Rising Heroes, M4S's new RPG

The year is 264. Not 264 years since the beginning of time, 264 years since some random person invented a calendar. Most parts of the world know little more than what's nearby, as travel is quite dangerous. Beasts and villains reside in the uncivilized regions between the relative safety of towns. Messengers travel with armed guards to make sure they arrive alive, and few adventurers survive beyond their first or second trip. One thing's for certain: no one expects great heroes to come and solve all of their problems.

Unfortunately, the village of Faelet could use a hero or two. It's town guard may be enough to keep goblins from invading, but it has become too dangerous for merchants to send goods through the goblin-infested plains. Faelet has supplies enough to survive for a while, though the lack of trade from nearby towns will eventually lead to the village's destruction.

You play as a human from Faelet, one who might just have what it takes to be a hero...


Stats:

HP: Hitpoints. If these hit 0 you die, losing half your unspent EXP and half your gold. (If you were part of a team and at least 1 player survives, no one loses gold.)
AP: Ability points. Use these to activate abilities.
Att: Attack power.
Def: Defense. If your defense > enemy's attack, you take no damage!
Mag: Magic power; the attack stat of magic.
Res: Magic resistance; defense against magic.

Equipment can be used to boost your stats. Weapons and (to a lesser extent) armor are more common than they were in TCP!

~CHARACTERS~

I'm keeping track of character stats myself. Letting players do it themselves in TCP didn't make updating any easier...

~THE WORLD~

Click on the link above to see a map of the starting continent.

The southern plains of the Soulend continent is home to the towns of Faelet and Sael, as well as a number of goblins plotting the destruction of Faelet. The east has the village of Necrator and Necrator Swamp, which share more than just a name. They also share an undead population, though the ones in the swamp are much less friendly than the ones residing in the town. West of the mountains spans a desert, though an oasis town provides supplies to travelers who survive the trip. The capital, Tralis, is known for it's arena, where champions from around the land travel to test their skills.

West of Faelet, an abandoned farm was claimed by a band of goblins. After a trio of heroes killed thier leader, the goblins abandoned it, leaving only Larklor vines to inhabit the farm. The only building that remains standing is the barn.


-Port City of Sael-

This city has struggled recently, as pirates have made life difficult for ships in the area. Because of the pirates, ships have stopped leaving port altogether. Other businesses have remained open; of note, an inn (10 G per night), an armory, a magic shop, and a general store.

-Shrine of Chaos-

At the southern end of the continent is a strange temple. Outside, five statues of unusual beasts welcome visitors: a plant (Ark'thugal's name is carved in the statue), a dragon, a squid, a whale, and a skeleton. Inside is a large room with a pedestal with an inscription and five indentations, one containing a glowing, green orb. A door on the back wall allows access to a dangerous battle. The pedestal's inscription reads:

"Be warned, these doors allow access to other worlds for the purpose of fighting great beasts. Stepping through the door creates a copy of the destination, and it is in this temporary 'copy dimension' that you will do battle without harming the other world's ecosystem. Be warned, this means that each time the door is stepped through, it will be a new copy, so if you and a friend step through, you'll be in seperate fights."

Bosses here must be soloed and can be fought more than once. Only the first to kill a boss here gets its item drop. Death has no penalty here.


-City of Tralis-

-Northern Underpass-

A tunnel through the mountain, it allows passage between the scorching western deserts and the city of Tralis. Monsters reside in the darkness, though, and it's unlikely that travelers will be able to make the trip without a fight. An Inn (20 G) exists outside near the northwestern end, allowing weary travelers to rest either before or after the trip through the underpass.


-Necrator Village-

Necrator is a place where both the living and dead reside. A necromancer tried to use this village as a recruiting ground, but the dead he raised here were uncooperative, wanting to stay and return to what they did in life. The living run the magic shop, and a general store; the undead run the inn (10 G lolwut) and the armory. If Xander's parting words are to be taken seriously, evil may lurk within the village...

-Necrator Swamp Caverns-

South of Necrator Village is a swamp. One of the caves was used as a hideout for a necromancer named Xander before he was killed by a group of heroes. Death didn't stop him, however; he and his army have (mostly) vacated the caverns. The soil has absorbed his necromatic magics, so things that die here begin their undeath here.

You're in the village of Faelet. It's facilities are discribed in the ~THE WORLD~ post. You can visit a store, or try heading out of the village and into the plains, where goblins will probably pick a fight.

Brada: >_< I miscalculated...you can't survive this fight as is, even with your herb. Goblin 1 runs on the first turn he gets. You kill Goblin Runt 2 9 turns later, taking 8 more damage in the process. You get 7 exp and 4 gold, as well as the goblin's weapon. You have 5 HP remaining now.

Just a note: If you team up with another player, EXP isn't split; all players get the full amount. However, Gold is split evenly among combatants and items are given to whoever lands the kill, unless the team agrees otherwise.



EDIT: Brada posted as I was updating. His update's in this post.

DIE RUNT!!!

I'll go for the second runt first. He's more dangerous m i rite?

Brada: 3 damage per turn means 4 turns to kill means you take...gah, forgot to give it a weapon. 4 G/7 EXP.

Can I equip that Battleaxe during the fight? I will if I can, then I'll end this fight by killing off the last Goblin Runt, then I'll run into the acadamy and demand more defense. Then I will... Yeah, I can. Rest at the inn. >_>

Rob: Changing equipment mid-fight would take a turn. So I'll assume you don't prior to the slaughter of the goblin, which nets you another 4 gold and 7 exp. You spend 9 EXP to gain 1 Def. The stay at the Inn restores you.

Killzors the other goblin

And then equip the sword I took from the first one.

Then spend 9 exp to increase def by one, then find more things to kill.

Everyone: It seems that the goblins are coming from the west. While training on them in the plains near Faelet is fine, once you feel strong enough perhaps you should investigate...

I'll kill the runts first, then the raider. If I'll survive.

Rob: Runt 1 attacks, hitting 0. Raider War Cries. Violence ensues until end of battle. (See character post for end-of-battle stats)

go back to town and do stuff

Do you expect me to ever buy things, if I keep spending all my money to rest at the inn?

My action is in bold.

Brada: What kind of "stuff"?

Rob: Yeh, inn prices are too high...*cuts price to 15G*

I want a single point boost to attack and defense, then I want another fight.

spend exp to get to lvl 3

As I see it, you spend exp on STATS, not your level itself.

Although I'd like to suggest a level system be kinda added in somehow... To more distinguish different players. Like, say, if your total stats add up to a certain amount... Or how much exp you've spend reaches a set point...

Look for stuff to battle.

Rob: Stats improved, battle below. I decided not to use a level system in this RPG. Oh, speaking of your fight, Runt #2's bow let him shoot you as the fight began.

I'm killing that mage first. The rest don't matter, but if I can't survive it, I'll get that archer second.

Brada: Stats cost the amount of the stat x2 +1 to raise. So if you had 6 Def, you'd spend 13 exp to raise it by 1. Though HP/AP worries me.

Go out and fight

Attack the Raider until it stops living.
