Why did four humans die at the hands of a bunch of rats and spiders? Someone also had a question mark on his face.
In reality, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen. At most, it will be a little embarrassing. How could it be possible to die like this.
But this is a game that follows a rule book, and a level 1 character is a noob. A group of people didn't understand the rules of the game, so they rushed into the warehouse without lights or anything. Even if they are in a disadvantageous environment in the dark, everyone has a blank slate and no equipment, so they can only rely on their fists.
The most important thing is that these people have no sense of role-playing at all, and they have no idea that they are actually only level 1 characters. When it comes to talking about his actions, it's all over the place, and all kinds of legendary skills are thrown around without money.
And as soon as the dice roll was made, someone felt that these four guys were cursed. Even this lowly spider can pass the poison test on them, directly allowing the four whiteboard characters to win the bid.
In addition, Jermaine, who got the magician template, rushed to the front line and used his character as a human shield. Fen got the warrior template, but he was thinking about possible tactics in the dark and did nothing. Liena is a character who uses Druid, but her skill slot is all empty at once, and she is also useless. Another Ridan III who got the female warrior template was successfully attacked by a mouse without knowing what he should do. After all his companions died, he was surrounded by monsters and quickly followed in his companions' footsteps.
Amidst all kinds of negative judgments and disadvantages, the four martyrs successfully became heroes.
All right. It's too demanding, maybe too much, to ask a group of people who have never played this kind of game and have no idea what to do. But someone still couldn't help complaining about them: "Your series of choices are really disastrous. When normal people go to a strange place, what would you do if you just break into a locked warehouse without asking for any information? The mage is doing it with his bare hands. Fighting with monsters in a dark place? What are you thinking? At least remember what role you are playing now. You are just fledgling adventurers. Even in reality, any action you take should be considered. Then Why don't you think more about whether this is feasible in the world of games? Or is it because this is a game, so you are quite dismissive."
"No, I also acted like this in reality. Is there anything wrong?" The lich who was taught a lesson was a little dissatisfied and curled his lips and said. The Elf Sword Dancer and the Silver-bearded Dwarf next to him nodded in approval. Only the young king looked a little confused and looked at both sides.
...Well, it’s no wonder these people don’t have a high sense of involvement. The main body is a guy who can walk sideways in the mysterious world, how can he understand the hardships of weak people like us.
"Anyway," someone clapped their hands, regaining everyone's attention. Said: "Don't think of what you are going to do next as a simple game, but as another period of your life. You are very weak there, but it is a novel world and there will be novel experiences. That is different from reality. There is no difference, it’s like you don’t know what will happen next second, whether it will rain later, or what you will encounter if you go down this road.──”
Someone gave a nondescript description, and the serious king asked softly in confusion: "Will it rain? The predictions of the Druid masters are very accurate. Then if we go down this road, isn't it going to His Majesty Lahti's place?" .”
"──Anyway! In short, please think more carefully about how you are going to live in that different world. Of course, and most importantly, how to take risks and make your life colorful. Instead of watching it every day Seeing the same scenery, meeting the same people, doing the same things. At least, in my world, you are free."
"Free? This sentence is very heavy. Are you ready to bear it?" Fen smiled slightly, but his words were threatening.
A chill ran down someone's spine and he looked at the lich whose smile never faded. Fin stretched out his hand to signal the start of the next game. Lin was filled with doubts, and after briefly restating the original opening, he returned the focus to Candlekeep in Faerûn and asked: "Then, adventurers, what should you do?"
"I stood behind my adoptive father, picked up the hardcover book on the table, and launched a sneak attack on my adoptive father."
The action Fin chose frightened everyone. Not only a few participants, but also those watching the show and the guards responsible for guarding the young king had dumbfounded expressions. With that enigmatic smile, she looked at the 'god' in front of her and asked, "Why, can't I act like this?"
Lin, who returned to normal, looked up the rule book he had written and said: "No, of course you can choose to act like this. I need you to throw a sneak attack check." Then a minute later, the group was destroyed...
"Wait a minute, what's going on with this random adoptive father on the side of the road who is a legend?" Jermaine asked in confusion.
"Don't you listen to my background introduction? Candlekeep is the place with the largest collection of books in Faerûn. There are many scholars studying there, and the environment is relatively closed. In a world full of dangers, a force that can do this , it’s normal for there to be crouching tigers, hidden dragons.”
