The Great Hacksaw is a giant, rusty serrated sword, and the Bulwark of Hate is an angry makeshift shield, covered in spikes and crusted with gore. Ye olde Black Drink is a caustic, throat-burning stew of intoxication and hallucinogenic rage.

god i hope i don't seem OP

@Kebbit: OP? Not really, instead of this
I picture this
But with more blood (and a sword).
Although I will have to ask for you to either A:change your ability to consume poisonous materials or B: Remove your ability to eat nontoxic things (ie, clag paste, food)

@maart3n: Duel throwing axes seem alright, more useful than throwing spears

Firstly, if I get one more applicant I'll make a proper intro into (ie officially start) game at this time tomorrow +2 hours (that makes sense, right?). Secondly, I'll now update the OP with all of your character sheets, I'll try to keep it updated with recent events, your inventory and the games story. A story will develop at some point, probably from a player action or something in this first dungeon, I might even make some sort of fancy looking world map, if your lucky.

Basically the abilitiy is "LOLPOTIONS", but I had to think up some kind of lore explanation.

So maybe he's not immune to poisons at all, but just has a liver strong enough to handle his own creations?

Hmmmmmmmm........ Ok.
I was hoping for another applicant by now oh well, whenever then.

So, when will we start?

When I get one more player. Tell your Friends!

Awesome, Rolling! (Or rather introing, but hey, same difference)

Meanwhile....

Four adventures find themselves gazing into the entrance of a dungeon. It sits at the foot of a mountain surrounded by forest, fortunately there is a small clearing outside in which our heroes have set up a small camp. They now stand ready to delve into the dungeon and gain limitless riches and glory that surely waits below. If only they could decide who will go in first...

Roll=1

Nonsequitorian\Ulysses= 12

"Let us all go hand in hand, my brothers!", they all seem to agree with this (slightly ridiculous) idea and it almost goes ahead, until you realise the entrance is only wide enough for two people. So you graciously let John go first and opt to head in last instead and watch as the following events unfold.

TorrentHKU\John= 17

Johns plan seems much more sensible, first in shield up, after a slight boost from the Iron Mauler this works well against the surprising amount of dart traps and you manage to get halfway down the corridor before noticing the boulder rolling down after you. After some particularly quick thinking, you use your shield as a ramp to send it flying over your head, straight over its stopping grooves and into the door ahead. As it continues its destructive streak down the corridor on the other side of the room, you notice the remains of several un-un-dead skeletons. You also gain 20 exp, whatever that means.

TheKebbit\Iron Mauler= 2

You stamp inside shortly after John, only to find yourself tripping after a particularly large stamp moves a particularly large pressure plate. After falling into John sending him forward with a burst of speed, a large boulder falls onto your back then rolls off and continues down the stairs ahead. Ouch, nothing major with all your heavy armour, but your still winded.

maart3n\Mulch= 1

You are unable to reach the dungeon with your little legs, even at full speed. In fact you manage to trip on a red shiny stone, being a dwarf you can't help but realise its value immediately, even if you don't know what it is. You somehow remain oblivious to the events taking place just a few meters ahead.

Room 1

A small room that might have served as some sort of guard house, it contains a shelf, a chest and the remains of a table. The crushed table, skeletons and cards scattered in the boulders wake suggest they might have been playing a game of cards, you almost feel sorry for them.
