Gameplay

Checking one last time if Sami wasn't trying anything funny, Kikkert then turned his back and followed the small group toward the entrance.

Trond will keep the pistol at hand but out 9f sight, and follow along.

Just so I know, your plan is to drag/carry the priest two kilometers through the torrential downpour, do something at the church, then come two kilometers back, then dig around for the body, then carry that body back the two kilometers to the church?

How about we grab some shovels, dig this guy up, and bury him in the church graveyard? I think Father Wine maybe to far gone to help.

-Uh, you planned for him to help us ? I just thought we would use him as a distraction if that ghost attacked us. Since he would be the easiest target, you know...

He took a look at all of his companions.

-... But your idea sounds fine to me, yeah. But where would we get shovels ? Don't think Mr. Marital Violence here in the house would be too eager to give us some.

There should be a shed or an outbuilding.

He looks around

Of course. Every establishment has a shovel or two, surely.

Outside on the stable, you find a pair of shovels. Moving to the garden where the body was supposedly desecrated and buried, the train pounding into you and lightning tearing apart the sky, thunder rolling instantly on its heels, you find the garden root cellar.

Opening the door, you see a huge dark cave that is vastly bigger than the root cellar. On the walls are shelves of food crawling with maggots, bugs, and rats. There is a strong wind. Fragments of a man's voice are constantly heard whispering and shouting: "…Albert my love…" "…my right to decline…" "You were everything to me!" "You let Pyri kill me and I will…" "Katja!" "Hilma…" "Have seen things none of you could ever…" "My name was…" "danced in Paris and…"

You have a vision of Oscar as a human standing before them in the cave. He is a young man with expensive clothes and eyes glittering with love. Oscar looks to the side at someone who cannot be seen. Then his neck bursts open as if cut by a knife, gushing blood, and Oscar falls to the ground. He tries to scream but only lets out a gurgling sound. His body decays in an instant and is covered with maggots.

You must make a Fear test against Fear 2.

Stand down spirit, we are here to help you.

If there's anything I cannot abide, it is maggots! Blood gushing from a man's neck, not pleasant. But maggots, I just cannot deal with that.

He calls out, "Come to me!" but who he's calling is a mystery.

What do you do?

Who are you looking for?

"You! You murderers, I'll have my revenge." He face is twisted in hate and obsession, as he looks at the door out of the cellar, as if waiting for something or someone.

You are lost between worlds. We are jot your killer, we are trying to lay you to rest.

Are you waiting for someone?

Would you like to make a MANIPULATION test to convince him of your intentions? He's a bit unhinged and not easy to make the leap for reason, but a success might sway him.
