Hello, and welcome to the king's banquet. In this DMless adventure, I will give you a prompt below. Continue the story like normal DnD, except for one difference... Everyone has DM powers! Let's see how this goes. Continue from where the last person left off.
The king has invited you all to a banquet, which has just begun. There are people feasting and drinking, with goblins playing cards in one corner. There is gossip amongst the elves. Everyone is merry. And then, In the midst of the feast, this happens... (continue from here)
A garishly dressed young lady begins a dance as she twirls, dips & hops; she begins a tune humming at first then growing louder she begins to sing. The tune is well known and a couple of the elves nod at her performance and begin to accompany the song... everyone is quite caught up in the display.
whomever would like to continue feel free to do so.
(I feel like this will end up being too uncoordinated and chaotic. It's a cool idea though!)
The king stands up, and signals for silence. He then begins to speak. "Oh guests, it gladdens my heart that we could be together tonight. But unfortunately, I must spoil the merriment. Many of you may not believe what I am about to say, but you must know. A few hours ago, I was informed of some... strange disturbances near the coast. As this is my kingdom, I ordered for some investigations to be made. Some sheep had been found slaughtered, and the man who owned them was injured, and told a chilling tale of what had attacked him. It was a creature, lanky and fast, with blue scales and yellow eyes, and at the end of it's six limbs, there were thick, white claws, about 10 inches long." The kings sighs heavily. "This led me and my advisors to believe that, well, the Lurkers are back. We don't know what awoke them, but they are here."
People all around the room stand up, some shouting in denial, others agreeing with the king, and everyone frantically hoping that the king is wrong.
The Lurkers were essentially "devils of the sea" that appeared ages and ages ago. They were as described above, and about 8 feet tall. They would usually attack ships, but rarely came up onto dry land. The king at the time managed to muster a force strong enough to repel the creatures, and the kingdom had peace for a while. But generations later, they seem to have become braver, exiting the ocean, seeming to want revenge.

Love and joy can legit be found during the darkest and hardest of times. Don't forget that.
A rather large goblin jumps to his feet, "My lord this is not good, our warrens are currently along the coast we will be first in the kingdom to face the Lurkers. This is terrible news!" As the goblins make fast work of the remaining food near them they quickly and ungraciously leave the the feast hall. The elves in contrast sit waiting for more information... The beautiful dancer from earlier declares in a clear loud voice, "What the king has stated is true already our goblin allies will arrive to a devastating scene their alchemists are proving their strength but the numbers heading inland are staggering. I have searched the royal archives but could not uncover the events which repelled the Lurkers in times past, we must send a force to bolster our coastal allies while more direct methods of gathering information are attempted..."
The king’s royal guard quickly close in on this trouble maker, but with only a dinner knife in hand an elven diplomat charges the swordsman managing to slice the man’s ribs. He responds with a slice along his assailants leg the elf is pulled back by the guards but too late the scimitar wielder lunges slicing into the elf ending his life, “they have the pearl, the Lurkers won’t stop until it is returned. The elves mean to doom us all.”
The kings men pile on and take the man into custody.
The dark elf at the height of the chaos smiles revealing elongated canines, as the bloodshed begins his hunger overtakes him he quickly begins to feed. His minions see his indulgence and the room is quickly drained of life...
Meanwhile on the western coastal holdings of the Ohachwa goblins the lurkers are much like an army of ants piling up and ascending over the bodies of their own to get at the goblin cliff side warrens though many passages are too small for them they have effectively boxed in many clans and tribes. Many of the alchemical weapons the Ohachwa are renowned for would harm as much as help in these tight confines.
Dranixitchandor slumbers his drow vampire servant has done well delivering the Pearl of bottomless peace dooming the surface dwellers to face their doom from the sea. An age is near passing a new age of terror is beginning.
The immense chamber of this forgotten dracolich stirs with necrotic energies.
A farmer calls his farm hands and his sons in from the fields its been a long hot day. Saradie has a blanket spread by a large elm tree. Ham sandwiches cold spring water honey nuts berries and the first ripe tomatoes fresh from the garden. She looks at the men and her boys with genuine affection knowing how precious a day like this truly is.
He sees an empty courtyard, empty halls, slowly cautiously he finds a horrendous scene within the kings banquet chamber. The royal guard are all slain many have bite marks and appear drained of blood. The king is not here... and there are none of the goblin allies who were to be in attendance.

A slender man laughs in one corner. He draws a scimitar.

A dark elf stood up. "Elves doom us? ELVES DOOM US?!?! It's the HUMANS THAT DOOM US ALL!!! Them with their greed! Their want of POWER!"
Arguing broke out everywhere. Some blasted a warhorn, and people began fighting. Someone shot the king.

For some reason though she is unsettled.
