He's there, I added him right away. Check again, hes number 7. I put him below your Japanese dude :D

@Frengo

@MrMinerGuy142

It's probably because I missed out his title "Legionarius". I'll update that for you, as I can see it causing confusion for others further down the line.

EDIT: Done :D

@Frengo

Thanks. Yea, Legionarius and Gunsō are both ranks actually. They are "Legionary" (In Latin) and "Sergeant" (In Japanese) respectively. Just in case anyone tries to call my character "Gunsō" rather than his real first name "Haruka."

@MrMinerGuy142

That's a good job you said that. I figured out "Legionarius", but yeah, I thought Gunso was his name.

[MrMinerGuy142]

Also, the UNSC? Lol. UNSC Marines are probably my favorite sci-fi grunts, right next to the grunts of the Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40k.

Yeah, I was high lighting the probability that our characters aren't the first to have stumbled into the nightmare realm :D

Random Monster Events

Insanity vs. Faith

His name was Bishop Thomas of Berran, and he was the Minister at the Church of the Creator. In better days, when the sun still graced the land, and where the farms and cottages still hummed with the happiness of the living, he was a good man - he was a compassionate man. He dedicated himself to God, and aspired to walk in the shadow of Christ. The locals loved him as a father, and knew him as a great human being.

Now, he is a broken shell; when the land fell to darkness, he was spared but also cursed. He is immortal, and the lurking evil leaves him well enough alone. Thus, he has been living in isolation for a very long time, perhaps centuries - though time is difficult to measure in a land where night blends into night.

As the only living native of this strange land, perhaps he holds answers as to what this place even is, and what caused it to become this way. Seeking him out at The Preist's Hovel might provide the answers our characters need to work towards an escape.

But be warned, for the Bishop is no longer known for kindness. He is deranged, his mind lost to oblivion... and alas, he no longer can recognise the living from the dead, the Heavenly from the Demonic, or the real from the imagined.

Actions to Take:

Knock on the door

Knocking on the door of the Bishop's dwelling will result in him yelling out curses, and incoherent parts of the Holy Bible. He will only get louder if your character tries to calm him down.

Sneak In

Sneaking into the Bishop's dwelling is risky business. If he spots you, he will attempt to bash your skull in with the nearest blunt object at hand. He wont even stop to ask who, or reason why. More than likely, he'll be singing hymns as he launches his attack.

Still, if the character remains undetected, perhaps they can surprise and disarm him.

Fight!

knocking the door down, and storming in all guns blazing, or all swords swinging, will see the Bishop coming at you with a large golden candle stick. The Bishop is an old man, and insane - he's no fighter, and you'll be able to kill him easily enough if you're a skilled warrior, or have superior technology/powers at hand.

But here's the catch.

If you kill him, you kill your only life line to your respective universes.

Restrain

Over powering the Bishop, and securing him (tying up, holding in a lock, etc), will prompt him to break down in tears. He will sob, mumble incoherent words, but occasionally you'll make out the following:

"LORD FORGIVE THEM, they know not what they have DONE!", "Sin comes from sin, and from sin comes destruction, and from destruction comes sin, and from sin comes the end." and "Smoke. Bricks. Scorched timber. THEY SCREAMED SO LOUD! MAKE IT STOP!" He will mostly repeat this over and over.

I will provide a clue as to where to head next, if a character achieves this option.

Fix

The Bishop is insane, and beyond the help of most. However, if you have powers that can calm him, or skills in dealing with a disturbed mind, you may be able to make him coherent enough to understand properly.

If this happens, I will provide a more detailed account of the priest's ramblings.

[Frengo]

There ya go, there's a plot device for one of you to walk over to eventually. Added to the monster tracker.

@Frengo

Do I ask for you to roll for me? If so, yes please do.

If not, do you choose randomly?

[Frengo]

The system is simple. I allot a number to each character, from 1 upwards. And then, I will periodically ask Mr. Random Number Selector to pick a batch of unfortunate characters. For ease, and to stop the RP choking up with too many monsters, I will usually roll for about half the active characters at any one time.

And then I roll a virtual 7 sided dice.

1 - Small group of easy enemies.
2 - Large group of easy enemies.
3 - Small group of medium enemies.
4 - Large group of medium enemies.
5 - Small group of tough enemies.
6 - Large group of tough enemies.
7 - Is... is that a Balrog?

