Van and Dan Day 7 Assuming the Dragula survived, they repair and attempt to upgrade it with Witch's Brew. Why the hell else would you burn through them, except to get that potent concoction? They also see if they can get their engineering undergrads to make the Dragula impervious to sunlight. Night 7 They contact the local b ranch of the Catholic Church - they've heard Jack Crow and his Vatican-serving crew of seasoned vampire hunters might be working this, too. They propose an intel and resource pooling to make some Cripsy Critters out of the lot of those bloodsucking freaks and abominable creatures of the slime and night.

Bob from Accounting Bob Sighs. "We need a way in the castle but that place is crawling with monsters! There has to be some weakness!" Day 7 Bob from Accounting heads to the town's planning department and politely asks to see and make copies of any plans of 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖑𝖊 𝕯𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖚𝖑𝖆 or the surrounding grounds. If successful, Bob will add them to the map Van and Dan are creating. Night 7 Bob stays in the Old House's lab and beings to experiment with the creation of a zombie lure. "If we can't kill all the courtyard zombies, maybe we could simply lure them away!"

Ramping over various ghosts and ghouls you tear rear end across the woods Actually it works great, fuckin incredible results. Many but not all monsters are completely hosed up by this. Hub Dirt posted:Night 6: Bignatz curls up next to the back door and listens intently for intruders. Or, if he's not accepted he sleeps under the porch again anyway. There are intruders. They don't approach the house closely but there are still bad news types getting pretty close wandering the neighborhood. You're able to get them to back off, for now. Could end up being a problem if the curse becomes stronger. Lux Anima posted:Treena, Night 06: RavenousScoot posted:Night 6: Team up in the zombie courtyard. Assist in the stakeout, it doesn't sound like a good place to be alone without a dragula. If things get dire and the party is gravely outnumbered your emergency attack is to play your haunted voice message into the megaphone at your attackers. You stroll in and treena starts splattering. 20Pretty soon they're all pasted & you barely have to smash some with the megaphone, playing the voicemail is totally unneded. From here you can reach the Main Hall, Conservatory, & Garage. Apparently, Drac's castle has a normal rear end garage, it's just big. There's also a Hidden Stairwell, which is covered by one big stone and goes down.

Bignatz starts out day 7 quite pleased. It took a lot of effort to retrieve everything from the dark woods but he feels like he's starting to help out. Hardefeest can definitely use the salt. The stake gun is too heavy and the recoil too unwieldy for him to be a decent shot with it, but it's sure to suit one of the hunters. Plus, the woodcraft equipment should help keep the supply of ammo well stocked. The old coin is seemingly much more than the lucky charm that he took it for and... His ears droop and he sulks at the thought of the magic stick. A witches wand is something not easily trusted. It's not the film flam and sleight of hand that he saw so much of in the circus, but real magic. Dangerous in the wrong hands. He contemplates throwing it away, but he knows in his heart that he'd only chase right after it. With this, there's a real chance he can help take the fight directly to The Count. He and the Dr. were largely successful in making a lure for the zombies, but what if they shuffle right back once the bait is gone? He thinks up a plan to take them out permanently. Day 8: Bignatz uses some of the remaining silver to accentuate the boombox. Then enchants it with the magic stick so that henceforth any tune played through it will resonate with the power of the precious metal. Night 8: Bignatz uses the enchanted boom box to dance the zombies to dust via the horror of The Thriller. Day 9: Bignatz heads into town in an attempt to sniff out what happened to the supply of garlic. Night 9: Bignatz attempts to determine who, or what the intruders which sneak around the manse are without directly engaging them. Getting eyes on them would be great, but he hopes to at least get their scent. Hub Dirt fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Oct 10, 2023 |

