Silent Hill RPG (IC)

[Renose]

To the OOC

It was a quiet day in a town known as Silent Hill

The welcome sign seemed to be a peaceful and friendly welcoming as its bold, white letters bade you a "Welcome to the peaceful town of Silent Hill"

The streets seemed to be devoid of any life except for the trees that sat watching their small, square plots of land; rooted to them like the elderly man sitting on his rocking chair shaded by the porch, watching with gun in hand to make sure no one steps on their lawns.

The wind whistled across the pavement and through the trees, almost with the small sound of a sighing schoolgirl who is all alone on a weekend, gazing at the stars from her desk with only her studies to keep him company. Yet, their was also an eeriness to it. As if the loneliness of the town echoed in the sighing wind.

Several people were arriving in the town for various reasons. Why they were here only they knew the answer
...or did they...

As they arrived little did they know of the horrors awaiting them in its depths. One such new arrival had already been consumed by the town's horrors. In the center of Main Street a woman ran, her lungs emptying and filling with each quick breath she made. Sweat ran down her face as her legs quickly carried her down the street, but even they were beginning to groan and shake like worn support beams.

Trailing her their appeared to be nothing at first. Suddenly out of a nearby alleyway three apelike creatures leaped out and began what appeared to be a continued pursuit. Their skin appeared to be rotting and several small tendrils lopped down from what could be considered a mouth. Their small eyes bore into their pray as demented laughs escaped their mouths. Their bodies appeared to be shaped like man's, but their movements and laughter were those of the apes. The woman tried to run faster, but the adrenaline pumping through her wasn't enough to have her legs carry her faster.

Soon she fell to the ground, only to scream in terror as the three creatures descended upon her with a powerful leap. They pinned her down, pounding at her flesh with their fists. The woman struggled and cried for help, but it would never come. Eventually her eyes slowly closed as her body fell limp, covered in bruises and welts from the blows of the six fists constantly pounding on her. Now she was in death's clutches, and Death decided to let the beasts sate their hunger.

The creatures soon began to gnaw and rip at her flesh with their teeth, disguisting, yet quiet, noises being made as the meat was ripped from the bone of their meal. Soon the creatures ran off, leaping and laughing with a demented laugh. In their wake they left behind what was once a woman, but was now a mauled pile of flesh as blood flowed out from every bite wound. Her once white sundress was stained crimson in various areas. Her once beautiful complexion had been marred as chunks of it were missing.

The Town had claimed another Victim
And you could be next

What will you do as you arrive in the town, not knowing of the feeding of beasts. You all come for various reasons, whether it be a search for something or just an escape from your life.

Whatever the reason is, there is one thing you have failed to realize...

You are Trapped

Will you become the next victim of the town, or will you continue to pursue the reason why you came here until you reach the truth of it all.

Mystery and Horror await you as you enter the ghost town known as...

Silent Hill

[DarkCrusade]

Ace looked around, hiding in a old home, empty and devoid of any sounds other then him. He slowly walked, looking to the left and right, slightly afraid something would come jumping at him. Fortunately, there wasn't anything to note at all. Just a old home that never truly met its use. The room he was in was charred, smelled like Ash, too. He walked fast to the other room, and silently closed the door behind him, then locked it just in case. This was a room in perfect condition, if not for the dust that covered mostly everything. He took the moment to relax, to think, and sat down. He rested his knife on the ground, and then he gripped his head with his two hands.

He only wanted a vacation, all he remembered was driving, and parking, then falling to sleep in the car. Someone had to bring him here, but he didn't know of anyone who simply dragged people out of cars. And where was his car? He sighed, it didn't really matter anymore about a simple car. Ace got up, and grabbed his knife along with him. The knife looked as if it has cut human flesh more times then people died in the aurelia crusade, which bothered Ace to no end. He walked out of the room, slowly, and attentive to his surroundings. His mind coursed with questions, especially with that nurse. Normal people talk, that thing had bandages across its whole face, and it was holding the knife he held in his hands now. He sighed.

