[QUOTE="YeOldeAlbatross, post: 3614089, member: 52884"] [b]The Sitting Duck[/b] Perched at the edge of civilized lands, the small town of Falcon's Hollow has always had to rely on itself to solve its problems. Meanwhile, the uncaring lumber barons squeeze the common folk for every last copper, deaf to their pleas. Now the hacking coughs of the sick are heard throughout town. The plague has come to Falcon's Hollow and the town's leaders can't be bothered to stop it. The Sitting Duck is full this day with the usual crowd of misanthropes and malcontents enjoying a semi-palatable lunch, and more than a few mugs of darkwood ale have been raised. Tongues are freely wagging, as they always do in this establishment, but the talk has a more serious edge today than is usual. [COLOR=Sienna]"This plague, I tell ya, it's going to wipe out the whole town if somebody doesn't do something about it!" "Somebody told me old Percy Tragar died of coughing last night! He won't be the last, mark my words!" "Blackscour Taint, they're calling it?! What in the hells is Blackscour Taint?" "The constables have stopped the use of Brookman's Well. That's where it all started, I heard. But even if that puts a stop to anybody coming down new with the plague, what about those that's already got it?" "What about the churches?

It seems likely that this vicious plague will only continue to escalate in a mounting crisis unless someone intervenes. Your responses to the situation? [SIZE=1][B]OOC: Let's get it started! :) I'd like it if each of you could offer a bit of information in your first post as to why your character is in Falcon's Hollow, what he/she has been doing there, and then respond to the talk in the Sitting Duck about the plague. You could role-play as knowing or recognizing one or more of the other PCs if you wish. Let's make it a great game! :D[/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
