Something will go on in an hour, but for now, nothing.

And I thought Miah have a score to settle?

Chloe - That cheerful girl with ponytail.

Aigis - The male cyborg that looks like raiden in MGR.

Vixen - Half dragon female who looks like Mary in DMC3 when in human form.

((She does, but do you really think she's just going to charging in like that again? No, no, no. Patience is a virtue, observation is a skill, and the execution is the key.

 

I'll post something tomorrow. Right now I need to spend sometime with Miah and then get some sleep. Feel free to go on and post. I'll catch up when I post later.))

Right, we have some time to post.

 


 

The three found their way back to Vixen's house, dinner was prepared and the table was filled with persons. Friendly banter took place over the table, and once food was finished and plates were cleared, G built up the tenacity to ask the question that had been eating away at him. He sipped gingerly at his wine, ((it is a party and all,)) and waited for the conversation to bubble a bit,

 

''Vixen... why does Chloe have to stay in Albion? if she wants to go on an adventure.''

 

The question seemed to tighten the air slightly but the man didn't attempt to brush it off; he took another sip and waited patiently for the question to be answered, or shot down.

And please, call me G.

The town's name is not Albion, but it sounded alright. Should we go with Albion or Abani?


|Chloe|Vixen|

 

Should I tell them?

 

The question ran around in her head hundreds of times. The matter is not something that can be taken lightly. Vixen looked at Chloe, Should I tell them?

 

Should I tell them...

 

Chloe definitely wasn't smiling.

 

Can I trust them?

 

Of course, but do they deserve this?

 

Will Ta-

 

Suddenly, the shadow coiling around Chloe's body starts to vibrate strangely. It's shape distorted rapidly, then dissipated.

 

Shadow dissipated

 

Chloe then groaned as she was attacked by a sudden headache. She felt like her head was splitting. Chloe regained her balance as her headache wear off.

 

"I'm being..."

 

Chloe hesitated as she rethink her decision.

 

Will my friend get dragged into this?

 

Will Taka-

 

Another headache strikes. This time it was worse. Chloe look frightened.

 

"That's enough."

 

Vixen hugged Chloe and pat her head. Chloe weren't crying, but her face was expressing terror and agony.

 

"I might tell you about this later, but not in front of Chloe. We should clean this place up before the curfew-"

 

Suddenly, the lights went out.

 

"What the... THE GENERATOR!"


|Aigis|

 

"Sir! please wake up!"

 

"Shuddap, I'm sleeping here."

 

A riflemen tried to wake Aigis up. He's a new recruit, so he doesn't know how Aigis slept at the bar everyday. Most of the people already went home due to the curfew. Aigis wasn't most of the people though, and the rifleman tried to change that.

 

Leo finished his book on ice magic and was about to leave. He walked over to the rookie riflemen. Touched his shoulder and shake his head.

 

The rifleman's walkie-talkie suddenly rang;

 

[This is HQ, it's 5:55pm, prepare to seal the man gate, over]

 

[This is north gate, Copy]

 

[This is east gate, Copy]

 

[This is west gate, Copy]

 

[A'ight, I'll seal the south gate]

 

[Excuse me, please pronounce properly over the walkie-talkie, over]

 

[Yes sir, Copy sir]

 

The riflemen sighed, that southern gate guy never changed. The rifleman continued to persist Aigis for about 4 more minutes. Leo watched and decided that he'd be better off leaving the two to themselves. He decided to leave.

 

[This is HQ, seal the gate in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5-]

 

Suddenly, everything went quiet and dark Just as Leo reached the door.

 

"What the..."

 

The rifleman looked outside the window, there was no light.

 

It's a black out.


Ok, I'll post the stat of all the other guard and officer and their location in the town. Most of the guard are at the wall, but some are still in the middle of the town.

 

Although the town have some installment, it won't work without the electricity, so i'll skip.

 

I'll leave the monster's stat to wrath. Don't just rush out of Vixen house though, she'll give some briefing on my next post. But you can just rush out if you want to make it interesting.

 

Also, there's no light, so everything is dark. Global +4 penalty to everyone apart from Miah, the monster horde, and certain guard. And the riflemen only gets +2 penalty due to their traits. Some officer won't be effected either.

