View Full Version : Seal's RP: Humanity
before I start:
Well, this is going to be an independent RP, as in no way associated with my earlier two RPs.
I'm in no position to invite anyone, so this will be an open RP.
STATUS OF RP: Started. Resurrected in a month, if not earlier
body
First, the basic rules and other things.
All players are human. There is other races in this RP, but they're NPCs, controlled by me.
There is magic users in the other races, thus not playable, but some magical items can be found or claimed, but there is not many of those items. You may not start with magical items.
There isn't many restrictions on the manner players communicate, but stay reasonable. Killing is an option, but killing someone else causes others (at least some NPCs) to act more negatively towards the killer. The player who got killed gets a new character, or his/her character is brought back somehow.
I think those were the special rules in this RP, this may change later, if something important was forgotten.
story
The story should go forward in turns, every player should post once a turn. OOC post amount isn't limited, there may be several OOC posts from the same player during the same turn, but keep the chat down, there's member's lounge (http://www.warboards.org/forumdisplay.php?f=2) for that. If a player doesn't show up in time, he/she is skipped.
The turns would take about 24 hours, more or less, depending of the opinion and amount of players. The point of turns is to prevent having two players posting story with each other, thus forcing others to read alot before getting hang of the story. They also help in having 'fairer' fights... be it pvp or pve
The continent now is North America. Climate is slightly warmer and wet than it is now.
Now to the background story.
background
The time now isn't exactly known, but some think that it's year 2093 now.
The elves and goblins, ancient races, had fought for millenia underground, in the large caves of Earth. Eventually their fighting caused the caves to slowly collapse, and they were forced to move to the surface.
Elves are the masters of magic. Goblins are the masters of technology. They are equal in power, and that's why they've been fighting for almost eternity.
There, they found humans, and vice versa. Both of them found humans to be adaptable enough, and the elves dominated and enchanced humans with magic, and the goblins inserted enchancer implants and controller implants, and eventually most of the humanity served mindlessly the goblins and elves.. and died for them. The renegade humans were not united, and sometimes even fought against each other.
Lenghtened war caused eventually the human population to almost collapse, but the ancient races found out, that humans were easy to reproduce artifically, by tech or by magic. After they founded the breeding plants, the fighting was even fiercer, and it is still as fierce as it was.
Human cities are almost empty, the ancient races 'recruited' the humans from the cities first. There is, though, some renegades resided in the cities, and they're as safe as other areas.
Human warriors of either sides patrol their areas, and march towards the major fighting sites. Normal renegade human is no match for a warrior, this far.
The ways of fighting and living of the ancient races are clean, and nature is slowly conquering once-civilized areas.
EDITED:
There is small amount of goblins and elves in the battlefields, as their human warriors fight for them.
The goblins clone humans by technology, and can produce more humans than elves can. That has a drawback, goblin humans are slightly weaker and have some mutations in them, thus their health is unstable. Goblins clone males mostly.
Goblins have added 'control-chips' to the warriors, and control them mainly remotely, from the master control machine.
Goblin field officers can take control of nearby goblin-humans manually, overriding the master control.
The elves approach differently, they've founded "human factories", where human women are giving birth, accelerated by magic. The babies have exactly the same genes than her mother, thus are female. That way is more mutation-free, and they are generally more healthly than goblin humans.
The elves control their pawns by special 'Mindstones', which are usually in a chain, around the neck. The mindstones are spiritually connected to the 'Masterstone', which is maintained by the elven Queen, who is also called Mindqueen. If a mindstone is removed from a elven-raised human, she must start to learn everything, but the elves have safeguarded that and made them not able to learn anything the natural way, only by the mindstone.
END EDIT
START EDIT II
There has been increased amount of supernatural happenings, apart from the Elven magic, spawning monstrous creatures of many kinds. These creatures are rare, and happen to attack every other side involved in the great war, mainly the pawns of Elves and Goblins.
Nothing is known about these monsters, their intentions and possible masters. Maybe they are just freaks of the dimensional plane.
the story
A renegade group, called 'Genesis', has been searching for other renegades, and they're having an assembly in a farmhouse.
(You will begin there. Ancients = Elves and Goblins)
The leader speaks:
"We are the hope of Humanity. We are destined to destroy the Ancients, and rebuild the world."
"Our group is small, but we are going to grow. The Ancients are too focused on destroying the other, that they almost ignore us. That is our chance."
"There has been rumors of a secret weapon, able to devastate the Ancients. We are not aware of the manner the weapon works, though.
We should still seek for this weapon, whatever it is."

