Upcoming [Sign Up] Into the Woods: Turn 1

Black Bone Script Regular


Black Bone Script Regular

 

Rapping upon the noticeboards across The Spire is a sullen woman nailing paper to wood.

Her face bleary, eyes sunken in, hairs going white early for someone as youthful as she.

Upon these parchments reads:

 

"To the mercenaries and kind hearts of The Spire, I plead.

I am a huntress of little renown and I have lost my siblings.

Each of us hunters again of little renown. We are all that remains

of our family. Upon landing on the shores of the south, we each

avowed to explore the land and respect its throws. We are hunters

and so we hunt. A dangerous title by trade, we are aware of the risks

it takes to be a hunter of so little renown. The family line cannot end

all at once. I ask hunters of little or great renown to take heed and consider

my plea. I write upon this notice an oath of each my siblings."

 

Aria

"I swear upon my name and my gold, I must travel the rivers. A ferryman hath spoken of plunders at its end."

 

Tamsyn

"I swear upon my bow and my grace. I hope to unbury this land's secrets. Three candles at night guide my sight."

 

Ivan

"I swear upon my might and my splendor. I must find the mightiest beast and slay it, so I might become the mightiest beast. Pearlescent white fur guide me to journey's end."

 

An additional note has been hung detailing the location of the hunter's lodge.

 

OOC

This is an event that has three parts. The goal of the events is to find each hunter. When signing up for this event you will be signing up for one of the missions to save a hunter. Each rescue mission is done differently. Combat can still happen regardless of actions, combat might just be harder for the event focused on it.

-+-

Aria: This will be a socialization/riddle event. You attend this if you've wits and deduction.

Tamsyn: This will be an exploration and mystery-solving event. You attend this if you've curiosity and wisdom.

Ivan: This will be a combat and tension-filled event. You attend if you've bravery and intuition.

-+-

It is to be advised that while each event has a general theme and goal, the goal will change if players act in a manner that sway the behaviors of the given parties. A peaceful  encounter can grow in tension and a violent encounter can be de-escalated.

I am looking anywhere from 3 - 5 players per event. Once the deadline hits (somewhere around next week so  the 28th-30th of May. Depends how quickly slots fill) or when the spots fill up, all chosen participants will placed in a Discord group chat to discuss schedules. Date and participants will be listed in a post after this alongside a summary of what happened in each event.

a sigh echoed into the streets from the open doors of the Rangers’ workshop. Sun placed the notice on one end of the table before bending lower to pull a few scrolls to unfurl across the table - multiple sketches of various regions of the southern reach as well as markings denoting beast and undead sightings. His eyes glanced back to the notice, reading through its contents a third time now.

”mightiest beast huh.. seems that lad’ll be going farthest and least likely to come back .. tsk”

Sun left the table.

Rope,

an Axe,

A handful of arrows to fill the space in his quiver,

two small vials fitted snugly into their place on his belt. 

“Let’s hope it’ll be more than pieces of her brother I’ll be bringing back for the lady”

Spoiler

The information is copied quickly enough, in one of the many pages at the back of his journal devoted to unorganized jotnotes.

The Spire's noticeboard is as unusual as the town itself, if you check it on the right day. By now, Nolune's witnessed threats, numerous declarations of death (and notices from those very same people declaring that they have in fact revived), political debates, the works. Alarming, reassuring, mundane. Side by side, until the weather or more deliberate hands remove the words.

This is why he writes it all down now. Transcribing everything important, down to even the initial plea. He knows better than to take it at face value, the memory of claws in his shoulder stilling him momentarily before he looks back to his notebook. Comparing the original and his replication, and correcting a misspelling before he takes his leave down the street.

Truth or fabrication, sometimes even liars need help.
