My Fantasy Life (RP)

Post by Zorolo »

This thread is a pseudo-successor to My Daily Life. If you're interested in what's happened so far, read this: http://dothackers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=19365

General roleplaying rules, so let's have some fun. ^_^

Plot Starts here:
~~~
The hooded man set up the screen as he finished laying out the landscape for the game. Taking a deep breath, the man set a few bags down at his side and looked over the map. He had used some lego Minecraft thing he had impulse bought to describe walls and structure for the two-dimensional destroyed city landscape he and his associates would be using for tonight's roleplay. It was Pathfinder Night, after almost a month of delays and shortcomings. Now that the tournament was over, Steve had time to set up a game... at long last.

Steve stretched out his fingers as he began to set minis on the board and looked at the other two people in the basement who were going to join the game with him. Neko and Kale, two people who shared this interest, stared at the board as they watched their Game Master set everything up. Steve cleared his voice as he put down the mini for his character.

"So, when last we left off, we were about to start with an encounter. You had trailed a small group of Fetchling, people of the Shadow Plane, to a desolate ruined city where you had chosen to hide and ambush them. At the lead, a woman with purple hair carrying a silver great sword, wearing silver chainmail and silver spiked gauntlets approaches the city. These mithral accouterments you recognize as being the calling sign of the Umbral Dragons servants. With her are two Male Fetchling Archers with mithral chain shirts and mithral longswords at their sides. Lastly, following up the back and keeping watch is a shifty looking man carrying a shortbow and a mithral short sword, also wearing a mithral chain shirt."

"You know all of these people have interest in arriving at the Citadel of Darkness. There, Arathmandus, a Cleric of the Horseman of War Szuriel waits for word of what they've found. Place your minis and we can-" he started to say as he heard the sound of the door being kicked down behind the three and a woman with white hair enter. Z's mouth went agape as he pulled his hood over his face and cowered for a moment.

"the hell did she find me?" he asked nervously.

MOstly, this is to avoid dealing with his personal, unresolved feelings following the victory of the tournament Alice had commissioned.

Steve shrunk back, a lump forming in his throat. "She's lovely," he said meekly. His friends held in their laughter as they watched the woman break what little resolve the man seemed to have left. "We can call in others later," he said as he released his deep breath and sat up. "I think you should try it first," he said as he drew up a quick character sheet and handed it to her. "Here you go, your stat blocks based on what I can gather. You're playing a type of magical knight. Your magic is focused on wind type magic, so movement and electricity attacks are your speciality," he said as he went over the stats and everything with Alice.

"And if you have fun, I guess I can start a group with our associates in the Hobbies club," Z said as he adjusted his hood. This was so awkward right now. Hopefully she didn't want to talk to him about the note he'd left her... or how she'd found him. Nerve wracking, nerve wracking, nerve wracking.

Neko cleared his throat and Steve nodded as he sat down. "So, place your lovely miniature on the map near where ours are. We're about to ambush some Fetchlings, people of the Shadow Plane. Neko's playing an Oracle with the Mystery of Life, so his character heals. she's the cat person right there. And Kale... he's playing an Assassin," Z stated as he pointed to the miniature of a Half-Orc carrying a gun with a big sword on his back.

"And me, I'm playing a Rage Prophet, but I'll explain that later," Z said nervously as he set the scene.

