It’s your own fault you’re here.
You can’t deny it at all, your greed took control of your mind. No...you let it take control. Perhaps you’re just a greedy person. Either way, look at the mess it’s gotten you in. You’re stuck here, there’s no hope for anyone on these long forsaken ruins. Do you remember that hint of greed? Sure you do, how can you forget the cause of your death.
It was a simple day in that city that you happened to travel though, you know the one. Of course you’re always looking to help someone...for a price. The community board is a wonderful place to look, and so you did. There you saw an offer nearly too good to be true. A captain and his crew were looking or people to help uncover a treasure long forgotten.
What’s this?
They were in desperate need of some hero to come aid them, and said hero would get almost half of the reward themselves! Your greedy little mind didn’t even think to process how strang that was, how some random person would be that deserving of over half the reward. So what did you do?
You kept reading.
The odd feeling couldn’t make it past the thought of that treasure. The poster was blunt, saying that the captain had a great dislike of magi and asked that they not even consider such a trip. Odd, but understandable, right? The poster went on saying about how the captain had an allergy to most animals, thus hunters were not to bring a pet. Undead were allowed...provided that they understand the sea of full of hungry sharks, and one slip up could see them in the bellies of such creature. Death knights, oddly enough, were prohibited as well. The captain apparently had a son who was changed into one, and the reminded was just too much to bare.
Oh my? What’s this?
Only -one spot open-.
Needless to say you hurried your way to the bay. The interview went swell and you were hired on as a guard. The treasure was just in your grasp, but then the groaning of others was heard below the deck, a place you weren't allowed. As you turned to ask, a sharp pain was across your head. The world turned black as you saw an odd looking dog with a reversed mouth.
Now you’re here, dropped off with other poor souls like yourself. Some cult tricked and grabbed you and now you must survive. The others are starting to look tasty too, it’s been so long since you had a decent meal. And you’re -so cold-. Bodies burn, you know? You could warm yourself. Your greedy mind tells you still, you’re better than them and you deserve to survive.
Guess what?
They think the same thing.
Good luck, you greedy creature.

What's this?
Now that everyone has calmed down from the restart, it's time to get some events going to perk up the RP again, devolp characters and build plots! I had this event in the back of my head for a while and now it's going to come to play.
This is a survival/horror event, based off many influences that I have experienced. Yes, it is a week long, possibly longer if the characters don't catch on to the puzzles left around the event zone. Don't worry, I'll be here to give nudges just in case it starts going downhill.
The event.
In this event, you will find yourself drawn to a ship for whatever reason. Others will be aboard the ship, down on the third floor in which your characters has been forbidden to go to. When you least suspect it, you will find yourself knocked out by a mace to the back of your head.
Congratulations, you've just been kidnapped by a group of old god cultists who wish to appease their god by throwing you on an island in the middle of the ocean! You have been stripped of your possessions, though they're nice enough to let you keep your armor and weapons. Everything else is gone, your regents, books, cards. There is seemingly no way out either, the water bites at your flesh from the moment you enter it and the sharks are quick to start to swarm. Food is limited and the fires that are there are starting to die out.
Your job, as a player, is to survive for the week in the cursed island. Sadly, it won't be as simple as waiting for a rescue. There are things on the island which wish to devour your body and soul.
In order to escape, you must solve a puzzle left by the former victims who, judging by the bones on the island, did not manage to make it themselves.
Personal Events
Each character in the event will have their own solo-mini event based off the information given to me. These trial events will unlock clues or even items that will help them survive. When this is done, they will fall unconscious and be taken away from the main group. It is safe to each player and has no chance of death, as it is something they must do on their own.
They will also be told to drop the main party so that the personal event will be just that, personal. These events will force you to face both your strengths and weaknesses and put the character to the test. That being said, the more information given to me, the better I can make your characters personal event be.
OOC Stuff
This event will be player guided. The actions of the players will turn the course of the event, rather than the event being strictly A to B. I will only step in if it means the death of the vast majority of the group and to nudge hints so that the group -can- escape.
These hints will come in the form of 'intelligence' or 'perception' rolls. Those who beat these rolls will be told, over whispers, of something out of the ordinary that they might notice. This way it all ties into the event.
