Everything You Can Possess
At the foot-hills of the mountains, several teams of miners excavate a large cave rich in mineral deposits. However, they got more than they bargined for when they discovered three secret stone entrance to an aging necropolis of some ancient race. After some adventuring, they encountered multitudes of undead and legions of strange clockwork automations. Both factions seemed to be fighting not only eachother, but a large confederation of goblins intent on making the large underground city a new united goblin den. And while a good third of them miners were slaughtered, the survivors brought serveral rare artifacts out of the subterenean citadel.
The Baron of Miyr has stopped the mining in that region due to the 'safety hazards' ancient underground complexes pose. He also announced that any adventurer or researcher can and will be allowed to go in, but under no circumstances, will the township be held responisble for any loss of life from the warring monsters. However, this hasn't stopped the flow of relic hunters, artifact collectors, and thrill seekers to try their luck ((Which is probably why the local Adventurer's Tavern has lost a good half of their customers)).
The entrance to the necropolis is situated in a slightly forested north-easternly passage through the mountains. Directly infront of the cave are masses of tents containing researchers and merchants setting up shop. One fellow, however, stands out of the crowds. He is a small looking wood-elf with a tall curled hairdo which gave him extra height. This elf ran back and forth, handing adventurers entering the three passages scrolls...

Dear Adventurers,
You've come here to take ancient treasures from this ancient citadel right? Well, it seems like there is nothing they can possess which we cannot take away, no? Well, down to the point: As you venture into the underground city. Please be on the look-out for four rather large books, and an ornamental silver spoon.
These rather thick texts are unmarked save for a small pentagram on the middle of each cover. The only difference between the four would be the color of the wrapings. A blue, red, and green wrapping will fetch you a modest reward. One of Black leather will fetch double.
The spoon is of no special abillity or looks save for the carved picture of a pheonix on the handle.
If you were to find these relics, especially the spoon, we might have ourselves a great partnership, my dear treasure-hunting friends.
[[The next part of the parchent has a picture of the book symbols, and a sketch of the spoon. Some ink stains hides the name of the elf]]
Sincerely, *******

Ookay... Anybody who wishes to participate in some just-for-fun dungeon running, you have all the time in the world to jump in with your characters.
Post your stats the same as any normal quest, except you can't bring your consumables ((You may gain some temporary ones)) and all charge items are considered fully charged if you bring them. Mist item breaks and one-use tokens won't be taken out of your inventory, but cannot be used in this little event after it is broken/used.
Once posted, you may either go into it alone, form teams, or whatever you like.
Okay, there are 4 regions to this sprawling necropolis. Each of the regions have their own monster pattern, ONE of the books, and each has a small chance of finding the spoon. There is NO LOCATION for the books; they are found in order everywhere. However, only one book can be found per region.
The Crypt is to the east; darkness and skeletal remains populate this area filled with trap walls and false intent.
The Slums is to the west; heavily overgrown with moss, fungus, and filled with rotting structures which create an overgrown forest appearance.
The Palace grounds is to the north; Ruined, but much of its beauty has lasted the ages. Beware of hidden corridors and lethal traps to turn would-be theives.
And finally: The Ruined City. The center of the entire complex and contested over by goblin, undead, clock-works, and adventurers.
Each district has a 1 in 20 chance of finding their respective book per search. After each five consecutive searches, your chances to find a book will double. However, the more searches you take, the harder it will be to defeat the monsters. Please note that you MUST kill the monsters before you can take the book. Your chances will triple if you find the book but could not defeat the monsters
After all the books are found, each location has a 1 in 20 chance of finding the spoon.
If a search is unsucessful, but you still defeated the monsters, you will have a good chance to find a small item which will give you a score. These items each have a little chip price which is gives you points. These poitns are totaled up at the end of this event just to see hwo you did. The books and spoons each have a price aswell; although these are signifigantly higher. They are catagorized as thus:
Petty: [P] 50 chips. More common things which still fetch a neat price.
Average: [A] 100 chips. Unmarked weapons, jewlery, more expensive but nothing magical or rare.
Relic: [R] 200 chips. Rare things such as ceremonial armor, master-crafted gears, old unpowered magical books, and other exotic stuff.
Red, Green, Blue Books are worth 500 each
Black cover book is worth 1000
The spoon is worth 2000
if you are defeated, you must wait until the rest of the party is defeated. If they win their five consectutive fight, you can be revived and continue the search. However, if your party is defeated, half of the total loot values will be lost; books and the spoon will not disapear.
To avoid losing your belongings, you can opt to go outside and store/sell your loot. This will not only protect the deposited points from being lost once defeated, but will automatically revive lost partymembers and heal all HP/status ailments. This will reset your AP/MP but not your party-pool if you are in a group. returning to the surface will end the consectutive streak.
Switching districts will NOT end the consectutive streak.