What would he do? There was no-one in the town to explain this to, there was nothing he could do, and the only goal he currently had was getting out of this town. Nothing good comes out of this, but hopefully he'll survive.

[xGabrielx]

"A great writer once wrote "Nightmares exist outside of logic, and theres little fun to be had with explanations; there antithetical to the poetry of fear." Within horror stories there can be, or wont be an explanation, and there shouldn't be one. The unanswered is what stays within us for the longest times, and it is what we'll remember in the end..."

"My name is Alex Warren. I'm the writer, and this? This is my story"

The screech of tires, the sight of someone in the middle of the road, and then a tree right before the crash; these were the only things Alex could remember seeing before waking up within the remains of the car on the side of the road. Slowly he turned his head, feeling a slight twinge in his neck and the feeling of something cold running down the side of his face. Reaching up he wiped whatever it was to take a look at it, still not raising his head. "Blood... Great." He gave a sigh that almost made him sound annoyed that he was bleeding, though he knew it was nothing to worry about. As long as he could walk he was fine, well thats what he always said anyway.

Slowly exiting the car Alex stumbled to the ground, feeling the cold asphalt against his hands as he peered up to take a look down the road; nothing but fog as far as he could see, but right now he had more important things to worry about. Waking up in the crashed car felt like walking from one nightmare to another as he stood up and made his way back over to the downed car, leaning against it with another sigh. "I had to take the trip didn't I?" He checked around for his phone but it was no use anyway since he didn't even know the area code for silent hill so how was he meant to ring for help? Though that was it wasn't it? He was close to the town, he may as well head there and get himself some help and patched up. "Its better than this place" He said, looking up to the large cliff that was beside the road, the feeling of being over shadowed something over him, or maybe it was a slight bit of fear?

Alex knew that going out there without anything was a little stupid to say the least, and he knew he had packed for the trip, though if it was all in tact would be a different matter. Looking inside the truck he pulled his Journal and wallet from the passenger seat, thanking the gods that it was up from with him and very much in tack from the crash. "At least this would make a good story..." He chuckled to himself, trying to shrug off the pressure of the enclosing fog around him. Before moving on Alex started to check the car, everything from the glove compartment to his luggage in the back that was currently covered by the shiny black metal cover. He didn't know if he would find anything useful but the lest he could hope for was something to light his way or a radio...

[SIngemeister]

There was a horrible coughing sound from the engine and the car stopped. Sean nearly slammed face first into the steering wheel before the seatbelt caught him. He looked at the bonnet, and swore loudly at the smoke seeping from the cracks in the hood.
He swung his legs out of the car and swung the bonnet open, coughing harshly and trying to wave away the thick smoke.
"Ah, shit."
He knew it was an old car, but the dealer assured him that all the sealing was up to date. Guy must have being lying. Sean never was good at spotting lies.

He went back into the car, and pulled out his map. Couple of small towns nearby. Shepherd's Glen and Silent Hill. Neither sounded particularly nice. He didn't trust places that sounded too sleepy. Oh, well, no real choice. Here's hoping they have a mechanic and a towtruck.

He got out the car and set out off towards the town.

It was foggy, horribly foggy. He could barely see 20 feet in front of him. Thank God that the road into Silent Hill was good and solid. He was surprised by how quiet it was. He couldn't see any lights or here any sounds, which was slightly worrying, especially considering it was only about one o'clock in the afternoon.
He eventually reached what he thought must be the town. The fog was even thicker here. Visibility had dropped from twenty feet to ten feet. He had to walk along one side of the road to navigate.
He thought he could see shapes off in the distance sometimes, but too often they turned out to be bins or lamp-posts or something similar. He called out a couple of times, in hope someone would hear him. If there was anyone to hear. Place seemed a fricking ghost town so far.

