Locations

The hunting grounds: A demi-plane maintained by the founder of the Syndicate for the purposes of discretely, at least from the majority of the masses, hunting humaniods for sport. Due to it being a fabricated existence, there are multiple regions that people could try to hide in. Massive mountains riddled with caves, swampy mangrove clusters, frozen tundra in near constant blizzard states, thick ancient seeming forests, open rolling plains, and so on.

More to be added.

A Most Dangerous Game (2014 5e D&D)

Alright as some already know, this RP is loosely based on The Most Dangerous game, as well as other films and novels that have a similar concept. Here players will be playing the part of the hunted, people abducted, coerced, promised wealth, or by some other means drawn into this elaborate set up for those in positions of wealth or power to pursue and kill normal people.

I will put this out here in the fist post, once this starts there are not likely going to be points in the story to introduce more characters. Character death is also probably going to be more likely in this game. Stats will be done with point buy, 27 points more specifically, for simplicity. I will have players take maximum hit points for each level, this is done to help with allowing characters to live a bit longer. All characters will start at level 3. All source books from the 2014 5e rule set are legal for this game.

@rush99999, @Vertigo, @XxFellsingxX, @Guardian Angel Haruki, and @N3v3rM0r3 you may go ahead and start posting character sheets here in the OOC.

I do not plan on starting this just yet incase others who are interested wish to throw their hat in.

To all interested or in the game if something comes up and you cannot post for awhile, please let me know and I will work around that as best as I can. I do not want you to feel left behind and will do my best to give a summary of events that occurred while you were away.

More detail for this game will be added, probably in the next couple of posts that I will have reserved, as well as information for certain NPCS to be posted in the characters tab.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I believe Haruki wants you to roll again, with advantage, and take the highest roll.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Aurora

"Well initially we did not think we were in a position to try to fight Bavlorna head on. We had a semblance of a plan but that fell apart rather quickly and we lost whatever means of surprise we had. We did try to regroup and form a new plan, which was useless once we found out that she had fled."

Aurora shifted away from the door to allow Gabe and Zavakri to go in there. When Rearden mentioned the name Isolde, it triggered a brief memory from the evening at the carnival. The Misters had very quietly talked about this Isolde, and they were avoiding her. "I'm not entirely sure who that is, but I believe Witch and Light were trying to avoid her. Could be another hag perhaps."

Shortly after entering, Zavakri called out that the stags head was in there a slight wave of relief passed through Aurora. "Good, let's grab that and find Gabe's missing dice. I agree, the sooner we are able to leave this swamp the better." she said before she redirected her attention to Sshizna. "I'm not sure where you are seeking to go, we are heading for Thither soon, hoping to reunite with the rest of our group.

I do have a few questions of my own for you though I suppose I'll ask the most pressing one first. How long have you been here?" While she did not expect an answer, Aurora figured that if Sshizna had been here for awhile, she might know more about Bavlorna and her coven than what the group knew right now.

OOC

Rolled history with disadvantage.
First roll was a nat 20, 25 total.

Second roll was a 18 total.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

So the results on this one was interesting.

First roll was a nat 20, 25 total.

Second roll was a 18 total.

Not sure what an 18 will get me in this.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Would Aurora possibly recognize the name Isolde? I only ask as it was a longer time ago for her when she first went to the carnival than the others.

Edit: clarification on attending the carnival to specify that I was meaning the first time she went.

