Shade's Retreat: Walkabout Info

[powersthatbe]

Shade’s Retreat
A supernatural murder mystery
November 14 - December 24

A large, well-appointed inn at the crossroads seems like a pleasant enough waystation for travelers and Travelers alike. But soon enough, the peace will be broken by the arrival of a hunter of the supernatural forces known to plague the countryside. This hunter is on the trail of a Shade, a malicious dark spirit that feeds on human life force, which has taken possession of someone at the inn.

Though the threat of an enemy that can't be seen may be cause for doubt, the brutal death of one of the guests not long after the hunter's arrival should convince even the most determined skeptic that something is very, very wrong - just in time to find themselves magically trapped in the confines of the inn's grounds with the spectral killer still at large.

(This Walkabout will take place entirely within the grounds of the inn, and will run on a one OOC week = 1 IC day timescale.)

LOCATIONS

[powersthatbe]

The [name redacted] Inn consists of:

Common room - a large room with high rafters, containing numerous tables for the guests, a small stage area on which live performers occasionally play, and floor space that can be cleared for dancing, if need be.

Kitchen and store room - typically off-limits to guests. Where the food is made and stored.

Cellars - where the wine is kept. Also where the body will probably be housed after the murder mingle.

Guest rooms - While the rooms are all clean and the beds are all relatively comfortable, the size and luxury of the rooms vary by what an individual guest can afford. The most basic rooms sleep two people, with little space for anything more than two small beds and a small, rickety dresser, while the best accomodations are full suites with a king-sized bed and a sitting room, and ample space to get up to trouble.

Gardens - a large, lovingly-tended garden, with abundant wildflowers in spring, summer, and early fall, and an artificial grove of trees surrounding a small reflecting pool.
