Story:
On July 7th 1947 we discovered that we are not alone in this universe. An alien scouting vessel crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. The newly formed UN set up the Planetary Defense Agency to protect earth against possible invasion from the stars. It is now the 21st of December 1959. For the past week many UFOs have been spotted over earth. They appear to be preparing for a mass invasion. Governments have been passing the sightings off as mass hysteria but it isn't known how long people will believe them. When the sightings first began, East Berlin was evacuated and there has been no contact by anyone on the other side of the iron curtain. The PDA began recruiting new members. You are one such person and are joining the PDA base located in North America. Good luck, the fate of the world is in your hands.

Player Characters

The Dungeon of Eternal Justice
A multiplayer dungeon crawling adventure!


For centuries different factions battled in petty wars and border conflicts, until in 2E 896 Tiber Septim crushed all those who opposed him and took control, proclaiming himself as Emperor. Still, the bitter years of war had its effect on the populace. The name Tamriel, Elvish for 'Dawn's Beauty', seldom fell from anguished lips and was soon forgotten. In a place where life and death were different sides of the same coin tossed every day, the people of the world began calling the land of their sorrow, the Arena...
The Emperor is betrayed by Jagar Tharn, who immediately takes the throne. Manipulating the essence of magic, Tharn prepares to take the true Emperor's place as ruler of the known land. The Imperial Wizard wastes no time in gathering his servants and turning them into twisted counterparts of the Emperors Guard. Tharn's second in order, Dusnir Sales, is sent to a forgotten dungeon, in order to retrieve an artifact capable of summoning Mehrunes Dagon and all of his Daedric horde. Two war heroes, living in different provinces, are awakened after having a dream with a woman named Ria Silmane. They travel to the forgotten dungeon, knowing that a third champion is searching for another artifact, the staff of chaos, they venture onto the dungeons entrance.



This is a multiplayer graphical adventure; that means that most actions will also be represented with a corresponding drawing.
There are two main characters, to be chosen by the first two posts describing them, even though there's only two of them, the amount of players has no limit, everybody can use them, one at a turn, letting others play them also, no player possesses a character.
The turns will be like this:
In one turn, one player can choose one character and assign it one or more actions, so only two players will be able to interact each turn.
Actions taken depend on the time needed to do them; looting a body or resting will take one full turn, while drinking a potion, changing a weapon, attacking a monster or looking at something usually will take less than a turn, thus the player can assign more than one at a time.


General knowledge:
Each character will have an inventory of their own, however, they won't be able to carry many items at once.
Combat, and it's results will be decided by the GM using a system of his own devise, don't ask him about it, it's kinda confusing.
Wounds are wounds, only spells can cure them, so don't rest when wounded. otherwise you can bleed out.
When choosing equipment remember that you'll face traps, locked doors, pits and water.
Death is possible, yet not probable. Restoration is handy, but conjuration can take back your dead partner.
Creatures have weaknesses and strengths, it is good to observe before attacking.
Targeted attacks can be made, with extra chance of failing but a higher outcome if successful.


About the characters:
Two characters will be made and drawn, in order for them to be accepted in the story, they need the following things:
-A name, lore friendly.
-Race, only the normal ones (Dwemer, Falmer, and extinct/non-playable won't go)
-Origin
-Job
-Specialization (Magic,Stealth,Combat)
-A little background story
-Starting equipment, (ONE weapon, Clothing type and armor worn,if any, Potions, and tools).

-Silver: Shortsword, Axe, Spear.
-Elven: Bow, Staff, Throwing knife.
-Dwarven: Crossbow, Axe, Boomerang.
-Ebony: Dagger, Ebony-tipped whip, Knucklers.

Spears and staffs have longer reach, Blunt weapons are slower, yet stronger, Swords are balanced, Axes can deal massive damage or fail massively, Bows are weak but fast, while crossbows are slower but pack the punch, throwing items can get lost, they're deadly. Boomerang is sharp and returns, can get stuck, Daggers are fast an precise, however not always strike in the right places, knucklers depend a lot on physical strength, and whips can immobilize.

You can choose one kind of armor:
Protection=p, Mobility=m
Protection is how much of the damage it absorbs, while mobility is how fine can you move when worn, how agile you are.
-Robe- P:0.5-M:8
-Studded leather- P:2-M:6
-Fur- P:3-M:5
-Light chainmail- P:4-M:4

Conjuration:Summon creatures even from oblivion or bring back those that just departed.
Alteration:The ability to change the nature around the caster.

Please, Don't try to take over a character, let other players have a turn, and if no one takes one, and i specifically say so, you can have a double turn.
Don't send the characters on suicide endeavors, they're shared and other people might want them alive.
I can and will make random happenings, in order to spice up things.
Don't give long turns, fast and easy, one paragraph's enough for me to get an outcome and draw.
Players can join whenever they want, yet it is to know that a whole story has been developing, so reading the whole thing and keeping with what has been done so far is a joining rule; no coming and doing what you just please!
