Welcome, Adventurer.

This roleplay is set in the universe of Goblin Slayer. There will be no canon characters present, nor will players be playing as any of them. Apart from some minor changes, the roleplay will hold true to the rules and settings of the original material. The people who will be participating in this roleplay have been invited prior to the creation of this thread, if you have not received such an invite, you are not eligible to join at this moment.

Thank you for reading this disclaimer.

Synopsis:
Palisade Town is a relatively small town on the frontier-outskirts of the nation. It's named after the wooden palisade that surrounds and keeps the settlement safe from the dangers and monsters outside. Thankfully, nothing too threatening dwells in the immediate vicinity of the town, so it's a perfect location for new, untested adventurers to come and begin their careers - and this is where you come in.

Be it that you graduated from an academy, completed your training at a temple, left your rural village, finished your studies with your master or just happened tos tumble into town, your days as a fresh-faced and budding rookie adventurer are about to begin! The time has come to sign up at the Guild, take on quests, grow strong and forge your very own, enduring legend! ... Or die pathetically in the very first week, whichever comes first.

Weapons, armor, magic, treasure, adventure, dungeons and monsters all await you! ... And goblins. Lots and lots of goblins. Like, seriously, scores upon scores of the little blighters.


Rules & Regulations:

Please follow these rules, to ensure everyone is having a good time!

1. No Meta-Gaming. If you know something your character doesn't, then they don't know it.
2. No Character-Controlling. Don't take control or make another prson's character do something - let them act or react on their own. Be patient.
3. No Power-Gaming. You are not invulnerable, unhittable, inexhaustable or otherwise impervious. If you get hurt, you bleed and feel pain. If you get hungry, you want food. If you get poisoned, you will grow weaker and weaker and possibly die. There are no Kryptonians here.
4. No Prior-Knowing. You are not Goblin Slayer. You are not Spearman or Witch. You are a fresh, new, inexeprienced adventurer who has not gone on any (or at least not many) quests yet. You don't know the best way to defeat monsters, nor have you learned the best stratgeies or tactics. Those will come with time, not be present at the start.
5. Be Civil. Discussing, arguing and disagreeing is fine, just be sure to not start outright insulting or bashing each other. Be constructive and resonable towards each other.
6. Have fun! We're all in this to enjoy ourselves. If something is irking you or you're not feeling the desire to keep going, speak up! We'll try to work something out.
7. If your character dies, you may rejoin as a new character of the same (or lower) Adventuring Rank as the character who perished. But you may not join as a higher-ranked character.

It's alright. Sometimes random rael life stuff comes up and we can't do anything about it. As long as you inform me, or anyone else in the RP, about it, there's nothing to worry about.

Hmm, I suppose I could couple that idea with the one already suggested. They're very similar after all.
Sorry, couldn't keep it in. I really, really wanted to post this. xD

But at least you've got something to do now, Vertigo. Enjoy. :3
Meanwhile, on the east main street of Orario:

There was an awkward silence all of a sudden. Many heads were turned and looking at the source of the stream of insults that had just left the lips of a young Renard, standing alone and pointing in the direction of the two arguing groups.

Slowly, but steadily, any nearby pedestrian began to shuffle and slink away from the young fox-girl's immediate vicinity, discreetly for sure, but doing it nontheless. The reason? Well, both groups of angered and upset hot-heads were now focusing their fiery, dagger-peering eyes at the young woman with the big mouth.

For what seemed like a miniature eternity, nothing happaened. Nothing at all.

But then it did happen. Something.

"The heck you say?" One of the larger more hulking brutes exclaimed with a voice that sounded like his vocal cords had been brushed with a cheesegrater.
"Who the hell are you, bitch!?" One of the other group's members cried out, a butch-looking woman with a nose-piercing.
"WHo cares!? This brat needs some attitude-adjustment!" Another called out.

And then, as if some divine power had interfered and unified their hearts and souls into a single, glorious and hive-minded higher entity, the two previously bickering sides had joined together in perfect harmony... Only to let out a sudden, combined, unanimous roar:

"GET HER!"

At this point, any on-lookers were clinging to the walls of nearby houses with their backs, staring on in a mix of amusement, horror or disbelief as six armed, dangerous-looking individuals now raced towards a single, seemingly unarmed young girl who had said far too much It would only take a few seconds, unless the girl turned and started running herself, before the pack of enraged boars would be upon her and deliver swift, merciless Orario justice to the outsider...
What does everyone else think? This a good idea?

I'm pretty sure its the people who're smelly, not necessarily the stalls... xD
I'm actually not double-posting out of self-restraint, more than not being allowed. If I start double-posting in the IC, you guys wouldn't see the end of it. :P

As for the trial, it's actually a fairly important part of the Prologue. If your characters can't figure and accomplish at least two of the hidden goals needed to be accepted, you'll actually be kicked out of the Familia and, most likely, starve to death in the streets because nobody else'll take you. :P

Of course, there are always inteeresting bits, you just need to find them. What we could do is you guys post short posts about what your character wants to do for the day, or time period, and if anything in particular comes up, I would inform you. Like for example:

"Ayame decided to use the time between noon and evening to go browse the market for potential deals."

If something interesting came up, I'd send you a PM or post something like:

"As Ayame was wandering about the market stalls, wrinkling her nose at the various unpleasant odors that assaulted her nostrils, she spotted Doneth Skrayer over by a jewelry merchant, furrowing his brow at the selection."

You could then either choose to engage the "event", or simply go on to somewhere else. This way, it'll also be easy to sync up timelines and such, because everyone will use a "piece" of the day to dedicate to something, if you get what I mean.

That's just an idea though, if you got any better ones, I'd love to hear'em.
Duoya and me should be finishing up a collab soon-ish, and after Risque posts something, I'll be able to finally get to deal with Ayame's shennanigans.

I also want to check with you guys how you want to handle Athena's trial.

As you've likely guessed, you're all going to get the same deal that Dahlia got. So my question is:

Do you want to actually play out all 7 in-story days, from morning to when you go to sleep? Or do you want to do summary days where you bunch together everything you did that day? Do you want to do a mix of the two? Or do you have another suggestion or idea for the trial period? Lemme know, I want what you lot want. :)
So, how is everyone doing? And how is everyone enjoying the roleplay thus far? I know we haven't gotten that far into it just yet, but I think the posts up to this point have all been very enjoyable and fun to read. You've all done a good job portraying your characters, how they think, feel and act - I always look forward to reading the next post from each of you. :)

Hopefully, I'll be able to do a good enough job portraying and differentiating the NPCs, so they don't all get very same-y and bland once we get to meeting and interacting with all of them.
Collab with OwO posted. I wouöd've posted more in response to Ayame, Vertigo. But honsetly, the post was already nearly 8,500 characters long, and like I said with the collab I made with Risque, I want to try and keep the length down to a more... Manageable, level.

For this reason, I'll address Ayame, Torran and whatever Leela gets up to in my next post!