Alex Warren

(Luggage Search-- Circumstance Check Result: 82)

(Damage Dealt from Car Crash: 33)

The search of your luggage would not prove futile, quite successful in fact. You are lucky that you brought a couple things that would most certainly help. Amongst the luggage that you brought there was a Flashlight (with batteries inside of it), a small Compact Radio, a soda labeled "Health Drink", and a Knapsack. The flashlight was a good one that would light up about 30 feet in front of him, maybe 15 feet due to the intense fog. The radio only appeared to pick up static, but maybe it would pick up noise in a better place. The soda maybe in case Alex got thirsty or something. The knapsack would be useful for holding things that you find.

Now all that is left is to head to town and maybe, if you are lucky, find someone who could patch him up. Their appears to be a sign near you, its large bold faced letters stated "Come to Porky's Pork Shack, we have the best Pork in the world, only 1 mile down the road". While the advertisement sign appeared to be slightly rusted, any place would be better than the current one. A fog that seemed to be quite unsettling slowly rolled in, and unless you want to be lost in the unending fog, Porky's Pork Shack may be your best bet.

Insomnia: This person has trouble sleeping, so when sleep comes it is much better for them.

If their Sleep is peaceful by succeeding the Constitution Check then they regain double the normal Health and an extra 50% the normal Mental Health. If their sleep is restful they get a +10 on Will Checks to resist Nightmares. (they can have them if their sleep was restful)

Ace William Oarazen

(Damage Taken from Fight with Nurse: 25)

(Will Check to resist Shock of strange Nurse: 10 (Roll) + 7 (will)-- Failure)

(Mental Health Damage: 4)


Getting the knife from that "Nurse" was no easy feat. Sustaining some wounds against a creature that wields a knife would be expected. The shock that came from the fight would also leave a slight impact on you. The creature's heavy breathing, its inhuman cries of pain as it was bested in a fight, its strange blood lust. All of it would have some impact on anyone's mind.

The room was quite dusty indeed. It gave off a creepy aura in itself despite how safe the home seemed. Probably from the looks of it a small family of four use to live there. Why they left, it would be hard to tell. The town seemed very eerily quiet, and if anyone was here was an easy to question to answer. Not a single item in the house Ace was in appeared to have been moved or touched in a while, why the brochures and websites said it was a rich, peaceful town with a nice population was beyond any speculation.

Maybe there would be something in the small home that Ace was in that could explain something. With a good look around maybe he could find something. Maybe even an explanation of why that strange nurse had bandages all over its face and why its movements seemed....inhuman.

Sean Rothmann

(Circumstance Check: 72, Success) (No Monsters Attracted)

Calling out seemed futile. Nothing answered your call except the lonely wind. Everything seemed very quiet. Luckily, the fog seemed to lift slightly allowing a little more visibility due to what street lights were on, which were very few. Judging by the time it appeared to be 3:00 PM, yet it seemed like it was 6:00 PM. After walking a little more footsteps could be heard.

(Constitution Check: 85, Success)

A putrid smell suddenly entered your nostrils. It seemed to be the smell of blood, death, and fear. Luckily, your stomach proved strong and your stomach's contents stayed within you as the smell seemed to have little affect on you. Judging by the direction it appeared to be coming from the northwest. It may be a good idea to investigate the smell, see what it is.

Or you could leave the smell alone and be on your way, judging by what it might be investigating it might not be the best idea.

Silent Hill- Just ahead.

“Finally…”Loretta said out loud to no one as she past the sign. Loretta had heard of the place, she had even passed through it once or twice, as a short cut on her way to a bit of nightlife in a bigger city. She remembered it as little tourist community near a great big lake. Loretta could have sworn it was much further away. “It’s always a bit hard judging distance in on road you hardly drive down “, she told herself. This would be the perfect place. A little town like this would be the last place someone would look for a person like her…
She felt her car shudder a bit, as she sped down the road. The car wasn’t accelerating quite as much as it should. She pressed the gas petal in vain and the car rolled to a stop in the middle of the road not too far off from Silent Hill. She slammed her hand on the steering wheel. “Damn it…” She whispered to herself closing her eyes. She knew she should have taken her own car. When she took off, she wasn’t quite sure where she was going or how long she would be driving, she assumed his newer job would be a bit more reliable but apparently she had been wrong.

