Slaughterhouse Rulez: Zombie Apocalypse at College!

Hmm. According to my count that makes 6 participants overall. I'm liking those odds. I suppose I should ask if anyone has questions before I post the character sheet and the official thread?

Slaughterhouse Rulez: Zombie Apocalypse at College!

@Cleverbird Definitely. I don't want this to be over-dramatic like The Walking Dead (love the series by the way, just not the tone I am going for). I want people who join this RP to have some fun, take some things seriously but for the most part just have fun

Slaughterhouse Rulez: Zombie Apocalypse at College!

Hello! Hello!

Welcome back Ghouls and Gals!

It's DJ Skully, self proclaimed King of the Apocalypse; back with another installment of 'Skully Says!'

Our first message comes from one Nina O'Neal, student at Laughton Community College, she writes:

Dear Skully,

Big fan of your podcasts. I was wondering, you got any idea what the hell started this mess? Was it the government? Aliens? What did this?

Love,
Nina O'Neal, student at Laughton Community College

Thanks for writing, Nina! Well as it so happens your King has something of an idea of how this nonsense happened! Let me tell all you ghouls and gals a little story:

About a month ago, this big ass storm hit our small town of Laughton. BIG damn storm right during the first football game of the season. Just came out of nowhere. Now not everyone saw it but I DID so believe me when I say something happened downtown. This giant column of light appeared and shot up right into the sky. After that, things took a hard left turn into crazy town. People all over town just turned into those wonderful zombies now roaming the streets. Now, the ghouls and gals over at Laughton had the right idea. They shut the only set of gates to get in the actual school. Turns out the zombies aren't so good at climbing metal fencing or a solid 10 foot brick wall. However, that was just on the first night.

As the days went on though, people started to turn into damn psychos. Turns out people tend to go crazy when the living dead start rising. We got guys like this Mr. Mephistopheles guy.....god FUCK that guy. Any of you ghouls or gals see that asshole, just turn tail and RUN. I'm a tough dude but that guy nearly gut me like a fish with a pair of hunting knives! For that matter, avoid the library as well. I don't know WHAT made the zombies but it made other stuff too and the closer you get to the city library, the more dangerous it gets. I'm talking Revenants, Titans, Widowmakers, just the big nasty baddies you REALLY don't want to mess with. Zombies? Easy. Hit them in the head, zombie is dead.

You guys are probably tired of hearing me talk though and want to hear your zombie killing tunes, don't ya? So without FURTHER ado, we'll get to the tune. A personal favorite of mine.

This is "The Spooky Scary Skeletons Remix" by The Living Tombstone.

This is DJ Skully reminding you to aim for the head, and kill the undead!

Sounds like the perfect thread to use my cybernetic hero "Jack Rabbit". I'm in

The Savage Lands: Prehistoric Tribes and Dinosaurs

Alright guys and gals! Idea for this RP is pretty simple. The RP would be set in a time before modern man. Several tribes would exist in this imaginary prehistory. Tribes consisting of neanderthals and cro-magnon. I envisioned a tribe of cannibals, a tribe that has discovered how to create fire, a tribe that has learned to tame direwolves and saber cats, and finally a tribe that has learned to not only train dinosaurs but has learned to ride them. Now history buffs will likely know that humans and dinosaurs NEVER coexisted. Neither did sabretooth tigers, mammoths, and the likes. However, this world will have them all on a nice fictional supercontinent coexisting to the best of their abilities. No knights in shining armor, no siege weapons like catapults and battering rams, just good old fashioned bows, spears, stones, and your bare hands. I'm still working on a proper story but I'm open to suggestions to anyone who wishes to partner with me.

So what do you think? Ready to get primeval?

The Plague Knight Chronicles: Chapter 1

Lucian looked to the large man, Van Ken he believed he'd called himself and sighed; shaking his head.

"They're already doomed. They were doomed the moment the Curse found it's way into the city. The city can still be saved but we can't save everyone. If we try to save them all, we doom them all to the fates of this damned creature in my bag. If you wish to accompany me than by all means try and keep up. Lua, hop to it. Time is of the essence" he grunted. Lucian took his crossbow back as Lua got to work, the Old Raven leaving for Kenfort Keep with Kapti in toe. He knew what his plan sounded like. It sounded cold, insane, evil perhaps. Lucian however understood that sacrifice had to be made. Lucian couldn't weed out the Cursed in time to make a difference. It was impossible. It would take the full strength of the Raven Lord's or at least the combined efforts of several Raven Priests. Lucian sighed as he walked through the Fort's gates, approaching Kenfort Castle. He wished one of the Priests were here. They would improve the chances of stopping the Curse from spreading to the extent Lucian had to allow to properly stop it.

