[ Hopefully everyone had fun on the Arco Lunar! The morning after the boat departs from the docks, a letter arrives to your mailbox: ]

Hello, intrepid adventurer!

I am excited to have you along for a group excursion to the mysterious new island! In two days' time, let us gather in the town square and set off from there! Please be prepared to stay the night. It will be so fulfilling and memorable for everyone to spend a night on an adventure together!

If you have any questions or concerns, please come find me at my flower shop in town or at the forest farm where I live!

Sincerely,
Oriphi

[ If she accidentally delivered it to a few wrong mailboxes, then... Oops!

On the promised day, once everyone (and likely a few surprise tag-alongs) has gathered or been gathered, Ori distributes little paper bags of snacks to everyone. Inside are cookies, oat snacks, and a freshly-picked apple from her and M-21's orchard. Do with them as you please... Just don't let her catch you throwing it into the sea or something. 🥺 ]

Alright. I think we should head out, then! Thanks for coming along, everyone! I hope it'll be a great time. Oh, and please don't forget to drink plenty of water and use this incredible ointment I discovered on this island! It's called "sunscreen!" Tieflings don't really get sunburnt, but you should use it!

[ And with that our intrepid adventurers set off to the mysterious, dangerous, unknowable... resort island! ]

( This is the ill-fated mass extinction memshare event. Please refer to the event for details on the resort and the plotting post for any specific details for characters' memshares! There are toplevels for each area of the resort (and for the memshare). Enjoy! )

[It's delicious! Also, it seems to make you feel... better? Not as tired, at least, but maybe that's just the sugar putting more pep in your step.

There's nothing as cliché as a trapdoor, but there does seem to be something meant for storing something important. Visually, the door is unassuming, but you can feel the magic there. Heavily concentrated - it would take immense effort to break the protection spell, but you know just how to do that!

Or you can just try the knob without a care. Or do whatever else you want, but there's probably something very powerful and valuable behind this door.]

[ Treasure? Something shiny? Something new? Ellis is there. He'll break the protection spell to get through. Show him da moneyssss ]

[Oh no! You activated my trap card!

Which is to say you don't have much time to actually admire the treasure beyond the door, because as soon as you're over the threshold the atmosphere changes. It gets darker, heavier, and you hear the crackle and buzz of something electric.

Whether you turn around or not to see man behind you is irrelevant, because what matters is the tired way he sighs. He should have known it was you, and he knows the best way to get rid of you and the lightning is unavoidable.

Vox Nox.

You die.]

[You open your eyes to find yourself in a snowy field. You have a faint ringing in your ears, and you hair is still frizzy from static. Smoothing it out is easy enough, and you don't look as rumpled as you should.

In the distance you can see a lake to the south, and a forest to the west. To the east there seems to be a blizzard forming, and to the west... You can't make out much in the way of landmarks.

Do you want to continue? Where do you want to go?]

[ Sorry to Owen if he doesn't shriek upon dying, but Ellis sure did. When he comes around, the static makes him feel uneasy considering he just got shocked to death. Anyway, Ellis will continue, because nothing will progress if he does not. ]