She opened her eyes to evaluate the area around her. A thick fog seemed to have swallowed her up. She could barely see the road in front of her. “Maybe from the lake?” she tried to rationalize, fear gripping the pit of her stomach. She wanted to get to town in a hurry. She was sure we could find some small town sucker to take pity on her until she could figure out her next move. She rummaged through the glove compartment. She really only hoped to find something she could pawn off for a few bucks when she got into the town.

[xGabrielx]

Alex's frown and foul mood from the car crash brightened a little bit as he opened one of his bags and discovered his search did not prove futile, quite successful in fact! Thankfully he had packed accordingly when coming to the town, after all it was located within a underdeveloped area and by a large lake. Among the things that he packed there was a Flashlight, and thankfully with batteries inside of it since it seemed he didn't pack any spares... He should have really let his wife pack his stuff for this trip, but no he had to do it himself. Either way the other things that he was able to pull out from the luggage was a small Compact Radio "Hmm maybe I could call for help?" Alex said as he flipped on the radio, though only static was heard from the other side. It didn't look damaged so maybe he was just in a bad area?

Switching it off Alex reached down and picked up a Knapsack he had found to place the Compact Radio inside, though as he opened it he noticed that there was a soda labeled "Health Drink" inside. He couldn't help but smile at this as he noticed that it may have been his daughter to sneak that in for him. Taking up his Journal he placed it inside of the Knapsack as well, after all it was better than walking with it within his hands. Looking around one last time Alex slipped the Knapsack onto his back and with a flick of his hood he picked up the flash light and pointed it down the street before turning it on, and surprisingly the flashlight was a good one that lit up about 15 feet, though that was likely due to the intense fog.

Now all that was left was to make his way down the road to town, though just as he was about to leave he noticed a sign near him, its large bold faced letters stated 'Come to Porky's Pork Shack, we have the best Pork in the world, only 1 mile down the road'. Looking at it for a moment he sighed and wondered if he should. "Any place would be better than the current one." He countered his thoughts and started to head towards this 'Porky's Pork Shack' as the unsettling fog started to seem to enclose around him, almost like the surroundings itself was trying to consume him.

[DarkCrusade]

Ace started looking around, first in the drawers (which were unsurprisingly empty) and then the closet. He started thinking of what exactly that Nurse was doing trying to kill him, and why it had been bandaged up badly. He knew why it had been bandaged, it had some sort of deep head wound, but all he had seen was blood, instead of the brain that should have obviously been there. He grimaced, wondering why exactly he was thinking of the creature when he should have pushed it to the back of his mind. He did just that, and he put his knife in his pocket, slowly, so it would not cut him later on. He got one point of damage by putting it in his pocket, but it really didn't matter. Ace made his way outside the room, and looked around. "Well, this would make for a great safe house."

He walked into another room, the charred one, and looked outside the window. There was a body outside, eaten up and left for dead. That also meant there would be other people who made the same mistake he did, trying to head to this place. He did not want to take his chances to see whatever had done such. He walked outside, and made his way through a alley, and found a fenced area along with a old rusting truck. He opened the door and went inside it. There was nothing of use, of course, but it had a great seat to sit on in the mean time.

Loretta G. Eulles

(Circumstance Check for Glove Compartment Search: 12, Failure)

(Circumstance for rest of car search: 79, Success)

A search of the glove compartment would prove futile as all that was in there was just a few papers for the automobile, some trash, and a bunch of other useless things. Luckily searching the rest of the car would prove successful. As you search the car after a few minutes you find several things that could actually prove useful that you could either pawn off or use yourself.

