Level 9

(XP Needed: 77)
- Hitpoints = 25 |

Attack = 2d6

| Defense = 2d3
- Mana Points = 6 | Morale = 15 | 2 Stat Points

-Gain active skill "Clear Mind" (1 CD):

Restores the user's morale to the maximum amount and cures one level of the "Sealed" status affliction.

-Gain magic spell "Forcefield" (Cast: 3 Mana | Uses: {Half Current Mana} Mana):

Constructs an impenetrable forcefield around the caster preventing all damage for two rounds.

-Gain power spell "Mind Duel" (5 CD | Cast: 2 Mana | Uses: 0 Mana):

Challenges another character that possesses mana to a mind duel. To determine the outcome of the duel, both characters roll {Character Level}d3 + {Attack Dice}. The loser is the one with the lower total. The loser loses mana equal to the difference in results, and the winner gains mana equal to the difference. If the loser runs out of mana, they receive one level of the "Sealed" status affliction for every 3 points (always rounded up) the character lost by. For example, suppose Player A duels Monster B and A rolls a 7 versus B's 15. A's result is less than B's, so A lost (and B won) by 8 points. A had 4 mana at the start of the duel (note: the casting cost is not actually spent), so A loses 4 mana and B gains 4 mana. In addition, A gains two levels of the "Sealed" status affliction from the extra difference of 4 that was not taken care of by loss of mana.

-Upgrade passive skill "Luck Mitigation" to level 3:

If you roll the minimum you can roll on an attack roll on two of your past three attack rolls, you may reroll the last roll one time. After this skill activates, none of the previous minimums count. (However, if you managed to roll the minimum again on your reroll, that one counts.) The player is the primary one responsible for keeping track of this. The moderator will only verify that this skill is being used properly.

-Upgrade active skill "Provoke" to level 2 (3 CD):

Increases the likelihood you are targeted for one round. You also gain initiative with this action.

-Upgrade active skill "Focus" to level 2 (4 CD):

Instead of attacking, you can increase your focus on the battle. Taking damage causes this skill's effect to end early. Your next two actions have a *2 modifier on their dice roll(s).

-Upgrade active skill "Throw Weapon" to level 2 (3 CD):

Throws your weapon at an enemy for {Attack Dice} + 2 damage. If you roll lower than the ({Expected Roll} - 1) (at this level, the expected roll is 9.0 total including the +2 modifiers; curses lower the required roll and blessings raise it), then you fumble the throw and take half of the rolled damage instead.

-Upgrade magic spell "Tornado" to level 2 (2 Mana):

Choose two targets. Each target takes 2d6 damage (roll separately for each), and if the target takes damage, the target is additionally stunned for one round.
- Power spells are a special kind of spell that are a hybrid between active skills and magic spells. They tend to be really powerful, but they possess both a mana cost and a cooldown. Unlike normal spells and skills, power spells do not possess levels.

One day, Jake the Wolfie is wandering around aimlessly looking for things to do when a goblin attacks him! With a mix of both luck and skill, he manages to survive the encounter. From that day forth, he vows that he will not let up until the land is purged of monsters. Following a lead from a local innkeeper, he manages to stumble upon the fortress of the cultists known as the Occult Clan. He observes the fortress for several days, and then he notices another group of adventurers approach it. He decides to trail the group for some time. After observing them for some time, he exits from the shadows and jumps into the battle fray.

I mostly made it up myself. I would say I was loosely inspired by mastina's An Evolving RPG. Quite a few of the abilities are based on abilities in other games I have played.

Perhaps. I'm always open to suggestions for new abilities.

As three player actions were already submitted, this is technically invalid. However, since you aren't cooldown AND it wouldn't make a different anyway, I can just treat it as Speed Slash which would be valid.
---
Jake the Wolfie angrily slashes not once but twice at Charlie. Alas, in his fury, he lacks self-control decreasing the effectiveness of his assault. (3 + 1 = 4 so far on Charlie {1}.) Not Known 15 steps in to help Jake the Wolfie and has moderate success. (4 + 6 = 10 so far on Charlie {2}.)

Gobanzo begins making complicated gestures and reciting ancient words. Soon, blue and white wisps appear. He points at Charlie and Delta, and the two creatures are thrown backwards. Both suffer major falls, leaving them stunned for one round. (6 on Charlie, 8 on Delta.)

inspiratieloos delivers a swift and precise finishing blow to Charlie. **Charlie is

dead

.**

dsjstr, wanting in on the action, strikes at Charlie with astonishing speed. Sadly, the cultist is already dead, and his slash slices through thin air.

