What is discussed at the start of this section?
Welcome to Legends of Adventress. I'm Mace Caffrey and you're listening to Stardust Rhapsody Anthem.
You find yourself at the bottom of that simple staircase. You step upwards, the stone walls closing in around you as each step brings you closer to what you hope is the mansion above. It's not a long walk until this rocky tunnel that you find yourself climbing through, you come to the end of it, and a small section of wall that you feel like you could put hand to and push open stands just in front of you. Would Ko still be in the lead, going up the stairs? I think now that I have Pixel, and she is catatonic, I don't think I'd be in the lead.
I'll be right behind you because I'm looking out for... I'll go first.
I think Pike would go first.
Yeah, fuck it.
And I'll be right behind Pike.
Yeah, then I'll be right behind Ziggy.
Because I'm looking for access panels.
I'll be behind you, so keep an eye on Pax.
I'm looking for access panels. If it looks like Pike can just move this aside bookcase style, then cool, but I'm presuming that there's some form of security not leading down into the Rancor pit.
Yeah, this doesn't seem to require strength. I would, you know, just kind of feel it out and see what I can do to move this thing or open it.
You go to give it a push, and it doesn't feel as though it's secured or locked down, but it does feel heavy. You may need potentially one additional person. I call on Red.
Excuse me. Hold on.
I'm making time. Okay, hold on.
Careful, careful of the picks. I would do it, but I sprained my wrist. As you walk up to this thing, I say, yeah, thanks, big guy. I would have called Coe, but she's busy. No, you're right.
What challenges do the characters face as they explore the mansion?
Here we go. You have a shove in this door of sorts.
Ah!
swings outward and open. In front of you, almost this warmth strikes, leaving this cold, wet, dingy smell from down below. The manner... You find yourself inside. Behind you, as you push against this mechanism and you walk out, almost this red carpeting covers the ground as it extends forward to the right and then seemingly hooked back. Above you, crystalline chandeliers hang, casting an opalescent glow throughout the room. The ceilings are extraordinarily tall as the grandeur of this space, now that you find yourself within the manor, makes itself finally known to you.
How big do you think this place is? It's pretty big. I grew up in a place kind of like this. It's going to have dozens of rooms and bathrooms and hallways and connections, multiple staff rooms in different sections, all with different purposes.
Well, based on what you know, where would the dom be?
He's got to have some sort of office or safe room or something, right?
Yeah.
Where would your parents hang out in a house like this?
It's not a question of hanging out. He's looking for safety. So he would go where he conducts business, and there would be something like a panic room.
I will search my memory. Could I... Hmm. History check? Could I somehow have closed my character sheet?
That's very funny.
The answer is more likely than you think. More likely than you think. My character's ZI view. I would love to make a history check or... insight to the place? I'm trying to use my memory of growing up pretty wealthy to divine where we are in the mansion and where we would need to go to get to the main thoroughfare, and from there, where I think it would be the most likely place to have a safety space.
Roll an insight or history check.
roll on your laptop?
Yeah.
He's a psycho.
That really fucking freaked me out.
It also really landed. It made a sick noise.
You know what I mean? I didn't like that.
I'm gonna choose history, because it's plus seven instead of plus five, and I get a dirty 20.
With a dirty 20, you think about this layout so far, and you think to yourself, oh, of course, we're right above the Rancor pit. That means that the layout dictates that you go, not all houses are built the same. They don't have a Rancor pit beneath them. But I would say from a combination of what you've watched as the camera feed has fed back to you from the drones above.
