[Mafia] Witch Trip

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>find some wood and make a river bridge (Naomi)

You find a big log and push it into the river and now there's easy access to the land on the other side.

>Walks across the river. (Fentiriss)

You managed to make it across. But in spite of it, now you find your armor starting to rust over. Maybe a bridge was a better idea.

[LavenderDream]

Holy shit.. I did not expect that. Seems like this entity is more powerful than I thought.
>Call 911, but throw the phone at a nearby tree and run.

[PointMaid]

...Probably too much humidity in the air affecting our electronics.

Good idea with the bridge, though. Don't want everything to get wetter than it has to be.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Naomi walks over the log carefully over the makeshift bridge...

... Done!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

When Susan calls 911, her phone naturally explodes when she throws it, but it is when she tries to run away that she didn't count on the wall of fire that surrounds the forest and everyone inside it. She smacks face-first into it and gets first-degree burns as she stumbles back.

Pathetic girl. What part of "you will not leave this area alive do you not comprehend?"

[Zanreo]

CATS looks around. "What happen... someone just set up us the scene or... Then... what were these sounds, and why was he hearing them so clearly? He considers getting out his highly advanced future phone, but decides against it after what happened to the others. Anyway... this all had to be a trick of some kind! And he wouldn't let this stop him!

[Florien]

Eh, whatever. It's brigandine and a plate coat. Not going to lock up, easy to maintain. Worst case can just sandbag it clean. Though that's some corrosive water.

>explore that other side of the river.

Meanwhile, Lukanios waits for anyone else to take out their phone >tries to shoot the phone with his crossbow to show off.

[Cutegirl920fire]

As Abigail gathered a good amount of wood and being able to carry it with ease despite her petite body, she drops them when the ghosts show up. 
"They're just like us, suffering for eternity, isn't that funny?"

The voices of the damned souls that reside within Abigail began laughing. Abigail dropped the logs and fell to her knees. She shrieked, feeling their cold hands pushing towards the organs in her body. To anyone else, it seems like she's having a breakdown and they assumed it has something to do with the ghosts. They'll be half-right, but Abigail has her own ghosts tormenting her.

[Zanreo]

anyway, >cross bridge

[PointMaid]

...If somebody put fireworks all around the area

NOT FUNNY!

[LavenderDream]

>look for a source of running water

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>explore that other side of the river. (Fentiriss)

You look around and see what appears to be burned remains in the south part of the map. You check it out and it appears to be the burnt remains of a shelter. All that remains is some broken glass, a few pieces of wood and mostly ash. And what you think may be some skeletal remains. But before you can get too close to it to see what it is, you find yourself pushed back with great force.

I will not have a foul mortal such as yourself defile the resting place of my physical form.

[PointMaid]

Taira does drop her firewood back where most of the others seem to be setting up.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>cross bridge (CATS)

Bridge is crossed.

>look for a source of running water (Susan)

There's the whole river and there's also a lake on the other side. Plenty of water to go around.

[Cutegirl920fire]

"Come on, there's a true witch somewhere in these woods. Recreate the damned trials."

[Cutegirl920fire]

As the souls mocked Abigail, she stood up, resisting their torment even if it's painful.
"Witch!" She called out. "Where are you? I know that you're playing with everyone in your forest!"

[LavenderDream]

Well, at least I can find some water.

>cross the bridge and place the burns in the lake water for 3 minutes

[PopcornPie]

Quinarva finally got up, her tail singed by that phone fire stunt. "Just a little shock...that's all..." She tried to assure herself more than anyone else, but the frigid pit in her gut was telling her otherwise.

She built anger inside as she stood by Abigail. "What have we done to you, Σκρόφα? Our guide said you were unreal, not us! And you have killed him, what more revenge might you enact?"

[Florien]

Mmm. Cute. Got a badass over here. "Witch" ghost showing off her defenses, claiming we're mortal, claiming she's got time on her side. Weirdly protective of her corpse like she's going to need it revealing her hidden weakness in the least subtle way possible.

Look, time is NEUTRAL to you. Ap-a-thet-ic. Time is not on your side. It's on My and Luki's side. Rest of them, time could be against them or neutral to them, but it's only ON our side. You're out of your depth, Irikhin. Just some advice. We get around your thing probably, we break your reign probably, it's all going great.

