Run From the Madness
(OOC note... there is nothing particularly graphic, but this game has some pretty dark gothic horror undertones so if that kind of stuff offends or is just not your thing back away now and head back to the much happier regular Sphinx threads!)
The Dusk Elves had been able to keep the serpents at bay since they moved into their swamps. The elvish vampire hunters were excellent and there was even a minor lineage of were-mongoose elves amongst their ranks specialized at ferreting out the serpentfolk, snake vampires and their blood minions. The problem was that in the end it was not the Serpents who invaded their village, burned their floating boardwalks and left their kin to slowly sink into the murky waters. The priestess of Nyarlathotep descended upon them with magic, madness and summoned tentacled fiends in a sudden explosion of murder and violence that could not have been planned for! The swamp dwelling elves were accustomed to strangeness living deep in the serpent swamps far from outsiders but the madness inducing demons and magic broke many minds and caused pure horrifying chaos... It was in the eye of the madness was the Priestess. She was not the cackling witch nor the lustful murderer. She was an instrument of murder and madness, moulding the world into a form more to the liking or her great and all powerfully consuming Elder god! These elves would serve her purpose twofold; first in the overwhelming madness of her attack rippling out causing elf to betray elf and then again when the survivors wetted the great and bloody god Nyarlathotep's basalt altar.

To enter this game you must post an image of a Sphinx you own with the phrase "Run from the Madness!" before this game begins at 18:00 PI time May 28th. Once the game begins (at 18:00) you must post in this thread at least once every half hour to stay in the game but you may of course post more often. (By every half hour I'm counting by the clock, not by your last post. So there must be one post between 1:00 and 1:30 and then another post between 1:31 and 2:00 etc...) Your posts may contain anything but totally feel free to RP or chat, (-8. The game may be interrupted by the priestess at any time with a minimum of once an hour but usually many more times than that.
This game will be interrupted at random by myself posting the image of The Priestess of Nyarlathotep. When this happens the game is stopped for the user with the post directly above the Priestess and that person has a choice to make.
1 - You may choose to help one of the other elves escape the Priestess' hunt. If you choose this noble option you will win the Dusk elf whom you helped (who will be determined at random from the list below) and you will be out of the game. EDIT: If we run out of elves to give away this will no longer be an option to choose!
2 - You may choose not to help the elf and continue to play the game... for now. Once this option has been chosen you are vulnerable and if you are ever the poster above the priestess again you are out of the game permanently AND you risk the Sphinx you entered with a saving throw!
Saving throw chart to resist the Priestess!
Roll a d20 (using the dice icon 1-20) and add your Sphinx's class level to the roll then apply that number to the chart below!
1-5 - Death!
6-10 - Something bad happens to your Sphinx! (there is a frightening list of badness... you were warned!).
11-19 - Your Sphinx is fine but you are still out of the game.
20+ - You are super lucky and may continue in the game again! You may only get this option once. If you are out a second time this number counts as 11-19.
The last survivor of the game will impress the Priestess and in her madness she will come to accept you and follow your orders... (the last player in the game wins the Priestess!)
One last OOC note... we are expecting some wild thunderstorms here tomorrow an in the unlikely case that we loose internet (just a fact of life way up north here) this game may have to be rescheduled.
