The sun is setting, the clouds stained pink and orange in the fading light. It’s a lovely evening, you think. Picturesque, even. The orange is especially appropriate, given that tonight is Halloween- All Hallow’s Eve, Samhain, call it what you will. Tonight is when Things Happen.
The zombies are already gathering at the town hall- not that this in itself really bothers anyone by this stage. Their loud obnoxious music, however, is another thing. Night after night after night, all month, it has plagued you and your fellow townsfolk. It’s enough to drive anybody insane!
Tonight, however, something strange is happening. Not the spirits rising like mists from the graveyard either- that’s fairly typical for this time of year, and nobody except the traders really tends to bat an eyelid. Rather, a strange white fog has appeared on the horizon, rolling closer by the minute.
But it’s not a fog…
Dragons. Ghostly, insubstantial dragons. In droves they descend, eyes bright and leering, upon the helpless village. Soon the citizens will be quaking in fear, barring their doors, sleep fitful and dreams dark and fretful…
Wait, what? Like a bunch of lousy ghosts every stopped you!
It’s time to find a good exorcist, and take back Dragonsberg for the living…

Notes: I’ve decided, based on the small number of participants for one, to base the roleplay in this one thread- at least for the time being. By no means does this mean that your characters all have to be interacting with all the others all of the time! Feel free to wander about the shopping district (not that there’ll be much open this time of day); stop by the haunted graveyard, chase after some zombies, attempt to swindle the local innkeeper, and generally just enjoy all that Dragonsberg has to offer. =P
