"They say it started in a cave, after the earth shook and cracked open like a wound. Nobody knows how long it had been sleeping down there, trapped in the dark. Then, one unlucky fool—or maybe all of them—touched it, or breathed it in, and the Blooming woke. The roots dug into their flesh, the buds pushed through their skin, and they were still alive, still screaming, even as the flowers took control. That’s how it spreads, see? Not through death, but through life. You don’t get to fight it, only to run, to hide, and to hope you never brush against a thorn... or breathe a single speck of its pollen."

Or: It has been six months since the Blooming emerged from the cave. Much of the forest around the mountain is contaminated, and we have deployed armed guards to keep people away. We don't understand what is happening, how this devil works or how we can treat it. All those who has had confirmed infections have been executed and their bodies burned, but it is spreading faster than we can contain it. Many villages and great cities have already fallen. I can only pray that the ones who are too far gone aren't in pain. // Rootcutter Rowan of Awora.

Surprise, infection rpg in a fantasy setting without modern medicine. Good luck everybody!

Some of the characters:
Rowan, female human, rootcutter. A healer who specializes in removing infected limbs and burning them.
Myrdin, male elf, alchemist. Uses herbs, resins and pastes to try and choke out the infection. Experiments with using magic and potions to make a cure, this has been unsuccessful so far.
Myriani, infected, stage 4, Myrdin's sister. kept inside of a glass containment chamber and used for samples.
Hakrog, male dwarf, archivist. Keeps records of all known infected, is the one who wrote down all information about the Blooming.

Ghilanna, female elf, mad priestess. Believes the Blooming is a curse from the gods that requires sacrifice to remove, is considered insane by most. Tries to heal the sick through prayer.

Osmund the Sentinel, male human, commander of the quarantine marshals. Is in charge of securing Awora and making sure people follow the quarantine rules.
Alexej, male human, second in command. A close friend of Osmund's, trusts his leader with his life and will always follow him, even into death. (Doomed yaoi.)
Anael, non-binary elf, a lieutenant of the quarantine marshals. Has been acting odd lately, doesn't want to talk about it and keeps a brave face, but in the night some of their soldiers have heard them pacing and crying.
Thuzare, female dwarf, soldier in Anael's troop. This darrowdam is not afraid of the infected. In fact, she has an intense burning hatred for them, as she, along with all other dwarfs, had to shave her beard to be safe, as spores would be caught in the long hair.
Kílyn, male dragonborne, soldier in Anael's troop. Provides an aerial view of the city, has eyes on most houses all of the time. Was bitten by an infected, but has yet to display symptoms.

RP suggestions:

Msg 1: Healer; You are helping Rowan and Myrdin to halt the spread and find a cure to the Blooming.
Msg 2: Infected; You are in the early stages of infection and seek help, whether through Ghilanna or Rowan is up to you.
Msg 3: Immune; You were infected somehow (bite, prick, inhalation), but that was weeks ago now and you have not presented with a single symptom. Will you inform the healers of this, or will you try and hide to save yourself?
Msg 4: A follower of Ghilanna: You are a religious fanatic, believing 100% in your priestess' words, or perhaps you have begun defecting from her cult-like mentality?
Msg 5: Member of the quarantine marshals: Rank, infected or not, relationships are all up to you, go crazy!
Msg 6: Open scenario!
