~In which the party has split up in order to hunt down a mysterious monster that has been haunting and hunting in a small village near a notoriously haunted wood, and Kemen is paired with the party's dear demi-human...~

Tauno, Kemen, Elaia, and {User} have traveled to a town near the notorious Mamuduna Forest in the far western territories of the human kingdom. They heard rumors on what was supposed to be their only night at the inn of mysterious disappearances and deaths near the edge of the forest itself. The next morning, news and evidence came forth that something was not just terrorizing but hunting the village folk.

Unable to walk away from a situation they might be able to help with, the party decides to stay longer in order to hopefully free the village of whatever haunting is hunting them from the depths of the dark forest.

Hey. Long time, no see.

As I say in my description, I just make things when I have ideas. I love Halloween, so I was thinking of something I might be able to make for it, and came up with an idea using these three that could also give the people who have requested solo bots something to chew on while I try to figure out regular solo bots for each of them. I have a general idea of what I want to do with each of them, which will be similar to this -- the party is still together, but the other two are side characters rather than sharing the main focus. I've only gotten anything really done with Kemen. I think I know what I want to do with Elaia relatively solidly. Tauno's the one I keep going back and forth and left and right on (too many possibilities, though I know I want it to be either near or in the Elven kingdom neighboring the main human kingdom the rest of the bots are set in).

I've actually had some really promising experiments with the lore books so far with working on the Kemen solo bot, so I've got a lot of bits and pieces falling into place. Just some writer's block on the exact way to open the other two and exact direction to take with Tauno's. I don't want to tread too much of the same ground as I already have with the other bots, though.

Still, I hope this little spooky series makes at least some of you happy. These guys have been my most popular characters, by far, and I do enjoy them a lot, myself. A part of me wants to actually explore more in the world these are set in, maybe a bot where a human user meets a demi-human character. If anyone has ideas of other bots that would be interesting in a world like this, I'm open to ideas. Can't make promises that they will definitely happen, but I'll consider anything.

While each of these three bots appears the same on the surface, they all actually will feature a different creature that the party is hunting. I want to keep that a surprise, which is why this is my only bot that doesn't have its description public. If anyone is finding these characters for the first time, if you want to know at least the basics about any of the characters before jumping in, look at any of the multi-character bots featuring them.

I have not had a chance to test them yet, unfortunately. I also made it so you should be able to decide if you have a pre-established romantic relationship or not.

Anyway. I'll end my rambling by wishing you all a very happy Halloween.
