PBEM intro

You live in a country at War!  The very long war between two nations has drug on for years and drained the towns and cities of their fighting men and women.  The smaller villages and hamlets are most impacted and many have no surviving garrison to speak of except the old and very young.  YOUR village is a minor exception since you have come of age.  With your strength and skill, you have been tapped for more than a few tasks of late, yet you feel something bigger is coming...  Over the past few months, your village has noticed the increasing rumors and wild stories of encroaching humanoids.  Vile creatures from stories used to frighten children have apparently sprung to life and have been spotted stealing sheep and livestock on the outskirts of the village proper.  So far, it has been just stories told around the tavern, but yesterday, a farmer was killed in the outlying fields by arrows.  Crude, black and red feathered arrows.  Not the work of fantasy...

You have been summoned by the resident captain of the watch with a proposition.  They need your help.  Can you investigate and determine who has committed this crime?  Was it fantasy or has the absence of warriors finally caught up to your village? Are the "creatures" finally seizing their opportunity to strike?  Why now?  Who are they?

(If you want to start solo, you can start your journey now)

(If you want to add other PC's, we will add this)
In addition to your services, the regional baron had sent a summons out across the land for help for the outlying villages.  A few have answered the call...  They sit in the room with you now. (Insert additional characters here)

Please begin at once.  We fear a direct attack on the village is inevitable unless you all can stop them and let them know that your village is NOT defenseless...
