Certainly the world knows nothing more dangerous than the trade of an adventurer and especially a monster hunter. These hired blades risk their lives daily for personal gain, or perhaps more altruistic reasons entirely, but in the end the risk always remains: What if something goes wrong? That is what this group of hunters got a grim reminder of first hand... Their mark, the elusive creature of the night known to men as the "Wolfwing", turned the tables on them and imprisoned them in a show of man-like cunning.
Will they ever see their friends and family again?



Hello, it's still me! To those new here, this game tells a story of a group of hunters who chose to chase a bounty on a powerful creature, only to find themselves hunted by their presumed prey. Now that they've been captured, what remains is to skedaddle the hell out of the creature's lair... hopefully in one piece by the end. This will not be a long-term RP, instead ending as soon as the (still alive) characters have either successfully escaped or everyone has been mauled to death.

As those joining me from the interest check (hopefully) remember, the general idea will be a little something like this: The group (you, the players) were on the hunt for a creature that has been terrorising local cattle and farmers alike, leaving only a bloody mess behind. Eyewitnesses reported seeing "a giant wolf-like creature with wings", and thus came the name "Wolfwing". A high bounty was placed on the creature's head, but few dared attempt tracking, let alone slaying it: 'Ordinary' werewolves were a challenge enough and one that had wings? No deal. You did not turn this down however, as you trusted in your skills. In the end, said trust was misplaced, and you awaken in an abandoned stone-walled cell with well kept iron bars blocking your way out. The creature was much more intelligent than anticipated.

Now then, as per usual a player needs a character. Background material will be expanded upon in the coming days, but I guess letting people get to work earlier does not hurt. Thus, I present to you, the Character Sheet!


And here's some information about the background. Do remember it will be expanded upon!




On a closing note, the group size I am aiming is between three and five, so there's still space left! If this interests you, don't hesitate to pop in!

Let me in! I'm also interested!

Now that I got in, time to escape! ;)

Edit: And I guess we're stripped of our armor and weapons? And is magic allowed?

You are indeed welcome to join! If everyone from the Interest Check follows me here that would make us a group of four.

Weapons and armour are mostly gone, yes. Magic is widely regarded as Witchcraft (got to add that into the background info added), so I personally would advise against using it publicly. It can still be be a Notable skill to have! Nothing like slinging fireballs though, for obvious reasons.

Using it in public? I presumed the entirety of the RP would be held inside the dungeon. Us, escaping from it.

Indeed. The main problem being the other hunters then.

Yeah, humans preferably, but a case can be made for elves since they are quite similar. Now if we assume all that have expressed interest end up joining we are full. I'll update the topic header momentarily, I can always just swap it back to apply if someone has to cancel.

Don't want lazy to use an image for this one.

Name: Mistletoe
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Personality: Generally caring and kind to friends but ruthless to enemies. Can sometimes get irritated easily.
Appearance: Slim and petite with an oval face, Mistletoe gives a tender aura whenever she smiles. Probably of Asian descent.
Favoured weapon: Bow; daggers for close quarters
Notable skills: Master level archery; good stealth
Notable weaknesses: Weak hand to hand combat; not very observant at times
Background: Not much is known about Mistletoe, not even her real name behind that obvious pseudonym. Her mastery of the bow suggests a rigorous hunter's training, yet her clumsiness with melee weapons points to something different. Mistletoe lives a lone wanderer's life and largely depends on monster contracts. She usually hunts dangerous solitary animals by stalking them, followed by a single arrow to the weakest spot. Her first group hunting in several years led to her current predicament.

Right, here we are:

Made with the assumption that more than just monster hunter weapons are up for grabs. How's it look?

@Lord of Evil
I don't see anything wrong, other than the fact he seems to be assuming there are multiple Wolfwings out there. The creature is, as far as anyone knows, one of a kind. If that is either corrected or left as a misconception for the IC level, you can move them to the Characters tab as well.

Also, your favoured weapons are OK as they are both for "reach" fighting and your character is too young to have really spesialised in anything.
