Rise and Fall of Ammon Seth's Pyramid Game Thread

[Syphon]

Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck.
Strength influences the weight a person can carry, his or her health and how much punch he or she packs.

Perception governs the senses, ranging from touch to sight. This is necessary for the character that wants to know everything and trusts on his or her wit.

Endurance is stamina and physical toughness. The higher this statistic, the more a character can take in terms of physical punishment.

Charisma is simple. A character with high charisma is a people person and can more easily persuade others that his or her way of thinking is best.
Intelligence governs many aspects of daily life. Highly intelligent characters can open up roads that are closed for lesser intellectuals.

Agility is all about being quick on your feet. The most agile characters dodge and dance easily, while those with few points in this statistic are more likely to stumble and fall.

Lastly, there is luck. While not important, it does show through in daily life. The higher the luck statistic, the more lucky the character is in chance encounters.

Each of these attributes run from 1 to 10.
A 1 on any attribute means the character is totally adept without even any common knowledge on the subject.
Any character that has a 10 on any of his attributes is the absolute master of that field.

Standard, all points start at 5.
You have 5 extra points to divide and will gain one every 2 levels (as determined by me)

You can also gain perks every few levels, which will be decided by yours truly as well.

Classes you can pick are:
Architect, foreman, mason, builder and slave.

Each of these has different areas they are good at.
Architects rely on their intelligence, foremen on their charisma, masons on their perception, builders on their agility and endurance and slaves on their endurance and strength.

THIS SHOW IS ON THE ROAD, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!

Not long after the order to build a pyramid, several architects had been contacted in order to see who could design the best ones for the Pharaoh.
The ones that came through the first rounds were few and far between, and only by persevering did the two architects currently summoned to a priest make the cut.

Only after hours of waiting, a priest finally appeared before the two who were waiting just outside of the Pharaoh's audience room.
The man was old, gnarled, wrinkled and bald.
His hairless scalp did little to improve his charisma but yet
this one was a High Priest, no less.
Holding a small roll of papyrus, he read out the names.
"Apkallu" he said, his voice just as wrinkly as his appearance.
"Timgarmand" came after, pronounced as one word.
The priest frowned as he put away the papyrus.
"You two have been selected by the Pharaoh. He was impressed by
your designs and has now only one task left. To select one of you to oversee the building. Come now, and speak only when talked to"

The priest gestured for the two men to follow him and entered the audience chamber. Again, he proclaimed the names of the two.
"Apkallu and Timgarmand" he said, bowing deeply.
Just in front of the priest sat a man on a throne, looking down on the group of three.

"So these are the men that will build our pyramid? Intruiging" he said as he nodded slowly, the headdress on his head letting out a faint whisper of sound as a decoration rustled.
"Tell me, why should we choose either of you?"
Pointing his staff decorated with an ankh at the youngest of the two, he spoke: "You, Greek, elaborate on your plans"
Gesturing at a small table, the Pharaoh sent in a slave, a pretty, young and barechested woman to put the table in front of the architect Tim Garmand.
"Begin" spoke the Pharaoh.



Elsewhere, while the architects had an audience with the Pharaoh, in the slave camps the rumour was travelling fast.
"A pyramid is going to be built and we will be the crew to build it" was the rumour and pretty much everyone agreed with this.
Even the slave Masidus, usually wary of any rumours, was agreeing with the rumour. As he sat around a fire with some of his friends, he voiced his thoughts on the matter...

From the highest foreman to the lowest slave, the buzz about the pyramid was everywhere, holding the minds of everyone hostage.
As such,the foreman Yachmek was also drawn into the talk of the day.
Yachmek's cousin was even telling him how Yachmek would be overseeing the process. Yachmek was doubtful, yet hopeful. Could it be his big break?
He decided to think things over...

[Edit: Your task here, Michael and Wugga, is to tell the Pharaoh about your designs for the pyramid. Luther and Stolin, you two are in conversation with others, for instance the cousin I mentioned or other slaves/foremen, whatever. Write down how those conversations would go]

[Luthervamplord]

{Masidus} Curse Ammon Seth! A pyramid! You know what that means my brothers?! Long hours lugging big stone blocks from the river to the work site with little rest or water! And for what!? So our 'great & all powerful man-god' can sleep well in death!

{Slave 1} Shhh! The guards will hear you! Be careful what you say Brother Masidus, you tread on dangerous grounds with the gods!

{Masidus} Bah! Ammon is no more a god than I am!

{Slave 2} But his bloodline decends directly from Osiris!

{Masidus} Says who!? That's right; him and his guards! Without his guards the Pharaoh would be just as weak and human as you or I!

{Slave 1} So what do you suggest? That we overthrow him!?

{Masidus} Why not? If you consider the maths, there is far more of us slaves than all the guards combined. If we made a plan, we could over-power them and bump off old Pharaoh once and for all. Maybe we could make use of the Pyramid or at least the building of it; the guards will be busy and spread too thinly if we work together.

{Slave 2} You are a brave soul Masidus; foolish but brave. We shall see what becomes of your 'inserrection' when the sun glares down on you and Osiris strikes you down for stepping above your station!
