Cusith, Tulcas, Mothi, Shamya, Marcaline, Avlia and Latikara all braved the thick Mist gathering in the under-hall to investigate and see if they could find a source.
Some of the initial occurrences in the Mist are as follows:
1. Something just tugged at your arm, but there's nothing there!
2.There is a hot breath on the back of your neck but no one is close enough to cause it.
3. Was that another scream? But no one else heard it.
4. Oh god, you trip over something long, soft and eerily corpse like but you blink, look down again and there is nothing there.
5.You see a shadow walking at your side, you look away to try and alert someone and it vanishes.
6.Suddenly the mists are thick around you and not even the light can penetrate it. When your vision clears you are alone with none of the party in sight.
7.The further you go, the more the dread grows but nothing unusual happens to you.
8.Every time you take a step you can hear footsteps echo behind you, following you, the steps don't match any of the party but there is no one else there!
However as they traveled deeper into the mists they encountered copies of themselves, twisted Doppelgangers without faces that knew them as well as they knew themselves. Though these creatures were ghost like and could not touch the physical world or be touched, The doppelgangers did a whole range of things to try and distract the team or even drive them to madness.
1.The Doppelganger just stands there, smiling.
2.The Doppelganger lurches towards you like its about to attack but the only thing you feel is a rush of air as it passes through you.
3.The doppelganger mimics your movements like a strange and disturbing mirror.
4.The doppelganger knows all your dark secrets and deepest fears, its taunting you with them, laughing.
5.The doppelganger is you, but not you, instead its a reflection of everything you hate about yourself. Think you're a bit over weight? Your doppelganger is a sumo, think your a monster? Your doppelganger looks like a hulking blood spattered beast. ect.
6.The doppelganger just laughs and laughs.
7.The doppelganger is just behind you, staying close enough to wrap its arms around you but never touching you or being touched
8. The doppelganger takes a few steps toward you and then vanishes but you can hear it calling your name in your own voice out in the mists.
Thankfully one of the ghost like guards that are now protecting the tether lead them to a magic symbol etched on the floor that drastically reduced the hold of the Mist on the underhall once it was destroyed and chased away the doppelgangers. Never the less the source of the spell is still the jungle and the group weren't able to do more than ease the effects and save the slaves still trapped below in a small area.
The underhall is open and the way through is visible again bit its still not advised to travel down there unless you have to.
Anyone in the tether is welcome to rp encountering the mist and their doppelganger from this point forward as pockets of mist are popping up more and more frequently throughout the tether building. Just remember they can't physically hurt your character.
You are also welcome to use the above event dice rolls in your own Mist rp.
The follow up event in the jungle will take place this coming weekend.
