One quiet night in an uninteresting tavern in a not so interesting city, on a planet which was not really very interesting as a whole, a hooded frail old man enters, wearing a grey robe and walking using an old cane, walks up to the bar. The people of the tavern are not used to having newcomers so as he enters the whole room falls silent and everyone’s attention is on the frail old man. The barman and the old man stand there talking for a few minutes before a beer is poured and the old man walks over to a table in a distant corner of the room and sits down by himself. The noise level in the room slowly increases to what is the norm although everyone is uneasy having a newcomer in their quiet little tavern.

Some time passes and the old man is still sat in the corner with the beer all by himself, everyone else in the tavern has been making glances over in his general direction since he walked in. It is not often that the tavern gets any new visitors so he is somewhat of a spectacle.

More time passes in the uninteresting city and the night progresses just the same as any other night would normally except for in the tavern where the attention of the people is still on the newcomer. After a while the old man gets up as if he is going to leave. As he looks round the room he notices the unnerving glances he is receiving from the people. He walks to the middle of the room and stops without any warning, making a nearby couple jump with shock.

The people of the tavern go silent and stare at the spectacle that unfolds in front of them. The old man removes his hood and reveals his wrinkled old face for the first time in many years. His skin looks weathered with age and is pale. He has a beard white as snow and hair to match. His glasses sit uncomfortably atop his long crooked nose. But by far the most noticeable feature is a faded tattoo of a wolf’s head which is on his left cheek. The man lowers his arms to his side and begins to speak.

“This uninteresting tavern in this uninteresting city on this uninteresting planet is soon to be the place of one of the universes most interesting events!”

The barman reaches down beneath the counter in a very quick movement, grabbing his shotgun.

“We don’t want any trouble here, move on and take your philosophy with you old man, I don’t want to hurt you” shouts the barman with the shotgun aimed carefully at the old man’s head.

The man looks at the barman through tired old eyes and raises his hand in a very slow motion. As he does so the barrel of the shotgun creaks as it is bent upwards rendering the weapon useless. The barman stares in amazement at the spectacle that has just occurred in his very hands.

“Unfortunately the decision is not yours to make, I have been watching your world for many years now and the wheels of fate are already in motion. Unless your world can produce at least 20 people willing to take on a challenge that will decide the fate of their own lives, as well as those of every soul on this god forsaken rock, a plague will ravage your world and this world will die a slow and painful death.”

The people in the tavern stare on in horror as the old man raises up into the air in what they could only presume was some form of witchcraft.

“You have 15 days to gather the names of those brave enough, if you fail in this then I shall be forced to leave your sad pathetic world to its own demise. I shall return on the tenth hour of the 15^th day to claim the list and those whose names it bares, the time of the wolf has returned!”

With that said he raises his hands and all of the lanterns in the tavern shoot flames up and the old floating man disappears into a brilliant white light leaving the people in shock and awe of what happened and what they should do about this scenario.

[[I'll give it 1-2 more days then I'm going to start, hopefully we'll have 15 people otherwise I will need to relook at the roles.......but the game will commence in at most 2 days.......]]

The people of the town were cautious for the next week or so and no one really did much in fear of when Scientist may return. As the days grew long and the nights grew longer people knew that something was happening to their world, things that had never happened before and they feared for the worst. As the days passed names began to appear on the list that Scientist had left, slowly more and more names appeared but it didn’t look like the town would reach the amount set by the wizard.

One night, while all the regulars were sitting in the bar where Scientist had made his appearance the lanterns around the town were beginning to dim. A cold breeze flew through town, startling the people on the streets. The breeze gradually got stronger until it was beginning to get difficult to stand against it. The complete city was suddenly cast into darkness, all except the tavern where the flames of the lamps suddenly jumped up as if they were possessed. The room was suddenly awash with the yellow light from the lamps around the room. And just as quickly as it began it was all over and everything seemed to be normal once again, except for one new addition to the room who hadn’t been there before…….

Scientist stood against the back wall holding the list that had sat on the bar for the past week. He had a slight smile on his face as his eyes perused the names written down. No one said a word as they awaited his attention. Scientists eyes never left the paper as he addressed the tavern......

