Options will be given to you at the end of the section, tell us in the thread which one you'd like to pick, and the most popular one will progress the adventure! Shall we begin?

"Dice Hard" a Knights of Pen & Paper +1 Edition community driven text adventure (DH-KoPP+1ECDTA for short)
Part 1


You are in a DARKENED ROOM. A musty smell of mold and a pervasive aura of suffering hang in the air, reminding you of a prison cell, or a long-forgotten temple. There is one exit to the WEST.

Before you, a trio of SHADOWY FIGURES sits in silence, their gazes upon you expectantly, waiting for a kernel of wisdom or a decisive act. The central figure has assembled the artifacts of tonight’s ritual before himself, with a MYSTERIOUS TOME to his right and a collection of POWERFUL TOTEMS on his left.

You are currently carrying:
STONE OF FORTUNE
WISDOM SCROLL
28 Gold

COMMAND?
> GO WEST
> ATTACK FIGURES
> GET TOTEM
> CAST LIGHT SPELL

PART 2 UP, direct link:: Cast Light Spell

PART 3 UP, direct link: Use Stone of Fortune

PART 4 UP, direct link: You Steal Mysterious Tome

YOU CAST A LIGHT SPELL

With a sweep of your arm, you invoke the power to BATHE THE ROOM IN LIGHT, removing the obscuring SHADOWS from the area and revealing the FIGURES to your sight. They HOWL in annoyance, shielding their eyes. “Come on!” growls the central figure, shaking his head at you. “You’re spoiling the mood. We said we’d keep it dark when we went into a DUNGEON.” He has a point. You sheepishly sweep your arm the other way and knock the light switch back to ‘off.’

You return your attention to the RITUAL before you: the three POWERFUL TOTEMS have been arranged on a set of SIX-SIDED-SIGILS as to be surrounded by a series of RED BEADS. These beads each control a BLOODTHIRSTY GOBLIN, and they are currently threatening the TOTEMS; if the TOTEMS fall, so do you. Your life and the lives of your companions hang in the balance!
Impatiently, the central SHADOWY FIGURE motions for you to confront the situation, which appears grim.
