KINGDOM ROYALE
Hey there! Thinking about short form RPs, which have a definitive end, and Quests, I found myself wondering just how placing them together would work out. Now, I'm not too familiar with the Quest Board so there may already be another Quest running similarly, but, I figured I'd try an experiment! For this, there will essentially be a limited number of posts, with some flexibility, before everything is over. Thirty posts is a decent estimate, I'd think, so long as nothing crazy happens. For it, I'll be using a modified version of the "Kingdom Royale" game from the light novel series "Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria." I recommend checking it out if you have the time. Unlike other, more plot-oriented Quests, the point of this will very much be to win.
Well, I don't have much more to say about this, other than that the game may see changes. Maybe major. The core concept won't change, just the players skills and who needs to kill who. I set this up pretty late, and am rushing to bed, so xP
Other than that, take a look below. Say if it sounds interesting enough to read. It's nothing grand, this is intended to be an experiment, first and foremost. Plot details will be expanded in the Quest, but they won't go about holding back the progress of things. If you want to figure out what's going on, you'll have to do it while winning! There's no time to just snoop around!
And as a uh, footnote, this IS just a check, ATM. I made this very late at night and may or may not have second thoughts by the time I wake up P:
Premise: Groggily, you force yourself out of bed. The ceiling that greets you is unfamiliar, and you quickly realize that you have no idea where you are. Dismissively, you force yourself up from your bed and cast your eyes around the foreign bedroom you've found yourself in. Only plain, wooden, windowless walls surround you, the sole decorations being a pair of lightly packed shelves, and a television on the wall. Unsure how to feel, you can only muster a slight smile. You still aren't sure where you are, but you know why you're there. Because he told you that need to win to have your wish granted. You need to win the Kingdom Royale.

Skills of the [King]
- [Murder]
He can select a player he wants to kill and request the [sorcerer] or the [Knight] to execute this action. He does not need to select.
- [substitution]
He can once avoid being the target of [Assassination] by changing roles with [The Double] for a single day. If he was selected as the target on this day, [The Double] will die instead of the [King].
Skills of the [Prince]
- [Throne Succession]
He becomes able to use [Murder] once the [King] and [The Double] have died.
- [Anti-magic]
He cannot be killed by [sorcery].
Skills of [The Double]
- [inheritance]
If the [King] dies or [substitution] was executed, he becomes able to use [Murder].
Skills of the [sorcerer]
- [sorcery]
He can choose whether to effectively kill the character that was selected by [Murder]. The targeted character will become a burnt corpse.
Skills of the [Oracle]
- [Hindsight]
He can choose a play during their break once a day. If they used [sorcery], [Deathblow] or [Murder] the previous day, the [Oracle] will find out their identity.
Skills of the [Knight]
- [Deathblow]
He can choose whether to effectively kill the character that was selected by [Murder]. Only executable when the [sorcerer] is dead. The targeted character will die due to beheading.
- [Confrontation]
If only the [King] or the [Prince] remain, then you may use [Deathblow] against them. Congrats, you'll win!
Skills of the [Revolutionary]
- [Assassination]
He can assassinate the selected character. He does not need to select one. The targeted character will become a strangulated corpse.
Skills of the [All]
- [Hunger]
Everyone needs to eat. At the beginning of the game, every player is given five [Rations], if you don't eat at the end of the day, then you die by turning into a [Mummy]! Players can give [Rations] to other players, but they can't take them, even if the owner is dead. That means if everyone is greedy, you have to end the game in five days. Or you'll all lose!
- [Murder]
Don't let everyone's fancy skills fool you, good old fashioned killing is an option too! With your own two hands! If you want to execute [Murder], well... Then just 'execute' another player!
