[ There is one sentence in the rules when you wake up. ]

Escape the mansion and bring evidence of the one responsible for this incident, or die trying.

[ For as long as the game is running, idols will only be able to access the rules on their phones. They may not text/call, nor may they take pictures.

Unit abilities are off. Items are off. Each idol can hold up to 3 items at a time maximum. ]

1 - BASEMENT

[idolpro]

[ The room's stench is the first thing you notice upon waking up: it's an unpleasant mix of incense, smoke, and metal. Although the room is poorly lit, the light from the hanging wall lamps show that the room is quite big . . . and quite crowded.

Not with living people, of course. You find yourselves surrounded by corpses, mutilated beyond recognition. Vaguely humanoid shapes and limbs indicate these used to be humans—probably. . . ?

The metal smell is more easily identifiable as blood, now—though even if you could not make the connection, the floor is sticky with pools and rivers of red, so it's quite easy to tell that these—people?—met their end right here.

Yet, you won't find even a drop of blood on yourself, or even near your body. In fact, the carnage is absent on both your clothes as well as the ground immediately surrounding you, which is just as well because the blood would have otherwise obfuscated the white-chalked summoning circle that surrounds the idols.

You're situated in the center of the room.
Against the north wall is a table, where there are two oil lamps and a number of other things, though you'll have to get closer to really inspect them.
Against the east wall is a running fountain pool of sorts—the stench of blood is strongest here.
Against the south wall is a large portrait, though without coming closer, you can't make out who those people in the portrait are.
Against the west wall is a closed wooden door. ]

STARTING EVENT

[idolpro]

It seems your arrival was not entirely without injury, however: Gwendolyn will find themself situated in the very center of the summoning circle, atop of various sharp implements—the murder weapons, perhaps?

While the idol can safely extricate themself for the most part, there's no avoiding the sharp blade that scrapes their shoulderblade. The injury itself is negligible, both in deepness of wound and depth of pain, for it's strangely rather numbing . . . for now.

As time progresses, the idol will begin to exhibit the following symptoms:

• Weakness/numbing of limbs
  
• Fever/chills
  
• Dizziness/mind fog
  
• Difficulty moving or staying awake, sluggishness

[ that really sucks but she's honestly more concerned with the uhhh

EVERYTHING ELSE? ]

This is...

[ holy shit ]

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[warpweft]

Hum.

[Holding her nose.]

Unpleasant.

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[likeamace]

I guess we need to figure out what happened, so-- should we split up or move as a group?

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[sangreine]

[ Aliza doubles over the instant they appear in here, eyes flaring a glowing red. Being surrounded by blood is not the best thing for her temperament, so she clamps a hand over her mouth to try and steady herself. ]

[ She starts shrinking back from the east wall, almost resting her back against the closed door before pausing and deciding that's possibly a bad idea. ]

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[warpweft]

[Wicked Witch looks over at her.]

Are you going to be alright?

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[likeamace]

We'll get out of this room as soon as we can, but - I want to make sure we don't miss anything in here first. Will you be okay?

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[alternativefacts]

[ She's nursing the wound on her shoulder, but stands near enough Alizarin to speak with her: ]

Is it the sight or the smell? We can probably figure something out to make it easier to deal with until we get out of here.

!!!

[idolpro]

A sudden howl reverberates through the whole building, but especially in the room; the sound is so loud and piercing it feels like ice picks on your eardrums.

Gwendolyn and everyone who does not cover their ears now exhibit the following symptoms:

• Ruptured eardrum(s), icepick-like pain
  
• Dizziness
  
• Partial to complete deafness

Re: !!!

[warpweft]

[IMMEDIATELY COVERING HER EARS.]

Ow. Good lord. Why. Stop that.

!!!

[idolpro]

The ground begins to shake violently, and blocks of stone that make up the ceiling slip out of their place.

Gwendolyn and anyone who's not vigilant will find themselves the unfortunate beneficiaries of rocks falling from the ceiling, and will exhibit the following symptoms:

• Bleeding
  
• Dizziness
  
• Blunt force trauma (not fatal)
  
• Limb/joint injury

2 - CORRIDOR

[idolpro]

[ Having escaped the basement, you ascend the stairs, and ascend them, and ascend them . . . endlessly, they go on, spiraling up until you reach a room.

No, it's more accurate to call it a corridor, for the room is simply the joining point for three other hallways and another door. Each hallway is adorned with glistening jewels and metals: the leftmost hallway has gold lining, while the middle hallway is adorned with silver and the right hallway has a copper-like bronze plating its walls.

Hanging from the closed door is a plaque, with strange markings etched into it:




You also can turn back around and go back down. ]

Re: 2 - CORRIDOR

[likeamace]

Resist bewamp foli!w?

Re: 2 - CORRIDOR

[alternativefacts]

[ staring at the plaque, very unsteady on her feet. ]

A cipher. Three lines, three hallways. Each line must be one word that pertains to a given hallway, then?

Re: 2 - CORRIDOR

[warpweft]

Hmn.

[Wicked Witch tries the door, first.]

!!!

[idolpro]

It seems the door was also, uhhhh, how do we put it . . . electrified?

Yes, that's the right word. Wicked Witch and those standing too close to her will find themselves briefly but painfuly shocked, exhibiting the following symptoms:

• Hand ouchie (mild burn)
  
• Branch-like scars in the areas of pain
  
• Muscle spasms
  
• Difficulty breathing

!!!

[idolpro]

The ground begins to shake violently, and blocks of stone that make up the ceiling slip out of their place.

Alizarin and anyone who's not vigilant will find themselves the unfortunate beneficiaries of rocks falling from the ceiling, and will exhibit the following symptoms:

• Bleeding
  
• Dizziness
  
• Blunt force trauma (not fatal)
  
• Limb/joint injury

!!!

[idolpro]

The ground shakes violently again—although this time nothing lands on anyone, the staircase leading back down completely collapses. It seems you can only go forward, now.

!!!

[idolpro]

Once more the ground shakes—is this place going to collapse?—and one of the barrels of incense knocks down, spilling the substance everywhere and carrying the aroma with it.

Gwendolyn and anyone who breathes in the incense will find themselves exhibiting the following symptoms:

• More suggestible/naive, less doubtful
  
• Drowsy
  
• Optimistic!!! and generally feeling inebriated
  
• Inability to focus
  
• Insatiable hunger for human flesh

...

[idolpro]

[ You receive a message on your phones.

Choose two to save.

There's a dropdown of the people in this room. It seems. . . you can at least choose two of you to avoid the worst happening.

Who will it be? ]

Re: ...

[sangreine]

[ She chooses.... Sable and Gwendolyn! They didn't fight her so she should reward them! ]

[ Bring it! ]

END

[idolpro]

[ Sable and Gwendolyn will find themselves teleported away from the mansion. They've been saved—!

. . . Oh, wait.

Hm. ]

Re: END

[likeamace]

[ good end ]
