The Lifeless Journey

NickCyden · September 2018

(Hey! You wanna play a version of those Destroy The Box games inspired by Dark Souls?! Well here it is! Although this isn't totally like those games, as this will also have a bit of exploration in it. You can't travel to unexplored areas, but you can travel backwards, if you so choose. It also has optional bosses! So that's fun, right?)

(How to play: Again, this is one of those "beat this object up" games, but with extra mechanics, so there isn't too much to talk about.
Attacking-You can't exactly do anything you want to attack like usual. Instead, you have to keep it thematic with the game, and the theme is Darksouls/bloodborn. This is basically midevil, so knights, magic, and you also have guns. Other than that, have at it!
Exploration-You can explore areas that have been added to the world map. By doing this, random events can occur. You can find loot, get ambushed, meet NPCs, and even find secret areas! I will also try my hardest to put lore Into basically everything, as is the Darksouls way.)

It is said in ancient Legends, that once every 1000 years, a band of great warriors will awaken, and help purge these lands of the unpure. Today marks the 3rd millennia, and the awakening of the newest heroes, to save the Residents of Tregand.

As you all awaken from your tombs, you look around and see each other. None of you need to say a word. You all know your mission. Suddenly though, you're attacked by 3 Ghouls. Hideous creatures that were once human, but have long been corrupted by lifelessness. What will you do?

You mean to tell me.

That you have no idea what the most famously hard RPG is.

Bitch.

Anyway, let's change things up a bit and roundhouse kick the ghouls. Perhaps the change in strategy might catch them off-guard and deal more damage.

While they're still recovering from that attack, go in elbow-first and charge straight into one, hopefully knocking them into each other again.

I explore and search around

As you search around the area, you notice you wouldn't be able to go too far, as some of your fellow heroes are fighting a pack of ghouls ahead of you. Within the few graves you can search, however, you find an iron dagger, and a note that says, "Beware of the Ghouls B~--~_" At the end, the handwriting gets too sloppy for you to read. There also seems to be a bit of blood on the corner of the note.

¤RunninginReverse¤ · September 2018

Pick up a ghoul and throw him into another one.

Ever been so angry that you hit a motherfucker with another motherfucker?

Scribblium · September 2018

You attempt to throw a Ghoul at another one. This works, but gives the ghouls Ample time to scratch at you
-10HP Ghouls
-20HP Dashnet

You look around for some weapons. You find what looks like a straight sword, along with a Soul Bolt Spell Scroll. Unfortunately, you do not have a staff to use the scroll

You quickly grab the sword, and swing it at one of the closer Ghouls. You easily tear and cut their already decaying flesh.

The ghouls lunge at you again, but thankfully miss.

@Scribblium Yo, dude, you wanna do a combo move?

I want to throw one of the ghouls straight onto your sword, impaling it.

Sure!

Tbh, not being able to attack AT ALL is a bit of an understatement of my abilities.

Fall backwards and crush the fucker.

Scribblium · September 2018

If RiR doesn't kill the ghoul, stab it

shit, alright, ummm....Ok, you fall back onto the Ghoul(This will not work for all forms of grapple)
-5HP

Scribblium said:

You stab the ghoul, taking away whatever fight it had left.
-5HP

Once all the Ghouls are down, their bodies start glowing. Some sort of magical aura wooshes off of them, and gets absorbed into your bodies. As it does, it feels like...you are slightly more powerful, but you know that power could easily be lost.
+100 Life Essence

You have defeated all of the ghouls, but it was not a flawless victory, as you suffered some significant bruises. It wasn't too easy, and you knew it was just the beginning of a long, perilous journey. In the distance, you hear the bells of a church start to ring.

Look around for... maybe some gauntlets? I'd like to keep going fists flying.

You look around the graves for some loot. You don't find gauntlets sadly, but you do find what looks like several (7) scrolls, all containing the Great Bolt spell. Not exactly your cup of tea, but maybe you'll like it even more. Or you could just save them for someone who likes fighting with magic.

¤RunninginReverse¤ · September 2018

I'll take 'em, I guess. Maybe I can find some gauntlets up ahead.

With that, let's move on in the direction of the church.

Scribblium · September 2018

Continue walking to the church

Hey can I have one of those scrolls?
(to RiR)
