Knights of Legend | Test Drive Meme

[wynn]

Interested in playing at Knights of Legend but want to get a feel for the players/characters/world? Already in the game but want to clown around with other muses to see how they would fit here? Now's your chance!

The setting is our world... but all the legends are real, because magic has spilled over the centuries from a Dungeons & Dragons fantasy dimension called the Shadow World into the modern one. If you have a canon character, they too have spilled over through cracks between dimensions - and remember little to nothing of their past lives, except in some rare cases. How much they remember is entirely up to you! Canon characters can either have recently arrived in this world, or already be settled and accustomed to it. Original characters are natives of either this modern+magic dimension, or from the Shadow World - in which case, they too lost memories on their journey here.

Either way, your characters have joined up with the Knights of the Silver Dragon: a large secret organization dedicated to protecting this world against the evil creatures arriving from other dimensions - and protecting the innocent dimensional travelers from cultural misunderstandings and prejudice that they face here.

Compiled from various memes at bakerstreet . Deal with it.

How it works:
1. Post as your character with Name | Canon if applicable in the subject line. You can choose the scene and prompt yourself or leave it blank for others to decide. Current players can make threads too, if you'd rather tag them!
2. Others respond to your prompt or after going to RNG and entering numbers 1- 15 for a prompt.  
3. Respond and play it out!
4. Part of the fun of KOL is using dice rolls to determine success or failure of actions taken! For the purpose of this meme, don't worry about having a character sheet or stats for your character - if the GM or a fellow player asks you to make a roll to determine something, simply randomize out of 20 and compare it to the number they give you to see if your character succeeds or fails!
5. Play nice. If someone doesn't want to play something out, respect their wishes.

You may use threads from this meme for your application samples!

1. Arrival; Your character wandered into some mysterious mist in their homeworld... and abruptly finds themselves in some part of our modern world, with either all, most, some, or none of their memories missing! Play out their confused first steps in this new world. Get creative about where and what they arrived in the middle of! Many people end up using this TDM as canon or partial canon to their post-Veil history!  As long as you get the consent of those you're threading with, that's perfectly fine. :)

2. Popo Shut Us Down; Oh crap, get to the getaway car! You may be innocent or have actually broken the law, but either way, you've got to escape those sirens because the cops don't know or care that you've got a license to kill and now you're wanted. Car, boat, chopper, whatever you want, just flee the scene together and fast!

3. The Floor is Lava; When spells go very wrong (or right?), sometimes childhood games aren't so funny... or imaginary.

4. Trapped in an Elevator;  Bad luck or part of a villainous trap?

5. Roadtrip; You and the other character are on a mission together but it involves some travel.  How will you handle life on the road together?

6. Trapped! One of the characters is trapped, whether behind bars or an unbreakable glass. Drama and/or epic breakouts ensue.

7. Apocalyptica. It's the end of the world!!11 Evil mages, horrible cults, the tarrasque, world war iii, you choose. The world needs some heroes, so maybe you should get on that.

8. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes:  Whether mad science gone wrong, or dangerous magic, now there are people-sized tomatoes terrorizing the town.  Someone better do something about that.

9. Critical Failure. There's failure, and then there's critical failure - the result of rolling a one on your d20. This is an epic level of fail often reserved for slapstick comedy, but sometimes having really horrible consequences. You just set fire to the book you were attempting to do research with. You just tripped and fell face first into a moat full of crocodiles. Here's a solid example.

10. Weapon Training! The Knights handed you a gun - and gave you access to a massive armory full of every kind of medieval and modern weapon you can imagine. Make use of the combat rooms and get in some sparring time!

11. Handcuffed Together; You've fallen prey to a set of cursed handcuffs, and now you and the other character are inseparable!  Literally...

12. Savior; you've been tasked to save this person, no matter the cost. Maybe they're a stranger, maybe they're your closest friend, even your greatest enemy, but you have to save them. From who or what is up to you!

13. C-c-c-cellmates. Man, getting kidnapped stinks. Break out?

14. Texts From Last Night; Either go to tfln, and select one, or make up one of your own!

15. Shot By Your Teammate; In the heat of battle, accidents happen... and the other character just shot you. At least you think it was an accident. Dun dun dun.

16. Attack the Darkness; A classic dungeon crawl scenario! Never split the party as you make your way through a dungeon full of monsters and traps, looking for some kind of treasure.

17. Passive Aggressive Post-It Notes; Living with your fellow Knights 24/7, whether at the castle, or in close quarters on a mission, means you're going to get on each other's nerves sometimes. One or both of you is leaving passive aggressive post-it's for the other. Either respond in only post-it's back and forth, or roleplay out a confrontation once the notes get out of hand! Feel free to use the Post It Note Generator if you so choose!

18. Awkward Brunch; You've all seen plenty of these scenes before. There are tons of situations that can make things ~awkward~ between two people. And now you have to have brunch together. Uncomfortably pull through.

19. Fashion Show; Joining the Knights means getting a fancy suit of chainmail armor in blue and silver to wear for your Knighting ceremony. It weighs a ton and is awkward as fuck 8D You and the other character are trying them on for the first time together.

