(YBA) Moth travels to Little Peace Town

[Ciaran]

Moth takes the blow, and latching onto the doppleganger, dredges up power from the depths of his soul and channels it into the creature’s body.

Chair Shot!

 

[Ciaran]

While the doppleganger reels from the magical attack, Moth knocks its blade aside and smacks the creature with a nasty blow from behind.

The chimera sucker punches the pillars; shreds the blood of the blade!

 

[Kalanyr]

The turtle overwhelms the cavern; conceals the pain of the reptile!

The Doppleganger hits the floor with a thud! Moth gains 5 Hits Defeated and a Knife and Fork, that on closer inspection can be seen to have dark runes on them.

 

[Ciaran]

Moth sighs, wipes the sweat from his brow, and binds his wounds. Then he methodically searches the house for anything out of the ordinary.

[Kalanyr]

A close inspection of the house yields 2 things

There's a trapdoor leading down in the center of the room.

and

There's a note on a desk at the back of the house.

The steak is very old and seems to be the only food in the place.

 

[Ciaran]

Moth peruses the note.

 

[Kalanyr]

The Note Reads As Follows

Remember what happened to the Last Fool here do not make his mistakes, make sure that you take a newcomer by Surprise or Better if you are unsure of its power send them to the Mansion or The Graveyard.

Z.

 

[Ciaran]

Moth folds up the note and puts it in his pouch. Then he walks over to the window, thrusts his hands into the moonlight, and petitions a moon-sprite to give him light when he walks in the darkness.

To the corpse of the doppleganger, Moth says, "If you were ensouled, rather than a soulless demon, then I bid you seek out a virtuous existence in your next life." Then he opens the trap door and descends to whatever lies below.

 

[Kalanyr]

A spark of light dancing in his hand Moth descends into the basement, in the room is an ancient chest carved with black runic markings and also a trapdoor similar marked.

 

[Ciaran]

Trying to recall his lessons in ancient languages from the Monastery, Moth attempts to decipher the labyrinthine runes engraved upon the chest and the trapdoor.

The foot rends the labyrinth; blocks the rising of the garden!
