Welcome to Gaia! ::

1: You hear a snuffling animal sound at the front door, and it immediately perks your interest, so you run out to explore -- and find the family pet, collar jangling, trying to get back inside. A dead end.
2: In the victim's bedroom you find their journal/diary. It contains normal entries, but the last few talk about a strange woman's attempt to recruit them to some kind of magic club.
3: You decide to investigate the back yard, where you find more animal prints, the obvious signs of some digging, and a hole through the back fence.
4: Taking the victim's car keys, you decide to search their car -- and find a paper bag with some candles and two Moly Flowers in the backseat. You can collect and keep them.
5: You head out to investigate around town, pausing at a local hangout spot to ask some around about the victim. They give you some information about hobbies and personal life, but nothing particularly useful.
6: Some locals tell you that they've heard strange sounds at night in the local elementary school's playground. You head out there and find more signs of wildlife, as well as the smudged remains of a magic circle and scattered herbs.
7: Under the victim's bed you find something you wish you hadn't. It doesn't help with the investigation, and you quickly slide it back into place out of sight.
8: You decide to investigate the victim's work and here, at long last, you get the break you've been waiting for: after about 10 minutes of poking around you run into a non-native animal still wearing scraps of clothing or some of the victim's accessories. You call out to it, and as its attention turns to you, it attacks. Move on to part four.

1-40: Moly Flower: a small white flower with a dark root. It can be used once to replenish 3 HP, at which point it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever.
41-75: Fine Wine: This wine has been cursed! It can be used three times in battle, after which it is consumesd and leaves your inventory forever. Each time you use it, roll 1d8;

If you roll a 1-2, nothing happens.
If you roll a 3-5, you're turned into a small animal and you deal 5 damage each turn, no roll required. This effect lasts 3 rounds.
If you roll a 6-7, you're turned into a medium animal and you deal 8 damage each turn, no roll required. This effect lasts 3 rounds.
if you roll a 8, you're turned into a large animal and you deal 12 damage each turn, no roll required. This effect lasts 3 rounds.
76-100: Torn Spellbook Page: It seems like gibberish to you, but you decide to keep it anyway.

1: A scratching sound startles you; it's just a branch against the window.
2: The fourth stair to the second floor lets out a startling groan every time you step on it.
3: A whistle in the attic proves to be only a cracked window.
4: You turn a corner and come face to face with -- oh. A man's overcoat.
5: Something brushes up against the back of your neck. You smack it, and come up with a dead mosquito.
6: As you walk down a hall, something grabs you by the ankle. It turns out you're just caught on an electrical cord.
7: With a thud, something falls off a high shelf. You startle and turn, and see it is due to a bird, which you chase out of the house.
8: The phone rings insistently. When you pick it up, no one is there.
9: The television comes on of its own accord.
10: Running footsteps come from above you, going so far as to knock a picture crooked.
11: You enter a room that is at least ten degrees cooler than all the others in the house. After a minute or two, it slowly warms back up.
12: A breeze passes through that carries with it the distinctive smell of a lake in summer.
13: The lights go out, and a faintly glowing orb floats in front of you. You blink, and it's gone.
14: All at once, for no apparent reason, you become dizzy and your vision goes black. You awaken less than 30 seconds later, sprawled out on the floor.
15: For just a moment, water seems to slosh around your ankles. You'd think it was just your imagination, except your shoes are damp...
16: You pick up a picture to look at it more closely. For a moment, all of the people within look blue and bloated, like they've been drowned. Then it returns to normal.
17: From an open doorway, a shadow falls into the hall. It seems to be looking your way. When you approach, it disappears.
18: The feeling of a ghostly hand on your shoulder is lingering and undeniable.
19: Something whispers in your ear, "Come to the water...come to the water..." When you turn, it goes silent.
20: After investigating the bathroom cabinet, you close the door -- and, in the mirror, you come face to face with an unearthly woman. She's only there for a moment before she disappears.

1-2: Once they are below the water's surface, Chosen find themselves within safe pockets of air, being guided deeper toward the bottom of the lake. Here they find an SUV with three sleeping twenty-somethings contained within. The woman tells the Chosen that she's been protecting them, keeping them in stasis and 'haunting' the lake house in her efforts to get someone to come help. They must bust open a door [HP: 20] in order to rescue those within and bring them to the surface for medical care.

When completed, collect a bonus 5XP and roll 1d100 for loot, matching to the below:


3-4: Once they are beneath the water's surface, Chosen find themselves within safe pockets of air, being guided deeper toward the bottom of the lake. Here they find a strange piece of electrical equipment that has been rusted over by time, but still clearly has functioning lights on one side. As they get close to it, the woman seems to lose her mind, looking at them like she doesn't recognize them. She immediately lashes out, grabbing at them and trying to drown them.

It seems obvious that she was leading them to this strange gadget, and likely it is the source of her madness. However, it has 50 HP, and each time they attack it the lady deals them 5DMG. If they choose to attack her first, she has 20HP.

When the barrel is destroyed, collect a bonus 10XP and roll 1d100 for loot, matching to the below:
