I really liked Ceidon's idea for the Fetch Quest - lots of participants, short posts, no rigid posting order, and a good amount of leeway on the writer's parts - so I thought I would try and run a quest in a similar manner. So, if you're interested, please have a look at the quest outline below, and if you're still interested after that, submit a post in this thread and let me know :)
The Puppeteer's Praxes
The first signs were so small, none could have hoped to see them. Folk who were renowned for honesty were caught telling blatant lies, or people who hadn't a mean bone in their body would begin to spew poison at friends and family. Then the problem grew, as theft and violence burgeoned on the streets of Serenti. The thing was, the culprits were the same kinds of people - formerly law abiding, peaceful citizens, who had suddenly decided to smash in a storefront window or bloody their knuckles on the face of whoever happened to be closest when they snapped. The incidents grew more and more serious, but perhaps the most remarkable thing about them was the lack of caution amongst the perpetrators. In every case, the crime would happen in broad daylight, surrounded by witnesses.
Three days ago, things became truly dire. A man sits in a cell below the city watch house, pleading innocence to the bloody murder of three citizens of which he has been accused, on the strength of nothing less than the testimony of twenty witnesses and the dripping knife found still clutched in his hand upon the guard's arrival. To the authorities, it is simply another horrific murder; uncommon, perhaps, but not unheard of. Others, however, appear to be sceptical. Notes have sprung up across the city, nailed to posts and trundling in the breeze, promising coin for help. They direct interested parties to a small, dusty-windowed property on Cadling Road, a quiet merchant's street deep within the city.
Some may be interested in the money, others in the chance to do some good - still others, perhaps, are attracted by the mystery, or maybe they keep their motives to themselves. Whatever the reason, intrigue awaits in the coastal sprawl of Serenti.
RULES
Preferably 2-3 paragraphs per post, maybe a couple more if you really need it. The idea is to make this a really easy thread to maintain activity in, and perhaps, also to test people's concision.
No strict posting order. While it would be courteous to refrain from spamming the thread with heaps of consecutive posts, if you feel like you want to write, then go for it!
Stick it to the man! I'm going to try and adapt the story to events as they occur, so don't feel shy about deviating from the 'plot' (whatever that may be). Have fun with this - that's an order!
There is no fee for joining, but donations of beef jerky, mutton, old bones or chew toys are greatly appreciated.
