Thunder....Lightning.....

The booming of the thunder jolted Crysania awake. At first, she struggled to get her bearings...but then a flash of lightning erupted seemingly all around her, along with a sensation of falling...

Am I having a nightmare? Or am I in the netherworld?

Her thoughts were panicked, and suddenly she jumped as she felt a hand grasp her.

Voqw9W1.jpg
"Easy my lady" said the firm voice of her...guardian.

Yes...guardian. She did not dare give him any other name as her memories returned along with the knowledge of her impending doom!

A blast of frigid mountain air startled her, juxtaposed as it was with another flash of lightning and soundless thunder that shook her to her core. She told herself once more to be strong...for herself and for Xin. From the window she saw the grey peak that was to be her tomb, to be imprisoned there until she died of starvation and disease, humiliated and humbled, with not even her dignity nor her senses remaining, all the while tortured by the thoughts of those who had sentenced her to this blasted fate.

Swiftly the airship landed, the jolt rattling her teeth. The guards kicked in the door with weapons drawn. "Out witch. Your dungeon awaits...if ye be innocent of yer crimes, ye should have nothing to fear."

The grizzled warrior tried to say it with a leering smile, but Crysania could see the fear in his eyes, feel it in the tremor in his voice. She felt Xin tense, she knew what he thought. That together they could take out the guards and make away with the ship. It would be foolishness, there were too many guards and, just as importantly if not more so, they were prepared for any such action. No doubt crossbows would skewer them if they tried an escape. She would not give her jailers nor their masters the opportunity of seeing her cut down like a dog.

As they were led out into the freezing night air atop the peak of feared MOUNT GRIMROCK, where the most hardened and vile of criminals were deposited to die a slow tortuous death, another shock awaited her. There were two other prisoners....and one of them was a massive brute of a Minotaur!

She had barely a chance to glance at them before they were all chained together and told to move forward towards the lip of a massive opening in the mountain-tomb. She could feel the eyes of the guards on her as she walked, their lust and desire clear on their face intermingled with fear and hatred of her rumored power.

Witch...Daemon Spawn...The Crimson Lady...Sorceress...Whore....

She knew what they thought. It was what they all thought when they gazed at her...

s2Y5GNV.jpg


The Minotaur roared defiantly as they were gathered at the lip. Xin stood silently, though his body was tensed, a coiled spring waiting to explode with furious power. The last member of their 'crew' however, stood silently, his eyes closed and head raised to the sky. She suddenly felt a tingle run down her spine that had nothing to do with the cold, or her fear of what awaited inside the depths of GRIMROCK.

Whatever the captain of the guards yelled out was lost in the howling wind, and then they were shoved inside.

And so we being folks! Here is a teaser of the next update (hopefully in a day or so rather than next weekend), when the game (and the LARPING) gets underway. Thanks for your patience.

That's it? The LP isn't even started yet. :decline:
If you'd LPd the entire first level, then you could claim you'd started this thing. As is, you're just stalling for time. :rpgcodex:

I think it's pretty obvious by now it was a ploy. Especially since he posted the intro twice and keeps asking to be unwitzed.

And we are back! Like the Backstreet Boyz.
The party of prisoners had just been incarcerated into the foreboding Mount Grimrock, a place from which none escaped!
FIzFLj8.jpg

The prisoners are as follows:
Rakeesh, the mighty Minotaur Warrior! He specializes in axes, and wearing armor the easier for him to plow into his foes and go toe to toe with them, until they are ripped into pieces.
TNcxpg2.jpg

XgNFga0.jpg

Xin, a mysterious monk from the far East. He chooses to wield no weapon nor wear any armor, for that is because his own body is a living weapon. Introspective to a fault, his training in the Eastern martial arts gives him snake like speed and blows that hit like charging rhinoceros.
LMqCN75.jpg

QtLil7B.jpg

Then we have Crysania, the beautiful and seductive courtesan of the Empire. She had just been inducted into the court to be the Concubine of the Emperor, but the evil Vizier detected that she had within her the taint of a daemon, and declared her to be an assassin plotting to bewitch and kill the Emperor. He did not know how right he was, for Crysania's family was slaughtered by the Emperors troops many years ago, and she lusts for revenge. Making a pact with a Demon, she was granted power over the element of fire. Now she must escape Grimrock and take revenge for the wrong done to her.
ehEKB3G.jpg

qMnSlCe.jpg

Lastly, the mysterious Erasmus the Eternal, a powerful Aeromancer with dark arts and darker intentions. The less known about him the better.
LCQWOtm.jpg

ofGbpWH.jpg

After only a few minutes of deliberation, the four prisoners decide to combine their respective talents to increase their chances of survival and escape.
First, they investigate their surroundings, and see that they are in a dank dungeon with only one apparent exit.
nhB1XFj.jpg

As they start to move, Erasmus detects something unusual about the wall near to them. Walking over he presses a cunningly camouflaged button and wall slides open.
MYW7xwa.jpg

A secret trove! Who could have left this pair of quality boots here?
c2T4Ixv.jpg

While the others marvel at the craftsmanship of the statue, Xin recogonizes the boots as those worn by the master assassins of the Moth Brotherhood, erstwhile foes and sometimes allies of his order. He tries them on and finds that they fit, muffling all sound he makes yet also providing him with a firm grip on the slick stone slabs of the dungeon floor.
sov8Saz.jpg