My posts concerning this RP. May be helpful to read, as these clear up some things.
<?
This is a mixed RP.
Goblins' tech is very advanced, yet they don't have mass destruction or desolating weapons. They do have ion cannons and plasma technology at their disposal, along with some other technologies.
Elves' warriors fight with the aid of magic, and their tech is limited to basic armors and weapons, mainly medieval-like.

Name: Arcanan Za'Shur
Gender: Male
Occupation: Part-Time Mercenary
Specials:
Soldier, Arms training
Endurance
Bio and Appereance: As a child, Arcanan never knew his parents as they had been taken by the elves and goblins. As a result, Arcanan had to raise himself in the shadows, hunting down goblins and elves one by one, teaching himself Arms training and Endurance. However, this wasn't enough. Arcanan soon joined a small band of humans to try to stop the Goblins and Elves once and for all. Arcanan has a pretty average body. Short Brown hair that is somewhat spiked, what is considered a normal face by most, some think he's ugly, others don't. He wears a large black trench coat filled with pistols, revolvers, a rail gun, a shot gun, and a couple of small machine guns along with proper ammo. Under his trenchcoat he wears baggy black jeans, worn sneakers, and a black t-shirt.

Is this rp swords and spears and that kind of stuff or is it guns and knives because the races and the year confuse me.

Also, how advanced is Goblin technoligy? Like, Super advanced like Stargate/Star Trek/Starcraft/Star Wars, or like the most advanced technoligy for them is gun powder, steam engines, boom sticks (muskets and primative shot guns), and cannons?
EDIT: Just remembered how the Goblins found they could easily clone humans with technoligy, so I guess it's more like:
Is the most advanced technoligy slightly more advanced than human tech now or do they have like teleportation, plasma sheilds, anti-matter missles, ion cannons, laser tanks, energy weapons, etc.

Name: John "The Killer" Jackson
Gender: Male
Occupation: Hunter (Hunts down elves & goblins for money)
Specials:
Soldier:
Arms training. Adept in using firearms.
Adaptable. Can adapt many kinds of devices and use them without large problems.
Bio and Appereance: Orphaned as a child by the goblins, he swore to kill all goblins. When his friends were killed by the elves, he swore vengence on the elves. He now has no friends, & will try not to stay with someone too long, afraid that he, himself, is bad luck to all those around him. He hires himself out as a goblin/elf hunter, anything for an excuse to slaughter his hated enemies. He is about 6'4", 130 pounds, & is usually carrying two assault rifles so he can tear through line after line of enemies, but also carries 2 bowie knives for close quarter fighting; normally, when he runs out of ammo in the field, he finds other weapons lying on the ground that used to belong to the goblins lying dead next to those weapons. He is viewed as reckless, even careless, by those that watch him fight, as he charges into rank after rank of goblins & elves. Some say he is trying to get himself killed; others say he feels no pain, compared to the pain he has already felt; still others say that he is possessed by hatred of the elves and goblins, & sorrow for the loss of his family. Whatever the reason, one can always find John at the head of battle, spurring those who accompany him to victory almost every time.

Added more info on the goblins' and elves' way of using humans.
There is small amount of goblins and elves in the battlefields, as their human warriors fight for them.
The goblins clone humans by technology, and can produce more humans than elves can. That has a drawback, goblin humans are slightly weaker and have some mutations in them, thus their health is unstable. Goblins clone males mostly.
Goblins have added 'control-chips' to the warriors, and control them mainly remotely, from the main control machine.

May be useful, but not so necessary right now. I'll try to not modify the main post after this launches.