Fentiriss wildly swings a sword around for no clear reason, before going back across the bridge to the rest of the group.

[PointMaid]

...What do you mean someone killed the guide? He clearly tripped, it wasn't anyone's fault.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

>cross the bridge and place the burns in the lake water for 3 minutes (Susan)

As you cross, you slip off the log and instead of falling into the river, you land onto some rocks and you think you might have broken a bone.

You are right, little girl. There is indeed a witch here. You are much more perspective than the others here, but you would be wise not to convince yourself it will save you here. You are all among the next group of mortals who have decided to barge down into my forest. A place I decreed no one shall come down here as long as my spirit still reigns the area. I am Agatha Bancroft. I was a witch that came to Eleanor Village over 300 years ago, chased out of town when the people finally discovered the truth about me. I have hidden myself out in this forest, planning my next wave of curses when the townspeople eventually discovered me at my shack. They grabbed their torches and set it on fire while I was still inside. But before my physical body passed on, I decreed no more living souls would step foot into Blackmoon Forest ever again and survive. My physical body might have died, but I have learned new abilities. To keep my spirit alive and to rule the forest, where no one will ever leave. Ever since then, various people have come by here. All different times. All of them met the same fate. A painful and slow death. just like you are all about to meet.

[Kennifer]

Delilah is just watching the firewood pile up.

"Okay, everybody ready? I'll get it started. We can add more wood later if needed."

She is...trying to keep a level head, at least.

[Dookie]

You all decide to make your way through the woods and find yourselves in the same forest that you saw before that hard fall. But it's a lot more.... off than that view you had earlier. Sure, the trees were all leafy green. But the nature life isn't as fruitful as you had seen earlier. In fact, all you can sense is death. The stench of something here that died entrenches you noses. You all look around and the trees themselves look old and dead. Looking at the ground, you see the bones of various creatures embedded into the ground. Birds, wolves, bears, among others. And you even see human remains. Even the sky, which was a beautiful blue, is now significantly darkened. Not enough where you need lights, but it's dark enough to add to the mood of dread you all suddenly feel. And if that weren't enough, as you venture further into the forest, you feel intense heat behind you all. You turn around and see these walls of flame going all around the forest. And suddenly... you all hear a voice. A deep, but snooty voice of an adult woman. You all look around to see who's talking, but no one to be found. But everyone here can hear the voice quite clearly.

Ahh, new victims brought fourth for my pleasure. Everyone of you has a purpose here. It is to die and suffer. with no means of escape. And let it be known that death will not come swiftly for you all.

The voice descends into maniacal laughter as you all find what appears to be several beings that appear to be ghosts rise out of the ground. They fly upwards and ring of ghosts that each circle around for a good several seconds before they drift off. They all fly into each and every one of you here.

You know what you have to do, the voice said, only this time inside the heads of everyone here, and the message echoes inside of you, getting dimmer, before it's replaced with the sound of screaming. The horrific screams of various people who sound like they are in a great deal of pain, quickly begging for death, dying horribly. The screams get louder and louder, assaulting your eardrums. You're not sure if you're all about to go insane or deaf, perhaps even both. But just as you all think you're on the verge of going either, the screams stop. Not sure you know what to do, you just look around and find yourselves in the northern side of Blackmoon Forest. Separated by a river with more to explore on the other side. You can find a way to cross the river, if you choose to find a way.

”…This trip sucks. This is a prank, right? Well I'm not falling for it.”

“…Alright, maybe I am.”

> She decides to find where the voice is coming from

[PopcornPie]

Quinarva softened. "You were ostracized because you were powerful? Because mortals cannot comprehend what does not match them? I understand..." If humans just remembered to accept their "mythical" brothers and sisters as they did centuries ago, the world would be so much better. Put it this way: She had a minotaur traveling companion once, who never returned from the place called "Miami". "I am sorry. I believed you were merely being greedy. Allow me to appease you."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I have met more bolder and stronger people who said they could stopped me. Do you really think you can intimidate me? Idiots, the voice said to Fentiriss and Lukanios.

Then it was onto Taira.

Just like most people I have met here. Skeptical of which they do not understand. Believing that if they do not see it, it means it does not exist. If you must know, I have caused the quake on the cliff to bring you all to me. I have no use for your guide, but you and everyone else will make for some riveting entertainment.
