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

Working on a post, though it may take a bit. Life has gotten a bit busy.

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

@rush99999 just wanted to see if you have a post planned before I start to do replies.

Redshift Blues (Space Opera)

I'm interested as well.

And so we begin.

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

The Meeting

You all awaken in a fairly comfortable bed, stuffed with some material to give it a plush soft feel. The bedding is soft to the touch as well, the sheets silken and smooth, the blanket a fine spun wool. Outside of the bed, the furnishings of the room share similar luxury, an exquisitely carved wooden chest, studded with shiny metal rivets that hold similar silvery banding in place, sits at the foot of the bed. Inside, it contains some of the belongings you previously had.

Against a wall in a corner opposite from the door, sits a table with a large mirror, and small boxes sit ontop on either side of the mirror. To the left of the table is an armoire carved from a rich dark brown wood. Inside are various garments made to someone's, likely the owner of this place, rather opulent taste.

As you begin to move around a knock is heard at the door. A voice can be heard stating that a meal will be served soon and that you should gather all you wish to bring with you. The meal is to be served in an hour and your presence is required.

After you prepare yourself and leave the room, a sense of which direction to go leads you to a massive hall where seven masked figures stand in small clusters near a banquet table. Several fireplaces crackle with warmth along the walls as servants tend then and bring food and drink to the table. The smell of roasting meats and vegetables, exotic spices, fresh hot bread, pastries filled with fruits or meat, and rich wines full the air.

At the head of the table a man, fair skinned and pale haired, dressed in a flowing long sleeved green silk shirt and black linen pants, wearing a bronze mask made to look like a fox, turns to face you, opening his arms to you all in greeting.

"Ah, our honored guests have finally arrived. Please be seated and help yourself. My servents will bring you whatever food or drink you desire. After all it is the least I can do for you, my honored guests" he motions to the other masked figures to sit as well. Once all are seated he sits down and motions for the feast to begin.

"I am Mortimer, owner of this fine residence and host of this event. Now some of you are aware of what you are here for. Some of you not so much. For those who do not, you are about to take part in a most wonderful game that some acquaintances of mine wish to partake in. Unfortunately it is something that many look down upon believing to be wrong. They can keep that to themselves, after all why should those with the means to do great things be inhibited by those who do not" Mortimer pauses for a few moments, taking a drink from his nearby chalice. "However that is irrelevant to today. Today you all will have the opportunity to participate a most legendary hunt!" The line is delivered with a sense of importance and pride. "Now a few of you have made arrangements with some of my contacts that in exchange for your participation you will get something, should you survive and honor your terms of the contract. As for the rest of you, well should you desire to make a deal I'm sure some arrangements can be made before we begin. Within reason of course." The man says with a wide smile as he looks over the group. "Now please eat, drink, and be merry for today is such a special day. If you have any questions I will answer them to the best of my ability."

In a moment his expression changes to one of a more serious nature. "Oh and for those of you who might be thinking, 'I'll just kill these people now and be done with it'. There are protective magics in place to prevent any early and unwanted violence and killings. That would ruin the fun for those who have paid to participate in the grand hunt. It would also be bad for business should any of my guests die before the game could begin."

After giving the last bit of information, Mortimer begins to eat. The other masked individuals follow his lead and begin to eat as well.

OOC

The garments in the armoire would fit your character should you choose to wear any of them.

Each of the masked individuals wear a different mask of some predatory animal, all cast in bronze. The mask leaves the mouth exposed while hiding the rest of their faces.

Perception/insight 20

As Mortimer is looking over the group, a glint of recognition is noticeable in his eyes when he looks at Eleanor.

We now have all player characters in the CS tab!

I am still in the process of getting the opening post done. Once I have it posted I will change the RP status to closed and we shall begin.

I look forward to all of your characters and how you all will portray them in this!

@Vertigo I believe blood cleric is offical D&D content, albeit through CR. Let me try to find it and I'll get back with you on it.

EDIT: Found it pretty quickly. I think it will be ok for this. Did you have a deity in mind for this?

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

Gotcha! Now to just decide who'd be a better fit: a pompous vampire dhampir Blood Cleric wrinkling his nose at the way the game is ran, or a righteous Light Cleric trying to purge evil from this world. First would be a more tongue-in-cheekish angle, second more contemplative/serious.

@Vertigo

Both sound like interesting ideas.

Still interested, aye! I'm catching up on my current rps first and then getting to work on that sheet. But yeah, do start without me if you can, should've probably said that even before I left so I don't keep y'all.

@Vertigo

I can start working on the intro post and have it ready while we wait for you.

This RP will not likely have good points to introduce characters. It also appears that at least one other player has some things going on so the RP probably will start next week.

A last minute family visit is starting today on my end. I am not going to be able to post this weekend. If I can post, I will.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

I do not suspect I'll have the post up until Sunday if I do post it this weekend. Thank you for the update though.
