Gloom: BARiTONES

[idolpro]

[The old-fashioned writing desk in the center of the room carries several blank pieces of paper, a fine wooden pen, and a piece of parchment covered in writing. When you take a look, you find the following epigraph in a vibrant scrawl:]

Congratulations, future wordsmiths, and welcome to your first exercise in the creation of a true masterwork of tale-telling. This evening you'll be penning a terrific tragedy, starring the family of unsympathetic ne'er-do-wells provided to you.

Your goal? Why, to construct the best story your mind can conceive, of course - and make their lives as entertainingly miserable as possible before writing one of them directly into an early grave.

It would be best to assure our victory.

[ hmm ]

I cannot say I have a preference ... but I do wonder if playing all the cards on one individual would have a similar effect in real-world consequences?

Shall we test it? It seems that there is a suggestion that our poor handyman may get himself into a bit of trouble.

And I am a fan of miss Paloma's proposal in terms of the dear matriarch's fate.
