[Gary Smith]

Right then this idea seems pretty fine one to me but tell me what you think. I am currently running a solo game with a kensai and im going to dual class to a thief at level 13. But enough about that, im going to write it in various different styles, mostly first person styles although the main character will be recorded by diary enteries. How do i want your help? well its an interactive advanture because i would like to know if you want to take part in this. If so just post here what you would like to be your characters attachments and what they would like to do and i will write them into the story. I think its a great idea but i will like loads of feedback [img]smile.gif[/img] im not the best writer but im ok and im getting better. So heres the first part. This will take a while by the way because i like my details [img]smile.gif[/img] i will have the next part up later tonight and i dont think i can write anyone in at this point but if your fast enough i might find a way. It all depends on who you want to be. And dont be shy lol be anyone you want.

FROM THE DIARYS OF UGLASH.

My eyes open slowly and the little light that there is stings like the 9 unholy levels of hell. At first I think I am blind but then things come into focus. I am in a little cage and as I get up my back creaks alarmingly, the cage is too small I remember thinking. Then on the edges of my vision I see a man, he is walking this way, to my sensitive eyes it seems that he is covered in an aura of power. I must be dreaming as I stand up as far as I can and face him. He seems small and fragile, I reach out to grab him but I feel a jolt of electricity and I am thrown back down to the floor. I smack my head into one of the bars and my vision blurs. On the edges of my hearing I hear his voice, faint though it is. “Ahhh the child of Bhall has awoken.” Then a jolt hits me and I start to lose my already fragile hold on consciousness, but my last thought before I black out is that he knows who I am.

My eyes open slowly and there seems to be more light this time. I look around slowly expecting more pain, everytime I have woken in the last few hours I have been blasted into unconsciousness. I will have my revenge on that bastard! I get up and my vision spins, how can it be that this abuse still affects me, a warrior!! I steady myself and wait. I look round the room and drink in the sights. Lots of cages I think, but only two are occupied. I don’t recognize the faces, I shake my head, I’m sure that I should but I just cant remember! My anger is rising and I turn and hit my fist into one of the bars. It bends! The bars can bend! I grip the bar and brace myself and pull with all my strength. They start to give but ever so slowly, I am the wrestling champion of my tribe why can’t I do this! I brace again and give it another pull and it gives some more. My eyes are tearing as my muscles strain against the bars. I feel myself blacking out again but I growl away the pain and give one last momentous pull. The bars resist and then as if they give up the fight they bend as easily as some of the men’s backs I have broken before.

I fall forward and fall through the gap in the bars, my waist gets stuck and I let out a rueful laugh, all that just to get stuck in the bars. I wriggle about as I try not to think about the shame I am going through. Eventually I manage to get my waist free and fall to the floor in a heap. I laugh aloud as the thought that I am free from that hellish cage runs through my mind. I must find a weapon! I look round and see that there is a door off to one side, doors equal treasure in my mind so I move closer to the door. I put my ear to it and listen at the door. I don’t hear anything so I push through the door and freeze. There is a golem across the room from me. I don’t like golems, ever since my encounters near baldurs gate I have had a healthy disrespect for golems. But this one doesn’t look like it will trouble me so I move slowly across the room. I see a long sword on the table, blessed be my favourite weapon. Oh how I used to carve apart my enemies with that weapon. But this is not helping. I grab the long sword and look around. I see some more weapons and some armour. Armour is for wimps I think as I turn and leave the room turning to send one last glance the golems way. I would swear that thing is inanimate.

I enter the cage room and look around for another exit. I see one towards the left-hand corner of the room and I hurry over there. I go through the archway and step in something horrible and slimy. I look down and for the first time I swear because of my lack of boots. Hmmm brains I say out loud as I scoop my hand down and have a taste. Got to love the taste of old brains. I walk my way through the blood and gore being careful to keep my feet from getting messy. There is a humming ahead and I peek round the corner and see this strange machine. It seems that this machine sensed my approach because it gives a burp and from nowhere a funny little flying thing appears. I don’t like the look of this so I do what I usually do, I run in waving my sword. On the way I notice out of the corner of my eye a lever on the floor so I swing my sword and smash it to pieces, levers = badness in my experience. I run up to this flying thing and it spurts a lighting bolt at me. I give a surprised yelp as the electricity runs through my body. But I’m made of sterner stuff and I give a yell and swing my sword down cleaving the flying thing apart. As its wings fall down on either side of its body a little note falls out of the body. I lean down and look at the note. It says “lighting mephit.” So that’s what they are called. Then another jumps out of the machine and I turn and cut above my head cleaving it in half again. Seems like it’s the same kind. I look at the machine and then back to the lever and something connects in my brain.

Just as I am mouthing, “Oh Shit” another mephit jumps out of the machine and I jump back and swing my sword. Amazingly I miss and I get another shock. I grab the mephit in my hands and rip it to pieces. I give a shrug then and punch my hand into the lightning machine. Not a good move for although it stops the mephits coming out of the machine the resulting explosion brings down the roof over the entrance I just came through as well as throwing my back into the wall. As I fight for consciousness I see this and punch the wall. Which then brings down a few bricks onto my head. Lucky I’m made of stone myself so I pick myself up and head through my only possible exit. I grip my sword tightly as I wonder what trials await me next.
