Grueslayer

Call of Cthulhu RPG

I'm mildly interested, but I'd like more details on the plot before I commit.

Hey where'd everyone go?

RP Set in the Samurai Jack universe?

Have room for me too?

Quick update; life took me by surprise as it is wont to do so I probably won't be able to post again until Tuesday.

"You are completely unfamiliar with our Temple then?" Mesu says disbelieved, in response to Lei's question, "In our Order the God Speaker is second only to the Temple Master himself, and it is my job to interpret the knowledge the Gods left behind, and to pass it on to new generations. Your Fan Gang, I believe, was very knowledgeable about our ways -- it is strange that he would have told you none of this. . ."

He turns and waves the standing monks away, who disperse very orderly, and motions for the three of you to follow him through the gates.

They open into a large courtyard with a soft sandy floor -- a great relief after the hard stone you'd been walking on prior -- where three buildings stand; they are simply constructed, with little decoration, though from their walls hang paper lanterns and strung up clay dolls. There is a little more to the central building; two statues flank its doors depicting royal figures who seem a little too tall and a little too thin to be human, with sharp, arrogant features. Some plants dot the yard too, all placed with perfect symmetry like the buildings.

Most of the monks have disappeared, though where to is not clear. There wouldn't be enough room in the buildings to house all of them. The ones that still remain are simply milling about, whispering amongst eachother; they all look native to Waidi, and both the men and women have shaved their heads completely, though some men still have facial hair.

"I would advise you seek out Scholar Ayandri. He is from a distant land, but travelled far to learn our ways and it is he who plans our forays into the City. You will find him in the Library, to the east. Would you like me to show you around our little corner of the world, or is your business too urgent?"

Oh yeah? We were going to watch them on Hulu but that's probably a much better option if there aren't as many commercials. Hell, it might not still be on Hulu anyway.

@rocketrobie2Wait are there people out there who aren't excited about it? Me and my girlfriend are planning on watching the entire original series next month in preparation.

The blind man's eyebrows raise at Haru's question, and he begins trembling. For a few tortured moments the world seems to stop as everyone anticipates his reaction.

His trembling ends when he can hold himself back no longer; and bursts into laughter.

"I think you're the first person to ever say that to my face, or at least the first to ask so bluntly!"

The entire mountain seems to shake until he regains his composure.

"My eyes are useless, this much is true. But to assume I can not see would be truly blind. There are none blind who Master Peng takes in. But where are my manners? My name is God-Speaker Mesu, and I have indeed heard of your Tanka. He came with another man, I believe by the name of Fan Gang. They left our Temple some time ago, with a small group of other men." He sighs deeply, "Many people have left our Temple as of late."

The people behind him bow their heads as he speaks.

Well guys I should have a main map of the City (or what you've see anyway) up in about an hour or two.

EDIT

Map is up! It's on the first OOC page along with everything else. This is just a map of the City as your characters have seen it at large, I'll add more detailed maps of specific locations as we go.

@rocketrobie2Well for what it's worth I thought that your conversation with jumpadraw was very well done.
