This thread is the forum RP linked to the story "A New Enemy Emerges". This is where all the RP will take place for the story while the original thread will be where the story will be written. Seeing as I am writing the story I will not take part in it ICly on what will be my other character. I will occasionally post OOC notes on here for certain things such as if the thread starts to die I will try to bring back from the brink. Well, have fun and try to solve the mystery before it's to late.

It's morning in Limsa Lominsa, the birds are singing and the ports lively with people, but something seems strange in the air. Something dark and ominous is stirring, many sensitive with magic would be able to feel it. As people walk the streets they can see soldiers on chocobos heading towards the outside of the city in a hurry, many begin to wander and many more worry of what might be happening. A herd of people head to the gates but are only to be sent back the other way by soldiers who will not let anyone pass without authorization until an all clear is given.
As the soldiers get to the destination they begin to keep people away, it seems like such a random spot with only a large boulder in the middle. A soldier, who appears to be the one in charge, calls over to a mage who was travelling with them and begins to speak with him and pointing at the boulder. The mage begins to study the boulder, his face writ with confusion. As a curious traveller passes by he seems to be able to make something out on the boulder, a magical rune seems to of been placed there as well as a message underneath.Â
A few hours pass and the all clear is given for people to safely pass in and out of the city gate. As people pass by the area with the boulder they can see that soldiers still have it under lock down. Mages appear to be trying to disenchant the rock but it is to no prevail. A little bit after the all clear a note was posted in the adventurers message board by a man who was able to see what the message on the rock was. It said....

*The god has risen, broken from his chains and torment. Rise brothers and sisters for the time has come. Bahamut beckons to us to follow and if we follow we will know greatness, if we follow we will know power, if we follow the world will be ours for the taking. Now rise and serve the one true god.*
A ship comes into port, it looks damaged, and it seems like half the crew is gone. When the port officials talk to the last of the crew they were told that they were attacked. It wasn't pirates or Garleans that attacked them, but a gigantic creature that was double the size of the boat. The crew said that the creature was long and lanky, that it wrapped itself around the boat and picked off the crew, one by one. The captain of the boat thought the creature just had its fill of the men of his boat and left, the only reason why they are still alive. The port officials did not believe them at first due to that ship only have gone 20 miles off and a ses creature of that size has never before been seen so close. As the investigation when on a rumor spread around town saying that the creature is being drawn closer to shore by the rune that mysteriously appeared. The investigation did turn up evidence of a creature attack and shut the case as solved.
Weeks go by since the incident with the ship and all seems peaceful until a man shows up in town. The man is dressed in all black robes, a strange symbol on his necklace. He walks to the center of town, near where many people gather and sets up a box. The man hops onto the box and begins yelling towards the crowds of people....
*The time has come brothers and sisters of Bahamut, we must rise to his call.
The one true god who showed us his wrath when he returned because of us worshiping false gods. He showed us his wrath but then showed us mercy by letting are existence continue, do you not see that he is giving us another chance. Do not squander this by worshiping such false idols, brothers and sisters, I beg you to do the smart thing and renounce them and serve the Lord Bahamut.*
The city of Limsa Lominsa goes on high alert and issues a curfew for everyone that is not a guard of official. After the explosion of the preacher, anyone found supporting, talking about, or spreading rumors are brought in for questioning. As the days go by people seem to be getting back to their regular schedules a group of five men appear at the city gate. The men are all wearing the same thing as the preacher and are immediately arrested with great care of course, they give no resistance. Their hands are bound and mouths gagged as the soldiers escort them back to a jail cell with magical properties. Hours pass by with no incident until the five men, still robed, are all seen walking out freely of the jail.

The man stayed there preaching for about an hour until soldiers came and began to take him away. As the man was being taken he smiled, a moment later a rune appears on his clothes and his body explodes, killing the few soldiers that came to take him away. The crowd of people go into a panic and begin to run around and scream. It takes a few hours for the army to take control of the situation. It appears this group may be more dangerous than even thought.

  As word spreads of the men going free, the streets get less and less crowded. Notes show up everywhere around town issued by the officials themselves saying how the five men are not here to cause harm. Citizens of Limsa are outraged that they would release them so quickly and decide that after what had just happened and some even find it suspicious. The men are seen talking to citizens that are either stupid enough or brave enough to get close to them, talking about how great Bahamut is, and how merciful he is. A lynch mob forms.....
  As the mob grows bigger and obviously more angry, soldiers are positioned to keep the mob in one place and try to calm the crowd down while others are stationed around the five men. As the day goes by the mob seems to begin to dissipate after a while and the streets become calm once more, it seems this city is becoming possibly one of the most dangerous cities to live in.

A news post was put up on the bulletin in the adventures guild as well as other guilds and shops about the murders of three robed cultists and that of a young child. It goes on to say that it appears the men were legally and harmlessly recruiting the child when a couple outsiders came and just started the massacre them, a trustworthy witness tells. We urge all citizens to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious and to report it immidently.
