Curse of Renovamen

Curse of Renovamen

An old man steps onto a crate in the town square and begins his preach.  
Hear my warning and don't go to the Northern Lands. 
For there lies the Tower of Renovamen
Tower of Renovamen is a very interesting one.
There are legends of great treasures and glory to those who make it to the top
Don't listen to such bribes! 
For there you're soul will be anchored! Those who enter never leave! 
To go through extreme pain and suffering, only to find out that not even death can save you from the misery. 
To die, again and again. To feel every second of it. Only to wake up in the first room. Beasts with fangs and claws. Traps that melt off your flesh. The endless limbo of suffering. 
No glory or treasure is worth such agony! 
The Curse of Renovamen is nothing to mess with.
Only those who make it to the top can be free of the curse. And make off with the treasures that lie within! 
Or so legend says.... 
You listen to the Old Man but you brunsh these off as rambling. A tower that prevents death. Please. You're too old for such fairy tales. But you have notice that those who claim they'll go never come back. And promise of treasure? You decide to not heed the warnings. 
Now rules
RULE NUMBER ONE: DEATH IS NOT FINAL. You'll wake up in the first room, unless you have found an artifact that revives you. 
2, no Opness, it's unlikely that you'll be able to make it to the top unscathed. 
3, be realistic, no one can one punch a beast to oblivion. 
4, shipping is fine but don't overdo it. 
5, jerkness is allowed but if you die, you "friends" will most likely raid your corpse than carry you with hopes of revival. 
6, You don't have to be human, I'll allow all walks of life. You could even be a beast with hopes of seeing the outside world for the first time or plan the demise of those pesky intruders. 
7,  Skills,  you can make them up but they can't be overpowered. There more powerful the move,  the more energy it'll sap from you. You can gain skills by reading Skill Books but if you already have max skills. You need to disown one to gain another. 
8, perks,  these are you natural born abilities. Unlike skills,  once you decide them,  you are stuck with them. You can have up to 3 perks but one of them must be bad.
9. Enemies might be closer than you think
10. Have fun. 
Classes
Swordman: This class is good at offense. But needs to be light for their speed so they lack defense. Starts with rusty sword and heath potion. Can have up to 5 skills at a time. 
Mage: a great support class, has offensive and defensive spells but lack physical strength and endurance. Starts with Spell Book (make up what kind of mage you are),  wooden staff and a heath potion. Can have up to 10 skills at a time. 
Axeman: has good defense. Doesn't hit as hard as swordsman nor has as many skills as mage but is able to haddle more pain. Comes with leather tunic, rusty hand axe, and a heath potion.  Can have up to 3 skills.
Archer: good at range attacks, but frail. Comes with worn bow,  20 arrows. (Arrow can be retrieved but the thing it is in needs to be dead if you want them back!)  A dagger, and a heath potion. 
Priest: like mage but focuses on more defensive skills. Comes with Holy Book (like Spell Book) wooden staff,  and heath potion. 
Magic Gunman: expert at guns. But defense is weak. Comes with rusty magic gun,  magic bullet,  and  heath potion.  can have up to 5 skills. 
If you want to come up with your own class,  just ask!

Aster~

What the heck? Small children in brightly-coloured clothes run around a small market-like place. There are stalls everywhere, most with wooden poles supporting cloth draped over the stalls-almost like something to protect it from none-existent rain or something. There are lots of normal-looking cobblestones, just yelling out that they have presssure plates underneath them. It's still inside the tower, so it is very disturbing to see a man walking with an umbrella when the ceiling is just a few inches from his balding head. "Um.... so we just go to the door over there?" I ask hesitantly. Benvolio looks at me pityingly. "Of course not, there must be some kind of trick." I shrug. "Hey, it's worth a shot, right?" I quickly scan the merketplace. Hmmm. I see a small wooden box, seemingly emiting the music. I'm very suspicious of the music. It must have some kind of bad effect on us, but.... I don't feel tired, sleepy, angry, unhappy, happy, not-normal or weird in any way. I feel normal. Mmm. Maybe a delayed effect? I watched as a few children walk over the cobblestones leading to the box. Maybe..... I grab a small child pasing me, and ask as nicely as possible; "Hey, couldja bring me that wooden box over there?" The kid nods slightly, and waddles over to the box, hoists it up into his arms, and then walks back over to me. I nod my thanks and give him a small penny for his trouble. he runs away, leaving me, Stillo, and benvolio to study the box. 

"Perhapssss it'sss a decoy?" Stillo suggests, drawing his sword and scanning the market. I reach out to touch a button on the box.

Stillness. The entire world is still. But then I realise that it isn't still, it's just that people are moving very, very slowly. I stand up, still touching the button on the box, and feel like I'm swimming in water, but I still move slightly faster than the others.\

Sorry, gotta go!
