For the past few days/week in my free time,Rather than play EFU and get drawn into awesome stories and plots that I do not have time to get drawn into, I have been designing a dungeon.
This dungeon is designed not to test people's abilities to make smashbots and pwn everything in a QA. This dungeon is in fact quite easy when it comes to encounters, even L1's could beat the majority of the monsters in this dungeon.
The dungeon is primarily built to test the mind, it has it's share of puzzles, dangers, moderately heavy scripted doodads and placeables and of course ; Awesome loot. Depending on how fast people can solve the riddles, I would estimate anywhere from one to four hours for completion of the first floor.
Given the plain lack of time I have to run something like this, I'm not sure when I could actually run this, maybe on a weekend. If anyone is interested in something other than a smashfest QA, leave a post here and I'll try to work out a time to host/hold this event.
There is Two floors in total to this dungeon, both of which Will take quite some time to complete and therefore this would need to be divided into at least two events.
I'll roll up a savvy survivalist and join in. Just tell me when Cruzel!
6 int half-orc incoming.
Seriously though, sounds fun. Hook me up with the details when you get it all panned out.
I'd be glad to come if you still like me after I refused to cyb0r with you because I was cyb0ring with Kotenku. :(
Just say when.
Had an unexpected snag, but now that i've ironed it out, I'm pretty much ready, just a few more things to iron out. I will aim for this weekend, probably saturday.
Basic information you will need;
Valid PCs - Any PC who is under level 7 can come. These can be PC's you are playing now on EFU:A, or have played in the past on EFU. I have the ability to edit items IG, and reserve the right to tone down or take any items which may give you an unfair advantage. (uber items, or items a level 7 generally would not have in a low magic low loot world, such as +3 or higher gear, etc.)
Classes accepted ; All. Any class can come, just keep in mind paladins might have a bit of trouble depending on the party who comes.
Subraces ; Should you wish to run through with a subrace PC, either one you are currently playing or if it is a past PC - Or even a new one. Tell me in advance so I can set things up, as for now I do not have a scripted subrace system built into Project Prelude (which is the mod I am using for this) I can set the appearance easily enough IG, but for the racial abilities/stat adjustsments I will need to provide loot granting the appropriate things, which takes time to make. In the interest of having this go smoothely, send me a forum PM for anything like this.
Note - I am asking for a PM, but This is not really an app, I will let you play pretty much whatever race you want, within reason. Just keep in mind I would like this to be somewhat IC, as RPing as you go through a dungeon is much more fun. As such, depending on what you play, you might be attacked by the party.
Old PCs; Since I am allowing local characters, the issue of imbalancing loot is a minor concern. I will quickly screen any local PC for any imbalancing loot or so that will give them an unfair advantage. After being screened,they will be sent back to the welcome area, to wait for the rest of the group.
New PCs; Will start out at Level 5, and be given general supplies one at that class would have at level 5. This will be stock bioware loot, so if you want something fancy you would be better off bringing an existing PC :P
Basic story; Since this is a somewhat IC run, There is naturally a need to explain why you are going into this dungeon. Since the PC's being used may be from different servers, timeframes, etc. Ignore the base continuity issues, otherwise things just get awkward. As for the story outline;
A message carried by frantic messengers is brought far and wide. It speaks of terrible place, a cursed place none have ever returned from. It speaks of a wealthy nobleman's daughter who has gone missing within. The nobleman's message states that any who are able to rescue his daughter will be rewarded with wealth beyond their wildest dreams. Despite the grand promises of the message the messengers seem grim, muttering under their breath half forgotten tales of missing men, monsters from within, a curse from the gods themselves. None are sure exactly what dwells within, or why the daughter was lost. There is much murmering about the call for aid, but what is agreed upon by most is that only the most heroic, or the most foolhardy - Or those just too greedy to care, would ever dream of going to such a place.
Whispers later the next day speak of abductions, people taken during the night. The commoners seem to agree that something must be done, and some even send out messages, offering what little they can afford to rid their land of this terrible curse.
..Days go by, and whispers speak of travellers in the night, heading to the Nobleman's estate. The people hold hope that their saviours have arrived, but only time will tell.
//Anyone who can make it for the weekend and is wanting in, post your availability so a time can be arranged so as many can come as possible. Also, since there is a chance of continuation if you guys can solve the first floor; send me a PM anyways with the class of the PC you intend to play, to save me time in making shiny lewtz.
I am MOST interested in this. I assume it will be a new server, and what might the name of that be?
Anyways. I will be available on Saturday (not Sunday at all, definitely) but it may be later. I'll be about Saturday morning (GMT -6) until about four in the afternoon, and then I'll be back from work about nine thirty. If I get in on this, I'll be playing a halfling sorceror, yet to be named.
Please to be doing this when I can parcipitate?
Sounds intresting, I just may roll Danger back up (just got to re-outfit him. . . .), when's it going?
Give me a time, and I'll be sure to make sure I'm there, depending on how much notice I get.

Filthy lying whore. Get over it.
Furthermore: I may just have to get in on this.
A little preview to what you will run into in this dungeon...

New PC, Wizard.
Cruzel! Don't start this without me! Saturday works fine, at certain parts of the day.
We're going to be fighting lightning clowns, aren't we?
I'll be in with a fighter/weaponmaster (sabre). I can't make Saturday day, only Saturday night.
From now until the time comes -
Chill in #DungeonRunners in IRC. There I will answer any questions - take any subrace requests, get mesh everything out so on saturday we are ready.
Go-time will be whenever we have the most people in the channel on saturday. If you miss it the first time I am more than willing to run this more than once, so don't worry.
The first group has gone through the first part!
Six went in, 3 came out!
Still chilling in #dungeonrunners for those who want a shot!
For the group that finished the first part - Continuation will be soon, I'll keep you posted!
Looks cool, I'd be up for it
