ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE
Zombies have invaded Ravenblack City! A ritual performed by the Immolators Guild has gone awry and the veil between life and death has grown thin. Powered by necromantic blood magic, the countless victims of the vampires that stalk the city now rise from their graves, seeking vengeance. It's up to you to put them back where they belong by whatever means necessary - though going for the head usually helps.
Setting
Ravenblack City. Beginning October 1, following a roleplay detailing the ritual, zombies will begin shambling through the city streets. Your stories can take place in any setting within the city and the job of your characters is simple: end the threat.
Zombies
These are not your standard Romero zombies. They can run, they can fight, and most importantly, they can hurt your characters. While they lack sentience and any ability to communicate with you, this threat should not be underestimated. The hordes of the dead also seem to possess a sort of hive-mind intelligence, communicating with each other over vast distances to hone in on their prey.
Rules
You may participate solo or with a team. Teams will only be eligible for one prize, which will be split amongst them. Submitted stories can be of any length (or any number of posts), but must be tagged as [Halloween 2019] in the title. Three individuals or teams, selected by a panel of judges, who deal best with the imminent threat will move on to a final showdown-style roleplay competition where you must infiltrate the Immolators Guild and find a way to permanently end the madness. Details of this infiltration will be given to the selected participants but will be left largely up to the interpretation of each author.
Final participants and final winners will be judged on creativity, ingenuity, and overall flow. Ending the threat does not necessarily mean you will be selected for a first-place prize.
All entries must be submitted by October 25. The final showdown will take place between October 25 and October 31. Final winners will be announced November 1.
Clarification Edit: Entries should be submitted to the Roleplay section of the forum under whichever category you feel is appropriate. Feel free to also post a link to your submission in a reply to this thread.