Name: Claire Hawkins
Gender: Female
Occupation: Mechanic/Craftsmen
Specials: Skillful: Repairing Free Sub-special: Adaptable
Bio and Appearance: Claire is a dazzling young woman. She is short, standing only 5' 1", and is slender, but her amazing curves have many a man playing close attention. She has black hair, and striking purple eyes. She is often clothed in a mechanic's black jumpsuit, with her hair tied back into a pony tail.
Claire had lived in a small town her entire life. Her father was the twon mechanic, and jack-of-all-trades basically, so she grew up around every thing mechanical you can imagine. She hopped into that business, and now, at the age of 19, can fix or adapt pretty much anything for any purpose. When the Elves and GOblins began to take over, she managed to get some Goblin implants and technology. Since then, she has been studying them, and is quite well versed in Goblin technology. She is working on counteracting their technology, and improving on it for the use to fight back.
Ender
06-18-2004, 10:53 PM
Claire listened intently. A natural survivor, she had made her way to this point by repairing everything she had come across, either trading it for transport, or, in most cases, repairing a vehicle and then using it until it ran out of fuel. She had entered the town and had heard of this meeting in the farmhouse. She shrugged, slightly interested. She went it, and the place was PACKED. Like, packed to the brimming so she couldn't even get it. Her small stature, however, allowed her to worm her way to the front of the throng. A man was on a podium, speaking.
"We are the hope of Humanity. We are destined to destroy the Ancients, and rebuild the world."
"Our group is small, but we are going to grow. The Ancients are too focused on destroying the other, that they almost ignore us. That is our chance."
"There has been rumors of a secret weapon, able to devastate the Ancients. We are not aware of the manner the weapon works, though.
We should still seek for this weapon, whatever it is."
Claire smiled. This was what she had been waiting for. A resistance unit to back her attempts at undermining Goblin technology, and the fact was, this "weapon: intrigued her. If she could have the option to work with the weapon, she was SURE she could make it work, or even improve upon it. And if she did that, after the Goblins and Elves were defeated, she would be hero-worshipped. She would want for nothing, and she could finally rest and mourn her family. She smiled the smile of a predator who had found her prey.
She had found her way to survive, once and for all.

Name: Jeff Horshwitz
Gender: male
Occupation: Battle-field medic
Special: skillful: patching up soldiers and preparing them to be moved to army hospitals. Free Sub-Special:able to sneek around a battle field unoticed.
Bio & appearance: Jeff is 6'5 and wieghs 230 pounds. Jeff grew up in a small town in Iowa. at the age of 18 Jeff went to medical school where he passed with above average skill. He has always been capible of going unoticed despite his hight and this has served him well when trying to navigate battlefields looking for wounded. He is a very peaceful man which is why he became a medic.
"ARRRRRGH!" "Look," said Jeff as he applied a turnquin to a soldier's bleeding leg stump, "I know it hurts but its either this or dying of blood loss. Just because the chief said the anchients were too busy fighting each other to notice us doesn't mean you can chuck grenades at Goblin plasma tanks and expect them to not fire back. Okay, this should hold you until you get back to HQ."
Jeff shook his head sadly as the soldier was lifted into the back of a jeep and driven away. He really hoped that they would finish the weapon soon and end this bloody war.

"well i guess i better get back to HQ." thought Jeff as he watched the last of the jeeps drive off full of wounded. He had only been walking for ten minutes when he heard a faint clanking sound. Jeff dived behind some boxes and saw a woman, fully clad in armor and wielding a massive broadsword. Jeff tensed up as she stoped and looked his way, her empty and souless eyes stareing right at him.

The woman slowly advanced on Jeff, lifting her sword. Jeff closed his eyes waiting for the end. All of a sudden the woman sighed as if tired with it all and sank to the ground. there was obviously a sniper in the area, but was it goblin or human? jeff decided not to stick around and find out.

