Medium - The Thief

The Thief

The Monster Hunter’s guild has received various reports of sheep, goats, horses, and other livestock being kidnapped within the Twisting Spire region of Astorea, specifically Aramoor Village.

The Village itself sits next to an old mining shaft that has been inoperative for years. Some citizens have reported that a creature of unknown origin leaves the mining shaft in the dead of night, comes to the village, makes off with their livestock and returns to the shaft before the sun rises.

All attempts to venture into the mines to combat this foe have failed. While there have been no causalities as of yet, many villagers have been wounded and ranchers are complaining that their yield for the coming winter won’t be enough to sustain a comfortable life for their families. No clear picture or description of the creature is available.

The League of Explorers has tasked the Monster Hunters Guild and those loosely affiliated to rid Aramoor Village of this creature once and for all. The League asks that this task is completed within the fortnight. Payment will be given upon completion of the contract.

Dungeon Master: Me! Lexii the Feral
Challenge Format: Wiki page

Difficulty: Medium
Party Size: 5-8 Players
Tags: Dice Mechanics! Cooperation! Hitting a monster in the face! Helping a village! Being Heroes!

Requirements

- Familiarity with the dice system and action sheet.
- Dedication to posting within the allotted time.
- A character willing to work alongside others to solve a problem.
- Willingness to communicate with me, your feral overlord.
- An interest in cooperative storytelling.​

Posting Rules:

- Minimum of 100 words, maximum of 400. If posting over these limits, I am within my rights to ignore your character's action for the cycle.

- Cycle will update roughly every 24 hours. I'll try and ping reminders in Discord!

- Failure to post will still cause your character to be damaged! If you miss two cycles, your character receives no loot for the event. If you miss three cycles, your character perishes during combat.​

Notes:

- There is a low to medium chance of death happening in this event. Though you are hunting a monster, stupid actions will net stupid consequences which normally means bad things for your character.

- You can always reach me via discord or PM and considering I have little to no life, unless I’m sleeping or working, I’ll promptly respond.

- You should always talk to your party via the Communication Thread and I highly suggest – even encourage! – doing this to formulate plans and pass along information!

- Should you be confused about anything at all, please ping or PM or DM me. I don't mind answering any and all questions you have!​

Sign-ups will happen in a separate thread.​
