You wake up. You're in a dark room with a number of other people, you can't tell how many exactly. There isn't much here except for a bunch of small chests, each with a name on. One is yours. You crawl to the chest and open it. Inside is a selection of small items- a lead pipe, a first aid bag, a flashlight, some sort of toolkit. And a note, which you presently unfold and read; "Take one of these items and put on the clothes in the bottom of this chest. don't question your situation, and go through the door when it opens, and you will be safe." Underneath, in a small, barely legible script, are the words 'death is not an escape." The large metal door on the other end of the room creaks open as you get dressed and select your item. Once everybody is ready, the door slams open, and you all walk out into the knight air. A little voice whispers in your mind, telling you all is not well here. As you look out of the small town in front of you, the doors slam behind you.
As your little group makes its way towards the town, the words on the note keep entering your mind.
Death is not an escape.
Death Is Not An Escape is a Survival Horror Arena Roleplay (SHAR) thread where a group of players and NPCs attempt to survive a prowling killer in a twisted game known as a trial. Run by cultists worshiping a mysterious Entity, the trials can be escaped by powering generators to open the gates at either end of the map.
THE TURN SYSTEM + CHASES
Outside of RP, each survivor and the killer take a turn. They can move up to 18 meters and vault over any downed pallets and widows that are in their way, and perform up to three actions. These include unhooking survivors, starting generator repair, and self-healing. (If Ya’ll don’t like this system I can scrap it)
If a killer finds a survivor, a chase usually commences. The survivor and killer can move up to their speed times 3, killers can attack survivors (when they get close enough) and survivors can drop pallets on their pursuer. If a survivor takes enough damage to reduce them to half-health, they fall to the ground, and the killer can pick them up and carry them to a hook to sacrifice them.
PLAYERS:
Jester/Demonslayer
Dragontamer
Monks
Himy
Plat
Pug
Tarasque
Bananer
Nearly forgot. d10's are what most killers use as damage dice.
Your characters do not know the presence of the killers (controlled by yours truly), and for the first part of the game, act like it.
Ormond is a small, high-altitude town. Most of the map is made up of a housing district, with some fields and a stately home in the west. the whole place is covered in snow.

If I get in, I'd like some spidey-sense(spine-chilling feeling) and metal-pipe-jitsu, please.
Btw for spine-chilling feeling, does it mean that you have to roll higher than a six (7+) or that you have to roll a six or higher (6+)?
