He wasn't sure what Sorrow meant, it was hard to tell with the strange creature whether she was being factually accurate of vague. He felt like Jan might have been the persona to use on this particular oddball.

Maybe after he dispatched this stupid animal.



He brought his fingers together and slammed the flat of his hand up into the wolf's throat. It made a sound of agony. It was progress.

All he could think was that he was going to have a sit down after this amount of exertion.

Butch thought they should have a snack.

If there was one thing that could be said for Sorrow, it was that she had a very hard grip for someone her size.

With a final brutal twist of his claws, he brought the wolf down hard.

He stood over it, bony chest rising and falling rapidly, looking mad and ruffled.

"There." he stated sharply.

[ Round 2: ] All players must now navigate the garden labyrinth. The once neat hedges have grown wild vines, covered in thorns. They were roses, once.

- Roll 1d100 to progress. You need to continue rolling until you roll 75 or higher!
Roll 75-100: Congratulations, you've made it through the winding pathways of the hedge maze.
Roll 1-74: You still need to keep on searching the area, full of traps and dead ends. There are roses with teeth, pits of quick sand, and at least one literal nest of vipers.
- For ever time you do find the end of the maze (each reroll), you must subtract one of your given stamina points.
- If you hit 0, you cannot go any further/ you dissipate/ pass out/ are worn out.
- If you made it past this round, you can proceed to round 3:

"Th-that's what- like, that's what happened," Sorrow said quietly, as the wolf disintegrated in her arms, and did not reappear. Or if he did, it wasn't close by.

She shivered, hugging herself instead.

"Mon it is like, not pleasant."

His sense of direction just wasn't the best.

It took him a little longer than before, but on a combination cocktail of adrenaline and motivation he pressed on through the maze with a methodological determination.

[ 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!

Sorrow waited for Lawr. And if he had been confused before, he now received a very graphic and vivid example of just what, exactly, she had meant.

[ 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.

Sorrow was not sure how much more of this she could take. ...Or how much more she was meant to take.

Nor did Lawrence, but once he fixated on a thing it was always difficult to derail him from it.

Another wolf slunk up on them and he decided he was going back out the way they came.

Quote:

The Halls of Trickery:
Once a grand museum: a white and gold palace full of artifacts, donated by the gods of mischief and chaos so that they could be remembered for all of time. Guarded by a wondrous moat and surrounded by a lush labyrinth, it was a spectacle for all that sought it out.

Those days are long since gone. Nonetheless, the Halls remain an artifact rich area, for any explorers brave enough to chance it. The white walls of the Halls of Trickery are peeling and rotted, the moat full of reptiles, and the labyrinthine gardens are dangerously overgrown.

Portals to the Halls of Trickery randomly spawn, but they are very much by chance. The highest chance of portals spawning to that exact location is by parking yourself in the Weeping Forest!

[ Getting Started: ]

- You need to camp out in the Weeping Forest after reading the information. Hunters can enter Halloween as well without a golem (recommended as the Halls themselves are very golem unfriendly due to its climate and natural enemies), for a max of 30 minutes. Each roll takes 5 IC minutes - students can pretty much park here as long as they need.
- Hunter and Horsemen, however, only have 6 chances to find the portal. If they don't find it, they will need to leave and come back. Students do not need to ICly leave and come back!
- To look for a player, all players roll 1d100 until they find the right portal.
Roll 1-50: The portal that leads to movie theater in the character's world. Kick back and relax, I guess, it's an action flick!
Roll 51-70: This portal leads to the neutral ground of the haunted house, in a room that is covered in white and red and suits of cards. Red, smeared paint reads: GO ASK -- but the rest is indecipherable.
Roll 71-80: The portal leads to the land of Valentine's. It's very, very pink, and cherubs keep trying to stab you in the butt with an arrow. It's for your own good, they yell, but you should probably skedaddle.
Roll 81-100: Congratulations! Your group found the portal! Success! You can now proceed inside.
