That Belongs in a Museum

​

The leader of the Ynglar Brotherhood, Juliette is looking for a team of brave adventurers to help her retrieve an item called the "Gem of Karzka," which is currently held in an underground cave inhabited by Goatmen.

These humanoids are highly sensitive to magic, which is why Juliette is specifically looking for novice-level adventurers to take up the quest.

The goal of the job is to explore the cave and figure out a creative way to retrieve the gem without dying.

Notes

• Sign up here. Make sure you fit all the requirements.
• This challenge will be using a dice-based freeform system I have used in the past. There is nothing mechanically unique about it so you don't have to worry about anything aside from roleplaying. Expect a mix of exploration, combat, and problem solving.
• I may make intermission posts during the cycle, this does not change your 1 post per cycle limitation. The purpose of this is to let your teammate react to your actions.

 

Freeform

Welcome to the freeform system. Below are a few things you absolutely must know before you post in the play thread.

1. Do not split from the group. The group must stay together. There are a few exceptions where you can part from the group, but the circumstances are rare. If you go off on your own, your post will be ignored.
2. Read my posts completely, unlike other straightforward DM formats, the details I give about the world will be important and relevant.
3. Read your teammate's post completely and carefully.
4. Your character can do anything, all mastery can be used in creative, albeit logical ways. You can check with me if you can do x or y, but it is not always necessary.
5. All actions are attempts, do not write out the result of your actions, that's my job.
6. Try to progress the plot or interact with the world or your teammates.
7. Your actions must be explicit. E.g. thinking about doing something is not an action.
8. Do not roll unless you are prompted.
