[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 4123987, member: 552"] [sblock=OOC]We're beginning the adventure at the [i]'point of entrance'[/i] rather than beginning with the more traditional hook portion. This is to expediate the game's introduction and try to get the players in as soon as possible. By getting everyone onto a 1/day schedule of posting early, I hope to get a stronger commitment to the game going. Things might feel a little boxed in at first, since I'm essentially throwing you into the burning building, but the point of this game is also to test things mechanically and how they play out. I want the players to push as hard as they can till they are forced to retreat back to the nearest town to recover. [/sblock] [b]Background:[/b] Another party of adventurers, locally based, delved into the local ruins known as the Sunless Citadel a month past. They were never seen again.
