...we came in?

POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS


[There's no doubt that those who wake up will vaguely remember a dream.

In that dream, at least for most people, there are two figures, informing them each that they had a Title. With that title came a power. More than that, they were being given rooms, as if they were meant to stay in the dark and gloomy place where their dreams placed them. The Strangers might have found this to be a ridiculous proposition. Unless they have been through this before, then were probably not surprised in the least.

All of this, of course, ended with a sense of inexplicable dread for everyone. Especially when they woke up to find themselves in long, thin, cramped rooms, with only candlelight to give them any illumination.

Yes. Unfortunately, that dream had not been a dream at all, much as you might have hoped. You are here, now, inside an old, decrepit house where you have been given what appears to be a permanent residency. While you apparently have a power to aid you, it's no comfort. You have no option to leave, you have no way to escape, and the rules hammered to your door doesn't help the creeping sense of doom pooling in your stomach.

...

Now.

Where are those two figures that had greeted you to begin with?]

...they're not ubiquitous, but it's far more common than I'd like to admit. Apparently you can't go even half a year without some sect or other being stumbled upon by adventurous sorts with more curiosity than sense.

[ Seriously, like, a third of all D&D adventures deal with creepy cults. And she lives in an RPG world. ]

[alwaysgonnatry]

Whoah! That sorta thing seems to happen quite a lot... well.. okay about once a year but still. No wonder you're so much more... relaxed about this kinda situation.

[ Not creeped out or anything though. It's actually kinda fascinating in it's own weird way. ]

[necroyalty]

I will say that if nothing else, they're quite good at probing the world for terrible arcane secrets so that the rest of us don't have to.

[alwaysgonnatry]

They pretty much save you the work in doing that much at least. That's one way to look at it.

[ She looks back towards some of the implements with a small shudder. ]

Can we leave this area and go to that Sanctum place or something? This place is really creeping me out.

[necroyalty]

...are you quite sure the Sanctum is going to fare much better for you?

[alwaysgonnatry]

Won't know until I see it for myself, right? I might totally be able to handle it, no problem!

[ Who can say? She's always been the 'charge ahead' type and will continue to do so. Heading off now in the direction she's sure it's in. Please stop her if it's not. ]