Name: Katrina "Treena" Hendricks Theme: Hot Chip - One Pure Thought  Skill Class: Weredeer Berserker Items: Silvered melee weapons (baseball bat, fists, boots), 1x flask Holy Water "Whoop - there it is!" Treena trilled, as she turned the corner and found the community-run tool-loaning storehouse. Dismantling things the slow way with tools was not Treena's forte but she was on a mission. Those horrible pig-faced demons from her bloodtrance in the vampire kitchens last night (wait, ...that Carne-fex Al Pastor was actually Chef Hartefeest all along??? Uh, nevermind...) had nonetheless gotten Treena thinking that she'd like to bring along some kind of awful meat grinding machinery to use against the monsters next time! Thankfully Dracula's Garage had been discovered, and she'd gotten a tip where she could score some portable power tools for rent for hobbies and such, so long as her records were clean... Treena, Day 08: > Borrow Battery-Powered Tools for Taking Apart a Garage.... Treena, Night 08: > Attack and Loot Garage with Tools. Signal Team's DRAGULA to Dracula's Garage for hauling parts, if applicable. The night had been long, hot and humid near the swamps, and as she rolled up to the Old House Treena felt like the grimiest greasemonkey after her stint in Dracula's Garage. She just wanted to rest up, get a good shower and a little shaving in, and a square meal that isn't squirming meat or tendrils for once. Also, there was a dog-man to let in! "Hello?..!" Treena said to the ugly lost-looking guy (Bignatz) camped outside the back door of the Old House. "You don't have to stay outside if you're cold and hungry dude, but it IS nice to have someone on night-watch..." "Name's Treena... Hungry? Think we've got some cooked chicken in the fridge." Treena, Day 09: > Rest at the Old House if hurt, Bolster Haus-Defenses if not, and maybe get Bignatz a walkie-talkie or a dead person's phone for signaling plans Treena, Night 09: > Explore the Hidden Stairwell Treena and Chef Hartefeest discovered in the Courtyard, even further if that's the path what lead to the Kitchens. Bring the 1x holy water and a crowbar and a battery-powered floodlamp, if obtained earlier.

The rich Ottone Visconti requires huge amounts garlic and has bought it all up. Why an old italian nobleman would buy it all from here, nobody knows.

Instead of the storm breaking, dawn on Day 10 reveals: Yeah is it kinda bigger than it used to be? Nobody's quite sure. All the routes and locations you've already found are still there. Something's def different than before though. And the clocks and calendars are different, little bit of missed time. Post your Day/Night 10s

Van and Dan After a night of burning witches with plumes of fiery exhaust, the boys decide it's time for a sabbatical. Pounding the vodka shots with the priest, they decide it's time for a couple days rest. They melt into the ether like mist, and return two days later refreshed and ready to tango. "Fuckin' Kevin man, legend right there." Day 10 With the help of engineering students and anyone else, they attempt to rig various launchers and projectile-firing weapons to the Dragula. Holy water bomb launcher, stake shooters, several winches and a nice minibar. All essential monster-hunting tools. Night 10 This Dragula is where it's at, and they decide to play escort, chauffer and combat backup to any of the team that need it. No matter how dangerous or ill advised. And highballs. It's a fuckin' classy night, and you can't go right back into SHOTS. SHOTS. SHOTS SHOTS right after a nice, calm, detoxifying and debauched sabbatical. It's just poor form. Fantastic cocktails for the group, laced with holy water and fine flakes of silver to give the supple tender human(and otherwise) bodies some sort of resistance to the various fluids and punctures and violent exsanguinations said bodies are so often subjected to in this line of work.

Chef! wtf dude? You couldn't manage to get that boar noggin off your noggin and got run out of town by normal villagers thinking you were a monster? That thing really started to stink in the country sun, even despite the cooling autumn weather. Well, at last it got mushy enough to slough off after two days... Day 10: While out in the fields, you remembered that time you and Rigor Tony were fuckin around with a potato gun out there. After getting cleaned up at the safe house, see if you can put together a spud launcher. Spend the rest of the day helping Van and Dan set up the Dragula's minibar then tend bar for the safehouse crew (and welcome it's new canine member) until it's time to go out for the night. Night 10: This castle got fuckin bigger? We barely dented it. That just won't do! Chef Hartefeest, sneak into the courtyard, hoping the zombies have not respawned in the storm, and if all things are go: lob some tubers into the conservatory windows. This should create a distraction and lure anyone inside to the front, ideally to be run down by the Dragula right on cue. Once Van and Dan plow through that glass menagerie, it's our pointy, crushed-up, necrotic oyster.

Day 10: Bignatz asks around for more info on Ottone Visconti. Does the garlic stay local after purchase? Is Visconti buying up anything else? What's the usual make up of the crew that comes in to make the purchase? Does anyone else feel like we've missed a couple days? Night 10: Wide-eyed and equipped with the magic stick, Bignatz sets out to assist the hunters with their frontal assault on the newly expanded castle. The enchanted boombox set to inspire the Wildsing Bros to Tear it Apart.

