Hello everyone!
One more PSA: this time a
PLAYER SWAP (cue ruckus of applause and "new challenger approaches" music). My friend Marklar will be taking over the character
Shrooblord from me for this adventure. This means I won't be participating as a player, but only as the all-powerful narrator... muahahaha
Just a little side-note to people who participated in the pregame of last season: things are slightly differently set up this time - you have no starting equipment yet, but it will come soon. There will be the possibility of retaining the same gear you purchased last time, so perhaps you need not rethink what you want to buy for your character. Don't worry; it'll all be discussed again soon.
And with that, let the game commence!
---------------------------------------------------
Day 1. Camp fire, Royal Castle forest clearing
It is a quiet morning. Birds are singing. A Summer breeze is blowing. There is wanton screaming and chaos, people running around with their arms flailing.
Ah yes, the townsfolk are quite upset! What happened? You reach back into your memories.
Before you forms a dark cloud with black lightning licking the trees around you. A sorceror appears from its shadows. It is Prol, the Wizard of the Wastes! But who is that in his arms? Oh no! He has captured the young Prince Huxley!
“Ha-ah-ah-ah-ack!” he cackles, “Foolish adventurers! The heir to your throne is in my kingdom now. Without him, the line to your throne is doomed. Dooooomed! I dare you to try and stop me!”
And he disappears in a puff of smoke.
Resolute, you look towards the hill, where Prol’s dark mansion stands. Storm clouds gather above it. Behind you is the royal castle, where the Prince was most likely taken. Will you and your party set out to stop the evil Prol? Or will you rebel against your queen, now that her family is in distress and she is at her weakest? This is your adventure. You decide.
Right. The kingdom is in complete disarray. But not for long. A heroic party has assembled to stop that daft Prol dead in his tracks. Or perhaps do something else. Nobody's ever quite sure what these guys are up to.
Shrooblord and Udongo Mtu are sitting by a camp fire in a forest clearing just outside the castle walls, waiting for Dog Food and Harpic to arrive. Here they come just now.
There is one more you are expecting: a mage named Master is coming down from a nearby settlement to join your cause. You should probably wait here until his arrival.
You are all new to each other's likeness. Maybe you could introduce yourselves?
You have until Wednesday 22nd of March 02:00 (GMT+1) to post your actions this turn.

OOC:
I would like to remind you that starting from now, you should respect and adhere to
the game rules. As such, you are normally permitted
one post in-character until I have posted a summary of what happens next (the round ends), or until otherwise stated.
In this case, it is a special exception where you may want to exchange some dialogue: you are currently allowed to post more than once in-character until I lift this exception (this means that using powers or attempting skill rolls at this time might be ill-advised as I may not be around to see your request in time before someone else responds to your post. In case you were wondering, this is indeed why there is normally the one-post in-character limit).
If you wish to post anything out-of-character to contribute to the thread / speak to your fellow players publically, please do so like I have done just now, by preceeding whatever you are saying out-of-character with "OOC:". See
the rules post for more information.