The guards looked towards them and Lucian gave them a look. Perhaps it was his look, perhaps they recognized Kapti, but they didn't stop them, merely parted to allow the men through. They seemed official enough as they proceeded for Lord Hargreave's throne room. Hargreave began to stand.

"Who are you? What is this?!" he said. Lucian raised a hand to show him that he meant no harm.

"I mean no harm Lord Hargreave and we have very little time. Your city and it's people are in danger and unless you wish to be Lord of a graveyard you will listen to what I have to say" he said. The lord frowned.

"Guards! Escort these men out!" he said. Lucian scowled and removed the sack from his belt throwing it towards the lord. The head rolled out, snapping and looking around for living flesh to bite as the guards backed up, whispering prayers. The lord jumped back into his throne. "Good Lord...." he whispered.

"That is the fate of every man, woman, and child here if we do not act accordingly and quickly. Once the sun has dipped below the horizon, they will attack and spread like a fire" the Old Raven said.

Lord Hargreave looked up and once more, asked who he was. Lucian stood up straighter and breathed deep.

"I am Lord Lucian Barret, esteemed member of the Raven Lords; defender of the living from the the clutches of the damned. My apprentice and I tracked the Curse here and found it has taken root in your cities slums. I need your help to stop this from spreading anymore than it has to" he said. Hargreave seemed ready to listen now as Lucian explained what he needed from Kenfort's lord.

Lucian stood between the two bridges, guards standing at attention and spears out and ready. 4 dogs were stationed at the bridges, 2 for each as the people from the slums came swarming in. The dogs sniffed and seemed friendly enough but it wouldn't be for long. The cities guardsmen had been instructed to close all gates of the city and keep them locked. No one was getting in or out until Lord Barret said so. Should one of the dogs begin to bark and snarl, they were to push the people coming through back and raise the bridges. No one was to get through after that. Lucian kept a mental note of the people coming through, counting them as best as he could. The sun was lit up like a campfire but the warm oranges and reds were soon giving way to purples and dark blues.

'Damn it Lua, where are you?' he thought in annoyance.

BARK BARK BARK! BARK BARK BARK!

The dogs on the left bridge began to bark and charge at the crowd. They'd smelled someone cursed. It seemed his apprentice would have to survive on the other side of the bridge then.

"RAISE THE BRIDGES!" he shouted over he chaos. The guards nodded and began pushing citizens back, spears out as others began turning the wheels. The bridges hadn't been raised in years as they began to creek and groan, lifting up as people screamed for sanctuary, to let them across. Lucian tuned it out. He was about to turn and leave when a book landed before his feet. Where had it come from?

THUNK!

Something had landed on their side of the bridge. Lucian grabbed his crossbow and took aim. He was prepared to fire when Lua's face came over the bridge's edge. Lucian sighed in relief and motioned for the guards to let her through as she slid down the bridge into the mud. She was up and grabbing the book, shoving the book into his chest. Lucian grabbed the book and took it looking it over. A journal of some kind. Answers perhaps. Lucian looked to Lua and nodded towards the city, inferring she get some rest and medical attention. Shiara then approached, anger on her face as she asked what the plan was now. Lucian sighed as he put the journal into his belt.

"Now, we wait. The Curse is going to spread to anyone who hasn't had it now but they are now trapped on the other side of the river with no way out. By sun up, those who had been on the other side of the bridge will be one of them. By then, we'll enter the city in force and kill anything that moves" he said in a cool demeanor. It was cold and cruel, but it was a necessary evil. He took no pleasure in condemning people to die, no pleasure in allowing innocents to be taken by the Grim Reaper and the curse but he had to do what was necessary, not necessarily what was right. That was his burden as a Raven Lord, do what was necessary to ensure that others could live....

Fair enough point. I got no issue with you devising some sort of ritual to slow them down so long as it takes time. If you are interested and want to, I can type up the Raven Priest character Fetzen was going to play. Someone Shiara could relate a bit more to and perhaps learn a few things from. That is if you are interested

Perfectly fine haha

@Overlord Thraka

Well we know that the wax that the Raven's use weaken the Cursed, dismemberment kills them along with fire, and sunlight harms them. I got no issue with your mage creating some sort of ritual to slow them down but I'm not too keen on making the Cursed easier to combat. However, it appears Fetzen will not be joining us; I am considering playing the character I had suggested for him that could both help your mage but also deal with the Cursed as well