Bob from Accounting I can't believe the Dark Dark Woods is a state park. Judy from Legal is going to have my head! I'd better leave this out of my reports. It's not like any of the higher ups will give a poo poo though. As long as I accomplish what they sent me here to do... Day 10 Bob from Accounting spends the morning building a secure door for Bignatz into the Old House. Bob then asks Bignatz to determine if one of Ottone Visconti's crew might be the type to accidentally leave a crate of garlic behind. For a few coins of course. While Bignatz is out, Bob asks the Local Priest to bless some water for him. Bob plans to use this water in some vials which can be loaded into his revolver. Night 10 Bob from Accounting loads his monster hunting revolver with a vial of zombie lure and some normal ammunition. Bob then dons his heavy clothing and bite resistant vest, ready to help the other hunters with the assault. Before leaving, out of habit, Bob grabs his silver pen and calculator, tucking them into his vest. Sophy Wackles fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Oct 11, 2023 |

Name: Katrina "Treena" Hendricks Theme: Hot Chip - One Pure Thought Skill Class: Weredeer Berserker Items: Silvered melee weapons (baseball bat, fists, boots), 1x flask Holy Water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbsBEb1ZxWA That bloodtrance of Treena's was acting up something fierce while she was attacking Drac's Garage. In fact, it was going so hard and wild for the young weredeer woman that she was starting to dissociate the words she wanted to say from their literal dictionary meanings and to instead express them emotionally as punches and kicks thrown against a bunch of demonic greasemonkeys defending the vampiric garage's oil pits. Finally, as she was finishing punching out the words for "DEER IN HEADLIGHTS" into a zombie's face, their literal meaning struck Treena thoughts all at once in translation. The weredeer girl froze for a moment before she snapped and fled into the courtyard for the streets, to safety. "gently caress, that sucked," Treena said to the vampire hunter that found her chilling on the stoop of the Old House later. "Sorry I bolted like that, had a weirdly intrusive thought bust me up alliuva sudden... gently caress the vamps, right?" That was about the point when Treena noticed that 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖑𝖊 𝕯𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖚𝖑𝖆 seemed larger and more ominous on the city's skyline, somehow... "Guh..." she groaned. "I'm going in for more? Cya - same time tomorrow night..." Treena took out her phone and tried to schedule something her phone, just at the battery died. "Wait, uhhh... like: what day is it? Fuckit, I'm missing practice I don't care about semi-finals..." Sleep is for the weak, as is knowing the days of the week.

No rest for the weary. Fresh on the heels of the hunters' latest successful sortie against The Count, Bignatz warily eyeballs their dwindling supplies. The silver from the mine still looks in good supply, but the holy water has about run dry. Plus, it seems the local clergy is no help until ~November?? Then there's Ottone Visconti. Bignatz can't seem to get many straight answers as to the Signore and that's another worry. His crew rolls in predawn and then departs with the garlic to satisfy "their thing". Bignatz yawns with disgust. The hunters need a stronger supply line if they're going to continue the fight against The Count. He discards his tattered motley for the most refined fit he can assemble at the manse. "One Ignatius Howl to see Signore Visconti, please." Day 11: Seek parlay with Ottone Visconti, if only to determine "his thing". Propose a Union to Destroy Dracula if things go well.

Chef Hartefeest, our new friend Bignatz can't go to see Ottone like this. He's all skin and bones... and dogs are supposed to hide their bones! Day 11: Make him a meal with body, something that really sticks to your ribs. Then, help get him looking sharp before he leaves for his visit this morning. He can go out the door and really let his big natz swang. There should hopefully be time to make plenty more food to fatten the rest of the crew before they go out for the night. You know, the kind of food that bulks you up like nature's armor. Night 11: Keep the buddy system alive to keep your buddies alive

Bob from Accounting ”What a night!” Bob exclaims. “I’m really starting to feel like a hunter, even if my purpose here is somewhat different than the others.” he thinks to himself. Day 11 Feeling the need for a variety of ammunition, Bob from Accounting spends the day attempting to make silver bullets for his revolver from some of the leftover silver. He also carefully pours some holy water in a vial that can be shot from his revolver alongside his vial of zombie lure. Finally, Bob fashions a belt to hold his ammunition. Night 11 Feeling pretty well prepared and taking the same gear as the night before (with the addition of the new ammunition if successful), Bob from Accounting will attempt to raid the castle’s library. Bob is on the lookout for rare books and/or books with information about the castle or The Count. Sophy Wackles fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Oct 12, 2023 |

