(To make up for the Complete Failure of Canal Hotel, I'll try harder on this one.)

It's said that, no matter where you live, there is an area where spirits go to wait for the transition into the afterlife. This could simply be a Mortuary, or a small clearing in a forest, or even a simple cabin. These places are usually considered 'haunted' and are never visited by the wise. One of the most famous 'Haunted' places of our time is Bonhous Castle.

Bonhous Castle was named after the family that owned the estate hundreds of years ago, the Bonhous. Most of the architecture has stayed in place through the years, however if one were to look hard you could easily find a way through the walls and into the castle that was sealed up, so long ago, for a great reason.

Although many historians and distant relatives of the Bonhous family (All of those who hold the clear bloodline have died, the last being a man who died in Piracy not a decade ago.) state otherwise, as most sane men would, the castle obviously holds some sort of ominous presence, Perhaps because of the location of the castle, so high in the hills of Scotland, that it blots out the moonlight to those standing on the opposite end, bringing complete and utter darkness at night.

However, the true reason the Castle has gained such a following, and the reason that it was closed and forbidden for entrance, is because of the so-called Ivan's Specter.

The 'Specter' got it's name from one of the most famous residences of Bonhous castle, Ivan Bonhous. Although there are many different stories about the boy, no matter which side you were on, Ivan was always known for his violent and often hateful demener.

Ivan Bonhous was a Knight, one of the last of the era of Chivalry, and he was proud to be so. Even though it became more and more apparent his age would die out to the oncoming inventions of Gunpowder and cheaper weaponry, Ivan stood by his tradition, riding into battle with the best of his men, showing no mercy to the world, often declaring and winning wars with vigor.

However, at the fall of the 15th century, Ivan Bonhous went missing. Most reports speculate he was assassinated, perhaps even killed in a skirmish. The Bonhous family sticks to their own theory, the current one that is kept; that he simply killed himself from the guilt of the evil he committed in his life. However, no body was ever found, and nothing ever came of the disappearance except for the end of his violent reign.

He was pronounced Dead on the Thirty-first day of October. Searches stopped, and the Bonhous family went on with their lives, perhaps a little happier that their reputation for hate was diminished.

But, multiple years later, on the same day they discontinued the search, Ivan Bonhouse's little sister died from an unknown assailant, taking multiple axe blows to the head. The weapon was found in a nearby haystack, the blade covered in the young woman's blood and rust. There was only one witness, a servant who heard the desperate cries of Mary Bonhous and rushed to her aid. He swore he saw a man, in full knights armor, fleeing from the site, the clanking of the plates echoing through the night.

Immediately, Ivan Bonhous was the suspect. However, no other witnesses were found and there were no leads to where he could have went, even though the 'Clanking of the plates' the servant had said would have given him up. He was charged for murder and lying to the family, and, without a fair trial, was hung.

Multiple decades later, another murder was commited. It was terribly similar to the one commited against Mary Bonhous, however the weapon had changed from a small axe to a large, Morning-star club. The weapon was found nearby, and the only witness reported the same clanking of plates.

Every few years after these events, a murder has been commited, always on All-Hallows eve and always with the same details, even years after Ivan would have died. Eventually, the Bonhous family moved out of the estate and closed it to all visitors. It has been like this to this day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today marks the Thirty-First of October, during the year of 1768. You and your acquaintances, after a good deal of drink, decide to go to the accursed Bonhous Castle. You find a small hole, just big enough to squeeze through, in the side of the wall. As soon as you enter, it comes to your attention that the inside of the castle is lower than the outside, and that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to get back out that way. The feeling of the night changes from jokingly to terror in an instant.

Your friends, the cowards they are, immediately break away from you. You are unable to follow them and they quickly break out of your sight. Your rage quickly recedes when you notice the sound of plates clacking.


RULES

Basic rules apply.

The object of the Role-play is to survive Halloween inside the Bonhous estate.

Although making horror in a text- based role-play is difficult, I'll try.

To get a role-play, please post here and ask for one. I will make one and post the link. THE FIRST POST YOU MAKE WILL BE YOUR CHARACTER PARAGRAPH. REMEMBER THIS.

This role-play uses a unique 'Achievement' system, like a few of my earlier, successful role-plays. Although the basic point of the role-play is to survive Halloween at the Bonhous Castle, there are many more secrets to find. This is to keep people from simply find a nice, cozy place to hide in and doing nothing. I'm not saying that it's against the rules to do that, I'm just saying you will have a lot more fun, and get a lot more of the story in, if you explore (And you may just find out EXACTLY what happened to Ivan Bonhous.)

DO NOT FORGET THE CHARACTER PARAGRAPH! SAY YOUR CHARACTER, GENDER, THE SUCH!




ACHIEVMENTS

The achievement system is based on a number system; An achievement with number 3 in front of it is an achievement that is really not something you want to get, more of a mark of a mistake.

An achievement at level Two is a common one that you can pat yourself of the back for achieving.

An achievement at level One is something you want to work for, this includes escaping the estate or surviving the full night inside.

An achievement at level 0 is something only the best of the best will find, something you should truly be proud of.



Level 3

hur, i cannot read: Fail to do what I asked in the OP.

Game over: Die by Ivan's specter (Any way counts.)

But the game hasn't even started!: Die by anything but Ivan's specter (if it was caused indirectly by the specter, you get Game Over instead.)

