Welcome to Gauntlet of Fools!

I'll be the moderator and die roller for everyone because well there is no other way to roll dice here. Feel free to chat in the thread, talk like your character whatever you want!

Rules
1. No outside communication.
2. I will try to resolve at least one encounter for everyone each day so because of that, if you wish to use an ability you have 12 hours from when I post the encounter to use any "before rolling" abilities and 12 hours after I post results for after rolling abilities. If you do not wish to use an ability I request you post No ability uses
4. IF I post an encounter on the weekends, the timer for abilities will not start till the Monday after
3. Have fun!

This game can fit up to 6 people.
1. Watno
2. Ozle
3. Lekkit
4. Captain_Frisk
5. jotheonah
6. cayvie

Once this game has 2 people it will start 24 hours after the last person who signed up, or when it hits 6 whichever comes first.

Full disclosure: I will be using random.org for all die rolls, I will roll them in TURN order

Full rules can be found here Rules (PDF)

Boasting.

When the game starts the post below will show the character/weapon combinations available. Here's how we'll do boasting. Let's use players Alice, Bob, and Carol


Alice goes first

Alice decides to take the ninja with a bow, she declares this along with any boasts she wishes to add (she does not have to)

Next Bob decides to take either a different hero or the ninja, if he takes the ninja he MUST add a boast. Boasting continues till all have a hero.

Example
Alice takes ninja with a bow without breakfast
Bob takes ninja with a bow without breakfast, and hopping on one foot
CAROL takes Priest with a staff
Alice takes Priest with a staff, with a hang over
Carol takes Barbarian with a dagger.

NOTE: Each hero can only have 1 of each type of boast


Combat. Once the Encounter is up before rolls are posted.
Use Weapon Token and Use Class Token are the respective ways to use your ability

Combat. After rolls are posted
Use Weapon Token and Use Class Token are the respective ways to use your ability

It is important to know when you can use your ability.

Turn Order
1) Captain_Frisk
2) Ozle
3) jotheonah
4) Lekkit
5) Watno
6) Cayvie

The Boasts
While Juggling - After rolling subtract 1 from the total, Start with half as many weapon tokens as normal
With a Hangover - Roll 1 Less Die, -4 Defense, Discard this boast when you Kill your first Monster
One Arm Tied Behind Back - Any die's showing 1 and 2 are ignored treating them as 0's
Blindfolded - If you both kill & dodge the monster score 1 less gold.
Hopping on One Leg - -2 Defense
Without Breakfast - Start with 1 wound.

The Cast
Pairings
Monk with a Spear
Ninja with a Scepter
Adventurer with a Cleaver
Trapper with a Mace
Armsmaster with a Sling AND Deadly Fists
Artificer wiith a Scimitar

Details on the Classes
Monk - 10 Defense, 4 Class Tokens. Ability: Spend a token before rolling to roll an additional die and +4 defense this turn

Ninja - 17 Defense, 0 Class Tokens. Ability: Start with twice as many weapon tokens.

Adventurer - 15 Defense, 2 Class Tokens. Ability: Spend a token after an Encounter, once per Encounter, visit that Encounter again.

Trapper - 16 Defense, 2 Class Tokens. Ability: Before Rolling, once per fight, Treasures have an extra 2 gold for you this turn.

Armsmaster - 14 Defense, 0 Class Tokens. Ability: Before boasts deal an extra weapon to the armsmaster. When rolling pick which weapon to use

Artificer - 15 Defense, 2 Class Tokens. Ability: When you Kill a monster you may spend a token to, instead of getting treasure, get an additional 1 die for the rest of the game (This would make the scimitar have 5 or 6 dice as you use the ability)


Details on the Weapons
Spear - 4 Dice, 2 Weapon Tokens. Ability: Spend a token after rolling to replace your roll with 14.

Scepter - 4 Dice, 2 Weapon Tokens. Ability: Spend a token before rolling to kill a monster with attack less than it's defense

Not very hard to do ok. (It's easy to play). How well you do will depend on your ability to evaluate heroes which does become easier the more you've played the game.

its really easy, and there is no hidden information, so you can just ask when something is unclear while we play.

Yeah, I also read the rules just now, and it's super easy. I will probably have to get this game. It seems to be very quick, casual and fun! Also, have I mentioned that I love dungeon crawls of all kinds?

You walk into the local tavern with 5 of your closest adventurers. You guys have been to hell and back together! "Remember when I beat that Dragon while juggling?" "Oh I have that beat, I beat an army of kobolds without breakfast!" came the reply.

The Monk, Ninja, Adventurer, Trapper, Armsmaster, and Artificer walked up the bar and ordered some drinks, for in the morning they were entering a Gauntlet and even with all of their accomplishments this was no easy task ahead of them.

But wait who were you again?

Pairings
Monk with a Spear
Ninja with a Scepter
Adventurer with a Cleaver
Trapper with a Mace
Armsmaster with a Sling AND Deadly Fists
Artificer wiith a Scimitar

Also second post updated with all relevant info for these weapons/classes
