[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 701606, member: 9026"] Here goes another try... REPOSTING BACKGROUND AND TERRAN/SETTING FROM THE OOC THREAD TO REFRESH EVERYONES MEMORY: You all arrived over the past 3 years on ships that were wrecked in various storms. Salvaging what could be salvaged, and with a little ingenuity, the survivors of a shipwreck 5 years ago have managed to set up 3 thriving little cities, which are somewhat inter-dependant but self sufficient otherwise. The first, largest city is situated where the river meets the shore, and is called Safe Harbour, a city of nearly 600. About 12 miles west, upriver (a 4 hour walk) is New Hope, a smaller city of just over 200 people. 6 miles to the northwest of Safe Harbour was the site for a new village being set up by 100 people. Recently, the New Village (Which was to be called Forest Grove) was attacked and destroyed by something. Everyone there was killed and only yesterday did you find out what had happened, when a hunter returned from the site with horror etched upon his face to report that he had just found the village, all the bodies ripped apart. The group of you, being the most experienced from your time before arriving here (Though you haven't had any reason to fight since landing here.. It has been a rather peaceful place until now), have decided to investigate this matter, and the city elders have agreed that something needs to be done. Terrain/Setting: There is a great ocean to the East, and a river leading from the west, along which both of the remaining cities lay. Nobody has ever explored much more than 10 miles in any direction away from the cities, and from what you can tell it's mostly fields and forests, there are no mountains in sight, and it's fairly flat land with a few hills. Other than the 2 cities, there are a few dozen farms scattered around, between and around the towns. There's never been any sign of other living creatures except for ordinary animals, and even then the most viscious is the occasional fox come to steal chickens. SO, That's the starting. The Elders have decided that you should head for Forest Groves location to see if you can find any clues, but they recognize that you are more experienced and will let you basically do your own thing, so long as you can find out what killed the 100 men women and children there. As you start, you have just reached the end of the meeting with the Elders (all they know is outlined in the above info), in the city of Safe Harbour. You all know each other from the last few years/months here, and have been formally introduced by the council. You know whatever is obvious about each other and whatever your companions are willing to tell you. It has been about a day since the hunter(A ranger named John) arrived in town to tell what he had found, and according to his story, the bodies had been dead for nearly 3 days when he arrived. However, he didn't search anything, thinking it best to return and inform you as soon as he found the town in such a state. You're up (Finally) EDIT: YEAH!!!!!!!!!! It finally worked! [/QUOTE]
