Rules for the game:
I expect the players to post daily. Or at least, once every other day.
If a RPing opportunity arises, and two or more are on at the smae time, that's fine with me.
If it happens over the course of a few days, becasue the RPers are in different time zones, I'll let them go until I need the story to move along, or the moment is over.
If something happens in RL, and you can't post for more than three days, I'd appreciate some notification, by PM please. Otherwise, I may decide that the character found a trap and didn't live to tell the tale.
Game Information:
Adventure Background
Kingsholm lies at the base of a series of rolling foothills. No one knows how long the community has existed; Ian Turbrand, the owner of the Coronet and Cabbage Inn, insists that someone from his family has run the hostelry for more than three hundred years. Kingsholm appears much like every other town in the land, with one exception... it's graveyard.
Built on and in nearby hills, the graveyard has existed for centuries. Some townsfolk believe the graveyard predates the community, and nearly all the people living in Kingsholm evince a particular pride in that fact. Prominent individuals who die in Kingsholm have the honor of being interred in the graveyard's mausoleum, the centerpiece of the graveyard. Kingsholm's guards, known as sentinels, patrol the graveyard almost as frequently as they patrol the community's streets.
The most notable feature of the graveyard actually lies a little over a mile north of the town, high up in the hills. There stands the statue of an ancient king. No one in Kingsholm knows who he was or why the statue was erected there, but the townsfolk live in awe of the monument. Indeed, while the common folk have no fear of their maintained graveyard, few venture up to visit the forgotten king.
What the PCs know.
Two days ago, a family of mourners ventured up into the graveyard and didn't return. A pair of sentinels investigated, but these guards vanished as well. The townsfolk are in a panic. They've always heard rumors of disturbances in graveyards and tombs, but never has such misfortune struck in their town. They look to the PCs for aid.
The Beginning.
The five adventurers walk and/or ride into town. They are slightly weary from travel and seek the shelter of the inn for the night.
The next morning, while eating their complimentary meal, they begin to hear the townsfolk talking about the events in the graveyard. They hear the family name Yurling floating around.
As they continue to eat, they hear a sudden commotion in the back room. The innkeeper, a woman in the uniform of the town guard, and a prosperous-looking dwarf stride through the doorway and into the common room. Unswervingly, the innkeeper walks up to your table.
Are you mercenaries? the big amn asks. He glares at you with dark eyes as if challenging you to deny it. Are you adventurers? We need brave and capable folk, right now, and we're willing to pay.
He pauses for only a moment. Mia says we have trouble up in the old graveyard, he indicates the woman in uniform. She looks uncomfortable, and you sense fear from all the onlookers. We need your help, and we need it now!
