guard is helpless, nothing out of the ordinary entered
the city or left it, at least not using the gates and the city
has thick walls all around it.
Dozens of heroes already answered the call, went exploring
and never came back. One of them has been seen in distant
city, insane and not aware to what happened.

How To Play:
1. Pick yourself a name.
2. Decide your character strength and weakness by dividing
total of 100 stat points among Power, Agility and Magic.

• Power - physical power. decide how strong you are with
  weapons, how hard you hit and how much damage you can
  sustain before dying.
• Agility - decide how quick you are. higher agility means you
  can better avoid traps and attacks, and can survive long
  battles without getting exhausted.
• Magic - decide how strong you are in magic. Remember that
  you will have to constantly memorize the spells and that
  powerful magic is very hard to find and use in this world.

3. Equip yourself by buying items from the following list, where you start with 100 GP (Gold Pieces). Remember, the rates are:
1 Platinum Piece (PP) = 50 Gold Pieces (GP)
1 Gold Piece = 10 Silver Pieces (SP)
1 Silver Piece = 100 Copper Pieces (CP)

• Long Sword - 7 GP. Ordinary sword used in melee battle,
  vital for warriors. normal damage, made of metal.
• Superior Steel Sword - 20 GP. Made by expert smith from
  the best materials, this weapon deals more damage and rarely
  breaks. comes with life time warranty.
• Morning Star - 10 GP. Mace-like weapon, preferred by some
  of the warriors. made of wood and metal, deals damage like
  the ordinary sword and is better against specific monsters.
• Short Bow - 10 GP. Simple bow firing arrows, it's the common
  ranged weapon.
• Long Bow - 20 GP. Long range bow, it can shoot arrows much
  further than the ordinary bow... but it also require more skill.
• Heavy Crossbow - 25 GP. Ultimate ranged weapon, it deals
  heavy damage using big bolts. quite simple to use, but have
  short range of only 12 meters.
• Arrows - 1 SP for each arrow. (1 GP = 10 arrows)
• Bolts - 2 SP for each. (1 GP = 5 bolts)
• Small Shield - 10 GP. Ordinary shield used to protect fighters
  in melee combat. simple to hold and use, it's classic defense.
• Heavy Shield - 25 GP. Larger than the ordinary shield, it
  gives more protection, but is also heavier and will make combat
  more difficult for not skilled warriors.
• Leather Armor Set - 35 GP. Full set of armor, will protect
  its wearer during combat. Classic for warriors. Note, such
  armor can interrupt spells. (10% chance)
• Chain Mail Set - 80 GP. Heavy armor of the finest metal,
  will give ultimate protection. However, with 40% chance of
  interrupting spells, spell casters rarely wear it.
• Spell Casting Kit - 10 GP. Crucial for spell casting, this kit
  contains the spell book where you write your spells, blank
  scrolls and special ink as well as few basic spells.
• Scroll of Sleep - 15 GP. Allow casting the magic spell of
  "Sleep" once, or memorizing the spell permanently for skilled
  wizards. Sleep will cause most monsters to fall into heavy sleep.
• Scroll of Magic Missle - 20 GP. Allow casting Magic Missle -
  magical bolt of energy damaging your enemy. Like above, can
  either be used once by non skilled spell casters or memorized by
  skilled wizards.
• Scroll of Fireball - 80 GP. Allow casting the 3rd level spell
  Fireball - generates huge ball of hot fire, incinerating everything
  in its path. The ultimate destructive magic, it can be memorized
  only the by the strongest wizards.
• Potion of Healing - 8 GP. Magic liquid that heal its drinker
  and cure most illness. contains two dozes.
• Potion of Strength - 10 GP. Give temporary physical strength,
  making its drinker much stronger and better in melee combat.

4. Join the main pub of Kalimandeer where you can collect
information and get ready for beginning the adventure.
You will also find guides in there, and help in case of trouble.
5. Start your adventure! After having enough information and
equipment, you will be able to prove yourself as true hero.

