THIS IS HALLOWEEN
                                                                                                                                 halloween!

The music in the world flowed dark, yet sweet.  It came in howls and laughter, a song of playful fear.  It was the taste of chocolate with a bite that made one desire more rather than less. 

It was that spoopy time of year!

The orchard was decked out with spider webs and hanging vines, dark apples and cinnamon.  There was play and fun throughout the grounds, both humanoid and equine.  You are greeted by one of the triplets who directs you to games, treats, or.... potion making? 

With a bright smile, they leave you to your choices, heading back to their own activities.

Sing Me a Song... of Sorts with Saevia

Saevia stands among the trees, eyes closed as she sways to the hum of magic. There's a song coalescing in the woods, a song that struggles for form!  She can't seem to catch it, as though the melody hovers just out of audible reach.  Thankfully, there are those nearby who can help define just what this song should be.  Help the magic to call down the Elenaria from the midnight sky by giving it rhythmic pathways to follow!

Rules
  • Each user may fill out the custom form once, but each blank may ONLY be filled with a song!
  • Each song in a single form must be different. This means "Let It Go" may only be used once, regardless of other covers/remixes/etc.
  • Songs may be reused by other users. So "Let It Go" (even the exact same version) may be posted on two or more different forms.
  • Forms may be updated until the end date.[/b]
    • Each user may only enter one form, unless later specified in thread.
    • There is a chance of multiple rounds for this game.
    • This game opens immediately and ends the 20th of October.

Own a Bone

Like all Kelpies, he was sung down to the sea.  His hooves took form at the tops of the waves, his body seeking its existence through the notes weaving in the air.  But the rush of rain and wave did not take hold of him as he wished.  He was pulled across the ocean's foam into a recently opened crack in the earth.  His great body shuddered as the ashen dust of the dead settled over his skin like a film.

The creature that crooned his song was skeletal and dark, eyes blazing a fiery red of the underworld.  And he was formed much in its image.

It was another earthquake that freed him from the crypt that might have become his own, the monstrosity that wished to overtake the stallion's body crushed beneath fallen stone.  And he whirled on bright hooves, making his escape through the crack which had first been his bars. 

Clear ocean air filled his lungs and he jolted to the shore, to a reason to live.  It is only now, months later, that he seeks a home and someone who will allow him to come and go as he pleases.  Only then can he truly share his heart.

Ghost in the Graveyard



image copyright FrederikM

The ground is moist beneath your feet, threatening to suck you down.  The world is green, but it's faded, almost grey.  The tombs are overgrown, the grounds a bramble.  And somewhere, just out of sight, is an eerie song. 

Something lurks here, ghosting between the trees and monuments.  It's calling you, even as something about this place repels.  There is death here, a slow, inexorable death.

For a moment, you see a figure amidst the decay.  A true creature? Or just a figment of your imagination?  There's only one way to find out...




A Plague Ghost seems to be haunting this cemetery, and, if you dare, you may attempt to entice her to your side.  This is an RP event, and the Ghost will decide based on your interaction with the environment as well as her just who can draw her to a true home.

  • Each RP post needs to be a minimum of 50 words, but no more than 200.  dunkillmewithwords.
  • You may post up to three times in this thread, but only one post per day.
  • The post topics are:
    • Why you were drawn into the graveyard
    • What you see/hear/sense in the graveyard
    • How you entice the ghostly gal to come home with you.
  • This event opens 22Oct and ends 31Oct at 1300 Secundi time.  (1300 == 1 pm)
Congratulations, BKC!  She will be ghosting her way to you shortly!



The Gravekeeper's Challenge


Image, like death, is coming....

The storm takes form and she appears as the crest of the waves pouring towards the shore.  From the depths of the Orchard she canters forth, elemental.  Her head tosses, nearly glowing green eyes pinning you in place.  There is something less than sane within their depths, yet her keen intellect is just as obvious.

She is as wild as she is beautiful.  She won't tolerate anyone who cannot handle her in all of her glory.  Can you master the Gravekeeper?  Or will she bury you, too?


The Gravekeeper will allow users to try to keep up with her by staying on her back.  She's willing to go home with whoever can stay on her the longest, but beware!  She's just as strong as she looks!

  • Once an hour, you roll 1d20.
  • You stay on her back at a 15 or higher.
  • You must roll a minimum of 10 times, unless you are thrown.
  • If you stay on her back for all 10 rolls, then you must only roll once every 12 hours. She won't allow anyone to just sit idly
  • Once you are thrown, you may not roll any more.
  • Whoever can stay on her back for the most number of rolls wins!
  • If there is a tie, there will be a sudden death round!
  • This event begins on the 22nd of Oct and ends on the 30th of October at 11:00pm Secundi time.
Good luck trying to keep up with the Gravekeeper!

Thanks to the title of this thread, I now have that one holiday song stuck in my head.  You know the one.

And it's not even November yet.