Bellamin stood out in the throng. After having snatched a scroll from the busy elf, he sat next ontop of a large rock as the occasional adventurer exited or entered the cave. Waiting for company, he'd go in if nobody else came it. "Sure there's treasure and all sorts of ancient magical imbued stuff down there, but come on? I don't think I could make it on my own." The wisp fluttered around him, and apparently by the look on Bellamin's face, it agreed. In a pop noise, the wisp puffed out of the visible sectrum and reapeared beside its comrade and slammed into his wizard hat. Bellamin chased the wisp and his hat into the gloomy dark abyss. After chasing the wisp through ruined corridors and around the occasional corpse, the wisp at last stopped in a ruined remainder of a building covered in moss and fungus. Hovering around the doorway with the hat somehow it it's grip. "Give me my hat!" The spellsword leaped forward to grab his hat and ended up crashing into the building. Suddenly, a pair or red magical eyes focused onto Bellamin. "Good job, pixie."
Searching The Slums.

Suddenly, the room is full of glowing red eyes. Each intent on avenging its comrade.

In his rush to get back to the surface, and find that coward of a wisp, he drops the clock-spring and makes a break for it. If it wasn't for an unlucky group of adventurers, Bellamin would've been swamped by dozens of rat-robots. Unfortunatly, the adventurers fates are unknown.
Panting, he grabbed his hat from the rock and swatted at a green glowing ball and continued his waiting.[/color]

Lazarus nears the area, the elf rushing back and forth. He manages to snag a scroll from him, and scans it. He begins to wonder the significance of the tomes and spoon. Well, no other way to check other than to enter the area. He sees the mention of crypt, and feels drawn to that area.

((oops forgot to roll)
Lazarus walks through the large stone door that the scroll desiginated as the enterence for the Crypt. The large dusty enterence way leads into a moderately sized room; stone benches line the far walls, and a huge grantie table sits in the middle of the room. Lazarus begins to start cleaning the dust off of the surfaces, searching for anything of value.

Life: 2 (10)
Magic: 0
Equip: 0
Abilities: N/a
Actions: Defensive Hold, Smash
As you dust off the ancient stone furniture, you hear an odd gurgling noise. You turn your head towards the shadowy region which connected the entrance area to the rest of the Crypts. A figure crawled into the torchlight and let out a small growl. It resembled a zombie, save for the fact that it was missing two legs, an ear, and half its abdomin; this was some burnt survivor of a previous mage's fire-spells as the cauterized wounds didn't leave a track of blood. A gold ring glinted in its rotton hands. A small trinket such as that could fetch a modest price, but from the poor predicament of this poor thing; it wasn't magical.
The thing let out an ear-piercing howl before slowly crawling towards you with its hands. Judging by the pitiful state that it was in, the zombie wouldn't pose much of a threat, but that last call will undoubtedly call more composed zombies.

An avid bard such as Karythelia couldn't pass up such a find! Taking in the scenery on her way into the threshold of the ruins, her excitement appeared in her apprehensive grin. She made her way to the crypt, the Palace would have to wait. There was something in there that drew her in, which probably was the picture perfect overgrown and dark feel it had, so very cliched.

((You do realize you CAN work in groups... But splitting the treasure is something you have to figure out.))
((Okay, if your both going in alone... 1st [A Relic] is for kary, second [Relic] is for Vincent))
As you venture down one of the innummerable ancient hallways, you find yourself in an intrestingly decorated room. by the stacks of aging armor and various battle-crests, you deduce that this was for some legion of soldiers protecting this place. Something seems to compels you across the room until you can see what appeared to be a high-ranking offical's sargophagus. The lid is slightly ajar, and you spie a glimpse of silver underneath... However, it seems you have competition, as there is a figure on the other side of the coffin. Your half-elven eyes could've saw him anywhere else, but all you see the shape of a human figure; the darkness here seems almost unatural...

After you explore one of the innummerable ancient hallways, you find yourself in an oddly decorated room. by the stacks of aging weapons and various pieces of rusting armor, you deduce that this was the resting place for the warriors who guarded this place in its prime. Something compels you across the dust covered floor until you can see what appeared to be a coffin for somebody important lying in the middle of the floor. The coffin is broken on this side, and you see a hint of obsidian inside... However, it seems you have competition, as there is a figure on the other side of the coffin. The shadows are too thick for you to see across...
~~~
Suddenly, a large grating sound could be heard. Most likley the sound of a pressure-activated trap. An alcove crumble apart and two skeletal soldiers peer out at you two from the darkness. Although their bones creaked with age, they could see their two prey very clearly. Each one lifted a rusted silver lonsword and cracked black shields and rushed to their prey. Skeleton [12]
