No Roles Left!
Overview
A new choose-your-own adventure game that I am planning, Posting to gauge interest.
You and three (subject to change) other players awaken to find yourselves trapped in a castle. You each find yourselves alone, and trapped in a room. Your dominant hand aches in pain, and you look to find a intricate rune etched into it. Outside, the screech of a metal scraping across bare stone echos off the empty hallways.
This isn't an RP, I'll be giving everyone a list of decisions to choose from every round. There are a list of roles each player can choose from as well, and these roles provide new choices to the decisions you can make, and change the outcome of existing decisions. For example, a Knight would not be able to see the traps a Scout may see, and a Scout may not be able to break items a Knight could.
The game does have a time-gate on when you escape (to be found out in-game), and each round takes five minutes in-game time! So you must be careful with your decisions, but you also must remember that there's a limited number of moves you can take until time is up.
Prizes
Each player who makes it out will get 50k gold, and an egg from any two pets in my stables.
Rules
1) Please be active! Since a round cannot progress until each player has decided, please at least respond at least once every two days! If four days have passed with no response, either other players or I may pick a choice to keep the game moving.
2) Your choices are permanent! Please do not go back and edit your post if you change your mind.
3) Get along with other players! Since you all have different roles, you need to work together to make use of your strengths! Collaboration is needed to escape, so please be cordial with one another.
Mechanics
1) The game progresses in rounds. Each round I will post a scenario for each person, and provide a list of choices. At the end of each round, I will update the time and provide a new scenario.
2) Players will choose actions from a list of options each round. Each role has specific actions they can take, and players should discuss and coordinate their strategies
3) Each round represents 5 minutes of in-game time (if it changes, I will let you guys know). Actions chosen in a round are resolved simultaneously.
4)The game is set against a deadline (ex. the next full moon). Players must escape the castle before this deadline.
Roles
Remember, each role affects the choices you can make in game! This list can be updated with more or decrease depending on player interest. This is only a brief description of the role, further information will be provided later.
The Alchemist- claimed by Eid0lon
Skilled at brewing potions and identifying ingredients
The Mercenary- claimed by Macaroons
Skilled in various forms of combat and has strength + endurance
The Thief- claimed by Star 101

The Seer- claimed by Jupiterr
Skilled at providing insights into the future and can communicate with resident spirits
Sign-Ups
Please reply to this post with the role (or roles if you cannot decide) you want, how active you think you can be for the duration of this game, and any thoughts/suggestions.
