The Tragedy of Emain Maha - mabinogi suggestion game
« on: December 27, 2011, 03:13:24 pm »

This is another story set in the Mabinogi/Mabinogion world.


On the night of a certain Samhain (Sunday) at midnight, there were reports of Fomorians escaping from Koil Dungeon. Everyone assumed that only weak ones like goblins or kobolds were attacking and did not pay attention until it was too late. A large scale attack was under progress, and civilians were cut down left and right far before the local guards and the paladins of Morrigan were able to respond. The monsters that escaped were not the kind to be fettered by a bunch of farmers holding pitchforks...



*image from Mabinogi


You wake up from a bad dream, in which everything you held dear was burning, letting off clouds of black smoke and accompanied by the acrid smell of charred flesh. Except that the smell was real. Very real.
You go to the windowsill, and see houses burning, smoke rising, people running and soldiers marching. You see a woman who is mercilessly cut down by a black-clad warrior, an old man with a sword exchanging blows with another black soldier, a small band of guards running across the plaza, and one of your friends tripping and falling, pursuited by an ogre.  You close the curtains again.

Slumping down on the wall, you try to recollect your thoughts and break out of the sleep-induced stupor. Who are you?

(1) What is your name?
(2) What gender are you?
(3) How old are you?
(4) Are you physically strong, or are you more of a thinker?

(5) What are you going to do?

(1) What is your name? Jack Lunason
(2) What gender are you? Male
(3) How old are you? 19
(4) Are you physically strong, or are you more of a thinker? We are neither, we are the shadows. Where others walk in the day we flit from shadow to shadow, and at night we rule. We are fast, and cunning, but we are weak thus we must strike from the shadows.

(5) What are you going to do? Find a weapon

(1) What is your name?
Eosri Draketooth.

(2) What gender are you?
Male.

(3) How old are you?
(tempted to say 10 for in-universe hijinx, but naw)
17

(4) Are you physically strong, or are you more of a thinker?
More of a thinker, but *some* strength is needed to back it up, no?

(5) What are you going to do?
Look for a way out with few or none of the black-robed people in that direction.

You are Jack Draketooth, a Male, and is 18 years old. You are more of a thinker, but some strength, you have too. Also, you flit from shadow to shadow, are weak, and are fast&cunning.

You first look around the room. There is your bed, a drawer, a cupboard and a wardrobe. There also is a small desk. Your window is closed by a cloth curtain, and a wooden door leads to the rest of the house. There might be a weapon rack somewhere.

[spoiler=Jack Draketooth
Gender=M
Age=18

Stats

HP 100
Intelligence 15
Strength 10
Dexterity 15

Inventory = nothing[/spoiler]

Search the drawer, cupboard, wardrobe, and under the bed, also remember and access our secret stash of stuff behind the loose board on the wall.
