Journal 33: The Dream Is Collapsing!
Concluding the dream encounters as team bravo, it becomes clear that some are able to be freed from their prisons. To what lengths will the party go to retrieve these lost souls from the crypt?
Created by Wren for the Valdorin campaign
General Summary
Bruno touches the water, and transforms into 'The Other Guy'. The basement starts to tremble! Bruno attacks! He is a tough dude, but eventually dies because a boulder drops from the ceiling and kills him.
We flee the cellar, which is trembling and "Oh god! there are spiders and other crawlier everywhere!" The place has all sorts of extraspecial terrors, such as a giant spider and a room that has no exits. Eventually only Leokas Arcanscape manages to escape.
Everyone wakes up after this terrible nightmare (except
Harvey Cecil). Harvey has a dream/vision of the Raven Queen. We see Leokas in the garden, running towards the manison. We take him inside and let him take a nap; he is very hurt. He does have a box with him; it contains the other half of
Darri's tarot card. She takes it and it is whole again! Hurray!
Jean-Pierre Lebas de Fenelon-Chaussy d'Edouart thanks us. He tells us a little about his history; how he tricked the native people of this land, and that
Madame Ziga cursed his familiy for it. She is of the Tsigani people, followers of the god of the moon. Jean-Pierre's wife "is" the crypt. She was cursed and once every moon she is released. Madame Ziga was part of the circus.
Darri is a decendant of Madame Ziga. We discuss a way Jean-Pierre can help us, and the other way around.
We plan to go into the crypt. We have to put "them" (the non-survivors) to rest, which is tricky as they are now undead monsters. We have to bury them with their dolls! We manage to save
Marril Mineshadow,
Belward Axeager,
Horgeon Woodsoul and of course Leokas. Their glorious leader gets owlbeared, and can't be saved.
