The enemy has come, a vicious, uncompromising and carnivorous enemy. The world has been plagued by an army of beastmen who have a sweet tooth for human flesh. This roving wave of destruction has already destroyed villages, cities, and even entire countries that were caught unprepared. Everything is destroyed or eaten in their wake as they carve a path of utter annihilation.

The beastmen are strong, fast, and deadly even without armor and weapons. From deadly cats to canines the vast majority of the beastmen are carnivorous murder machines with sharp fangs and claws. Thankfully there are few birdmen among their ranks so they do not have much air support but their lizardmen can be very effective climbers against city walls. Few can stand up to the beastmen's pure and furious strength. In beastmen hierarchy only the strongest can be leaders, the Alphas are the rulers of the packs, so to speak.

The latest location the beastmen have set their eyes on is Amethyst City. The city is named after the mines it was built around that just so happened to have one of the largest deposits of Amethyst ever discovered. A booming industry was formed and so the town grew into a large an wealthy town. Of course the mines had to be protected so large and sturdy city walls were created along with many defense mechanisms such as pots of oil, ballistae, guard towers, and arrow slits.

While the defenses are impressive the other ideal part of the city is that there is a natural spring behind the city walls which makes sure that the city never runs out of water, unfortunately food production is limited due to the terrain so that is mostly dependent on the storehouses. Still, because of the water supply the city is able to sustain itself for quite a long time without too much worry. Of course without a sustainable food supply the city's ability to weather a storm is not infinite.


So the basic idea is you are stuck in Amethyst City while it is under siege by the beastmen. You could be an inhabitant of the city, a poorly timed traveler, a guard, whatever you can think of within reason and approval. As time goes on the situation will gradually become worse and worse as more attacks occur and supplies start to run low. One will have to find a way to break the siege or die in the process. That path is up to you.

I'll wait for interest before trying to flesh out the roleplay. Decided with the topic and setting it would make sense to make this an 18+ roleplay as things will get pretty extreme between the viciousness of the enemy and the desperation of the city as things get more and more dire. People tend to get a little off kilter when they are put under extreme stress for a long time.