Magic and Spells:
1. Any character with 10 or more magic stat points can cast
magic spells.
2. Anyone can try to cast spell directly from scroll. There is
chance the spell will fail, and it gets higher as the spell is more
powerful. Anyway the spell disappear from the scroll afterwards.
3. There is the ability to scribe spell from scroll to your
own spell book. To do that, your Game Level (or just Level in
short) has to be the same or more than the level of the spell.
Right now, all characters begin in Level 1. Sleep and Magic
Missle are 1st level spells, and Fireball is 3rd level spell. Of
course, you also have to purchase the Spell Casting Kit in order
to scribe spells. Scribing spell takes one hour for each level
of the spell. It must be done in complete silence and focus.
4. Once you have spell scribed in your spell book, you can
Memorize it after 6 hours of complete rest. At Level 1, you can
have only one spell Memorized at any time. At Level 2, you can
have two spells memorized etc... to change memorized spells
you must have at least 6 hours of complete rest.
5. When you have spell memorized or on scroll and you wish to
cast it just say so and the DM will decide if the spell was cast
successfully or not. Remember, armor type affect it as well.
6. Currently, characters can't be clerics. That means, no
healing spells of any sort. List of available spells will be created
with time.

About The Game:
As you can guess by now, this is text based, old style,
RPG game. It's all my original invention so there are
no strict rules just yet.
I preferred to make it more simple to play by only few options
to choose from, with time if the game will catch I can add
more stuff to make it more flexible.
In case of dying I still haven't decided what is going to
happen, so you better not die!!
Oh, just in case you're not aware of RPG: it stands for
Role Playing Game, where you take the role of imaginary
character and you decide his/her actions, which with
time give you experience, money and power. Welcome!

I join the game, it can be great way to pass the time... not just another
ordinary forum game, it combine thinking and action.
Of course, I act as the DM (Dungeon Master) but can also have character
for guidance and kicking things to action.

They can see that he has no clue of where to start...

Character Name: Shem
Attributes: 50 Power, 20 Agility, 30 Magic

A dark figure clanks, darkly, into a dark corner, sits down and stares from under his dark cowel with dark eyes into the dark room. When offered a drink by a maid he merley shakes his head once with a small grunt.

Conversation not too far away catches his attention, not that he shows it.

OK heroes, I'm glad you joined! will make character sheets for everyone
ASAP, still not sure where I'll save it. either here or in external web page
that I would link to. anyway, each character deserve separate reply:

-------------------

@noFriends - being strong warrior, all the women in the pub turn their look
towards you... and all men look in envy at your weaponry. when you sit
down the bar tender whispers:
"hi stranger, I am Joe nice to meet you. I think you will find that man interesting",
and he points toward old man with long white beard, who sit in one of the tables.

-------------------

@Shem - couple of men take a sit beside you, as all other tables are full. they
talk in silent voice, but you manage to hear parts of the conversation:
Person A: "Did you see that ..... ? I think he's loaded! let's ...... what you say?"
Person B: "Yeah! {small evil grin} but ..... "
he notice you, and they both lower their voice to whisper. as you were focused
on them you didn't hear any other conversations, and you notice that both
men are armed and have lots of scars.

-------------------

@Dark Caller - your shiny armor draw some gasps from the audience... they're
not used to professional warriors. everyone leave you alone though, and you
see beautiful woman talking with young boy. it's far from you, but you can read
their leaps:
Woman: ".....please? do it for me. I can't afford ..... {turn her face for couple of
seconds} ... I promise that he will come. how much you have?"
Boy: "only 200 pla... [shortcut for PP] but my brother can get much more. let's go
now before someone see us."
they walk toward the door, the woman holding his hand.

-------------------

@shadow - sitting in the center of the big room, shadow observe it all and
listen carefully. he takes 1 copper piece out and start playing with it.
his look stay longer on Shem and Dark Caller, as he understands they're not
just ordinary folks. when he see the two men sitting near Shem preparing to
get up he tense and put his hand on the sword.

-------------------

shem, slowly gets a good grip on his sword, realising wots about to come, though not to worry as these idiots are just common thugs relying on numbers to get wot they want.

at the same time he notices a man with a long whitebeard at one of the tables, the man is looking towards the fellas sitting besides shem, this man too has a firm grip on his sword.

Dark Caller leaves his seat and exits after the woman and boy.

noFriends: Thanking the barkeep for the information, walks accross to the
old man with the white beard. "I've been expecting you" the old man says.
