OOC players can also participate!

--------

Basic information:
This is a series of in-forest war-games similar to the one I hosted last year. The enemy you must fight off are minions of Velocity - they are not deer and are carnivorous, and you can picture them as canine, feline, or something else entirely (old plotline description of them).
You can either battle them yourself in forest during the allotted times, or do something creative yourself (writing/drawing) depicting your character fighting one (or more!) of them. You can of course do both!
You do not need to know about Dag or the story in order to participate. This is just a great game to let loose and have an epic battle!
In forest the creatures are defined by this pictogram (below for quick reference), and wear the default set with the long mask only.

Location:
Dandelion Hill (the hill by the Ruins). If you want to come along just to watch, you are free to sit a sensible distance from the hill.

Rules/Guidance
The creatures actions:
• "Surprised" and "Head Tilt" - This is the equivalent of them baring their teeth and roaring/hissing. They will try to use this to bait and intimidate.
• "Antlers" - An attack using their claws and teeth. It is entirely up to you as to whether your character takes damage.
• To kill one: It must be hit by the antlers action a certain number of times (the number won't be revealed this time!). The creatures are stronger this time around, and may take longer to kill. The antlers action is purely to make this rule simple; you can translate this action however you like as an attack, just as I will be translating the antler action as the creatures to mean an attack with teeth and claws.

Your character's behaviour:
• If your character decides to chase one away please do not run it all around the forest disrupting other peoples play. Once it is at a safe distance, return to the Hill - others may need your help!
• If you need a break during the game, sit your avatar down - sitting deer will be left alone.
IMPORTANT! Mooing is forbidden for this game. This is so not to disrupt other players who don't want to be involved.

FRIDAY PLOT / OBJECTIVE
11:00pm-Midnight

Unseasonable weather has carried on in the forest for long enough, and recently there has been a sense of foreboding... This time last year, residents of the forest young and old became warriors in a great war.
The forest is unsettled.

Tonight, familiar razor teeth chatter and hiss in the shadows. They're waiting for something, and while they are here, they may as well settle a few scores with those who slayed them the year before. They remember each and every one of you... some more than others. They won't take kindly to new recruits, either.

Objective:
There is nothing to protect, but each other. They are tactical creatures that will work as a pack, so you will need to pay attention as to who they will be trying to single out. They are fast, and are able to attack the hill at all angles, so watch your backs...

X COMPLETED X

_________________________________________

SATURDAY PLOT / OBJECTIVE
4:00pm-5:30pm and 11:00pm-12:30am

In the presence of Death, Dag's true purpose had become apparent. He is to be the Equilibrium; the restoration of balance the forest and the God's needed. The stag had exposed Velocity's hand - he had taken not just Summer, but all 4 seasons from the world in the hopes of securing what he wanted - Iaurdagnire's very soul. In order for Dag to do as he promised the Red and Gold... he would need to surrender his life and forsake himself for a greater good.

However, Dag's freedom alone would mean mortality, that was always the crux of his journey. And so he defined the terms of the release of the Season Spirits as well as his own. He made his case to Velocity that in his mortality, death is an inevitability... And that fact of true life was all he ever wanted.
"There will be a time I will walk with you, and you have my word... as long as I have yours."

It was done. But nothing is as simple as it seems.

Objective:
A thick fog has descended...
Dag's body lays crumpled on the hill. He had been delivered back to the forest in an indiscreet and thundering crash, followed by a bright light as if a spark had fallen from the sun. His body bruised and broken from his year long war in the underworld where suffering was nothing, but it all felt real now. Disorientated and overcome with sickness and fatigue, the stag could not move let alone open his eyes to see where he was.

If one is to look closely, they will notice the ground becoming saturated with blood around his chest. The deadly wound that had ensured his journey had returned with his life... Velocity knew this.

Time of of the essence, for his suffering is too great to overcome... Your objective is to protect Dag from Velocity's demons, now stronger than ever; they will happily make his death quicker and painless...

X COMPLETED X

_________________________________________

SUNDAY PLOT / OBJECTIVE
8:00pm - 9:00pm and 10:30pm-Midnight

The monsters grow in numbers and have not weakened in their onslaught.
The brave become braver still in defending their stronghold, but despite efforts...
Dag's wound will not heal itself, and his will to wait out the war and hold on is fading.

Objective #1 - text/roleplay response. This is an option if you haven't been able to make it to any of the in forest parts, but still want to contribute somehow. You can do this even if you have been to the in forest parts if you want to - it's completely optional!
Shout, scream at him for his selfishness if he is to give up now after everything he has put you through. Tend to his wound and tell him stories of what he's missed in his year of absence. Tell him what he has to live for. Whatever you want your character to say, you have until 11:30pm UK time to do it. You can reply in this blog or make your own blog with your response and link to it here.

Objective #2 - In forest
The demons still come flying through the fog thick and fast, their roars filling the forest... you must be the ones to stop them.
Keep going, your warrior spirits are sure to put fire into Dag's bones...

11:30PM.

Though he gave no real response... He listened. To some, he had no choice but to, screaming at him to stop his nonsense. The very least he could do was open his eyes... But he couldn't. All he managed was a twitch of his ear - he hoped they knew. Numb from blood-loss, everything felt like a dream. The smell of sulfur... perhaps he was still in battle. The yelps and hyena chatter as they fell, and those triumphant roars... That is him roaring, it must be. But the voices? Were they with him? Were they fighting with him?

No, that wasn't him fighting. He could feel it. A gentle wind.
This was a natural place.
He was home. After all this time... His heart ached, and not just from the wound. What could he do? Nothing seemed to move, no matter how much he tried to tell it to. The realization that he was done had sunk in.
Will... Will isn't everything, after all. He always thought will surpassed the state of your own body, but it wasn't true. He understood how an old friend must have felt, at the end of the line, because that is all the body wants to do.

Fortunately, he wasn't the one who built him. The forest did.
There have been hard times, here and there. But they taught him right from wrong, they taught him to fight, and taught him to be... well, who he is. That's why his pictogram - his soul - could never leave.
Hah, his very name doesn't even belong to himself; there are creatures in this forest that forged every little bit of it, in their own way.

And who would have foreseen that one of them - a very small, celestial creature - would zip its way through the mayhem... to be the one to secure his fate to live.

"... It is time now. We'll be okay, Dag."

Cry is using his own energy to heal him. He will grow tired and weak... do your best to protect him.

00:00

"..."

"Hm-hm. I think you need to leave now."

The Endless Forest is under all of your supremacy.

Remove what is left of them together.

Poppy that's so sweet! It is nice to see everyone fighting a common enemy, in character or out of character, and that we can have a huge game like this without upsetting anyone in the forest elsewhere.

All because I forgot to run it in administrator mode..*sniffle*
Well darn it. Expect a text based journal, then. If I have time to write one before the next slot.

Thank you Dag! This was just as much fun as I remembered it being. =D I like the slightly stronger demons too, they don't vanish so quickly and actually provide more deer with something to do.

(The buggers had some kind of a vendetta against the veterans, I could tell. xD I could see Illrose, Ephiré, Zach and Gehirn getting their fair share of the action, at least. xD)

Looking forward to the next slots! =D Will be there if I possibly can.
