"What is it?" Claire's initial moment of panic is somewhat lessened when she recognizes Alexander's tone, but she still quickly runs up to the tree to check on her cousin.

As Claire approaches to check Alexander, she sees him trapped in the tree roots. It looks like her cousin tried too hard and just got more and more entangled as he tried to get out.

"How did that happen?" Claire asks. She's still reassured by his tone earlier that Alexander is fine, so she's not too worried. She steps in closer and tries to see if there's any way she can help him out of the roots he got himself caught in.

Nathaniel will slowly move toward the tree to see what Alexander has gotten himself into.

Everyone sees Alexander tied up in the tree roots, not quiet clear what he was trying to do or how he get there. But he is alive xD
May 16, 2023 8:59 am
"I'll help you get out," Claire offers. She leans down and pulls on the roots, trying to free her cousin from where he is trapped.
This would probably be Brawl, but I have 0 there, so I'll roll two Guile as Claire tries to find the best angle to pull.
Reward: Getting Alexander out
Risk: Being affected by what happened to him as well
Edit: Why do I keep rolling double sixes? 🤣 I'll remove one Guile die. Still only counts as two regular successes, since it's the wrong die type
OOC:
We can't actually see the character sheet you linked. It's not public.This would probably be Brawl, but I have 0 there, so I'll roll two Guile as Claire tries to find the best angle to pull.

totally because it wasn't supposed to be a character sheet but the post where Alex is alive xDWell, you safely take your cousin out and loose a die! lots of stress putting the man out of there ... or maybe its because of what's coming next 😈

Alexander blinks for a long moment and shakes his head as if caught in a cobweb. "Um... thank you, Claire," he stammers as he brushes off soil and wet leaves. "That tree—I'm certain it leads to the manor. But all I saw was darkness in there. Like I saw in the grave, only... hungrier." He pauses and stares off into space before going on: "There was a strange rune, too. Like something ancient and evil. I could see Roderick there, and... you, Claire. Or someone who looks just like you. The old man turned to stone, and then all sorts of ghastly creatures danced around. Then came someone in a dark robe. She stabbed you in he heart and then the monsters all danced. The old man came back to flesh, and the robed figure said something like, 'It's time.' She wanted me to take you to her, Claire."
OOC:
I think that summarizes the vision. I was a bit confused over whether the robed woman also looked like Claire, or only the sacrificial victim did.May 16, 2023 4:44 pm

There a lot of mistakes on top of vagueness there, but I a quick re-read and I think there's only 3 character: Roderick, the young woman and a robbed figure. Alexander can interpret it anyway of course, particularly giving the shock :D OOC, the "last woman", which could be where the confusion comes from, it's the sacrifice, not the figure

Claire listens to this tale with visible confusion. "So, uhmm," she asks. "Someone wants to sacrifice me to revive grandfather? A woman?"
May 18, 2023 4:34 pm
Alexander shakes his head. "I'm not sure. But you may have a doppelgänger. Maybe put a red ribbon in your hair or something so we can tell you apart later..." He signs. "So I suppose we must head back to the house?"
May 18, 2023 6:27 pm
As they start walking back to the mansion, Claire suggests, "Maybe we should come up with a password. If you're unsure if someone is me, just ask and I will say it so you know. The password could be..." She doesn't think long and just says the first word that comes to her mind that's unlikely to accidentally come up in conversation. "...Annabelle."
She realizes what she said the moment it is out of her mouth. "Or something else!"

"'Annabelle or something else'" Nathaniel repeats misunderstanding. "it's definitely unique"
May 23, 2023 2:04 pm
Alexander winces at mention of the name Annabelle. He glowers at Claire and nods. "'Annabelle' is a most appropriate password, Cousin, especially if we are to undo whatever blasphemous covenant our malefactor forebears have struck. A curse for a curse, eh?" He heads toward the manor.
May 29, 2023 4:37 pm
Nathaniel followed the others, making a mental not to try to keep them both in his sights. "So, uh, what are we hoping to find in the house this time?"
May 30, 2023 8:03 am
OOC:
Ok everyone towards the manor! You're getting close to figuring out the Ceremony so I'll just go straight to that and avoid any minor plots xD Where are you looking and for what? (basically what's the answer to Nathaniel :D

I think we were planning to ask the caretaker some more questions, about the vision and Rose, probablyMay 30, 2023 6:22 pm
OOC:
Yep. Learn more from the Caretaker. But if the idea is to fast-forward past talking to him, we can do that.load next
