But one day, the goblins of the clan have found an ancient secret that can lead to great power: Runes.
But these were not simple runes, these runes were the first runes, those who gave power to the first adventurers.
If the clan can master the use of these runes, they can become stronger than any living creature. To become as powerful as the gods themselves.
But until than, the goblins will need to survive in a world where being a goblin is not easy, the power the runes give them makes it easier, but until they fully master it, their survival is not guaranteed at all. If others will hear about the powers of the runes, the clan will be in great trouble, as adventurers from all over the world will try to get the runes.
So this game concept is a series of matches, each with a map and a goal.
If you remember "Capture The Flag" game from the old forum, it works on a similar way, you have a character who can level through the matches and you keep it.
The game map looks something like this:
So these are the rules:
Every player has 4 stats:
HP - The amount of hit points you have.
ATT - Your attack power, how much damage you deal in a battle.
DEF - Your Defense power, how much damage can you absorb in a battle.
Energy - Energy is used for special abilities.
A goblins starts with:
5 max HP.
1 ATT
1 DEF
2 Energy
The damage dealt is calculated by ATT-DEF=HP damage dealt. If multiple characters attack 1 enemy, their ATT is added together in order to get through the defense. (Yup, this is just like LSN games.)
Every turn, you gain a move action and a normal action. You can use move actions to move up to 4 squares in any direction (not diagonally!), and normal action for attacking. You can also switch your normal action for a move action.
Some abilities might be normal actions or move actions, or have no action at all ("free actions") or maybe take your whole turn.
Other actions (Like drinking potions, picking up items, etc) are usually move actions. If not, I will specify that.
In addition, you can use your whole turn to "rest", resting means you don't fight this turn, and instead take a few seconds to relax. While resting, you have -1 DEF, but if no one attacks you buy the start of your next turn, you regain 1 energy.
Match resolutions: after a match ends, all players who participated gain XP and there will be a "loot pool" to pick from. When gaining enough XP to Level up, the player will level up.
When gaining a level, the player picks either +1 ATT/+1 DEF/+2HP/+1 Energy.
At level 1 (starting level) and every even level after, the player chooses an ability from his selected rune, as listed below.
Available Runes:
Rune Of The Rogue:

Trick Attack: For 1 energy, you make an attack with a 50% to stun the enemy.
Dodge: When ever attacked, you have a 10% chance to avoid the attack completely.
(Each of these requires the rank 1 of the ability:)
