During their Excursion, Hanako's group come across... a new location!
Drenched in otherworldly stillness, a foreboding, Gothic mansion comes looming out of the mists of the Dream Sphere. As the rest of the dream asserts itself, you realize that the mansion's grounds aren't just gardens but are a sprawling graveyard that stretches as far as the eye can see, crumbling gravestones haunted by Torments ready to give anyone foolish enough to go investigate. A horrible miasma lingers around the grounds and unfortunately follows you into the mansion once you choose to explore it. Inside, the place is dilapidated, draped in cobwebs and the contents of each room frozen in time. It's your classic haunted mansion, right down to horrible portraits of the imaginary inhabitants that always seem to be moving just out of the corner of your eye but snap back into stillness as soon as you turn to look...
The place is infested with horrible, spidery Torments who will lunge out of the shadows the second they get a chance. One of these taking the group by surprise results in Cinnabar being ejected from the dream, though not without taking it down with them. With Cinnabar gone, that leaves Mantle and Hanako, not quite aware that the miasma seeping in from the grounds is growing gradually more and more toxic...
Mantle succumbs first, ejected from the dream by the poisonous mist. Hanako lasts the longest, thanks to building up resistance via Cinnabar's poison, but eventually he grows sluggish and weak too and is set upon by a group of spider Torments that had been laying in wait and is ejected soon afterwards.
Our condolences on your Excursion failure! Every member of the group will be unable to return to the Dream Sphere for three days to one week following this Excursion and will find a nasty cough lingers in the Waking World for up to a week afterwards. As this was an Excursion failure, you are not eligible for any additional rewards but may still use this as the basis for a log/thread if you please and any threads that meet bonus criteria there are still eligible for submission.
