Sign up for this Halloween event to go delve into a disturbing, unknown tomb, with no discernable exit. How did your character get here? Unknown. But they will have to get out.
Looking for 5-10 players.
Max word count for each post: 300.
-------
In this mini-event, you roll a 1d20 to determine the outcome of each stage of the room. The stages are ordered: Investigate, Fight, Avoid, Escape, Traverse. What you roll in one might stack the odds – one way or another – for the next challenge.
It works similarly to skill challenges in DnD 5th edition. The higher you roll, the better the result. The number shown at the end tells you what each roll results in, but you can take artistic liberties in describing and detailing that outcome. You may also add new features to the room, imagining your character’s way out, but to make things interesting, try and stay faithful to whatever you have rolled in a given check. It explains what happens to your character, and if you’re very unlucky, that character might be trapped down here longer than they bargained for . . . and who knows what might happen then?
The design uses advantage and disadvantage from Dungeons & Dragons (2014 rules). Put simply, if you have advantage, you roll two dice and take the best result. If you have disadvantage, you roll two dice and take the worst result. If you have both advantage and disadvantage, they mitigate one another, resulting in a straight roll of one d20 (die 20). You can use the roll function on Discord to make your rolls. Certain character backgrounds and featured player groups have advantage on one particular skill check. Sometimes, you may even subtract 1 or add 1 to your roll if the given effect says as much.
We'll do the rolls in Discord in a dedicated channel. For each stage of this room, players will roll their check and consult a provided list of outcomes, depending on what they roll. It is up to the player to specifically describe this outcome, but try to keep it in line with the atmosphere and tone set by the opening paragraphs.
Sign up below by responding to this thread with the name of the character you want to throw in the ring. And good luck!