Van and Dan After the successful raid and escape full of derring-do, the brothers expertly fix up some drinks from the minibar as they burn undead rubber back to the shop, making sure everyone has a toast to their success while dodging fright-filled citizens coming out as early in the morning as they can, to avoid those terrors in the night. To get stuff done, to prepare for another harrowing eve. And to go to work. Just because Dracula is threatening to engulf the world with his soul of molten pitch, doesn't mean you can work from home. And we'll need to put in some extra hours to make up for the drained corpses of your former co-workers. We'll get around to revoking their badges when we can. I don't care if you have to take the bus home while the sun is setting, our investors need a one percent bump in their quarterly earnings report! Well, at least those civilians have medical insurance. Day 11 They put the Dragula into the ever more complete pseudo-shop out of the Victorian House's garage. And work on fashioning or acquiring some grapnel guns to get them into the upper levels of the main hall. When the team is ready to more deeply hit. They eat heartily of Hartefeest's feast, fueled up. They pass a few of the PatT pills out to whoever's getting in the poo poo tonight. Night 11 "Bob, 'reena? You two got the right idea." Dan says. "Gather intel, burn the rest to deny the enemy. Do you have military training or something?" Van asks the two fellow hunters. Clearly Bob has found a calling he might not have known about. Treena? Well, she came looking like she was always bashin' heads. And soft, desiccated undead skulls. The brothers accompany Bob and Treena. Would the Dragula help get them out of the next scrape, live to see the next night of macabre fright? Tune in and find out, viewer!

Day 12: Bubal Hartefeest, soothe the team's souls and wounds with nood soop. Before you do that though, cook up an idea in your cranium. Glue a toggle switch onto your potato gun, then sit, beg, and roll over for Bignatz to enchant it so it has a suck and blow function. Night 12: Suck and chuck in The Conservatory. There should be plenty of small potato shaped things growing in there. Plug your ears with some cloth or something first in an abundance of caution should there be any mandrakes.

Van and Dan "Just how many different fuggin' creatures ARE there? Pick a loving lane, Dra-cula!" Dan yells while they fight off the next abomination, the next nightmare they'll have to drown in quality booze, quality drugs and cheap sex. Van seems like he's having a love affair with their Dragula. He can be seen whispering sweet nothings to it at times, caressing that rainbow-reinforced unholy metal, rendered into one of humanity's last hopes with love and the power of friendship. And rainbows. "Hey, Bob, can you make sense of this book?" Dan passes the Carmilla to him. Day 12 Healing up from fighting horrendous monstrosities is much like getting over SARs, just with more bandages. The chicken noodle soup is a delight, and Van even lets Dragula sup on some of it. Night 12 They go with Bignatz (or by themselves) to see Ottone Visconti about securing an alliance and some better Dracula-busting supplies. At this point they are loathe to go anywhere in this godforsaken city without Dragula to help them dig through the ditches which are increasingly full of corpses.

Name: Katrina "Treena" Hendricks Theme: Hot Chip - One Pure Thought Skill Class: Weredeer Berserker Items: Silvered melee weapons (baseball bat, fists, boots), 1x flask Holy Water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmg4X3ZIHe8 The Library hit was a bust, even though the molotovs Treena brought worked out their burnination magic in the end... they did manage to score one book of interest - a novel, not a magic tome or anything. "Car - Milluh?" Treena attempted to pronounce, after having yoinked the book for inspection. The name of the book's author name was Sheridan le Falu or something (the cover was a little scuffed and faded) but the opening pages listed the printing date at 1872. Wow. "poo poo, no, wait - it's probably 'Car Me-Ya'. Kinda cute if that's, like, a girl's name, or something..." This could be a clue into Dracula's psyche, if not his feelings towards past lovers? Treena assumed this might be a ...book that might hint at how Dracula predates on fair maidens. How tawdry! "Um I'm gonna read this for clues if that's okay." Treena said to the team on the way back, stonefaced. Treena, Day 12: > Rest up while Reading Carmilla at the Old House While chilling on a sofa in the living room, Treena gets a few chapters in to Carmilla before the nature of the relationships presented in it fully sinks in: "Oh, wait- OH!" She exclaimed, straightening in her seat and smirking. "I see where this is going~!" She continued reading, maybe a smidge faster. Treena, Night 12: > Probably needing a cold shower, instead don Scuba Gear to get through Silver Mine to raid Dracula's Basement all silvered up