I'm really, really amused that 'spoopy' has become one of the internet's regular vernacular. XD

That witchy girl is AMAZING! I love her snake-like pattern! Kudos to whoever colored her! I can't wait to think up a spell for her. X3

Taking a step forward with her head low, the caster respectfully curtsied to the Swamp Queen. "My Queen, it is with honor that I present to you the greatest spell I've ever cast." She said softly, her voice resonating around the echoing room. She pulled the vial from her cloak pocket and opened it, breathing in the wondrous aroma it gave. There were hints of many things within the spell; The bark of the Cypress tree, Sage, Lilac, faint Vanilla, Citrus, and a deep musk to name a few. The cool breeze in the eve of Autumn seemed to radiate around the vial as she closed her eyes and began to hum. Softly at first, then louder into a chant to bring the spell to life before the Swamp Queen.

Suddenly the room exploded with wind and the smells of the spell, it was completely captivating and strong. Her heart sang with excitement and focus before a burst of green light came between the Swamp Queen and the caster. Opening her eyes in a hast, the caster looked at the Swamp Queen with wide eyes. She was more glorious than ever, and the power of the spell vibrated through both of their bodies. "Whoa." the caster said, breathless. Surely she hadn't expected it to be This powerful!

Voodoo stomps his hoof impatiently, this spell book was utterly useless. He noses the book to the ground, kicking it away impatiently. "I'll just make up my own spell," he grumbled. None of them were exactly what he wanted anyway.

"Lets see.....eye of newt? No, that is much too common, I want something to really wow her," he says as he tosses it aside. "Ahah!" He grabs a vial and trots over to the cauldron and gently taps out 3 drops of honeysuckle extract. He then returns to the shelves and begins nosing through the shelves again.

"Hmmm, this could work," as he grabs the rattle of a rattle snake and tosses it over into the pot. A hiss rises from the cauldron when it hits. Next he tosses in a couple of bat wings, a sprig of lavender, a pinch of stardust, a salamander, and the bark of a dogwood tree.

At this point the contents are sputtering and sounding much like a dying animal, the colors, well...lets just say they are a tad bit less than appealing. He snorts into the pot and turns to his shelves once again. The very back of one of the shelves sits some moss, why not? I can't make it any worse, he thought. Into the pot it goes along with a purple stone.

At this point a horrible smell is leaking from the cauldron, but it has turned to a very nice shade of purple. He turns back to the shelves and rummages around some more. He comes out with a bottle of vanilla, vanilla makes everything better right? He goes to add a few drops to the rancid concoction and the entire bottle tumbles into the goop with a sploosh and a hiss. It did make it smell slightly better.

"Oh. Oh my, oh no," a young mage mutters to herself as she leaves a trail of oddities behind her, the top most bits and bobs from the pile in her arms tumbling to the ground as she rushes towards the cauldron. She drops her pile rather haphazardly at the base of the cauldron before scurrying back for her other items. When she returns she clears her throat and says, "A-hem. I am going to make a spell that casts a perfect dream."

She fills the cauldron with lemonade before tossing in a soothing lavendar bathbomb. She continues muttering under her breath as she she waits for the liquid to boil. Once it does she lovingly places in an old stuffed otter that is clearly quite dear to her. The tears she lets slip over its sacrifice fall into the mixture. The anxious seeming young lady is oddly confident as she whips out a crazy straw to begin stirring. As the cheap plastic melts in the boiling cauldron she lets it fully fall in.

Smiling to herself she pulls out a rather large container of glitter from a pocket in her robe that seems much too small for what just emerged from it. She dumps the whole thing in - and here a small glimmer of mischief seems to spark in her eyes - and suddenly the cauldron's contents make a high-pitched whining sound and turn crystal clear. "Done!" She pulls out a small bubble wand that she dips into the cauldron and uses the mixture to blow a small bubble that is then trapped in a vial. "There we are, just let that loose before you fall asleep and you'll have nothing but good dreams," she announces as she offers the spell to the Swamp Queen.

A middle-aged elf in druid's garb, carrying a rowan staff, approached the Swamp Queen's cauldron.   After a single swift glance at the unusual unicorn, he turned his attention to the grimoire and began paging through it, stopping occasionally to rummage through the contents of his pockets and herb pouch.  At last, he stopped at a page that seemed to meet with his approval. 

"A spell to - that must be rejuvenate - and restore dead plants to life, hmm?  Not exactly the right time of year for it, but it should be easy to see the effects, at least," he mused aloud, turning to the cauldron.  "Ash bark for healing and power, elderberries for purification and completion of the Circle, holly for rebirth, oak sap for strength, pine needles to make the soil fertile, rowan leaves for protection, and yew wood for immortality and rebirth."  He deposited the ingredients one by one into the cauldron as he spoke their names and purposes.  As the small chunk of yew wood, the last named ingredient, fell into the potion, the water turned a pale brownish color and began to give off steam.  The Druid took his staff and began stirring the mixture with a slow, careful clockwise motion, chanting softly at first, then rising to a crescendo as the water slowly turned from brown, to red, to green and the scent of pine filled the air.

As his mixture reached a boil, the elf stopped stirring, let go of his rod and, with both hands, made a gesture of release.  The mixture in the cauldron rose like a giant bubble and burst with a loud POP, sending shimmering gobs and droplets all over the clearing.  In spite of the season, every plant the droplets touched seemed suddenly to acquire new life and vigor. The green of new shoots and grass became visible through the fresh leaf-falls, and even the Druid's rowan staff now sported a branch with a few leaves.
