book
i just developed a new found love for a certain dnd monster, so this is all about mimics (at first). it's not dnd so you don't need your dice or anything (unless you really want to ig), but i am dming, so don't worry about keeping the plot going cause i'll handle that. i'll also be using the classic dnd rule set/world btw
(im not sure how many open spots there are, so we'll cross that bridge if we get to it.)
(Consider me interested. Is there any more specific details aside from just 'all about mimics'?)
book
(wow, that was quick, but no, not yet. i thought it'd be a while for people to join so i thought i had more time lol)
(Dude….. can I be a mimic?)
book
(hell yeah.)
(yes! I have one made up. She is, in fact, a chest mimic.)
book
(coughs in i made a knife mimic named Kendall Nife.)
book
(and remember that mimics don't have to stay the same shape.)
(yep! She enjoys the chest most of the time. Her names Malorie. She enjoys taking a humanoid form to draw her pray in, although she stays connected to the chest.)
book
(humanoid? are we both using the dnd monster?)
(Yes- they can mimic anything. she likes looking human sometimes.)
book
(i don't want to be the '"actually" guy' but they can't mimic living things and also they have to stay a consistent size (but they do grow when they eat))
(… its been a while sense i researched them- forget that part then)

book
rifendale, the realm of the living, has been in turmoil for the past twenty seven years.
many monsters and creatures of evil have banded together to fight the humanoid races taking countless lives in their wake. only eight places are left where people are truly safe from the horrors of the outside, places known as 'the havens'.
many people speculate that the non-humanoids, who most call 'the beasts', are angry for always being considered lower than the rest of the races, angry from watching their families and comrades getting butchered for supplies and some of the folk agree with them, joining their side and becoming wraiths and ghouls.
others say this is the doing of a god, one that was angry because they couldn't rule over all the races and decided to eradicate them instead. the people who believe this made pacts with fiends and demons in a desperate attempt to survive.
many other rumors have been flying around for years but no one can fully confirm the truth.
but the fact still stands, in these dark times it's the folk vs. the beasts,
adventurers. choose your side.

book
the wizards and mages training academy max attended was located 30 miles from Valdeludo Magicae, or as it was called by most people, Spellbound.
it was the biggest haven uptodate, mostly because it had a spellcaster dominated population and all 'beasts' were very strictly prohibited, any beats caught there would be killed or imprisoned, and anyone found guilty of helping them were either imprisoned or exiled.
the academy is an extension of Spellbound, placed outside the borders to allow the students to be trained in proper handling and destruction of beasts among other things, without bringing beasts into the haven itself, although, being so far out from Spellbound the usual laws tended to waver.
max, and his class of seven, now had to go into dungeons and make it out with something of value, with supervision of course, as apart of the final exam, a test held at the end of each year to evaluate how much the students have learned.
max, two of his classmates and a chaperone, were supposed to enter 'The caves of Beshaba'.
the dungeon is a network of caves. there are rumors of valuable treasures inside from when people worshipped Beshaba, the god of misfortune.
there are two days to practice and prepare before your departure, your classmates are excited and so is even the chaperone, the young substitute teacher.
you have two days, how would you like to prepare max?

(thanks!)
From Within his Dorm Room, Max is packing a satchel with all of his necessities. He plopped a few days worth of rations, and some books to read. Really, wasn't much to prepare for the dungeon aside from his arcane focus. Jerome from over the desk seemed to be sleeping while Max was packing. Max placed a few more extra books into his bag, and declared it packed for the trip.

(i'll get mal and finn's starters up, then i'll come back to you.)

book
(ok mal.)
the non-humanoid people who call themselves 'the eerie', have celebrated the war since the start. no longer will they play by the folks rules, and they'll finally get what they want, what they deserve.
most of the eerie had split motivations as to why they were working together to eradicate the folk, but they at least agree they none of them will get anywhere while fighting the humanoids and each other.
The caves of Beshaba have been home to many mimics over the years, but since the war started it's been home to a rather large colony of mimic's that rule the caves and even most of the other beings who lived there. every now and then in recent years groups of young wizards would find their way through, raiding their nests. this time they eerie have figured out when the folk will come. talk about an attack is all through the tunnels.
there are only two days until then, malorie, how would you like to prepare?