I'll then put a little counter on the map, showing an image of the selected enemy, and its direction of approach. - Redundant idea, replaced by the Monster Tracker page.

I'll add the monsters to the Monster Tracker, along with a link to the post on the OOC in which they were created. Players will be given a brief description of the monsters, and will also be provided with information on how the monsters will react to certain actions taken by the characters. You do not have to go by what I say from word to word, the information provided is simply a guide to assist you.

Monsters will be scaled according to their victim. For instance, there is a big power or strength difference between a World War 2 Japanese soldier, and a steel-plated magic warrior from Magic the Gathering.

You then try to not die.

@Frengo

@Will I have updated the System info on the OOC page to reflect any recent changes I made to it, but what you see above is all you need to know about how things work around here :)

[Frengo]

@MrMinerGuy142 FYI on your zombie buddies.

Berran Woods

A squad of zombified American GIs, who are stalking Gunsō Haruka Kazuko amidst the trees.

UPDATE: Haruka killed one, and ran from the rest. They have now vanished, but will ambush him periodically until they have all been slain. They will usually appear during a moment of respite, such as sleep or when Haruka feels at ease.

I'll leave their reappearances up to your discretion.

@neogreggory FYI, Monster Tracker updated.

Fort Buckmere

Three Werewolves, who are hunting Arth Bek.

UPDATE: Arth pushed one from a castle tower, though his sword was still buried in it. It is presumed dead. He injured the other two by tipping over a brazier on to them as they climbed the walls; however, they have now chased him into the keep and are searching for a way inside.

Berran Woods

Oh...I thought it was Bervan...whoops.

Berran Woods

@MrMinerGuy142

Oddly enough, I misspelt it as that as well.

Yeah, the text on the map is a little hard to read on some parts. Probably shoulda done something with that. Ah well, you guys get what you paid for, and you paid nothing, so.... :P

EDIT: Just going to make it easier for everyone to find and look at the map. You'll see a new link in my sig and the "Helpful Links" section in a sec.

Map

[neogreggory]

A problem chaps. I've not a laptop, and may not have one for several days. Or months. Hopefully not months. Anyways, of course I'm typing on something I hear you mutter to yourselves... My 3DS, however I used my laptop to charge my laptop, so I've only so much battery unless I find some charger hidden away. I hope to see you lot again soon, goodbye.

[Rusalka]

Huh... I'm kinda sad with the turnout. :( I was hoping this would get more attention than free pudding and fellatio.

[Framing A Moose]

Imma post tonight, when I have time to write a starting post.

[Rusalka]

BOSS:

"Is it real, or is it just another grim hallucination of hers? As reality and her twisted imagination begin to blur together into a gory and abstract piece of art, the creature shambles toward her, flesh and blood dripping from every orifice of its body, producing a wretched, disgusting odor. Its wails, like horrific shrieks of the damned, rattle the entire room as it spreads its wings and takes flight, ready to devour Danielle's soul and drag her into the fires of Hell itself....where Alessa waits.

Danielle has no choice. If she wants to escape the church alive....she must fight it."

@neogreggory If the American president can find time to heal the rift between the U.S and Cuba, you can find a charger!

Huh... I'm kinda sad with the turnout. :( I was hoping this would get more attention than free pudding and fellatio.

@Rusalka

A man my age shouldn't need to "Google Define: Fellatio", but I did, and now I have grown more as a person.

But yeah anyway, I think we're doing alright. Free isn't as popular as I remember it being, and I think people probably perceive Free as an orgy of one-liners and major derping, so we're kinda denying ourselves the Casual player base... but that's fine with me. I want this RP to be accessible to anyone and everyone :D

But hey, guild politics and marketing strategies aside, well done on another great post! I have absolutely no interest in Silent Hill (more of a classic Resi Evil fan me self), yet I'm hooked on Danielle's story. I'm looking forward to seeing how she gets herself out of that pickle.

I'm loving that boss, by the way. Well done yet again for taking initiative! I'll add it to the Monster Tracker.

Imma post tonight, when I have time to write a starting post.

@Framing A Moose

Awesome :) I look forward to reading it!

[Rusalka]

@Frengo *bows* Thank you. I assure you she will survive but not without any scars. And yeah I got alot of things planned for her. I'm a fan of the classic RE too, but not as much as I am Silent Hill. I just love the characters and the over-all grimness of the series, especially how it plays on the whole "We are our own monster" mentality.