~~~
PLayer: Z
Character Name: Zorlo Amaranthine
Age: 25
Race: Half-Elf
Appearance: Image
Class: Rage Prophet (An Oracle who is guided by the spirits and possesses the rage of a barbarian)

~~~

Steve took a deep breath as he laid the scene of the shadow plane, where the four characters readied their ambush on the unsuspecting enemies. Kale's character readied his death strike, while Zorlo stepped into the enemies field of vision to draw their attention.

"Roll for initiative," Steve said as he moved over towards Alice to explain initiative and the system. "You roll this dice with twenty sides, and add your dexterity bonus, which is +3. So d20+3. When you attack with your spear, you make attacks as d20+11 vs. an enemies Armor Class. The 11 comes from the +6 you have from Base Attack Bonus, +3 from your strength, +1 from your weapons magical property, and +1 from your feat Weapon Focus (Spear). That's all that's important for now," he said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Your Armor Class, by the by, is 22. +2 from your Ring of Protection +2, +7 Armor bonus from your +1 Breastplate, and +3 from your Dexterity bonus. So if I roll a 22 or higher with an enemy attack, that means they hit you and you take hit points damage. In this case, you have 85 hit points. Everything else will be covered as we go on, I suppose," he said, rubbing the back of his head as he sat down and everyone rolled for initiative.

Alice then rolled the Dice and landed a 20, "Okay, now what?" she asked.

*Alternative Institute*

Jerzy sat behind his desk, he had recently gotten back from Abu Dhabi, "The little B*tch had me shipped off, well, when I get my hands on her, she'll regret having me shipped out of the country." he said to himself.

*Back at Steve's place*
"I always wanted to try out a live action roleplay," said Alice, "Maybe when we're done with this we can give it a try." she added.

(Howdy Haseo. Its good to see you again. ^_^ You'll get dragged into the plot sometime soon. Kaori and I has idea. :3)

Steve watched as the 20 came up and laughed. "You have a 24 Initiative. So your character will go first. ANd I have no objections to LARPing. These two might not want to, but that's their right. If you want me to, I guess I could," Steve said as he turned bright red and took everyone's initiative. "Normally, a natural 20, when you roll a 20 on the d20, means a critical hit or success. In the case of initiative, it doesn't mean that much, but in combat, it means you do more damage," Steve stated as he looked at the field. "And with that, Tinon, you said your character's name was I think; you're up."

"You've played Tactical Role Playing games, I'm sure. The map basically translates your move into squares. You can move twenty feet in the armor you're wearing, so you can move four squares. There is, conveniently, an enemy four squares from you, so you can move up and make your attack roll, cast a spell from where you are, or; ya know, anything you think you would do," Steve stated with a nod and a slight smile. His friends had already caught on, and he was super embarrassed about everything going on. He just had to keep it together.

Alice then moved her figurine four squares towards the enemy, upon stopping, Alice then rolled the dice and got an 18, "Okay, does that mean I do 18 points of damage?" she asked.

"Nope, that means you hit the enemy though. Your total was a 29 vs. the enemies ARmor Class. Armor class is basically the number you need to roll to hit them," Steve said as he handed her a d8, standing over her shoulder to try and help her. "You roll that to determine your damage. You roll the eight sided dice and add 5 to your roll to get your damage," he stated with a nod. He knew the other two were looking, but he merely kept his cool. It was all he could do at this point.

Alice then rolled the Dice and got a 5, "Okay, 5+5=10, 10 damage." Said Alice.

*Elsewhere*
"Nearly..... There......" said Yuuya, he was busy painting a yellow Type-00F, he planed on giving it to somebody, "Aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnddddddd........ Done!" he said Triumphantly as he took a good look at the yellow painted Type-00F, "Well, time to hit the sack." he said as he closed the lights and left the model to dry.

Steve nodded and smiled as he marked it down. "Okay, Neko's next." Several rounds of combat went on as the battle was fierce, albeit one sided. "Okay, so there is one target left. She's gonna attempt to begin her escape into the ruined city on the plane of Shadows. Its your turn, Tinon. If she escapes, she could warn your enemies and they could prepare for your assault on Dire Citadel. But she has most of her hit points, so this is going to be tricky," STeve noted. THe enemy did have thirty hit points left. This was, if nothing else, going to be a test of if the players had good luck.