One of those things was the murder weapon used to kill your father. A Survival Knife. This knife was stronger than other knives due to its larger and sharper blade. It could even be considered a dagger if this was medieval times, it is probably be assumed that you brought it into the car on accident as you ran away from the scene. A couple of other things were those that belonged to the previous owner of the car.

There was a Knapsack that was in the trunk, a good find for holding things. There was also a pack of Cigarettes that had about 7 left in the pack. Among the items you find you find a couple of soda's labeled Health Drink, a Lighter for lighting the cigarettes or any other small thing you want to light on fire, and a Compact Radio. The radio only seemed to play static though, but it could be useful.

After completing your search, you notice that a road marker sign tells you "Silent Hill, just 2 miles away, come enjoy a nice warm stay at the most peaceful town on earth".

It will probably be a good idea for you to go that way as the fog around you is beginning to get thicker.

Alex Warren

(Will Check for Mind Harming affect of Fog: 74, Success)

The surroundings were unable to consume you though as you surged onward. As you felt this strange feeling you could feel as if...the surroundings were trying to consume not just your body, but your mind and soul. It was an eerie feeling filled with dread. Somehow you managed to surge on through it though with a superior showing of will power.

Eventually after your long trek you make it to Porky's. You see a large cartoon pig dressed in a chef's garb, a big grin on its face as it holds up a large plate of pork. This was the large sign above the restaurant that put the name in big, bold letters that read "Porky's Pork Shack, the best porking pork in the entire world". Despite how dreary the scenery seemed to be the restaurant gave off a happy feel that probably came from how comical the pig holding the plate of pork seemed to be. This was of course if one like overused irony gags.

The sign on the restaurant appeared to read "Open", but no one was inside. The dark interior looked very quiet and eerie. It was strange, why would the sign say "Open" when no one was in. As you look at the restaurant you suddenly hear footsteps behind you.

They appear to be getting closer and closer. The sound of shoes hitting concrete seems to echo throughout the area and reverberate into your ears. You wonder who it can be as the sound gets closer and closer.

(Will Check against fear of approaching steps: 11, Failure)

(Mental Health Damage: 2)

The sound gets even closer, and in a normal situation you would just turn around and see who it was, however; this was not normal. A strange feeling over took you, one of helplessness and fright. It overwhelmed you. Whatever this sound was you wanted it gone and you were afraid it may attack you. Why you felt this you did not know, it was as if the fog was affecting your mind, slowly permeating through it and feeding these feelings into you.

Whatever the case may be you suddenly go out and jump towards the figure, throwing a punch at it as that is your only weapon.

Combat Round- Alex Unarmed Attack vs. Figure

(Alex Accuracy Rate: 29 (10 (roll) + 2 (Weapon Accuracy) + 8 (Accuracy))

Final Result: Attack Miss

Alex Turn End

The punch seemed to just move past the figure who didn't even really need to dodge as Alex sort of just missed. The figure immediately retaliated by removing something that appeared to be a mini version of a baseball bat, but only black, from their general waist area.

Combat Round- Figure Weapon Strike vs. Alex

(Figure Accuracy Rate: 111 (84 (roll) + 7 (Weapon Accuracy) + 20 (Accuracy))

Attack Hit!

Damage Dealt: 14 (3 (Weapon Damage 1d8) + 11 (Restrained Melee Attack, Melee Attack cut in half)

Final Result: Alex takes 14 Damage

Figure Turn End

The weapon struck you on the shoulder and the pain seems to shock you back into reality. You see a woman standing before you and by the look of her blue uniform, items on her belt, and the badge pinned on the front of it she appeared to be a police officer.

"Are you back to your senses or do I have to strike you again?" the female officer asks you in a sort of rhetorical tone.

