Criers filter through the streets, announcing that a call has rung out for people to assemble at the town hall. Save the criers expressing urgency, details about the contents of the oncoming announcement are scarce.
Wholly unrelated, lately there have been rumours about the sounds of clashing metal-on-metal in the nearby forest; the source is of-yet unconfirmed, but the suggested causes are as mundane as bandits and supernatural as the wails of the dead. It couldn't possibly be the latter, though. Right?
Following the announcement, several key details about the situation were revealed. There are undead fighting each other in the forests, lots of them; several of them carry particularly valuable-looking kit; and, most importantly, they match the description of War Wanderers.
COMBAT - Dangerous, but retreat will be an option.
DURATION - each fight against the undead will likely take about two hours.
THEME - the dead rise, rise, rise- and fight amongst each other
REWARDS - various scavenged pieces of equipment from the War Wanderers- assuming the party successfully deals with them. some of those pieces might even be particularly valuable...
PLAYERS - up to 3 groups, soft cap of 5 players per group.
OOC INFORMATION
First and foremost, after the announcement is ICly made, I will be updating this topic with the most important details discussed in the announcement.
Suffice to say, though, it's safe to read into the image I chose to represent this event.
SCHEDULING
The announcement is scheduled for December the 18th, 10pm EST.
Regarding signing up as a group for whatever the real event is, sign-ups for that won't open until after this announcement has been made ICly. However, you can still try to get organized beforehand so you can sign-up as soon as it's over.
Sign-ups for groups will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. After the announcement ICly and you've organized your group, DM me on Discord. You don't necessarily need to organize it in-person ICly, but I will be asking why these people would be working together; if you fail to give me an answer I like I will not accept your group. It doesn't need to be a long answer. An example of a reason I would accept is if these characters are all/most-all part of the same in-game group (such as the Van Pelts or the Hospital.)
