Jauntside: Week Three Summary / Week Four Plotting.
Week III Summary
[Placeholder]
Week IV Plotting
In the final week of the plot, Harrogate will be racked by rainless thunderstorms with high winds and frequent dust-devils. Given how wet the region in general and England as a whole tends to be, not to mention the fact that the storms will continue for several days without moving, this is obviously unnatural.
The veil between living and dead is in tatters - starting a day or two into the mingle, ghosts will fade in and out of visibility much more easily than before. The living & dead may openly hang out & keep company with one another. But the dead have a worrying message for the living:
The ghosts can feel a wind on their side of the veil, something pushing them north-northwest. And they hear a faint, charming song, urging them to follow it. Whatever that means, it can’t be good, & the wind & song will grow in strength until they’re nearly irresistible to all - or almost all - of the spirits.
That said, there are ways to resist or avoid them, & in the question toplevel below, we welcome questions about how effective or ineffective various attempts to do so are.
Finally, we’ve got one more set of otherworldly encounters, and we’re going back to the tried-and-true RNG method to give three lucky Travelers a final glimpse of the eldritch underpinnings of this event. One of these three encounters will be heavily but temporarily traumatic, but the others will be merely alarming, & you can note in your sign-up comment here whether you have a preference. Characters who have not had a previous dream encounter or NPC haunting will be given priority so we can be as inclusive as possible, but everyone is welcome to sign up!