With all the nearby cultists dead, the powers keeping Delta in the world collapses, and the goblin disappears without a trace. Some of you apply first aid as the battle ends.

Congratulations, you have won this battle!

"Well, that was easy! Onward towards their leader!" shouts Allahandra excitedly as the battle finishes. "Wait up! In the air... Danger ahead!" responds Gobanzo in a frantic manner. Allahandra, upon hearing Gobanzo's response, pauses a moment. "Danger? This entire fortress is filled with danger! Plus, the more danger, the more fame and glory we will get! ... ... ... Wait, I can feel it too. Something isn't right up ahead. I sense a strong magical force in the very air," responds Allahandra. Despite the warning, you have no choice but to continue onward. It doesn't take long for the group of you to run into trouble.

"Arggh! So we meet again, do we? This time, I will not wait around passively like last time. This is the end of you, mark my words!" It takes you awhile to recognize the voice. It is Cultist Zyliono, the same cultist who sent his horde of goblins at you earlier! As the battle begins, Gobanzo shouts a few more words of warning, "Careful! More danger up ahead!"

As they come close to Cultist Zyliono, the charm around his neck begins to glow a bright red. The wisps begin to fizzle and flicker before disappearing with a loud pop. **You were unable to obtain information on Cultist Zyliono.**

inspiratieloos begins reciting ancient scripture at an astonishingly fast pace. After a long while, a small goblin appears.

Jake the Wolfie shouts, "Take this, Zelta!" The cultist, upon hearing Jake's nickname for him, begins to seethe with rage. "How dare you!" he shouts. Jake the Wolfie takes the opportunity to attack Cultist Zyliono. (7 so far.)

Gobanzo begins chanting and making various motions with his hands. Soon, blue and white wisps appear around Gobanzo. He makes motions towards Cultist Zyliono and Beta, and the wisps follow his command. As they approach Cultist Zyliono, the cultist's charm glows a bright red, and the wisps fade into nothingness. The remaining wisps begin to combine and send a strong wind towards Beta. (4 on Beta.)

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Not Known 15 takes some time to study the movements of Cultist Zyliono. He learns the following information.

Spoiler: Cultist Zyliono Scrying Information

**(9) Cultist Zyliono : Cultist Acolyte : Level = 9 | HP = 81 | MP = 48 | Morale = 25 | Attack = 1d6 + 1d3 | Defense = 1d3
- Passive Skill "Healing Grace": If an attack causes this creature's health to drop to 1 HP or less (when they were above 1 HP beforehand), this creature will be left with 1 HP instead. If the creature takes damage at 1 HP, it dies.
- Passive Skill "Perseverance": Instead of dying, this creature is rendered unconscious when this creature takes damage at 1 HP. Further damage will kill this creature. Healing items and spells restore unconscious characters to 1 HP, regardless of how much health is healed.
- Passive Skill "Regeneration": While above 1 HP, this creature heals 2 HP at the end of every round.
- Passive Skill "Magic Immunity": This creature is immune to magical damage and magical effects.
- Passive Skill "Stun Immunity": This creature cannot be stunned.
- Passive Skill "Physical Weakpoint": Critical hits (from the "Critical Hit" passive skill) deal double damage (before defenses) to this creature. In addition, the anti-dogpiling penalty is also waived against this enemy when using normal attacks and damaging active skills.
- Active Skill "Focus Attention" (5 CD): Concentrates on a single target amongst those that acted this round. This creature will target the stated target for the next three rounds. (This value includes this round.)
- Active Skill "Call for Aid" (2 CD / 8 ICD): Calls for reinforcements. A random level 8 cultist appears. Roll 1d6: 1 => Blademaster, 2 => Sharpshooter, 3 => Magician, 4 => Acolyte, 5 => Musician, 6 => Summoner.
- Magic Spell "Smite" (3 Mana): Smites an enemy for 1d6 + 1d4 damage. If the target takes damage, the target receives a -2 modifier on all rolls for two rounds.
- Magic Spell "Holy Scourge" (5 Mana): Calls down a powerful curse on an enemy. Deals 1d2 damage (ignores defenses), 2d6 morale damage, and grants a -2 modifier on all rolls for 5 rounds.
- Magic Spell "Fear Arrows" (Cast: 3 Mana | Uses: {Number of Targets} + 2 Mana): Fires blasts of magical energy that imbue targets with a sense of helplessness for 2d6 morale damage each.
- Magic Spell "Forcefield" (Cast: 4 Mana | Uses: {Half Current Mana}): Makes the caster immune to all damage for two rounds starting with the following round.
- Magic Spell "Heal All" (5 Mana): Heals all allies by 1d8 + 1d3 hitpoints.
- Magic Spell "Cultist Ritual" (2 Mana): Uses magic to heal oneself by 3d4 hitpoints.

