October is here. Since you're all members of Althanas, I'll assume none of you has anything more interesting to do in this party-tastic month than to join in on this Vignette Contest.
Let us review the rules very quickly:
1) One submission per character. Multiple accounts by the same author are allowed.
2) Please make your posts during the duration of time allotted (which is during the month of September). Editing your posts is permitted so long as they are edited within the contest's time frame.
3) The moderator judging the monthly vignette contest will post a vignette at the end, but will not be eligible for a prize.
4) Only on-topic vignettes will be considered for the prize. The topics are meant to be broad enough that no character should be particularly limited.
5) PCs must be involved in all vignettes. How "canonical" you choose to have the events of the vignette is up to you.
6) All participants receive 5% of the EXP they need to reach the next level. The top three finishers get 100, 75 and 50 GP respectively.
This month's prompt:
They could be anyone famous from Earth, from any period in history. And you could be anywhere on Althanas.It is that ungodly hour when no decent man would dare step foot outside of his home. You wander through with not a soul in sight; there is no trace of the day's activity to comfort you. Mist rolls in and embraces you like a fat, soggy lover, and every step you take fills you further with a feeling of dread and fright.
To your horror, you realize you're not alone. Off in the distance is a shadowy figure that comes closer to you. With the barest light upon them, they introduce themselves. To your relief, they're not a specter or a monster, or even people handing our religious pamphlets.
They introduce themselves as a celebrity. From Earth.
But if you meet Hitler just to beat him up, you will fail.