Despite the harrowing night, this morning feels like good times, nood soup. Bignatz breathes a sigh. The hunters, all together. He would do anything for them. His eyes still roll at the task ahead. A legendary monster in the library, intruders on the back lawn (Bignatz is absolutely aghast), and of course, Ottone Visconti. Living or undead, Visconti is the #2 man in the burg right now. #1 more like when Drac ain't in town. Visconti has obviously seen how much hell we can raise, but he's also never lifted a finger to aid The Count. Thankfully, the Wildsing Bros will attend the initial talks. Keep the Dragula warm, my friends! Day 12: Bignatz recovers while enjoying the company of the Hunters. He concentrates hard using the magic stick to enchant Hardefeest's spud gun to be able to switch between suck/blow at a whim. Night 12: Bignatz rolls in with the Wildsing Bros. to parley with Ottone Visconti. "Messrs. Van, Dan and Ignatius, for Signore Visconti, please!"

Bob from Accounting Bob takes the Carmilla book from Van and Dan. “Hmm, can’t say I’ve heard of this one. Looks…fascinating.” Bob notices Treena eyeing the book eagerly. “Perhaps you’d like to have a look?” Bob hands the book over to Treena. “What was that monster back in the library? Almost looked like some kind of bat to me. We had better have a plan to deal with it before it tears us to shreds for burning down the library!” Day 12 Bob from Accounting visits a nearby zoo to ask a zoologist more about bats and their habits. Especially about things they don’t like. Night 12 Exhausted and still injured, Bob rests to heal up and recover.

In fact he has conducted several extremely expensive alchemical experiments, concentrating all available garlic to produce a material for this very purpose.

It has long been speculated by arcane scholars that the shifting, eldritch nature of Dracula's Castle draws all sorts of entities from across the vast reaches of time and space (and other places less well known) like the warmth of a porch light calls out to weary and hungering travelers on a cold winters eve. As such it should perhaps be no surprise that some bizarre thing has been observing from alien dimensions that occasionally run adjacent to our own. The ancient being is not something comprehensible or compatible in its native form with our realms of existence - spreading out across many alien realities like a vast network of fungal hyphae on a sodden carpet - but it is able to produce a form that it can observe and effect events and, more relevantly, that it can use to feed... And so, thirteen minutes and thirteen seconds after midnight on the thirteenth day, in a nearby barn there comes a curious sound not entirely dissimilar to a choir of cattle sized gerbils or perhaps gerbil sized cattle (as run through autotune and played backwards to reveal hidden messages) combined with the smell of burning shoe leather and ambergris. Simultaneously substance flows into the thin air of the night from... Elsewhere... forming a shape as pouring if into a pre-existing mold. Filling in from the ground up it takes form within a fraction of a moment, grotesque flesh bubbling up and firming into the gnarled and wrinkled apparition of an almost impossibly ancient man or perhaps a tall and wizened gnome. Stumbling wildly in its first moments of existence in this plane it bumps into, and startles, a slumbering hen causing it to flap and squawk in surprise. "Pardon me, madam." the being comments, doffing its hat formally. As the surprised bird flutters overhead it drops an egg in shock which smashes on the head of a tired cow, blinding it momentarily and causing it to kick out in shock. This in turn dislodges a lit lantern that spills burning oil into the dry and inflammable hay... The entity has been given many names, though only a scant few capable of utterance by mortal tongues, Devourer of Fates, The Terrible Old Man, Ruin of Empires, Destroyer of Worlds, The Sightless Beast of a Thousand Misfortunes, and The Bane of Optometrists to name but a few. But it chuckles to itself, seemingly oblivious the to escalating chaos left in its wake as it wanders from the growing inferno, and uses its preferred moniker as it mutters "Oh Mi-Go, you've done it again." Mr Mi-Go  Skills -Blind Luck -Walking Disaster Area -Narrow Escape -Harbinger of Chaos Weaknesses -Either oblivious or entirely committed to the bit (acts as a confused, elderly gentleman at all times) -Powers negated by spectacles (cannot remove them willingly but will unfailingly lose or break them in short order) -Abilities effect the surrounding area indiscriminately, causing chaos and misfortune to allies, bystanders, and enemies alike -Automatically critically fails visual perception rolls (negated temporarily by spectacles) Stoner Sloth fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Oct 14, 2023 |