Having mastered the art of studying enemies movements, Not Known 15 is able to obtain the information quickly. He follows up by attacking Cultist Zyliono from a different direction. (10 + 5 = 15 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) Cultist Zyliono attempts to ward off the attacks.

Not Known 15 used Heavy Blow which counts as 2 to the action threshold, so your action is currently invalid. You are also on cooldown, so you can't use a skill like Speed Slash that grants initiative. You can use the friendship skill "Aid" if you still want to act this round. (Friendship skills work like normal active skills except the cooldown is separate from regular active skills.)

(Also can I cure them, or is that counted as a cooldown thing)

You would probably cast a spell for that.
You could use Cure or Bless; either works; however, in this case, cure is probably the better option. (If you use bless, the blessing and curse kind of "cancel each other out", but the level 1 bless isn't enough to fully negate inspiratieloos's curse.) Casting a spell requires MP, and MP is restored after every five battles or a level up, whichever cones first.

"Well that is done and over with. I can't wait until we return to the town! Our battles will be passed down for generations!" exclaims Allahandra excitedly as she rushes forward. She stops for a moment as she notices something sparkling on the ground. "Hmmm... What is this?" she shouts. In her hands is a dark green orb. You pass it amongst yourselves for a while but are unable to figure out what the item does. You decide to keep it in case it is a useful object.

As you continue onward through the cultists' fortress, you run into a few cultists that you are able to dispatch easily. Soon, you reach a large room filled with all sorts of posters. As you begin entering the room, you hear a clicking noise. You test the door behind you only to find that is locked from the outside. "This is not good," states Gobanzo.

You hear two popping noises. The room, once devoid of people, now has two figures standing in the middle of it. On the left is a tall woman with long blonde hair. She begins speaking, "I must say, I am rather impressed that you have made it this far. How about we chat over some tea?" The other cultist, to the right of the woman, begins speaking, "Cut the chatter Adriana. Let's just get down to business." When none of you react to the name Adriana, the cultist on the left becomes upset. "How can you have forgotten already? Why, why, we had an epic battle and everything!" You look at the other cultist and confirm what you expected: it is Cultist Zyliono again. Some of his injuries from the previous battle are still present. "Enough talk. Though individually, we may be weak, together, we are much stronger. This is the end for you," shouts Cultist Zyliono as he unsheathes his weapon. Adriana follows suit.

"Get rid of the priest; he's easier to kill and the only real threat here!" shouts Not Known 15 as the Murderhobos unsheathe their weapons.

Jake the Wolfie immediately starts on the offensive as he slashes at Zyliono. Unfortunately, he is too busy coming up with insults that he is not paying attention to his attack. (3 so far on Cultist Zyliono.)

Allahandra twirls her sword before lunging at Cultist Zyliono. She is too busy being flashy and ends up using poor technique. (18 + 3 = 21 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) "Give up already! You cannot win!" states Cultist Zyliono as he attempts to parry Jake the Wolfie's attack.

As he begins to point towards Cultist Adriana and Cultist Zyliono, Not Known 15 begins to shout something, but all that comes is fragmented speech as Not Known 15 is still dizzy. The wisps begin to travel near Cultist Zyliono only for the charm to become a fiery red and consume them. The orb in your possession glows briefly while the amulet is still red. The other wisps that went towards Cultist Adriana begin to work their magic, and the cultist is swept off the ground. (5 so far on Cultist Adriana.)

Gobanzo also goes through the same spell motions and recitations and motions towards Charlie and Delta. A moderately strong wind begins to blow against each of them. (4 on Delta.)

Tornado cannot stun her; however, I cannot divulge the specific reason as to why it cannot. If you want that information, you will have to scry.

