2000 years ago, the then Emperor moved to his new Capital, and the once Shining City of AnimeLeagos became the playground of Monsters and Demons. Beneath the abandoned Temple, a vast labyrinth came into being. A Dungeon inhabited by the foulest of monsters, and legions of the undead.

Under orders from the present Emperor, a detachment of Holy Knights is attempting to clear the dungeon and reclaim the relics that were hidden in the tunnels below the Temple. Having worked their way through passages and rooms inhabited by Beasts, Goblins and Wandering Spirits, the party of Knights face their biggest challenge thus far.

The crypt is a large columned room, tens of meters below ground. The air is thick with the smell of mould and damp. There are also other smells. The sweet stench of decaying flesh. The metallic tang of fresh blood. Your nose is the only organ supplying any information, because the room is in absolute darkness, and not a sound can be heard.

The knights throw torches into the impenetrable darkness, but they immediately flicker and die. The darkness and the smell bear down on the senses like a leaden blanket. Smothering all thought and emotion other than fear.

But the darkness and the smell offer up a clue. Commanding the party is a Cleric of much experience, and he knows that what might be lying in wait, and it won't be alone. Gathering his Sub-commanders, he gives his orders.

Waiting in the darkness is a Wraith, and the subordinates it commands.
10 Zombies, 5 Skeletons, 3 Ghosts and the Wraith itself.

Entering the room would mean certain death for even the most skilful of Knights. The power of the Wraith is such that AOE attacks would be useless. The only answer is pinpoint accurate attacks that will overwhelm the defence of the monstrous undead, but in the darkness, these attacks would have to be fired at random until a target is identified.

The knights take up their positions, and the dreadful gamble unfolds.

This game proceeds much like Battleships or Minesweeper.

You need to draw up a grid 20 by 20 squares. Letters across the top/bottom, A to the left. Numbers on the sides, 1 at the top. This will be needed to plot the results of the casts.

All registered players will play at the same time in each round, casting "Turn Undead" at a square of their choice. (Letter then number. B7 for example)

I will then declare if each shot is a hit or a miss. If the monster has been killed, I will declare "Hit and destroyed"

Different monsters have different strengths, and this is reflected by their size on the grid.

Zombies have only one square, thus one hit will kill them.

Skeletons have two squares, so you have to change your aim to a square adjacent to your last shot and cast again, but which way do the two squares go?

Ghosts have three squares, but what shape do they follow?

The Wraith has eight squares, and the shape may take you a while to work out.

The Wraith is bound by one rule. No monsters can be adjacent to each other. When the monsters are distributed around the room, there must be at least one squares distance between them, vertically, Horizontally and diagonally.


It costs 10 points to cast "Turn Undead," but no cost if it results in a HIT
A HIT will reward with 25 points.

THUS

Killing a Zombie would reward 25 points.
Killing a Skeleton would reward 50 points.
Killing a Ghost would reward 75 points.
Killing the Wraith would reward 200 points,

AS LONG AS NOBODY SNIPES YOUR HITS

All monsters must be killed before the game can end. Players MUST cast in every round. If you fail to cast, you will lose points but have no result to show for it.

The player with the most points at the end receives 1000 AL points.

I will take the casts in the order that they are posted. If two (or more) players choose the same cast, it is first come first served, and points will have been wasted, so think carefully and post quickly.

Read the rules carefully.

If you are interested, please use this thread to sign up.

If you join a game already in progress, you will have the points for all earlier casts deducted from your starting value. This is to prevent lurkers joining just before the end with a 1000 point advantage.

Indeed.

1 v 1 would take too long, so I'm hoping this may be a faster pace. I just hope I can keep up.

I'd like a few more players to sign up, but if we have to go with what we've got, so be it.

Look for a starting post soon.