Wanderings in the Lost Realms

The Esjour Plains

Delgren smiles some hearing Kilona accept the offer. "Good once Yori returns with the others we will proced into the tunnel. Any preparations you need to make do so now. I do not expect the perpetrators to be in there, however that does not exclude them from setting traps to cover their trail." He said before stretching his arms out to eliminate some stiffness. He sets his spear and shield to the side briefly to check through his own gear to make sure he had what he may need. Out of a small pouch he removed a crystal and affixed to shaft of his spear. He tapped it twice it began to emanate a dim light that made seeing inside the tunnel easier. Once the crystal was lit up, Delgren stuck into the passage to peer further into it. A few seconds passed before he pulls the spear out and impatiently paced while waiting for the others to arrive. Soon after he started to pace, the human returns with two other humans, and a stout looking dwarf. After giving directions to them, Delgren heads over to the tunnel motioning to Kilona. Once ready he hands Kilona a small crystal similar to the one affixed to his spear. "Here, incase we get separated this crystal can emit light for a few hours. Nothing special needed, just tap it twice to activate it. I've found it useful when traveling through tunnels where things might be hidden or obscured and light is needed to help. It can be used more than once, it just takes a day or so. Are you ready?"

OOC

If Kilona takes the crystal she aquires a torch stone. This item emits light similar to a torch, though dimmer, in a 10 bright/10 dim foot range and lasts for 2 hours. It has one charge and regains the charge the next day.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Jørmund

Jørmund listened to the others discussing family and how they considered the others here as part of their family. As he looked back at the three in the cart, he noticed Flicker turning to face away from the others. He did look at Aura for a good moment while trying to decide if she was serious in what she meant.

He turned back to face the road and continued to plod along the cart, his mind pondering on what this group actually meant to him. The last three years of travel with them, people joining or leaving, the nearly loosing someone while trying to chase of some problem of another town or village. It had been quite the adventure since leaving home and the cold northern pine forests nestled on the low mountains.

These were his people, all five present, and all those who were not. Sure they were difficult at times, Jørmund was sure he irritated them with his antics as well, but at the end of the day they would all settle down eat meals together when they could and watch each other's backs. It was similar to how it was back home and yet different. In the north, to survive you did rely on your neighbor and hope they could help you, especially when the winter winds blew. With these people, Jørmund knew they would help him, and trusted that he would help them when the time came.

The crunch of the frost under his boots reminded him of late fall, the whispers of the approaching cold and hard times. It was strange to feel it in the middle of summer down here where the cold rarely reached. The recognition if the sentry as to who he was was almost as unsettling and surprising as the cold. Jørmund knew his story had been told, though aside from the bard he met days ago he figured that story mostly stayed up north. The expressions of the folk uplifting some as he and the others made their way to the town square. To the earth genasi it seemed as though the home here were not built to retain the heat from the hearths and keep the cold at bay. They should have moved as many people into as few structures as possible to save warmth and fuel for the fires. "Have these people never seen cold before?" he asked aloud wondering how cold it actually got here, and if the deal with the imp would have been better than he had thought.

Before getting an answer from anyone, Cascade had motioned for him to follow her, a look of mischief on her face. Jørmund wasn't sure what she was wanting to do only shrugging in return. Before he knew what was going on she had held his hand and led him over to the gnome and half dragon that were arguing nearby. He caught just enough of the argument to know that both were right to an extent. However when Cascade introduced him and said he was an expert on the matter, Jørmund couldn't help but stammer a bit flush with a bit of embarrassment.

Fortunately Aura stepped in and corrected Cascade, giving the cleric enough time to gather himself. "Aura is right in that we are hear to help. I would not call us experts either. With that being said it seems you two are at odds. Do you know where the fleet is and how much fire wood do you have in your stores? What defenses do you have around the harbor?" He asked hoping to learn more about what the village had to work with. Hopefully there were defensible positions where the raiders had to land, or could be forced to land. They would likely be using flatter bottom boats, easy to pull ashore and back into the water when needed. The raiders knew they would be vulnerable when landing and would account for that when the decided to attack.

"Do you know who is leading this fleet?" The answer to this question was one he was concerned about almost as much as the answers to his other questions. It would also let him know how daring and clever the raiding party would be.

Potential D&D idea

Quick update here, I am still planning on launching this game, perhaps next week or the one after. Whenever I can pull the threads of the idea back together after this awful weekend.

Surpringly, least to me, writing in these RPs that you are are in with me is helping deal with the grief some. Hoping to get replies out in time for other threads.

Best to all of you, make sure to take care of yourselves.
