It is a game heavily inspired on Notion's old game over at the keenspot forums, Beware of king. Whilst this game will hardly be "exactly" the same, there will be many similarities. Such as "stealing" the art for example. It's nice.
Without further adue- Let us get started.
It is dark. Peaceful. Yet something tugs at you from deep in your sleep- As if something went horribly wrong. Rummaging in your sleep, you hit one of the pillars standing beside your resting place. As it crashes down it is finally enough to wake you from the deep slumber. But what you see can't possibly have been caused solemnly by you knocking over the one pillar- Much of the castle, even these deeper underground parts seems to lie in rubble- The large pathway that you once used to descend into depths for your rest mostly collapsed.
You were alone. As you were thinking what could possibly have caused this, however, you faintly heard the sound of others-
"How deep did this tunnel go?! I've been digging for weeks."
"It is not much farther."
"You are one to say! You haven't moved a finger!"
Your claw lunges at the rubble separating you from the voices- With a few good hits managing to remove the boulders out of the way, as a passageway, seemingly "molten" out of the loose rubble is revealed- Alongside two figures.
"Ah... So you are awake." One says, seemingly disfigured as his skin seemed to peel away from his bones- Besides that, he was dressed in exquisite clothing, though covered in dirt and gravel from his efforts at creating the passageway. He rattles his throat seemingly wanting to continue as heÔÇÖs interrupted by the other rushing ahead of him- A female carrying armor you vaguely remember. A dragon knight.
My lord Forgive me, for I have failed to fulfill the task you had bestowed upon our order. Do with me as you choose fit.
Ah. You remember founding the order of the Claw before you went to your extended sleep- Their primary goal was, of course, to serve your best interests. But as your best interests at the time was the kingdom you handed to the self-appointed royalty, you suppose their goal was to help protect said kingdom. A versatile force they are- Trained to be strong-minded, thinkers, not to mention great warriors. Which makes the fact she failed all the more worrisome.
Oh get up! You did not force me to dig this tunnel just so you can sacrifice yourself as bait! the other interrupts her snarling, before turning to you, suddenly with far calmer voice. Of course forced is a big word sire I admit that I saw the situation as a bit too dire to consider such arduous work at first But that does not mean that Im not loyal to you, and now that weve found you we can arrange what should happen next, dont we?
You may call me the Magister. But to business- You see, the kingdom is in a bit of a peculiar situation at the moment he says with a more mocking tone, pausing a brief moment before continuing.
ÔÇ£You see, we have no kingdom.ÔÇØ
