Skeletons in the Closet - An Old Face in Sren'ja

This thread will be containing spoilers for the new guild storyline. If you wish to experience the story as it unfolds, you may not want to read what is in the spoiler boxes. Please keep knowledge of the information in this thread OOC, unless of course you are told IC or experience an event IC.

Night falls on Sren'ja. The inhabitants turn in for the night, cozying themselves in the Clanmother's or in any of the other Khajiiti buildings. While the inhabitants of the town are safe inside, they are oblivious to what is happening in the dark.

The creaking of bones and little knocks on the door are whispers of a secret in Sren'ja. Some may know this secret, some are oblivious. When it is all done, the whole town will be subject to the darkness soon to befall the Sren'ja...

for this secret is more than just a skeleton in the closet...

For those unfamiliar with the idiom, "a skeleton in the closet" refers to a shameful secret. Plenty of those in Sren'ja! But this one will feature some silliness and spooky fun, as well as some strangeness and an old (or new) face. Join us for the events on Dec 12th, 15th, 19th, (22nd & 26th will be a gift giving break due to the holidays), 29th, and Jan 2nd to experience the mystery! Without you, the darkness lurking in Sren'ja will suceed!

If you would like to help with the behind-the-scenes of the event including creating disposable NPCs, or even playing a "bad" guy, contact me here, or in game @Sweet_Roll_Thief (Elsynia Nightwind). We'd love to see everyone get involved! Plus we're currently in need of some Roleplay Officers, and no better way to get noticed than to help out.

Thank you. <3

Story Background & Synopsis

Spoiler

Recently, on a trip to an Ayleid ruin, Gata had a mummy brought back to Sren'ja for study. The mummy now sits in the secret back room in the Mages' Institution of the Arcane within Sren'ja... along with the other bodies there for study. Now it seems the bodies are becoming reanimated and walking around the town.

It is up to the town to figure out why these skeletons are suddenly awake, and put a stop to whatever may be giving them life.

Event Schedule & Outlines

Spoiler

Friday Dec 12: Mummy/skeleton rises and becomes sentient. It walks into the Clanmother's. The skeleton steals someone's weapon and run off with it, making a few people chase after it before it drops and loses sentience. The town will begin to investigate.

Monday Dec 15: More skeletons appear as the town is gathered in the Sren'ja Mages house researching and trying to find a cause to the skeletons' sentience. They decide to revisit the dungeon they took the mummy from to look for more clues. They visit the dungeon but it does not prove useful. This means the source of power can only be coming from Sren'ja. They return, still not knowing why the skeletons are alive.

Friday Dec 19: The skeletons finally lead the town back to Tilano (who has set up a form of base somewhere in or near Sren’ja). He taunts them and toys with them as he does usually.

Dec 22 & 26: I want to leave open given the holiday and most will probably not be online. During this time Tilano will be non-maliciously antagonizing the town. We will be having a Secret Gift Giving event for the Holidays! More to come.

Monday Dec 29: Tilano acts out, growing tired of the town. He sends the town on a quest if they want him to leave and return things to normal.

Friday Jan 2: Once the quest is completed, Tilano returns things to they way they were, then leaves. Or at least promises not to bother them for now…