Z chuckled. "Not quiet. You made a critical hit. That means, with your spear, you do three times that damage. You do 39 damage," Z stated as he patted the girl on the back and removed the enemy miniature from the board. "And with that, an eerie silence falls over the ruins of the town. You have defeated the Fetchlings," Steve stated with a nod as he looked at the clock. "Unfortunately, I'm going to have to suggest ending this game here. Its about three in the morning and some of us have class tomorrow," Z stated as he adjusted his hood.

Neko and Kale packed up their bags and gave their passing farewells as Steve smiled at Alice. "I'll walk you home, if that's all right. I know you don't need anyone to keep you safe, but it'd be my honor if you let me," he stated with a nod and a smile. "Plus, it'll give you time to tell me about your LARPing idea."

"Oh you know, just pretend to be adventurers, with actual combat, non-lethal of course, with magic being decided by rolls, and those who can't fight can just do it by dice rolling." said Alice, "My dad can convince some people to play along too." she added, "Any idea's you want to add to it?" she asked.

Steve tapped his cheek with amusement as he listened to her. "You're a very interesting person. You're first time roleplaying using dice and you already want to set up a giant game of it." He couldn't help but laugh. "I think… I recall now why I enjoyed serving as your team's tactician," he stated with a nod. "As for my ideas, maybe keep it somewhat localized. Maybe just like a gymnasium or something at first, and expand it if that goes well. FInd people dice partners, a person to roll and a person to play; and from there, we'll see how it goes. Could be enjoyable," Steve stated with a nod.

"Anyway, we should get you home. If your dad doesn't gun me down at the door for getting you home so late, I"m sure we'll see each other again," Steve stated with a smile.

"It's alright, I can take care of myself." Said Alice as she walked to the door, or, what's left of it, she then withdrew a checkbook and wrote something, she then handed it to Steve, on it, were 10 digits, "For the door, I got my first checkbook the day after my birthday, my dad gave me a heck of a lot of money, compared to what I just wrote to you, that's Chump change." she added as she left.

Steve ripped the check up and chuckled. "I'm not friends with you for money, nor do I want it. The door isn't a problem at all, I'm just surprised you found me. I didn't think you'd ever want to see me again, that's all," Steve stated as he smiled at her. "And I guess you don't want me to walk you back. Well, I figured it was worth offering," he said as he patted her on the back. "Trust me, I never doubted your ability to deal with other people to keep yourself safe, its just nice having someone around sometimes," he stated with a few nods of his head.

"Did you have fun tonight?"

"Yeah, it was great," she said, "So, I can get it started by tomorrow, it's a long weekend after all." she added, "You know, about your message, I like you, but as a friend, I'm kinda going through something right now, well, it's been going on since high school, but nevermind that, so, you up for it tomorrow?" asked Alice concerning the LArping.

"Yep, that's what I was prepared to hear," he muttered quietly to himself. Those were the words, in reality, he HADN'T wanted to hear, but he knew they would come eventually. "I was hoping you wouldn't bring that up, but yes, I'm ready for tomorrow. WHen you ask, I'll be there," He said with a sigh as he cracked his fingers and sighed. "For now, I've got some writing to do. Have a good evening," he said as he adjusted his hood.

"Have a good evening as well" said Alice as she left for home, unaware, she was being watched.

"I'm home!" announced Alice as she entered the house, a servant got her jacket and her shoes, she went to her dad's office and told him of her LArp, at first he didn't quite get it, she she had to explain it from the top, in the end, he agreed to it and made some calls, she then went upstairs to her bedroom to catch some sleep.

*The next morning*
Alice woke up, took a bath, and went down for breakfast, she had some bacon with soft-boiled eggs, her mother went out of town for some sort of convention, and her dad was nowhere to be seen, a maid however gave Alice a letter from her father, on it, it said, "go to the local sports complex, wear your outfit and bring your friend Steve along.", with that, Alice went to get her Tinon outfit.

Steve sat quietly and tossed a few different dice up and down. Writer's block. This is why he HADN'T wanted her to say anything. He sighed melancholically as he stared at the screen. He had more campaign to make… but he had lost it all last night. Perhaps the death of his hope had crushed whatever secret desire he had of being accepted. He shrugged and dropped the dice.

"Well this sucks," he mumbled as he shifted in his chair and spun around. "I guess I'll… figure something out?" he asked himself aloud. Thoughts drifted in and out of his head about the madness he may be going through. "Last I checked, I had no intentions of worshipping the Outer Gods or the God of End times… so I should be fine," STeve said in a failed attempt at humor… and a simple, sad sigh left his lips. "I hate long weekends."
