Game: Hermaeus Mora's Labyrinth

[Musicman247]

Hermaeus Mora has chosen 12 of the greatest minds in all of Tamriel to put their wits to the test. His labyrinth is set with traps, not physical, but mental. The twelve have agreed to forfeit their life for the chance of gaining a look at the Oghma Infinium and increasing their own power on this plane of existence.

The twelve will enter the maze together, voting as a group which way they should go. Each time they come upon a dead end they must answer a riddle or puzzle. Each person will answer individually. Those who answer correctly will have their way unblocked. Those who fail the test will lose their lives, becoming a ghost in Apocrypha, condemned to seek out knowledge for all eternity.

Rules:

Spoiler:

- Only 12 people allowed in the game at a time.
- You may role play as any kind of character you would like.
- The maze is real. I’m not making it up as I go along. There is one correct way to go that leads through the maze without any dead ends. That means that any number of people can win.
- Directions to go through the maze must be agreed upon by a majority of those playing. Once everyone has voted, the Moderator will let the group know if they have moved ahead or run into a dead end.
-The directions are based on your options in the maze. There is no “turn around”, just left, right or forward.
- Answers to riddles will be PM’d to me. You get one answer per riddle. Those who answer correctly move on; those who do not, die. You may make up your own death if you would like, or I can make it up for you.
- Riddles/Puzzles will be solvable without having to know a lot of Elder Scrolls lore. They will be more like brain teasers.
- You will have 48 hours to vote on a direction to go in the maze, and another 48 hours to answer any riddles/puzzles.

The game has finished!

[OblivionDuruza]

I'm interested, and I think I should be able to manage the commitment. I'm thinking I'll play as an Altmer character, and assuming there wont need to be any real lengthy Character Sheet?

[ArgonianDunmer]

I'm also interested

[MARS]

Count me in.

[Musicman247]

Excellent! You are all in. 9 spots left.

Spoiler:

No lengthy sheet needed. Your character can have as little or as much depth as you would like.

[Leilah]

If it won't be a problem that I can only check in like once a day, I'd like to play.

[Musicman247]

If it won't be a problem that I can only check in like once a day, I'd like to play.

That should be fine. Only a majority of players need to vote on which direction to go, and if you hit a dead end we won't progress until everyone has answered...within a reasonable amount of time, of course.

[Leilah]

Yesss. Thank you.

So anyways. My character will be called Leilah, and she's a Breton. Um. Yeah. That is all.

[Greenlantern]

Sounds interesting, count me in!

[Musicman247]

Sounds interesting, count me in!

Then you're in!

[Frost Mage]

Awesome! I'm in!

[Arch-Mage Matt]

I'll join. I'll make a character later...

[Musicman247]

Awesome! Welcome!

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Seven people... I'm IN! I'll be an Imperial, by the name of Atomius.

Name: Atomius
Age: 30
Race: Imperial
Gender: Male
Personality: Full of retorts, he likes to talk, and is knowledgeable in the persuasion arts, like most stereotypical Imperials. Betraying at times, and he loves power, so he can blackmail all he wants in his perspective to get authority.

[Musicman247]

And we are down to 4 slots left!

[Deandra]

I'll join! Are we doing any RP, or is it purely a game? (As in, should I make a charsheet?)

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Spoiler:

No lengthy sheet needed. Your character can have as little or as much depth as you would like.

I'm making a very short char sheet, but who cares.

[Kerr]

I'll join as a Breton male called Kerr.

[Musicman247]

that makes 10!

[Frost Mage]

Here's my sheet!
Race: Khajiit
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Personality: Quiet, very intelligent. Manipulative at times.

[Deandra]

Name: Deandra
Race: Altmer
Age: 389
Personality: There's a reason she has lived so long--she's extremely fainthearted, and her cowardice combines well with her sense of self-preservation over all other concerns. For this reason, she avoids conflict of any kind unless there is a clear advantage to be had by taking a side.

[ZeRoc]

I would like to join, I'm not sure how this game will work though, but I'll figure it out.

Name: Zorok How many corruptions of my username are there?
Race: Orc
Age: He lost count after 12
Background: He isn't quite the smartest of all the people in the labyrinth, but he can certainly think fast. He wants to learn more to impress a young Orc woman, who doesn't even know he exists. He is somewhat of a bumbling oaf.

Spoiler:

I'll probably go down in the first room, but hey, I gotta try.

[Musicman247]

One more slot! If you know someone who enjoys riddles who isn't in yet, let them know! This is probably going to be a fast-moving game, so the next one won't take forever to start up...if there is a next one. Guess that depends on how this one goes.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

I call going right!

[Arch-Mage Matt]

My character sheet.

Name: Matt
Race: Imperial
Age: 80
Bio: A famous scholar from the Imperial city, Matt is here because he desperately wishes to gain the secret to immortality before it is too late.

Yes, another old cranky man.
