Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-37629772-20181128093604

(This WWYD has some naughty words in it, so if you don't like that then...um you've been warned)

You are the sheriff for a monster friendly town called "Ghoul's gullet". The reasoning behind the name is that before the rise of the current demon lord a rather large tribe of ghouls lived here and hunted humans who ended up lost in the desert. However to think that news of a blood-thirsty tribe of man-eaters were to go unheard of would be rather foolish and even though they took their sweet time the order eventually sent what was basically a small army to purge the foul things. The battle from that day was bloody, savage and there was heavy casualties on both the ghouls and human side but eventually the order won. The order claims they killed every last one of the ghouls but rumor has it that a couple of ghouls managed to runaway and that the tribe ghouls are still out there, bigger and stronger than ever.

But you're not one for fairy tales. Right now the only thing you're thinking of is enjoying the ice cool shot of scotch you normally get from the town's tavern. "Howdy sheriff the usual?" said the bartender "yep" you casually say while getting out some cash "no need to pay sheriff, consider this thanks for dealing with those drunk onis last night" "oh you're too generous" you respond. While you're friendly to all the monsters who come to town, they do sometimes need to be reminded why you're the sheriff. You just sit and sip away until one of the town's folk come running into the bar obviously puffed out "sheriff *wheeze*" says the young lad "what's got you in a rush for?" you calmly say "there's *huff* been *puff* a grave robbery" he says trying to breath but having trouble doing so. You groan "alright what did the thiefs steal and who do you think would have a reason to steal it?" "No they didn't steal the valuables" he replys obviously having caught his breath "They stole the bodies!!!" "what?!" you say visibly confused.

When you arrive at the graveyard you see that alot of the town's people are there sort of checking the graves but when the person who brought you here shows the grave he wanted you to see, you're just in complete and udder shock. It's gone....the damn body is gone, the nails had been pulled out of the coffin but they only took the body. All the jewelry had been left and the clothes that were on the corpse were all shredded up and left in mess. "What the hell?" you quietly say "how many more have been stolen?" you ask the boy. He simply points to the horizon so you look in that direction only to see more defiled resting places.

There could be 20, 50 hell maybe even 70 missing bodies. "Is there any thing the stolen bodies had in common?" you say while questioning same of the town's folk and monsters "well all the graves that had their bodies stolen from them belonged to the human ladies of the town" responds a young lamia. You then notice human foot prints and sometimes hand prints on the floor near the graves. At one of the burials there's just one set of tracks but with each empty grave it passes it seems another set appears out of nowhere. You also notice that once the tracks pass all the robbed graves they seem to head for and go down "Dead man's walk". The path got it's name because apparently the "still active" ghoul tribe captures anyone who is dumb to walk and human men who go down there are never seen again. You think it's all some bullshit fib made up by bandits in order to cover their tracks.

"What are we going to do?" speaks up an older lady visibly saddened by the events. One of the graves must have belonged to someone important to her. "Not what we're going to do, it's what I'm going to do" everyone around you shifts their attention to you as you say this. "I'm going down that path and I'm gonna find who's responsible for this" everyone gasps. You then start to make your way to your horse to start packing for the long trip ahead "but sheriff people who go down their don't come back, especially human men" says a lizardlady who followed you from the graveyard. "You think I believe all that crap?" you respond with a sort of assertive tone "look if I don't go and put and stop

the sick bastards who did this, what makes you think they won't come back and do it again?" "I-um" she replys using an unsure voice. You interrupt "don't worry about me, I wasn't given the title of town sheriff for being bottle fed all my life, besides since when have you met a person who could handle themselves better than me?" "*sigh* I guess you're right" she reluctantly said "just promise me and the town you'll come, you're one of the best sheriffs we've had in along time and we'd hate to lose you". "*Chuckle* I promise" you respond.

