Story Arcs

A story arc is a collection of roleplay scenes that form part of the same ongoing storyline, event or chapter within Grimwych.

The Roleplay Archive keeps scenes in chronological order. Story Arcs group scenes by narrative thread, allowing readers to follow a particular storyline from its beginning.

A roleplay may belong to more than one arc, and not every archived roleplay needs to be included in one.

Chapter 1: Welcome to Grimwych

This chapter follows characters' first experiences of Grimwych: arriving somewhere unfamiliar, exploring the village, meeting its other inhabitants and beginning to understand the strange circumstances in which they have found themselves.

This revelation prompts a chaotic vote in which the majority agrees the possibility should be investigated further. Morgane schedules another meeting to elect a chairperson and discuss how a potential sacrifice might be chosen, with Lucian volunteering to anonymously collect everyone's suggestions.

Mini Arc: Raccoon Mayhem

After the death of their farmhouse friend for stew, the raccoons of Grimwych are up to retaliatory malicious mischief. Travelers might find their belongings stolen or ramsacked, their things destroyed, and might even be attacked, though it's unlikely. Most recently they have stolen all of the loose papers from the post office, which may contain the instructions to decode the cryptic messages spit out by the Morse Code machine.

If you would like to be involved: The pages have been scattered around Grimwych. If you would like to find one, just RP it. All of the decoding instructions except the letters PQR are still out there, as well as random snippets and letters.

Involved Characters: Spizzzo, Lilith Axeas, Lettie, Desiree, Emmeline Hildebrandt, Rory St. James
