Dark Forest Roleplay.

Post Reply New Topic

It's simple really. Each one of you is given a flashlight and a backpack full of food and water. An axe is also issued to each and every one of you. You are all traveling as a big or small group depending on how many different people participate.

The landscape is very twisted. Dark colored trees that lack leaves are scattered across the land. A grey heavy fog flows across the ground. The ground is mostly dirt with a few patches of grass here and there. Abandoned barns, cabins, cemeteries, and churches are occasionally found as you venture into the forest.

The axe is used to ply or break down doors so you can go into buildings and can be used as a weapon. The flashlight is for the obvious reason of seeing where you are going. Extra batteries can also be found in the backpack.

Remember, make the world vivid and imaginable. Give the inside and outside of the building a lot of detail. If you can, try to creat a story to go with the Roleplay. The world is infinite.

I've joined the group in the hope that they will help me find my half-sister, Lori, who wandered into the forest and never came back. I have offered the group my services as a Bard in exchange for their protection. As we enter the forest, we pass a cemetery that has mostly turned to rubble, and I sing a song of being laid to rest. Lori, gentle soul that she is, used to sing this song for dead creatures she would find at the edge of the forest. This connection with her brings me comfort.

At the edge of the crumbling cemetery is a well-built church that is completely intact. It is a simple country church, but it has a tall spire and an ornate metal fence surmounted by spiral curlicues. The fence has a large gap in front that allows access to the church. The heavy white doors of the church have a broken iron chain and padlock dangling from them. The chain does not look rusted; it appears rather as though someone might have broken it with an ax. I turn to the adventurer next to me and suggest that we enter.

I suggest we do venture in the church. I heard for some strange reason that it had a caticomb. We should get out our axes and chop away at this door. The door actually looks pretty withered and weak. We should be able to break through it easily.

I start to chop.

Ok after some chopping we get the door open. As we look inside, it has a dusty dark atmosphere. I can see little dusty debris floating in the air as I turn on my flashlight.
