<strong>Between a Rock and a Hard Place</strong><br/><br/>(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02089/hi-kents-cavern0_2089289b.jpg)<br/><br/>Deep down in the depths...the air is warm...what there is of it. There is no sunlight here...in fact you do not know where you are. You went to bed in your home, safe and snug. You awoke here. The floor is stone, what you can feel of it, grainy and hard. There is a coating of dust on nearby surfaces. You listen carefully and may hear a dripping sound in the distance or merely an echo of one, cave sounds can be misleading.<br/><br/>There is a faint source of light nearby, just enough for you to make out that you are in an alcove in a larger cave. The place where you are hidden is marginally protected with a few rocks. You are not harmed, in fact you seem to be well physically. Though if you had any magic in you it seems to be dormant. It is there inside of you, but you just cannot cast. You are in the clothing you went to bed in, if any. You have no weapon to use and no armor.<br/><br/>How you got here is something you may wonder, but no answers are to be found laying here in the relative darkness. As you rise to your sitting position you look over the rocks that are screening you from view of anything or anyone else in the large cavern. It would be wise to be cautious, you are not alone. There are two torches burning in the large room. one on either end. There is also a slab of rock in the center of the room, it appears to be about twenty feet long. There is one lit candle on it.<br/><br/>The sensation of being deep below the surface of the earth is suffocating. The air is not fresh, it is stale and musty. The torches burn with a  snap and crackle. Whoever set you here is testing you. How you react and how you manage to survive is up to you. Look around the small space you have found yourself in.  Your primary concern is survival. Cooperation might be  necessary.<br/><br/>----------------------<br/><br/>This is the OOC thread. Keep comments and questions here and we will work out any problems and discuss plot points here. This is where we will be accepting character sheets and noting acceptance or offering suggestions. This is open to anyone who can commit to posting often enough to keep the thread going. Ideally once a day.<br/><br/>This is freeform. That means there will not be a lot of emphasis on leveling or stats. The main objective is to RP. Survival and cooperation. I do not mind friendly rivalry or someone who will try to be sneaky and gather more treasure or something on the order of deception. Player interaction is fun and one of the reasons I like a more rp based group. At the end boss, however it will be imperative for you all to cooperate to win. (Escape).<br/><br/>I will provide narrative and also one character who will be in the same position you are all in. I will also populate the dungeon with helpful npcs as well as dangerous ones. I encourage anyone who has a creative idea and wants to suggest plot twists.  Please run that by us first so we can incorporate it smoothly or deny the idea on the basis of not working with my original concept.<br/><br/>I reserve the right to deny anyone who is not following the basic concept or who is disruptive to the group. I will listen to a<strong>reasonable</strong>request. If you are pushy or whiney I will probably kick you out of the group.  >:)
