The women tended their washing and chores, sparing an occasional glance at the forest surrounding their village. The news from the frontier had been ever more dire, spoken of in hushed tones over quiet dinner tables with absent menfolk.
The men were off fighting the Enemy, and the accounts of the battles were sketchy but dire. There had been word that the battle was being fought right in the woods nearby. No one knew for sure, but the foreboding and gloom in the village was palpable. The unspoken fear weighed on the women. None dared broach the unbroachable thought that the war was lost...
OOC: You will note that I have left the particulars of the women and the Enemy vague. The village could be in a medieval fantasy period, beseiged by orcs or ogres. It could be an Indian settlement or African kraal surrounded by white settlers...or a European outpost besieged by natives. It will be up to you, my role-playing partner(s), to select the time period and ethnic group of your character..which in turn will help define that of the women and the Enemy alike.
This will be a case of first-come, first-served. Once a response has been posted, subsequent responses must be consistent (i.e., if one player posts that his orc commander is eyeing the village, the next shouldn't post that the 8th U.S. Cavalry is advancing on the Indians, but an ogre or goblin or farmgirl or herbalist would be fine.)
The game is now open.
