[Xalxe]

*clears throat* Excuse me Mr Omniscient Voice in my head, but the name's

Persephone

. Stephanie and I aren't often on speaking terms.

With my

four

speed, I will go upstairs to the Upper Landing and reveal a new room...to the North, I suppose, it's as good as any other direction.

[Farren]

Persephone

moves from the Entrance Hall to the Upper Landing, then moves north. You have discovered the

Charred Room

; draw an

Omen

.

Omen - Dog

• Add 1 to the result of your Speed rolls.
  
• SPECIAL ACTION: Once during your turn, you may use the Dog to trade any number of Items or Omens with another player up to 4 tiles away, using the normal trading rules.
  
• When this card is drawn, make a haunt roll.

Haunt roll:

Original Roll String: 1d3-1

1 3-Sided Dice: (3)-1 = 2

As Persephone discovered a new room, this ends Xalxe's turn.

Pictures coming soon!

[Xalxe]

A new friend! I shall name you...

[Nancy Drew 39]

Can anyone help advise me? I’m not really sure what to do.

[Charles510]

Do you want to explore somewhere?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Do you want to explore somewhere?

Sure, do I just choose a room? I played this ghosthunting game where we had different locations and maps but I have no idea where to go?

[Charles510]

You can move up to your speed distance. Choose a direction.

[Nancy Drew 39]

You can move up to your speed distance. Choose a direction.

to the basement? or do I have to go West maybe?

[Charles510]

You go west. You are in some sort of hallway. Move again.

[Farren]

In this game, "exploring" specifically refers to leaving the boundaries of the map to discover a new room, adding it to the map. You may leave the boundaries of the map as long as you do so through a door. (No walking through walls allowed.)

The

Ground Floor Staircase

connects directly to the

Upper Landing

, allowing passage between the Ground Floor and the Upper Floor. There is currently no way of accessing the Basement.

Rooms you can reach and explore, given your Speed:

• Entrance Hall (North, South)
  
• Hallway (North, South)
  
• Upper Landing (West, East, South)
  
• Charred Room (East)

If you want to explore, choose one of these rooms and a listed direction.

If you explore, we will draw a new tile and place it in your new location. Charles may contact you regarding how it's placed, if it can be rotated.

This tile may have one or more effects on you, either positive or negative. There's no way to know which until you choose.

[Nancy Drew 39]

East go to Charred room

[Cat Scratch Fever]

You typically want to land in an empty space, which will reveal a new room. For example, you can go

west

east from the charred room

[Farren]

East from the Charred Room is a valid move; there's no door to its west.

I'll be resolving this move in ~10 minutes or so - I sent her a PM to orient the new tile, but if it gets past deadline I'm just going to roll a die to orient it.

[Farren]

This roll is to determine the orientation of the placed room. We normally try to reach out to the player for this, but if the original deadline passes we'll roll it randomly to keep the game moving. This shouldn't have too much of an impact, especially before the Haunt.

Three-way junctions (1d3-1):

• 0: Wall to the player's right
  
• 1: Wall to the player's left
  
• 2: Wall to the player's front

Original Roll String: 1d3-1

1 3-Sided Dice: (3)-1 = 2

[Farren]

Oliver

moves from the Entrance Hall to the Charred Room, then heads East.
You discover the

Observatory

, with exits heading West, North, and South. Draw an

Omen

.

Omen - Ring

• This is a Weapon.
  When you use the Ring to attack, you and the defender each roll Sanity instead of Might. The loser takes Mental damage.
  
• Add 1 to the result of your Sanity rolls.
  
• When this card is drawn, make a haunt roll.

It twists on itself.

There are now two Omens in play; the haunt roll is now made at 2d3-2. This cannot produce a result of 5+, so will not trigger the Haunt -

but the next Omen drawn might.

Original Roll String: 2d3-2

2 3-Sided Dice: (1, 1)-2 = 0

[xofelf]

Question, what are the secret stairs that are listed on the Hallway piece? Is that to the basement or something else entirely? Just so you don't have to wait on answering for me to actually move, if it is the basement, then I'd like to move to the landing and then go

north

for an empty room, if it's not, then just go

north

from this room.

[Farren]

Question, what are the secret stairs that are listed on the Hallway piece? Is that to the basement or something else entirely?

There is a

Secret Stairs

tile somewhere in the stack of rooms. If and when that tile is discovered, players will be able to travel directly between it and the

Hallway

(or vice versa). Until then, the passageway from the Hallway is blocked.

Will resolve your move (North from the

Entrance Hall

) in a separate post.

[Farren]

Michelle

heads north from the

Entrance Hall

. You discover the

Dining Hall

, with exits in all four directions. Draw an

Event

.

Event - Impossible Architecture

This room is much larger than it should be. A dresser appears before you. Inside, something begins to shake.

Make a Sanity roll.

• 4+: Draw an Item card.
  Helpful!
  
  
• 0-3: Take one die of Mental damage.
  Disembodied hands and feet crawl out from the dresser.

Michelle has a Sanity of 3.

Roll 1: The Sanity roll.
Roll 2: The Mental damage roll,

if

the first roll is less than 4. It will not apply if the first roll is 4+.

Original Roll String: 3d3-3

3 3-Sided Dice: (3, 1, 2)-3 = 3

Original Roll String: 1d3-1

1 3-Sided Dice: (1)-1 = 0

[Farren]

The Sanity roll fails;

Michelle

takes one point of Mental damage.

xofelf, please choose which mental stat (Knowledge, Sanity) you will decrease by one.
Knowledge: 4 -> 3, three away from death.
Sanity: 3 -> 3, two away from death.