"The name is Nastasha Williams, but you can call me Officer Sasha" she states as she holds out her badge and ID, then puts it back. "So who are you and what are you doing out here?" she asks.

Insomnia: This person has trouble sleeping, so when sleep comes it is much better for them. Every time someone with Insomnia decides to "Rest" they must make a Constitution Check with a difficulty of 75. If they fail then their sleep gives them little rest (they cannot have Nightmares though if their Insomnia keeps them up) and thus the sleep only restores a fourth of the Mental Health and Health that it would normally restore. If their Sleep is peaceful by succeeding the Constitution Check then they regain double the normal Health and an extra 50% the normal Mental Health. If their sleep is restful they get a +10 on Will Checks to resist Nightmares. (they can have them if their sleep was restful)

Ace William Oarazen

(Scavenging Skill Used, Intelligence Check: 98 (85 Roll + 11 Intelligence +2 Circumstance), Success)

As you scavenge throughout the house to see what you can find, you find a couple of useful items. This house used to belong to some sort of cop as you actually find some of his old gear. You find a Bullet Proof vest, the blue fabric seems to have faded over the years and the white star is no longer visible on it. There appears to be a couple of holes in it where it must have saved the wearer's life. It may not be as good as new, but it will give some protection.

You also find a the old standard .45 Caliber Handgun that the cop must have wielded before. Its magazine only had a few shots left though. You also find 1 magazine of ammunition for the gun as well a good find. This will prove more useful then the knife that you wield. You also manage to find the Cop's Belt. This will allow you to sheath the knife in it and put the pistol in its holster and could also carry a few other items that could be holstered in the belt's various compartments.

After more searching the only other thing you can find is a Flashlight. Not much else is in the house that will provide you use accept for a Strange Key. The Key appears to have a small flower on it that you found in the charred room that used to belong to a child. You decide to take the key with you, just in case. It could be useful.

(Will Check from Fear of seeing dead eaten body: 12 (5 Roll + 7 Will), Failure)

(Mental Health Damage Taken: 1)

Even though you are a doctor and have probably seen dead bodies before, this one was more frightening then the others. It was eaten and ripped apart beyond recognition probably while she was still alive. This thought frightens you, and while it doesn't shake you down to your very core, it is still a scary thought as you think that you could be next.

After leaving the house and going to the truck, your search proves futile, but the truck is indeed quite comfy as you sit in it.

[DarkCrusade]

Ace put the old vest on, covering his bloodied scrubs. Although it was old, it was reliable for at least a few hits. He put the belt on, too, and fit his knife in one of the holsters meant naturally for a gun since he knew he would need the other pouches later on. The key weirded him out to no good, as he thought of how a unscathed and untouched key can survive a whole charred and nearly destroyed room. He did not care much about it after a few seconds though, as he doubted that the key would become useful in his ventures later on. He looked at the gun he found, and unloaded the magazine and looked at how many bullets it currently carried. Ace loaded it back up, and put it in his other holster. Perfect fit, which was good. He smirked, it should come to be useful later on if whatever attacked that woman approaches him. He got out of the truck and landed on the concrete softly, closing the car door behind him. If anything, he made a mental note that he should come back to this truck and sit there again since it was quite comfortable even though the rest of the truck wasn't. He stood there for a moment, thinking about what he can do.

The only thought that truly touched his fancy was finding any people he could. Whatever had attacked that woman outside would no doubt be looking for more of his kind. Ace looked through the fence in front of the truck, and there was a sign on top of a building. "'Tyst Cafe'. Translates to Silent Cafe. Not that fancy." He mumbled to himself, and went back through the home he had found the items, and out the door, then ran across the street, avoiding the corpse of the body he had seen earlier. It was best not to touch it. He walked in the cafe, and took out his handgun, aware that every place he walks into might be a trap. There was nothing in the cafe except the slight flicker of the lights. There seemed to be obvious activity recently.
