15strangers | WEEK 1

WEEK 1

[The train wouldn't stop. Not until very early the next morning. The few who might have been awake would be able to exit the train, entering the cool twilight of the dawn. The star is dark, and few stars can be seen in the sky as a cold breeze begins to blow from the mountain beyond. You can see some chunks of rock floating idly nearby, far away from the station that it won't hit trains, but near enough that one can see they are larger than the train they just disembarked.

Lastly, laid out in front of them, the first port of call: Menahoven. The mountain: The Throat of the World.

But which world? Who knows. Not any of yours. Maybe it doesn't matter. Not when you are so far from home. Not when you have no way to get off this rock without the aid of the trains-and they will not let you pass.

It looks like you're stuck here until the Conductor decides to leave. In the meantime, everyone will need to get comfortable.

There are fifteen strangers left in this place.]

[As he does so, a paper will fall out of one of them.]

[Interesting. Mystery paper, reveal your secrets to him.]

[It simply says the name The Coral Island.

It seems to be a book's name.]

[He glances at it, and then goes looking for that book. ... He still has the previous book in his hand, though.]

[It's on a shelf. Just there.

You gonna take it, Caleb?]

[He's a wizard, books are his life. Of course he's gonna take it and flip through it.]

[And that is not going to happen. The book abruptly stops about halfway out...

and a part of the shelf suddenly sinks in, then slides to the right, revealing a staircase.]

... If only Nott were here...

[Oh, well. He's going to check the base of the staircase for traps the best he can.]

[No traps...so far.

Caleb will notice that the air gets drier and hotter as he gets to the stairs.]
