Lilis Amnesplora

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.

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.

[ So, everything about this is obviously rad, and sorry unitmates but his immediate reaction is to tense up hard and then scoot back. Eyes darting around the room, taking everything in.

—Everyone in, his attention snapping back to you. Mouth opens, then his gaze drops to the fact that you're in the same room he is, also inside the pentagram, and... ]

...So.

[ Hand pushing his hair out of his face, then going stock still again as he feels that his hair is kind of braided?? Wasn't expecting that, for some reason. ]

Don't suppose you know where we are, or how we got here?

[ Wei Wuxian is immediately on high alert once he comes to; confusion, aside. He resituates himself to try and get a better look at the symbol beneath himself, and whoever else happens to be present. He reaches out to tentatively what it's drawn with, momentarily relieved over any lack of blood. For now. ]

. . .No.

[ Slowly, he gets to his feet. The look and feel of his attire is particularly foreign, but right now it's the last of Wei Wuxian's concerns. ]

Underground, potentially. I don't recognize this array.

[ Yeah, it's just... a clue. He'll take any clues right now. ]

Array?

[ Instinctively counting the candles, for whatever reason. He's also going to tentatively step over the pentagram line. ]

Yeah.

[Assuming he’s not a cultivator, then. Hm.]

They’re formations drawn on the ground for the use of spell casting, rituals, and the like. A bit similar to a talisman, but on a much larger scale.

YOU EXPLO-

You're fine. Nothing happens.

Oh. Sure, that might as well be a thing.

[ Wetting his fingertips to put a candle out. ] [ SORRY WWX, he's definitely conversing with you while messing with the room. ]

The candle goes out, leaving the room just that bit dimmer than before ...

About five minutes later, completely unrelated to anything you might be doing: you hear a click as the door unlocks.

[ Wow, that's rude. ]

...uh-huh. Nicely ominous.

[ OVER HE GOES. > EXAMINE DOOR. ]

[?? Following suit!]

It's a solid wooden door, with nothing remarkable about it.

[ Another glance around the room, but then he's going to open the door. ]

Brace yourself, just in case.

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.

You open the door

[ Lupine immediately drops into a crouch, eyeing the bridge and the rest of the... 'room'.

Does the bridge lead to one door over the other? Or does it lead to a ledge that allows access to both doors? ]

The door you already came through is the one on the western side. The other door is on the East, and you'll have to cross the bridge to get there.

[ Thanks. ] [ Taps his bottom lip, eyeing the bridge. Rope and wooden planks? Maybe something he could disassemble?

Giving the rope an experimental tug. ]

You feel like, if you really put your back into it, you could yank the rope free.

Do you try? If so, roll 1D10.

[ cool, so,

]

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.

You YANK, and you TUG, and you PULL

And a two things happen at once: the rope snaps abruptly, leaving you unbalanced, and a giant vampire bat the size of a dog, its gruesome jaws held wide open, SWOOPS DOWN from the darkness and tackles you from behind, biting your shoulder.

You (and your clingy new bat friend) fall

[ man, he is very sorry to any and all people who might've tried to grab him,,,,

but he can definitely swim, so Lupine will be making his way out of the water. And uh somehow rolled a 6 on that, so. ]

Cool.

[ Squeezing water out of his hair. ]