"Okay, even if it's normal, what does level suppression mean? What is level?" Jermaine asked again. And then someone doesn’t know how to respond…
Yes, what is Level? How to explain this super basic setting? It's like air and water. Most people don't think about the reason for this kind of thing.
After thinking for a while, Lin showed a level 1 character card that no one was using, and said: "Look, this is your character in the world of Faerun. In reality, people will undergo training or actual combat training. Then it becomes stronger. But how much stronger? Or that such a change actually makes it worse, we have no way of knowing. It can only be verified in the next battle, and the next time, and the next time. But it exists in this way. It’s impossible to judge characters in such a vague way.──”
Pointing to the blank character card and the almost blank skill bar. Also displayed are chapters on levels, skills, etc. in the rule book. "──So the way to show the growth of these characters is that when they continue to use skills or certain technologies, the characters will accumulate proficiency; after fighting, they will accumulate experience points. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, use 'upgrade' way to express the growth of characters. Therefore, the difference in level can be regarded as the difference in strength and weakness on the continent of Faerûn. Of course, the victory or defeat in battle does not entirely depend on the gap between levels. There are other factors that will Decide the outcome.”
"Oh, how do you get experience points?" Fen asked.
"Well, it's actually written in the rule book. In addition to getting different amounts of experience points based on the enemies you defeated after the battle, when you complete tasks entrusted by others, you will get certain experience points based on the difficulty of the task. .Also, you can also gain experience points if you get experience from some strong people."
"Can you defeat any kind of enemy?"
"Well, yes. As long as you start a battle and defeat the enemy, you can gain experience points."
"Okay, let's start the next one quickly." Fen's eyes were almost crescent-shaped, and he couldn't wait for the next one to start.
Seeing that this lich had no idea what strange idea he had, Lin looked at the others who were equally puzzled, but their expressions seemed to be looking forward to the next adventure. So it's a similar opening again, but this time with a little more description in the background. "Adventurers, how will you act?"
"Can I observe other people's strength?" Fen asked first.
"Well, you can. But you don't have the relevant skills, and you don't have enough adventure experiences. Simply put, you haven't trained your eyesight yet, so you can only make a rough judgment."
"Then I want to observe my adoptive father's strength. Do I need to roll the dice?"
"That's not necessary. Because you are the family who raised you. From the friends you have with your adoptive father and from hearing about his past adventures, you know clearly that your adoptive father is a very powerful magician. He also has extensive contacts and rich knowledge."
"Oh, that's great." Fen said with a face that was excited about the idea, "Then I'll leave home and look for lone passers-by on the road."
Well, I kind of noticed that Fen had a crooked idea. As a DM, of course there is nothing to stop, so when Fen killed the first lone passerby, she got a lot of eyeballs that were almost bulging.
At first, other companions were a little puzzled and even resisted such behavior. However, after Fen's character upgraded and the loot was found from the corpse, everyone became loyal believers in the chaotic evil camp, like a mad dog. Kill everyone you see. Then they were slaughtered by the guards from Candlekeep...
"Why do the guards guarding Candlekeep attack us?" Jermaine asked dissatisfiedly.
"You committed murders on the road in broad daylight. Although you selected some lone passers-by who looked easy to bully at first, you did not hide the bodies after killing them. If in reality, you think such a thing is impossible Once you are discovered, you will kill everyone in the entire gathering place. You also help, even if you do bad things, you still have to use your brain, okay?"
Criticism is useful, and at least this group of participants learned something from it. Just like that all night long, a certain guy who was the game host saw these people annihilating them in various ways. But they did start to read the rule book during this process and became familiar with how to play the game.
Especially when I saw with my own eyes that they only spent a few minutes briefly browsing the rule book, and after switching back to the professions they were familiar with, they were able to take advantage of the attributes of these characters. All kinds of stealing, cheating, beating sap, dragging in dark alleys, and covering cloth bags are all very easy to do.
Even the young elf king turned into a wretched man. Relying on the skills of the Druid profession, he became the main force in attacking the east and west and attracting the attention of NPCs. Then there are the various unsavory actions of others. To make someone doubt yourself, did you make some nasty game specifically to teach bad children?
