Thing that go Bump in the Night
ST: Pre-Adventure: Evrom DeDom lusted after sweet Juliann. It was a dark and sinister love, not unlike the smothering effect of a snuffer as it puts out a candle flame. No matter what he did, Juliann did not return the attentions that were paid to her. So one night Evrom ended his life, and left his house to her.
Players Pre-Adventure: A night or two before "the 'haunting" one character (the most in-tune to spirits) should start to have dreams. Mostly about a pretty girl, but as pleasurable as the dreams may seem they slowly become twisted and disturbing.
Adventure: Players: Dusk is approaching and the party fairly new in town should find it odd that the town is closing up early. Closing shops, people hurrying home, and bolting of doors. If asked most will say thing like: "it's that time, don't ye know?", "Hurry off, or it will 'hev been too late!". Finally some one will explain that this is the first night of the haunting. ST: The haunting happens for 3 nights every year on this date. During this time as dusk arrives, the player with the dreams is come upon by a spirit. She say's her name is Juliann and begs to be freed, and disappears. During this night and the next day the players can find out some information. With some research, they will discover a year ago Juliann was to be married t0 Errin Blthworth, and she disappeared just a few (three exactly) days before her wedding during a party. Some people think she ran away with another man. Only 9 people are really haunted. The with some deduction they will figure out that all 9 people were at the party where Juliann disappeared. 1- Errin Blthworth a wealthy bachelor still. No one would really want to marry him with the "curse". He can tell you that Juliann excelled at search & discover- (Hide and Seek) Secret: He is really a coward who would just be done with the whole affair. 2 - Dale & Evea Dryden - A wealthy couple. Evwa will recall that Eric Bladden developed a sort of a rash on the side of his face that night. Secret :Dale though it would be exciting to have a party in the old DeDom mansion. He suggested it to Juliann to have it there, besides it's hers anyway. 3 - Rolan & Diana, should have been married 1 year after Errin & Juliann. Rolan has put on hold till this awful haunting have ended. At first it was out of terror. Secret: Now Rolan is not interested in Diana anymore and has found a new love interest. Though he spent the dowry and can pay it back. The affaire is not known to anyone. 4 - Eric Bladden a snob or the highest kind. He dislike taking to anyone with less money that he has. Secret - Know that Juliann hid up stairs but will not admit it. As he was secretly in love with her, followed her up there trying to get fresh. She slapped him and he went off to another area to 'play that retched game" 5 - Heather Armbruster, Juliann's best but somewhat daft friend. She is light of heart and mind, and terrified that this haunting will never end. Secret: She is forgetful and may remember the the week before the party she brought over an old trunk (with a faulty latch) so as Juliann could pack some of her things in it for the wedding. She may ro may not remember that the trunk was placed in the attic for storage. 6 - Belinda Weatherspoon - a spinster that suggested that game. She is sometimes blamed for Juliann's disappearance. Secret: She thinks the ghost is Juliann. But it could be, could it?
7 - Evon Lahn, a guard hired to make sure all the wealthy were safe and the expensive gifts were safe. Secret: he fell a sleep out side, he knows nothing but will tell you he fought a monster that night to make it look like he did something. One of the house keeps of Juliann, now working for the Dryden's knows he really was asleep. |
ST: During the party the gusts played the popular adult game search & discover- (Hide and Seek). Juliann seem to have left the party during the game. Unknown to anyone was that a Wrath was waiting for the right opportunity to make it's move. Evrom DeDom wanted Juliann for himself and when she climbed into the trunk in the attic with the faulty latch he helped it to click. Her friends looked and looked for her never thinking she was trapped in the attic. She died there, and now begs her frightened friends to see that she is buried in a holy grave so she can have peace. They are so frighten that they are not in tune to her or her pleas. They think it is just a malign spirit. The Wrath now has her for himself save the three nights she may walk in the real world (in spirit form) to try and have someone save her from the nightmare. Evrom DeDom is bound to the house and can not leave. He can also may only materialize during the night, and will use all his powers as a wrath to keep anyone from finding and taking Juliann's body from the trunk in the attic and burying it. If this is done a moaning from the house will be heard though out the town and he will cease to exist. Also a modest patch of flowers will grown and bloom on Juliann' s grave for three days every year. The rescuer will know why in a dream and find complete rest and vitality the next day. |
