You awaken slowly, laying in the middle of a cold, hard stone floor … and realise that you have absolutely no idea where you are, how you got here, and who any of these people are.

Some of you may also be wondering who you are, too. Hm. That's probably concerning.

START: Pentagram Room

[idolpro]

There's something just a little creepy about this room. Maybe it's the amnesia? Or maybe it's got something to do with the huge chalk pentagram you woke up in the middle of. The pentagram is surrounded by a ring of twenty eight candles in black and gold banana-shaped candleholders. The flames send the shadows in the otherwise dark room dancing ominously.

There's a wooden door to the East. For now, it's locked; there's nothing you can do to make it budge.

[Where is he, why is he here, why is his memory spotty, the last thing he remembers is showing up in the human realm??????]

[There was a lot of flying debris, maybe he hit his head. Or hit it now????]

CHASM

[idolpro]

You enter a room split in two by a huge, jagged Chasm, spanned by the (very) rickety old remains of what (probably) used to be a wooden bridge. Do you have a head for heights and a daring heart? Because you might need both, if you're going to get across this.

Something chitters softly in the darkness way, way up above.

There's one door to the West side, and one to the East.

Anyone attempting to cross needs to roll 1D10.

[rugpull]

[ears perk, going to try to peer into the dark towards the noise]

Bats?

Re: CHASM

[thisismagrave]

[He looks above, trying to spot what the chittering is.]

[worldlyafflictions]

[Shima is glancing into the Chasm and deciding to try to summon Yamantaka. That's his demon familiar...]

UNDERGROUND LAKE

[idolpro]

You enter the Underground Lake! The water is cold and dark, and it's impossible to say where it comes from, or how deep it must be towards the middle. The only light comes from glowing iridescent moss growing up the cavern walls.

If you fell from the Chasm … congrats on the tremendous splash you just made! That might have hurt, though you'll be glad to know that you didn't break anything. Hopefully you can swim.

If you came down the stairs … welcome!

There is one door to the East.

Everyone entering this room must roll 1D6.

Re: UNDERGROUND LAKE

[worldlyafflictions]

[At least you get to skip trying to process that nothing is broken if you nearly inhale water and your body automatically tries to swim--spashing toward the shore oh my god]

[once he gets down here

grabbing a handful of moss]

BASEMENT LANDING

[idolpro]

You enter the Basement Landing.

There's not much here except … coal. Piles upon piles upon piles of coal, the floor caked in a thick coating of ash and soot. It's spectacularly filthy.

There are doors to the North, South, and West, and … a set of closed elevator doors? to the East.

Re: BASEMENT LANDING

[rugpull]

Ugh...

[hand over his nose]

Re: BASEMENT LANDING

[worldlyafflictions]

[Hears a little bit of noise to the North so he'll peek in there first]

CAVERNOUS STAIRCASE

[idolpro]

You enter the Cavernous Staircase, which seems to have been hewn from the very rock itself. They're incredibly steep, and unfortunately lacking in railings. You hear a steady, incessant, unceasing, disconcertingly echoing drip drip … drip drip … drip drip …

There are two exits: West down the stairs, or East at the top of the stairs.

Re: CAVERNOUS STAIRCASE

[worldlyafflictions]

[We are climbing silently to the top]

Re: CAVERNOUS STAIRCASE

[thisismagrave]

[Headed down here!]

So what's down here?

Re: CAVERNOUS STAIRCASE

[worldlyafflictions]

[Heading back upstairs to the office]

OFFICE

[idolpro]

You enter the Office. There is a desk strewn with stuff: a haphazard pile of notebooks, a few newspaper clippings, a half completed crossword puzzle, and a sudoku grid that was clearly filled in with pencil, failed spectacularly, and then erased to try again.

You'll also find a coffee mug filled with frigidly cold black coffee … and another one, almost empty. And another one, half full. And another one; two big gulps would've finished it off. A mostly full bag of gummy bears. A black robe flung over the back of the spinny office chair, with a pair of rubber gloves hanging out of the pocket.

Against one wall is a counter with a kettle, a pot of coffee grounds and a sink. Beneath the counter is a fridge.

There is one door.

Re: OFFICE

[worldlyafflictions]

[Alright, collecting the salve from the fridge, maybe checking the size (and smell) of the robe since his own clothes are still wet.]

Re: OFFICE

[rugpull]

[coming in here to wash up his wound

and also check the fridge. and grabbing the gummy bears]

Re: OFFICE

[worldlyafflictions]

[Well that went poorly]

All that 'n still no idea how ta get the elevator open...

STORE ROOM

[idolpro]

You enter the Store Room. It's kinda dusty in here, albeit nowhere near as bad as the Landing you just came from. And, honestly? Despite the name, there's not a whole lot in here. Sitting on top of three old wooden crates are three potted plants: a cactus, a tomato plant, and a short, thick blue stalk. The latter wiggles vaguely. Set into the back wall is a grand old mirror with an ornate golden frame.

The only door is the one you came through.

Re: STORE ROOM

[rugpull]

[goes to go look into the mirror and tap it

portal??? portal??????]

Re: STORE ROOM

[thisismagrave]

[Oh]

[He is approaching the plants to get a closer look at them.]

[He watches the blue one especially because plants can be Dangerous.]