There will also be strength and other such challenges upon the island, giving a demand for brute strength as well as intelligence. I hope to incorporate such challenges so that each character can have a moment of triumph, rather than just being the person who tagged along while others take charge.
Date and Time:
I plan to start the event on October 23ed, 3pm server time.
Rules
- 1 - All server rules must be followed, mainly respect.
- 2 - Infighting is allowed and encouraged, but must follow thee rules:
- 2a - Brawls are allowed so long as all players involved are okay with it and it gives no serious injuries beyond that of broken bones.
- 2b - Anything more than broken bones must have the consent of all parties, a public maiming CW to all involved with their consent, and the consent of the current active DM. The DM's need to know so they can keep the flow of the event going.
- 2c - Death is allowed with the consent of all players involved, the attacker knowing that it is an automatic CW on him once the deed is committed and the DM be informed ahead of time.
- 3 - You must acknowledge there is a chance of death in this event, though only if the character does something to warrant it, such as try to 1v1 the stronger of monsters or not heading to the safe-zone.
- 4 - I hold the right to ask a player to remove themselves from the event if they cause OOC complications.
- 5 - Listen to the DMs.
- 6 - By entering the event it means you are agreeing to the rules above.
As an side-note: If you feel a DM is being abusive you are encouraged to seek me (with a screenshot) and if in turn you feel that I am being abusive, you're equally encouraged to seek a GM - again, with a screenshot.
Fair is fair all the way around.
Entry Form:
If you agree to the rules and wish to enter the event, please PM me with the form below. I will be taking a leaf from Loxi's book and writing up a little personalized thing for each person who chooses to attend. Extra love to those who include a photo of a kitten.
I strongly encourage you do not add in characters you are attached to, due to the possibility of death. I encourage characters stale on RP, new characters that you need to kick-start, or characters you wish to turn around somehow and use this event as a catalyst!
The form
Spoiler:
Restricted/Banned Classes/Races
Banned
Mage: The obvious reason is their ability to teleport, conjure food and create fire. They are a 'get out of jail free card' which is never any fun in an event.
Hunter/Warlock Pets: Pets are banned because it's an easy way for the master to collect food without putting themselves in danger, which is no fun, and it's an extra creature when it comes to fights.
Death Knight: Death knights are able to walk across water, which makes them able to avoid any blocked areas. They also can simply make a death gate and walk out, which takes away from the experience.
Restricted
Forsaken: These are allowed, but you must understand that you cannot simply walk in the water and leave the island. There are sharks about that will eat them, dead or not. I highly encourage people not to roll a forsaken for this, but if it is insisted upon, then they will be allowed under heavy moderation. I don't want the event to be an easy-ride for anyone.
Druids: Druids simply need to understand that they cannot shift into aquatic form and swim off. If the sharks don't kill them, the extreme cold of the water will.
Warlocks: The captain said no magi, but nothing about warlocks. It's safe to assume the same ban is upon them. If a warlock attempts to pass as a mage, they won't be allowed. If they attempt to pass off as a rogue perhaps with a dagger, then they would be allowed so long as they don't use any magic while near the crew. That is, until they are knocked out.
Misc
Every person, upon being knocked out, will be searched for things such as glyphs or runes. If marks are found they and could aid in an escape, such as levitation on a priest, they will be dropped off on a shore rather than taken. Glyphs that aid in strength are not cared about, as the cultists believe that the Old Gods are pleased then their prey puts up a fight. Please mention if you use the Glyphs ICly so they can be taken into account for your character!
Slots:
Because I don't have that much experiance with running events, I am going to put a limit on how many people may enter. This may change as I become more sure of myself. It will be a first-come first serve type deal. Please only apply if you plan on being active during the event. That being said, there are 25 26 open slots for players. This is -not- counting anyone who will be DMing the event.
Below is a list of those who are in the event and on what character.
Players
Spoiler:
DM's may also take part in the event, but will not count in the total allowed due to needing them to focus on DMing at key points. This way it will not take away from RP. Those DMing will be asked by me if they wish to.
