[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 4488776, member: 21215"] 12) Ancient Song When the group is camping outdoors while travelling near or through a woodland, late at night, they begin to hear sounds of many people laughing and distant upbeat music. Looking about, they will notice ripples of silver light in the dark woods around them, coming and going as if pushed back by the light of their campfire or torches. If the group puts out their light sources, the silver light will grow, eventually covering their camp and the surrounding area with a translucent scene of a masquerade ball amidst manicured trees, simple but elegant decorations, and some few marble sculptures and a well. All the beings are all tall humanoids, elves or humans perhaps, wearing a variety of painted animal masks, as they dance, laugh and make merry while drinking and eating from small tables. The sounds of the party seem somewhat hollow, as if echoing from a distance. The merrymakers will seem not to notice the group. Any attempts to interact with them will prove them to be insubstantial, except for the food and drink. Those who partake of the food fall asleep to dreams of one partygoer sneaking away, and men in black coming from the night and slaughtering the merrymakers to the last. The sleeper can only be awakened by the dawn, or magic which wakes a target. If, however, any member of the group attempts to sing or play music, the merrymakers will stop and look directly at him/her, as if listening. If the song is upbeat/joyous, the merrymakers will begin to dance, and at the end of the song, cluster about the musician clapping and patting them on the shoulder with ephemeral hands as the entire masquerade fades away. The musician, however, will notice a tiny flickering in the distance of silvery light. Getting close the light fades away, and the character will fall into a deep, dried up well. They will find literally dozens of bodies worth of ancient, broken bones and dust, and a single dust covered, but otherwise unblemished, lacquered wooden masquerade mask of a fox. [/QUOTE]