Jeff stumbled into the room covered in cuts and bruises from various close calls, including nearly getting his arm blown of by a stray tank blast. As always no one noticed him. Claire and Amber were busy talking to some guy in a corner and the chief had apparently just finished giving another speach. A lanceing pain shot through Jeff's limp arm. He left the room and headed for the main office to report the increase of Ancient activity in the nearby area.
<? ooc: officially back. now, i'd like to know where you are right now, outside or inside. pm coming.
anyways, the story will continue. ?>
This time, a female officer of the resistance, called Janet stands up in the main hall, which is pretty full.
<? ooc: should I be playing her, here comes the character sheet...
Name: Janet
Gender: female.
Occupation: Resistance officer
Specials: Knowledge of Elves.
Able to resist persuading.
Endurance
Craftsman. Can make things out of wood and other materials. i.e rafts.
Bio and Appereance:
Janet isn't very sturdy, but she has strong willpower and is creative, and that has helped her alot.
One thing, though, has made her special.
When the elves came to claim the humans of her hometown, she was also taken to the nearby woods to the ritual grounds, where three elven priestesses danced and, through the power of the dance, made the humans willing to fight for the elves, and otherwise do what their elven masters say.
She resisted the psychic power of the dance, but knew that the guards would fry her if she attempted to escape now, so Janet played along.
Later, she was given an elven-made clothing and armor, and was told to wear them. The clothes aren't so confortable, as the elves pride beauty over functionality.
**
Later, she was assigned to a patrol group, and escaped when they went through a tight forest. The uniform restricts movement almost by zero, and Janet was able to find a safe place in the forest.
She was tired, and rested there overnight. At morning, she found out, that the corset wasn't removable without tools, at least alone. Janet decided that she would wear the elven clothes willingly, as they're actually quality no human can make.
Then, she found a survivor band, who didn't luckily think that Janet is an mindless elven pawn. Later, that band founded the resistance, along with Janet. Nowadays, Janet keeps the elven clothes under her 'normal' clothes, always. That is only possible because of the 'features' of the undercloth, as it doesn't get dirty, and doesn't stay wet for too long.
?>
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Most of the people 'invited' should be here by now, so we'll start the initial briefing now."
"The Ancients are currently fighting at each other, and we can be pretty safe here, as they don't think that we're a threat.. and that is our strenght, if we can develop or find an extremely powerful weapon against Ancients.
We have heard of such a weapon hidden near the 'Newborn Mountains*', and we are going to gather a small force to find and use that weapon.
The task will not be easy. Enemy patrols will eventually find the force, and attempt to destroy the team. The team should be able to fight off those patrols, or avoid them efficiently."
"Questions will be answered, now. Ask whatever you want."
<?
* Newborn Mountains have appeared only after the Ancient manifest, and thus aren't so familiar along the humans.
** notes about the elven clothes: the elves' clothing depends on the elf's caste. Lowest caste elf uses a crude dress, which is crafted to be long-lasting, as they get only one for a lifetime.
Middle-class, the warrior class (be it elven or elf-human, all use the same 'uniform') use a white corset-skirt combination under the armor, and the armor is covering the shoulders, breast-area, lower part of legs, and hands. The armor is made from the legendary metal, called mithril.
The metal is expensive, and thus is covering the most critical parts of the body (to the elves). Corset is reinforced for a bit, providing some cover, too.
The highest caste, the archmages and priestesses can use any clothes, whatever they want.
(OOC: Alright RPGuy! And since you've jammed for vacay, Ender and I will control your character :D)
Amber loops her arm around Claire's and pulls her over the the guy sitting in the corner.
"Comon chick--Maybe he knows something--Everyone's staring at him for some reason....."
Claire walked with Amber, but looked at her and frowned.
"You really enjoy talking to random people, don't you?"
Amber laughed, but Claire wasn't amused.
"Hey, if he starts hitting on either of us," She said menacingly, and pull a wrench out of one of the many pockets of her jumpsuit, "I'm going to club the bastard with this right over the head, I swear!"

Amber laughs.
"And you wonder why you don't got a man girl...." jokes Amber.
Amber's face turns serious for a second.
"Okay--Let me do the talking--You always scare strangers away, especially when we need the help." She says.
Claire looks at Amber as if what she says is not true.
"No I don't! Well--At least I don't flirt with every single guy that crosses our path!" Retorts Claire.
Amber looks over at Claire and grins.
"So. Well, only the hott ones." :D (OOC: lolz)
After both young women exchange giggles, they approach the man and nod a greeting. Amber smiles at him and says, "Hi--My name is Amber and this is Claire--"
Claire discreetly shoves her elbow into Amber's side.
"Why'd you give him my name stupid??" She whispers.
Amber ignores her and keeps talking, trying very hard to hold back her laughter.
"Ahem--Umm, look sir, we wanna know what exactly is going on and where everyone is going. Do you by chance know anything?"

