[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 5188765, member: 834"] [sblock=That depends...]In the movie I think you are thinking of, no hero died defending the village. But in the movie that inspired the movie I think you are thinking of... four out of [U]seven[/U] didn't make it. That's more intimidating. To know which movie really inspired me, take a hard look at the title. [B]Humanitas Severe[/B] is latin for [B]The Harshness of human nature[/B]which I think is fitting to the theme. But look deeper... :D [/sblock] [sblock=Raiko] That was nice! [/sblock] A long silence follows Raiko's declaration. Then the gates slowly opens [COLOR="DarkRed"]-''I recognize you as a brother in arm from the Iron army, sir. Our gates open for you. But I have to ask you to reclaim your sword yourself, however, as the curse prevents me from restitution. Oh, and... huh... it landed in manure. Sorry.''[/COLOR] Neva laughs gaily. [COLOR="Magenta"]-''Oh, I am so happy. It is the gods that sent you, surely, right on the eve of an attack. Come, let's get inside, we don't like to keep the gates open for long.''[/COLOR] The heroes enter the village. The houses are all obviously very recent, most are still in fact tent. This looks like a millitary camp that was constantly expanded and slowly became permanent. Which of course, is exactly what it is! You see six men that are clearly Iron Shougunate scouts and seven other adults plus Neva. There are however about two dozens kids. [COLOR="Magenta"]-''You need to pay extra to be allowed to kill a kid. There are fewer coming in but they usually last longer so we have a lot of orphans.''[/COLOR] Neva explains grimly when asked about this state of affair. The camp is built around a massive boulder that looks vaguely like a big head. [sblock=Religion 15]That's not a boulder. That's the collapsed essence of a divinity (A very minor one bv the size of it).[/sblock] A stern looking human walks toward Raiko and holds his hand in greeting. [COLOR="DarkRed"]-''I am Sir Tevense Hamua, leader of the Seventh Brigade of light infantry of the seventh army. You already met Miss Neva Autheer. We are in charge of this little village.

As mentioned, Tevense and his squad stumbled by accident in Arcadia during a recon mission through a forest and were captured. Everyone has similar experiences. The village was built progressively six months ago, slowly gathering population. No one is knowledgeable about the nature of the desmene; no one knows much about Arcana. This morning a booming voice resonating through the desmene warned the villager that they had to disband the village and resume dutifully their role as prey or the village would be taken apart and the survivor be horribly tortured.
