*This is the IC thread for my Past Tense 4th edition game.*
Once you were proud and powerful heroes, hunting down powerful and dangerous foes. The most recent of these was a Lich you've been after for some time now. After several months you finally managed to track him down, beat through his forces, and slay him. Unfortunately, when you went to destroy his Phylactery, it unleashed a terrible curse. Your bodies spasmed and you each fell, twitching, to the floor.
When you awoke, the air seemed even more stale than before and you found yourselves weakened. Exiting the crypt required you to wade through mounds of rubble and walls of webbing - The corpses of the foes you'd killed on your way in nowhere to be found - and the floor is covered in a deep layer of dust which you kick up with each step. Finally reaching the exit into the sunlight, you can't help but stop and stare in awe. When you'd first entered the crpyt, it had been located in a graveyard just outside of town... but now all that can be seen in every direction is Jungle, and a few broken and worn rocks around you that may once have been tombstones. Glancing back, you see the crypt you left appears to be all that is still standing - and that just barely.
A gasp from one draws the attention of all. On the other side of the crypt, down the hill and out a hundred feet, lies the beginning of the largest body of water you've ever seen, stretching out into the distance farther than your sight can follow it.
Just what the hell happened in there, you wonder as the sun meanders slowly across the sky.
[sblock=ooc] It appears to be late afternoon.
As described, the lich's lair was in a cemetery on a hill just outside of a major city. You came out the same way you went in and now stand staring at a jungle where the city should be, and the cemetery has been overgrown. On the other side of the hill is the coastline, and a vast ocean.
