When Sorrow stepped into the maze, it was without any hurry, wondering at the new and unusual world around her.

"Did I like, really wake up this morning?" she asked.

"I certainly woke up this morning." Lawrence volunteered, never one to doubt himself. "It takes a very long time for me to do my usual morning routine." A few wrong turns later and he was lost in the maze.

He refused to give up until he reached the castle. He'd be back.

[ Round 3: ] The moat is a sheer, fifty foot drop, and must be navigated with care. The draw bridge to enter the Halls of Trickery have long since rotted away. You have but one option: enter the monster-infested moat.

Out of the corner of your eye, you think you spy a grin hanging in the air.

- All players must roll 1d10. Each roll consumes 1 stamina. If any player rolls a 4 this is instant death and forces characters to restart form the beginning of round 1. Otherwise match your rolls to the results:
1: -25% of remaining HP. Rose petals crunch beneath your feet, and a spider camouflaged in them bites your ankle.
2: Nothing happens
3: INSTANT DEATH for just you. You need to portal out and restart form Round 1!
4: INSTANT DEATH for the entire party. Your group needs to portal out and restart form Round 1!
5: Nothing happens
6: Nothing happens
7: - 50% of your remaining HP. A crocodile has bitten you, and attempts to drag you under.
8: Nothing happens
9: -50% of your remaining HP. A crazed shadow creature swarms you from a nearby shadow.
10: Nothing happens

- All players need to roll 3 times to make it to the next round EACH
- If you are portaled out you must start again from Round 1!

As she wandered, she lost the hooded figure, and finally approached the building. It was surrounded by a huge ditch, and at the bottom, what looked like water.

She warmed her arms up.

"Okay!" she shouted, "ready or not!"

Something stirred in the water below.

She didn't hurry the climb down either, and once across, floated, deciding to enjoy the water a while, different from the pool in the gym, even the taste-

And then there was a crunching sensation, a twisting and sharp pain she'd never felt before, and her entire body came apart.

[ Setting and Rules: ]

The palace itself is in the heart of extremely, extremely high thick vegetation that needs to be navigated through.

[ Round 1: ] Before you can enter the labyrinths, you must first defeat the guard animal that patrols the perimeters.

- All players must roll a 6 sided dice. This initial roll does not cost stamina!
- If any player rolls a 1 or 6, you have triggered a boss! If two players roll a 1 or 6, you now have two bosses... congratulations.
- The boss has 55 HP, and does 5 auto damage every time it is attacked. You can attack it unlimited times within discretion. All normal battle mechanics apply.
- The DM is in charge of keeping track of the boss's HP.
The boss is a monstrous wolf, a remnant of some cold, old north. It howls, and the winds increase with every mournful wail.
- No one can go any further until the boss is defeated. IF NO ONE rolls a 1 or 6, or if you have defeated the boss, you may proceed to round 2.

Lawr expected the worst.

And like so many things in his life, the worst happened, one of the guardians heard them and crept up on them both, all bristling snarls and terror.

He looked exasperated and pointed at it when Sorrow got back.

When Sorrow rematerialized, she was dizzy and sprawled out and while she no longer thought this was a dream, she still wasn't sure if it was entirely real.

"Something...something happened back there mon. Something bad."

The last thing Sorrow expected, still shaky and recovering from being ripped apart by something in the water, was to have something else jump her, bite her shoulder, and shake her.

"H-hey, cool it!"

She punched its nose, and it threw her. She went sailing, and hit a tree hard. When she stood, it was holding her neck, backed up against the bark.

"Uh...Jan, dude..."

Lawrence looked entirely unimpressed as the Halloween creature was attacked by another one. He was tempted to just leave them to it, but then he would never know what lay beyond or what was so important about the dreams.

He shook his head and summoned the long lethal looking talons that were Butch

"Back me up." he stated and then after a single beat of hesitation. "Please."

And then he leapt forward with both gauntlets at the ready to attack the beast. He just hoped Butch knew what he was doing.

"S-sure mon, okay," Sorrow stood, still wobbly.

"He's like, really, and I'm, you know-" Still way out of it.

But in spite of this, she shook her limbs out, and (determined), caught the wolf by the bitterly cold fur of its neck. There were clumps of ice at the corners of its mouth and eyes. She braced herself.

"Good." was the only affirmation of her valiant distraction she received as he leapt forward again and sunk his talons into fur. Butch knew dogs, and wolves were close enough to count. And though he couldn't listen to some of the creatures advice. Bite its legs for instance, he could certainly compensate with his own calculated brutality.

Sorrow hung on.

"It's not worth it, mon," she advised the wolf, "use your words."

Lawr's muscles ached, he wasn't fit. He wasn't really suited for combat but this was Butch's realm. The weapon took to fighting with a ready sort of bloodlust that impressed the Death hunter. He could use this. This wasn't so bad.

"Are there different levels of sentience of monsters in this world?" He was curious if Halloween had the same spectrum ranging from animals to humans.

He didn't sound phased despite asking it while trying to gouge a wolf's eyes out and even as he spoke the runes on the gauntlets lit up vividly.

"Well yeah like, everybody's different I guess."

The wolf was pretty different and not a very good communicator.

"You shouldn't be like, sending out dream messages and making like, weird forest doors if you don't want anybody to come here."

Everyone being different was quite the understatement when it came to Halloween.

"I will take that as a yes." He said, swinging around to dart between the snarling creatures forelegs, dragging talons through its underbelly fur hard.