As you get on your horse and start to leave the entire town comes to you to say goodbye. After all that's said and done you make your way down the path to follow the tracks. Boy it has been quite the journey so far. You have been following the tracks for a couple days now and some very eventful things have happened during those days. A gang of bandits tried to jump and kill you, they're buzzard food now. Some wild lamias tried to trick you with the classic "I pretend to be a human girl but I'm really not" gimmick, yeah sorry ladies but you're not that dumb. A group of mummies tried to kidnap you and bring you back to their ruins, all you had to do was tickle them to evade capture. A sandworm tried to swallow you up, luckily you got to solid ground in time. A Girtabilu tried to sneak up on you, however this wasn't your first rodeo with that type of monster but eventually your travels lead you to the entrance of a cave.

"Nothing like a deep, dark cave to give yourself reassurance" you say to yourself as grab a oil lamp from the bag on your horse. After you light it you then start to make your way down into the cold, black abyss that the cave is. The first half of the trek through the cave was pretty uneventful but then you start to feel shaking coming from ground as you see rocks and pebbles falling from the ceiling. "oh shit!" you say quietly as stalactites fall just meters away from you "CAVE IN!!" you yell. Just as you finish that sentence you see a light at the end of cave in opposite direction of where entered. "OH THANK THE CHIEF GOD!!!" you shout while booking to the salvation of light in front of you. "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck FACK!!!!" you scream at the top of your lungs as you just make it before your exit is quickly covered by giant boulders. "Holy fuck" You say exhausted and shaken from the experience. You then start getting up, having fallen after getting out of the cave only to hear a noise to that makes your head towards it. The sight you see is something so amazing that it leaves you speechless and makes your jaw drop.

Build into the side of the canyon the cave lead to is basically a small city. That is filled to the brim with ghouls doing all sorts of different things like doing each other's hair, mining for materiels like jewels with their bare hands, building new houses using mud, there are even hospital with doctors and all that. It's true...the legends are true, the tribe still lives on and it's even stronger than before. Then you remember how when you were younger a couple of your friends told you that with the new demon lord in charge, ghouls picked up a new hobby. They would dig up the graves of human women and pour some of their demonic energy into the body which in turn makes it into a ghoul. It all makes sense now, the graves, the tracks, it's all because some ghoul must have snuck into town the night before the bodies were stolen and turned them into more ghouls so they could have them join and expand the tribe.

However you are pulled away from both your thoughts and the view of the city infront of you by some pained whimpers back near the cave you came out of. You turn your head back to the blocked cave only to see a werebat with her eyes closed and her left leg covered by some large rocks. "Shit she must have lived in the cave before it collapsed" You think to yourself. After that's done you rush over to her and immediately start removing the rock from her legs and checking if she is hurt. There's no major damage to done to her leg except for a few bruises and scratches that were minor at most. She then suddenly starts to open her eyes as well as get up. Once she's on her feet and starts seeing the world around her she sort of jumps to you and then hugs you tightly while cowering in fear. "Madame please get off me" you say to the werebat while you try to gently push her off yourself but instead she ignores you and hugs even tighter. "lady please let go of me, lady get off me, lady, are you even listening to me?" you say getting increasingly annoyed by the clingy girl before you snap and yell "GET OFF OF ME WOMAN!!!"

The werebat seems suprised by your anger and become visibly upset which makes you feel bad for yelling but now not the time to say sorry because as your echoing voice finishes repeating through out the canyon, you hear several confused grunts coming from from the direction of ghoul city. The site you see when you look back to it makes your heart sink deep into your chest. All of the ghouls have stopped what they are doing and have shifted their attention towards you, some are even licking their lips. You just stand there frozen no longer trying to get the werebat off of you. Infact you actually put your arm around the girl for some reason, maybe to get some comfort for how badly you messed up. You poked the hornet's nest and it was only a matter of time before the pissed off buggers take flight.Your hand slowly makes it's way towards your revolver only to find nothing where you normally put it. This causes you to then frantically search your waist for it which yields no results but then it hits you. You. Fucking. Dropped. It. While. Running. Through. The. Cave. You try to say something but all you can muster up is a nervous "umm" Which is then interrupted by a ghoul that yells as loud as possible "FIRST ONE TO CATCH HIM, KEEPS HIM!!!" After she says that all the ghoul that were looking at you rush down the side of the canyon making an obvious beeline directly towards you.

WWYD?