“It would seem that you didn’t quite make it to the amount that was required of you, for this I am unfortunately going to have to not be as kind as I was going to be………This challenge just got a whole lot harder…….I am pleased that there is still some people in the world who are willing to stand up for their world and be counted when it matters, for those of you who chose not to do anything, the only reassurance that you get is that your deaths will be slow and painful but not as horrific as those who fail the challenge………”

Scientist raised his hands above his hands quickly and a loud clap rang out across the lands. All those whose names were on the list suddenly vanished, leaving behind a small black orb where they were.

“Goodbyes were never my speciality, but this world is not worthy of a big farewell so I will just leave it as it is. Please…….don’t fight the pain, it will only make it worse…….”

As he lowered his hands the wind picked up and the flames once against jumped up and he was gone. This time though the wind didn’t stop, as it got stronger the black orbs that lay where the brave ones were started to move. Slowly at first, towards the town square where the town folk were gathering, heads bowed and on their knees praying to their god for mercy. The black orbs as they drew closer to the town square began to be picked up off the ground and into the air above the heads of the town folk. As they were circling round and round gathering speed at an alarming rate the people could do nothing but watch. As the people stopped dead and just watched the spectacle unfold before their eyes the black orbs began to come together into an ever growing mass of darkness. As the last orb joined with the mass it suddenly spread it out in all directions blocking out all light from the sun. The people never really had much of a chance from that point as fire began to rain from the sky, the world, burned to a crisp, a new sun born.

The brave folk woke up to find themselves teleported to a small village, much like the one they had just come from but with some very clear differences. The statue in the town square, which had shown an image of god and the creation of life, now showed an image of a beast with a huge muscular body, giant claws protruding from massive paw-like hands and a human head with a face of extreme pain. The statue sent shivers down a lot of peoples spines but nowhere nearly as much as the house that stood where the tavern once had. The mere sight of it caused some people to have to turn away. And now standing on the balcony overlooking the people stood Scientist, his brilliant white robe in complete contrast with the sheer blackness of the walls. As he spoke his voice seemed to reach for miles.

“Welcome to the inner sanctum, I have been waiting for near on a millennia for new people to take up my challenge. I am however unsettled due to the fact that there is so few of you, it greatly upsets me that I have spent all this time planning the challenge of your lives and so few of you turn up. Unfortunately my upset was overcome by anger before I left your world, if you look up you will now see it’s true glory burning true in the sky.”

Everyone looked up quickly to try and see what he was talking about, and there they saw it. The extra light in the sky, a newly born sun burning brighter than anything they had ever seen. The blackness creeping around its edge slowly disappearing.

“As you can see, failure to meet my requests will result in somewhat severe consequences, don’t worry, your families and friends are still alive, and will be for about the next 20 years, burning on the surface of the new sun unable to die. I thought that this would give you some motivation to complete the challenges that I have set up for you. For now, please pick a house and settle down for the night, the fun begins tomorrow.”

Everyone could sense a somewhat hidden meaning to his voice when he said the word ‘fun’. They began slowly looking around the village, looking for somewhere to rest for the night, they knew this would take all their strength.

IT IS NOW NIGHT – NO NIGHT TIME ACTIONS WILL TAKE PLACE THIS NIGHT!

[[I have noticed that some people have changed name and haven't made it clear in this thread that they have done so, please everyone message me back on the roles I sent out so that I know you all received them and then I will adjust the list of names accordingly......if you didn't get a role please message me, it will mean you are one of the ones who changed names without alerting me.....tut tut.......]]

Erunion was devastated. He had tried to warn them, tried to convince them, but what could he do? The decision had been theirs to make. With a glimmer of hope, he walked up to the strange man in white.
"Si...Sir? What happens if I complete my objectives? What happens to my friends if I survive the challenge? Will you release them, or at least end their suffering?"

For some reason, during this entire mess, Arvious had been asleep the entire time, and woke up the exact moment the wierd guy stopped talking.

"Hey, guys!  What'd I miss?"

*Mac walks around rubbing his chin and pondering the situation*

"Oh well nothing a mead can't sort out. If you need me I'll be saving the world from the tavern."

Ixil hadn't been too concerned about the world ending.  he'd been contemplating suicide anyway.  However, this chance to save everyone else had been a way to give his life some purpose.

