A spruiker stands outside a tent at a medieval carnival, shouting out to the crowd. "Come brave warriors from lands afar. Test your courage in The Maze of magic. Come the wise. Test your mind against the challenges of The Maze of mystery. Find the centre and claim a worthy prize, or get lost and find yourself food for the goblins. This is not a task for the faint of heart. Come in a group or come on your own, you shall find a challenge either way." The spruiker stops momentarily to see if anyone shows interest.

(NOTE: Only the players may post in this thread)

Several people step forward:

Speed - 4
Agility - 6
Magic - 1
Detect - 1
Luck - 7

Starting items:
Dagger, lockpick, potion.

Zorgoth "Zor" Heimdal(LordAbyssion) HP: 20

Stats

Strength 2
Dexterity 6

Magic 5

Raem brought Zorgoth to the mysterious Maze, where he would meet his biggest challenges yet........

Spectre found him lost, confused and alone in the maze, so Spectre thought he'd be nice and let Zorgoth join in with the others. This part is true regardless of what Zorgoth tells you.

Speed - 6

himself, that is probably the reason he keeps to himself. He uses
nothing but his sword, named Cerberus.

The Spruiker asks, "Do you wish to enter together?" Most of the group replies with a mild "Whatever."
The Spruiker opens the flap of the tent, "Then please enter, just go straight through."
The party enters the tent, which is pitch black, but they can see another opening a short way off, and the party continues on to it, each member trying to show the others that they're not afraid of this. The party reaches the exit, and they step out into the light.

The party stands in a clearing amidst a forest, the trees encroach tightly on either side of the clearing, there seems to be a single small path leading through it at the opposite end of the clearing.

In the middle of the clearing is a tree stump. On the stump sits a person, with long red hair. The person is facing away from the party.

What you do next is up to you.

Alvaur didn't wait for the others to say anything. He just simply did a few flips untilll he got behind the man. He tapped the man's shoulder and said, "Excuse me."

The man turned, "Ahh, another group." The man stood up, then stepped onto the stump and from there addressed the party, "Welcome, I am Spectre, and this is my forest. At it's centre is a very nice treasure, which I'm sure you would all love to take, but the path there will be dangerous. If you are concererned with keeping your lives, I would suggest you turn back now." All he got was a couple of 'hmphs' and with a small grin he continued. "I see you will go on, so allow me to give you some small advice."

"Firstly, think first, act second, there's nothing preventing you from discussing how to solve a puzzle with the rest of your party. Second, be clear in what you intend to do, if you are not clear, you may end up doing something you did not intend. Third, I have no intention of simply letting you take the treasure, so be on your gaurd, however I am an honourable man, so I shall not make it unfair."

"I bid you farewell for now, but I shall be watching. May we see each other again at the end." Spectre bowed, "Oh, and one last thing, I suggest you stick to the path." then he vanished.

What you do next is up to you.

*Vincent just casually watched the man Spectre and mentally noted everything he said, then Vincent saw a small light coming from the ground, he walked over to it and saw that it was a shield that was reflecting the light, the dead body was buried up to his face, it seemed like he got into quick sand, Vincent looked around to see if there was quick sand anywhere, but there was none around* "there is more than meets the eye in this forest" he said softly to himself so no one else could hear. *Vincent walks back to the party and continues to walk behind them*

Alvaur kept ahead of the rest of the group. He just kept flipping and doing handstands and anything else he was inspired to do. Many times people compared his spirits to those of a child. He then rolled and landed facing backwards and yelled out, "Are we there yet?"

"Relax guys." Alvaur said as he continued flipping. "I rarely just walk anyway. I'll be fine." He noticed their furrowed brows and sighed, "Alright..." He then started walking but with a little bit of a skip to his step.

Rajaion, getting tired of Alvaur's antics, casts shell. A silver-blue bubble forms around Alvaur, and stops. [just a hint, nut your supposed to run into the shell]

The party walks along the forest trail, displaying an absolutely amazing sense of team spirit:P
After a short while, they come to another clearing. Two large trees stand tall, their branches high from the ground. A number of birds sing as they fly around, and some cats skitter away at the oncoming party. At the other end of the clearing is a door. The door is strange because while it blocks the forest trail, there is no barrier to either side of the door.


@dg, I was copypasting, missed out the pic, I'll put it up now.

@SuFa, I am quite sure I didn't leave any bodies lying around, keep your forest tidy I say, clean up the litter I say:P
Quicksand.....hmm, hadn't thought of that yet:twisted:

Alvaur turned the door knob, but nothing happened, it was locked. There were two keyholes in the door. There was a key holder on a little tree nearby, but there were no keys.


After the party has entered The Maze I'll throw a challenge at you, be it a puzzle or a dangerous creature, then each player posts what they're going to do about it, then I'll post the results.The rules

"Maybe it's at the top of the tree!" exclaimed Alvaur excited and tried to jump up to the branches.

(((Oh I get it now. We do ANYTHING and if you edit/delete messages to make it go as planned. I guess that gives my posts a little free will. I beleive my agilty amount lets me do what I just did)))

alx: No, you just tell me what you're going to try to do, I'll fill in the rest with me own posts, otherwise I'll have to edit ALL your posts. And if anybody followed your original post, as Vaton did, then I would have to delete their posts.

Alvaur jumped up into the branches of the tree, but as he got higher, the birds screeched at him, warningly.
Nitus meanwhile wasn't having any luck finding anything odd.
The cats had calmed down and were sitting around the clearing staring at the party.

Alvaur, hopping from branch to branch, spotted a few nests, each belonging to a different bird, one was a parrot nest, another was a crows nest, and there was also a hawks nest. As Alvaur tried to reach the nests, the birds screeched, and a large swarm of birds swooped at him from every direction. As Alvaur was assaulted by beaks and claws, he couldn't keep his balance and fell to the ground, taking with him a number of scratches (-1hp for bird attack, -2hp for fall).  The birds, having successfully defended their nests, went back to their singing.

Nitus tries to sneak up on a cat, but even with his stealth the cats sixth sense noticed him, and the cat fled to one of the large trees, disappearing around it's roots.

"I got it." Rajaion casts shell on the cat. A silver-blue bubble forms around the cat, which happens to be running at the moment, and the cat bumps into the shell and meows. "Was that good enough?"

With a wave of his hand, Rajaion creates a small hole in the side of the shell. Not big enough for a cat to get out, but big enough for an arm to get in. "Happy?"

Alvaur hand found the cat, but he couldn't get a grip. The cornered cat lashed out, biting the hand which scared it (-1hp). Alvaur made several more attempts, without further injury, and through sheer speed managed to get the grip he needed.


How exactly does one grab a cat's mouth? I would have thought the teeth would have gotten in the way.

It's possilbe with two hands. I do it with my dog a lot. One IS possible but much harder. ------------------------------------------- Alvaur said "Got it!" and tried to get his hands over the teeth into the cat's mouth.

Alvaur searched the cats mouth, but was so surprised to not find anything that his grip loosened and the cat was able to close it's jaws on his fingers (-1hp).

The cat, now free of Alvaur's grip, skitters away to disappear in the tree's roots.

Alette sighs and starts to draw a key to her book. "How about a shield over someone who can climb to a tree?" --------------------------------------- I'm not saying it will lead to anything, she's just bored :lol: I haven't really figured out what to do with a relatively blind character :P