 

Look at page 12 for the guards stat

 

People in northern wall

 

DSC Riflemen x 24

 

DSC Knight x 6

 

DSC knight commander

-Same with knight, but -4 to agility and halves darkness penalty. Provide nearby knight with -1 to all stat bonus (Morale boost). His armor have golden shield insignia instead of the normal shield.

 

Riflemen commander (the unicorn pony) (give her a name wrath)

-Same with riflemen, but he's a pony. -2 to accuracy. No darkness penalty. Provide morale boost to riflemen like above. Her armor have a silver dragon insignia instead of the normal one.

 

People in western wall

 

DSC Riflemen x 18

 

DSC Knight x 4

 

DSC Knight commander

 

DSC Riflemen Commander

-He's just not a pony

 

People in eastern wall

 

Same with the above

 

People in southern wall

 

Same with the northern wall, but no pony. Also, one of the rifleman have a southern accent.

 

People in tavern (northern west of the town)

 

Adam Nordstrom (the rookie guard)

-same with rifleman. But without helmets. He looks like Leon from resident evil. -1 to all stat since he's a talented rifleman, but he could die just as easily.

 

Leo

 

Aigis

-He's currently drunk. So -2 to strength, +5 to agility, -2 to endurance.

 

People in Vixen's house (west part of the town)

 

Chloe

 

Vixen

 

G

 

Pruria

 

People in northern barrack (near northern wall)

 

DSC rifleman x 15

 

DSC knight x 3

 

Medic x 4

 

Medic is just a rifleman with +2 to all stat but can heal the injury of other unit. Though they can't insta heal like Vixen, they can stop someone from dying. They have a cross instead of a dragon insignia.

 

People in southern barrack (near southern wall)

 

Same as northern barrack

 

*no barrack in the west or east, since they usually relied on turrets and guns. Now they are screwed. Also, the wall have a small window on the top floor allowing rifleman to snipe most monsters.

 

Oh and of course Miah is being a little sleepy in the forest at the west side of the town. You should find a way to come and help Chloe and your friend. The river flows from east to west and so the river on Miah's side is contaminated with some silver. It's enough to keep monster's away so you can sneak along it.

Chloe - That cheerful girl with ponytail.

Aigis - The male cyborg that looks like raiden in MGR.

Vixen - Half dragon female who looks like Mary in DMC3 when in human form.

((Question. When Miah does her thing, she's not going for the kill unless necessary. So, when her opponents do those End saving rolls, could it be only x2 the opposing roll, since it is much easier to knock someone unconscious than it is to kill them.

 

Also, Miah and I are talking about changing her hair color, so we might have that anesthetic have some unexpected side-effects.))

I don't mind.

 

But if Vixen anesthetic changed her hair color, Vixen is going to be real worried because Miah might wanted to "thank" her.

 

Vi: "I seriously need to revise my anesthetic recipe"

Chloe - That cheerful girl with ponytail.

Aigis - The male cyborg that looks like raiden in MGR.

Vixen - Half dragon female who looks like Mary in DMC3 when in human form.

Sorry, I was in a rush this morning, as per usual, going to read that huge ass wall of text now.

 

Edit: Actually, Miah, you post. We have to force and attend to a few other things, I'll be back in about an hour or two; if you can't post until then that's a'ight, it would speed things up becuase I'm occupied...

...that huge ass wall of text...

 

I tends to do it when I got interested in anything. Seeing how I did it a lot here, you know what it means.

Chloe - That cheerful girl with ponytail.

Aigis - The male cyborg that looks like raiden in MGR.

Vixen - Half dragon female who looks like Mary in DMC3 when in human form.

I'll bare that in mind I didn't mean it in a reluctant way though, you should know, I meant it in a descriptive way.

 


 

[Everyone worry!] Said the pony, in her drunken state.

''Wh- what the hell is a generator? Why is it so damn dark?'' The man sighed on the inside, Neither I guess.

 

G stood up and fumbled his way to the window and opened a curtain, letting the room be illuminated by moonlight, which didn't come, ''I think light is broken, or you got some damn black clouds over Abani.''

 

Pruria giggled and put down her glass, [Drunk, drunk, drunk!]

''Oh please don't tell me she had more than two glasses. Vixen, what do we do now? I'm guessing you guys still know what candles are, I hope at least.''