They make their way to the iron grate barring the exit and come across a riddle carved into the stone slabs. Erasmus the Eternal, master of archaic tongues long forgotten translates for the others. Unknown to him, the daemon hidden inside of Crysania too translates the language for her, but she chooses to keep this a secret. For now.
HiYCmBk.jpg

Rakeesh picks up the flickering torch from the sconce, intending to use it not only as a source of light but as a potential weapon should need arise. They then open the grate and cautiously move forward. The chamber gives with to a long passageway, and after a few twists and turns they realize the entire cavernous complex of Mount Grimrock would be similar in fashion. Whichever civilization had carved these tunnels into the underbelly of the mountain was long forgotten, their reasons lost to the mists of time. The place was riddled with side passages, hidden tunnels, and canny motors and undoubtedly traps as well.
0JInoCI.jpg

Sometime later they came across a grate with a keyhole to the side. It was locked.
srJYqju.jpg

After searching in a side passage, Erasmus detected another secret door and within they found a key!
YUHpQs2.jpg

Rakeesh was delighted to find a weapon hidden away in a niche in the wall, and eagerly picked it up, testing the weight. It was a crude stone hammer, and it would serve for now until he got hold of something better. Hopefully a massive 2 handed steel axe!
2VkXVsX.jpg

Returning to the locked grate, they opened it with the key and proceeded onwards. This seemed far easier than they had dared hope! Those hopes however were dashed as they rounded a corner and saw a massive, disgusting slug!
NNtil0D.jpg

It rushed towards them before they could act, but lucking Rakeesh's battleinstincts took over and the massive minotaur chopped at the creature with his crude stone hammer!
0n1zRca.jpg

His blow bounced off the creatures shell, which was hard as rock. As it opened it's maw to bite the minotaurs arm off though, Xin switched into a martial arts stance and snapped off a swift and focused palm kick at the creatures jaw, cracking it's head to the side.
zhhaDnJ.jpg

The demon blood within Crysania sang a bittersweet song of destruction and ruin, and she quickly traced the outline of a secret and devastatingly powerful rune of fire in the air. There was a whoosh of air as it was sucked from the chests of Rakeesh and Xin and they instinctively ducked as a blast of scorching fire erupted from Crysania's palms and tore into the slug!
y5Ci1dn.jpg

It hissed in pain, it's flesh melting and erupting in sores. Erasmus made a quick gesture with a hand and a crackling blot of lightning ripped into the creature and it crashed to the floor, it's corpse twitching as it was devoured by hungry flames.
The four adventurers looked at each other, silently acknowledging each others talents and acknowledging also, that this would be the greatest trial any of them had ever faced. It was doubtful they would get out alive, but they knew they had to give it their all, or perish deep within the bowels of Mount Grimrock!

After a short hiatus, the edge of your seat quest to escape GRIMROCK continues!

5eDKyWY.jpg


The canny prisoners cum adventurers come across strange writing scribbled on the dank dungeon wall. Crysania and the power aeromancer both attempt to decipher it...

Q4inWdc.jpg


Aha! It warns of a canny pit trap straight ahead. How will the adventurers proceed now?

U1WUJtT.jpg


Stupendous. The swift thinking monk triggers the trap with a cunningly throw piece of rock.

UKWNC7t.jpg


A secret item of dubious power.

VqfvAey.jpg


All that tomfoolery has attracted a weird denizen of the deeps

flHd2V2.jpg


The party attempts to sneak away but using strange senses it detects them easily.

m3m8Sah.jpg


In desperation, Crysania calls upon her daemon magick, annihlating the oppressor. Unfortunately, such dangerous arts are oft a two edged blade, with no hilt. She and her party members pay the price for power in burnt flesh. Crysania's demon blood protects her from the worst of the hell fire, a fact that is not lost upon her party members. Secretly they wonder, whether she works with them or against them, on behest of her daemon masters.

U0HTLoA.jpg


The party comes across another scullywog and destroy it.

XsFdZHW.jpg


What's this then?

yDRrbVE.jpg


Turned out to be a sorcerous teleporter trap that took them to nasties. A powerful undead skeleton warrior, the praetorian guard to a lich king in the ancient world. Thankfully the party is not without power of it's own, and afte a titanic battle, it is destroyed.

PT2U1JF.jpg


A puzzle guards the door behind the destroyed skeleton warrior.

gJ2H2xc.jpg


It guards ancient secrets that now belong to the party.

gqrbeqg.jpg


The end of the dungeon level approaches. This crystal contains ancient magic the party can tap for healing purposes.

a2fXFF0.jpg


The party intrepidly enters the second level of the dungeon. They are closer to escaping, but surely the dangers they face will only grow. Will they make it, or will their skeletons adorn the twisted passageways of Grimrock for all eternity?

Until next time fair (and foul) readers! Assuming the earth survives the coming nuclear holocaust about to be unleashed upon the terrorist and rogue state of JewIsrael, their western puppets (and the fake ISIS brigade created by Mossad to turn attention away from Israel's genocide of a peaceful people, and to turn Christians against Muslims yet again), by the Eurasian Caliphate.

DarkUnderlord It's a pain to post when being witzed. It took me the better part of an hour just to upload this AFTER writing/pasting links to all the shit above. Unwitz me plx so I can continue this magnificent LP.
