In Character - Game Thread

You are travellers on a road trip in eastern Finnish countryside in late august. The sun is setting and you are in the middle of nowhere nearby a swamp and forest when your car starts acting up. You see adds for a log cabin camping site near the road. The adds seem dated and when you pull your car over the side road and walk the rest of the way you see that the camping site is even more so. Crumbling, rusty, dated, old and probably built around the 80’s. It’s quiet but gladly you see a lantern lit up on a porch of a small barrack. On the porch there is a kiosk counter with dated ice cream adds and next to it a carved wooden bear statue that holds a sign: "Iilves Camping - Reception". 


Okay, you have pulled your rental car on the small dirtroad leading to an old log hut renting camping ground. The walk from your car was about 500 meters through the forest. You arrive at the log hut village through an old wooden gate that's open. At first glance it seems abandoned but then you see a lantern lit up on a porch of a small building. You see old ice cream adds and a carved bear holding a sign: "Iilves Camping - Reception".@Dr_B @Rabbits @Dsquid @Drakis2

You see at least 5 cabins in a circular formation. Some of them are falling a part (missing a piece of roof etc). Some seem like they are in working condition.

The weather is cloudy but otherwise okay, a bit breezy but that is to be expected as the autumn is starting. The leafs of th forest trees that surround the log cabins are yellow and orange, some trees have already dropped their leafs. Pine trees are dark green though, rising higher in the midst of the leafy ones.

It's pretty dark already and you've been sitting in the car for at least 2 - 3 hours. You have no service in your phones and are quite lost.

On the other side of the clearing theres a path that leads further to the forest. Down the path you see a lean young man (boy?) of maybe 15 - 20 years approaching. He seems to notice you and stops. He has messy tangled black bush of hair and he seems to be wearing a dark jogging jacket with white stripes and baggy jeans. In his right hand he carries something that seems to be a dead crow, hanging it from the neck. On his other hand there seems to be a knife.

The boy just freezes and takes a few steps back when you call him. The knife seems bloody but it's hard to tell from this distance.

Just as Dalvin is turning away the door opens behind him and you hear a man's voice (in Finnish):

Evening.... may I help you? Welcome.... to Iilves Camping

and then in struggling English: Me help you?

The speech is withered and creeky as if the man hasn't talked much of late. Also he reeks: you feel a penetrating body odor of sweat, piss, alcohol and something else.

He is wearing a simple gray shirt and greenish cargo pants.
