Spoiler: Description (click to show/hide)

"Red Hand" is an illustrated adventure/dungeon crawler that I've always wanted to try out with the bay12 community. Plus it's more practice for me towards drawing, hope you enjoy it!

You wake up.
As you stand on the cold stone you look yourself over. This is you. You are a skeleton.
You decide to take a second gander at your body and notice the only difference. Your left hand, you raise it high and see that it is covered by a thin dry layer of red pigment.
But forget that, something more important comes to mind.
What is your name?

Side note, I will now be hosting the quest on two forums, the bay12 and the sufficient velocity forum.
This means that decisions on the other forum that are voted for will take place on both sides, that means that things will happen that you will not have notice beforehand because it was voted for on the other forum.
I think this will lead to a more exciting and fun Quest, hope you enjoy!

You decide to name yourself Arthur Kane, pretty good you think to yourself.
What will you do Arthur Kane?

Woulda liked if you had waited more then 10 minutes to decide a name.

Woulda gone with 'Marrow', myself.

Wait at least a few hours between updates.

Write our initials, A.K., on the wall in blood.

[IronyOwl]

Analyze those symbols on the wall, with the pomp and gravitas of someone who has no idea what they're looking at but wants to look like they do to feel important.

[NRDL]

Check out fleshy looking cup thing.

(My bad, still kinda new to the forum games, I'll wait longer in between rounds now  )

Write our initials, A.K., on the wall in blood.

Check out fleshy looking cup thing.

You pick up the ceramic cup filled with the red pigment, you examine the liquidy paste within and conclude that it's probably blood. I mean what else could it be?

You also dip your right hand's index finger into the cup and write out your new initials using the red paste, now your name is finally official.

Analyze those symbols on the wall, with the pomp and gravitas of someone who has no idea what they're looking at but wants to look like they do to feel important.

You take a closer look at the symbols on the wall. They all appear to contain circles with imagery and lines within or outlining them. If you had to guess they're either sigils or just drawings.
You keep your attention on the symbols and try to understand them further, in an important way...

(ROLL: 7!) After a moment of important examining it begins to make sense, these symbols are all runes! They're drawn with blood and they're circular what else could they be than magical runes?

[Empiricist]

Copy the runes somewhere else on the wall.

[NRDL]

+1 to the above

No worries, do what you want to do. Set update speed to whatever.

Also, the art is great.

(Thanks! Glad you like my art style.)



You dip your right index finger back into the small cup and begin to copy the runes from the wall in a more orderly fashion.
As you complete each rune you feel a bit dissapointed. Where's the magic? Are they not activated?
Once all four where complete you set the cup back down on the floor and decide to peer around the room more clearly to be sure no-one else is here.

Yep your positive now that you are the only somewhat living thing in this room.

[Dermonster]

Open bag. What's inside?

_{Also, crosspost to SufficientVelocity. My plan to get hundreds of bay12ers to migrate will continue to fruit, damnit!}
