Sutch's Woe planning/discussion thread-recruiting now! Options

[Colonel Mustard]

Word!

This is the thread for planning out the Sutch-based RP we (myself, Acadian, Uleni Athram and Darkness Eternal) have started for general discussion of the RP itself.

Also, the title is totally a placeholder one and is up for change. Whether it will be changed or not, well, we'll see.


NOTE: As of 21/01/12, with the beginning of the RP proper, we are no longer recruiting.

The plot

It is set pre-Crisis, in the year 425. There had been a new guild on the rise in the recent years. They call themselves the Adventurers Guild, and they pay handsomely for any unknown region chartered back into the map. They are lead by the charismatic Oedipus Nebraska, himself a veteran adventurer, and they quietly prospered along with the other two guilds in anvil, providing them with updated maps and shortcuts in their travels. They didn't had much monetary backing, only just managing their local chapter in Anvil. But they get a steady influx of willing adventurers, all of them wanting to be paid for their lifestyle.

One particular group discovered something deep in the bowels of Fort Sutch.

Or rather, something discovered them.

The accounts of the lone survivor of that group tell of hunched creatures, supremely pale, pointed ears, and with red, evil eyes. At first, it was decided to be another form of goblinkind, since the Colovian Highlands were infested with them, but the second group that ventured down the depths fanatically swears they were not goblins. They were another thing entirely. Similar, yes, but they had a cruel intelligence that sparks behind those eyes. The third group was lead by Oedipus Nebraska himself, and with him, they managed to clear out the infestation of the mysterious species. They lived in total darkness, and they used a chitin-like material as the source iof their weapons and dwellings.

Along with that, they discovered an irredeemably ancient oaken gate, sculptured with an unknown heraldry, breeming with magic. It was seemingly cut into the depths of the earth itself, and it led further down.

Oedipus, the adventurer that he was, called for another group and with additional numbers, they investigated and entered. As befits the grimdark cliche of adventure, only Oedipus alone came back, nearly dying from the wounds he sustained wherever that gate led. He tells nobody of what transpired there, only that he's eager for another go, and hosts the expedition with both the Fighters Guild and Mages Guild.

Yeah. The cliche horror adventure story, delving in dungeons deep to discover .... something that leads to many deaths and a reward that is of questionable value. That's the plot, boys. I'd wager you've heard far more impressing plots from a two-year old. You guys still up for it. after reading that? LOL

Weeellll.... You're in for a suprise what with all the twists I came up with. I hope. Let's hope that you guys don't see it coming, eh? As for the GM thing, sure. I'll try my hand in that, but incase I muck up alot and don't make sense, we can always vote for the Colonel or somebody else to takeover. That said, I'm also entertaining the idea of a GM Duumvirate. I don't make sense, you guys know that. So I may need help in being coherent, plot-wise. That, and the sadism of one individual is always overshadowed by the brutality of two sadists joining together! HAHA!

You guys have any questions whatsoever? Any desire for a debate or something? I feel as if though I'm lacking in my explanation above, but I can't pinpoint it....
