Forums » Fantasy Roleplay » Dread 2.... Castle of Horrors!

Almost a decade has passed since the rise and fall of an old kingdom, all that was left standing was a city over come by the trees and vines of a surrounding forest and a single castle in the center of this over grown area! Your town of Hogs Hearth sits just north east of this mysterious area! A town far from the Elvish capital but placed in what was once the kingdom of Thornwood. Now sounds at night haunt the air around this castle and candles flicker within, there is more then one evil presence hidden inside this castle and you are about to venture inside to see!

((How this game works, roll a 1D20 after every post, this game is a lot like hangman, roll a 1 or bellow and you lose a limb or something else, roll three 1's and your character dies! I will give you things like (-1 Mod) or (-2 Mod) depending on how damaged you are or how bad a choice you made was! If you make a good choice I may even give you a (+1 Mod) and that will basically be immunity because you can't roll a 1 if you have a +1 Mod! So good luck have fun and don't die!))

(I'll try to stay alive! )

Soft steps moved through the forest, the small chimes of coins echoed as the person moved over branches, vines, and fallen trees as they neared the castle. A smile of excitement was on a young woman's face, her leather hide boots barely made a sound as she hurried along, the small belt of gold and silver coins jingling as she jogged, her hair trailed behind her was it blew with the wind, the long, black locks almost melting into the night. Her jogging soon stopped, nearing the gates, now covered in ivy from years of growth.

Nyra Lee tilted her head, looking up at the castle before her, thinking about her next move before touching the gate, her fingers touching the ivy gently. She then took a few steps back, taking a deep breath before running forward and jumped, scaling the ivy before jumping down on the other side. She tugged on her leather coat and white tunic underneath to straighten it before making her way to the castle, a skip in her step.

(Would I have to us any Bard spells in this RP?)

(Nah)

The doors seem locked as a tug at them confirms, you knoticed a window up a story is open! You can climb to it or examine around back, but with the statues around the front the window seems easy enough to climb to.

(Don't forget to roll )

Nrya blinked up at the window before looking around the walls. Like the gate, it seemed covered in ivy as well. But could it keep her up? She shrugged and moved to the side, the smile still on her face as she grabbed onto the vines and started to scale the wall to the window.

She scraped her elbow a little pulling herself into the window but she made it up pretty quickly, after taking a few steps away from the window, the glass pane slammed shut! Unable to be opened!! She could break it or continue into the castle, looking forward once more all the candles that were once cold and dusty were now all lit with erie blue flames.

The bard winced slightly as she finally tightened the bandage around her injured elbow before looking around the room she was in. She looked behind her to the now closed window and shook her head, moving around the room. She would stare at the blue flames, looking at them shortly before leaving the room unafraid.

Walking through a new door you find yourself in a balcony over looking a grand dining hall, though there doesn't seem to be any stairs downward you do see seats being pulled out from the table as if a group of people were going to sit down then, from behind you the door slams! You turn back to the dining table and the seats appear to not have been moved at all, odd.