Ois cared little for the world that now burned. He hated his parents for naming him Ois and he hated the law for forcing him to keep it. Having been passed over for jobs and rejected out of hand for sports teams Ois was just full of fury and hate.

  While the Scientist spoke all Ois could dream about was glory. "If I complete this challenge it will prove to everyone that I am all that i believe, I am great" he muttered under his breath before looking for a place to settle down for the night.

[[I just texted Septim...will look around for Aur and Dethos]]

Aur awakes and sees there nobody around him, he goes off to Ois bed and awakes him, ''hey why are you screaming you woke me up!''

[[ Ok, Charley I'm giving you til tomorrow morning when I wake up to find the missing people.........Aureola, please confirm that you still wish to play because you sent me a message saying you didn't have time to RP when I sent you your role........please reply to my message to confirm your stance on this or I will still kill off your character tomorrow morning.......Charley, you have around 10 hours......I'm giving you the extra time cause ideally I don't want to kill off people since we never got the amount of people I had hoped for.....]]

[[OOC: Sorry Scientist, I didn't get your message. Charley texted me, but as he said...I was busy. Ready to post now! =D]]

Septim, having no family of his own, shrugged at Scientist's threat and looked around. Seeing a bundle of old rags in an alley, he shrugged and walked over to them. Curling up for the night, he drifted off into sleep.

Wakes up again for the 2nd time and notices its still night, Aur hears noices of a wandering man near the hallway,''Hey yo dude go back to sleep its not trick time yet!'', Aur goes back to the bed but suddenly he realizes there where only 11 villages in the uninteresting city and all of them were sleeping or screwing, so Aur gets out of the room and search for the wandering man, Aur didnt find nothing, just some blood but Aur didnt pay much of attention, Aur looks at the sky wandering like and idiot ''Well trick time has began'' quickly Aur goes into everyones bedroom knocking the door pritty damn hard then he went to a dark hallway and suddenly fell down uncunsious.

After a restless and somewhat sleepless night for some people the darkness was beginning to lift. Although some people did not want it to lift because they knew that it meant the ‘new’ sun would be high in the sky, as if it wasn’t already on their minds.

People began to surface from the houses where they had slept that night, slowly but surely the town square began to fill up once again. Although they had no idea why, they all just knew that being in the town square was what was expected of them…….

They all looked around to see how everyone else was, but they soon realised that they were missed some people.

The doors high up on the balcony opened and through came Scientist, his robe seemed brighter than it was yesterday as if it was growing in energy from the sun. It seemed to be reflecting light all over the black walls of the building.

“Good morning all, well not all, some didn’t make it through the night. Unfortunately after seeing your world last night some people just didn’t have the courage to continue……..Dethos went down to the edge of the woods, found the welcome sign and hung himself from it, I believe in an attempt to try and warn people off from coming here.”

A vague smile appeared on Scientists face at the thought of him doing so.

“Which means that there is only now one Mason remaining……..It seems the good side is not off to a good start………maybe a vote will help sort things out. You have 24 hours to cast your vote on who you think shouldn’t be here……the loser will be ‘removed’ from the village.”

The smile grew somewhat on his face. And with that he began to walk back into the building, leaving the people of the village to contemplate who they should vote to ‘remove’, and what Scientists use of the word ‘remove’ had meant……..

You have roughly 24 hours to cast your vote on who you want to vote for.

VOTES WILL NOT COUNT UNLESS DONE IN THE FOLLOWING WAY.

At the end of your RP post here on the forum, you put the following:

     Charley shook his head.  Death had never really bothered him, but suicide always found some way to make him feel uneasy.  He wondered if Dethos really had hung himself willingly...or if he had no choice.  Scientist may have done something, or it could have been someone else.  Charley sat down and began thinking of who possibly could have been involved.

Arvious, being a lazy bastard, was again asleep while the whole thing about Dethos occured, and again woke up when the strange man left.

"Woohoo, 23 hours of sleep sure does a man well.  Say, where's the booze?"

"Pineapples!" yelled Septim as he woke up with his face covered in lipstick and make-up. He licked his lips and cursed.
"Something evil is afoot, and I will find out what!"

After popping his back (which had become sore from a night of sleeping on the hard ground), Septim stormed off towards the large gathering of people.
