Yay! First post.

It was a dark and stormy night. Qanda, the caretaker of the old and decrepit Doom Castle, was snoozing at the gates of the castle when he was confronted by a bunch of soaked travelers.
"What’s up with you all?” he asked. "What brings you to this god-forsaken place at such a god-forsaken hour?"
"We seek but a resting place, a shelter for the night," Matt replied. "Such inclement weather is not conducive for night journeys."
"I’m sorry, my brethren, but Doom Castle is a far less conducive location to seek refuge in. Rumour has it that the ghosts of Lord Doom and Lady Doom haunt the castle; their malevolent spirits are not to be trifled with."
"Malevolent spirits? Eeek!" shrieked Jellyoflight.
"Could you tell us more?" Khristian enquired anxiously.
"My pleasure. Doom Castle was the property of Lord Doom, a notorious ruler in the late 15th century. He was a vindictive and sadistic lord who delighted in the torture of his subjects. His wife, Lady Doom, was no stranger to cruelty either. Together, they committed many unspeakable atrocities. They were eventually assassinated by the legendary archer and vigilante, Hobin Rood.
"However, their restless spirits never left Doom Castle," continued Qanda. "Many have ventured into Doom Castle in search of the gold stash accumulated by Lord Doom in his heyday, but none have returned. It is also rumoured that the spirits of Lord and Lady Doom can possess innocents at will, using their bodies to perform gruesome tasks.
"Hence, it is highly unadvisable to enter the castle, regardless of how stormy the weather is," concluded Qanda gravely. "It may even cost you your life."
However the_dog_god was not convinced. "Let us in, you unconvincing liar. Have you not resided here for years without incident?"
"Maybe he is just too lazy to see to our lodgings!" chimed in o_0.
"On the contrary, my guests. I would be most delighted to entertain your arrival (though I perceive an evil aura around certain members of your group), however it would be foolhardy for anyone but me to enter the castle. That is because I have been blessed by the Holy Priest Shankuza before taking up this post, and thus am impervious to the machinations of Lord and Lady Doom. Even so, I am still wary of the evils which reside in the castle, and only permit myself to keep vigil at the gates."
"This old man blabs on and on, doesn’t he?" complained Chipper impatiently. "My gown is getting soaked through already!" Pushing past Qanda, she opens the gates and runs into the castle grounds. The other travellers rush through after her, leaving a Qanda protesting vainly behind them.
"Come back, come back!" He called. Ignored by the travellers, he runs in after them.
Behind him, the gates creaked shut tightly, and the drawbridge was raised......

This game will be very interesting, I can tell that already, because of the well-written scenes.
Sat May 14, 2005 4:18 pm
I shalt repeat this:
Knowing me, I just couldn't stop at one game...so in total I have five running
The Matriarch Wars [Which I'm hosting...and the matriarchs are sitting around eating apples not doing much else]
Twizzler's Royal Disaster [Which is semi-active and should be renamed Twizzler's Royal Graveyard because my hosting involves the innocents kicking the bucket a lot...]
NeoScammers Werewolf [Sigh...day 2 seems not to have happened or something like that?]
Pink Ink Werewolf [Well, I'm here aren't I?]
Qanda's Doom Castle Werewolf [Beause it's fun to be doomed in a castle]
So yes...if I send the wrong list...it's probably because I'm really confused and juggling five things at once
I'm posting to announce I'm here =]
And Qanda...That was an awesome intro
[Ignore the floating hearts...they're ebil!]...^^ This is going to be a great game

Qanda and the guests gather in the Great Hall of the castle.
"I told you all not to come in! This castle is cursed! The gates and drawbridge have shut themselves and there is no way we can get out of this castle!" He storms angrily.
"Well, what’s done is done. I suppose the curse will be lifted once we get rid of the evil among you." Qanda says, scanning the faces of the 24 people congregated before him. "Everyday, you can vote to execute one of the persons among you. The execution will be carried out by the resident castle executioner at the gallows beside the graveyard. That’s all I can do to help you. However, some among you may have special powers, which may prove useful too."
Qanda looks out of the window. A pale glimmer of sunlight danced on the horizon. "Look, it’s almost morning already. Nevertheless, I’ll take you to your individual rooms. Come on."
All roles have been sent out. Day 1 has started. It will end at Monday, 5 AM. All players must read their roles and post before that deadline or risk modkilling.
