Hello Everyone,
Recently I started working on a new story, called Bourne of Fire, and since I'm sure you can't post whole stories in the Current Campaigns & Scenarios thread I decided to make my own.
It will consist of a Prologue, one or possibly two playable scenarios, and an epilogue, hopefully featuring a system where you will be given a code to input, using taunts, to give you one of three endings.
It is dawn outside an old church. The warm sunlight falls upon crumbling walls, and broken windows. Thieves have long since stolen the stained glass by now. The wooden door is rotting, and its rusted hinges can barely support it anymore. It creaks open as a slight breeze blows through the church, and then closed again, as another breeze blows in the opposite direction. A tree is visible through the roof, its seed carried by the wind into the church, through a hole in the roof. The tree’s colourful autumn leaves rustling, as it smoothly moves from side to side.
Inside, the roots of the tree touch a place where the tile have been upturned, leaving only dirt for it to grow. Near it lies an aged book, with a cover of wood, and ripped cloth. It has but one piece of parchment left in it, the others torn out, by an unknown being. The remaining page is blank, but marks upon the other side are visible through the page. Another gust of wind echoes through the church, gently turning the page, so the marks on the other side can be read:
“August 19, 1267
I fear for the people of our humble town; they stay in their homes and no longer come to church, even on Sundays the church is quieter than ever before, every sound echoing through the halls, like a vision of what is to come. The streets no longer resonate with life, or even death, they are simply empty.
I saw a woman walking down the street once two moons ago, but as soon as she caught sight of me, she ran down an ally, and I did not see her again. Could they be avoiding me? This I do not know, but I have been seeing strange plumes of thick smoke floating to the sky, from somewhere beyond the outer limits of the town. I wonder now if this has something to do with it. If it does, tonight I will find out, I fear for the worst, but I hope I am proven wrong. Whatever it is,
May god have mercy on their souls,