7-ACTUALLY READ ALL OF AN RPG. Don't just come in and say, "Woo! I'm playing too!" and then make a post that makes it look like you didn't read the last several posts or a post somewhere back.
this is exactly what EnderWiggin was talking about. you didn't even bother to read any of the posts did you. because it says in the first post that they think the year is 2093 not 3000 something. please read the rules to RPing and all of the previous posts before you try to enter this one. otherwise your just wasting our time.
<? ooc: ready? well, ill continue anyway. ?>
Janet stood up and shouted:

Amber stared at the man as he just sat there looking straight down at the floor. She glances at Claire who shakes her head at Amber. They need to leave, this guy is a nutcase....
"Uhh.....Nice meeting you sir....We'll be taking our leave now." Both Amber and Claire turn to leave when the man reaches out quick;y and grabs Claire by the arm.
"No don't go--" He begins but is cut off when Claire slams her wrench straight down onto his head. He falls down to the floor unconscious.
Amber's eyes go wide and she starts laughing hard. Everyone near them stop what they are doing but immeadiately continue.
"HAHAHAHAHA! !Omg! Dude! I didn't think you'd do that!! hahahahahahaa!!"
Claire shrugs. "I told you I'd club him if he made the wrong move. No man can grab me like that without my permission."
Amber nods.
"Okay girlie.....Whatever ya say. Look, let's just get a bite to eat and maybe we'll run into someone or something." She says.
Both Amber and Claire leave the man and walk around. As they do they see a group of ppl surrounding one person. It is a woman.
They both walk over and listen. It's a quest! Finally! Something is goin' down! Amber goes over to the paper.
"Sign me up! I wanna kick some butt!" She says excited.
Claire sign's the paper too.

The following day, both women meet the group.
"Well, the team seems to be assembled. We'll be leaving this camp immedetialy, we can introduce ourselves to each other if you haven't already." Says the woman.
"Our team is to be called 'Hope'." She says again.
Amber and Claire exchange glances.
"Hope huh? Awesome..." :) Says Amber.
(OOC: Alrighty Seal! We are here! Sorry if my post was rushed, but I gotta go to work :()
Claire and Amber were walking side by side with the group, when Claire suddenly sped up.
"Yo! Where you going chick?!" Amber called, racing to catch up. Claire walked up alongside the woman who was leading.
"Hello. My name is Claire, and the girl running to catch up with me is Amber," Claire said, pointing at Amber. "She is a warrior, and I'm a mechanic. I specialize in Goblin tech. I can pretty much fix, repair, or build anything you can find or think of, and Amber...well, Amber just kicks ass. We're here when you need us!"

"So, you're Amber and you're Claire? Glad to meet you, I'm known as Janet."
We keep walking in the path.
"We should keep moving, but not with haste. It's a long way coming. By the way, this area is reported to be under elven control, they have plenty of patrols around. We don't want to meet them, do we?"

Don't worry, I've read the storylines/previous gameplay, so holster your weapons. So save your breath. Withouth further ado, here I come...
Out of the forest, Earl "Lumber" Jack comes forth, much to the travellers suprise, who shocked grabbed their weapons. "I come in peace! No need to draw steel."
Lumber says, friendly but in his presence-threathening size makes them shiver.
"No need to worry, but just right ahead of here is an elven outpost by the road. You should take by the rivers, sneak around in to the forest hills, and come down further down the roads. Goodbye."
Suprised but thankful for the strangers' help, Lumber goes away before they even got to thank him.
They continue their journey withouth him.

"Who was that dude?" She asks. "I don't know, there are crazed humans running around the woods, maybe he's one of them?"
"We should continue slowly, out from the paths. these paths have elven warriors patrolling."

As the duo of travellers walk outside the paths to make an alternative route around, 'Lumber' stands around, waiting, snickering for himself.
"Haheh! Naive little fools, they go from ashes to fire.."
As Amber and Claire passes over the riverside, elven pawns jump forth! They were hiding by the forestside, waiting to ambush them!
"This, is them," says 'Lumber' confidently, "They, are the trespassers I spoke of - Now, you're allowed to arrest them for trespassing and I'll have my reward for luring them into the trap, right?"
"Right." said the elven pawn, "Let's take them into custody!"
The elven pawns drew steel, 'Lumber' tauntes them, and leaves with his reward of gold - The elven captors quickly prompt Amber and Claire; "Surrender to our combined might at another instant, or suffer the consequences!"
Amber and Claire now faces an challenge worthy indeed. Should they bow for the unjustice law presents, and be taken into prison, or should they be defending themselves, thus being branded outlaws for trespassing, or attempting to flee, but to a chanche of alerting their presence to the other elven pawns? ;)
<?ooc:
ole, try to not manipulate the story to your own likings that much.
(note: elf-claimed humans referred as '(elf)pawns' at least in this post...)
first, there is very few elves outside their newfound capital, and these elves can dominate humans singlehandedly. They trust their human pawns to protect their areas, because they have claimed their will since birth. Only the first bulk of pawns rarely escape their elven masters, and Janet is one of them.
The elfpawn patrols consist of three pawns, outposts have usually twice the amount. Even one elfpawn can overpower normal humans with its magic and finesse of weapons. They are, though, pretty vulnerable when surprised.
Thus, Ole should remake his last post, or I'll ban you from this rp...

