this thread is an rpg but instead of tweaking your constitution vs anal circumfrence stats the only stuff in your character sheet is like if you're a wizard or not or if you have a sword or whatever.

The rules & roles are completely made up and have been made up since before part 1 when I think Applewhite started a thread to post about how dumb d&d is

Feel free to shitpost about how goofy rpgs are & stuff like that, you don't have to actually play.

P much you can pick if you wanna be an oldschool wizard who can do any spells, or like a half and half who can only do one "style" of spells, or a fully fighting mans who doesn't have spells.
And then pick 3 skills and you have the equipment to do it or w/e

if you don't pick any of that just describe ur guy and i'll create your sheet it'll be fine

Currently the party is basically nowhere near where the thread started and would have to walk for ~3 months to get back

the Free City of Frigg

Yup Frigg, the richest and most cultured and best city in the world! And the old fat elf Stendrig, on the actual board of directors! And he's right on the other side of the door!

"Well send them in! We can't have this critical job waiting all day!"

ok post a pic of your guy and what your deal is

A butler waves you in and Stend is like :hmmyes:


This is the deal:
The company needs a crack team of inexpensively paid heroes to send a CRITICAL PACKAGE across the continent to Xoma, the holy city. Probably they're tolerating an obviously trashed dude because everyone knows the City of Saints has every kind of cult to exist in the whole world and a monk of anything is an in.

In exchange for this super easy and not deadly task whoever signs up will get an an expense account for whatever supplies they need, as well as INCREDIBLY VALUABLE STOCK OPTIONS

:eyepop:

Yeah that's gotta be worth like a hundred bucks or something!

"Completely land based I assure you! In fact you could end up travelling through a scorching desert if you desire!"

He figures these 4 incredibly powerful and affordable adventurers are probably more than enough. If the Board disagrees of course reinforcements will be sent immediately. But speed is of the essence so he slaps a fat contract that looks completely fine and not like a scam.

All you gotta do is sign, go downstairs to procurement and pick up some supplies, and then go pick up the package at the Tinkerers' Guild on the other side of the city. Then a quick jaunt to the next big city over and you'll be into the real bux!

>>The mug of booze waits until said booze is drunk and it is set aside on the table before quickly sprouting a trio of small eyes to scan over the contract as subtly as possible. In a crowded bar it's possible that this goes unnoticed even. After a moment, and somewhat less inconspicuously, it sprouts an arm picks up the pen and scratches the name 'Sam' on the contract before retracting the short lived appendage back into the mug as if nothing had occurred.

>>Perhaps the mimic is hard up for work, desperate for coin or merely desires to leave town quickly given the speed with which they sign up but in any case the deed is done.

>>The mug, after redm puts it down, responds to Roz's question in direct fashion. A couple of small metal legs sprout from it and it hops off the table before expanding in volume to the point of being a large chest.

>>The chest lid flaps open as it speaks "Yeah, can manage that." the mimic replies simply. Those close enough to the chest might notice that when the 'mouth' is open it seems to go down a long, long way into darkness - who knows how much it can actually hold but it looks considerably more than the physical dimensions would suggest.

>>In any case the mimic makes ready to store whatever gear the rest of the group selects.

He looks at the mimic "eh whatever maybe skip the mule."
He draws up a map real quick

"The black dots are towns and the lines are roads. You probably wanna skip the dotted ones cause it'll take drat near forever to go that way. The X is Xoma and the big dot is obviously Frigg. If you want and are insane you could just go east and then cut north but the desert there is cursed by ghosts. If you wanted you could follow the river all the way south and spend a shitload of money to get a boat. Or you could go southeast and take a boat from Zbub. Or go north around the mountains and avoid the desert but it's all barbarians. The quickest way is just take the desert road, it'd be dumb as hell to do anything else."
