Blackrose Prison

7th Rain’s Hand, 3E431: The most formidable prison in the Imperial Empire, Blackrose, was broken last night. It isn’t yet known how many inmates escaped, but it is presumed they are moving towards the border with Morrowind at some speed.

We have informed every major city’s garrison of these events, requesting that all ports be sealed and that Black Marsh’s borders are regularly patrolled. We suspect they will head to Morrowind because they refuse to patrol their borders any more than they already do. Damn slavers.

This is where you come in. If you wish to help, arrive at Blackrose by the 14th of Rain’s Hand, where you will join a group of bounty hunters to track down and retrieve the prisoners. I needn’t remind you that this will be very dangerous. Not only will Black Marsh probably try to kill you, but the prisoners are desperate and they may try anything to escape.

Bring Mandrake Root.

Signed,

Lucian Chase, Captain of the Blackrose Guard.


Who Are You?
There are two sides to this RP:
You are one of the prisoners who escaped. You have nothing but the clothes on your back, and whatever you managed to secure for yourself in the escape.

You are one of the bounty hunters. You arrive at Blackrose with a 15 day gap to the prisoners.

What Are You Doing?
If you are a prisoner, you will undoubtedly be trying to secure weapons, armour and provisions, all the while trying not to get killed by the Marsh, and make it North to Morrowind.

If you are a bounty hunter, your job is to try and retrieve the prisoners before they reach Morrowind, dead or alive.

Where Do You Start?
The prisoners start on the northern shore of the lake north of Blackrose, having fashioned a raft out of fallen trees to avoid being tracked.

The bounty hunters start at Blackrose, in a meeting with the Captain of the Guard.

This is something that's always interested me, but there's next to no lore surrounding it. So what better than to RP it and have our own lore? This is my first attempt at creating an RP, so any suggestions or improvements (for anything) will be gladly welcomed.

Looks very interesting! It seems a great opportunity to play a character I've been toying with for a while now.

Expect a CS in a day or so, if I'm not to busy with homework

Reserve me a spot. I'll PM you the char sheet this Friday or Saturday, Australian time.

Reserve me a spot too please! I am very interested in this idea, will get a character sheet as soon as possible! Still have to think about characters though.

Certainly guys! Consider your places reserved.
Using the forums on a phone is hell!

Can you save me a spot as well? Oh, and would it be possible to play a character on both the prisoner side and the bounty hunter side?

save me a spot as well, if possible. I'm very interested.

Sorry, double post

I'd like a place too, as a prisoner

Consider your spots reserved guys.

Broken-Scale, yes. You can have a character on one side and another on the other side. I'll be doing this.


Just to let you know though, due to recent issues at home, I now no longer have any regular access to a computer (basically I got kicked out by my dad, and I'm not sure whether I can move into my mums). I'll still be around here occasionally, but I doubt it'll be with the kind of regularity needed to run an RP. That doesn't mean I'm dropping this though, it'll just have an extended sign-up period and hell, we can brainstorm some ideas. For instance, what happens if the prisoners escape?

I'll keep you guys updated.

Id love a spot, so ill send you a pm with my char when i get to my computer

Question, if Black Marsh is south of Morrowind, and your trying to escape into North of Morrowind, will you be going through Cyrodiil or going straight into Morrowind to the north? I didn't quite understand that.

I would like a spot for this, will send a character sheet if I'm accepted.

They're escaping North TO Morrowind, not to the North OF Morrowind Apologies for the misunderstanding. Where you interested in joining?

Sure thing guys, I'll make a note of the number of reservations and places left in the OP. But yeah, Trannigan and Hi!, welcome aboard

Ooh, I would love to have a spot in this. Please reserve one, I'll send a sheet ASAP

I'd like to take part in this. Reserve me a spot please.

As would I! I already have a character in the works, who's gonna (if permitted) appear in another role play I'm currently participating in. It'll be fun portraying this character on either side of the eight year time gap. Begs me to ask the question, how has she changed?

Howdy folks, already been accepted. I'll post my sheet up later.

This is filling up quicker than I expected, awesome!

I've reserved you guys a spot. Just send me a character sheet when you get the chance. Hell, I'm still putting the finishing touches to mine!

Can I reserve too? Thanks, in advance!

Certainly, Sybbyl.

Could you guys with reserved spots possibly mention which side you intend to be on (if you know, of course) in this thread? I ask so I can keep up to date (and keep you up to date) with how many people are on which side and who. Thanks

I am not entirely sure yet, I want to be an Altmer with an Akaviri Dai-Katana (like the concept art), but I cannot really do that with the Prisoners, so I will go with the Bounty Hunters

I'd like to be a bounty hunter I'm still doubting, but if possible can i also have a character on the prisoner side ?
