He does not like strangers and distrusts your untimely arrival. His colony is in the vice-like grip of supernatural evil, and he knows no way to combat it. <br /> <br /> What is worst, is about two weeks ago his son died from a mysterious ailment. Before Gremin slain in only son who became a zombie, the creature murdered his wife. The deaths of his family and grisly murders and missing people have put the constable on the edge and he has become harsh in his enforcement of the law. He believes the murders and some of the missing people are connected.

Upon the high steeple (the tallest structure in the colony save the watch tower) is a large brass bell. <br /> <br /> Pastor Brucian is the colony priest. He is a Hugonaut, as are many of the colonists. His residence is a small shack built to the side of the church. You manage to persuade him and he reluctantly describes recent events in the colony. <br /> <br /> He tells you that colonist have been dying suddenly, even those who were strong and healthy before hand. The first death occurred in the South Fields by a man named Hogarth. Reports stated that he fell to the ground stone dead and minutes later he rose once again and began to attack and bite the other workers trying to eat them. It took half a dozen men with pitchforks and scythes to bring him down.

She is deeply sadden by the disappearance of her only son Colin. You persuade Nadine to reveal that her Christrophe never returned from work five days ago out at the Plantation. Any inquiry of what happened is met with indifference.

Even the vegetation is unfamiliar yet that unlike that you know in the Old World.<br /> <br /> The road makes a sharp turn to the right before straightening out. The deep ruts where wagons have travel have pooled murky water from a combination of rainfall and a low water table. The road slowly winds to the left and you see a sign materialize out of the mist.

Inside the cottage, it appears to be a perfectly normal home with nothing out of place.<br /> <br /> Before you can consider your next action, the sound of a bell rings out through the muffling fog. It sounds like a church bell yet there is no common religious service that would be practiced on this particular day. You decide to investigate the ringing bell.<br /> <br /> You discover both source of the ringing and the whereabouts of the colonists. They have gathered in front of the church at the south end of the colony. It Appears they are all attending a funeral. Leading the service is the colony's Pastor. A giant of a man with a thick black beard whose voice booms out over the crowd. The colony follows him around the small church to the backside of the building where a small but surprisingly full graveyard sits.<br /> <br /> You presence has not been made yet as you seem the coffin being brought to the graveyard. It is but a simple wooden vessel yet wrapped completely in heavy metal chains. The coffin has eight strong looking men as pallbearers. The tall Pastor speaks once again in French, &quot;Tomas we return you body back to the earth. May you find piece in there in the afterlife. Tomas, you will be missed by all here, but Tomas you are no longer welcome here. Accept your fate and be a peace and bother Marais d'Tarason and her people no longer!&quot;<br /> <br /> You make another glance at the coffin and realize that the eight men are simply needed for the weight of the coffin but to keep it under control!

Your steel the only thing separating you from the death he wishes to dispense to you. You initial charge helps you force the constable back, but he lunges forward with a wild overhead slash.

Unfortunately, the constable is only spurred on by this. His attacks become even more desperate and you find yourself with little choice but to finish the fight with his death.<br /> <br /> You come in low as you Spanish rapier is plunged deep into the belly of the constable. The lawman keeps swinging his cutlass with futile desperation. It is over for him as he falls to his knees. He cries, &quot;Louise and little Jacques, Pappa is coming.&quot; As he finishes he falls over dead.<br /> <br /> As you clean the blood off your weapon.

However, in your mind you can still hear the rattling chains, banging fists, and even the scratching fingernails on the inside of the coffin until the unfortunate man's fingernails are bloody.<br /> <br /> After the funeral you are approached the colony's Constable. He is a man in forties with his greasy black hair becoming gray. His face is haggard and their are bags under is bloodshot blue eyes.

The fog quickly envelopes you hindering you sight to little more than a few tens of feet around you. Even the sound seems muffled by the mists as you feel completely cut off from the ship and the only other men you know to be here. You feel as if you're in a dark dreamscape of gray and brown. Even the vegetation is unfamiliar yet that unlike that you know in the Old World.<br /> <br /> The road makes a sharp turn to the right before straightening out. The deep ruts where wagons have travel have pooled murky water from a combination of rainfall and a low water table. The road slowly winds to the left and you see a sign materialize out of the mist. It reads Marais d'Tarascon and nothing else. With a few steps further the colonies first buildings reveal themselves from the fog. You find the very much the same as you would expect to find in the French countryside save they appear to be slightly raised from the the moist earth. A strange sight so far from the old world. Both disconcerting and comforting at the same time.<br /> <br /> You notice that you have heard no sound of people as you enter the colony proper. It is midday and yet there is no one. You even knock upon one the doors of near by cottage only to have no one answer. You even peer into the one the windows. Inside the cottage, it appears to be a perfectly normal home with nothing out of place.<br /> <br /> Before you can consider your next action, the sound of a bell rings out through the muffling fog. It sounds like a church bell yet there is no common religious service that would be practiced on this particular day. You decide to investigate the ringing bell.<br /> <br /> You discover both source of the ringing and the whereabouts of the colonists. They have gathered in front of the church at the south end of the colony. It Appears they are all attending a funeral. Leading the service is the colony's Pastor. A giant of a man with a thick black beard whose voice booms out over the crowd. The colony follows him around the small church to the backside of the building where a small but surprisingly full graveyard sits.<br /> <br /> You presence has not been made yet as you seem the coffin being brought to the graveyard. It is but a simple wooden vessel yet wrapped completely in heavy metal chains. The coffin has eight strong looking men as pallbearers. The tall Pastor speaks once again in French, &quot;Tomas we return you body back to the earth. May you find piece in there in the afterlife. Tomas, you will be missed by all here, but Tomas you are no longer welcome here. Accept your fate and be a peace and bother Marais d'Tarason and her people no longer!&quot;<br /> <br /> You make another glance at the coffin and realize that the eight men are simply needed for the weight of the coffin but to keep it under control! Whoever is inside of the coffin it still alive and trying to get out! <br /> <br /> Do you:<br /> *[[Allow the colonists to finish the funeral]]<br /> *[[Help Tomas from being buried alive]]<br /> {{Status|Equipment=''Rapier, Pistol''|Health=100%|MP=#|Level=1}}<br /> [[Miasma of Death]]</div> Sun, 10 Jun 2012 05:47:14 GMT REH fan http://72.14.177.54/Create_your_own_story/Talk:Walk_down_the_muddy_road http://72.14.177.54/Create_your_own_story/Search_the_Warehouse <p>REH fan:&#32;Created page with 'You decide since the warehouse is the closest structure, it should searched first.