There you go. Post altered. Happy now?
I'm not sure exactly HOW you wanted it, you didn't specify, but I took it for granted I perhaps wrote something knowledgeless, so nevertheless, I corrected that and my post, for grammar and etc, and more according to what the story is. I never manipulated anything, I just believed that was so. If I had manipulated, I whould've changed something, but I just wrote what I believed was right, not changing it. In other words; I didn't change elven pawns to elven patrolsmen intentionally, f.eg, I just accidently called them patrolsmen. To continue a story by writing what happens next and what I do and the pawns do, is not to manipulate the story, like changing major story elements from the past, so z'hats no ban reason, z'hou don't think, right?
<? Like, you should not use elfpawns nor goblin-pawns against others (nor you should make others do anything major), because that's my job. not yours. I'm arguing with you no longer. ?>
Ole-The-Murder
08-04-2004, 3:11 PM
I didn't make them do it, they wanted so freely ;) Maybe it's your job, but...hey, you're right, no argue..I don't see the point bickering over this, take it as it comes since if my character helps the elf pawns to ambush the trespassers (amber and claire) - It's pretty logic I can, by normal logic - You might rule over the RP, but I rule what I do for and against you, and if I side with you. The pawns whould've seen you anyways - and it's not like I went in and mind-controlled them against you, I just turned you in to local authorities, nothing major. I -might- undo it if you are really going to make a big case of it, but for the sake of the RP, it's a problem you should handle in RP-ways - fight, flee, or surrender :D

So you mean I should quit this RP, eh? It's not like I MENT to destroy fun, actually, I came to..well, sorta spread joy..fun...flowers...peace.....you're with me on this one, aight? I created fun..uh...for myself. Yup, that's it. And for others, for all I care. I didn't knew it was such a sensitive topic to tell them the way around the patrols, then turn them into the elf pawns (thus luring them into a trap), and saying they have been ambushed, and has the choiche how to tackle it. But I see I don't decide such things to happen...but I -can- decide to do actions in-game to make it happen, not just create elf-pawns out of nowhere attacking them, but deciding in game to turn them in to the pawns.
Alas, if it's my departure you wish, then you shalt get it.

Okay, I'm sorry for that, it wasn't the meaning to, but I wasn't messing it up; I just wrote that I turned them into the local elf authorities and Hylje made a big case of arguments out of it, so I'm quitting; If Seal had been more tolerant allowing others to lead storylines and give them challenges this whouldn't have happened - I didn't mess anything up, so if it hadn't been an argument that happened, there whouldn't be a mess. You won't see my character again, huh.
I'm quitting the RP, but here's what happens now;
Amber and Claire are held by the elven pawns and has a choiche to surrender to them for trespassing, and go into custody, fight, or flee. You can choose whether or not to help them or even take the elves side. Whatever tickles your fancy...

anyways, this shall continue from before ole popped in. thus, I, Amber and Claire are traveling in the woods, and evading the elfpawn patrols.
edit: well, some story bundled
?>
As we traveled slowly through the woods, animals and plants were everywhere. There was just hollow path, sometimes not even it.
"This isn't easy.. but easier than fighting the elfpawns."
An old highway was still struggling against the forest, and was likely to be a patrol route.
ooc: Ole, you weren't leading the storyline; you were in violation of it. There is a rather large and important difference. Bye bye now.

The Dark Hand regains conciousness the next day. He sits up rubbing his head trying to remeber what happened. He remembers reaching out to the girl called Claire and then being clubbed on the head. "I only wanted their help. Every always judges me before they know me!" He thought "But I dont care. All I care about is finding them!" The Dark Hands gets up and walks out the barn. He ses footprints on the ground and begins to follow them. "Maybe this group will lead me to them!"
OOC: So have I mised anything important out?

The highway is empty for now. There is quiet, almost too quiet.
"It's empty. Let's run over this now!"
I shouted. We quickly run over the broad highway, and hide in the safety of the forest. Only some time later a patrol comes, but doesn't notice us, luckily.