20. Another Goddamn Squiring Party:  Squiring parties are exciting!  Until you've been to a hundred of them.. Maybe this one will get spiced up with some drunken shenanigans???

Magic? [Clark doesn't really...like magic. At all.] Any idea what kind of weaknesses they have?

[withasouvenir]

[ a sewer. she narrows her eyes at barry. ur dead 2 me. which is why she brattily corrects him, ] Venomous. I can't believe you sent them to a sewer, Barry. I'm wearing canvas sneakers.

[ gon' be nasty. ]

[picksthenames]

[ Again with the magic! What is wrong with you guys? ]

Not a clue. Speed-punches tend to work on most metas... a little lightning couldn't hurt.

[supertardiness]

[And then he blinks at Cisco because ...]

Lightning?

[Never mind, not important, time to keep Thea from glaring at him.]

I was thinking me and Clark might head down there to drive them back, and then Cisco and Thea can stay up here and shoot them? Like a sniper?

[clarkfuckingkent]

I'm good with that. [He's so curious about Barry's speed okay. This could be fun.]

[withasouvenir]

I do like sniping, [ thea muses, flashing barry a grin that acts as her agreement to this vague inkling of a plan. ]

[picksthenames]

Alright then. Let's do this.

[ It's as much of a plan as Team Flash ever had when dealing with an unknown. ]

[supertardiness]

[Barry nods and they'll head over to the nearest sewer entrance and taps Clark on the shoulder as he goes to head down.]

You ready?

[clarkfuckingkent]

[Clark follows Barry, not really sure what they're getting into, but pretty much okay with being bait.]

Lead the way.

[withasouvenir]

Have fun in the sewers, boys. [ meanwhile, she strides over to cisco. ] What're the odds you have a weapon?

[picksthenames]

Don't worry, I got this.

[ He pulls out a handgun. It's a dangerous multiverse, a guy's gotta stay prepared. ]

[supertardiness]

[Barry hits the bottom of the ladder and steps to the side, before glancing at Clark with a grin.]

Let's do this.

[And off he shoots in a blast of red and gold. Search check for Clark please!]

[clarkfuckingkent]

[And a streak of blue and red is right beside him. He's not... great at searching for things, though. (search 13) whoops???]

[withasouvenir]

[ thea looks slightly impressed, switching out her katana for her bow, plucking a pair of arrows free from the quiver. it's a red that might be familiar, some things just don't change. red was thea's color before roy stole it. ]

Sooo Barry talks about you nonstop. It's nice to finally meet his bestie.

[picksthenames]

[ Cisco checks his gun to make sure it's loaded and the safety's off and everything, looking up once that's taken care of to eye Thea curiously. ]

Uh, we've met? Like, at least twice.

[supertardiness]

[That's cool, Barry can pick up the slack with his good searching skills (search 26). Thankfully, the nagas aren't all that good at hiding with their romantic matching hide checks (hide 4). They're pretty obvious, slithering through the tunnels towards who knows what.

Barry throws in a spurt of speed and skids to a stop in front of them, flashing them a slightly reckless grin.]

Hi, guys. Remember me?

[The nagas are not impressed.]

[clarkfuckingkent]

[Clark appears next to him a half second later, giving Barry a look like damn son. He's officially impressed. He's also not really sure how to draw these guys out... He's mostly just the guy that does the punching. This fancy plan stuff is new to him.]

[withasouvenir]

No, we definitely haven't. The closest I've come to Central City was visiting my mom at Iron Heights.

[ which is ??? a great topic to bring up with a stranger. whatever. ]

[picksthenames]

Okay, someone's really gonna have to explain what's going on? Because first Barry says he's been here for a year, now you say we've never met... Something timey-wimey is going down.

[supertardiness]

[Barry's going to swing in first, going for the punching again (attack 20, damage 10). Naga #1 is not happy about that as it takes the hit and swings to sting at Barry instead (attack 25, damage 7) and Barry pulls back with a hiss.]

Ah!

[He just barely makes his fort save though (fort save 16) so no nightmare dreams for Barry. Naga #2 however is going to turn on Clark, lobbing four magic missles at Clark (14 damage).]

[clarkfuckingkent]

[Clark is slightly confused like are we killing them or making them chase us? Both?? Whatever, it's cool. He doesn't like that one hitting Barry, though. So he rushes over to swing at Naga 1 (attack 26, damage 28).]

[withasouvenir]

Barry has definitely been here for a while, [ thea confirms. ] But seriously, we've never met.

[picksthenames]

Sure, if you say so. [ Under his breath, ] Speedy.

[supertardiness]

[Well, ouch, Clark. The Naga #1 takes the hit hard, failing it's massive damage fort save and dropping to the ground unconscious (fort save 7). Naga #2, on the other hand, immediately casts invisiblity on itself and completely disappear from view, booking it back in the direction that Clark and Barry came in.

Barry looks stunned, first at the fact that Clark knocked out the naga in one hit, but also the fact that the second just disappeared from view.]

Where did it go?

[Listen checks, everybody!]

[clarkfuckingkent]

I'm not... hold on.

[w h o o p s?

listen 26]
