Dreams in Darkness (ooc and questions X)

[ChubbyPixie]

Hey, Good Peoples.

I'll be at GaryCon today 'til Sunday evening. Though I always think to myself, "I'll have time to post...," in reality I never do. Given my regular posting rate, I doubt you'll notice...

[OGRE MAGE]

I will be there too, and likely unable to post again till Monday.

[jemmus]

Wow, has a year already passed since the last Garycon?

[Inferno]

Have fun! Can't wait to hear about it.

[Scott308]

I'm at Gary Con, so likely won't have time to post until at least Sunday night.

[Inferno]

Hi everybody,

Looks like our doomed heroes agree on a course of action. All that's left to do is act.

In the meantime, I'm away on vacation and offline until Monday, April 3. Have a great week, everyone! I'll be right back.

[jemmus]

Enjoy it, Inferno!

[Inferno]

Thanks, jemmus!

I'm back. New DM post is up. Thanks for your patience everyone!

[Inferno]

Urdur asks, Does anyone know who Lord Blackchapel is?

Our doppelgangers intend to present themselves to the lord of the city.

Hi,
For the sake of clarity, the PCs know that Blackchapel is the slum district they've been exploring in Hookhill:

The barkeep stops and warily looks Bo over. Then he answers tightly, "What is there to know? Working girls found dead, right ere in Devil's Acre... Blackchapel," he adds, in case the stranger doesn't know the sobriquet of Hookhill's largest slum.

And the PCs had heard of a lord from the vagabonds that huddled in the burned out building where they sought shelter:

Jerome approaches the huddled misfortunates with empty hands and says, "... I am Jerome, a follower of St Cuthbert. Do any of you know anything about the abandoned manse over there?"

"Aye, sir. 'Twas the manor of a great Lord and Lady once," comes a reply.

"A terrible curse fell upon their noble family," whispers another.

"They're all long gone now," croaks a third.

"That place is haunted!" rasps one more. "Ye'd best keep away from there, dearie, if'n ye value ye life!"

Feel free to update your post, Socratic.

Also, player resources can always be found here:

Tale of Terror (the story so far)
Desperate Struggles (clues and player notes)

And you can always ask me questions too of course! Thanks!

Jerome
Jertome frowns, forcing himself to think clearly. Who are the two fastest of us? They should hie for Lord Blackchapel as fast as possible.

Hi Jerome.
For clarity, the PCs are unaware of a Lord Blackchapel or his location.
The PCs don't really know who their dark reflections were referring to, but have some vague ideas. Please see my last OOC post, above.

Thanks!

[Inferno]

Hey,

We have consensus on next steps, so I'll move things along in the hopes of clearing up the confusion.
If you have any questions, please ask!

I may be offline over Easter weekend. If your actions hinge on an answer from me, please post if-then orders.

And please remember to post actions for the the coming hours please. Thanks everyone!

[Inferno]

Hi everyone,

Fyi, real life has overtaken Chubby Pixie and he needs to take a hiatus from Unseen Servant.

And the new DM post is up.

[Inferno]

Faron
The next holy day is New Year's, I think. Five days from now.
I think that's what Inferno said.

Yes. And now it's four days away.

when is the next holy day after new years?

It's not for months. The vernal equinox.

[OGRE MAGE]

I am heading off on a 17 day retreat to the tropics tonight, so my posting rate will be scarce for the next little while.

I will post if/when I can, and be back here full-time the first week of May.

Please NPC as necessary in my stead. Thanks!

[Inferno]

Thanks for the heads up, OM. Have fun.

[Inferno]

Sorry, Urson. That's four and a half days. I followed Jerome's last sentiment: wanting to remain in the mansion. Onward.

[Urson]

No prob.

[Inferno]

“I would conjure up some wine for both of us sir, if I only had the power.”

[Inferno]

Hi everyone,

Sorry about this. Recent developments at work, that are otherwise positive, are curtailing my free time. Unfortunately, I'll need to shelve this campaign.

I've really enjoyed this game, and all of your characterizations. I've learned a lot from it and I'm sad to end it. We had a good run, 8 years! Maybe we can return to it one day.

I'd like to thank you all for playing. I really appreciate it. Wishing you all the best. Take care.

[jemmus]

Thank you for the game, DM Inferno. Much enjoyed your various games I've been in. Good to hear that the changes in work are positive.