(Do note that there is a monster codex linked in the first post. It contains info about past scries, and in particular, the scrying info from the last time you fought Cultist Adriana. While the specifics may have changed between then and now, you can expect that they are similar.)

Thu Jul 08, 2021 1:14 pm

Yeah, so I haven't been running this because it seemed interest died, and I didn't think it would be fair to really resolve it when only one heal action was posted. Not Known 15 is still stunned, so unless you use a cure spell (Allahandra has one you could use), I wouldn't be able to resolve the above action. Y'all still have two NPC actions left, and one or two player actions left (dependent on whether you cure Not Known 15 or not). I will end the round when the NPC actions are posted. You can also use a curing potion on Not Known 15 to cure the stun.

Allahandra is quietly singing as she strikes at Cultist Zyliono. (33 + 5 = 37 + 1 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) Gobanzo then makes a swift attack at the cultist. (37 + 1 + 5 = 37 + 6 so far on Cultist Zyliono.)

Despite the fierce attacks against him, Cultist Zyliono continues to stand firmly. Just as it seems he is going to be overwhelmed, the same miracle as last time occurs. The charm around the cultist's neck lets off a bright purple glow and begins to exert a strong force around the cultist knocking several of you backwards and out of range. The green orb in your possession begins to glow and absorb some of the light from the charm. As the purple light fades, the green orb's light also fades back to its original lustre. **Cultist Zyliono has

HP left.** Allahandra makes a comment, "Aha! I think I figured out how the orb works. If you give me some time, I think I can charge it faster!"

Not Known 15 begins making complex gestures with his hands and chanting ancient words. His hands begin to glow a pale green. He points towards Allahandra, and warmth leaves his hands and flows towards her.

Allahandra is no longer cursed.

Allahandra begins reciting words from an archaic language and weaving her hands together in intricate ways. Wisps begin to form in the air around and swirl around her. She continues the spell and even more wisps appear. She ends the spell with a swift horizontal sweep of right hand and points at the charm around Cultist Zyliono's neck with her left hand. The wisps fly towards the cultist's charm and then explode a short distance away. The charm responds by letting out an orange light and absorbing the impact of the wisp explosions. The green orb in your possession responds to the orange glow. It lights up bright green and absorbs the light from the charm. It returns to its usual luster as the orange glow from the charm fades.

Gobanzo takes some time to increase his alertness of the situation.

Jake the Wolfie jumps forth and slashes downward at Cultist Zyliono. He follows up with an uppercut slash. (6 + 2 = 8 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) inspiratieloos follows up with a strong strike of his own. (8 + 7 = 15 so far on Cultist Zyliono.)

Not Known 15 smiles as he begins the motions and chants for a spell ritual. Yellow, green, red, and white wisps appear. He makes a few more motions and then points towards himself. The wisps circle around Not Known 15 before flowing into him. A faint silver spherical barrier surrounds him.

Not Known 15 is protected by a forcefield for two rounds.

Allahandra takes the orb in her left hand while pointing towards Cultist Zyliono's charm with her right hand. She mutters a word of command, and the glowing green orb activates. The orb emits a vibrant green beam of energy, and it heads straight for the charm. Cultist Zyliono laughs as his charm activates with a brilliant purple glow. "Such foolishness! Do you not understand? My charm will absorb this attack as it has the rest!" He shouts arrogantly. The green orb continues to emit its energy ray without a pause, and Cultist Zyliono's charm continues to fight against the incoming beam of energy. At last, the energy of the orb is exhausted. It returns to its original dark green luster.

Cultist Zyliono smiles triumphantly and states, "All of that for nothing! I think it is about time we end this." He mutters a word of command. His charm takes on a dark black glow. It begins to gather up the energy in the air. Cultist Zyliono makes a sweeping motion with his right hand to unleash the gathered power. His smile quickly turns into a frown as he notices an immense heat around his neck. He looks down and sees that instead of unleashing its power, the charm has burst into flames. In mere seconds, the charm is reduced to mere cinders, but not without bestowing Cultist Zyliono with one last gift. The remaining energy of the charm is quickly absorbed and turned into healing power. It spreads throughout the cultist's body and mends his wounds.

Cultist Zyliono's charm has been destroyed.

