RP Digest #8

This article is over 15 years old and may contain outdated information

Having trouble keeping track of the action in your favorite RPs? No problem! Our weekly RP Digest will keep you in the loop.

The Castle

Host: Shapsters

This adventure has just begun, and for that reason not much has happened, but surely many adventures will take place. Our heroes started off on their own paths, some were knights looking for work, and others were modest men looking to help others. A cold wind blew through the city as Arthur Winsler put up posters; his father was deathly ill and wanted to see an old family heirloom before he passed. This is what would bring our heroes together for the first time and will probably keep them together for many trials and tribulations to come.

Avatar Adventures

Host: Ramthundar

In a quiet meadow, a happy Ram lays in his field, wondering if he’ll ever have the life… of an adventurer…

Then he got attacked by a dragon, was saved by a Japanese 300 year-old teenage dragon slayer, met a tights-wearing Superhero Pornstar, met Death’s kid and his cousin, was joined by Dark Link and Frohman, was sent back in time by a bored Locust general, fought some Nazis in colonial time with George Washington, then was sent back by a pissed off Star Dragon, and just finished fighting some religious nuts in brightly colored spandex and a Voltron (which they burned).

…The happy Ram wonders what else can happen in a day of an Avatar Adventurer.

***

Dear Thor,

H’well, we defeated that Grong..Grog….Gorgan…Big Green Guy from WoW guy. Didn’t get to the mysterious cloaked guy we were chasing cause a new Evil boss killed the other Evil boss that was in our party. *sad face*
But luckily he didn’t die! He just possessed the body of Nightmare, a soul-sucking demon of hell! *Yay Face!*
Also, we have a Death with us. ‘Cept he’s a small boy. *WTF face*

Anyway, we’re now fighting some robots from a Dr.Wiley in a volcano to get to that Sovorgoth, Sevorgeth, Seveorg….that one sword o’ power.

Across the Four Great Islands

Host: TikiShades

As the fierce battle between Dalji and Debatra finally comes to a close, a less-than clever tactic used by Dalji sends the Knight’s Court Inn to pieces. Now that the blockade is down, Tronfros feels free to end the fight, and so does a vengeful Raz’nak.

Dalji quickly throws a bomb into a wall crack, and triggers the explosion when Raz’nak steps over it. The detonation caused the foundation to flood into the basement, allowing Dalji to make use of his Caultic descent to fashion himself an escape tunnel. At the Bounty Office, Dalji learns more about the members of the Black Dusk…

A Shadow in the Void

Host: LockHeart

+ + BEGIN LOG + +

Captain James Roberts, ITC Marines

Time: 1638 hours

Arrived on the newly-colonized planet, Archon, approximately six hours ago. A small, outlying settlement has sent a transmission to the planetary governor asking for a squad of local militia to be dispatched in order to help quell an uprising of the settlement’s indentured servants.

I have been sent in as an “observer” to supervise the squad and complete my own investigation into the incident. As I record this, we have just arrived in Aberdale. From what we’ve uncovered, there are no people to be found. We are currently making our way to the settlement Overseer’s building to uncover more information.

Marshmallow Adventure!

Host: sky14kemea

This RP is all about a bunch of crazy but brave marshmallows who are forced out of their home by an evil giant, and must escape all kinds of danger to find a new place to live. Things that seem almost boring in a human’s life is deadly for these poor little guys, so they must use their special marshmallow powers to help them survive.
After being attacked by sea monsters, and almost kidnapped by a giant, they seek shelter in a forest-like place as they think of a new plan, but can they find a new home?

Mythos

Host: Sporky111

The group successfully rescued Allen from the UN prison and managed to do irreparable damage to it, but not without many injuries. Beaten and scarred, Anthony led them along a paper-trail to Paris. Under a trio of skyscrapers, a major UN headquarters, is the largest collection of anti-Mythos weaponry on the planet.

They set out to remove this threat, but in order to do so a tower would need to be felled. Wes objected to the thousands of lives that would be lost, but it was to be a show of the power of Mythos. For the group, and all their kind, it would be a statement that Mythos will not go down without a fight.

Pokemon RP

Host: Mookie_Magnus

Once again, we find our group of Trainers at odds with Team Rocket. After failing to find Aari’s killer, Magnus was overcome with rage, heartbreak, and loss. Eon, the infant “shiny” Vaporeon, made him realize that he still had a duty to his friends, so he must stay strong for them. With Dani and Alan joined as the newest members of their group, and Jeffrey recovering in the hospital, the Trainers must adjust until things return to semi-normality. The group turns their eyes towards Cinnabar Island, and eventually the small island where Rodney’s family is waiting for them.

The Chessmasters

Hosts: Portal Maniac, Samuel_of_Saruan

The Assassins’ numbers have dwindled, so they have “confronted” several people to join. After giving them cybernetic implants to help them in their job, their leader Vincent explains that they’ve been hired to kill four people in three different groups. Francois and Evelyn are target A; Hanna, Rudi, and Dosney are target B; Vincent, Michael, and Karlheinz are target C.

Bioshock II: Welcome to Rapture

Host: Lost in the Void

New York is gone, wiped from the Earth, and the survivors have returned to Rapture to battle the deranged man that is Joshua. He is mutating CAIN in new ways, sending mutated splicers and new monstrosities for the group to battle. Blood flows, as many have nearly given their lives to defeat Joshua, but is he so easy to defeat? This is the question that plagues Richardson, Malice, Scott, and the rest of the group, can you destroy him, and the twisted vision he has for the world. Can they hold themselves together in the madness that is Rapture? We’ll see….

Surge

Host: ThreeWords

Para-Ops Record: Alpha-32

Location: Unknown
Situation: High Risk
Supers present: Approx 7.

The supers have all begun to use their powers, whether by choice or accident is uncertain, yet the city continues to run its regular course. Chances are the supers have yet to do anything drastic. But it’s only a matter of time.

We are certain of a few things, however. Several supers from the crisis two years ago have resurfaced in this city. So far confirmed are Catherine Horan, Threewords and Mister Terrible. Among them are a multitude of new supers. However devastating the last spontaneous granting of superpowers was, this one is on track to be a lot worse.

The Unknown

Host: Zemalac

Since the last Digest, the mysterious five in black were hacked to pieces, though the pieces are still moving. While they were being destroyed, twenty black-masked and black-tattooed men emerged from Deslock’s cabin, which they had entered via grappling hooks through the porthole, and approached Keil’s cabin. Jonas Thrace has been holding them off, with recent help from Ko’el, though two men did get past him, one of whom stabbed Raven in the back. Other Expedition members are moving towards the sound of the fighting or searching the docks for the man who had been shouting threats earlier.

The Second Shadow War

Host: Portal Maniac

Telemain, Kallia, Irene, and Corwyn return to the library and locate Samuel’s corpse. Corwyn demands some jars, which the others go find, while he repairs the body and locates his soul. With the jars, he collects enough blood to refill his veins and reanimates him. Samuel opens a portal to Robin’s castle and tells Irene and Corwyn to rebuild the Library. Samuel tells Telemain and Kallia to destroy the city by any means and then floats outside the city. The magicians set fire to the castle, the city, and the docks. Then Robin, Targutai, and James return to the city and confront the magicians.