It was an accident!: Kill Gart, Harrin, or Bartholomew. (If they attacked first, you get 'I thought we were friends?')

Who's the bad guy here?!: Kill Gart, Harrin, AND Bartholomew. (Even if it was in self defense every time, you get this.)

Oops?: Accidently ignite the powder stores (It does not matter if you die.)

And you weren't carrying fifty pounds of armor!: Fail to outrun Ivan's specter in any chase, random or story driven (It does not matter if you die.)

He cheated!: Fail to Defeat Ivan's Specter in combat (it does not matter if you die.)

Checkmate: Fail to finish the Chess game before the door is broken (It does not matter if you die.)

And may the odds be ever in your favor: Fail to complete the Ranger puzzle in time.(This cannot be won with 'Lucky Shot!')


Level 2

Closets are fun!: Successfully hide from Ivan's specter (It doesn't have to be in a closet.)

Hey, that's my gun!: Find Gart alive.

Why is the woman more brave than us?: Find Harrin alive.

Real noble, man: Find Bartholomew alive

Hey, I thought we were friends?: Kill Gart, Harrin, or Bartholomew in self-defense.

This was a bad idea: Take on Ivan's Specter in combat and win.

You're too slow!: Successfully escape from Ivan's specter on foot (You cannot hide or fight him in any way to get this.)

Push and Shove: Find the secret door with the help of a friend.

POW!: Shoot Ivan's specter.

My Little Pony: Find the lone horse

Lucky Shot!: Beat the Ranger puzzle without using the bow. (You will still lose, but you get this and you will survive no matter what.)


Level 1

A bad thing to say: Deface the painting in the Master Bedroom and still escape.

It's an expensive commodity: Never run out of lamp oil (It does not matter if you refill it with outside sources.)

Boogeyman: Stay in complete darkness for an hour or more. (Only possible underground or during the Shading. Very dangerous.)

Da Vinci would be proud: Find the Inventor's room

I'm never going back there!: Escape from Bonhous castle alive (It does not matter when, or who is with you.)

Quiet as a Mouse: Survive the night inside Bonhous Castle (You win when the sun comes up.)

Better than Nothing: Win in any way with one other person (Escape, Surviving the night, et cetera. The person has to be with you to win.)

Good odds: Win in any way with two other people ( ^ )

It's gross down here!: Find both secret dungeons.

That works too!: Defeat Ivan's Specter without a weapon (Only possible at one point, don't try it otherwise.)

Grim Reaper: Harvest all the grain near the Estate graveyard.

Princess and the Pea: Find the secret room with the help of TWO friends.

A bad man: Find the odd corpse

Mary's Specter: Find the grave of Mary Bonhous


Level 0 (AKA secret endings and the such.)

Is this what they call a 'Troll'?: Find out why no one walks across the bridge.

It was the butler!: Find out what really happened to Ivan Bonhous (This is impossible without a previous achievement.)

Knights of the Round Table: Escape with all three people (Any of the good endings work, impossible without a previous achievement.)

Legacy: Secret ending (Impossible without previous achievement, arguably the worst ending in the role-play.)

Finally Home: Secret ending (Impossible without previous achievement)

Closure: Secret ending (Impossible without previous achievement, arguably the best ending in the role-play.)

Huh, I figured an Amnesia-type role-play would get a ton of joiners. Guess not.

(Well, you were supposed to just ask for a roleplay here and put that as your first post. Also, I highly doubt that 'blue jeans' and 'black jacket' are what people in the 18th century wear.)

Adam Zorrow is a young male, at the age of twenty-seven. He has an average sized body. His hair is dark and unkept, along with his full beard. His eyes are a very deep and dark brown colour. He is always looking around, trying to find something interesting to him. Bonhous Castle was a good puzzle for him to solve. Something dark, something interesting, something exciting. The first thing people tend to notice about Adam is the fact that he walks with a cane. The cane has a hooked handle and is made of mahogany. He holds it in his right hand and keeps it in time with the steps from his left leg. He wears very casual clothes, and is currently wearing a dark grey t-shirt, and a black coat, along with a pair of dark blue jeans.

My name is Alexander Valentine. I am a tall man, fairly skinny. I wear a suit. I'm 26, and find myself often in horror situations. I am a mortician, and so death is simply trivia to me. I have always found myself interested in the idea of bringing people back to life, and the Bonhous specter seemed a good thing to research. I usually keep a book with me, usually I write in it as a journal, as I am for this expedition. I also have a good internal idea of time, but I'm usually not under stress which may effect it.

Perhaps.

All three of the secret endings reveal something very important about the backstory of Ivan. I consider the best and the worst ones to be the most explanatory.

because "Legacy" sounds really cool.
I bet
that it ends that you become Ivan
and carry on for eternity protecting
HIS SPECTER.

probably not though.

My name is Felix Sage. I have a strong-built body, quite muscular. My skin is a light tan color, almost similar to the color peach. I have wavy black hair that sticks out, making me look quite handsome, obviously. I wear a brown leather coat, protecting me from extreme cold. And my gender? A male, of course. My eye is the color of brown. I have a small scar on my left cheek. I was suspicious about the case of the murders, so I dared myself to go to the castle and find out who the murderer is. I'm a daredevil sometimes, so that's why I dared myself to go and investigate.

(Hopefully this character paragraph satisfies you more.)