**Cultist Zyliono has

inspiratieloos begins reciting ancient words and performing various motions. His hands begin to glow a bright green. He points at Jake the Wolfie, and green light flows to him. His wounds begin to heal. **Jake the Wolfie has

Jake the Wolfie strikes with precision and speed at Cultist Zyliono. (7 so far on Cultist Zyliono.) Gobanzo follows up with a swift stab. His meditation helps him hone in on a weak point of the cultist. (7 + 10 = 17 so far on Cultist Zyliono.)

With the end in sight, several of you rush forth to finish Cultist Zyliono. Gobanzo strikes first followed by a swift attack from Allahandra. (12 + 4 = 16 so far on Cultist Zyliono.)

Not Known 15 takes some time to meditate. **Not Known 15 has

inspiratieloos goes in for the kill. He strikes not once but twice at the Cultist. The cultist barely manages to parry the first strike, but the second one lands, and the cultist collapses. (16 + 3 + 7 on Cultist Zyliono.) Jake the Wolfie finishes up with a clean downward slash. The cultist silently takes on his fate without letting out another word. **Cultist Zyliono is

You search Cultist Adriana's body and find 20 silver coins. You do the same for Cultist Zyliono and find 30 copper coins and a Tome of Frost. Check the player statuses post for a description. "Now, what should we do with that orb?" you all wonder with the battle over. Allahandra takes a good look at it and then makes her decision, "It seems it will still gather energy with time. When it is charged, we can unleash its power against our foes." You will be notified when the orb is fully charged. Check the player statuses post for a description of its effect when used. Tired and weary, you setup camp here.

All mana and 5 HP have been restored for the party.

A man casually strolls into the room. He is of average height and has dark brown hair. He is not wearing any armor and appears unarmed. He is wearing a backpack on his back. He sees the group of you and immediately walks towards you. You keep your hands close to your weapons in case of an ambush. "Why hello there! No need to be alarmed; I am just a humble merchant and peddler of goods," he states as he comes to a stop in front of you. You ask him a few questions and learn that he has been trapped in the fortress for quite awhile by the cultists. "It is amazing I have not been captured yet. It is nearly night time, so you should be safe here for awhile." He opens up his backpack and shows you his wares. You exchange 25 silver coins for a gold coin.

Traveling Merchant:

1. Healing Potion (5 Silver): Heals 1d6 hitpoints of an ally.
2. Curing Potion (5 Silver): Cures all status afflictions of an ally.
3. Speed Potion (8 Silver): Grants the "Hasted" status for 1d3+1 rounds to an ally.

4. Scroll of Fire (75 Copper and 2 Silver): Casts a level one "Fire" spell on an enemy: sears an enemy for 1d3 damage and ignores enemy defenses.
5. Scroll of Lightning (10 Silver): Casts a level one "Lightning" spell on an enemy: zaps an enemy with lightning for 1d8 + 1d4 damage. Excess damage is split off to another target, and this process can be chained indefinitely.
6. Resurrection Scroll (3 Gold): Revives a dead or unconscious ally and restores 50% of their HP. They do not suffer the normal experience penalty, but this scroll must be used within three rounds of the ally's death.

7. Weak Weapon Poison (6 Silver): Grants the "Poisoned Weapon" status to an ally. If the user's next attack applies damage, the target is coated in poison for two rounds.
8. Weapon Poison (75 Copper and 9 Silver): Grants the "Poisoned Weapon" status to an ally. If the user's next attack applies damage, the target is coated in poison for three rounds.

9. Cake (99 Copper, 24 Silver, 4 Gold): Restores 50% HP (rounded down) and 25% MP (rounded down) of the user. (You cannot use this on an ally.)

10. Tome of Experience (10 Silver and 1 Gold): Grants 1d6 experience to the user. (You cannot use this on an ally.) (Note: Any changes in level are determined AFTER the current battle concludes.)
11. Tome of Explodification (15 Silver): Teaches the user the spell "Essence Bomb" at level 0 (Cast: 2 MP | Uses: {All Current Mana} MP): Kills both you and an enemy of your choice. For bosses and other special monsters, they take {Attack Dice} * 2 + 1 damage instead. (This damage ignores their natural defenses.) (I will warn you if you try to use this spell against such enemies.)

You toss the merchant some silver coins, and he tosses you two vials filled with a reddish liquid. Throughout the night, you rotate sentry duties while the rest of you get some much needed sleep. In the morning, you get up and press onward through the fortress. In a long and narrow hallway, you run into a few more cultists surrounded by wispish humanoid creatures. They immediately turn to attack you as they see you.

