Forums » Looking for RP » Looking for More: Raid of Aftbide! (closed)

The title explains the premise of this thread. There's five pages worth of writing right now so to streamline the process I put together a lousy summary of what's happened so far. I know its rather big but bear with me, I included only information that I thought was important (sometimes in quips, like this!). Aside from paranoid_party and my characters there is nobody you can't be (though if you want to be on of the knights I'd suggest asking paranoid_party first.) I hope its not too painful to read.

Aftbide is a village in the middle of cold nowhere, its only unique feature being that it rests under a great mountain; the lord of that village lives in his castle on said mountain.Its not visited often by common folk other than merchants during the summer who come to trade for certain goods. One night the village is taken by a villanous clan of bandits and their chief who kills the local guard and keeps the surviving villagers prisoner as they eat the stores the locals harvested for winter. Nobody outside the village (except the lord) knows anything is wrong so the bandits get away with this for two weeks.

Then my oblivious character Tara shows up hoping for a place to stay after she climbed down from that big mountain. The bandits, disguised as guards, try to kill her and steal her stuff so she defensively kills one and injures the other before running into the alleyways. To see if the town really is occupied by brigands she goes into a house to investigate; thats when she's grabbed by Katja and her Knights of the People! The knights are there at the lord's request to deal with the outlaw problem. Initially they think Tara is a bandit but once that's sorted out they strike an uneasy accord to fend off the bandits who are now knocking down doors to find the intruder(s). Katja mentions there's a blind albino fellow they need to defend in the meantime, so when the bandits show up they do just that (after the blind boy accidentally ruins their ambush). One of the militiamen named Drake murders a few guys; so does Katja, but in the process she accidentally blew a gigantic hole in the side of the building with alchemy (whoops.) So Tara points out they should leave and they do that too, just in time to see the building collapse behind them. Since the village has no walls they're able to just walk out of it into the woods.

The Knights of the People have a camp nearby that they go to to tend wounds and plan another attack. But when they reach the edge of said camp blind boy Marcello notices there's a magic protective ring that would expose his true identity as a Cambion (half demon.) Tara sees Drake is revealed to be an orc and figures Marcello can't be all that bad and tries to coax him across... only to see what he is and accidentally bring the camp mage and orc down on him. There's a brief chase, Tara tries to defend Marc and fails. Then she and Drake argue and he takes them back to camp (Marc unconscious, Tara pouting and him also pouting.)

Then things calm down for the night. By the way, the knights managed to snatch one of the bandits (named Kerik) during their battle. He is awaiting interrogation and possible torture in the morning. Don't worry, he probably deserves it.

Like mentioned before, this is a sandbox fantasy setting; there are orcs, demons and "irish" people in this rp so don't be afraid of including unique or chaotic characters. At the time I post this the position for the bandit chief is also up for grabs, but don't worry, even if nobody claims it I'll just provide my own interpretation of them. And the local lord might be, too. I'm not sure. he's already written to have hired the Knights of the People, but nothing else has been described about him.

I might jump in on this RP with Atoli (but I don't quite know just yet, I don't want to get too much on my 'rp plate')

I'm hope more people join in! You guys have some quality posts that deserve attention.

I think what's gone on here is some amazing rping I would love to join in with if you don't mind me fantasy horror character.

You wouldn't be overextending to me in this situation, I think we've all got a decent rapport. Also, many thanks!

I'm not sure which character you're referring to and I am curious, but the forum is open so basically as long as the character has generic fantasy aspects they're welcome.

Can I give it a try?

Yeah, its open for newcomers. Doesn't necessarily need to be at the camp, either.

I'll be using Tom Jones from my Demons character page if thats allright?

Sounds fine by me!