[beer clears us ponies faster as people...]

 

Unbeknownst to the man, he sat down again regardless of the danger; Vixen had, by then, attempted to use her conversation box but it didn't look like it was working.

 

''I'm guessing it's bad that this generator thing is down, would I be right?''

[Yes,] the pony guessed, who was going to pick up her glass of wine once more, but had it replaced with a glass of water, [Very bad.]

First off I like albion better.


Meanwhile, out in the woods movement was stirring. Packs of warg were watching with hungry eyes, slavering jaws eager to tear into the flesh of the townspeople. Yet they waited, something was telling them to stay put for the time being, for in time they'd have their fill. The forest was eerily silent save for the cracking of branches and the odd sniff, time passed. In the darkness an unnatural shadow moved between the gaps of moonlight. Then they felt it, they had arrived, as one the wargs felt the urge to advance, an anger began to boil in their souls and the need to tear and rend flesh grew unbearable. Furious Howls rang out into the night as they frantically charged forward as one massive wave.

 

The moon was almost entirely blocked by cloud, yet for those faint parts that were visible, one could see silhouettes zipping past in front of it.

 


The dark entities game plan:

The wargs won't be able to get inside straight away, they'll begin circling the walls and howling outside the gates. werepires (half men half bats that were mentioned before) will fly in from above using the cover of night in order to wrench the gates open, whether or not they are successful depends on the actions of the players and the guard. Normally the feral creatures wouldn't have the intelligence to work together, but the dark entity is controlling them to a finer degree then the wargs due to their close affiliation with the night.

 

There are 13 werepires in total, and around 34 wargs prowling around outside. If they get in chances are everyone will die. Chances.

There is also one wraith, a physical manifestation of shadow that the entity uses as a avatar to directly interact with the world. If it gets in it will possess one character (may be a guard or person), i'll PM who it gets if everyone is OK with this. It won't happen to later on, but if it does the character will actively work to undermine and hinder, maybe even kill other characters (you'll still have complete control of your character, you'll just be a bad guy secretly until you can be cured) Finally your character will be able to role endurance to see whether or not he/she can resist possession, if the character fails it will be possessed, it will then be able to roll int order to resist attempted murder on other party members if you decide to do that.

 

I imagine chloe will be immune due to shadows, and vixen and aegis will have encountered the wraith before.


Warg stats:

Attributes: Strength — 8d

Agility — 7d

Accuracy — 14d

Endurance — 10d

Charisma — 999d

Intelligence — 999d

Luck — 80d

 

Traits:

Maul: the warg will inflict bleeding upon it's victim with its claws and teeth. Roles strength.

pounce: The warg will leap at it's prey and proceed in mauling them if it is successful. Roles accuracy (note you can role to have your character jump out of the way, if you role lower then the warg gets in accuracy then you are successful.

 

 

Werepire stats:

Attributes: Strength — 9d

Agility — 5d

Accuracy — 11d

Endurance — 11d

Charisma — 999d

Intelligence — 20d

Luck — 80d

 

Traits:

Bite: Werepires carry various forms of blood diseases from the carrion (dead flesh and roadkill, they're like vultures) as well as the few live prey unlucky enough top fall victim, needless to say their bite is poisonous.

Screech: The Werepire will let loose a terrible screech that will severally disorientate anyone withing 4 meters and cause pain to anyone within 15. It's like a flash bang without the bang or flash. Those afflicted will gain +4 accuracy and +1 agility for two actions.

 

Note: Their main focus will be the gates.

 

 

 

Wraith stats:

Endurance — 8d

 

Traits:

Possess: Rolls endurance in order to possess somebody. If you get possessed, please try and keep it a secret, act natural and try to manipulate other players into difficult or even lethal situations, do not give other people hints, they can decide for themselves through your dangerous decision making/ knife into the chest. There will also be no immediate physical changes that will alert people, but 3 days into possession, dark patches will begin to appear around the body. Otherwise the character will appear completely normal both physically and mentally. Eventually after a week, if it gets to that point (and it probably won't, at l;east I hope not as that will be tedious) the characters eye's will turn black.

 

If you really don't want your character to be possessed, tell me and I'll pick someone else.

 

Is everyone ok with this?