Jake the Wolfie makes two slashes at Beta. His first attack is wildly, but he uses more control with his second one. (3 + 5 = 8 so far on Beta.) Not Known 15 follows up with a powerful stab from behind. (8 + 9 = 17 so far on Beta.) Beta falls backward from the impact of the attacks, but with great difficulty, she manages to stand back up. **Beta has

Gobanzo takes a minute to meditate and reflect on his surroundings. **Gobanzo has

1 stat point can be exchanged for 3 HP or 1 MP. MP is used for spells and replenishes every five battles or on a level up.

For specializations, there are Path of the Berserker, Warrior, Magician, and Acolyte. The former two are more skill focused; the latter two are more magic focused.

Each battle has an action threshold. For this battle, it is 3/1. The first number indicates the number of player actions in each round, and the second is the allowed number of NPC actions. Once that many actions have been posted, I will resolve the round, a new one will begin. I will also sometimes post a timer to keep the game moving; the round may end before reaching the specified number of actions if the timer expires (like I am doing right now).

Allahandra begins chanting and making motions with her hands. Blue and white wisps begin to pop into view. She lets them swirl around her for a while before she points at Beta and Charlie. Both are swept up by a large gust of wind. Beta comes crashing down, and you hear several of her bones cracking as she lands. She does not stand back up. Charlie manages to keep control of her body and gracefully land. **Beta is

Not Known 15 makes a swift jab at Charlie. (4 so far on Charlie {1}.)

Guillotina was an ordinary citizen merely trying to get by each day. That all changed when he was contacted by a cloaked figure. Over the course of the next several weeks, Guillotina received more messages from other cloaked figures. The messages promised great wealth and power if Guillotina fulfilled one simple task. From the start, Guillotina knew the promises made in the messages were empty. But due to their persistence, Guillotina finally caved and agreed to fulfill the task requested of him.

With the task fulfilled, Guillotina sought his reward. Alas for him, his reward was not what he expected. Instead of being given cash, his employer sent him into a magical slumber and dragged him to a massive fortress in the middle of nowhere. When he awoke, he was given an ultimatum: "Join us or die!" Seeing no other option, he agreed to join his employer in their activities. From here, Guillotina quietly did what he told all while trying to find a way out of his predicament. It took several months, but an opportunity finally came. He had heard news of a group of adventurers who had managed to infilitrate the fortress. He immediately abandoned his post and rushed forth to meet them.

Guillotina comes rushing into the hallway from the same direction as the wind elemental. He draws his blade and swings it boldly against Charlie. The humanoid is a bit surprised but quickly attempts to defend herself. (4 + 5 = 9 so far on Charlie {2}.)

With the battle over, some of you apply first aid. One of the elementals left behind a small sack of coins.

The party has gained 12 copper coins.

You continue onward through the fortress and encounter a mysterious door. Various runes and glyphs are etched in front of the door. While you are carefully examining them for traps, the door suddenly opens. Several cultists are shocked to see you outside the door and immediately unsheathe their weapons. One of the cultists rushes back into the room and begins chanting. You are able to sneak a glance into the room and see that there is another large rune etched in the floor. As the cultist chants, magical wisps and particles begin to float above the rune.

inspiratieloos springs forth. As he approaches Foxtrot, the demon desparately attempts to block the attack, but inspiratieloos is too skilled. With a mighty shout, he plunges his blade into the demon's skin. As he removes his blade, more of the creature's foul blood drips onto the floor. (11 so far on Foxtrot.) With the demon significantly weakened, Not Known 15 takes the opportunity to end it. He stabs his blade into the creature. It lets out cry of agony as its corporeal form dissolves. **Foxtrot is

Having banished the demon back from where it came, you press onward through the fortress. You have a few more skirmishes with some sentries that you dispatch with ease. You pass through several more rooms but find the fortress is mostly empty. You finally make it to a room with gigantic doors. You try to open them, but you find they are locked. As you turn around to search for a key or another route, another group of cultists ambushes you.

I guess there just isn't enough interest right now. I'm not going to call the game as finished, but I think we will wait until we have 4 or more people who commit to playing before we start up again. In other words, I am marking everyone as retired for now, so you will have to re-in if you're still interested in this.
