No stories have been completed yet. ====== Story One: Father of Flies ====== {{:y2016m10d28p1.jpg|}} An unnamed investigator finds themselves chained to a post in the woods after getting too close to discovering the horrific plans of their cousin, a power cultist. They've been left as a sacrifice to an inhuman mythos monster known as the [[father_of_flies|Father of Flies]]. They must find a way to escape. Fortunately, they remember that there is an abandoned camp ground nearby- once home to a terrible slaughter and long closed, it's now their only hope. With luck, they'll be able to find enough resources to escape the [[father_of_flies|Father of Flies]]. ===== Polls ===== ==== 1:1. ==== ==== 1:2. ==== A Monster stalks the woods.

While the cultist still has a passing resemblance to their old self, their appearance has been warped by their servitude to the dread masters. What does the ghost look like? This is an open ended question. We’ll amalgamate as many of the responses as we can. The resulting monster will be public domain. ---- Death By Mage- //Lanky and insect-like with traces of their humanoid face blended with the assumed form.// ---- Michelle- //Since it saw such evil, the eyes should reflect some sort of trauma. Whited out eyes, like cataracts almost, but more severe. Lips sewed shut because of the eternal servitude. That's all I got right now.// ---- Jordan J.- //Hrrrrrrm... Cultist was fairly sturdy in life, but their ghost is looking progressively more sickly/starved/unkempt--more like a slowly rotting body than an immortal imprint--the longer it pursues us, and something around their eyes is going hollow and beastly/demonic. Even the restless dead are meant to "sleep" eventually, and our pursuer has been "awake" for years now under extreme duress.// ---- Lynda F- //Thanks! Imagine if you will, a man who has begun to look like a lobster; spindly extra limbs, and long whisker-like antenna.// ---- Steven R- //I think he should have chains around his arms and ankles as well. Symbolizing his servitude. Or something to show that he can't get away//