Name: Katrina "Treena" Hendricks Theme: Hot Chip - One Pure Thought Skill Class: Weredeer Berserker Items: Silvered melee weapons (baseball bat, fists, boots), 1x flask Holy Water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLqJobJyTHo Taking the secret entrance to Dracula's basement through the flooded silver mines was far too dark and lonely for Treena to attempt alone, but try it she did. The monsters down there were worse inside, too, and there were a couple times where she could have bit it from being swung at when her back was turned... She'd wanted a little distance from all those gross boys in the vamp-hunting crew to process her thoughts on Carmilla, but to be quite honest all she'd done was get her favorite jersey shredded and bloodied in the process.. Treena, herself, was feeling pretty shredded by the time she made it out of the silver mine again, somehow still in one piece... well... Treena snapped a small piece of broken weredeer antler off her head that was still dangling on a strand of antler velvet. Ick, but also whatever - this stuff grows back pretty fast. On her morning shuffle home she was thinking about a backpack full of batteries for powering floodlamps or power tools, but she also knew that self-repair would have to come first. Today and tonight she was gonna hafta commit to tha backseat bitch lyfestyle~~~ Treena, Day 13: > Mend clothes, get that shower in finally, and Rest up at the Old House. Maybe meditate on Carmilla from yesterday... 100% alone. Treena, Night 13: > Try not to die (Join a team that's short-staffed, IDK rn)!

Van and Dan Wildsing A rest and recoup, that's what the brothers need, and get. Soup and friends and that sweet, sweet piece of a.. automobile, that Van has seemed increasingly drawn too, spending most of his time with beloved Dragula. Even when on-mission he seems reluctant to leave her.. it. It's concerning, but his brother has seen Van obsessed with far less beautiful amalgamations of necromancy, engineering and pure ol' fashioned horsepower. Van has become infatuated with Dragula. Day 13 With their knowledge of various.. chemical mood enhancers, the brothers see if they can lend their skills to help Count Ottone with his alchemical research. They pop a couple Party all the Time pills to enhance their brainpower. Speed and MDMA and the 'secret spices' is a hell of a drug. Night 14 Van absconds with Dragula for a spin in the foggy moonlight. Interpret that as you will. He tries to form a bond that even the master of evil and night himself cannot ever break. A bond that transcends life and death. Dan takes up guard duty for the Victorian House. It wouldn't be surprising if Dracula started really pushing back and trying to root out the thorn of good in his side.

Bob from Accounting ”A giant eagle or a snake? Where the heck am I going to find one of those?” Bob exclaimed. The zoologist just shrugged and sauntered off towards the koala exhibit. That night Bob dreamt about a giant bat fighting against a giant eagle, the hunters below, reeking havoc in The Castle. Glorious. The next morning Bob discussed Ottone Visconti’s offer with the others in The Old House. “Seems suspicious if you ask me. Rich guys like that don’t just give you things for free.There’s something he’s hiding…” Day 13 Still thinking of the bat vs. eagle battle, Bob from Accounting makes some calls to exotic pet shops, and bird breeders looking to purchase a large pet eagle to stay in the Old House and join the hunters for raids. Night 13 Bob travels to Ottone Visconti’s home offering his accounting services at a very reasonable price. He tells Ottone that he can make him a great deal of money. Bob wants to deeply examine Ottone’s finances and assets to discover what he may be hiding. Additionally, if hired, Bob will use his embezzle skill to siphon off a large amount of Ottone’s money into his own personal overseas account.

Mr Mi-Go Day 13 The entity seems drawn at randomly towards the hunters as if by fate, trusting in Blind Luck to stumble into one them by accident - or at least be drawn into events. Night 13 It will probably follow along with whoever it randomly encounters, this may add complications or benefits to whoever that happens to be. If it hasn't yet encountered any of the other PCs then it will likely mistake some area of the Castle for a hotel and wander in, possibly encountering anyone currently exploring that area.

Day 13: Chef, take the tavern's ye old restaurant depot card and get assorted bushels of different fruits. It's a long shot, but maybe 𝕯𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖚𝖑𝖆's pet can be friendly. It wouldn't be the first time you were mistaken as a monster. Something about this day feels off though. Not that you know any particular reason why. You haven't cared to notice the date or day of the week in a long time. You'd write it off as a case of bubbleguts, but most of the others seem to be uneasy as well. Perhaps pressing your luck alone in the castle isn't a good idea. Night 13: Batten down the hatches. Start some pots and cauldrons boiling on the upper floors near the windows, you know, in case the outside of the house needs scalding tonight...
