ORIGIN EXPLORADORA: SESSION 1

[hot_mess_express]

[Following the light brings you to the old City Hall.

You begin in the main entrance. Though much of the building is overgrown by jungle and most doors are blocked, there is a stairwell to the basement off to the left at the back of the room.

Within this room are several giant geckos of varying sizes -- mostly on the ceiling, they look down at you, hungry.

At the door though, there's an unfamiliar person...

It's a centaur. Except... definitely not a horse.]

Comments

[bondkeeper]

[ a little damp from the rain, eying the geckos only briefly before addressing the centaur(?) ]

Hhhhey?

[rottedwood]

[HE JUST EYEBALLS YOU]

[rolebreaker]

[ while you're staying back to fight, he's already moving down the stairs with a smaller girl in tow.

he... might be near unrecognizable though as we are Team Unicorn Kigurumi. ]

[awakenerd]

[Eying the hungry geckos warily but also?? Person??]

Hey there?

[rottedwood]

[looks at you

looks at the geckos

looks at you

....pointedly goes back to looking at the geckos.]

[fairwind]

[The geckos are creeping down the walls...]

SOME FUCKO

[rottedwood]

[yeah, this guy's lower half is... a stag, probably, based on the antlers he's sporting, large and somewhat covered in moss and all, which nicely suits his green hair! he's also armed with a wooden staff of some sort, though it's slung over his (human) back at the moment.

he seems to EXAMINE THE PARTY, then huffs, unimpressed.]

[ruinatings]

Well, well. Are you a new "hero" or some other lost soul?

[voreaciously]

Good day to you. Are you a newly arrived hero, someone, or something else?

[bowtiedbones]

[takes a picture of the geckos on her chain]



[...takes a picture of the centaur]

[rottedwood]

[is this THE TIME, MISS??

abruptly stepping forward to just. block the camera on her chain with a hand.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow looks around the area, eyeing the geckos for a moment before he looks at the not-a-centaur. ]

Yo, what's up?

[rottedwood]

[GESTURES AT THE ROOM AT LARGE AND SHRUGS, LIKE, YOU TELL ME!]

[voreaciously]

[Eyeing those geckos calmly like u wanna fite. She's been killing them often, she ain't scurred.

Otherwise, she takes in her surroundings, even if she is aware of danger.]

[bondkeeper]

What's up with the lizards?

[clerically]

[Out of all the things to gawk at, she is gawking at the deerperson the most.

Wow.]

[rottedwood]

[kind of eyeing her back and then just focusing more on the geckos.]

[ruinatings]

[Ooookay this is new. He's going to treat it like a Trial though. Time to be determined and cooperate with even certain butts who are here.]

Should we dispatch them?

[awakenerd]

That seems like a good idea for everyone's safety.

[malignstar]

[ Waves to the geckos and then heads toward stairwell... ]

[fairwind]

[You head down.]

DOWN THE STAIRS

[fairwind]

As you go down, you'll find a door into the basement.

Unfortunately, it's blocked by a thick wall of thorns. Fortunately, there's a hole in the wall nearby.

Re: DOWN THE STAIRS

[malignstar]

[ I enjoy holes in walls ]

OFFICE 1

[fairwind]

[You go through the hole into an office

Within this room are several desks and chairs, many knocked over or around from their original positions. Amongst them are personal effects -- a stuffed animal here, some family photos there.

There are laptops scattered here and there, though there's no power to the room and hasn't been in some time, so they're not much use. You could use some of the regular office supplies though, maybe...?

Your only available exit is to the hallway.]

Re: OFFICE 1

[rolebreaker]

[ .........

if forest taught him anything, it's to snoop into other peoples' personal lives.

time to search the personal effects. the laptops are nearly useless, but he'll take one anyways in the event of finding any source of power. he's a modern boy he knows the value of this shit. ]

HALLWAY

[fairwind]

[You come out into the floor's hallway.

The door back to the stairs is blocked by thorns, and there is a mass of the same vines blocking the hall further down.

You have four exits:

The lower left exit takes you back to Office 1.

The lower right exit is an open door into another office, which is mostly full of thorns.

The upper left and upper right are rooms with closed but unblocked doors.]

Re: HALLWAY

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow is going to shoot at the thorns to try and tear enough of a hole in them to get through to the lower right room. ]

MEETING ROOM

[fairwind]

[You enter a small meeting room -- rather than a full-sized conference room, this is just one tiny table with four chairs, a file cabinet, and a coffee pot.

There are some papers scattered around the floor.

The only entrance is back to the hallway.]

Re: MEETING ROOM

[malignstar]

[ Time to dig through file cabinet ]

ARCHIVES

[fairwind]

[You enter an archive room. Though most of the shelves have been knocked over and their contents left in piles, there are plenty of files and newspapers to be rooted through.

You can go back to the hallway, or advance via the upper exit into another room.]

[clerically]

[She's got time today! She's going to look through the files and newspapers for anything that might be... well, news to her.

FILING ROOM

[fairwind]

[You enter a filing room. There are many cabinets here, meticulously labeled, and a single desk.

You can head back to the archives, or left through the hall into the left side door or the upper door -- a double door at the very end of the hallway.]

Re: FILING ROOM

[bad_crowmance]

[ Well, first thing's first-- let's check out the desk and see if there's anything interesting there. Next, we're going to check out the labels on the cabinet to see if anything jumps out. ]

CONFERENCE ROOM

[fairwind]

[At the end of the hall is a huge conference room.

Once upon a time, this was the site of city council meetings and discussions of the town's future. Now...

...Now it's a mess. All over the floor there are glass shards, shattered remains of god knows what all spattered in blood. The glass covers just about everything, lying in piles in some places.

In the center of the room, on top of the upside-down conference table, is a cluster of basketball-sized white spheres, all stuck together. Tens of them.]

Re: CONFERENCE ROOM

[bad_crowmance]

[ This is already less boring than the last room.

Crow is going to do his best to avoid the glass shards as he makes his way to the cluster of white spheres. He's not going to touch it immediately-- merely see if looking at it from closer gives a better idea as to what they are. ]

ACCOUNTING

[fairwind]

[You come into another office. This one has bigger, more hefty computers, though they're mostly smashed.

On the ground in one corner is a smushed briefcase.

The lower exit appears to be another empty office completely full of thorns. You could also go back to the hall.]

Re: ACCOUNTING

[bowtiedbones]

[going straight for that briefcase!]

SESSION END

[fairwind]

[Abruptly, your chains go off. There's a new message.

You've passed one test.

There'll be more.

Now run.

Whether or not you've found all the clues, this building is done being examined. All the thorns you've seen til now suddenly start to rise, slithering around and filling up more space.

Players, please roll 1d10 for your final result.

10: You escape completely unscathed and with all items you attempted to take.

5-9: You escape safely, but lose any items you can't easily run with.

2-4: You escape with some scratches. They leave you with a sense of sorrow, but concentrating on positive thoughts will clear it right up.

1: You did not escape. Tangled in thorns, you're pulled into the dark, constricted and pierced. An unnatural despair fills you, but you don't have long to feel it -- just as long as it takes to suffocate.

After this, the basement can't be re-entered. Dead characters will wake up in their rooms in the morning, but cannot attend later sessions of this event.]

Re: SESSION END

[malignstar]

[ Flawless escape with all his hand-written notes, pens and glass o/ ]
