The Tale of the Ragman

 


 

In the middle of the tundra lands between Hanseti-Ruska and Norland, a small campfire burns among a set of overturned logs, in front of a handful of tents and a lean-to...

The sun fading from the end of Dusk and the Beginning of the cold night.

 

A Papej sits upon one of those logs, in front of the campfire, his Syns on his lap and his brow furrowing whilst the pair of spritely boys beg their Papej for a Ghost Story.

 

Finally, their Papej relents…

 

 


 

Once upon a time, many, many years ago, back in the reign of Koeng Marius the Good, the streets of his capital were bright and happy.

 

 But, at night, when the mist slowly rolled from the docks and onto the Houses, it was said that the evil Ragman would appear.

 

My Aetymamej told me that he carried a bag over his hunched shoulders…

…And he was looking…

…Always looking to fill it.

 

He moved through the night, from window to window, eerily searching each room.

 

Good Children were safe, Aentymamej said, asleep and warm in their bed.

They had nothing to fear.

 

But if vy were awake past vyr bedtime, the Ragman would catch you.

And when He did, She said: 

“He would smile wickedly”

“He would point his crooked cane”

“And… Poof!

 

In the morning, when their Papejs & Mamejs would call for the child…

They were gone.

 


 

 The “Ragman” Sleepover event:

 

As a result of the Ragman story being circulated around the Realm of Hoonseti-Rooska, the Children of said Realm now have a Nightmarish Entity Haunting their Dreams & Sleepovers.

 

Therefore, at the next Sleepover event:

 Saturday 11th February

3pm EST

Weiss Keep

The Ragman will visit the Naughty Children who refuse to sleep.

 

 

Spoiler

The Game is a belligerent blend of "Hide & Seek" & "Last Man Standing" 

 

This is a Horror-themed, RP/CRP, Timed Event - Not PvP. 

 

Set-up Rules for best experience:


1. Please turn on Minecraft Sound Effects. 
2. Please Lower Render distance to 5. (You may also have the Blindness effect placed on you for this event.) 
3. /Walk at all times. 
4. Please be respectful of @RoyalCrafter. 

 

Game Rules:

 

It will Last from RP Nightfall to RP Dawn. 

All participants are unable to sleep due to anxiety.

 

1. Explore the Keep with /walk.

 

2a. If you encounter the Ragman, You must "/roll (Your IG Age)".

 

2b. If you roll less than half your age, you must either stand "frozen by fear" or Flee to hide for a CRP round. You cannot do anything that CRP round.

 

2c. If you roll half your age or more, you stand up to the Ragman. If you win a full CRP round, the Ragman will flee. If you lose, the Ragman *may* make you disappear. 

 

3. A "Disappearance" will mean you are out of the game. (You've been hit, like dodgeball). Please RP having a nightmare, or SS out if you're bored. 

 

4. The Ragman will not encounter you if you are RPly hiding.

 

5. You have the option to leave the keep at any time. However, if all the children either disappear, refuse to come out of hiding or leave the keep, the Ragman "wins".

 

6. The Kids Kingdom wins if a single child is left standing after dawn RPly breaks.

 

After the Event:

 

This is an event with Minor RP consequences - those who disappear or experience fear are requested to RPly express those emotions outside the event for a couple of RP months/year after.

 

Thank you for participating in the event.

The young Alyona Godunov had been walking around Karosgrad for weeks with an enlarged sparrow mask to cover her rounded face, hiding her from disease and people alike. She had already heard tales of the Ragman brewing within her miniature court, the name itself bringing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand. "Yam gonna get vy, Raggersman..." She muttered ominously under the feathers, "Just vy wait and see..."

Lady Via Weiss, Knight Paramount of Hoonseti-Ruska has weapons produced in mass or more in particular, has her and her Knights preparing slingshots as they sit within the pillow fort of her bedroom. The sounds of snapping leather and laughter is heard, but despite the jubilance, they all knew what they were preparing for! The sleepover without sleep, as they prepared to wage war against the Ragman.
