Solo Rambling Roleplay

Calling The first steps to creating a character for Colostle is to define your characters calling; your character's call to adventure. This defines your external reason for exploring the land of Colostle. It could be as simple as wanting to discover what is beyond the walls of your village, searching for someone, or as complex as a divine prophecy pushing your character to adventure. There is a quick table that you can use to find a random calling, though I think instead of randomly selecting a calling, I'm going to choose one. My Calling There is an army sweeping through the lands around your village. You have heard tales of their unstoppable nature; burning villages in their wake, their men clad in monstrous, spiked black armour. One night they arrive at your village; it is chaos, people screaming, running for their lives, the roofs of your people’s huts are set ablaze, lighting up the night sky. But most terrifyin...

Fear-monger the Lost Assassin After a short rest at Midland, Rufus sets out with renewed vigor and purpose. The final leg of his journey is at hand and his goal of defeating the Great king and saving the world is nearer than its ever been! With his final challenge ahead, Rufus makes his way to The Forest of Endless night! The Forest of Endless Night: Challenge 1 Challenge 1: As soon as he enters the forest, a large creature with a chest embedded in it guards the way!! DC: 14 HP: 60 Upon reaching the outskirts of the forest, Rufus finds himself face to face with a tree-shaped creature! Only this creature also appears to have a treasure chest embedded in its chest. "Time to start in on it I suppose! And with a juicy bonus of loot to start!" Rufus takes a careful approach. Hoping to get the goods and not face the creature, he sneaks up and attempts to pick open the chest without so much as the cr...

Grim-Caller the Forlorn Knight After his quick pit stop to town, Rufus is back on the road out to the next overlord. "I mean who knows how long I was dead for! I got plenty of rest then, and I have to save the world after all!" This time making sure to check the pamphlet for the location of the next dungeon before he gets too far in the wrong direction. "Grim-Caller the Forlorn Knight, huh? Geez, sounds like I'll be doin' him a favor putting him down for his own good! And were off to the serpent's sepulcher.... Hmmm I mean I still don't think I really know what a sepulcher is but it seems spooky enough!" With that Rufus makes his way to the dungeon of the third overlord. One step closer to his goal of saving the world! Serpent's Sepulcher: Challenge 1 Challenge 1: As soon as he enters the sepulcher, hordes of undead snakes begin dropping down from the ceiling! DC: 12 HP: ...

Soul-Spear the Foul Servant GM Note: Well after a short break from the game, I went back to play and realized I was playing on a bit of hard mode! When making a check, the challenge HP is always removed equal to your result. If you do not meet the dc, the only punishment is taking damage yourself as well. Now I don't think that the last challenge was particularly hard, but for this dungeon I'm going to go with rules as written and see if that changes anything. And alas, onward my brave skeleton! Having braved the Fortress of Extreme Frustration and defeated Frost-Taker, Rufus valiant strides down the road leaving the town behind him. "AH Yes! Success! Such a sweet and delicious taste to put down ones enemies and save the world!!! Haha!" He laughs triumphantly. After several hours of walking, the smug Rufus stops in his tracks. Ahem... Well, I suppose I should see where it is I am ...

Frost-Taker the Chaos Sorcerer After running down the road for some time, Rufus finally stops, a quizzical look passing over his... eye sockets. Wait! I should probably see where I'm going!" He quickly pulls out the first poster with the overlords details. "Ah! I see! Frost-taker the Chaos Sorcerer. Seems like a push over. And he's located in... The Fortress of Extreme Frustration huh? Well I'm sure this Frost-Taker guy will gladly leave a place like that! Sounds simply awful!" Now feeling a bit more guided, Rufus heads towards the Fortress of Extreme Frustration, which he oddly remembers where its located since he was so familiar with this area in life! Coming to the fortress, Rufus charges in, longsword in hand ready for battle "I'm here with eviction papers! Lets see you out peacefully... Or NOT!" Fortress of Extreme Frustration: Challenge 1 Challenge 1: A squad of sto...

"Well, looks like you're finally coming around then eh!?" Rufus hears a hearty laugh from somewhere above him. As his senses returns he realizes he's looking up from the flat of his back. He must be in some kind of deep hole. About 6 feet deep at least, if he had to guess. An old looking knight stands over the hole as he chuckles at nothing. "Well At least you've got your gear there, even if you're missing the rest of you! Well, best get up and about it. The overlords need defeating if you're to save the world from the Great King!" The knight laughs, wandering off. Rufus glances about, recognizing that he is wearing a fine breastplate, with a longsword at his side. But he also realizes quickly that he is missing all else but his bones! "Ah yes, that's right! I am Rufus and I am dead! Or... Well I suppose I was dead. Hmm... What did that old fool just say? Something about saving the world? Ov...
